Chapter 652 - 657: Pride Ultimately Brings Disaster
"William, do you... not trust me?"
What a pair of innocent big eyes!
Ran Xiangsi couldn’t bear to refuse!
However, as Xing Chen said, that is also her child!
No one can hurt her child!
Upon hearing this, Xing Chen turned to look at Rebecca.
This seemed to be the first time since Rebecca entered the hall that Xing Chen looked at her.
Useless things, Xing Chen would never waste time on them.
"Trust? Musk, in your country, shouldn’t exist, right? How did you think of using it? Or rather, who taught you to use it?"
Xing Chen never easily trusts anyone.
In some cases, he doesn’t even trust himself, let alone a negligible woman like Rebecca?
"I... heard about it by chance..." Rebecca’s gaze was a bit evasive.
She had indeed heard about it by chance.
This time, it was due to her arrogance, wanting to use something familiar to Ran Xiangsi’s country to deal with her, so... she chose musk.
This substance was too likely to be discovered; she originally planned to secretly give Ran Xiangsi an injection directly, something quick-acting and unknown!
But in the end, it was arrogance that caused the disaster...
By coincidence, just as Rebecca finished speaking, someone from the kitchen brought some soup over.
The kitchen probably didn’t know the situation in the living room, only heard that the Young Madam was back, and the soup was just ready, so they hurriedly brought it out.
At a glance, so many people in the living room...
The servant holding the soup hesitated, unsure whether to bring it over, when they heard the lady’s voice.
"What is this?"
The servant quickly replied, "Madam, this is the tonic soup specially ordered by Miss Rebecca for the Young Madam."
"Tonic soup?" Ran Xiangsi frowned, looking at the bowl of somewhat thick substance.
"Yes, Miss Rebecca said the Young Madam might not be accustomed to our food here, so she specially ordered ingredients from A City to make this tonic soup for the Young Madam..."
Upon hearing the servant’s words, the first to be happy was Xingtian.
"Rebecca, you’re thoughtful. You care so much for Xiangsi, very considerate!" He seemed to completely trust Rebecca, even turning to look at Xiahou Xiu Yun, "The earlier musk was just a misunderstanding, you..."
Originally wanting Xiahou Xiu Yun to reconsider, but before he could finish, Xiahou Xiu Yun directly handed the medicine bowl to the ancient physician, "Since it’s tonic soup, check what ingredients are in it."
The ancient physician smelled it, stirred the contents with a spoon, and his brow furrowed.
"There’s saffron in here? And a small amount of alum... if this is for the Young Madam, it would be extremely harmful!"
The ancient physician’s exclamation once again drew everyone’s attention.
Saffron and alum... these things eaten together, even a healthy person would be greatly harmed, not to mention Xiangsi who is pregnant!
Xiahou Xiu Yun had long suspected the soup had problems. She directly took the bowl from the ancient physician’s hand and smacked it at Rebecca’s feet!
With a loud crash, the crisp sound of the bowl breaking instantly filled the spacious room.
"You even used these? Fortunately, I discovered it early; otherwise, my grandson would have been secretly harmed by you!"
It was clear that Xiahou Xiu Yun was truly angry this time!
From the beginning, she disliked Rebecca, because she saw hidden malice in Rebecca’s eyes!
