‘Um… I am truly smart. Since Xiao Qing loves money so much, she will definitely think that I am a good wife.”

Originally, Qin Xiaoyue should be thrilled as Gu Yiyi wanted to eat the spirit herb. However, when she heard Gu Yiyi’s words, color drained from her face. Her panic-stricken eyes were fixed at Wen Yu.

‘This is totally different from what Sister-in-Law has told me. She is supposed to tell everyone that the thing in the box is poison. Why is she urging Gu Yiyi to eat it? If Gu Yiyi dies, the same would go to the Luo family.”

“Are you alright?” Luo Fei frowned. He had finally noticed that there was something wrong with Qin Xiaoyue.

“No… nothing…” Qin Xiaoyue shook her head, her lips were quivering.

It was not too late for Qin Xiaoyue to tell everyone the truth now so that Luo Fei would not lose his life. However, if she did so, everyone would know that she was the one who had changed the spirit herb and wanted to kill Gu Yiyi. She would lose her life!

‘Luo Fei, I am sorry… I have no choice. It’s all Wen Yu’s fault! She has left me in the dark. I have never thought that she would lie to me.’

Feng Ruqing could feel there was something wrong with the Thousand-Odds Ginseng Fruit since the very beginning.

There was a hint of violet traces on the right of the Thousand-Odds Ginseng Fruit. The violet traces were too pale and one could hardly notice it at a glance.

Suddenly, something flashed through Feng Ruqing’s mind. Just as Gu Yiyi wanted to bite into the Thousand-Odds Ginseng Fruit, Feng Ruqing’s face changed. She quickly rushed over and slapped Gu Yiyi’s hands. The spirit herb fell to the ground, its glistening flesh scattered all over the place.

Dumbfounded, everyone looked at Feng Ruqing in bewilderment.

“Xiao Qing?” Staring at Feng Ruqing’s cold face, Gu Yiyi too was startled.

‘What happened…? Why is Xiao Qing so mad?’

Qin Xiaoyue subconsciously heaved a sigh of relief. However, she could not reconcile herself to the fact that Feng Ruqing was the one who had stopped Gu Yiyi.

“It seems that someone felt that her gift is too lousy and does not want others to give Young Lady Gu a precious gift.” The corner of Qin Xiaoyue’s lips curved into a sneer.

Luo Fei too was dissatisfied with Feng Ruqing’s reaction. Hence, he did not stop Qin Xiaoyue. He merely furrowed his brows together as he looked at Feng Ruqing.

“Young Lady Xiao Qing, you are…” Stunned, Gu Shi did not know what Feng Ruqing was doing.

“Is there any physician in the chief manor?” Feng Ruqing was still calm and composed.

“He is in the middle of something and not in the chief manor now. Why are you looking for him?”

“Get him back to the chief manor now. He will know what has happened once he is here.”

Calmly, Feng Ruqing’s gaze swept past Luo Fei and was fixed on Qin Xiaoyue for a while before landing on Gu Shi.

‘Will this lady find it out?’ Qin Xiaoyue’s face darkened.

‘Well, what could she do even if she really finds it out? The spirit herb has been broken into pieces. Even if the physician is here, he will not be able to find anything.’ Thinking of this, Qin Xiaoyu loosened up a little and let out a long breath.

Seeing Feng Ruqing’s solemn face, Gu Shi did not, not even in the slightest bit, relax. He signaled his subordinate to leave. A few people read his signal and left.

In the crowd, Wen Yu and Qin Li exchanged glances, their eyes filled with panic. Wen Yu clenched her teeth and carefully took a few steps back.

Qin Chen was watching both Wen Yu and Qin Li since the beginning. Once he noticed their movements, he whispered in Feng Ruqing’s ear.
