Guan Yaoer thought it was true, and she was so scared that she immediately helped Shu Jiaying up.
"Don't talk for now. I'll take you back to your room to rest. I think you must be exhausted these past few days."
When they passed by Aunt Zhao, Shu Jiaying stopped in her tracks. She said weakly to Aunt Zhao, "I'm sorry, Aunt Zhao. I failed you this time. I'll eat the rice porridge you cooked next time."
Aunt Zhao gave Shu Jiaying a strange look.
"You were fine just now, why do you have a stomachache all of a sudden? Forget it, go back to your room and have a good rest. I'll ask a maid to come and take care of Xiaohua. As for you... let me watch over you, okay?"
"No need, Aunt Zhao. Xiaohua is already used to your care. If someone else comes, she won't be able to adapt. I have the boss watching over me. I'm fine.
Boss Guan, we are leaving."
"Um!"
Guan Yaoer helped Shu Jiaying leave Xiaohua's yard.
When they reached an empty corner, Shu Jiaying suddenly stopped and looked at Guan Yaoer with a serious face.
"Boss Guan, I think the mixed rice porridge that Aunt Zhao gave us just now must be poisonous."
"What!"
Hearing Shu Jiaying say this, Guan Yaoer opened her eyes wide in disbelief.
"I'm telling the truth."
Reaching out her hand, Shu Jiaying placed a small handful of mixed rice porridge that she had secretly grabbed in front of Guan Yaoer.
"This porridge contains a plant called oleander, but the amount used is very small. Boss Guan, you run a clinic, so you should know the effects of oleander on the human body, right?"
"Oleander is a plant that is poisonous throughout. Even a small amount can be fatal if accidentally ingested."
"That's right, but the other party is very smart. The amount of oleander she put in is very small. Although this amount is not enough to kill people, it will definitely cause people to feel anxious and palpitating. Long-term use may even lead to heart failure..."
Guan Yaoer thought about how when she arrived at Xiaohua's yard, she happened to see Aunt Zhao feeding Xiaohua mixed rice porridge, which contained oleander...
Without thinking, Guan Yaoer rushed back to Xiaohua's yard in a panic.
Shu Jiaying quickly stopped her.
"What are you doing?"
"I'm going to save Xiaohua. Didn't you tell me that this mixed rice porridge is poisonous? If Xiaohua eats the poisonous porridge for a long time, her heart will definitely fail. Xiaohua is still so young, I really don't want her to die like this, wuwuwu..."
Seeing Guan Yao'er so sad, Shu Jiaying finally felt a little comforted. She thought that this should be the best time for Guan Yao'er and Xiaohua to recognize each other. She deliberately said, "It's useless for us to rush over now. Besides, we have no evidence to prove whether Aunt Zhao has been feeding Xiaohua food containing oleander. What if the wind outside blew oleander pollen into the pot when she was cooking porridge?"
"I don't care about what happens next. Xiaohua is my daughter, and I won't let anyone hurt her again."
"What?"
Shu Jiaying pretended to be shocked and looked at Guan Yaoer.
Guan Yaoer quickly wiped away the tears from her eyes. She said, "Princess Chen, when you revealed Xiaohua's background to me, I think you had already guessed my relationship with her. Although I know Xiaohua is my daughter, I have never had the courage to acknowledge her. I am a very failed mother."
