The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl

Chapter 326 - 325: Poison?

Seeing Chu Zhaonan’s expression, Chu Miaoyun seemed to have another stroke of luck.

The scene that had just flashed through Xin Lin’s mind was not to be taken lightly.

After entering the Chu Mansion, and passing through a winding path deep with flowers, and a seven-holed rockery, a few people emerged.

Chu Miaoyun, accompanied by a handful of Maids, came walking towards her.

"How come you’re here?"

Chu Miaoyun’s complexion was rosy, and she seemed to be in a good mood. Upon seeing Xin Lin, her eyes widened.

Chu Miaoyun looked exactly the same as what Xin Lin had seen with her superpower, dressed in a pale green gauze dress and wearing a light onion-hued cape. Her features were delicately drawn, pride brimming in her eyes, exuding a domineering air as if she was looking down on everyone through her nostrils.

Xin Lin’s nostrils twitched slightly as she smelled a fragrance emanating from Chu Miaoyun.

That scent was not the common fragrance of powder or rouge used by young ladies; Xin Lin couldn’t help but become more vigilant.

"Miaoyun, you should recognize Xin Lin. She’s your elder uncle’s daughter who fell on hard times outside, and has just returned. You’ve been recuperating these past few days, and your father probably hasn’t had the chance to tell you yet."

Chu Zhaonan chuckled twice.

"Pah! She’s clearly an imposter, reeking of rusticity from head to toe. I certainly don’t acknowledge such a relative."

Chu Miaoyun held her head high, full of pride.

She had heard about the concerns of the Zixiao Palace Exam.

Could she have become the top scorer of the Imperial Examination without the favoritism of Murong Ziyue and the Emperor?

Chu Miaoyun glanced at Xin Lin’s pale face and found it incredibly irritating.

"Not at all, I also don’t have relatives who are the dregs of society."

Xin Lin laughed mockingly twice.

"You country bumpkin!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Miaoyun became enraged.

She intended to teach Xin Lin a lesson, but then she remembered that Xin Lin was an Advanced Spirit Master with Superior Talent; it was said that even Jin Chen had been badly beaten by her. In hand-to-hand combat, she was clearly no match.

Chu Miaoyun clenched her teeth and, glancing again at Xin Lin’s exquisite appearance, became even more jealous and envious.

Thinking of the poison her master had just taught her, she sneered and suddenly flung a pale green handkerchief from within her sleeve towards Xin Lin’s face.

Xin Lin’s eyes darkened.

Chu Miaoyun felt the figure in front of her vanish in an instant, and someone kicked her hard from behind.

"Ouch!"

Chu Miaoyun fell flat on her face to the ground.

That pale green scarf, with uncanny accuracy, landed right on her own face.

As soon as the handkerchief touched Chu Miaoyun’s face, she screamed in agony.

"My face, my face."

On her face, tiny rashes emerged at a visible rate on her fair skin - red and itchy. As soon as Chu Miaoyun scratched, they broke open.

Her two Maids hurried to help her, but as soon as they touched Chu Miaoyun, they felt unbearable itchiness and dared not get any closer.

"What are you two doing!"

Chu Miaoyun’s cries of pain filled the air, and in a moment, her face was scratched bloody.

At this moment, Chu Tianyi arrived from the other end of the flower path.

Upon seeing Chu Miaoyun fallen on the ground.

Chu Tianyi, hurt for her, helped his precious daughter up.

Seeing Chu Miaoyun’s state, Chu Tianyi was both shocked and furious.

"Xin Lin, how dare you! You actually had the audacity to poison Miaoyun!"

"Poison? Absurd, since when did our Chu Family produce such unworthy descendants to use such despicable means?"

Behind him stood an elder with all white hair and two middle-aged men.

The elder at the front fixed his piercing gaze on Xin Lin.

He huffed coldly, and with his palm shaped like a claw, aimed to grab Xin Lin and accuse her.
