Chapter 1984 - 158: Giving You Evidence
Dong Huiying instructed in this manner.
The servants exchanged glances until an old cook stepped forward from the crowd.
"I am willing to serve the young lady!"
The old cook clasped his hands towards Dong Huiying and leaped forward with a swift step.
Upon seeing this, Lin Huang’s minds eased slightly, and they were no longer worried.
It seemed they were certain that even a search would reveal no evidence.
Indeed, the old cook searched the two sequentially, yet found nothing suspicious aside from some small bottles and jars of seasoning.
This caused the other people’s expressions to change.
What did this mean? Could it truly be that Dong Huiying had wronged them?
...
The old cook who searched Lin Huang was a woman over fifty.
Dong Huiying respectfully called her "madam."
She said, "Could you please bring the red bottle and the small black bottle over, madam?"
The old cook was puzzled.
She recognized these two items.
Those serving by Old Lady Qin’s side more or less have some unique skills, perhaps their special talents.
And in the red and black bottles, the contents were concocted by the old cook.
The old cook hesitated for a moment. "May I ask, young lady? Is there something wrong with the contents of these bottles?"
The others exchanged glances.
The contents of these two bottles, one enhances freshness, and the other enhances flavor.
They are added to daily meals.
Even Old Lady Qin once praised them highly, saying the cooks’ dishes were more flavorful than before.
Dong Huiying chuckled lightly and accepted the bottles handed over by the old cook. She opened the wooden stoppers, brought them close to her nose, and sniffed—just as she had suspected.
"The contents are indeed good, but unfortunately, someone has tampered with them."
The two bottles contained powders that are harmless when used separately, but when combined, they cause chronic poisoning like what happened to the old lady and the two children.
There was life in the kitchen.
Dong Huiying grabbed a field frog, opened its mouth, and poured the contents of the two bottles into its stomach.
Human resistance is far beyond these tiny creatures, and their metabolism is much faster than these little guys.
"You wanted me to provide evidence, and today I’ll give you evidence."
Most of the contents of the bottles were used by Dong Huiying.
Then, she patiently waited, counting in her mind—ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one...
Precisely after counting to ten.
The frog that was lively moments ago suddenly emitted a sharp cry. It leapt around, constantly hitting the ground with its head. Blood spurted from its eyes, ears, mouth, and nose, and the color of the blood was close to black, carrying an ominous glow.
Being exposed so straightforwardly, Lin Huang’s faces turned particularly ugly.
In the end, Lin was cleverer, denying it categorically.
"How could this be? It has nothing to do with us!"
This matter absolutely cannot be admitted, for if denied, Dong Huiying might consider the bad impact and potentially spare their lives.
But once admitted, then... the consequences would undoubtedly be fatal!
Forget Dong Huiying, even just those loyal servants and guards under Old Lady Qin would be enough to tear Lin Huang apart alive!
