Chapter 67: Hush money, not a penny less
"Zhiyi, haven't you packed yet?"
It was getting dark, Xu Qinghe stood at the door of Pei Zhiyi's room and knocked, "It's time for dinner. If you go out to eat, I'll ask the driver to take your luggage to your place."
This was not even an order to leave, it was almost like driving someone away openly.
Pei Zhiyi, who had planned not to leave, had an ugly look on her face.
She really didn't expect that now she would not only become a transparent person in the family, but would also be driven out directly.
Pei Zhiyi's heart was in turmoil, but her face soon changed to a miserable and pitiful look.
"Mom, can't I stay at home for one night?"
She blinked and tears fell down her eyelashes with a click. "I know I was wrong. I just want to stay for one more night, just one night."
After she finished speaking, she didn't say anything else. She just sniffed and cried hard.
Xu Qinghe was the softest-hearted one. After hearing Pei Zhiyi cry twice, she began to soften again.
"Then, just one night."
After a while, Xu Qinghe relented, raised a finger reluctantly, but turned her head to the other side, "You will leave tomorrow."
"I know."
Pei Zhiyi said this, but he secretly had a bad idea in his heart.
The next morning, Pei Zhiyi started to wander around after washing up.
When she passed by the kitchen, she caught a glimpse of Di Yale putting the soaked peach gum into the pot, and an idea came to her mind at that moment.
It takes time to cook peach gum, so Pei Zhiyi went upstairs calmly to change into sportswear, and went out under the guise of a morning run. When she came back, she had a small packet of coconut milk hidden in her pocket.
Most of the peach gum at home is cooked and eaten with milk. Add a small packet of coconut milk, and it doesn't look like there is any problem on the surface.
And in the Pei family, only she and Xu Qinghe are allergic to coconut milk.
As long as she eats the peach gum with coconut milk first, and then stops Xu Qinghe before she eats it, it would be equivalent to saving her life.
Xu Qinghe was soft-hearted, and Pei Zhensheng had always been devoted to Xu Qinghe. With this trick, she could successfully stay in the Pei family.
Who knows, I might be able to get rid of that annoying Di Yale at the same time.
As for how to win the favor of Pei Zhensheng and Xu Qinghe again, that will be a matter for later.
After cooking, Di Yale put the pot and the food in the refrigerator to chill, and then left the kitchen.
After she left, Pei Zhiyi saw that there was no one around, so he walked to the refrigerator and quickly opened the coconut milk and poured it all in.
The cow's milk and coconut milk were mixed together and could not be distinguished at all.
Pei Zhiyi was still worried, so he stirred it with chopsticks, then covered it with a lid and left the kitchen.
Half an hour later, everyone sat at the dining table to eat.
Pei Zhiyi quickly served himself a bowl before Xu Qinghe took any action. The smell of the chilled coconut milk was very light, and you couldn't smell it at all unless you got close and smelled it carefully.
She hurriedly put a spoonful into her mouth, and swallowed it without even having time to carefully distinguish the taste.
The coconut milk peach gum slid down her esophagus. Pei Zhiyi almost immediately felt some difficulty breathing, not knowing whether it was an illusion.
At this time, Xu Qinghe was already holding a spoon and preparing to scoop up the coconut milk peach gum.
Her chance had come.
Pei Zhiyi covered her neck with one hand, and directly knocked over the bowl in Xu Qinghe's hand with the other hand.
Her face quickly turned red, and her breathing became more and more rapid.
"Mom, there is coconut milk in the peach, peach gum," Pei Zhiyi stared at Xu Qinghe while speaking, and her eye circles quickly turned red because of difficulty breathing, "Mom...don't, don't drink..."
After saying the last sentence, Pei Zhiyi closed her eyes and did not speak again, just covering her neck and gasping in pain.
Everyone at the table was terrified.
No one had ever seen such a scene.
Ever since the Pei family confirmed that Pei Zhiyi was allergic to coconut milk, there has been no trace of coconut milk in the house.
"Zhiyi, Zhiyi?"
Xu Qinghe checked Pei Zhiyi's condition in a panic. Her emotions seemed to be affected and her voice was a little choked. "Call an ambulance! Quick!"
The servants rushed over to deal with the aftermath, and Uncle Zhou called for an ambulance. Pei Zhiyi was carried by Pei Zhensheng to the outside of the villa area.
Only Pei Zhiwan and Di Yale were still sitting there without moving.
Pei Zhiwan was reviewing in his mind what Pei Zhiyi was going to do, while Di Yale was already terrified.
"Sister Zhi, Zhiwan, will she be in trouble?"
The little girl's eyes were red, she pulled Pei Zhiwan's sleeve and asked, "I didn't add coconut milk. I just added milk, I didn't mean to hurt anyone."
She was not stupid, she realized at that time that Pei Zhiyi might have deliberately framed her.
She had witnessed many such things in the Di family before, and those who were framed rarely managed to turn the tables. In most cases, they would soon be cleared out of the core power of the Di family.
Some were lucky, but just a little poor. But there were many others, and news of their death on the streets would spread almost that month.
She was very scared.
Pei Zhiwan came back to her senses quickly.
She turned her head to look at Di Yale, who was anxious and scared, and almost about to cry, and patted her shoulder to try to soothe her emotions.
"Don't worry, this matter is not your fault," she said gently, and stood up and led people to the other side, "Come with me to the kitchen first to see if there are any clues."
The little girl's attention was quickly diverted, and she followed Pei Zhiwan to the kitchen with tearful eyes.
In the kitchen, a group of servants were still busy cleaning up.
Just when one of the servants was about to take the garbage bag full of garbage out of the trash can and throw it away, Pei Zhiwan suddenly noticed something.
A box of coconut milk.
She called the servant, walked over and took the coconut milk box out of the garbage bag, pinched the clean corner and looked at it carefully.
It was found that the production date was yesterday.
This brand of coconut milk should be sold in the convenience store in the villa area. According to the convenience store's restocking frequency, this box of coconut milk should have been received today.
This person, or Pei Zhiyi, should have bought it this morning.
"Uncle Zhou, did Pei Zhiyi go out this morning?"
Pei Zhiwan thought for a moment, turned his head and looked at the housekeeper beside him, "No matter what the excuse is, it counts."
"She went out once, saying it was morning exercise."
Uncle Zhou thought for a moment, and then answered immediately.
That's easy to prove.
Di Yale stayed at home all day and didn't go out. Only Pei Zhiyi went out. It can be explained by just adjusting the surveillance at the door of the house.
[It is detected that the host intends to expose the heroine. This behavior will cause the plot line to deviate or even collapse, which is not conducive to correcting the plot line. Please consider it carefully. ]
[Please consider it carefully. ]
Pei Zhiwan was depressed.
If she can't expose it, can't fight the fake, then why did she come here to suffer?
