After being exiled with her husband and children, she returned with great power to rule the world

Chapter 38 The food is poisonous

Chu Yinyin was wolfing down the food in the bowl without any image. She looked so hungry as if she had not eaten for many days. While eating, she glared at Chu Lingfeng and Murong Linger with resentment.

Wang and Chuchu were originally about to pick up their bowls to eat, but when they heard the noise over here, they both turned their heads to look over.

At this moment, Murong Ling'er picked up the food calmly and smelled it gently. In an instant, her eyes became deep.

"Dream fragrance has been added to the food, but the dosage is not large." Murong Ling'er said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Chu Yinyin panicked and quickly spat out the food in her mouth. Then, she looked at Murong Ling'er with resentment and shouted, "Why didn't you tell us earlier? You clearly discovered that there was something wrong with the food a long time ago, so why didn't you tell everyone earlier? I ended up eating a lot of it. What if something really happened? What are you thinking?"

Chu Yinyin became more and more angry as she spoke, her chest heaving violently, and her eyes seemed to be spewing fire.

"Chu Yinyin, why are you blaming Miss Murong? Who told you to eat so fast?" Chu Chu frowned, put on a stern face and scolded Chu Yinyin harshly.

"That's right, Yinyin, you are so impulsive. How could you randomly suspect Miss Murong? People gave you a kind reminder, and you were not grateful, but you were so aggressive." Wang couldn't help but speak, her face full of dissatisfaction and blame.

Chu Yinyin was completely stunned by Murong Linger's nonchalant gaze.

Her eyes moved back and forth between Murong Ling'er and Chu Chu, and she didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Unexpectedly, Murong Ling'er picked up the food and started eating as if nothing had happened. Her calm appearance made Chu Yinyin even more angry and anxious.

"You..." Chu Yinyin's eyes widened in surprise, and she couldn't speak clearly. Her face flushed red, and she pointed at Murong Ling'er and said in a trembling voice: "How could you do this? You knew the food was not good, but you still ate it. Aren't you afraid of being poisoned? Or is this all your fault?"

The more Chu Yinyin thought about it, the more suspicious she felt, and the anger in her heart burned even more fiercely.

"That's enough!" Chuchu raised her voice. "Yinyin, you're so unreasonable. You really disappoint everyone. You're being so unreasonable and unbecoming!"

Wang also echoed: "Yinyin, stop making trouble. Miss Murong must have her reasons for doing this."

"Eat it! The dosage they gave is very small, you can fall asleep peacefully after eating it." Murong Ling'er's face was calm, and after speaking, she continued to eat elegantly.

Seeing this, Chu Yinyin was so angry that she almost choked, and her heart was full of regret for the food she had spit out on the ground. She glared at Murong Ling'er fiercely, gritted her teeth, and then continued to swallow in big mouthfuls.

"Hmph! You're so careless that you're not even afraid that there might be some other conspiracy hidden in this food." Chu Yinyin muttered while eating, her cheeks puffed up.

Murong Ling'er gently put down her chopsticks and looked up at Chu Yinyin, her eyes as calm as water. "Since we're here, let's make the best of it. If there really is a conspiracy, there's no point in panicking. Besides, this small dose of drugs can't do anything to me."

Chu Yinyin swallowed the food in her mouth and said, "Just brag! If something really happens, I want to see how you deal with it."

Murong Ling'er smiled slightly, said nothing more, and continued to chew slowly.

Chu Yinyin looked at her calm appearance and became even more furious, but she couldn't show it, so she could only concentrate on eating.

At this time, Chuchu frowned at Chu Yinyin who was wolfing down her food. "Yinyin, the way you eat is too ugly. You don't look like a girl at all." Chu Yinyin rolled her eyes at Chuchu. "I'm hungry, can't I eat more?"

Wang also echoed, "That's right, Yinyin, you should also learn from Miss Murong's dignity and steadiness."

Chu Yinyin snorted, "I don't want to learn from her!" After that, she stuffed another big mouthful of food into her mouth.

Everyone shook their heads helplessly, but Murong Ling'er remained unmoved, as if everything around her had nothing to do with her.

After finishing their meal, everyone washed their faces and soaked their feet with hot water. They were so exhausted that they soon fell asleep.

However, after everyone else fell asleep, Murong Ling'er and Chu Lingfeng did not fall asleep.

Murong Ling'er whispered, "Chu Lingfeng, this drug thing is probably not a simple matter. We must be careful in dealing with it."

Chu Lingfeng frowned and responded, "I also find this matter strange. I wonder what the purpose of the people behind this is. Could it be that the higher-ups set this up on purpose?"

Murong Ling'er pondered for a moment: "Perhaps someone wants to take advantage of our sleep to do something bad. We must remain vigilant. Or maybe there is another conspiracy?"

Chu Lingfeng said worriedly, "If that's the case, the other party must have been prepared. Most of us in the exile team are old, weak, and sick. We have to think of a countermeasure. If they are outnumbered, we can't fight them head-on."

Murong Ling'er nodded gently: "Yes! Let's observe first, see what the situation is, and then wait for an opportunity to act. We must also pay attention to whether any companions are controlled by them to prevent them from being threatened."

Chu Lingfeng clenched his fists, hating his disabled legs for not being able to help!

Murong Ling'er soothed him, "Let's not be impulsive. Acting rashly at this moment will only put us in a more dangerous situation."

Chu Lingfeng nodded: "Then let's hold our ground for now and see how things develop."

After the two finished their discussion, they closed their eyes and pretended to be asleep, but they were actually alert and paying attention to the movements around them.

In the darkness, only their breathing was particularly clear, and every slightest sound could alert them.

Time flows by quietly like a silent trickle.

After a long time, the tranquility shrouded by the night was broken by a slight sound of footsteps. The footsteps suddenly stopped at the door, as if revealing some hesitation and alertness.

The visitor held his breath and listened nervously, not even daring to breathe, for fear that any movement would disturb the people in the house.

After repeatedly confirming that there was no sound in the house, he slowly reached out and gently pushed open the door.

The door hinge made a slight creaking sound as it turned, which was particularly harsh in the silence.

The visitor was startled by the sound and trembled violently. Seeing that there was still no response in the house, he walked in carefully and cautiously.

At this moment, Murong Ling'er quietly noticed a pair of sticky, snake-like gazes cast at her, which made her feel a little disgusted, but her face remained calm. Then, a pair of obscene words were heard.

"Hehehe... they are truly rich ladies. Look at their delicate skin and elegant demeanor. These beauties are far superior to those ordinary ladies before. No wonder the abbot was so generous to let them in this time."

The eyes of the person who spoke were filled with greed and evil, and there was an extremely disgusting smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Stop nagging and move! The abbot is waiting!"

Another voice urged impatiently, and the urgency in the tone was hard to conceal.

Then the man quickly stepped forward, ready to take action.
