Volume 1_Chapter 209: The Opponents Encountered Are All Too Weak

Everyone turned to look at Lady Shui, only to see her take a cup out from her sleeve.

When Jun Mengran saw that cup, her pupils constricted, and her eyes were filled with disbelief.

"Mother—" Jun Mengran's voice carried a hint of shrillness, clearly showing a bit of panic.

However, Lady Shui merely glanced at Jun Mengran indifferently and spoke calmly, "This is the cup Mengran drank from."

The table was shattered, the wine pot was shattered, but the cup had been preserved; thus, Jun Linche's actions appeared entirely superfluous.

Once Lady Shui spoke, both father and daughter, Jun Linche and Jun Mengran, had their expressions change.

Doctor Yin was not influenced by the pair; he merely swept a calm glance over them before walking toward Lady Shui.

Seeing this, Jun Linche was about to intervene, but before he could move, Ye Lanjue's voice rang out, "Villa Master Jun would do best not to think about doing anything else."

The words were completely devoid of emotion, yet they made Jun Linche's body stiffen. When he met Ye Lanjue's cold gaze, he couldn't help but shiver.

Cold sweat broke out on Jun Linche's forehead.

By this time, Doctor Yin had already taken the cup from Lady Shui's hand. After an inspection, he spoke calmly, "There is no poison in the cup or in the residual wine."

This short sentence struck Jun Mengran's heart like a hammer, shattering her last shred of reason. Forgetting the occasion and the situation, she shrieked in rebuttal:

"How can there be no poison? There must be poison in it, otherwise why would I be in so much pain?"

Jun Mengran suddenly pointed at Yun Qiyue, questioning her, "Was it you? You were the one who tampered with it, right?"

Yun Qiyue curled her lips.

Indeed, it was she who had tampered with it.

It was already strange enough that Jun Mengran had suddenly asked her to help pour the wine, especially since that wine was already poisoned.

That small dosage wouldn't kill anyone, just cause simple pain—it was underestimating her too much. So, how could she possibly do nothing?

Since Jun Mengran wanted to be poisoned, she would fulfill that wish for her.

Her poison was unique; it wasn't something just anyone could detect.

Besides, who said that poisoning had to be done in the wine or the cup?

She only needed to be unnoticeable when handing over the wine cup to administer the poison.

"Why is Miss Jun so certain there is poison in the wine? Besides, aren't there two doctors here now? If you were poisoned, how could one doctor not see it, and two doctors still not see it?" Yun Qiyue looked amused, as if Jun Mengran were telling a ridiculous joke.

Upon hearing this, Jun Mengran subconsciously shrank back.

Thinking of Meng Dafu's diagnosis, Jun Mengran felt a bit panicked.

However, she quickly steadied her heart.

She... she couldn't be pregnant.

Jun Mengran comforted herself this way, yet in her heart, she was somewhat uncertain.

Because she...

However, after hearing Yun Qiyue's words, Doctor Yin, under Ye Lanjue's instruction, had already walked toward Jun Mengran.

Seeing Doctor Yin walking toward her, Jun Mengran felt he was in cahoots with Yun Qiyue and the others. She didn't trust him and subconsciously wanted to dodge, saying, "You are all in this together, trying to frame me. I don't want you to examine me."

This "you" naturally referred to Doctor Yin.

Yet, being spoken to this way by Jun Mengran, Doctor Yin didn't get angry at all; instead, he looked at Jun Linche, "Villa Master Jun, what do you think?"

Doctor Yin's tone was indifferent.

Jun Linche naturally wanted to refuse.

Even if he didn't want to offend a good doctor, he didn't want to be criticized by others either.

However, Yun Qiyue did not give him that opportunity.

"If Villa Master Jun is feeling guilty and doesn't want Doctor Yin to examine her, then there's no need to examine her at all. Just don't go around making baseless accusations in the future."

These words were very blunt.

It made Jun Linche grit his teeth in anger.

But what could he do? Ye Lanjue was still sitting right there.

With a cold and dark expression, Jun Linche finally gritted his teeth and said to Doctor Yin, "Please, examine my daughter."

It wasn't that he feared Yun Qiyue's "guilty conscience" remark, but rather he feared that Jun Mengran might truly have something wrong with her later.

