"ah!"
Xue Zhiyi and Rong Ziying screamed and ran away, overturning a plate of pastries in their panic.
The cakes fell to the ground, and this mad dog, who had bitten people to death for a piece of cake in his previous life, no longer cared about the ball and hurriedly devoured the cakes on the ground.
Zhao Lian looked at him, not only without any apology, but also sneered, "I didn't expect that the snacks prepared by Third Sister-in-law would suit this beast's taste so well. I wonder if you could give me some so I can take it back to feed Wuyun?"
These words were full of humiliation, and Xue Hanshu was so frightened that she couldn't utter a word in reply.
But at this moment, the dark clouds suddenly spasmed.
Zhao Lian then became nervous and quickly squatted next to Wuyun: "Wuyun!"
But the dark cloud's condition did not improve. It lay on the ground, its limbs twitching, and it lost all its previous majesty.
Zhao Lian was anxious and shouted angrily, "What are you standing there for? Call a doctor!"
The frightened maid gave the order and ran out quickly.
"Xue Hanshu, what kind of dirty stuff did you feed Wuyun? How could this happen out of the blue!" Holding Wuyun, Zhao Lian was so anxious that she screamed at the top of her lungs, not remembering at all that she had just let the dog attack someone.
Rong Ziying was also frightened: "I almost ate it just now..."
"Could it be that someone poisoned me?" Fu Rongxin suddenly said.
Several people looked at her, only to see her holding her chest, as if frightened.
Xue Hanshu had just eaten some pastries. When she heard this, her face suddenly turned pale and she couldn't help vomiting.
The dark cloud's condition took a turn for the worse. It whimpered in pain and died.
"Dark Cloud!" Zhao Lian immediately cried out, angrily cursing Xue Hanshu: "Xue Hanshu! How dare you poison my dark cloud! Pay with your life!"
Xue Hanshu was busy inducing vomiting, so how could she have the time to deal with her unreasonable behavior?
But Xue Zhiyi said, "It shouldn't be poison."
She glanced at Wuyun, who was lying on the ground twitching, and said, "This snack smells sweet. It seems that a lot of grape juice was added to it. If a dog eats grapes, it will be poisoned."
After saying that, she looked at Fu Rongxin and said, "Judging from Wuyun's reaction, if the cakes Rongxin and Shu'er ate were poisonous, they would have already taken effect."
After hearing this, Xue Hanshu stopped vomiting.
Xue Zhiyi suddenly smiled: "Rong Xin guessed that the cakes were poisonous, but you ate them anyway, and you weren't afraid of being poisoned at all."
Everyone then realized: it was not a common knowledge that dogs could not eat grapes, so it was normal for Fu Rongxin to suspect that someone had poisoned the grapes. But the abnormal thing was that Fu Rongxin acted too calmly, so calm that he seemed certain that the cakes Wuyun had eaten were poisonous, and he was also certain that the plate in front of him was not poisonous.
Just then, the doctor arrived.
The doctor examined Wuyun and confirmed that he was dead and there was no need to save him.
As Xue Zhiyi guessed, the leftover residue was not poisonous. It died because it ate a large amount of snacks made from grape juice.
"Xue Hanshu!" Zhao Lian, whose beloved dog had died, was furious. She wished it was Xue Hanshu who died. "You knew I had a dog, yet you still used grape juice to make snacks. What were you thinking?"
She raised her hand and was about to fight Xue Hanshu to death, but at this moment, Zhao Shen who came hurriedly stopped her: "Stop it!"
Zhao Lian felt increasingly aggrieved, and her dissatisfaction with Xue Hanshu erupted at this moment: "Third brother! She's just a slave's daughter, lame, and she went to great lengths to marry you. She's brought shame upon our family and isn't worthy of bearing the Zhao family's bloodline! Now she's even killed my Wuyun. I wish she'd pay for Wuyun's life!"
"Shut up!" Zhao Shen and Xue Hanshu did dislike each other, but at this moment he could not allow Zhao Lian to embarrass herself in front of outsiders.
He ordered his servants: "Take Miss Fifth back to her room to reflect on her mistakes, and then quickly dispose of this damned dog."
Ignoring Zhao Lian's cries, the servants took her away, and the vicious dog was also wrapped in a cloth and dragged away.
Xue Hanshu just sat there with a pale face, letting the tears flow down numbly.
Her eyes were empty and her whole body was wrapped in humiliation, making her afraid to face the sympathetic or disgusted looks from those around her.
Zhao Shen was completely humiliated by what happened today. He tried to maintain his composure and said to the others, "My fifth sister was so reckless today and frightened you all. I'm sorry."
Xue Zhiyi simply said, "We are not injured, but Master Zhao, please ask a doctor to see Shu'er to make sure she doesn't have a miscarriage."
"It's natural."
After saying that, Zhao Shen extended his hand to Xue Hanshu with an expressionless face: "Let's go, madam."
Xue Hanshu lowered her brows and didn't look at him again. She just numbly put her hand on his and limped away with him supporting her.
Although Fu Rongxin was angry for failing to achieve his goal, at least he was not implicated this time, so he suppressed his anger for the time being.
But Rong Ziying was a little dazed.
Because she clearly saw that among the broken porcelain pieces on the dessert plate, there was a piece with traces of lip balm on it...
Just now, only Xue Zhiyi had lip balm on his hands, which means that the plate of non-toxic snacks that Wuyun ate belonged to Xue Zhiyi.
Xue Zhiyi's snacks are non-toxic, and so are Fu Rongxin and Xue Hanshu's... What about her dish?
At this moment, there was still a plate of snacks on the small table.
"Cousin Rong?"
Xue Zhiyi called her, and Rong Ziying came to her senses: "...What's wrong?"
Xue Zhiyi smiled and said, "It's getting late. We have to go home."
Rong Ziying nodded belatedly, but after Fu Rongxin and Xue Zhiyi left, she quietly wrapped a piece of dessert on the table with a handkerchief.
