Chapter 230: Was I Picked Up?

Ling Chu was still wondering why Dong Shi felt guilty about her and regretted promising her to Zhao Jingming as a concubine.

So she was waiting for her here.

Seeing that she was holding the soup but not drinking it, Dong Shi was anxious, but she couldn't show it, lest she make her suspicious.

Ling Chu raised her eyes, glanced at Dong Shi, and suddenly stood up and brought the soup to her.

"Mother, you haven't looked good recently. You will have to go to Zhao Guogong's mansion tomorrow. This bowl of soup has a lot of red dates, so you can eat it to replenish your body and avoid being exhausted."

Ling Chu was sent to Xuanqing Temple by Dong Shi for foster care since she was a child, and the relationship between mother and daughter has always been cold.

Seeing that she suddenly cared about her mother, everyone present was surprised.

Mrs. Dong frowned slightly, "No need, mother is not tired. You have always been in poor health, and you are growing up, so you should eat more."

"Mother doesn't want it, so why not give it to my third sister. She is younger than me, and as an elder sister, I should take care of her."

Ling Qing looked at him in confusion, a little confused by Ling Chu's sudden kindness.

Mrs. Dong didn't wait for her little daughter to speak, and directly helped her refuse, "Your third sister grew up in the mansion since she was a child, and she doesn't lack these things. You should eat it yourself."

Why did this little bastard suddenly change her temper? Could it be that she found something unusual in the soup?

After being rejected twice in a row, Ling Chu didn't get angry, but just looked at Mrs. Dong calmly, "Since mother and third sister don't want it, then I will send this bowl of soup to my eldest brother. He is in poor health and needs more nourishment."

Sure enough, he is a little bastard, and his heart is vicious.

Ling Hao is her eldest brother, how can she bear to hurt him.

Although Mrs. Dong was furious, Ling Chu turned around and left with the soup, so she could only suppress her anger.

"Wait a minute, your elder brother is taking medicine, and this soup is not suitable for him. Since you are so filial, then mother will exchange a bowl with you."

The lady frowned tightly. She originally thought that Ling Chu suddenly showed goodwill to Mrs. Dong, and wanted her mother to go to Zhaoguo Mansion tomorrow to get the concubine document back.

But now she saw something wrong on Mrs. Dong's face. There seemed to be anger in her eyes, and her tone was not right.

Ling Chu came back with the soup and handed the bowl to Mrs. Dong, "Okay, then mother, drink this soup."

Mrs. Dong held back her anger, and took the bowl of soup with a loving look, but did not drink it, but just put it on the table.

Instead, she picked up her own bowl and handed it to Ling Chu, "Sister Chu is filial, mother is very happy. Then mother will exchange with you, you drink this bowl."

Ling Chu did not move, and Mrs. Dong smiled and tried to stuff the soup into her.

[Ding! 】

[Knockout drug detected, please pay attention to the safety of the host! 】

Looking at the bowl of medicine in Dong's hand, Ling Chu felt sad for the original owner.

Dong could not hear the system's warning, and still advised kindly, "Chu Jie'er, the soup is getting cold, drink it quickly."

Ling Chu looked at her steadily, her voice as cold as ice, "Mom, my eldest brother and third sister are your biological children, I was picked up by you, right?"

Dong's heart tightened, and she glared angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about, you and your eldest brother are twins, when you were born, mother almost lost half her life."

Ling Chu was suspicious, originally what she said just now was just a casual remark.

But now, why did she feel that her mother's expression and tone revealed a hint of cowardice?

"Since I am your biological child, why do you treat your elder brother and third sister like a treasure, but hate me to the bone?"

"When did I hate you to the bone? Even if you are angry that I sent you to Xuanqing Temple for foster care, you shouldn't have wronged me like this. If you want to blame someone, blame your bad fate. If you didn't bring bad luck to your relatives, why would I send you away for foster care?

I can't kill the lives of the whole mansion just because of you."

Ling Chu sneered, "I wronged you, but you don't hate me to the bone? Then tell me, what's the matter with the knockout drug in the soup?"

Dong's face changed. This little bastard really knew it.

But she did it so secretly, how did she know it?

"What knockout drug?"

Originally, everyone was looking at Dong and Ling Chu with suspicion, and suddenly heard a roar, and subconsciously looked out the door.

Ling Mao and Ling Zong, father and son, were frowning and walking into the flower hall with anger on their faces.

At this moment, a sound of porcelain breaking suddenly sounded.

Ling Chu turned back.

In front of Mrs. Dong, two porcelain bowls were broken into pieces.

The chicken soup in the bowl was flowing down the table to the ground.

Ling Mao glanced at the messy table with a dignified look, and said coldly, "What knockout drug?"

In the flower hall.

There was complete silence.

No one spoke.

Ling Zong frowned and glanced at his wife, then turned and glared at Ling Chu, "Sister Chu, what happened? What knockout drug were you talking about just now?"

Although Mrs. Dong lowered her head, she was not afraid.

The soup bowl had been smashed by her, and without evidence, the little bastard could only keep quiet.

Ling Chu did not hide it, "Dad, the chicken soup that my mother asked me to drink just now had knockout drugs in it."

"Chu Jie'er, I had good intentions to ask the cook to stew chicken soup for everyone to nourish their bodies. Even if you are angry that I fostered you in a Taoist temple and promised you to the prince of Zhao as a concubine, you can't wrong your mother like this, right?"

"I have already promised you that I will go to the Zhaoguo Mansion tomorrow to get the concubine document back. What else are you dissatisfied with? Do you have to continue to make trouble and make the family restless before you are satisfied?"

Ling Chu ignored Dong's crying and said to Ling Zong in a cold voice, "Dad, whether there is knockout drugs or not, you can find out if you ask someone to invite a doctor to come back and test it.

Although the bowl was smashed, the soup was gone. But the little bit left at the bottom of the bowl was enough for the doctor to examine clearly. "

Mrs. Dong's face turned pale and she regretted why she hadn't smashed the two bowls to the ground just now.

After being married for many years, Ling Zong could tell at a glance that there was something wrong with Dong's expression.

Ling Zong couldn't bear the anger in his heart, and he felt more and more that his wife's attitude towards his eldest daughter was beyond his understanding, "You gave Chu Jie's child the sweat medicine, what on earth do you want to do?"

"Although I am in charge of Zhongfu, it does not mean that I am the one who administered the drug. After all, Sister Chu is also my daughter. How could I drug her for no reason..."

"Who knows if they plan to wait for me to drink the medicine and send it to Duke Zhao's mansion overnight."

Ling Chu exposed Dong in a cold voice. Seeing that her face was livid with anger, she became more and more suspicious.

"Dad, the eldest brother and the third sister are biological children. Could it be that I picked them up or you had them with another woman?"

Ling Chu couldn't bear to doubt that Dong was so unhappy with her.

It wouldn't be surprising if he ignored her because of his renunciation.

But just because he didn't like her, he gave her to someone else as a concubine, and even drugged her. This can be said to be hate.

What normal mother would do this to her biological daughter?

Ling Zong didn't expect his eldest daughter to ask such outrageous things, so he glared at her angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? You and your eldest brother are twins, both born to your mother."

Ling Chu kept staring at her father, but didn't see anything unusual in his expression. (End of chapter)
