Evil Husband won't Leave

Following her, Qing Dai entered the main hall. Xia Yi was startled when she saw the guests that were going to be invited to the Old Madame Chu.

Who else could it be other than Xiao Linmu who had just told her that he was waiting for her to go back and cook?

He had been hiding this from her for so long, and yet he had caused her to worry for so long?

It really was …

And Xiao Linmu, who had been scolded a few times in his heart by Xia Yi, didn't have any expression on his face, as if he didn't know Xia Yi at all.

Regarding Xiao Linmu's identity, Xia Yi had never asked about it, but she never thought that he would actually become a VIP guest of the Old Madame Chu.

Chu Sike clenched her fist under the table. She saw that from the moment Xia Yi entered the room, her eyes had been staring straight at Xiao Linmu.

Just as she was about to cough and remind Xia Yi not to look at him, Xia Yi suddenly shifted her gaze back to look at Old Madame Chu.

"It's you. We've met before."

The Old Madame Chu said in surprise.

Chu Sike clenched her fists even more tightly. After a month, her grandmother should have remembered this village girl's face.

Furthermore, from her attitude, it seemed that she was very fond of this village girl.

This village girl must be giving off smoke from her ancestors! How could he rely on a few pieces of cake and a few dishes to get the Old Madame Chu's green eyes?

As the biological granddaughter of the Old Madame Chu, she could never be compared to the joy of the Old Madame Chu.

"Do you remember me?" The Old Madame Chu asked again.

Xia Yi laughed, "Of course I remember, Old Madame Chu likes to eat Red Bean Cake."

The Old Madame Chu sighed, "Miss, I never thought that you would be able to cook a good pastry, and that the food would be so delicious."

"Thank you for the praises, madame."

The Old Madame Chu said to Qing Dai: "Qing Dai, give the Miss Xia Yi a tip."

Receiving the heavy silver from Qing Dai, Xia Yi was elated. The day had finally passed, nothing had happened, and she had even received a reward.

"Thank you, Old Madame Chu." Xia Yi blessed the Old Madame Chu's body.

Just as he was about to leave, he was called over by Chu Sike, "Wait, you can't leave."

Xia Yi suspiciously looked at Chu Sike, only to discover that Chu Sike's current complexion was pale, her forehead had beads of sweat, and was painfully clutching her stomach.

Chu Sike's tone of voice was just too weak. Old Lady Chu naturally noticed that something was amiss with Chu Sike and immediately said, "Qingdai, go and ask for a doctor!"

"Ke, what happened to you?" Old Lady Chu asked worriedly. She knew that her granddaughter's health was never good, but looking at her now, it seemed to be quite serious.

Old Lady Chu was usually strict with Chu Sike but she only hoped that Chu Sike had the demeanor of a noble daughter. In the end, she was her granddaughter, and it would be a lie if she said she didn't feel bad.

Chu Sike raised her head, glanced at Xia Yi, and said with difficulty: "Grandmother, there might be a problem with the food."

The servant girl beside Chu Sike also quickly added: "Since morning, Miss has only eaten this kind of meal."

The master and servant duo sang the same tune, both wanting to settle the matter with Xia Yi.

What was coming had finally come.

Fortunately, Xia Yi had made some preparations in advance, and said: "The dishes have been inspected, and Chief Steward Bai is by the side during the entire cooking process. Old Madame Chu can call over some people to come and ask."

Old Madame Chu looked at the servant beside Chu Sike, and said to her: "Go and call Chief Steward Bai over."

Chief Steward Bai arrived first, on the way, he heard the servant girl's hints that something was amiss.

He was also in his fifties, so he was naturally an expert in the ways of the world.

Along the way, he didn't say much to the servant girl and only answered her questions half-heartedly.

When she arrived in front of the Old Madame Chu, the Chief Steward Bai told him everything that had happened in the kitchen, "To reply the madame, Xia Yi brought back an era where she had to be inspected. There's no problem, and when she is cooking, I was there the entire time, so there won't be any problems."

It was exactly as Xia Yi said.

Chief Steward Bai's words were meant to help Xia Yi.

Chu Sike frowned and looked at the servant.

The servant realized that her words did not have any effect on the Chief Steward Bai, so she asked: "Are you sure you can see everything from the market to the kitchen?"

The Chief Steward Bai replied honestly, "No, I can only ensure that there are no accidents in the kitchen."

The servant girl suddenly knelt down, and said while sobbing: "I hope the old lady will punish Xia Yi severely, and give young miss an explanation."

Old Madame Chu was originally worried about Chu Sike, but now that the servant was crying, she became upset and said: "Don't cry anymore, wait until the doctor comes here, we will talk about it after we find out the reason."

Xiao Linmu watched the entire time with cold eyes, as if he was an outsider, and did not say a single word.

"Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?" Old Madame Chu nervously asked Xiao Linmu.

Before they ate, Xiao Linmu had told the Old Madame Chu that he did not want anyone to know his identity.

Therefore, the Old Madame Chu did not call Xiao Linmu Prince Mu anymore.

"Nope." Xiao Linmu replied.

Old Madame Chu heaved a sigh of relief. If something were to happen to Xiao Linmu while she was here, she wouldn't be able to take responsibility.

Very quickly, the doctor arrived. After checking his pulse, he said that Chu Sike was poisoned.

"Poisoned?" The Old Madame Chu asked.

The doctor nodded his head to confirm, "Miss Chu's symptoms are indeed of poisoning. Fortunately, the amount used is not great, and is not fatal. It will only cause the stomach and intestines to spasm and cause pain for a while."

Tears welled up in Chu Sike's eyes, as if she was enduring the pain and wasn't willing to show her weak side. "Grandmother, Brother Mu, you must uphold justice for Ke … "It really hurts …"

"I plead for the old lady to seek justice for the young miss and punish Xia Yi severely." The maidservant immediately echoed.

Old Madame Chu looked at Xia Yi, her eyes full of questions.

Xia Yi's gaze was clear, without a shred of guilt, she asked: "I have no enmity with Miss Chu, why would I poison Miss Chu's food?"

"Ke, did you really not eat anything else?" Will there be any problems with the tea we've drank? " Old Madame Chu asked.

Chu Sike saw that the Old Madame Chu was shaken and immediately said, "Grandmother, she is lying to you. There has been a conflict between the two of us!"

Old Madame Chu looked at Chu Sike doubtfully.

Chu Sike then continued: "A few days ago, Xia Yi had been to the manor. Her granddaughter … Her granddaughter accidentally wet her clothes. From then on, she held a grudge against her granddaughter. "

"My granddaughter admits that my granddaughter did something wrong. My granddaughter only wanted to play a joke with Xia Yi, but she didn't expect her to poison me because of this."

Chu Sike's tears that were initially in her eyes started to fall down.

It was a pitiful look.

If Xia Yi was not involved, she might have been deceived by Chu Sike's superb acting.

Other than Xia Yi and Xiao Linmu, everyone else was shocked. They never thought that there would actually be a grudge between Xia Yi and the two of them.

Then, the matter of Xia Yi poisoning Chu Sike could indeed be explained rationally.
