Chapter 1197 - 106 No Obstacle (Fifth Watch)
"Just what? Is there a problem?" Lin Yuan’s expression turned stern as she asked anxiously.
Xiao Linshuang was a bit puzzled and said, "It’s not that there’s a problem, it’s just curious. I clearly applied the medicine on Cheng Yuexiu, who likes to curry favor with Su Qiuyu, so naturally, she would have passed the powder on to her. But what about Miss Yao? Could it be that Cheng Yuexiu has been currying favor with her too? Or, did Su Qiuyu come into contact with her, and that’s how it spread?"
Lin Yuan was also puzzled, but she quickly thought about when Cheng Yuexiu and Xiao Linshuang fought; Su Qiuyu and Yao Hanai appeared together. It seemed that these two must have a close relationship!
However, what did their relationship have to do with Lin Yuan? As long as they weren’t in life-threatening danger, that was fine. Even though Su Qiuyu had kidnapped Xiao Linshuang, she hadn’t harmed her. Lin Yuan still didn’t want anything bad to happen to this woman.
Seeing Lin Yuan’s brows knit tightly together, Xiao Linshuang stepped forward, took her hand, and shook it, coquettishly pleading, "Big sister, could you please not be angry? I know I was wrong for acting without your consent this time, but I really do realize my mistake, and I won’t do it again in the future. Please, won’t you be angry, okay?"
Lin Yuan was shaken so vigorously by Xiao Linshuang that her whole arm swung, and her body and head swayed along, making her feel dizzy. With closed eyes, she cried out, "Stop! Stop! You’re going to shake my old bones apart!"
When Xiao Linshuang finally stopped, Lin Yuan pretended to scold her angrily, "You, you really make people worry. You better hope that you haven’t given yourself away this time, that Su Qiuyu and the others don’t become suspicious. You just heard it too, Su Qiuyu’s father, for her sake, even made a scene at Cheng Yuexiu’s place. Is that something a Prime Minister should do? Ah, it’s hard to imagine what they would do if they knew it was you behind this—whether he would turn our household upside down!"
Biting her lip, Xiao Linshuang hung her head and didn’t dare to speak, realizing only then the severity of the consequences of her actions. However, the medicine she used was hard to detect, and unless her master intervened, surely no one would be able to tell.
