Chapter 1496: She Wants to Kill You

Editor: Henyee Translations

Regardless, even if she chose not to appear, nobody would take notice.

The sight of those individuals was bothersome to her, including Ding Xiang and her husband, whom she found annoying.

While Qiao Wei decided not to attend, Qiao Xuan also didn’t send anyone to invite her, as if she were inconsequential. The thought crossed her mind—was she truly dispensable?

Fuming with anger, Qiao Wei nearly smashed the food in front of her. Despite Qiu He’s attempts at persuasion, she reluctantly picked up her chopsticks to eat.

Unexpectedly, at that very moment, Mianmian and Lixia stormed in accompanied by Ah-Ye, as well as Ding Xiang’s maids, Qingyun and Qingshuang.

...

Startled, Qiao Wei slammed her chopsticks on the table, questioning with a cold face, “What are you attempting by barging into my room with so many people?”

Unfazed, nobody paid any attention to her.

Lixia poured soup into a bowl and placed it on the table, gently pushing it in front of Qiu He. With a polite tone, she said, “Sister Qiu He, please eat.”

Perplexed, Qiao Wei looked at Qiu He for an explanation.

Qiu He’s expression shifted slightly. She stood still, neither moving nor speaking.

Infuriated, Qiao Wei slammed the table, angrily shouting, “Lixia! What are you doing? What is the meaning of this?”

Lixia continued to gaze at Qiu He without blinking. “Considering the time we’ve spent together, is this the respect you show? Or perhaps, the soup I personally scooped is not worthy of you, Sister Qiu He?”

Frowning, Qiao Wei demanded, “What is the purpose of all this? Explain!”

Lixia replied, “Or is it that you don’t have the courage to drink it at all?”

Qiu He’s heart trembled, and her expression darkened even further.

“How did they know? It was impossible…”

Qiao Wei felt increasingly bewildered and suspicious. With a dark expression, she refrained from speaking.

Lixia picked up the soup bowl and extended it towards Qiu He. “Sister Qiu He, please.”

Qiu He chuckled lightly, saying, “This is quite unexpected. I didn’t anticipate such high praise from you. Since you’re so considerate, how can I refuse your goodwill?”

Smiling, Qiu He accepted the soup bowl, gently stirring its contents with a spoon. She scooped up a spoonful, blew on it, and brought it to her mouth.

Suddenly, she hurled the bowl at Lixia, swiftly turning and leaping towards the open window. Her movements were remarkably agile, and she vanished before everyone’s eyes in the blink of an eye.

Simultaneously, Ah-Ye pursued her.

Qiao Wei’s expression shifted, and she exclaimed, “What are you attempting?”

Unaware of Qiu He’s true identity, Qiao Wei assumed Qiu He had been exposed, and Lixia and the others were deliberately causing trouble to capture her.

Terrified, she wondered if Qiu He’s exposure also meant her own. The fear consumed her.

Lixia and the others exchanged sympathetic glances.

“Miss Qiao, don’t you understand? There’s poison in this soup—”

“You’re trying to poison me!”

“Miss Qiao, do you think harming you would require such elaborate tactics? There were numerous opportunities along the way!”

“…”

Lixia sneered and declared, “Since you’re having trouble grasping the situation, let me clarify. The poison in this soup was planted by Qiu He under the watchful eyes of those monitoring her. It was Qiu He who intended to poison Miss Qiao!”

“That can’t be possible!”

Qiao Wei screamed, her face turning ashen.

She was genuinely taken aback.

While initially deeming it implausible, Qiao Wei couldn’t ignore the sincerity in Lixia’s words. As Lixia pointed out, if someone like Qiao Xuan wanted her eliminated, they wouldn’t resort to such elaborate schemes!
