Chapter 1755 - 1756: One Link After Another

Staring at the liquid in the cup, her mind drifted elsewhere.

Xia Chuyan lifted the curtain and stepped in, seeing her sitting quietly and raised a smile.

"Fifth Sister, where have you been these last few days? I was so worried about you."

Xia Weibao looked up, her black eyes as still as a dead lake, without waves.

She gave Xia Chuyan a deep look, as calm as an ancient well, "Does Second Sister really care about me?"

"Of course, that day you said you were going out for some air and never returned, I was scared to death.

I couldn’t find you anywhere. I called Summer, and he said you were over there, so I stopped looking.

Fifth Sister, what happened? Why were you at Summer’s place?"

Xia Weibao only felt it was ironic, "What happened to me, doesn’t Second Sister know best?"

A flicker of panic crossed Xia Chuyan’s eyes before she regained her composure, "I don’t understand what you’re saying."

"Let’s not beat around the bush, Second Sister, you poisoned me, didn’t you?"

After thinking it over, with Xia Yongxuan’s skill, it’s utterly impossible for her to poison without me noticing.

The only possibility is this unfathomable Xia Chuyan.

And I let my guard down around Xia Chuyan, she had many opportunities to make a move.

Xia Chuyan’s face stiffened, then she relaxed with a smile, "How did you figure out it was me?"

Xia Weibao shook her head, "I didn’t figure it out, but I guessed it. Apart from you, no one else could target me."

"Since you already know, why ask again? Yes, it was me."

Xia Weibao stared straight at her, her eyes unfathomable.

This judgment-like gaze made Xia Chuyan very uncomfortable.

"So, why did you ask me out today, to question me? I admit it all."

"How did you do it?"

Xia Weibao interrupted her words.

Even with Xia Chuyan’s brilliant poison technique, she couldn’t have poisoned me without me noticing.

I’m really curious where I fell victim.

Everything I ate or touched was non-toxic, even with compound poisons, nothing I encountered could have created that type of poison.

Xia Chuyan took a deep breath, "Compound poison, I put something in the food I brought you in prison, it was a tonic, not poison, you should have tasted it."

Xia Weibao’s pupils shrank slightly, yes, she indeed tasted it at the time.

But it was a medicinal herb for calming the mind, she thought Xia Chuyan was worried she couldn’t sleep well in prison, so she provided a calming tonic.

Thinking it was just concern, she didn’t mention it.

"After you tasted one herb, I didn’t dare let you consume more. If you had two in the same day, you would definitely be suspicious.

So, in Xia Yongtong’s cup of wine, there was also medicinal powder.

Although you appear carefree, I know you’re attentive. If it spilled on you, you’d definitely detect it."

"So, you let her spill it on you? You were in cahoots with them?" Xia Weibao could hardly believe what she was hearing.

Her Second Sister, always the loving sister, actually conspired with Xia Yongxuan against her!

Xia Chuyan took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, "Yes, it spilled on me, so you wouldn’t be as suspicious.

That medicinal powder is colorless and tasteless, and once it evaporates, it enters the body through the respiratory tract.

The room was dimly lit, so you couldn’t detect anything unusual.

Another herb was on those three thugs, they were arranged by Xia Yongxuan.

Given your nature, if someone provoked you, you’d certainly take action, and as long as you touched them, the three-layered poison would take effect."
