Chapter 231 - 231 Weren’t You Stunned By Him Just Now?
231 Weren’t You Stunned By Him Just Now?
If there was really such a medicine, she would have tried it on Chu Tianbao long ago.
Cui Lingyi saw Madam Qu’s dark expression and smiled imperceptibly. Little Phoenix was indeed smart.
When Qu Xin’er heard this, she immediately panicked and shouted, “I don’t want to drink poison. I don’t want to drink poison. Grandmother, save me!”
She was afraid that if she drank it, a black mole would appear on her palm.
!!
Bai Wutong moved closer to her and her gentle smile seemed to be filled with viciousness. “Miss Qu, don’t worry. Many people have tried it. It definitely won’t cause any discomfort to Miss Qu’s body. I can vouch for it with my life.”
“Just one sip, just one sip…”
In Qu Xin’er’s eyes, Bai Wutong was like an old witch who was forcing others to drink poison. She kept muttering that she only needed one sip, like a curse was placed over her head.
Qu Xin’er could not stand the psychological pressure from Bai Wutong. She broke down and shouted, “I’m not drinking!”
Bai Wutong continued to press her. “Why not? Just one sip, just one sip…”
Psychological pressure was a common method of interrogating prisoners.
Qu Xin’er could not take it anymore and completely collapsed. Tears streamed down her face. “I was spouting nonsense. I was spouting nonsense. Are you satisfied now?!”
Bai Wutong looked at the stunned Madam Qu and said calmly, “I don’t think we’ll need the truth serum anymore.”
Madam Qu’s face darkened as she stared into Qu Xin’er’s eyes. “Xin’er, are you frightened?”
Qu Xin’er cried, “I don’t know. I really don’t know anything… Don’t ask me…”
At this moment, Madam Qu did not want to admit it, but she knew that Qu Xin’er must have lied just now.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t be so guilty. Her mind was in chaos just after she was asked about it.
This was the second time Qu Xin’er had done that, including to Li Keying.
She glared at the timid Qu Xin’er, but she was unwilling to give up on the Qu family’s pride and apologize. She could only grit her teeth and explain perfunctorily, “I’m afraid Xin’er heard wrongly and have misunderstood Miss Cui.”
Qu Yuanxian and Cui Shize were good brothers. The Cui family had to care about the relationship between the two families.
However, Bai Wutong did not have such concerns. She raised her eyebrows and waved the truth serum again. She said annoyingly, “Did she hear wrongly? Then who was the one who was gossiping behind others’ back and misleading Miss Qu? This concerns the reputation of both families. Madam Qu, I suggest that we give Miss Qu a try of the truth serum. Miss Qu is still young, but we still have a reputation to protect.”
Bai Wutong did not want to let her off at all. Madam Qu was so angry that she wanted to slap her twice.
But she was also afraid that the truth serum would have an effect and make Qu Xin’er say more things she shouldn’t have. When the time came, if she really wanted to cover it up, she wouldn’t be able to clean up the mess.
Madam Qu said with a still face. “I’ll definitely get to the bottom of it when I get back.” With that, she wanted to take Qu Xin’er away.
“Hold up.”
Cui Lingyi suddenly stopped them.
Madam Qu hid her displeasure. “Miss Cui, what else do you want?”
Cui Lingyi looked at Qu Xin’er coldly. “Since you misheard and said something wrong, shouldn’t you apologize to me?”
Madam Qu did not expect Cui Lingyi to be so calculative. In front of so many people, she could not be perfunctory anymore. She pushed Qu Xin’er out. “Apologize to Miss Cui quickly.”
Qu Xin’er did not want to apologize, so she kept crying.
It was as if everyone had forced her to do something wrong.
Qu Lianghua rushed over. When he saw this scene, he picked her up and asked Madam Qu, “What happened?”
How could Madam Qu say it out loud? Lin Yue was understanding and helped him recount what his daughter had done.
Qu Lianghua’s face turned pale.
He naturally understood that Cui Lingyi would not say such a thing.
She hated himself more than anything.
