Princess Agent: The Sweet Country Girl's Way to Glory - Chapter 469
Chapter 469 Deny Guilt
The servants all shook their heads.
There was doubt in her heart. Su Wanwan could not eat any of the dishes this time.
Su Wanwan, who was from her own courtyard, wanted to interrogate him first. However, no one had asked him what to ask. On the contrary, she went to the kitchen when she was hungry and planned to cook. She found the powder of the rat medicine in a basket. Thinking of the things sent by many villagers today to apologize, she asked, “Who sent it?”
The servants all shook their heads. “There are a lot of people who sent things here today. The villagers left after giving them away. We don’t even know each other …”
The housekeeper ran in from outside. He held a piece of paper in his hand and spread it out to Su Wanwan. Su Wanwan saw that there were three sweet potatoes from Auntie Liu, five wild fruits from Lady Shitou, and a basket of wild berries from Lady Marubeni … Su Wanwan knew that it was the list of things sent by the villagers today.
The housekeeper looked through the list and found that the sweet potatoes were stained with some mouse medicine. “This is from Auntie Liu,” he said.
Logically speaking, Auntie Liu had been torn apart by Su Wanwan in public. She had stolen such valuable things as shoes and golden thread and destroyed Auntie Liu’s kind and kind face that she had worked hard for many years. It was also very likely that Auntie Liu harbored a grudge in her heart.
However, it was too much to give her a mouse medicine! Su Wanwan squatted down and used bamboo chips to scrape off the mouse medicine on the sweet potato. She discovered that the mouse medicine was actually a concentrated mouse medicine!
That soup didn’t contain much rat medicine, so that she wouldn’t die, but it also damaged her internal organs, and it was more likely that the child in her stomach would die!
Su Wanwan’s expression sank as she pondered what to do. Her small hand suddenly wrapped around Qi Chengfeng’s big hand. Qi Chengfeng opened his thin red lips and said, “Why are there so many unruly people here? If this mute person eats like this, how can we stay in the future? Someone, call the village chief!”
When the village chief was invited over, he guessed that it wasn’t a good thing and asked, “What happened?”
Before she could finish her sentence, even Auntie Liu, her neighbor, came over. However, Auntie Liu did not ask about the accident. She only asked, “Is the sweet potato I sent delicious? It’s from Huang Xin, it’s delicious!”
“We haven’t eaten yet.” Su Wanwan smiled and said, “Why don’t I give it to you? After all, we haven’t moved since many people sent us food today. It will be enough for us to eat for a long time.”
“What are you saying! I gave it away, and now I don’t intend to take it back.” Auntie Liu chuckled. Her face was full of kindness. She sniffed gently and smelled the rich fragrance in the courtyard. “You haven’t eaten yet, have you? Then this old woman won’t join the fun. I’ll go home and make some food for my baby.”
She spoke calmly, as if nothing had anything to do with her! Su Wanwan frowned and said, “Stop! Today’s matter has something to do with you. Don’t leave.”
Why is it still related! Auntie Liu felt that it was definitely not a good thing, but she was also a little scared at the moment. She did not leave and said, “What did you say?”
The butler said, “I suddenly found traces of the rat medicine in a basket. The rat medicine is still on the sweet potatoes. You planted it, didn’t you?”
Naturally, the rat medicine was given to the rat! She didn’t dare to give it to anyone! Auntie Liu’s face immediately turned deathly pale from fear. “I didn’t put down any rat medicine! I don’t dare!”
After saying that, his face turned red. “I did that a few days ago, and I was too guilty. How could I drug you now? Isn’t this asking for your own death? Furthermore, the thought of killing people is extremely frightening. How can I sleep in the middle of the night! I don’t dare!”
“…”
Su Wanwan fell silent when she saw the oath on her face. She didn’t know the evidence and could only suspect it. The more Auntie Liu said it, the angrier she got. She rushed in and took out three sweet potatoes that she had run over and put them in her arms. She said angrily, “Since you look down on me, I’ll take them. I don’t need to say that I poisoned you with the rat medicine!”
The village chief said, “Madam Qi, Auntie Liu has the idea of reforming herself. This must be just a misunderstanding.”
Auntie Liu coldly snorted and turned around to leave. Su Wanwan thought for a moment and said, “Auntie Liu, wait a moment. I just misunderstood. Now that the food is ready, you can leave after eating.”
Auntie Liu was very angry, but when she smelled the meat, she was very greedy and said, “Alright then!”
Su Wanwan rolled her eyes at the servant, and the servant immediately led Auntie Liu over to eat. Su Wanwan invited the village chief again, and the village chief followed suit.
Su Wanwan and Qi Chengfeng did not move their chopsticks when Auntie Liu picked up the meat and vegetables and ate them with a flushed face.
The village chief coughed and scolded in a low voice, “Eat slowly. Don’t lose our village’s reputation in front of big families!”
Auntie Liu was embarrassed. She looked at Su Wanwan and Qi Chengfeng and said with a flat mouth, “It was on their treat. Just eat. Why bother doing so much?”
The village chief was helpless and ate the food.
Twelve dishes were placed on the table. Su Wanwan took out the chili, garlic, ginger, and other spices planted in her space. After the complicated processes of stir-frying, steaming, frying, and frying, the dishes were delicious. Auntie Liu stood with her rice chopsticks and extended them to eleven dishes, not to the last egg soup.
Su Wanwan said, “Auntie Liu, eat it. This egg soup is very good.”
Auntie Liu shook her head and said, “Eggs are not as expensive as meat! I want to eat meat!”
Seeing that she was so vulgar and disdainful of the village chief, her face turned a little red. She looked at Su Wanwan and Qi Chengfeng and said, “Don’t mind, two of you. The village woman in the countryside has never seen such a world before.”
“It doesn’t matter. The important thing is to eat happily.” As Su Wanwan spoke, Tong Qi Chengfeng gave her a look. Doubts flashed in their eyes for a moment.
After all, both of them knew that the dish had been drugged with rats!
After thinking for a while, Su Wanwan took a spoon and put the egg soup into a bowl. Then, the egg soup emitted hot air, revealing the stewed fish jelly. Su Wanwan said, “This fish is very fresh. I specially boiled the soup and added pork to make it freeze. Then I took Su Jingdou to cool it. It’s fresh and beautiful. It’s a top-grade beauty product.”
Su Wanwan was spinning nonsense as she stared at Auntie Liu. Her eyes lit up and then dimmed down.
Auntie Liu is definitely suspicious! Su Wanwan looked at the maidservant who had given her the vegetables and said, “Auntie Liu is embarrassed. Give her a spoonful.”
“Yes.” The servant picked up a spoonful of translucent fish jelly and sent it over. However, Auntie Liu removed her bowl and said with a panicked expression, “I won’t eat it!”
The nearby village chief spoke in a round tone and handed the bowl over, saying, “I’ll eat. You put it in my bowl.”
“How can this work! You can’t eat it!” Su Wanwan sneered. She looked at Auntie Liu and questioned, “This is the only dish that has been drugged with mouse medicine, and you never took it! You even avoided it, don’t you admit it?”
