Chapter 106: Chapter 106: You Poison, I Taste the Poison

A few minutes later, Xue Qingsong arrived at the scene under the protection of several guards.

"Grandfather!" Seeing Xue Qingsong, Xue Ke immediately greeted him.

Xue Qingsong’s face was calm, showing no sign of happiness or anger.

"Tell me, what happened?" Xue Qingsong glanced at Xue Ke and asked indifferently.

Xue Ke immediately pointed his finger at Lu Xiao: "Grandfather, I was arranging the dinner, when I saw this guy walking back and forth between the tables."

"At first, I didn’t pay any attention, thinking that he was just looking around."

"But soon I discovered something was off, he was pouring something into the dishes."

"So I called the guards immediately, wanting to get him under control first."

Xue Ke spoke very quickly, and his expression was quite on point.

Honestly, even Lu Xiao couldn’t help but admire Xue Ke, being able to weave such blatant lies in such a short time was no easy feat.

However, Lu Xiao didn’t respond to Xue Ke’s slander and still sat calmly.

Lu Xiao also wanted to see how Xue Qingsong would handle this situation.

Xue Qingsong didn’t turn his head to look at Lu Xiao, but stared at Xue Ke: "Since you have accused him, do you have any evidence?"

"Grandfather, I saw it with my own eyes!" Xue Ke claimed firmly.

Xue Qingsong’s eyelids suddenly twitched.

I ask you if you have evidence, and you tell me you saw it with your own eyes, do you think I’m so senile that I can be easily fooled by just a few words?

According to your logic, someone else could also say that you, Xue Ke, poisoned the dishes. The evidence? They saw it with their own eyes.

"I mean concrete evidence."

"Since you saw him pouring something into the dishes, which ones specifically?"

"Point them out, and I’ll have people take them for inspection." Xue Qingsong indicated the surrounding tables with a gesture.

Xue Ke fully panicked, what are you doing, Grandfather? I’m your own grandson! Don’t you have any trust in me?

Why do I feel like you’re siding with Lu Xiao against me!

"Grandfather, his back was towards me, I didn’t see clearly which dish it was." But soon, Xue Ke found an excuse.

Xue Ke was very satisfied with his quick reaction and quite pleased with the excuse he had come up with.

Now, Grandfather should interrogate Lu Xiao, right?

Xue Qingsong took a deep breath and then shook his head: "No matter, just tell me which table, inspecting them all won’t take much time."

Xue Ke almost lost it.

Are you really my grandfather or not!

You should be targeting Lu Xiao, from the moment you arrived you haven’t asked him a single question.

"Just... that table." Of course, Xue Ke randomly pointed at a table.

Let them inspect, then. When the time comes, I’ll just say I was mistaken.

And for Lu Xiao, I’ll think of another way to deal with him.

Only after Xue Ke pointed out did Xue Qingsong finally turn his head to look toward Lu Xiao.

"Lu Xiao, is it?" Xue Qingsong asked, having gotten the name from Miao Tianhe.

"Yes."

"Xue Ke has accused you of tampering with the food, do you have anything to say?" Xue Qingsong’s gaze was calm and his tone was gentle.

Lu Xiao smiled, stood up, and then walked slowly to the table that Xue Ke had pointed out.

"Xue Ke is right, I did indeed add something."

"This is how I did it, let me show you." Saying that, Lu Xiao took out a porcelain bottle from his pocket, opened the lid, and sprinkled its content onto the cold dishes on the table.

Xue Ke was completely stunned, what are you doing, Lu Xiao?

The members of the various clans present were just as befuddled as Xue Ke, completely unable to comprehend what Lu Xiao was doing.

Even if you really did drug the food, why would you demonstrate it again?

Are you in such a hurry to confess?

"So, does Mr. Xue want to arrest me?" Lu Xiao put away the porcelain bottle and looked toward Xue Qingsong.

"Grandfather! He admitted it!" Xue Ke snapped back to his senses and cried out immediately.

"Quickly grab Lu Xiao, so we can have a proper interrogation later."

"To poison food in the Xue Clan, that’s audacity taken to the extreme."

The guards of the Xue Clan also took a couple of steps forward, surrounding Lu Xiao.

With a single command from the Family Head, they could capture Lu Xiao in an instant.

Xue Qingsong didn’t speak, and his expression barely changed, remaining as calm as ever.

About half a minute later, a soft chuckle suddenly came from Xue Qingsong’s nose, and then he stepped forward towards Lu Xiao.

"Since you’ve already demonstrated, let me taste what kind of poison it is."

As he spoke, Xue Qingsong picked up some chopsticks and took a piece from the cold dish platter where Lu Xiao had scattered the powder, putting it into his mouth.

"Grandfather!"

"Family Head!" The members of the Xue Family present were all in a panic, had the Family Head gone mad?

Lu Xiao had openly drugged the food, how could he still dare to eat it.

The people from the other clans also widened their eyes, whether it was Lu Xiao drugging the food or Xue Qingsong tasting the poison, it... was all quite outrageous.
