Chapter 425
Yao Duoduo was taken aback, and her gaze subconsciously moved upwards, only to see that Yun Xi was also looking at her.
His eyes were icy cold.
Yao Duoduo shuddered.
Yunxi put down the medicine bowl and said with a smile, "As you said, this medicine is indeed a good thing. However, I am pregnant now, so I have to be very careful about what I put in my mouth. I'm afraid I am not worthy of such a good thing. Why don't you drink it yourself, Third Miss?"
Yao Duoduo's face stiffened: "You...you're afraid I'll poison you?"
“I never said that,” Yunxi said with a smile, placing the medicine bowl beside her. “But since it’s a good thing, it doesn’t matter who drinks it, right?”
"Third Sister went to great lengths to brew this bowl of medicine; I simply can't bear to see it go to waste—"
Yunxi's voice trailed off slightly, and her eyes became meaningful, sending a chill down Yao Duoduo's spine.
Just as she was about to leave, a voice rang out softly, "Le'an, please have the Third Miss drink her medicine."
Even though Yao Duoduo made a move first, Le An was faster and grabbed her. Ji Xiang also came to help.
One of them held Yao Duoduo down, while the other turned around and picked up the soup bowl, seemingly about to force-feed her.
Yao Duoduo's eyes widened in horror: "Yunxi, how dare you! My father is out there! If you do anything to me, he will definitely not let you off! And my aunt, she will definitely not let you off either!"
Upon hearing this, Le'an stopped what she was doing and subconsciously looked at Yunxi.
Yunxi asked in confusion, "Didn't Third Miss herself just say that this is a bowl of tonic? If it's a good thing, your father would be so eager to thank me that he wouldn't let me off the hook."
As soon as she finished speaking, Le'an had no more reservations. She grabbed her chin with one hand and poured the entire bowl of dark medicine down her throat.
Le'an wasn't reckless in her treatment; rather, she was very considerate, managing to get the bowl of medicine down without wasting much.
Jixiang then released Le'an and returned to Yunxi's side.
Yao Duoduo coughed so violently that it shook the heavens and earth, and she even put her hand in her mouth, seemingly trying to pry the medicine out!
The sight caused all of them, including the master and servants, to frown, and Le'an's face was contorted in disgust.
"Le'an, quickly send the Third Miss back!"
Jixiang stepped forward and blocked Yunxi's way. Only then did Le'an belatedly realize what was happening, and she grabbed Yao Duoduo and left.
As Yao Duoduo walked, she kept scratching her throat, looking extremely ferocious, which almost made Jixiang vomit.
After Yao Duoduo left, Jixiang took a while to recover: "Auntie, what kind of medicine did the Third Miss bring?"
Yunxi shook her head: "I don't know, but I'm afraid we'll find out soon enough."
Just as she expected, Yao Duoduo called the doctor in shortly after returning home.
Le'an went to eavesdrop and didn't return until much later.
"Auntie, you'll never guess what kind of medicine the Third Miss had in that bowl!"
Before Yunxi could react, Jixiang couldn't help but ask, "What is it?"
"It's an abortifacient!"
As soon as Le'an finished speaking, Jixiang almost popped her eyes out: "Abortion pills? She just brought them over herself?!"
Shouldn't this medicine be delivered indirectly? Why did Yao Duoduo bring it herself? Is she afraid others won't know that she did it?
Yunxi was also shocked that Yao Duoduo had such audacity as to brazenly bring her the medicine.
But then I thought about it again. Yao Duoduo had spoken so confidently that even Jixiang was almost fooled.
