Chapter 638: Conspiracy (12)
“Because Madam’s family members are here so I couldn’t put that thing in.”
Hearing this, the line was silent for a few seconds, then he said, “Don’t worry, anyone who eats that thing will be fine, I promise.”
Xiao Cui was suspicious.
Anyone who eats it will be fine? What exactly is that thing? What was the other party’s purpose?
“But, I have already served my lunch on the table. I have no chance to do it again.” Xiao Cui lied.
As the person on the other end of the line only had her words, he believed her without a doubt.
“What about this morning?”
Xiao Cui’s hand tightened around the phone from nervousness. She tried to speak normally, hiding her nerves.
“In the morning, I put it in the white rice porridge, but… Madam only ate the fried dough sticks and milk. She did not touch the white rice porridge at all.”
“You’d better not be playing tricks on me!” The other party became agitated. “I’ll give you one last chance. Put the food in Zuo Weiyi’s favorite dish for dinner. If I don’t see the expected result tomorrow, be prepared to say goodbye to Xiao Song!”
Before Xiao Cui could say anything, the other party had already cut off the call.
Xiao Cui was falling into a mental breakdown.
“Xiao Cui.”
Zuo Weiyi’s voice suddenly came from behind her. Xiao Cui’s body and heart trembled reflexively. She turned around in shock and looked at Zuo Weiyi was standing at the kitchen door.
“Ma—Madam.”
Zuo Weiyi to frown slightly.
Was Xiao Cui being absent-minded again?
She saw the phone in Xiao Cui’s hand. “Who were you talking to?”
Xiao Cui glanced at the phone in her hand quickly put it down.
“W—with Xiao Song.”
“Is there anything wrong?”
“Nothing, nothing.” Xiao Cui turned around and changed the topic, “Madam, it’s time to eat.”
Xiao Cui brought the prepared dishes to the table.
Zuo Weiyi had come to see if the dishes were ready. Although she felt that something was wrong with Xiao Cui, she didn’t ask further and decided to eat first.
After lunch, the group sat on the sofa and continued chatting.
Shen Lanzhi could not help but sigh when she thought about how they just missed s.h.i.+ Yuting.
“I can’t believe Yuting actually flew to C Country already. I thought I would be able to see the two of you here.”
“This child really is something. He didn’t even tell us anything when he went back.” s.h.i.+ Le also looked a little disappointed.
Seeing the two old men’s reactions, Zuo Weiyi could not help but say, “He said that he would be back in a week or so.”
At this moment, Xiao Cui walked out after cleaning up. Zuo Weiyi saw her and said, “Xiao Cui, go to the second floor and tidy up some rooms.”
“Oh, no, no! There’s no need for that!” Shen Lanzhi quickly declined. Then, she smiled at Zuo Weiyi. “We’re going to s.h.i.+ Mansion. There’s no need to tidy up our rooms for us.”
Zuo Weiyi was stunned, then turned to Zuo Yi. “What about Grandpa?”
“Well, of course I’m not going to stay here. I’ll be at the the same house as before. You know that,” Zuo Yi said with a smile.
Since this was their private villa, he really shouldn’t stay with them.
“I want to live here!” s.h.i.+ Nuannuan suddenly raised a hand and made a statement. Then, she looked at Xiao Cui. “Go and tidy up the bedroom that I’ll be staying in.”
