Chapter 693 - 693: Feed Zhang Family the Truth Elixir
Chapter 693: Chapter 693: Feed Zhang Family the Truth Elixir
And so, today’s plan was set.
Seeing the Qiao sisters, Zhaodi and Yindi, packing their belongings to move out, she asked the Zhang Family to help. While aiding them, during a moment of their unawareness, she hid a silver hairpin under their pillow, then framed them for theft.
As the saying goes, to strike a dog, one must know its master. Qiao Xiaomai is their master. She wanted to provoke the sisters to test Xiaomai’s temper.
But she never imagined that Tong Sanlang would have a Truth Elixir!
The Truth Elixir is considered a divine object in Anping Village. When Qiao Chang’an refused to admit to the accusations made by Qiao Changkang, Ma Dongshu introduced this divine object.
After which, the matter was quickly resolved.
With this divine object now in play, how would the situation end today?
What should she do?
Watching the unease on Zhu Hongyun’s face, Xiaomai sneered and strode forward.
Upon noticing this, Zhu Hongyun quickly retreated behind Zhang Family’s members, a panic look on her face, “What are you trying to do?!”
“You sold me out last time, and I haven’t forgotten that. You think it’s all in the past just because you’re pregnant now?” Xiaomai approached her with a chilling smile, “Tell me, did you set this up today?!”
“What nonsense are you talking about! I don’t know anything!”
Zhu Hongyun, seeing Xiaomai closing in, urgently tugged on the sleeve of the Zhang Family’s matriarch, “Mother, look at her! She beats me, a pregnant woman, for disobedience of her own maids!”
Upon hearing her words, the matriarch hummed, taking a step forward to block Xiaomai, “What are you trying to do?!”
It’s just a Truth Elixir, what’s the big deal?
The sisters aren’t thieves, and after taking the elixir, they will still affirm they weren’t.
But the hairpin was found under the sisters’ pillow, which even they admitted to. With this, she insisted that the sisters had stolen it – what could Xiaomai do?
What could Xiaomai do!
With Tong Sanlang watching, Xiaomai wouldn’t dare to lay a finger on her!
Staring at the raised chin of the matriarch, Xiaomai suddenly thrust out her right hand, seizing the old woman’s jaw and forcing her mouth open. Her left hand then struck her.
Of course, she was holding a Truth Elixir in her left hand.
Saying she wouldn’t dare to strike at Zhang Family?
Hmph.
Hahaha.
Back then, when she fought with her stepmother and her deadbeat dad tried to intervene, she pushed him away in her anger as well.
If she could push her own father, then Zhang Family was nothing to her.
She had already shown her kindness to Zhang Family. That 1,600 taels was to buy off Tong Sanlang!
Zhang Family never imagined that Xiaomai would take action.
Tong Sanlang hadn’t expected Xiaomai to take action either.
By the time he realized, Xiaomai had already fed the Truth Elixir to Zhang.
He was startled and immediately pulled Xiaomai aside, holding her arm tightly. The look of shock and unease was evident on his handsome face, “Xiaomai, you! How could you?!”
“What did I do?” Xiaomai looked up at him expressionlessly, taking in his shock and disbelief, and laughed without humor.
“Did I hit your mother? Did I curse at her? All I did was to feed her a Truth Elixir. Which rule of the Daqi Laws did I violate?”
“When your mother was bedridden last month and I was too busy with other things to attend to her, she was eager to catch the thief who stole her hairpin. I just fed her a pill to help her cool down. What did I do wrong?”
