Mu Qing, hounded by marriage pressure to the point of not daring to return home, rented her elder brother's classmate, Ye Junbo, to pretend to be her husband, all for the sake of a peaceful lif...

Chapter 609 Sudden Suspicion

Yang Xi lamented that the world is ever-changing. When her best friend was pressured to get married and didn't even dare to go home, she never thought that her own major life event would also be resolved because of her friend's pressure to get married.

"I didn't expect that either. Honey, go out and watch TV. Dinner will be ready soon."

"good."

Yang Xi rubbed his back, then let go of her and turned away.

Just as she turned around, she was pulled back by his big hand. He hugged her and lingered on her lips for a while before letting her go.

Coming out of the kitchen, I saw a servant cutting a plate of fruit and placing it on the coffee table. Seeing Yang Xi coming out, the servant seemed startled, then smiled and said, "Madam, I cut a plate of fruit for you."

"Well, leave it there. I'll eat it later."

The servant responded respectfully and retreated.

Yang Xi sat down on the sofa again, took a look at the plate of fruit, and when he was about to eat it, he remembered the servant's frightened look just now. Yang Xi, who was not very suspicious, actually became suspicious. Could there be something wrong with this plate of fruit?

In the past, the servants would ask her before preparing meals to make sure she wanted to eat.

This time, he didn't even ask her, and brought it to her when she was not in the living room. Yang Xi always felt it was strange.

So he put down the plate of fruit.

Although it was her own home, the servants working here were all women Uncle Wen had hired and served before. Besides her, Yang Xi, there was another person, Zhao Shu.

Zhao Shu was once Ouyang Yu's beloved daughter. Who knows if Zhao Shu had ever bribed the servants?

She has now replaced Zhao Shu's position and become Ouyang Yu's wife, the eldest lady of the Ouyang family. There are countless people who are jealous and envious of her. She'd better be careful, as she has heard that there are some shady things happening in the inner houses of wealthy families.

For example, Qingqing's father's family was a turbid pool of water. Qingqing never told her in detail before. It was not until she became Ouyang Yu's wife that Ouyang Yu told her how deep the water in the Lan family was. Only then did Yang Xi realize that the struggles among wealthy families in real life were similar to those shown on TV.

In Qingqing's words, novels are based on life, and many TV dramas are adapted from novels.

After the servant who had just brought the fruit plate to Yang Xi left, she hid at the door and secretly watched Yang Xi's actions. When she saw Yang Xi picked up the fruit plate, she seemed a little nervous. When she saw that Yang Xi did not eat it in the end and put down the fruit plate, she breathed a sigh of relief and secretly turned around and left.

This is the servant bribed by Mrs. Zhao.

She originally wanted to resign and leave, but who knew that Mrs. Zhao bribed not only her, but also other people to keep an eye on her.

She had no choice but to take action.

But when Yang Xi was eating at home, the young couple liked to cook by themselves, which gave her no chance to put medicine in the soup. At night, the water or milk that Yang Xi drank all passed through the hands of their eldest young master, so they had no chance at all.

The servant had no choice but to grind the contraceptive pills into powder and sprinkle it on the cut fruit. As long as Yang Xi ate it, it would be at least somewhat effective.

Yang Xi suspected that there was something wrong with the fruit plate, but she did not mention it to Ouyang Yu. Instead, she found a bag and poured all the cut fruits into the bag, intending to give it to her brother tomorrow.

She asked her brother to find someone to help her check whether there were any drugs in these fruits.

No, she is just too suspicious.

If any problems are found and there is evidence, then tell Ouyang Yu and start an investigation. It would be great if the problem can be found, but if not, then it would be a good opportunity to replace all the servants in the house.

Apart from the housekeeper Uncle Wen and the bodyguards, the maids always liked to compare her with Zhao Shu behind her back. Yang Xi had overheard this several times, but she endured it and didn't lose her temper. Once she did, she would replace all the maids.

After finishing everything, Yang Xi watched TV and chatted with his friends as if nothing had happened.

After dinner, the young couple went out for a walk hand in hand.

The next day, Yang Xi found her brother with the bag of cut fruit. She did not go back to her parents' home as she did not want to disturb her parents.

Brother Yang pushed open the door of the coffee shop, walked in, and quickly found his sister sitting by the window.

"Xiao Xi."

Brother Yang strode towards his sister and said as he sat down, "Why did you ask me to come here?"

This is not a casual coffee shop.

Seeing a bag of cut fruit on the table, he asked, "Is this for me?"

As he spoke, he reached out to take the bag of fruit, smiling, "My sister is so considerate. She cut it all up for me to eat."

"Brother, that's not for you to eat."

Brother Yang paused, then asked sourly, "Is this for Ouyang Yu? Xiaoxi, you can't forget me just because you have a husband. Don't you remember that I packed a portion of whatever delicious food I had for you?"

Yang Xi smiled and said, "Brother, am I that kind of person? I just want to ask you for help with something, but I don't want Ouyang Yu to know. What do you want to drink? I'll order it for you."

"Just a glass of water. If I want to drink coffee, I'll go to your shop. Don't patronize other people's business."

Yang Xi smiled, he was indeed her brother.

After ordering a glass of boiled water for her eldest brother, Yang Xi whispered her suspicions to him. Afterwards, she felt a little embarrassed. "Brother, do you think I'm too suspicious? Or have I read too many novels written by Qingqing?"

"Think too badly of human nature?"

Brother Yang said seriously, "For your own safety, you're right to be suspicious. Human nature can be very bad sometimes and can't stand the test of money. Ouyang Yu and Zhao Shu have been in a relationship for more than ten years. Even after you got together with him, Zhao Shu still refused to give up. If she hadn't been in jail, I think it would have been difficult for you two to get married."

"Didn't Mrs. Zhao also look for you? Now that Zhao Shu is in jail, there's no guarantee that Mrs. Zhao won't do something behind your back."

"Mrs. Zhao is gone."

The Zhao family has already immigrated. After Zhao Shu moved in, Mrs. Zhao left first. She will probably have to wait until Zhao Shu comes out before she comes back to pick up her daughter.

"Anyway, it's better to be careful. I'll take these fruits for you to have them tested. If they're fine, then forget it. But if they are, we'll definitely get to the bottom of it."

He will never let anyone off easily if he dares to attack his sister.

Yang Xi whispered, "I hope I'm just overthinking it."

She didn't want to see anyone trying to harm her.

She and Ouyang Yu were in a legitimate relationship, and it was Ouyang Yu who pursued her first. She was not a mistress. Besides, Zhao Shu had never accepted Ouyang Yu's love and was not Ouyang Yu's lover. When Yang Xi was in love with Ouyang Yu, both of them were single.

"Does Ouyang Yu know?"

"I haven't told him yet. With his temper, if I tell him, he'll definitely make a scene. I don't want to wrongly accuse anyone without evidence."

If Ouyang Yu knew, regardless of whether there was evidence or not, he would drive out all the servants in the villa and might even do something to hurt those people.
