Chapter 4

The milky white juice secreted by oleander was dripped into the water, and it was poisoned by ingestion.

As soon as she returned to Chu's house, someone actually wanted her to die, but she had asked Uncle Liang, and Nanny Zhang was obviously the one who served Chu Qingze.

As for Chu Qingze, he was the least likely to want her to die in the Chu family, otherwise, it would be impossible to take her back to the Chu residence against his conscience.

The smell of the food burst into the nostrils, Chu Yunyao swallowed, and touched her empty stomach.

There was a rustling sound beside the cabinet.

Chu Yunyao saw several mice coming out of the holes in the corner of the wall.

This temporary storage room turned into a wing room has always been a long-term residence for rats.

Chu Yunyao poked some rice with chopsticks and spilled it on the ground.

The mouse ate with relish and was safe and sound.

Chu Yunyao threw some cucumbers and shredded pork over there.

The mouse ate more happily, but before it finished eating, it fell to the ground and twitched, and soon couldn't move.

There is poison in the dish.

Chu Yunyao pushed the vegetable bowl aside, ate some miscellaneous grains and rice to replenish her strength, and then lay down on the bed again, recharging her energy.

Who wants her to die?

Si family? In order to put an end to the friendship between the Chu family and the Mo family.

Chu family? Block the interests of some people.

Mohists? I don't want to marry a stupid and ugly monster and be treated as a laughing stock.

Chu Yunyao closed her eyes and meditated until night fell and when everything was quiet, she opened her eyes again.

She found a handkerchief to cover her face and opened the window.

A white shadow rushed in like lightning, crossed Chu Yunyao's shoulder, and went straight to the corner of the wall.

With the help of the bright moonlight, Chu Yunyao finally saw clearly that it was a snow-white imperial cat, with golden and silver pupils shining like jewels in the darkness, which was eerie and frightening.

This kind of cat is generally docile, but this cat doesn't know what's going on, it looks extremely ferocious.

Especially when it was biting a dead mouse, there were low growls from its throat. It bent its body and stared at Chu Yunyao vigilantly, as if it might pounce on it at any time.

Chu Yunyao was not interested in fighting with an animal, so she jumped on a stool, flew out of the window, and landed lightly on the ground, hiding in the darkness. With her keen sense of smell, she quickly found the kitchen.

The cook's snoring while lying in the haystack was loud, the charcoal fire in the stove was still extinguished, black chicken soup was simmering in the earthen pot, and the soup was filled with velvet antler, wolfberry and red dates, and the aroma was overflowing.

Unlike the 22nd century ingredients that added too many hormones and genetically modified feeds, although many things in this era do not taste very good, the ingredients are natural, fresh, green and healthy.

Chu Yunyao was originally a foodie, so she salivated greedily.

She picked up the rag from the stove, held the crock in her hand, and quietly left the kitchen.

Finding a secluded corner, Chu Yunyao ate big chunks.

After eating and drinking, Chu Yunyao patted her swollen stomach and hiccupped back to the room.

The dead mouse in the corner was bitten to pieces, and its body was mutilated.

The rest of the food in the bowl was also eaten clean.

The white cat is missing.

Chu Yunyao covered her with the quilt and fell asleep soundly.

In the early morning of the next day, Chu Yunyao was awakened by a commotion, and just as she lifted the quilt to get up, the door of the wing room was kicked open.

Chu Yunqian was wearing a small pink dress, her long black hair was carefully curled and hung down on her shoulders.

With proper makeup and delicate facial features, but her face was full of anger, she pressed straight in front of Chu Yunyao, and without any explanation, she raised her hand and was about to slap Chu Yunyao...
