Chapter 437: Chapter 351: Yet Now She Harbors the Vicious Idea of Killing Her Husband—How Can He Still Turn a Blind Eye?!

Instead, her eyes were brimming with tears, and she was weaker than usual, completely lacking her usual "mother tigress" demeanor.

This made Qin Fu pause, and his brow furrowed intensely.

Relying on a shred of conscience, he softened his tone, "I’ve already sent someone to investigate. On such a grand day, the guests haven’t even left yet, why are you crying like this?"

Mrs. Qin wiped her tears and sobbed, "You’re right, even though I’m the lady of Qin Mansion, I shouldn’t lose my composure during such times."

"Husband, have some tea first. Shen’er is not here today, and this cup of filial tea hasn’t been served to you; I will offer it to you in his place. At least we cannot break the rules."

Seeing her reasoning, Qin Fu’s temper calmed considerably.

This tea, according to custom, must be drunk.

Thus, he did not want to embarrass Mrs. Qin and accepted the cup.

However, as he was about to drink, the door to the side room suddenly burst open, with two servants at the door rushing in frantically to stop them, "Young lady! You can’t barge in!"

Before they could react, Ruan Mian was already inside the room, halting Qin Fu.

"Sir, that tea cannot be drunk!"

Mrs. Qin’s face changed drastically, while Qin Fu looked at her with confusion.

Ruan Mian quickly stepped forward and knocked the cup from his hand.

The sound of the porcelain cup shattering echoed, and Ruan Mian spoke solemnly before Mrs. Qin could curse angrily.

"Sir, do you know what’s in this tea?"

"What nonsense are you spouting! Someone! Take her away!"

Mrs. Qin was furious, shouting loudly outside.

Soon, several matrons and guards rushed in, but Qin Fu stopped them with a single glance.

He focused his gaze, signaling Ruan Mian to continue, "Does Miss Ruan know what’s in this tea?"

Ruan Mian curled her lips and spoke mercilessly.

"This tea is soaked with poison powder. If you drink it, what do you think will happen?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Fu’s expression was instantly filled with anger. He stared at Mrs. Qin with eyes full of rage, as if he wished to tear her apart.

Mrs. Qin, however, laughed coldly, becoming somewhat calmer, "Husband, would you rather trust an outsider like her? We’ve been married for so many years and have a son like Shen’er. Why would I harm you?"

"If you die, everything I have now will be gone! Why would I bring trouble to myself?!"

"It’s her!" Mrs. Qin angrily pointed at Ruan Mian, her teeth gritted.

"She’s just a woman. How capable can she be as you think? Who knows who might be behind her, trying to use her hand to harm you! Husband, you must not believe her. I am your wife; even if I’m capricious, I wouldn’t gamble with my future."

Her words did make some sense to Qin Fu.

And he had no reason to believe, based solely on Ruan Mian’s words, that the tea really contained a harmful poison.

Ruan Mian’s expression remained unchanged, and she didn’t say much. She simply and decisively took the cup from Qin Fu and poured it into a nearby potted plant. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

The moment the tea touched the soil, foam erupted, accompanied by a sizzling sound.

In an instant, within no time, the branches visibly spread a layer of black, and the bark peeled off slightly. The once vibrant green leaves wilted at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Qin Fu was taken aback; he had never seen such potent poison, which could kill a living potted plant in such a short time. If this poison were ingested by someone, the consequences would be unimaginable!

"Although I am not your wife, I would not harm you for no reason. Do you remember, it was you who allowed me to stay in the mansion and transact with me, not my wish. So, whether or not I have someone behind me, feel free to investigate."

"Conversely, the mistress towards you may have ulterior motives. The reason I know the tea is poisoned is because a few days ago, when I was still staying in the mansion, I saw a matron sneaking around near my quarters. Upon inquiry, I realized she was the lady’s servant."

"Though I did not know why the mistress sent someone to spy on me, I acted for my safety, and my brother secretly followed to find out.

It was during that tracking that we discovered the mistress was in Thunder God Temple acquiring these poisons from the Abbot and witnessed the servant pouring them into the tea."

"Nonsense! Husband, don’t listen to her nonsense! My maids haven’t even been to the small kitchen; how could they have poisoned it? As for personally witnessing it, you’re talking nonsense, you..."
