Chapter 33: Lao Xin drank the poisoned soup in one gulp
Zhu Mingqing glanced at the table and picked up her portion of food: "Do you dare to eat it?"
Song heaved a sigh of relief: "What am I afraid of?"
As she spoke, she took a big bite of the meat with a satisfied smile on her face: "It's delicious. Why, you have nothing to say now?"
Lao Xin next to him frowned. How dare she do that? Didn’t she drug him?
Zhu Mingqing raised his lips slightly and pointed at the soup beside him: "What about this?"
Song's expression froze, and she raised her voice, trying to overpower the other person with her loud voice: "Why should I eat it just because you tell me to? Since you said the soup is poisonous, then prove it to me."
Zhu Mingqing raised her arm and found a mouse in her hand.
Song was disgusted and took two steps back unconsciously.
The Luo family also widened their eyes.
I didn’t expect that Zhu Mingqing, who was always gentle and kind, would even dare to touch this thing.
The mouse was placed on the ground. It chirped and took two steps forward, then licked the food in front of it. After a while, nothing happened and it was still alive and kicking.
Song suddenly became excited, as if she had caught something on her.
"Sister-in-law, your ability to frame others is getting better and better. It's fine if you just smear my innocence, but you even don't let the police officers go. Do you want to implicate all of us?" As she spoke, she did not forget to provoke the relationship between Zhu Mingqing and the Luo family.
Lao Xin also pressed the issue, "Madam Zhu, Lord Liang has been lenient with you time and time again, yet you are pushing your luck even further. You are truly audacious!"
He turned to Liang He and said, "Sir, we must not let her go easily this time. Otherwise, we will be at her mercy in the future!"
Song knelt on the ground and cried, "I am innocent. My Lord, you must stand up for us and punish Zhu severely."
"It really has nothing to do with me. I'm just a prisoner, where can I find poison?"
"She loves to cook for everyone. If the food is really poisonous, she might have done it."
One of them plays the good cop and the other the bad cop, and they are determined to nail Zhu Mingqing to death!
The emotions of the people present were also aroused by them, and indignant voices were intertwined, and the scene was extremely chaotic for a while.
"Yes, we can't let her go!"
"How dare a prisoner bully us? Why?"
"Who knows what her relationship is with Captain Liang?"
"Being beautiful means you have ability."
Some people have long been dissatisfied with Zhu Mingqing's past actions.
Why do we eat and dress better than them?
Why did Captain Liang defend him with all his might?
When Liang He heard the last two sentences, he was so angry that his face turned blue.
Who is he doing this for? He just wants to save everyone some money on food.
You eat and use other people's things, but in the end it becomes someone else's fault.
However, given Mrs. Zhu's personality, would she really just say that casually?
Liang He's eyes were dark and his face was filled with anger:
"Zhu, there is no poison in the food, why are you framing others?!"
Zhu Mingqing didn't answer him directly. Instead, he turned to look at Old Xin and said with a smile, "Master Xin, do you remember what you said? You will work like a slave for me in your next life. If you really want to repay me, why not drink this bowl of soup in front of you?"
Here it comes again, that all-seeing look, as if he is a joke.
Lao Xin turned his head away without even looking, and drank the soup in one gulp.
There's no poison anyway, so what if I drink it?
It would be best if the adults had a worse impression of her.
If anything happens to her, no one in the first house will have an easy time.
This way, we can complete the task assigned by the master.
Song didn't dare to stop him at all and could only watch Lao Xin drink the bowl of poisoned soup.
Although she knew it wouldn't work so quickly, she still prayed anxiously in her heart that it wouldn't happen right away.
"Now it proves that you are talking nonsense." A hint of pride flashed across Lao Xin's eyes, but he didn't expect the other party to smile as well.
"why are you laughing?"
Zhu Mingqing glanced at Song casually, covered his mouth and smiled: "What a fool! How do you know the soup is okay?"
Old Xin opened his mouth and blurted out: "We didn't go down here..."
Halfway through his words, he realized something was wrong and quickly tried to make amends: "Unless, you were the one who did it. That's why you knew there was something wrong with the soup, right?!"
As he said this, he had a frightened expression on his face, which was extremely exaggerated.
"Puff."
Seeing him perform so hard, Zhu Mingqing couldn't help laughing.
…
Luo Feng looked at the farce here and felt extremely bored.
His stomach growled, so he reached for a drink.
Suddenly, a hand reached out and knocked over his bowl.
It’s Wu Yunyun.
Luo Feng was annoyed: "What are you doing?"
Wu Yunyun whispered, "Mother said it's poisonous."
Luo Feng glared at her: "She's just talking nonsense, and you really believe it?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Mingqing, who was not far away, had her eyes flickering slightly. If this wasn't the original owner's biological son, she would have really wanted to force him to drink it, even if he didn't want to.
Luo Xiao also felt that this woman might have fallen ill again and came out to cause trouble for no reason.
“What a hassle!”
Do you really think that if the officials give her some favors, she can open a dyeing factory?
Now it has aroused public anger and implicated them.
Luo Fu looked at the angry expressions of the officers and became more and more frightened.
She whispered in Zhu Mingqing's ear, "Mother, please apologize to the adults."
Zhu Mingqing's eyebrows twitched, the corners of his lips curled up coldly, and a hint of darkness flashed in his eyes.
It's not surprising. These children have never had a good relationship with her, so it's expected that they would stand up and blame her as soon as something like this happened.
But my hands are itchy!
Seeing that she didn't move, Luo Fu stepped forward and tried to pull her down to her knees: "Apologize quickly!"
As long as you apologize, maybe they won't pursue the matter.
Luo Huai took a deep breath, pulled Luo Fu back, and turned to look at her: "Do you think mother is a liar? Don't make rash conclusions without knowing the truth."
Zhu Mingqing's expression changed slightly.
At this moment, no one believed her, but Luo Huai was the only one who firmly believed that she was right.
Does he believe in himself so much?
"Mother, how did you find out that the food was poisonous? Tell the truth, otherwise some people won't admit it."
Luo Huai looked at him with support and encouragement. Zhu Mingqing suddenly reached out and rubbed his head: "They won't believe me even if I tell them. Let's wait a little longer."
Luo Huai was anxious: "Is there anything that can't be said now?"
A loud shout suddenly rang out.
“That’s enough!”
After observing for a while, Liang He saw that the little mouse was fine so far, and Old Xin and Madam Song were also fine, so he couldn't help but feel annoyed.
There was no poison in the food, but Mrs. Zhu was so sure it was poisonous. She might have heard some rumors.
However, the rumors are not credible!
Under the watchful eyes of the public, I must give an explanation to everyone.
"Press him down and keep him under strict watch."
