Chapter 316: The Food is Poisoned

Only now did Song Miqiu realize that Yu Huailin was a straight man. No wonder he couldn't get rid of those two women and even had to find a doctor for her; wasn't she a doctor herself?

After Yu Huailin finished speaking, he helped Song Miqiu away. Song Miqiu turned around, looking smug, which made Liuli stomp her feet in anger.

Liuli suddenly thought of something, and her mood instantly improved.

"Song Miqiu, Song Miqiu, let's see how long you can be so smug." Liuli's smile was somewhat terrifying.

The shopkeeper came out and saw such a beautiful woman smiling like that, and he didn't even want to go over and make money.

Song Miqiu and Yu Huailin walked out of the market, which had just been bustling with activity but was now crowded with people.

"It's getting late, let's hurry back. The dew is heavy tonight, be careful not to catch a cold."

"Okay, let's go home."

"Mother, you're back." Qiu Tianlei saw the two of them return together, so it seemed their relationship wasn't so bad after all.

Song Miqiu glanced at Qiu Tianlei and said somewhat unhappily, "Where is Yumei? You're not by her side. You're here drinking and eating peanuts."

Qiu Tianlei said aggrievedly, "Mom, why do you always criticize me? I can only eat something and drink a little wine after Yumei has fallen asleep."

"Alright, look at you, so useless." Song Miqiu was too lazy to care about Qiu Tianlei; as long as she took good care of Yumei, that was enough.

"I'm going to rest now, you should rest early too." Song Miqiu said, yawning. She hadn't had a proper rest during this time, but now she felt much better and could finally get a good night's sleep.

Yu Huailin was in a good mood and left happily.

"What's going on? You two made up?" Qiu Tianlei looked at the two of them with great confusion.

Yu Huailin didn't want to talk to Qiu Tianlei, but luckily Wu Yanfan was there today, and their relationship was restored.

"It has nothing to do with you."

"Hey, hey, hey, you're too quick to kick me away after I've served my purpose! Even though I didn't help you, I still put in the effort, no credit needed." Qiu Tianlei was furious.

“They came back one by one, and they were all snarling at him like they were on fire. What did he do to deserve this?”

Yu Huailin had no time to deal with Qiu Tianlei right now. Qiu Tianlei was furious behind him.

The tension between Song Miqiu and Yu Huailin, who had no relationship, eased, and the servants were less nervous.

"Come on... Mother, let's have a proper meal today. This meal wasn't cooked by Young Master Yu." Qiu Tianlei still had a bad memory of the meal Yu Huailin cooked last time.

Yu Huailin stared at Qiu Tianlei with a dark expression, but Qiu Tianlei pretended not to see him.

"Okay, everyone eat, Yumei, you eat more."

Song Miqiu picked up her chopsticks, ready to eat a piece of braised fish. It tasted good. Just as Song Miqiu was about to eat, the system beeped.

"Host, beware, this is poisonous."

"Yu Mei, wait a moment before you eat..." Tian Yu Mei was just about to put down the food in front of her when she heard Song Mi Qiu say "wait a moment," and she put down her chopsticks with a puzzled look.

"What's wrong, Mother?" Qiu Tianlei was very puzzled as to why she wouldn't let him eat.

"shut your mouth."

Song Miqiu scolded Qiu Tianlei, who obediently dared not speak. Song Miqiu picked up some other dishes, all of which were fine, but her favorite dish was poisoned.

Song Miqiu frowned; it seemed this person had poisoned her.

"Mother, is there something wrong with the dishes?" Tian Yumei watched as Song Miqiu ate all the dishes, and it seemed there was something wrong with them.

"Yu Mei, let's go out to eat as a family! This dish seems a bit spoiled today, maybe it's not fresh." Song Miqiu made up an excuse to get rid of the situation.

Tian Yumei wanted to say something more, but seeing Song Miqiu's expression, she knew what was going on.

Yu Huailin wanted to ask, but didn't know how to start.

"Miqiu, I was eating out just now and didn't have a chance to ask you what happened!" Yu Huailin asked somewhat anxiously.

"That's right, someone poisoned today's dishes, and this one is highly poisonous. It seems someone is targeting me, only poisoning the dishes I like. But Yu Mei is here, and I was afraid of scaring them, so we went out to eat."

Song Miqiu had a pretty good idea of ​​who had done it, but she didn't want to tell Yu Huailin directly, for fear that Yu Huailin would think she was trying to sow discord.

Yu Huailin's expression changed slightly, and he immediately thought of someone.

"Miqiu, I'm sorry, I'll handle this."

"Ah."

Song Miqiu knew that Yu Huailin was so smart that he would definitely be able to figure out who had poisoned him.

"You should rest first, I'll go take care of some things." Yu Huailin's face darkened.

Ignoring the darkness, Yu Huailin mounted his horse and set off to find the old eunuch.

He was filled with remorse. If he hadn't felt sorry for him because of his loyalty and his advanced age, this would never have happened.

Growing angrier the more he thought about it, Yu Huailin lashed the horse's rump with his whip, eager to find out why the old eunuch had done such a thing.

The horse, feeling pain in its rump, sped up.

When they arrived at the old eunuch's residence, the gate was tightly shut. Yu Huailin didn't even knock; he simply kicked it open, and the servants were too frightened to speak.

The old eunuch was drinking tea when he saw Yu Huailin arrive. He smiled and, seeing Yu Huailin's angry face, he knew what was going on.

"Young master..." Why are you here?

"Did I tell you not to act on your own? How dare you poison Song Miqiu behind my back? You've got some nerve." Yu Huailin's expression was extremely grave.

The old eunuch knew that this matter could not be tolerated by the Crown Prince.

He immediately knelt down and said, "Your Highness, that Song Miqiu is simply a bewitching woman who has bewitched you. I was only thinking of Your Highness's best interests and was trying to remove her from the court."

"Well said, 'Purge the court of corrupt officials,' I think you're asking for trouble."

At this moment, Yu Huailin's tone was icy cold and devoid of any warmth.

"Your Highness, if my death can bring you to your senses, this old servant is willing to die now."

The old eunuch spoke with righteous indignation and was about to slam his head against the table next to him when Liuli grabbed him.

"Young master, are you really so heartless as to let my godfather die? He did it all for you."

Yu Huailin remained unmoved. He had crossed his bottom line, and he would not keep a disobedient person around.

“What use is it for me to keep someone who doesn’t listen to me around?” Yu Huailin did not sympathize with the old eunuch because of Liuli’s words.

He had been very patient with the old eunuch, but it was this old eunuch who kept pushing his limits, and his limits were Song Miqiu.

"Your Highness, absolutely not! Please forgive my godfather next time!" Liuli cried as she hugged the old eunuch.

The old eunuch was also huddled to the side.

Yu Huailin just watched quietly without saying a word. He was very angry. If Song Miqiu ate it, Song Miqiu would be the one to die.
