Chapter 328 - 327: How’s That for a Slap in the Face
Xin Lin’s face changed, but soon returned to normal.
The master had said that her poison was exceptionally rare, something this country bumpkin would definitely not recognize.
"The poison above is called Cangqian Flower Pollen. It is made by drying and grinding the pistils of the Cangqian Flower. This powder is highly toxic; once in contact, it initially causes ulceration and swelling, but if not treated within three hours, it will result in the skin and flesh rotting away."
Xin Lin spoke slowly and methodically, reciting verbatim what she had read from the Mystical Medicine Book.
"Look, look, it was indeed she who poisoned. How could we allow such a vicious girl to acknowledge her ancestry and return to the family."
Chu Tianyi pointed at Xin Lin, his face filled with anger.
"And these Cangqian Flowers are right behind you, planted in abundance."
Xin Lin turned the conversation, her gaze shifting towards the bright pink flowers planted densely along the flower path.
The expressions of several uncles from the Chu Family changed drastically, their eyes unanimously focusing on Chu Miaoyun.
Not far behind Chu Miaoyun, there was a basket with freshly picked pistils.
"You... you are talking nonsense. I..."
Chu Miaoyun was both shocked and bewildered, taking a few steps back, as several pieces of the same green-colored silk handkerchiefs fell from her sleeves to the ground.
How could this country bumpkin recognize the Cangqian Flower, the master clearly stated this was a rare poison imported from the Southern Border.
"Miao Yun, you are being too frivolous, where did you learn such lowly tricks."
Uncle Chu was so angry his face changed color, he snorted coldly, and looking back at Chu Tianyi, appeared very displeased.
"Why don’t you help the young lady back to her room and dig up all these flowers."
Chu Tianyi’s face was a mixture of green and red, looking extremely unsightly.
How ridiculous, how could this little ghost know about these things.
"This is all a misunderstanding, uncles, she is just a child being foolish."
Chu Zhaonan hurriedly came forward, trying to smooth things over.
The uncles also appeared uneasy, sheepishly following Chu Zhaonan to the main hall.
Inside the main hall, Uncle Chu sat at the top.
Two uncles sat to his left and right, with Chu Tianyi and Chu Zhaonan each at one side.
Xin Lin and Ma Jingtian stood next to Silly Chu.
"My dear girl... sit... sit down."
Perhaps due to the crowd, Silly Chu was visibly anxious, he pulled Xin Lin, insisting she sit while he remained standing.
"Bei Qing, your illness has worsened, now you even start talking about dividing the estate, if your father knew, he would be terribly upset."
Uncle Chu looked displeased seeing Xin Lin, pulling a long face as he rebuked Chu Beiqing.
"You are the... silly one..."
Silly Chu’s temper also flared up, he stood up suddenly, pulling Xin Lin and started heading outside.
He might be silly, but he still felt that these people were continuously bullying his precious daughter.
"Dad, don’t rush. You forgot, today we came to divide the estate, after dividing, we will leave."
Xin Lin said lightly, pressing her silly father back into his seat.
"I don’t care whether you’re actually Bei Qing’s daughter or not, you can’t meddle in this family matter. Since the incident with Bei Qing, the three Chu brothers have maintained brotherly respect and harmony, the Chu Mansion cannot afford to lose face by dividing."
Uncle Chu was even more dissatisfied being confronted by Chu Beiqing, convinced that Chu Beiqing had been instigated by Xin Lin.
"What a show of brotherly respect and harmony."
Xin Lin scoffed, and suddenly yanked open her silly father’s clothes.
"See clearly now, this is your so-called good brotherhood."
Silly Chu’s clothes were shabby, and with a tear, they ripped open a large hole, revealing his chest.
