Chapter 1456 - 275, Arrangement (17)
Lady Jiang’s lips twitched as she lowered her head to look at the small porcelain bottle in Tao Hua’s hands, her heart filled with rising anger. Did she look like a wicked stepmother? To think that she would use this dimethyltryptamine on her own daughter, the nerve of this woman!
Although she and her daughter had already figured out a plan to turn the tables, this reckless affair was certainly not to be done.
Lady Jiang immediately shook her head firmly, pushing the small porcelain bottle back: "No! I can’t use such despicable stuff on my daughter."
On hearing her treasure referred to as despicable, Tao Hua’s expression darkened, and she was just about to retort when she heard Lady Jiang ask with some suspicion, "Was it His Highness Third Prince who suggested using this stuff?"
Tao Hua’s heart skipped a beat, and she dared not mock Lady Jiang anymore. She hurriedly smiled apologetically while putting the small porcelain bottle back in her sleeve, sheepishly saying, "Of course not, of course not. His Highness Third Prince is the most upright person, naturally he would not resort to such, cough, such contemptible tricks."
Watching Tao Hua insult herself, a smug satisfaction arose in Lady Jiang who continued, "I thought so, it’s well known throughout the Capital city that the Third Prince is the most cultured and upright among all the princes. How could he possibly resort to tactics only the lowest would stoop to? Ha ha, you must be joking with me!"
"Yes, yes." From despicable tactics to despicable people, Tao Hua was fuming inside, her chubby face nearly bursting with internal injury.
But Lady Jiang was not ready to let her off so easily. She leaned in closer and said, "Oh my, if I can’t use this medicine, and persuasion doesn’t work, what method should I use then? You know all about these things, come on, think of a way for me!"
