“I just had some snacks at my elder brother’s place and I’m not hungry. Grandfather, don’t you love red bean pastries the most? Please have some more.”
Chuan Yi concealed his panic, forced himself to remain calm, and pretended to be relaxed.
[Huh? Didn't they just come back from the lap of luxury with that mistress? Let me see... wow, they're really going at it. Sexy lingerie, a little whip, hohoho, it's too hot to look at. All sorts of weird and wonderful positions, wow wow wow, what a sultry scene! Why are they torturing my eyes, who's still a budding flower?]
No, wasn't it supposed to be about poisoning? What's with that excited and agitated tone of yours?
Upon hearing Chuanwen's thoughts, Marquis Changxing was stunned. His anger vanished at that moment. He looked up and saw Chuanrui's family of four eating melons in the front row. What was going on with their bright, sparkling eyes?
Hmm? No, wait, a mistress?
Outer room!
Chuan Hai's eyes widened like saucers. How could Yi'er, such an honest child, possibly have a mistress and be so promiscuous!
The Marquis of Changxing and his wife were also surprised. Was this still the same handsome, humble, and polite young man in their family who would blush for half a day if he accidentally touched a maid's hand?
Bah! What a load of rubbish about being handsome, humble, and polite. He's not even a human being. If he had any conscience at all, would he poison his own grandfather?
Marquis Changxing's anger surged again, his gaze became menacing, and his tone hardened, "I'll let you eat."
"I...I...I'm really not hungry, Grandfather, please eat..."
Chuan Yi was already stammering, but before he could finish, Marquis Changxing sneered, "Are you not hungry, or are you afraid to eat? After all, it's poisonous."
[Yes, it's poisonous... Hmm? Poisonous! How did Marquis Changxing know that the unfortunate child had poisoned him??]
Marquis Changxing chuckled: Good granddaughter, it's all thanks to you.
Could it be...?
Chuanrui: Could it be...?
Xu Yan: Could it be...?
Chuanwu: Could it be...?
Marquis Changxing also pricked up his ears: Could it be?
[Could it be that the Marquis of Changxing was also a transmigrator? Did he know the entire plot?!]
Ahem, Marquis of Changxing: It really isn't.
Chuan Hai, who had just overheard Chuan Wen's thoughts, thought: Transmigration into a book? Plot? What the heck?
Chuanrui, Xu Yan, Chuanwu, and Lady Changxing silently shook their heads in their hearts: It doesn't seem like it. We still think it's your achievement.
Marquis Changxing ignored the probing gaze that Chuanwen had shifted from Chuanyi, his tiger-like eyes fixed on Chuanyi, who was so flustered that his legs were trembling.
Upon hearing that it was poisoned, all the maids and servants serving in the living room were shocked! Except for the pretty maidservant beside the Lady of Changxing, who looked down at her feet to hide her panic.
"Grandfather, I know I was wrong, Grandfather, I was momentarily blinded by greed..." Chuanyi knelt down with a thud.
Snap!
The sound of slamming the table startled everyone in the room, and Chuanyi, who was anxious to explain, trembled and dared not utter another word.
"A moment of madness and you're willing to poison your grandfather!" Lady Changxing was furious, breathing heavily. "Tell me, what has he ever done to wrong you! At his advanced age, he still swallowed his pride to find you the best tutor, and before you were even grown up, he was already scheming to find you a future, hoping you would become successful and accomplished! And this is how you repay him!"
Lady Changxing was so angry that she pounded her chest. Thinking about all the care and concern she had shown her grandson over the years, she felt that all her sincerity had been wasted.
"Poisoned?" Chuan Yi was stunned. "I...I didn't. I just gave them some laxatives. I just wanted my grandparents to be sick for a couple of days so that no one would be watching my studies all the time."
His hateful gaze swept over Chuanwen and the other three people in the front row who were watching the drama unfold. Although he didn't say anything, Chuanwen's inner thoughts spoke for him.
[They can also conveniently frame the four of us for being unlucky. When the four of us aren't here, the elderly couple, the Marquis of Changxing, are perfectly healthy. But as soon as we arrive, they start having diarrhea. Aren't they guests?]
The Marquis of Changxing and his wife were stunned. But wasn't the message supposed to be poison? How come it's a laxative again?
Chuanwu also thought to himself, "Little sister, are you even up to the task?"
Chuanhai glanced at his youngest son, then at his own father, and couldn't help but grin. He'd thought to himself, "I knew it! Yi'er's only fifteen, how dare he poison his grandfather, a nobleman of the court!" So it wasn't poison...
[It's just a pity that this innocent child was used without even realizing it... If Lady Changxing hadn't been lucky enough to escape the clutches of the poison, it wouldn't have been just Lady Changxing who died.]
While Chuanwen was enjoying the gossip at the scene, she was also distracted, flipping through the plot pages, completely unaware that six people in the living room were already listening intently to her thoughts.
[The concubine, knowing that she couldn't be the legitimate wife of the Marquis's son due to her status, gave...]
Chuanwen's gaze fell on Chuanyi, who was trembling with fear, and he continued, "This treacherous fool has set a trap. She tricked him into believing it was laxatives, but it was actually arsenic, which poisoned the Marquis of Changxing and his wife. Now she has a huge handle on this treacherous fool, and he'll have no choice but to marry her as his principal wife!"
[This mistress's move is truly brilliant, killing three birds with one stone. It eliminates the two elderly people, Marquis Changxing and his wife, allowing Chuanhai to inherit the title smoothly. It also allows her to blackmail Chuanhai into marrying Chuanyi. After that, she can slowly plot to become the Marquis's wife. Furthermore, without the protection of Marquis Changxing and his wife, our family of four can naturally go back to where we came from, let alone compete with them for the Marquis Changxing's title.]
The article is so full of praise for this mistress, it's like they're giving her a huge thumbs up! [Amazing, amazing, I'm truly impressed!]
Chuanrui and Xu Yan were stunned. They hadn't even stepped into the gates of the Marquis's mansion yet, and they had been tricked without their knowledge. It was too terrible. Maybe they should go back to farming. How could anyone do this?
