The Divine Doctor And A Common Farmer-Chapter 1554 - 1640: All Lies

Dong Huiying’s words were quite unexpected for Old Lady Zhu.

This person looks young, like a girl, rather than a married woman with a husband. And when she smiles, it’s gentle and pleasant, seemingly a quiet type, but once she speaks, her sharp tongue makes people regard her more highly.

She is not someone easily bullied.

Indeed, for a remarkable man like Liang San, if she had no skills, how could she manage him?

Old Lady Zhu’s expression remained indifferent: "I’m not saying it’s a declaration of war, but when a member of the Zhu family is bullied, as the matriarch, I naturally have to stand up for my family."

At this point, Old Lady Zhu glanced at Zhu De beside her, who smiled and said, "Third Master and Third Mistress seem to forget easily. In the past, you both wronged me, Zhu De, first. What the Zhu family does now is simply an eye for an eye."

Dong Huiying sneered, "An eye for an eye! But Sister Zhu, where did you get the nerve? You once forcibly claimed the recipes from my Huizi Store’s Food As Heaven chain as your own. After an actual competition between us, a loss is a loss, yet you dare not face defeat? However..."

Dong Huiying slowly shifted her position, resting her elbow on the armrest of the chair, her left leg crossed over her right knee, "Shameless people abound, and I never had high expectations for your conduct. But today the Zhu family attacked my Huizi Store, causing significant losses. I am here today only to demand compensation!"

Shujun, who was originally standing behind her master’s wife, hadn’t reached any prior agreement, but showed an incredible level of understanding at this moment.

Shujun smiled and said, "What my master’s wife says is very true. In business, since our Huizi Store has suffered losses, we must demand justice."

Old Lady Zhu snorted coldly, "Are the two of you not thinking straight, losses?" People of rank are different, even when they harm others, they do so eloquently.

Old Lady Zhu immediately called for someone, "Show the guests out!"

It seems there is no chance for compensation now.

Dong Huiying feigned displeasure: "Old Lady, do not be unwise. I am already stooping to discuss this calmly with you, considering it as saving face for the Zhu family!"

Old Lady Zhu did not even blink: "You are all esteemed guests, but my Zhu family temple is small and cannot accommodate you, so please leave!"

Dong Huiying looked ashamed and angry: "What a Zhu family, I will remember you!" She turned and walked away with a fling of her long purple sleeve, leaving behind a graceful arc, unknown to anyone that some colorless powder spread at that moment.

"Let’s go!" Dong Huiying wore an angry expression, but inside she was smiling with narrowed eyes.

What seeking justice, what settling scores with the Zhu family to demand compensation? All are false pretenses!

What she truly intended to do was unleash that handful of colorless poison. Seeing the Eighth Princess so supportive of the Zhu family, it proved how much she trusted them.

Thus, Dong Huiying was eagerly anticipating the moment when the Eighth Princess comes into contact with the Zhu family, they will inevitably be poisoned.

This poison has a latent period, and if its catalyst is never used to trigger it, it can lie dormant in the body for a lifetime, without affecting a person’s health or longevity. But once the catalyst is used, it will act, and within seven days, death is certain! 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

With her back to the Zhu family, no one saw Dong Huiying’s eyes glint with sinister malice, along with a gloating anticipation...