Besides, he hadn't forgotten that Meng Dafu had diagnosed her as pregnant.

It wasn't that he couldn't find another doctor later, but...

Jun Linche glanced at Ye Lanjue in the wheelchair.

No matter what, his daughter could not be ruined in front of him.

It was just a pity that Jun Linche was waiting for a conclusion that Jun Mengran was not pregnant.

But in the end, the conclusion Doctor Yin gave was the same as Meng Dafu's.

That was, Jun Mengran was pregnant.

Jun Linche glared angrily at Jun Mengran, and Jun Mengran also wore a look of panic.

She, how could she be?

Jun Mengran looked disbelieving.

Throughout the whole process, only Yun Qiyue saw that when Doctor Yin was taking the pulse, he turned back to look at her, and that gaze carried a hint of something unreadable.

Yun Qiyue was slightly stunned.

Could it be that this Doctor Yin had figured it out?

If that were truly the case, she would have to admire him.

After all, her poison was not something just anyone could see the trickery in; being able to see it meant his medical skills were indeed very good.

And now, since the conclusion was out, it was time to settle accounts.

"Villa Master Jun kept saying he wanted justice; now that the truth is out, I wonder what Villa Master Jun intends to do now?" If she wanted to frame her, she would have to pay a price.

She was not a soft persimmon that could be squeezed by anyone.

Upon hearing this, Jun Linche's expression was not very good.

He glanced at Ye Lanjue before asking Yun Qiyue, "What do you want to do?"

Hearing this, Yun Qiyue smiled, showing her teeth.

If someone were familiar with her, they would surely know that this expression meant someone was about to be unlucky.

Then, Yun Qiyue spoke, "It's very simple. Either let me kick her into the water one more time, and then poison her one more time, which would fulfill her intentions, or..."

Yun Qiyue's expression hardened as she looked at Jun Mengran, "Kneel, kowtow, and apologize—you choose."

Upon hearing this, Jun Mengran's expression changed drastically, and she shouted with a shrill voice, "On what grounds?"

Yun Qiyue: "On the grounds that you attempted to frame me."

As she spoke, Yun Qiyue looked at Jun Mengran without any psychological pressure and said indifferently, "Of course, also on the grounds that I have a backer."

She could have omitted that last sentence.

Her temper of retaliating on the spot didn't come from having a backer.

But, who asked that adding that sentence could infuriate the other party to death?

Sure enough, after hearing Yun Qiyue's last sentence, Jun Mengran's face twisted.

Seeing Jun Mengran like this, Yun Qiyue couldn't help but shake her head.

Suddenly, a sense of loneliness emerged, like "standing at the top of the peak, looking down at all the mountains."

There was no help for it; who asked the opponents encountered to be all so weak?

After finishing her inner reflection, Yun Qiyue issued an ultimatum, "Miss Jun, are you choosing or not? If you don't choose, I'll help you choose."

As she spoke, she made a gesture as if to step forward.

She had the posture of someone about to pick up Jun Mengran and throw her into the water.

Jun Mengran was currently cold and her stomach was hurting, so naturally, she didn't want to be thrown into the water by Yun Qiyue.

Besides, if she were thrown into the water, she would still be poisoned.

Thus, Jun Mengran said in terror, "Wait, I choose to apologize."

Yun Qiyue stopped, looking at Jun Mengran with an "you should have done this earlier" expression, waiting for her to apologize.

Jun Mengran gritted her teeth and squeezed an "I'm sorry" through her teeth.

Yun Qiyue sneered, "Miss Jun, did you forget that you also need to kneel and kowtow?"

Jun Mengran was furious, "Yun Qiyue, don't push your luck."

Yun Qiyue looked indifferent, "Fine! Since you say I'm pushing my luck, then I'll have to do it myself."

Having said that, Yun Qiyue prepared to take action.

Seeing this, Jun Mengran was so scared that she immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Yun Qiyue, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

After kowtowing and apologizing, Jun Mengran could no longer bear this humiliation, stood up, and ran out of the pavilion.

"Wait."

Lady Shui spoke at this moment. ===== CHAPTER 210 =====
