Chapter 253

"Mother, why don't you even ask him what good deeds he's done!" Xu Heming was practically driven mad by her stupid son.

“Qing Shi is just a child, what can he do? Besides, if a child makes a mistake, just teach him properly. What if he falls while you're carrying him like this? My poor grandson.” The old princess gestured to Xu Heming to quickly put her precious grandson down.

Xu Heming took a deep breath.

Do you want the old princess to see clearly that a child can explain what he is saying?

"Grandmother, what's wrong?" Xu Qingshi then noticed that the old princess was lying in bed.

"It's nothing, just a minor cold." The old princess felt much better when she saw Xu Qing.

"Grandmother, you're lying!" Xu Qingshi said with red eyes as he looked at the frail old princess, thinking to himself, how could the old princess have just caught a minor cold?

Did he think that his grandmother believed he was too young and easy to fool?

"Grandmother, you haven't been poisoned, have you?" Xu Qingshi didn't know how she came up with the idea that the old princess might be poisoned.

However, Xu Qingshi's words stunned everyone in the room. Granny Luo looked at Xu Heming with a puzzled expression and asked with her eyes, "Did you tell the young master these things?"

Xiuzhu was puzzled and worried that the old princess might not be able to bear it if she found out that her cousin had poisoned her.

"What's with those expressions? Could it be that this old woman really doesn't have a cold?" Looking at their expressions, the old princess had long been unprepared for her weakness and had begun to have doubts.

Originally, she thought she was overthinking it.

But now, seeing the expressions on their faces, the old princess had a bold idea in her mind: she didn't have a cold at all.

They were actually poisoned!

"Granny Luo, where is Qiao Shu? Has she really gone back?" The old princess quickly thought of Zheng Qiao Shu, who had not been seen for the past few days.

The seed of doubt in my heart quietly took root and sprouted.

The old princess's words startled Luo Mama. For a moment, she didn't know how to answer the old princess, so she could only look to Xu Heming for help.

"Grandmother, what Qiao Shu? I haven't seen her since I came back," Xu Qingshi asked with a curious look.

Xu Heming sighed, knowing that this matter could no longer be kept secret.

Well, from the beginning, he didn't actually intend to hide it from the old princess. He was just worried that the old princess was weak and wouldn't be able to withstand the blow.

Now that she has discovered something is wrong, there is no need for her to continue hiding it.

“Mother, this is a long story.” Xu Heming sighed and told the old princess everything.

Back then, it was Li Tianyou who noticed something was wrong. When Liu Ming gave him the antidote, Xu Heming didn't hide it from him. Zheng Qiaoshu even tried to turn the tables and falsely accused Li Tianyou and Liu Ming of poisoning her.

The more the old princess listened, the darker her face became.

She believed she had treated Zheng Qiaoshu well, but she never expected that this was how Zheng Qiaoshu would repay her.

He really is an ungrateful wretch.

She treated her with all her heart, but the other woman wanted her own life.
