Chapter 744: Chapter 744: Of Course It’s Poison!

"Madam, why have you come? Is there something you wish to instruct us?" Yun Xiang asked, respectfully bowing to Lin Caisang.

Upon hearing this, Lin Caisang subtly shakes her head. The Clan Chief Ya’s household alone was plenty to keep the two of them occupied. If she added another task, Ya Village would be turned upside down!

"Take this. Make them swallow one each."

She extended her palm to reveal a porcelain vial which she offered to Yun Xiang.

Although Yun Xiang didn’t know what’s inside the vial, she accepted it without hesitation. Collaborating with Yun Mo, she forcefully made Clan Chief Ya and others swallow its contents.

"Cough, cough!"

As Clan Chief Ya was coerced into consuming an elixir pill, he was incessantly coughing in an attempt to expel it. He even tried gagging himself, but nothing came out.

"Stop your disgusting efforts. My pills dissolve as soon as they reach your throat; did you really think you can throw them up?" Lin Caisang chuckles, observing the Clan Chief Ya.

"You——"

Upon hearing her remark, Clan Chief Ya stopped gagging and glared at Lin Caisang, his eyes bloodshot.

"Lin Caisang, what did you make us eat?"

"What? Did you think I would give beneficial things to your family? Of course, it’s poison!" replied Lin Caisang.

"What?!"

Upon hearing her words, Ya Juxiang let out a shrill scream.

"Poison, Lin Caisang, why did you make us eat poison? How did I wrong you?"

She attempted to rush up to Lin Caisang, yet Yun Mo firmly grabbed her by the shoulder, leaving her squirming in place. She stared at Lin Caisang with disdain.

"Lin Caisang, you have already taken my Brother Molian away from me. Why do you have to be so malicious and persist in tormenting us? How has our family wronged you? You are clearly the one who stole my Brother Molian. Why is it that in the end, we are the ones who have been wrong?"

Lin Caisang: "..."

She really hadn’t expected this interpretation of her disagreements with the family of Clan Chief Ya.

"Malicious, huh? I really don’t understand how you guys interpret the word ’malicious’."

Once again, she raised her hand, revealing a piece of paper--the exact one that had been in the wall cavity. She looked intently at Ya Juxiang.

"Ya Juxiang, I didn’t harm you, you must realize that it’s your grandfather’s malice that harmed you!"

"You——"

Seeing the note in Lin Caisang’s hand, Ya Juxiang was shocked.

She had kept that note on her all day and had recognized it instantly. She had hidden it in the hole in the outer wall, hadn’t she?

Her grandfather had told her that Ya Ji would take it at night, so she wouldn’t have to worry about Yun Mo discovering it, or getting beaten because of the note.

Yet now...

"How did the note end up in your hands?"

"Juxiang!"

Clan Chief Ya had originally intended to deny any connection to the note, but upon hearing his granddaughter’s question, he knew he couldn’t.

"Clan Chief Ya, I really cannot believe that you, an old man, could be capable of such malice and despicability. It’s one thing to let Ya Ji harm me but plotting with people from the Zhou family to harm my cousin Lin Changfeng!"

Lin Caisang turned to Clan Chief Ya and spoke word by word.

The last part of the note warned Ya Ji that if harming her wasn’t effective, they should seek the Zhou family when Lin Changfeng was taking the imperial examination in order to ruin his reputation and thus eliminate his prospects of officialdom.
