Plagued by bad reviews, but the top actress!
Chapter 1681: Her Highness Was Drugged 2
Could it be that she went to find Summer?
A moment later, Xia Chuyan, carrying a basket of peach blossoms, passed by the yard where the Yanxia Group stayed. Seeing shadows moving inside, she stopped.
She smiled and asked the two bodyguards standing at the door, "Gentlemen, the atmosphere here seems tense. Did something happen?
I’m the Second Miss of the Xia Family. Do you need someone to help?"
The two bodyguards remained expressionless. One of them said coldly, "No need for assistance; just please restrain the women of the Xia Family from having any bad ideas. Our master was lenient this time and didn’t take it seriously. But there won’t be such luck next time."
Xia Chuyan’s face stiffened, but she smiled gently, "Alright, I apologize for any lack of attention."
As she turned around, her face fell.
It seemed that Xia Weibao really had been here.
Restrain the Xia Family women from having any bad ideas.
Did this mean Xia Weibao tried to hit on Summer, angered him, and got thrown into the water?
But that doesn’t make sense. As far as she knew about Summer, he was extremely averse to women. If Xia Weibao really tried to get into his bed, there was no reason it would be so simple as just being thrown out.
Could it be that Summer is interested in Xia Weibao?
It’s not impossible. After all, Xia Weibao is as beautiful as a celestial maiden. It’s enough to move not just men, but even women.
But if Summer liked Xia Weibao, then what about Xia Yongxuan?
Xia Weibao had just finished her bath and was about to get into bed when she heard a knock on the door from outside.
Strange, who would be looking for her in the middle of the night.
She got up to open the door and saw Xia Chuyan standing outside with a bowl, smiling at her.
"Fifth Sister, I made you some ginger soup. Drink it while it’s hot so you don’t catch a cold."
With someone’s kindness, Xia Weibao naturally didn’t want to refuse, "Thank you, Second Sister."
After saying that, she took it, brought it to her lips, and was about to drink it when a slight frown appeared.
Xia Chuyan was a bit nervous and cautiously asked, "Fifth Sister, what’s the matter?"
Could she have sniffed it out?
She shouldn’t have. Xia Weibao doesn’t know medicine, so how would she know there was poison in it?
"Nothing."
After saying this, she drank it all in one go.
As the bowl was emptied, Xia Chuyan took it back, "Then you should rest early, I won’t disturb you. Remember to cover yourself properly."
Xia Weibao smiled slightly without saying much.
As she closed the door, the smile disappeared from her face.
Then she smiled with interest, everyone said Xia Yongxuan was the one in the Xia Family most skilled with poison, but now it seemed Xia Chuyan was no simple character either.
The poisoning was done very cleverly; if it weren’t for her previous life’s expertise with poison, she wouldn’t have noticed.
She wanted to see what Xia Chuyan was truly up to.
Early the next morning, a serious incident occurred in the Xia Family.
That was, there was a thief in the house.
Moreover, it was a thief with a grudge against the Southern Group, who actually pried off all the car emblems of the Southern Group’s cars!
"Is it true? Where’s a thief that only steals car emblems, are they sick?"
"Who knows, all the emblems were pried off. The most puzzling part is, after prying, they didn’t take them away but threw them on the ground, as if it was intentional vandalism."
"Huh? How twisted is that?"
"Exactly, I don’t know who’s so lacking in morals to do such a sneaky thing. Isn’t it just making trouble for the Southern Group, having to get cars repaired for no reason? I heard Nan Yi was so angry he couldn’t eat breakfast."
"No way, that bad..."
As Xia Chuyan walked towards the Peach Forest holding a basket of Peach Blossom Crispers, she overheard these discussions.
