Chapter 203 Love Brain
With a bang, the bowl fell to the ground and shattered. Everyone except Chen Xing was stunned.
The little girl was even more frightened and burst into tears.
Pei Jingchuan and Xu Qingyan both became alert at the same time. They looked at each other and immediately understood what was going on.
They looked at Chen Xing, who looked at the crying girl with a serious face and asked sternly, "Who gave you this water? Who asked you to bring it to the young master to drink?"
The little girl was frightened and just kept crying loudly, not answering Chen Xing's question at all.
Chen Xing frowned, stretched out his hand and pulled the little girl in front of him, and continued to scold: "Don't cry! Tell me... who told you to do this?"
"Wow....I....I don't know." The little girl was frightened and said fearfully while crying.
At this time, Xu Qingyan stepped forward and pulled the little girl in front of her, looked at Chen Xing and asked, "Miss Chen, is there any problem in the water?"
In fact, she and Pei Jingchuan had already guessed it in their hearts, but they were still curious about what Chen Xing would say. After all, her relationship with Pei Jingyuan was not ordinary.
Chen Xing was very conflicted. Although the Ice Nightmare Gu was colorless and odorless when dropped into tea, it was hers after all. Even if she couldn't see it, she could smell something that others couldn't. She was naturally sensitive to Gu insects, especially the ones she tamed. When she saw the little girl carrying the water, she had already smelled that there was her Ice Nightmare Gu in the water!
Didn't Pei Jingyuan say he would take it back to deal with his mother's enemies? How did this Ice Nightmare Gu appear here? Did Pei Jingyuan lie to her, or did someone else have the same Ice Nightmare Gu as her?
In fact, she knew that the possibility was very small. The Ice Nightmare Gu was invented by herself, and no one else in the world would have it. She had never used this insect before, and even Li Feng had never seen this Ice Nightmare Gu. It was just successfully cultivated two months ago.
"This... there is poison in the water. I can smell it." After hesitating for a moment, Chen Xing said with a frown.
She did not say that this was her own poisonous insect, and in the end she was covered up by Pei Jingyuan.
Xu Qingyan's eyes flashed with disappointment, and then she said, "Who wants to harm the young master? Little girl, where did you get this water from?"
She looked at the little girl whose face was already tearful. The little girl was innocent and cute, and didn't seem like a bad person. She had no grudges against Pei Jingchuan. Moreover, Xu Qingyan felt that this little girl was probably being used and deceived by someone.
Sure enough, when the little girl heard Chen Xing say that the water was poisonous, she was shocked. Her originally clear eyes were now wide open in fear.
"It's not me, I... I didn't mean to poison it. This... This was given to me by a sister. She said that the adults have given so much for the people of Yuzhou and are tired and hard-working. She said that the weather is so hot and the adults are still working there without water to drink, so she gave me a bowl of water and asked me to bring it to the adults. Woo woo... I really didn't know there was poison in it!" After saying that, the little girl started to cry again.
She was only six years old this year. Her family environment had always been good, her parents were loving, and she had never seen the ugliness of human nature. She knew that these days, thanks to Pei Jingchuan, a high-ranking official from the court, their family could have enough to eat, and she was very grateful to him. Therefore, after a kind-looking sister told her that, she did not doubt it at all and came over with the bowl enthusiastically.
"She was used by someone!" Xu Qingyan guessed it instantly after hearing what the little girl said.
As for who was using her, she and Pei Jingchuan knew it clearly. Similarly, Chen Xing could also guess it. So, neither of them continued to question the little girl.
"Miss Chen, thank you so much this time! Otherwise, my husband would be in danger." Although Xu Qingyan knew that the Ice Nightmare Gu was given to Pei Jingyuan by Chen Xing, she still thanked Chen Xing.
She and Pei Jingchuan had never thought that Chen Xing would actually stop them. After all, they had thought that Chen Xing liked Pei Jingyuan, and that he might do the same to them later. But they had never expected that at the critical moment, Chen Xing would come out and destroy the Ice Nightmare Gu himself. It seemed that Chen Xing was not such a bad person after all.
At this moment, Chen Xing's heart was extremely uneasy. She was angry and confused about Pei Jingyuan's deception, which made her absent-minded when she was distributing porridge later.
Xu Qingyan and Pei Jingchuan both saw through the situation but did not say anything. They understood that there might be a rift between Pei Jingyuan and Chen Xing.
Xu Qingyan thought secretly in her heart: [In the book, Chen Xing is a love-brained person, and Pei Jingyuan, as the male protagonist, is particularly good at speaking and eloquent. I wonder what reason Pei Jingyuan will come up with to continue to lie to her this time. Since Chen Xing fell in love with Pei Jingyuan according to the development of the book, then their relationship will not end so soon. Chen Xing is a person who is emotionally rebellious. The more you say that the other person is not good, the more persistent she is. Between her and Pei Jingyuan, she can only give some timely reminders, so that she can see Pei Jingyuan step by step and gradually become disappointed in him. Otherwise, with her superb poison, becoming an enemy would be enough for her husband to eat a pot. After all, it is easy to dodge an open spear but difficult to guard against an arrow from the dark. If Chen Xing had not had some conscience just now, her husband would probably have suffered a great sin! Although they now have the big boss Xuan Shenyi around them, who can save their husbands, they will definitely suffer. ]
Pei Jingchuan frowned when he heard Xu Qingyan's voice. It seemed that he had to add fuel to the fire and make Chen Xing disappointed in Pei Jingyuan as soon as possible. Pei Jingyuan always had various opportunities. If he really succeeded, he couldn't imagine what would happen to the people around him because of Pei Jingyuan.
On the other side, Pei Jingyuan also saw Chen Xing destroy the Ice Nightmare Gu. He was extremely annoyed and punched the table angrily, thinking: Why? It was about to succeed, why did Chen Xing suddenly appear and destroy it!
"Are you angry that I ruined your plan?" At this moment, Chen Xing's cold voice came from behind Pei Jingyuan.
Pei Jingyuan turned around and saw Chen Xing pushing open the door and standing at the door with a cold expression and a hint of disappointment in his eyes.
Pei Jingyuan's heart suddenly panicked, and he said awkwardly: "Xing'er, what are you talking about?"
"Don't you intend to explain? Why did the Ice Nightmare Gu that I gave you appear in the water that I gave to the young master? He is your biological brother, why do you always want to kill him?" Chen Xing sneered, walked in from the door, sat down and looked at Pei Jingyuan coldly.
She wanted to know how this man would explain and why he lied to her.
At this moment, Pei Jingyuan was feeling irritated and angry, but when he saw Chen Xing's expression, he suppressed his emotions and said coldly, "Since you already have a guess in your heart, what's the use of my explanation? You are getting along well with them now, so you probably won't trust me."
