The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man - Chapter 1341 - Chapter 1341 1041

Chapter 1341: 1041 Chapter 1341: 1041 Facing his indifference, she didn’t mind and brazenly followed him into the yard, “Your medical skill is quite good.”
“In the world, no one’s medical skill is better than Qingyue’s.

As her friend, I believe she would be happy to help you with a diagnosis.”
Tao Meijiao waved her hands repeatedly, “It’s not a serious ailment, I don’t want to find her.

She is the famous ‘Unnamed’ divine doctor known to all, with a consultation fee of one thousand taels each time, too expensive.”
Xiao Qinghe gave her a cold glance, “I’m not willing to examine you, seek another doctor.”
Tao Meijiao felt her heart, once harshly injured by him, ache intensely, “Xiao Qinghe, I’ll ask you one more time, are you truly so ruthless, not giving me any chance at all?”
“I thought I made myself clear,” he ordered with an icy expression, “Liu Sheng, see the guest out.”
Liu Sheng, the servant who had been following Xiao Qinghe’s wheelchair, gestured Tao Meijiao towards the exit, “Miss Tao, please!”
“Hmph, I can leave by myself!” Tao Meijiao left the Yi Garden and glanced back at Xiao Qinghe in his wheelchair one last time, biting her lip hard.

She thought to herself: Xiao Qinghe, you are forcing my hand!

She went to the kitchen and started making small talk with the female cook.

Since she was a friend of Su Qingyue, the cook didn’t have any suspicions of her.

While chatting, Meijiao figured out which dishes were to be delivered to Xiao Qinghe.

Taking advantage of the cook’s distraction, she stealthily added poison to a soup on the table.

The cook looked at her with confusion, “Miss Tao, what are you doing?”
“Nothing.

I saw that the chicken soup was just right and felt like having some,” she casually replied.

“If you’d like some, I can serve you a different bowl.”
“No need, no need,” Tao Meijiao hastily declined.

The cook pointed at the pot, “The portion on the table is for the Master.

There’s still half a pot left on the stove.

When the servant comes to pick up your meals, I’ll serve you a separate bowl.”
“Thank you very much,” replied Tao Meijiao without any reservations.

Liu Sheng entered the kitchen, “Auntie Gui, are the Master’s meals ready?”
“The ones on the table are,” said the cook.

Liu Sheng took the meals away.

Tao Meijiao, seeing him carry the food away, let a scheming smile play across her lips.

The chicken soup had been spiked with a potent poison that would be fatal if the consumer did not engage in intercourse with a woman.

She had also asked Qingyue about it; though Xiao Qinghe was a doctor, his medical skill was only above average, and he would not detect some colorless and tasteless medicines.

She had spent a hefty sum to acquire just such a colorless, tasteless medicine.

In three hours’ time, the medicinal effect would take hold, and then she would enter Xiao Qinghe’s room to enjoy a tryst with him, creating a fait accompli.

Having taken her body, he’d have no choice but to marry her.

“I didn’t want it to come to thisaEUR|” Tao Meijiao murmured, “Xiao Qinghe, you’ve driven me to this.

Everyone in town knows I like you, and it’s been so long.

If you don’t marry me, where will my face be, Tao Meijiao’s?”
She closed her eyes in agony, “I can’t bear not having you.”
She returned to the Elegant Garden.

The Elegant Garden was the courtyard of the Xiao Mansion for hosting guests.

Xiao Yishan was staying in one of the side rooms in the Elegant Garden, and Tao Meijiao was temporarily accommodated there as well.

Xiao Yishan, the protector of the mansion, greeted Tao Meijiao awkwardly upon returning to the garden after completing his duties, and then he went to his own room.

In the Yi Garden wing room, Xiao Qinghe hadn’t yet had the chance to eat when an attendant from the medicine hall informed him that Ministry Councillor Wang in the town had suddenly become unconscious and unresponsive, and someone from the mansion had come seeking urgent medical assistance.

He hurried off to make an emergency house call.

The servant Liu Sheng returned the untouched food to the kitchen.
