"Warning! Warning! Poison detected!"
Li Shi Ying's hand that was about to put a spoonful of soup in her mouth suddenly stopped when she heard the warning coming from her butterfly.
Σ(゜゜)?! What?! Poison?!
"What do you mean by that?" Li Shi Ying hurriedly asked the butterfly using telepathy. She really didn't know there was poison inside the soup! If her butterfly didn't tell her, she might've gotten hurt.
"There is a high dose of poison in mistress's soup. This poison is colorless and odorless. You won't even be able to detect it with silver."
The butterfly flapped her wings as she talked to Li Shi Ying from her contracted space.
"Can you neutralize this?" Li Shi Ying took a peek at everyone, and all of them had begun to eat their soup. If she didn't eat soon, whoever that put this poison in her soup would get suspicious.
"No mistress, I can't. This poison is rare. I can't neutralize it." The butterfly said in a low tone, feeling kind of useless since she couldn't neutralize the poison from the soup.
Her power was also limited...she couldn't detoxify or neutralize all kinds of poison in this world.
"I see. It's alright, I'll think of a way." Li Shi Ying didn't get angry at the butterfly at all. She knew her butterfly's power was not unlimited.
Now she had to solve this problem quickly. Was there a way to safely avoid eating this soup without getting the culprit suspicious?
As to who the culprit was… she was sure that it was Meng Yue Ming. She was the only one who cooked the soup, and also the one who filled up everyone's bowl.
But why would the female lead attempt to harm her with poison? The butterfly couldn't identify the effect of this poison, so she too didn't know what would happen to her once she consumed it.
Still… for Meng Yue Ming to attempt to poison her… she went too far!
Li Shi Ying pretended to blow on her soup as she raised her veil a little, trying to gain time to think about how she wouldn't have to eat this soup, sneaking a peek in Meng Yue Ming's direction.
When Li Shi Ying took a brief glance at Meng Yue Ming, she saw Meng Yue Ming was looking at her. Maybe she had been watching her for quite some time now!
Seeing this, Li Shi Ying was sure Meng Yue Ming was waiting for her to eat the soup. Now it was clear Meng Yue Ming was the culprit!
Damn you girl! Even though you are the female lead, how could you do something as petty as this?!
Gritting her teeth, Li Shi Ying did her best to think of a way so she wouldn't eat this soup, but she had to do it in an inconspicuous way.
Come on… what could she do…
Li Shi Ying gripped her bowl as she thought hard in her mind. Her left hand which was touching the bowl slowly felt warm since the soup was super hot.
Wait… warm? Ah! She had an idea!
Li Shi Ying suddenly got an idea after she felt the warmth coming from the bowl of hot soup. With this, she knew how to not eat the soup without arousing Meng Yue Ming's suspicions!
After all, Meng Yue Ming must be confident that she couldn't detect the poison. She wasn't an alchemist. It would be strange if somehow she knew there was poison inside the soup since the poison was odorless and colorless.
Heh, Meng Yue Ming, you think you could hurt her? No! Even though she knew she was only an ex-maid, she didn't deserve to be treated like this!
At this time, Meng Yue Ming was getting anxious. She saw that Li Shi Ying hadn't eaten the soup yet. Could it be she noticed something wrong inside?
No, it couldn't be! She was sure no one would be able to detect the poison. Maybe Li Shi Ying just felt the soup was too hot for her?
She had heard that Li Shi Ying's physique was weak, so maybe that's why she was extra careful even when eating? Yes, that must be it!
Meng Yue Ming slowly ate her soup as she kept an eye on Li Shi Ying's every movement. She saw Li Shi Ying now blowing the soup carefully.
Ah! That b*tch is about to eat the soup!
At this time, Li Shi Ying still blew her soup as she slowly moved her hand towards her lips, about to put it inside her mouth again. Her movements were slow since the veil was in the way.
She looked in Meng Yue Ming's direction, and saw the girl had an obvious smirk on her face as the girl watched how she was about to eat the poisonous soup.
Heh, you think your plan will work? No way!
Just as Li Shi Ying's lips touched the spoon, Li Shi Ying suddenly shrieked, and 'subconsciously' dropped both her spoon and bowl to the ground, making a loud noise.
THUD! SPLASH!
The bowl fell to the ground, and the soup spilled over on the ground, leaving nothing in the bowl. The soup was completely spilled!
Everyone who was eating happily got shocked at hearing the noises, and couldn't help but look at Li Shi Ying.
What happened??
