1214 Killing Two Birds With One Stone

After a moment of silence, Qiao Xi glanced at He Wenyin with a sympathetic and amused expression. If this young lady knew that she had no taste buds and could drink anything like it was water, would she explode in anger?

Qiao Xi picked up the cup and finished the bitter ginseng drink in one gulp. She turned the cup upside down and gestured to He Wenyin. She had already finished it. She showed no expression from beginning to end.

Such a calm appearance stunned He Wenyin. She was stunned for a long time before hurriedly picking up Qiao Xi's glass to take a look. She then looked at the floor to confirm that Qiao Xi had really drunk the contents of the glass. Then, she asked with a shocked expression, You drank it all. You didn't show a reaction at all?

She had been mischievous since primary school. She liked to think about teasing people the most. She was the one who concocted this bitter ginseng powder. She had drunk a mouthful of it, and her entire body was trembling. However, this woman actually finished an entire glass without any reaction.

Qiao Xi calmly glanced at He Wenyin and said casually, Only a little girl like you will find it bitter. I'm already a mature woman.

He Wenyin's expression froze. Who are you calling a little girl?!

She approached Qiao Xi and suddenly smelled something. She did not notice that Mrs. Gu actually smelled strongly of medicine.

He Wenyin was the second daughter of the He family. She usually interacted with many socialites and noblewomen. Those women smelled of expensive perfume, but this Mrs. Gu looked and dressed exquisitely. She even smelled of medicine.

Was she sick? But it didn't look like it!

After thinking about it, there was only one possibility. Mrs. Gu was a doctor and often used medicine, so her body carried a faint medicinal fragrance. Ordinary people would not be able to smell it, and only people who practiced medicine all year round would notice it.

He Wenyin stuck her head out and sniffed Qiao Xi's side. The smell on her body was very similar to her master, Mr. Liao.

Mr. Liao was an elder of the Medical Association and had taken her in as his disciple a few years ago. She had been hiding this from the He family. Mrs. Gu smelled of medicine, and it was similar to the smell on her master's body. Could she also be Mr. Liao's disciple?

Mrs. Gu drank an entire glass of bitter ginseng but did not show any reaction. It seemed that her medical skills were above hers. She might have become a disciple earlier than her. In other words, had she offended her senior?

Miss He, I've already drunk it. Remember what you just said. Qiao Xi raised her eyebrows and looked at her.

He Wenyin gritted her teeth. You're also Master's

Before she could finish, He Wenxian's angry voice came from behind. He Wenyin!

He Wenyin quickly turned around and saw that her sister's eyes were filled with anger. She rushed over and snatched the glass from her hand. When she realized that the glass of water was empty, she frowned.

He Wenyin, what did you give Mrs. Gu to drink?

As soon as she said this, the surrounding temperature dropped a few degrees. Gu Zheng's entire body emitted a biting coldness. Before He Wenyin could react, a few bodyguards rushed over and restrained her.

This scene stunned Qiao Xi. She raised her eyes and looked at Gu Zheng. Before she could speak, He Wenxian's angry voice sounded in her ear. Wenyin, what did I tell you just now? I told you not to anger Mrs. Gu and to respect her, but what did you do? You actually poisoned Mrs. Gu with the medicine you developed!

He Wenxian looked really angry, and her body was trembling. She could not help but glance at Qiao Xi. She did not expect her plan to be completed so smoothly. Moreover, all of this was done by He Wenyin and had nothing to do with her.

When the time came, in order to give Gu Zheng an explanation, the He family would definitely hand He Wenyin over to Gu Zheng to deal with. Not only would they get rid of Mrs. Gu, but they would also chase He Wenyin out of the family. This was a plan to kill two birds with one stone.

He Wenyin's background was unknown, but she had been the second daughter of the He family for so many years. He Wenxian had already endured it for so long. Now, she could finally chase He Wenyin out. And that b*tch, Qiao Xi, was clearly a wild girl. She actually married Gu Zheng for no reason. She must have used some despicable methods.

He Wenxian knew very well that there were naturally many women around a man like Gu Zheng, but she did not care. Those women were all passersby and could not marry Gu Zheng. However, Qiao Xi was actually sitting in the position she had dreamed of.

She would not allow it!

Coincidentally, she seized this opportunity to use He Wenyin to poison Qiao Xi. As long as Qiao Xi was disfigured, Gu Zheng would hate her and abandon her. She did not have to bear any responsibility for getting rid of two annoying people.
