Chapter 167 What did you say? I don’t understand.
Lin Ruyu hated Yun Zhao to death at this moment!
This woman!
She knew why she was so anxious!
But he said that on purpose!
But she couldn't refute it.
Seeing this, the maid standing on the side immediately stepped forward and picked up the plate of osmanthus cakes.
"This has been out for too long and it's already cold. Let me heat it up in the kitchen." After saying that, the maid was about to leave.
But he was held down by Yun Zhao.
"What are you in such a hurry for?"
When the maid heard this, her eyes flashed fiercely.
Lin Ruyu immediately stepped forward and was about to excuse the maid when she heard Yun Zhao say indifferently, "Why? Did you do something wrong and are you afraid of being discovered?"
Yun Zhao was hinting at something, and Xie Jingmo heard it.
His gaze wandered between Yun Zhao and the maid, and finally, it fell on the pastry in front of him.
"Is there something wrong with this pastry?" Xie Jingmo said, looking at Lin Ruyu.
Lin Ruyu's attitude was abnormal from the very beginning.
Xie Jingmo's brows folded slightly in disbelief.
"How could that be? General, you're being overly suspicious." Lin Ruyu immediately walked to Xie Jingmo's side. "I made this pastry myself. I just ate one. It's totally fine."
After saying this, Xie Jingmo paused for a moment, and then set his eyes on the maid.
"Someone, take this pastry to Rong Yuan from the Imperial Hospital and have him take a look to see if there's anything wrong with it."
"yes!"
Without waiting for the maid to stop him, the servant immediately took the cakes from the maid's hand and hurried out.
Lin Ruyu pursed her lips and laughed dryly, "Why are you making such a fuss? It's just a pastry. I just ate it and there's nothing wrong with it. Besides, Doctor Yun also ate it just now. If something goes wrong, we'll both be in trouble too."
"Right? Doctor Yun?"
Yun Zhao laughed and said, "I don't know. Anyway, you made the cake and served it to me. Don't you know best if there are any problems?"
Lin Ruyu's eyes darkened and she gritted her teeth in annoyance.
But I could only smile on my face, as I was worried that something would be discovered.
She hurriedly retreated. Yun Zhao glanced at Lin Ruyu's hurried back, smiled, and looked up at Xie Jingmo.
He looked away in the next second.
Xie Jingmo just thought that this woman had come to her senses and was actually showing kindness to him, but she ended up turning against him and showing this expression again.
He frowned, and just as someone was calling outside, he left.
When walking out the door, Xie Jingmo looked back and saw Yun Zhao sitting on a recliner. A huge peach tree was blooming luxuriantly above her head. She had a faint smile on her lips, which seemed like the day he had been looking forward to.
Xie Jingmo thought about going back and resigning from the palace affairs with the emperor, and letting Yun Zhao stay in the general's mansion.
Women should not show their faces in public, otherwise their hearts will become wild.
He has a bad temper and is really hard to discipline.
This quiet look is still his good Yun Zhao.
Xie Jingmo retracted his gaze and walked out.
In the room.
Lin Ruyu was furious!
"Are you a loser?! Jing Mo wanted to come in, and you didn't stop him. Now the cakes have been sent to the palace. What do you think we should do? If Jing Mo finds out that the cakes are poisonous, not to mention being the princess, everything will be gone!"
The maid lowered her head. "I can't do anything about it. How would I know when the general would arrive? I already rushed in to warn you, but the general was so fast, there was nothing I could do."
Lin Ruyu frowned irritably and glanced out the window. "How many non-toxic cakes did you make? Why has Yun Zhao been fine after eating them for so long?"
She saw Yun Zhao eat a piece of cake with her own eyes.
Logically speaking, he should have died of the poison by now, so why is he still sitting outside?
The maid also found it incredible and even doubted herself. "I remember very clearly that I made a non-toxic cake. I don't know why Yun Zhao is still fine. Is it because... I didn't mix it evenly?"
Lin Ruyu was furious when she heard this. "You useless piece of shit! Do you know how rare this opportunity is? And you're wasting it like this?"
The maid also felt aggrieved. How did she know that Yun Zhao was so lucky that he chose the one without poison?
Lin Ruyu narrowed her eyes, "It's hard to explain to Jing Mo now."
What would Xie Jingmo think if he knew that the pastry was poisonous and she personally served it to Yun Zhao?
Lin Ruyu was upset.
suddenly.
She turned her gaze to the maid beside her.
The maid's heart trembled, "Eldest sister..."
Lin Ruyu: "Xiao Cui, I know that you are the smartest and most clever. You should know that Xie Jingmo's trust is very important to me."
The maid nodded.
Lin Ruyu: "So, in this matter, someone must come forward and admit it. You are my personal maid, and you reacted very strongly at the scene. If you say that you poisoned him, Jing Mo will not suspect anything else."
Upon hearing this, the maid looked at Lin Ruyu in shock, "Elder sister!"
Lin Ruyu: "I will give you some money, you go out and hide for a while, and when I marry into the Xie family and become a princess, I will take you back."
Upon hearing this, the maid immediately shook her head, but Lin Ruyu would never listen to her.
"Alright, that's it. I'll give you one thousand taels. Take this money and leave the capital overnight! I promise you, I'll definitely take you back in three months!"
The maid had no choice but to nod.
That night.
Lin Ruyu gave the maid one thousand taels of silver and sent her on the carriage.
The carriage rattles.
A cold wind blew across my cheeks.
Suddenly, the maid felt something cold against her lower back.
"What a beautiful lady! Someone is offering money to buy your life. Before I send you away, please make me happy first."
The night was dark and windy, and the fields were rolling.
Tears slowly rolled down the maid's eyes, and she looked towards the capital.
She never expected that her elder sister, to whom she had always been loyal, would treat her like this one day!
The next day.
Xie Jingmo came early in the morning with a gloomy face, carrying the osmanthus cake he had taken away yesterday.
Before she even entered the door, Lin Ruyu burst into tears.
When Xie Jingmo walked in, Lin Ruyu was almost fainting from crying.
Xie Jingmo: "What's wrong?"
Lin Ruyu: "Xiao Cui, my maidservant, suddenly disappeared last night! General, I suspect someone has done something untoward to her! Please help me investigate!"
"Xiao Cui and I are like sisters. She must have discovered something, so she was forced to leave."
Yun Zhao walked in with his hands behind his back, a half-smile on his face, "Really? Forced to leave? Well, maybe she really was forced to leave home. When she left, I saw that her bag was very heavy, and she had taken a lot of silver with her."
"Who, when forced to leave home, would take so much money with them?" Yun Zhao looked straight at Lin Ruyu with his cool eyes.
Lin Ruyu didn't expect that Yun Zhao would see Xiao Cui leaving.
Her eyes flashed fiercely, "What did you say? I don't understand."
