With her dual plant and beast-mastery superpowers, Lu Wanyin is reborn back to her wedding night. Her husband is a general, strong and well-built. Unfortunately, the next day the new emperor orders...
Chapter 35 Lu Wanyin poisoned us
The maid was sitting next to her mother when she was suddenly knocked forward by a round thing.
She screamed in fright.
Everyone was shocked.
Xie Zichuan did not give up and took advantage of the chaos to steal food from several servants.
Until Xuan Qi rushed over and kicked him down.
He was tired, hungry, and his chest ached, and he couldn't get up after trying several times.
He simply lay on the ground and chewed the food in his mouth.
"My little one!"
Seeing that the person being kicked was her youngest son, Zhou ran over for her life.
She squatted down beside Xie Zichuan, picked up his head and looked around: "Does it hurt? Is there any broken skin? Is there bleeding..."
Xie Zichuan swallowed the food and grinned, revealing a mouthful of residue.
"Mom, they have delicious food, please ask them to give it all to me, I'm not full yet!"
"Also, the one who kicked me, help me kick him to death!"
Zhou looked in the direction of Xie Zichuan's hand.
Xuan Qi was looking at the mother and son with his eyes wide open.
The scene of Xuan Qi holding the knife against Hou Yuanji's neck emerged in her mind, and she shuddered.
It was obvious that he wanted to back out.
Xie Zichuan's attention was attracted by the steamed cake in a maid's hand.
He supported himself on the ground with both hands and struggled to get up: "She has steamed cake in her hand! I want to eat steamed cake too!"
Zhou's heart was almost broken.
She held him down with all her might and angrily shouted at the maid, "Didn't you hear that the young master wanted to eat steamed cakes? Hurry and serve them!"
This maid is less than fifteen years old. She is young and timid.
When he heard the eldest lady's scolding, he trembled like a sieve and couldn't even walk.
Seeing her dithering, Zhou was furious: "Who bought this little bitch into the mansion? She doesn't even know the rules!"
My stomach is already beating like a drum.
Zhou swallowed hard and immediately changed her tone, "Normally, the young master wouldn't even look at your shabby steamed cake. But now that he's taken a liking to it, it's your blessing. Hurry and bring it over!"
"And you, you, you, yes, all three of you, give me the food!"
The three maids who were named were also very hungry. They were reluctant to give up the food in their hands, but they did not dare to offend Zhou.
I didn't know what to do for a moment.
Seeing that Zhou was about to get the delicious food, the third wife of the Xie family no longer felt any pain or fatigue.
More than twenty pairs of green-glowing eyes were selecting food among the servants.
"Hey! Who's acting like an official's wife here?"
Lu Wanyin walked out from behind Xuan Qi.
His tone was cold and his eyes were so cold that they seemed to freeze people to death.
Zhou looked at her for only a moment, and then he became listless as if it was the hottest time of summer.
"mother!"
Xie Zichuan kicked his legs on the ground in anxiety.
Zhou immediately raised her head high as if she had been injected with chicken blood.
"How dare you talk to your mother-in-law like that? Lu Wanyin, do you understand the moral code? Do you respect the elderly and love the young? I don't care if you eat alone, and you shouldn't interfere with my discipline of the servants!"
Lu Wanyin saw the little maid who was hit, and her palms were scratched by the gravel.
She sneered and said, "You've become a prisoner. You don't know whose servant you will be in the future. How dare you order others around?"
These few words not only dealt a heavy blow to Zhou, but also made the other members of the Xie family feel like they were falling into an icy cave.
They couldn't afford to offend Hou Yuanji, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
He couldn't afford to offend Xie Jingci and Lu Wanyin who were protected by their personal guards.
He even didn't dare to show any displeasure to the vicious escort.
He could only show off his power to these servants of the Xie family.
But now that Lu Wanyin has torn off their last fig leaf, doesn't that mean anyone can come and step on them?
Xie Derui said sternly, "I am your second uncle. I can't order them around, but I can order you around. You, a young man, have food but don't know how to respect your elders. So, as an elder, I will ask you for it myself. Will you give it to me or not?"
"Using seniority to pressure me"
Lu Wanyin's smile was devoid of any warmth. She looked directly at Xie Derui and asked word by word, "When did I start caring about generation differences?"
Xie Derui: ...
Everyone in the Xie family: ...
Very strange.
They should obviously be angry.
But they were unexpectedly calm.
It seems like that's how it should be.
Xie Derui suddenly didn't know whether he should pretend to be angry.
Pretending would only provoke Lu Wanyin's sharper counterattack.
If he doesn't pretend, he will feel embarrassed.
"It hurts! Mom! It hurts so much! Ugh..."
Xie Derui praised in his heart, saying that this kid had built a good step.
Unexpectedly, Zhou's scream almost pierced his eardrum.
"My dearest child! Why are you foaming at the mouth?"
Xie Derui looked down and saw that Xie Zichuan was not only foaming at the mouth.
His whole body was twitching, his eyes were rolled up, and his lips were as black as ink.
“This is poisoning.”
Xie Derui was afraid of being infected and took five or six steps back.
The eldest wife's Xie Ziqian and Xie Ziheng supported the blind Xie Deyao forward.
Seeing that Xie Zichuan's convulsions were getting weaker and weaker, everyone was horrified.
Xie Yuyan covered her mouth and asked anxiously: "My brother is... there is no hope."
Every time the two of them spoke, they struck directly at Zhou's heart.
She held Xie Zichuan's head tightly in her arms, crying and wiping away the white foam with her sleeves.
"My dear, you can't abandon me! I love you the most. What will I do if you leave me? Do you hear me? Don't sleep, get up and tell me you were just joking with me. Come on!"
Lu Wanyin pushed through the crowd and looked at Xie Zichuan's symptoms.
She frowned and asked, "What else did he eat besides the food he snatched from the maids?"
It would be better if she didn't say anything.
As soon as Zhou opened her mouth, it was like she had grabbed a straw when she was drowning.
"You killed my youngest son! You couldn't tolerate our Xie family. You blinded the eldest master, broke the second master's hand, and killed Aunt Zhang. Now it's finally my youngest son's turn, isn't it?"
Regardless of whether there was evidence or not, Zhou insisted that Lu Wanyin was the murderer.
She put Xie Zichuan down, stood up from the ground, and approached Lu Wanyin step by step.
Tears fell from the corners of her eyes like falling pearls.
Zhou's eyes were wide open.
In a short while, the red blood spread to the entire eye.
"If you want to kill someone, kill me first. Please don't touch my son! My youngest son is only nine years old! Nine years old! How can you be so cruel?"
Suddenly, Zhou rushed towards Lu Wanyin at lightning speed.
A silver needle flashed in Lu Wanyin's palm.
It was exactly the same as the one that killed Aunt Zhang that day.
Just as Zhou's hand was about to grab Lu Wanyin's face, she put away the silver needle and quickly dodged to the side.
At the same time, Xuan Qi kicked Zhou onto Xie Ziqian.
At this time, Zhou was an old mother who was about to bury her son, and neither of them could do anything to add insult to injury.
Hou Yuanji quickly dropped his half-eaten meal and limped over, taking two steps at a time.
His eyes were shining, and he asked excitedly: "Ms. Zhou, you accused Lu Wanyin of poisoning Xie Zichuan, do you have any evidence?"
"have!"
Before Zhou could even stand firmly in Xie Ziqian's arms, she hurriedly said, "My youngest son ate the food they distributed to the servants. If they didn't poison him, who else could it be?"
