It's poison.
She glanced at everyone without showing any emotion, knowing that they had all taken the antidote pills, and then said with a smile, "Everyone, eat up, the food today is really good."
Then, she used her inner strength to condense her voice into a thin thread and transmit it to everyone's ears: "There is poison in the food. You will be fine if you take the antidote pills. Pretend to faint in a moment, and don't give yourself away."
Shen's parents, the Shen brothers, and Pei Nian'an all understood each other perfectly.
They continued eating with their heads down, and before long, they all clutched their stomachs and collapsed onto the table, seemingly unconscious. Pei Nian'an followed suit, tilting her head to the side, leaning back in her chair, and closing her eyes tightly.
Of all the people at the table, only Xiaoping remained seated. He looked at the group of people who had "fainted" before him.
The innocent smile on her face vanished instantly.
Instead, an evil incongruous with its age has emerged.
A cold smile curled at the corner of his lips.
His eyes swept over the crowd with a sinister look, as if he were looking at a flock of lambs to the slaughter.
There was not a trace of her former obedient demeanor left.
Xiaoping's evil expression grew even more pronounced. He clapped his hands in the air, and several dark figures immediately rushed in from outside the door. They were a group of masked men in black, holding gleaming knives. As soon as they entered, they walked towards the "fainted" group, clearly intending to kill them.
Just then, Shen Qingtang, who had been "fainting," suddenly opened her eyes, raised her hand, and took out the gun she had prepared earlier from her spatial storage.
He aimed at the man in black and pulled the trigger. Several shots rang out, and the man in black hadn't even reacted yet.
They were all shot and fell to the ground, their blood instantly staining the ground red.
Shen Qingtang looked coldly at Xiaoping and called out, "Xiaoping."
Xiaoping trembled with fright, and the evil look on his face vanished instantly.
She quickly returned to her soft, cuddly form, crying out, "Mother..."
But he couldn't hide the shock in his eyes. He never expected that Shen Qingtang would not faint and would kill the man in black!
On the other side, Lu Jiaojiao was with the Second Prince and the Pei family.
He kept muttering, "My curse will definitely come true! Those men in black must have succeeded, and Shen Qingtang and the others are about to die!"
Madam Pei echoed, her face full of anticipation: "It would be best if they died here, so they wouldn't be an eyesore to us later!"
Grandpa Su and Su Lingyu were also present, their faces full of disdain when they mentioned Shen Qingtang: "That unfilial daughter Su Lingwei deserved her retribution long ago! She had a falling out with the family back then, and now she deserves to die. She has no conscience at all!"
As they were talking, they heard gunshots from next door and rushed over to see what was happening.
As soon as I entered, I saw Shen Qingtang standing in front of the small plane.
Several corpses of men in black lay on the ground, covered in blood. Xiaoping, seeing the blood, was so frightened her legs went weak. She knelt down with a thud, crying, "Mother, I didn't mean to! They forced me! Those men in black forced me to poison the food. I couldn't disobey!"
Shen Qingtang's eyes were icy cold.
Without the slightest emotion, she walked step by step to him, her tone calm yet imposing: "You poisoned the food, didn't you?"
Shen Qingtang stood up from her seat, her tone calm but carrying an undeniable coldness: "Stop pretending, you are not my son at all."
Xiaoping's face turned pale instantly, but he immediately rushed forward to grab Shen Qingtang's clothes, his eyes red and pleading pitifully, "Mother, it's me! I'm your son Xiaoping! Why don't you recognize me? Did Brother Nian'an say something bad about me?"
As he spoke, he squeezed out a few tears.
She tried to fool everyone with her previous obedient demeanor.
"We've all taken antidotes, so your poison is useless."
Chen Mu sat up from her "fainted" state.
Looking at Xiaoping, his eyes were filled with shock and disappointment. "We've always treated you like our own grandson. How could you be so vicious as to poison us?"
Father Shen and the Shen brothers also stood up.
Staring at Xiaoping with a livid face, no one expected that this seemingly well-behaved child would harbor such deep thoughts.
