Chapter 73: Yunzhu Poisoned

“Mother, what’s wrong?”

“Zhu’er, are you sure you used that thing on Yunzhi?” Xu looked at her daughter with suspicion, because when she bowed just now, she saw a fleeting flicker of strange color on her daughter’s face.

Although it was quick, she was sure she wasn’t mistaken. After all, the thing came from her, and she knew exactly what kind of reaction there would be after using it.

Logically, if the thing was used on Yunzhi, Yunzhi should be the one reacting. But she just saw her daughter showing signs of poisoning.

Yunzhu was startled by Xu’s words, but she said, “Mother, what are you talking about? I don’t understand.”

“Zhu’er!” Xu looked at her daughter sternly, saying, “This is not the time to play smart. You are my daughter, you can’t fool me. Now, tell me honestly, how did you poison her? Don’t miss any details, understand?”

“Mother, me?” Yunzhu was a little scared seeing her mother so stern.

“Tell me quickly.” Xu looked anxious, her heart was a little panicked. She hoped she was wrong, but how could she be wrong when she used this thing to harm so many people?

“Mother, you’re scolding your daughter. You say you love me, but now I just gave Yunzhi a little poison, and you’re going to scold me. In the end, you don’t really love me, you love Yunzhi, right?”

“Zhu’er, this is not the time to be angry, Mother doesn’t love her, Mother is worried that you were tricked.” Seeing her daughter like this, Xu could only suppress her temper and patiently explained.

“Mother, what do you mean by that?” Yunzhu looked confused. She thought that if her mother didn’t care about Yunzhi, why would she be angry with her.

“Silly girl, I suspect that Yunzhi never actually got poisoned, it’s you who got poisoned.”

“Impossible!” Yunzhu didn’t believe it. She personally poisoned Yunzhi, how could it be her who was poisoned? If she was poisoned, how could she have no reaction at all.

This thought just passed, and she didn’t know if it was an illusion. She felt like she was a little uncomfortable.

No, no.

Yunzhu comforted herself while looking up at Xu, saying, “I personally gave it to her, she didn’t even notice.”

“Zhu’er, Yunzhi is always cunning, I’m afraid you’ve been taken advantage of.”

“How is that possible? How could she know I poisoned her?” Yunzhu still didn’t believe it.

Seeing her daughter like this, Xu knew it was useless to say more. So, she directly instructed the head maid beside her to go and invite the doctor.

Although Yun Cheng was only a fifth-rank official, he had a doctor in his mansion. It was a dowry that Xu brought from the Xu family in Jiangnan, and his medical skills were good.

Soon, the mansion doctor was brought over.

“Doctor Ye, please take a look at Zhu’er, see if she’s been poisoned.”

“Yes, Madam.” The mansion doctor nodded, stepped forward and took Yunzhu’s pulse. As soon as he felt her pulse, the mansion doctor’s face changed.

Therefore, he looked up at Xu and said truthfully, “Madam, Miss has been poisoned by Beauty’s Sorrow.”

“As expected!” When Xu heard the mansion doctor’s words, she almost couldn’t sit still. Before, she used this to harm others, and she didn’t think much of it, only that those people deserved it. Who told them to compete with her for men.

But now, her daughter was actually poisoned by this, and it was her own daughter who poisoned her. Xu’s heart ached so much.

She was both regretful and hateful. She regretted not giving that thing to her daughter. She hated Yunzhi for being cunning, she didn’t know how she managed to poison Yunzhu.
