Chapter 23
Mu Qianqian suddenly felt dizzy and when she came to her senses, she had already fallen to the ground.
Her throat felt like it was blocked by a huge rock, her stomach was churning, and smelly vomit kept pouring out of her mouth.
Mu Qianqian tried hard to open her eyes, but everything in front of her was blurry.
Fortunately, she was still conscious, and she clearly heard Mu Qingxuan announce to everyone: "Qianqian has been poisoned."
Mu Qianqian was shocked. How is this possible? !
She clearly only ate shredded potatoes that were not cooked with nitrite, so how could she be poisoned?
Old Mrs. Huo was so frightened by the sudden situation that she covered her chest and almost choked on her breath.
Her face turned pale as she watched Mu Qianqian, who had always been in her arms, foaming at the mouth with her last breath, and she had forgotten that nitrite had just been found on her body.
I felt a pang of heartache.
Mrs. Huo quickly called out to Aunt Wang: "Call an ambulance!"
"It's too late." Mu Qingxuan's face was as calm as water. She quickly sealed several of Mu Qianqian's heart meridians to help her stabilize her pulse.
"Auntie Wang, please go to my room and help me take down the silver needle." Mu Qingxuan added, "It's in the drawer of the table."
Although Aunt Wang had never liked Mu Qianqian, she couldn't help but panic when she saw this matter involving human life. She nodded subconsciously and ran upstairs quickly.
In less than half a minute, she came down with the silver needle.
Mu Qingxuan laid Mu Qianqian's body flat on the ground, rolled up her sleeves, and quickly inserted the needle with steady and skillful movements.
Beads of sweat trickled down her forehead.
Mu Qingxuan pursed her lips tightly, and after giving the acupuncture, she used special techniques to press the acupoints on Mu Qianqian's abdomen.
Mu Qianqian's eyes suddenly widened and her pupils shrank slightly.
It was unknown what acupoint Mu Qingxuan had pressed. Mu Qianqian was in so much pain that she wanted to roll over on the spot. However, her body had long been out of control due to the poisoning, and she could only lie there stiffly like a stone.
Let the sharp pain run wild in the body.
A hint of viciousness flashed in Mu Qianqian's eyes.
Mu Qingxuan must have done it on purpose!
How could treatment be so painful?!
Mu Qianqian was so angry that her teeth were itching.
Suddenly, a stronger urge to vomit swept from the abdomen and instantly rushed to the throat.
Mu Qingxuan quickly supported Mu Qianqian and turned her body to the side so that she could vomit smoothly.
"Vomit——"
Mu Qianqian vomited for a long time.
The fishy smell spread in the air, mercilessly attacking everyone's nose.
Old Mrs. Huo rolled her eyes because of the smoke. Cui Lirong's expression was not good either. She covered her mouth and retched a few times.
Even Huo Jianye, who usually kept his emotions to himself, couldn't help but frown and cover his nose with his hand.
Mu Qianqian vomited out the culprit that was causing trouble in her stomach, and immediately felt much more refreshed, even her head was no longer so dizzy.
She was panting and looking very miserable.
At this moment, Wang Ma suddenly pointed at the vomit on the ground and said in surprise: "Qianqian, you only ate that plate of shredded potatoes!"
Everyone tried hard to suppress their nausea and looked at the mess on the ground.
Cui Lirong pondered, "We didn't eat the shredded potatoes just now, so we weren't poisoned. So, the only dish that was poisoned by nitrite was the shredded potatoes?"
Mu Qingxuan reached out and pulled out the silver needle from Mu Qianqian's body. Her brows were slightly furrowed, and her small face was full of confusion and puzzlement.
She hesitated and said, "When I first started cooking, I used salt from the salt shaker. But then, my hands were shaking and I accidentally knocked over the salt shaker, spilling most of the salt."
"At this time, Qianqian suddenly ran in and said that if my grandmother knew that I wasted salt, she would definitely scold me. It happened that she had salt, so she took the initiative to take out the salt and help me fill the salt jar. The salt I used to stir-fry the shredded potatoes later was all from the salt jar."
Mu Qingxuan's eyes were clear, like a naive little deer in the woods, innocent and sympathetic, making people subconsciously believe what she said.
Cui Lirong's expression suddenly turned serious, and she concluded, "So, the nitrite in the jar was indeed brought by Mu Qianqian."
Huo Jianye's face was not looking good either. He looked at Mu Qianqian with a dark gaze: "I need a reason."
Huo Jianye, who has been immersed in a high position for many years, has an invisible pressure on him.
He doesn't get angry easily, but once he gets angry, it's not something someone like Mu Qianqian can bear.
Mu Qianqian's face turned pale, she had no idea what was going on.
According to her plan, the other dishes should be poisonous.
She tried to argue, "Sister, how can you put the blame on me? I went to help you pour salt, but the salt I poured was good salt. Even if you hate me, you can't confuse right and wrong."
Mu Qingxuan shook her head in disappointment: "Qianqian, I didn't expect that you still don't admit it now."
From Mu Qianqian's perspective, she could just see the mockery and sarcasm hidden in Mu Qingxuan's eyes.
The little flame in her heart was instantly ignited, and she blurted out, "If I really poisoned it, why did I only eat the poisoned shredded potatoes and let myself be poisoned? Shouldn't the poison be added to other dishes?"
"This is your real purpose."
Cui Lirong interrupted coldly, her icy eyes were like sharp blades, shooting straight at Mu Qianqian, as if they could shoot several holes in her body.
The momentum and pressure in his eyes made Mu Qianqian shudder.
After hearing this, Cui Lirong finally understood.
Mu Qianqian's original intention should have been to put nitrite into the jars, so that when Mu Qingxuan cooked, all the dishes would be poisonous.
Therefore, just now at the dinner table, Mu Qianqian only ate the shredded potatoes which she thought were the safest.
I don’t know what accident happened during the meal, but it turned out that the other dishes were not poisonous, but the shredded potatoes were mixed with nitrite.
Mu Qianqian was poisoned and fell to the ground.
Mother Wang also frowned and added: "When Qingxuan went back to her room to get the herbs, Qianqian went straight into the kitchen. Was it at that time that she secretly put the nitrite into the jar?"
Mu Qingxuan said: "No wonder the salt jar was in a different position after I returned to the kitchen. The lid was also very tight and I couldn't open it for a while, so I had to use another jar of salt."
This also explains why the other dishes were not poisonous, because Mu Qingxuan did not use the tampered salt in the can at all!
Cui Lirong stared at Mu Qianqian coldly, with a mocking smile on her lips, as if to say:
You reap what you sow!
Mu Qianqian was completely stunned, her eyes were full of panic and disbelief, her face was as pale as paper, as if all the energy had been drained out of her.
She shook her hands in embarrassment: "It's not me, I didn't do it, it must be Mu Qingxuan who framed me!"
"Qianqian you——"
Mu Qingxuan puffed her cheeks, seeming to be very angry.
She stood up swiftly, not wanting to hold Mu Qianqian's body anymore.
But the moment Mu Qingxuan let go, an accident happened again.
