Chapter 1658: Chapter 1658: Something’s Wrong
Little Tiangua’s dark eyes were shining brightly.
It seemed like she knew her mother was about to feed her something delicious. Before Su Yunjin could bring the spoon to her mouth, Little Tiangua had already opened her mouth wide.
Her little hands waved vigorously.
Su Yunjin brought the spoon halfway, and suddenly noticed something was wrong. Previously, she hadn’t paid attention, so she hadn’t noticed any difference. Now upon closer inspection, she realized that the water in the spoon and the bowl looked odd. Normally, plain water should have no color and be transparent, but at this moment, the water in Little Tiangua’s bowl had a slight yellow tinge. Not only the water in the bowl but also the water in the spoon was yellowish.
Besides, Su Yunjin faintly smelled a distinct medicinal scent.
How could there be a medicinal scent in the water meant for Little Tiangua?
Su Yunjin put down the spoon.
She quickly picked up the bowl to sniff it.
Soon enough, Su Yunjin detected several medicinal scents coming from the bowl; these were common medicines for treating coughs. However, there was another medicine she couldn’t identify right away.
The medicine added to the bowl was for treating coughs. Su Yunjin put down the spoon and stared confusedly at the medication in the bowl. Little Tiangua’s illness was already cured. Aunt Bao wouldn’t add cough medicine to her water again. Moreover, Aunt Bao had always followed her instructions, and without her orders, Aunt Bao wouldn’t arbitrarily add anything to Little Tiangua’s water.
If it wasn’t Aunt Bao, it couldn’t be Aunt Liang or Mrs. An either. These people had been by Little Tiangua’s side since she was born, and they wouldn’t add anything to her water without reason.
If it wasn’t any of them, then who could it be?
Su Yunjin was startled.
Instinctively, Su Yunjin glanced at Mrs. Chu behind her. Other than Aunt Bao and the others, Mrs. Chu, who had just come to visit her, was the only one left. This text is hosted at noⅴelfire.net
But what Su Yunjin couldn’t understand was why Mrs. Chu would drug Little Tiangua?
When Mrs. Chu noticed Su Yunjin’s gaze, her face immediately showed a guilty look. Could it be that the third sister-in-law had discovered something? Did the third sister-in-law know she had added something to Little Tiangua’s water? Mrs. Chu wasn’t afraid of being found out by Su Yunjin, as her mother-in-law, Mrs. An, had said the medicine she provided was for treating Little Tiangua’s cough, and her illness would be cured after taking it. Mrs. Chu agreed to help Mrs. An for Little Tiangua’s sake, thinking her mother-in-law wouldn’t deceive her.
Her mother-in-law cared more about Little Tiangua than anyone else and would surely give an effective cough medicine. Mrs. An cautioned her repeatedly not to disclose it, and Mrs. Chu agreed to keep the secret.
Seeing Mr. Chu’s guilty expression, Su Yunjin was more convinced of her suspicions. It seemed the medication in the bowl was indeed administered by Mrs. Chu.
“Sister-in-law, let me ask you, did you tamper with the water Little Tiangua drinks?” Su Yunjin’s gaze remained fixed on Mrs. Chu, giving her no chance to evade.
Mrs. Chu felt guilty again, “I… I didn’t… Sister-in-law, I didn’t.” Mrs. Chu almost admitted it when suddenly, out of nowhere, a cat jumped in. Worried the cat’s claws might hurt Little Tiangua, Su Yunjin quickly picked up Little Tiangua, stepped back a few feet, and moved aside.
The big black cat jumped onto the table, and when Mrs. Chu went to chase it away, she didn’t expect the cat to eat a mouthful of water from the bowl. It let out a yowl and then convulsed before rolling onto the floor.
Both Su Yunjin and Mrs. Chu looked at the cat, only to see it foaming at the mouth, its eyes rolling back as it drew its last breath.
