Chapter 856 - 115 Date, The Truth_5
What’s really at work here is what people often refer to as food incompatibility. Normally, incompatible foods may not evoke a strong reaction, but that also varies from person to person. Jin Jie was already physically weak, and with Luomeiyan having him drink large amounts of Chrysanthemum tea over an extended period, combined with incompatible foods in his diet such as chicken or celery, toxins accumulated over time and naturally caused a reaction.
Xiao Linshuang grabbed a yolk pastry and took a bite, saying, "Sister, do you also understand medical science? Gosh, if it hadn’t been for seeing you spacing out while making tea that day, I would’ve never thought that poison could be administered in such a manner!"
Lin Yuan secretly nodded to herself. She understood food incompatibility very well; it was just hard to imagine that a plot from a movie she had seen could actually happen in reality, and in this era no less.
Luomeiyan hung her head with a resigned expression, as if the revelation of the matter had lifted a weight off her heart.
An Jie’s expression was solemn, his voice notably grave, "Yanyan, there’s something that I’ve always been puzzled about, you..."
"Why I would poison you, right?" Luomeiyan kept her head down, her face unreadable, but her voice was heavy and faintly tinged with bitterness.
It wasn’t just An Jie; Lin Yuan and Xia Zheng were also eager to understand the reason. Moreover, what aroused their suspicion further was that this incident coincided with what happened at the Fragrant Full Building, followed immediately by someone exploiting it to bring down the establishment. If it were merely a coincidence, it might be dismissed, but if someone had been stirring the pot behind the scenes, it would complicate matters greatly.
Suddenly, Luomeiyan lifted her head, her eyes full of pain and resentment. Her voice, once gentle, was now thick with bitterness, "An Jie, do you still remember the question I asked you on the day we got married?"
