Xia Yi sneered and said: "If Miss Chu calling it a joke to pour an entire basin of water on someone else, then Xia Yi has nothing to say."

Old Madame Chu frowned and asked: "Are you admitting that the one who poisoned you?"

"Old madam knows that this has nothing to do with Xia Yi. Xia Yi had a restaurant to manage, so she did not have the time and effort to bother with these boring matters. I also hope that Miss Chu will not continue to be so overbearing. " Xia Yi said.

"Doctor, go ahead." Chu Sike turned her head to look at the doctor.

The doctor replied, "Reporting to the madame, this old man has forgotten to tell you one thing. The poison in the Miss Chu usually takes less than an hour to fully take effect."

In this half an hour, Chu Sike had been accompanying Old Madame Chu and Xiao Linmu as they ate their meals.

The doctor's words directly targeted Xia Yi.

In a place where the Old Madame Chu couldn't see, Chu Sike blinked her eyes at Xia Yi, as if she had succeeded.

At this moment, Chu Sike's chair suddenly leaned back.

Everything happened too suddenly, so Chu Sike did not even have the time to grab onto anything before she fell onto the ground with his chair.

Xiao Linmu who had been sitting still suddenly stood up, walked in front of Chu Sike and stretched out his hand towards him.

Chu Sike smiled bashfully and passed the hand over.

Xia Yi looked at Xiao Linmu's actions coldly, feeling unsatisfied in his heart.

After Xiao Linmu helped Chu Sike up, he did not immediately leave. Instead, he picked up a small paper bag from the ground.

"You dropped something." He said to Chu Sike.

Chu Sike's eyes quickly flashed with panic, and said: "This isn't mine!"

Xiao Linmu deliberately pretended to be suspicious: "It's not yours? "But I saw this thing fly out from your sleeve."

"But …" Maybe I remembered wrongly, thank you Brother Mu. " Chu Sike had no choice but to admit it.

Just as he was about to reach out and take it, Xiao Linmu's hand suddenly retracted.

Xiao Linmu opened the package in front of everyone and saw some white powder inside.

"Doctor, may I trouble you to see what this is?"

Chu Sike watched helplessly as Xiao Linmu passed the contents of the paper bag to the doctor.

The doctor sniffed a few times and then said to Old Madame Chu: "Old madam, this is the poison that Miss Chu is infected with."

Everything had already become clear, the poison that Chu Sike was infected with had actually been discovered in her own body.

The suspicion on Xia Yi's body had been completely washed away, and she did not stay in the Chu Mansion any longer as she directly left.

Xiao Linmu also retreated after accomplishing his task, then bid Old Madame Chu farewell and left.

Actually, Chu Sike had been discovered by him earlier when she was making some small movements. Xiao Linmu had not made a sound all this while.

In the end, he had used a small scheme to expose Chu Sike.

"You disgraceful thing! Let's return to the capital after recuperating from our illness, and not stay in Lingshan Town any longer. " Old Madame Chu did not care whether Chu Sike's body was weak or not, she immediately broke out in curses, and after swearing, she directly flicked her sleeves and left.

Chu Sike sat on the ground like a pile of mud, her eyes empty until the servant's voice sounded, "Miss, please wake up. The ground is cold."

Only then did Chu Sike regain her senses, and she suddenly burst into tears.

She clearly wanted to work hard and perform very well in front of Xiao Linmu, how did she end up like this?

How could she still have the face to talk to Xiao Linmu in the future?

What Chu Sike didn't know was that Xiao Linmu had deliberately arranged this match.

If she didn't do anything today, nothing would happen.

And yet, she was unable to resist the urge to kill Xia Yi, and directly struck him in the heart.

This was because Xiao Linmu was very clear about Old Madame Chu's personality. With something like this happening, Chu Sike definitely could not continue to stay in the Lingshan Town.

This way, he wouldn't have to worry about Chu Sike constantly wanting to find trouble with him.

Xia Yi went back to Ruyi Manor before she returned home.

Therefore, when he reached home, Xiao Linmu was already there.

He was seated in the courtyard, leisurely reading a book, while Xia Yang and Xia Yue were writing on the stone table in the courtyard.

Xia Yi walked in front of Xiao Linmu and stopped.

Her shadow was reflected in Xiao Linmu's book.

Only then did Xiao Linmu raise his head, seeing that Xia Yi had something to say, Xiao Linmu raised his eyebrow, and said first: "No need for thanks, just a pot of fried chicken is enough."

Xia Yi did not say a word, and then said: "Oh yeah, add some potato chips, it's tomato flavored."

Fried potato chips were Xia Yue's and Xia Yang's favorite dish.

Hearing Xiao Linmu's words, the two of them looked up at the same time, their eyes filled with excitement, "I love my sister the most!"

When he saw Xia Yang and Xia Yue's clear eyes, Xia Yi's anger that was originally in his stomach somewhat dissipated.

She said to Xiao Linmu: "Thank you very much for helping me today, Sir Mu Lin."

Xiao Linmu frowned slightly. He felt that Xia Yi's tone was a little off.

Sure enough, Xia Yi continued to speak: "Since Sir Mu Lin is Old Madame Chu's esteemed guest, I presume that if I were to stay there, Old Madame Chu would not object. Sir Mu might as well go to Chu Mansion. Better than holed up in my little place. "

Xiao Linmu clenched his teeth, his gaze fixed on Xia Yi's face, and asked word by word: "Are you chasing me away?"

Even though Xiao Linmu was sitting on a stool and looking at Xia Yi from the bottom up, Xia Yi was still stunned by Xiao Linmu's aura. Her eyes flickered slightly as she said, "I'm not chasing Young Master Mu away.

Xia Yue walked over silently, grabbed Xia Yi's sleeve and said: "Elder sister, can you not chase Brother Mu away?"

Xia Yang also came over, and directly hugged onto Xia Yi's leg. "I don't want Brother Mu to leave …"

Xia Yi helplessly looked at the little traitor whom Xiao Linmu had bribed in the family, and said: "In the end, Brother Mu Lin is not a member of my family, it is against the rules to stay in my family."

Xia Yang raised his head, and curled his lips: "Then can big sister use such a method to turn Brother Mu into our family's person?"

Xia Yi facepalmed, "Your Brother Mu is not only your Brother Mu, he is also someone else's Brother Mu!"

When Xia Yi said this, she suddenly remembered Chu Sike's soft tone of voice calling him Brother Mu.

Xiao Linmu's sharp senses detected the slight jealousy in Xia Yi's tone, and his lips couldn't help but rise as he asked: "Are you jealous?"

Only now did Xia Yi feel that the tone that she had used just now was a little wrong.

He quickly denied it, "What are you going to eat? "Sorry, I don't like to eat sour food!"

Xiao Linmu did not refute him and only smiled.

Xia Yi somehow felt guilty, and quickly got the topic back on track.

"We're talking about your move. Don't try to change the subject."
