Mu Xiaoxiao fiddled with the small bottle between her fingers. Staring at Xin Zimo, she said slowly, “I suddenly thought of something. Does your father know that you know Auntie Lu? If he knows, then do you think he will know what this thing is if I just go and asked him directly?”

Hearing that, Xin Zimo panicked as expected and quickly said, “Don’t! You can’t let my father see this. He’ll be angry…”

“And you are still saying that this isn’t something harmful?” Mu Xiaoxiao pointed at her nose and questioned her.

“It isn’t poison! This is…” Xin Zimo finally couldn’t stand it anymore and she confessed, “I stole it from Papa. It is a very expensive medicine. I know that Brother Yichen won’t accept it, so I secretly fed it to Auntie Lu, hoping that she would get better soon. I had no intention of poisoning Auntie Lu! Why would I poison her!”

“Really? But I don’t believe you. What should I do?” Mu Xiaoxiao expressed her suspicions. After all, she couldn’t just take her word for it, right? Who knew if she was lying?

Xin Zimo pursed her lips, her eyes shining as she looked at her. Suddenly, she reached out and said, “Give it to me, and I will eat it in front of you. That’ll prove it, right?”

Great! Xiaoxiao was also curious to see if she would really dare to eat it.

Thus, Mu Xiaoxiao handed the small bottle to her.

If Xin Zimo didn’t dare to eat it and only wanted to take the bottle from her, then it would show that she was really guilty!

After coming to this conclusion, Mu Xiaoxiao finally decided to agree with her terms.

After Xin Zimo took the bottle, she opened the lid, tilted her head back, and she poured the powder from the bottle into her mouth.

“Wait!” Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly called out before snatching the bottle back and capping it.

She wanted to keep some of it as there might still be some use for the powder.

Xin Zimo closed her mouth and swallowed the powder slowly.

Because it was dry, and she had no water, it was pretty hard to swallow.

Mu Xiaoxiao didn’t know how the powder tasted.

After having a hard time swallowing it, Xin Zimo opened her mouth to show Mu Xiaoxiao.

“See that? This is medicine, not poison!” Xin Zimo said, looking pained after wasting the medicine.

Mu Xiaoxiao looked at her face fixedly, trying to look for any slip ups. She wouldn’t accept even a single one.

However, there weren’t any. She seemed to be telling the truth.

Mu Xiaoxiao believed her a little more but she still had a bit of suspicion. Perhaps it was a slow acting poison or perhaps she had offered to eat the poison because she already had the antidote.

In any case, it was a matter of Auntie Lu’s life, so she couldn’t be careless.

She said to Xin Zimo, “This isn’t one hundred percent proof. I don’t think you should be thinking of feeding Auntie Lu anything in the future. Leave her condition for the doctor to handle. Let the doctor come up with a treatment plan for her.”

Although Auntie Lu’s illness wasn’t minor, it wasn’t a serious illness that was difficult to treat. As long as she followed the treatment plan and went for the surgeries, it would only be a matter of time for her to recover. Thus, she didn’t need to take risks and eat some unknown medicine.

Xin Zimo made a compromise. “Okay.”
