Su Mei was panic only for a moment. The next second, she already calmed down and said with kind of faking anxiety,
"Miss Xia, the porridge is specially made for you. I’m afraid it’s inappropriate for me to eat it."
She was very confident in her poison which she had made with herbs in the s.p.a.ce. It was colorless, odorless, and without any trace!
When in the Eastern Liao Kingdom, she used the same poison to get rid of quite a few of her father concubines for her mother’s sake. No one found why, even the imperial physician. People all thought they had died from serious illness!
Xia Liang did not say anything but stared at her emotionlessly with her clear eyes. No one could tell what she was thinking.
Su Mei was going to stare at her in the eyes, but got panic and anxious after a while. She felt that her dirtiest secret could go out.
Finally, Su Mei gave up and quickly lowered her head to cover up her uneasiness!
At this very moment, Xia Liang said coldly,
"The porridge you made tastes aweful. So you should eat it yourself!"
In Bai Yao’s eyes, Xia Liang’s would only make him think that she was straightforward and supper cute. He could not help but smiled with sweetness and affection in his heart.
He couldn’t help but touched her hair. He couldn’t keep his hand off her soft silky hair. He kept rubbing fondly again and again, until Xia Liang was annoyed to brush his hand away.
But, Su Mei was p.i.s.sed off by what Xia Liang said.
She was very sure that this woman was absolutely making a fuss to pick on her for no reason just because the General loved her!
The woman must consider her as a threat because she was young and beautiful. She must want to take this opportunity to remove her from Bai Yao!
Su Mei thought to herself for a while.
When she laid her eyes on Xia Liang who was common-looking and skinny, she couldn’t be surer of her thought!
The rumor said that the reason why the General spoiled her was because she got herself injured to save the General. The General loved her because she had saved his life, definitely not because she was attracted to him!
After all, this woman was not as beautiful as she was. Given time, it would be very easy to make Bai Yao love her!
To keep it in her thought, Su Mei looked at the General with affection and complained,
"General, the porridge is sort of medicine after all. It may not taste good. But I promise you, it is very good for her lady"s health! Please try to persuade her lady to put her health as the top priority.”
Su Mei’s argument not only suggested that she was innocent and loyal, but also that Xia Liang was arrogant and spoiled.
Bai Yao squinted at her and looked at Xia Liang in his arms. He rubbed his hand and frowned as if he was condescendingly serious!
Deep inside his heart, Bai Yao was thrilled. He could still feel the itchiness at his hand back which was slapped by Xia Liang.
He wished that Xia Liang could slap him once again.
He was shy on the outside though, supper wild on the inside.
Su Mei was happy to see his serious face. She felt that what she said would soon work. The General must have a problem with Xia Liang now. Thinking of this, her heart was beating excitedly!
He would scold Xia Liang very soon!
However, Bai Yao did say something but something that made Su Mei mad. She almost lost her temper and made a scene!
"You either eat it or go away. Choose one." Bai Yao said coldly.
Obviously it was her fault to cook such terrible porridge. But she was blaming his Xia Liang. He couldn’t forgive her!
If Xia Liang didn’t say that they should give her another chance, Bai Yao would have sent her back to his mother long ago!
Humiliated by them, Su Mei wished she could tear Xia Liang apart and hated Bai Yao even more!
However, the more she hated him, the more Su Mei wanted to win Bai Yao’s heart and then completely destroy him!
Her face turned pale, and she said with reverence and awe, "General, it’s my bad. I will take it away, eat it and make a new one."
Xia Liang would never give her the opportunity to throw it away. She would force her to eat this bowl of poisonous porridge in front of them!
"Sit down and eat it here." Xia Liang leaned forward and tapped the table with her fingers, pointing to the chair beside them.
"Her lady, I, I dare not!" Su Mei was terrified," It belongs to the master. I don’t deserve to sit there."
"Then stand here to eat it." Xia Liang said coldly, staring at her hard.
Su Mei was s.h.i.+vering with her red, watery eyes, as if she was being tortured. Anyone seeing this would feel sorry for her.
Bai Yao raised his eyebrows and asked," Why do you have to make her eat it?"
Bai Yao didn’t understand and was confused why Xia Liang was so aggressive.
On one hand, this was not her because she was indifferent and simple; on the other hand, he couldn’t help but think there was something wrong with the porridge. 9957 screamed her mind, "Alas! It"s over! Liang, will Bai Yao get angry at you because you forced Su Mei? Otherwise he wouldn"t bother to ask! Look at Su Mei. She plays the naïve white lotus now. Any man would want to protect her now. You might get blamed because of this!"
"Really?" Xia Liang said.
9957’s words made Xia Liang swayed.
Had she gone too far this time?!
She turned to Bai Yao and frowned, also a little puzzled,” I just want her to understand how terrible it tasted like so she won’t add something terrible next time!"
Bai Yao was surprised that that was the reason. Given it a thought, he accepted her explanation!
His Xia Liang was so special. Her thought was always unique and interesting.
While Bai Yao was still thinking wildly of Xia Liang, Xia Liang said coldly," I don"t want you to be unhappy!"
If you are unhappy, it will affect my task. She had to make it clear!
"What?!" Bai Yao was too shocked to understand why she suddenly cared about if he was happy or not.
But anyway, his heart was full of joy all of sudden so as that he had no thought to figure out why she changed the subject!
The girl in his arms cared about his feelings. She would rather hurt herself than harm him a little bit. What was more, she cared if he was happy or not.
Bai Yao felt beyond happy when he thought of this.
It was then.
"Ding!"
9957 announced,"Bai Yao"s happiness index increases to 70%!"
Xia Liang, "?"
What did she do?!
