Chapter 11 Poisoned



Aunt Zhang quickly cast a pleading look at Liu Ming and stepped forward to plead, "Master, they are ignorant. Please don't be angry. Don't be angry while eating. Madam, please be magnanimous and don't argue with these ignorant people! Don't let Master get angry while eating. It's not good for your health."

Zhou Shuo looked at the elderly woman, took Mu Ci's spoon, scooped a spoonful of egg custard and brought it to Mu Ci's lips: "Brother, you can't get angry while eating. Even children know that. You have to be obedient!"

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Mu Ci actually opened his mouth.

The two of them fed the baby as if no one was around.

Liu Ming signaled Zhang Ma to have someone clean up the broken porcelain on the floor quickly.

This was the young master establishing his authority over the young mistress. Liu Ming understood this, and so did Aunt Zhang and the others.

They were too careless. They never expected that the young master would be so concerned about a girl who was brought here for good luck. But, this shouldn't be the case!

Could it be that the young master is putting on a show for everyone?

Everyone knows that the young master is against weddings that bring good luck to the bride. Now that the young mistress who is here to bring good luck has come into the house, the young master is giving her face like this. No matter how you think about it, it feels wrong!

This must be what the young master is doing for everyone to see!

While cleaning up, Mrs. Zhang and the others glanced at Zhou Shuo secretly, feeling resentful.

After this commotion, Zhou Shuo had a clear understanding of the situation of the servants in this house.

After dinner, Zhou Shuo asked Xiao Ling to accompany her for a walk, but as soon as she returned to Mu Ci's bedroom, Zhou Shuo smelled a strange smell and her heart sank.

Mu Ci was sitting at the head of the bed reading a book. When he saw her come in, he patted the person next to him and asked her to sit over.

Zhou Shuo saw the cup on the bedside table. She picked it up and sniffed it, her expression changing involuntarily: "What did brother just drink?"

Mu Ci looked at her in confusion: "Milk, what's wrong?"

Zhou Shuo placed his fingers on Mu Ci's wrist, feeling his pulse and whispering, "Brother, if there's an emergency, who can I trust in this family?"

Mu Ci felt dizzy and shook his head hard, then replied, "Uncle Liu, Grandpa!"

"Okay, brother, there is something wrong with the milk you just drank. You will feel very uncomfortable next, but you have to believe me, I will never let anything happen to you!" Zhou Shuo said anxiously.

Zhou Shuo wrapped the milk cup in a tissue and threw it into the bedside table.

"Zhou Shuo." Mu Ci felt nauseous.

"Wow——" Mu Ci vomited uncontrollably.

"Brother!" Zhou Shuo exclaimed.

Aunt Zhang pushed the door open and came in: "What's going on? Huh? Someone come! Quick, someone come! What's wrong with the young master?"

The servants swarmed over, wanting to come forward to help Mu Ci, and Aunt Zhang even tried to push Zhou Shuo away.

Zhou Shuo pushed them away and shouted, "Get out of the way! Stand aside!"

Everyone couldn't help but be stunned.

"Where is Uncle Liu?" Zhou Shuo swept his sharp eyes over everyone.

Liu Ming hurried over: "What's going on?"

Mu Ci was still vomiting. Not only did he vomit out all the food he had eaten for dinner, he also started vomiting blood.

"Oh my God! Call the old man!"

"Call the lady!"

The servants were thrown into disarray. Only Aunt Zhang grabbed Zhou Shuo and said, "Madam! What did you feed our young master? Huh? What did you feed our young master? Do you want to kill him? If you don't want to marry in to bring good luck, given the character of our old man from the Mu family, he wouldn't force you. But why do you want to harm our young master? You are so cruel! Come on! Call the bodyguards in quickly. Keep this bad woman under control. Don't let her get away. Wait until the old man comes to deal with her!"

These words made the servants look at Zhou Shuo hatefully.

Zhou Shuo was amused: "Are you saying I want to harm Mu Ci?"

Zhang Ma burst into tears: "Everyone saw it. The young master only ate the dishes you cooked and didn't touch anything else. If you didn't drug the dishes, why did the young master become like this? It's you! It's you! It's you who harmed our young master! You are a murderer!"

Zhou Shuo looked at her and said, "Why don't you call the police and let them arrest me?"

Just as Aunt Zhang was about to speak, Mrs. Zhang said in a panic, "You can't call the police. How shameful would that be for the Mu family? Just tie her up and wait for the old man and his wife to come! You'll have to listen to them about what to do with her!"

Zhou Shuo was angry. These people were not concerned about Mu Ci's life or death at this time, but were thinking about how to frame her.

She shook off Zhang Ma's hand and said, "Get out of here!"

She walked straight to her suitcase, took out a small medicine bottle, walked to Mu Ci's bed, ignored the filth, and poured out a black pill.

"What does she want to feed the young master? Stop her!" a servant screamed.

"Stop!" A sharp female voice sounded at the door.

Zhou Shuo turned around and saw Mr. Mu and Mrs. Mu who had just walked to the door, as well as a tall middle-aged man who looked very similar to Mu Ci. He must be Mu Ci's father.

"I told you to stop!" Duan Si roared as he rushed over, but was frightened by the filth in front of the bed and took two steps back, quickly covering his mouth and nose.

Zhou Shuo calmly put the pill in his hand into Mu Ci's mouth, smoothed it down his throat, and only felt relieved when he was sure that he had swallowed it.

Liu Ming supported Mu Ci's soft body and let him lean on him. Although he was surprised by the young lady's actions, he did not stop her. He knew that the young master could even put his life in the hands of the young lady.

Looking at the family heads at the door, he felt the same as Zhou Shuo at the moment: they came too quickly.

"What did you feed Mu Ci? Why did you want to hurt him?" Duan Si covered his nose and stepped back, yelling at Zhou Shuo.

Mu Chen was also confused when he saw the scene in front of him.

He ignored the filth on the ground and walked over: "Mu Ci! Mu Ci!"

Zhou Shuo stepped forward to stop him: "Grandpa, let someone clean up this place first, so as not to offend you."

"Xiao Ling!" This is the only person she can use.

"Yes, young madam!" Xiao Ling stepped forward swiftly, and a servant came to help.

After everything was tidied, Liu Ming carefully laid Mu Ci flat on the bed. His breathing was steady, as if he was asleep.

Duan Si stepped forward and shoved Zhou Shuo hard, saying angrily, "What the hell did you feed my son? I'm going to have the police arrest you!"

Zhou Shuo was caught off guard and stumbled onto Mu Ci's bed.

She stood up, took out the paper-wrapped cup from the bedside table, handed it to Liu Ming, and said coldly, "Uncle Liu, have someone test this cup and find out who sent the spiked milk to my brother!"

She glanced coldly at the servants, and both Aunt Zhang and Mrs. Zhang avoided her gaze.

"I asked you what you just gave my son to eat?" Duan Si's eyes were about to spit fire.
