10 Chapter 10

Tang Kexin seemed to have sensed something ominous and quickly lifted her gaze to peered outside. But she did not find anything. Her eyebrows slightly furrowed as if deep in thought.

"What happened to that Miss Liu just now? Had she gone crazy?" Some people came back to their senses, and their voices were filled with unconcealable puzzlement.

"I don't know, but after what happened, I'm afraid that Miss Liu's reputation…" Some people shook their heads and sighed. They wanted to say something, but still their meaning was obvious.

Hearing the discussions, Tang Kexin's expression didn't change. Her goal in life was to live harmoniously with people. But the moment somebody committed an offence against her, she would not just sit back and ignore it. She would always give back the same offence or ten times more depending on the gravity. Thus, no one could blame her for being heartless.

Dong'er looked at Tang Kexin, her eyes still filled with bewilderment. Her Young Mistress had lately shocked and at the same time awed her. In the past, her Young Mistress was always bullied and laughed at due to her foolishness. It gave her heartache every time people ridicule her Young Mistress, and she had to do her best to at least protect her in some way. But now, her Young Mistress seemed reliable and dependable.

When Liu Ruyue woke up, she looked into Mu Shaoyu's gloomy eyes and felt her heart trembled. She may not remembered what exactly had happened but she knew how the poison works. And she was well aware that she was still inside the meditation hall at the time the poison flared.

And seeing how ugly and dark Mu Shaoyi's expression right now had amplified her heart's anxiety and fear. "Big Brother Yu, what happened to me just now? What happened?" Liu Ruyue suppressed the uneasiness in her heart and raised her head to look at Mu Shaoyi with tears and confusion in her eyes.

She was pitiful. Liu Ruyue knew that the most important thing to do now was to redeem her image first in Mu Shaoyi's heart. As long as she could still rein Mu Shaoyi's heart, she wouldn't care about other's opinion. Right now, she could only pretend to be innocent and wronged.

"You don't know what happened?" Mu Shaoyi was stunned and his expression changed slightly.

"What I only remembered was I went to offer a congratulatory tea to Miss Tang, but she refused it for a long time. Instead she forced me to drink the tea in the end. For some reason, after I drank the tea, I suddenly felt dizzy so I wanted to go back to my room to rest. But Big Brother Yu, I can't remember anything after that. Did I faint in the meditation hall? " Liu Ruyue frowned slightly as her lips pursed as if trying hard to remember something.

At this moment, Liu Ruyue had no choice but to deliberately misled Mu Shaoyi and push the blame to Tang Kexin.

When Mu Shaoyi thought about everything that had happened in the Meditation Hall, it made sense. Every scenario seemed to made sense. Tang Kexin? Mu Shaoyi's eyes narrowed. This damnable woman actually dared to poison Ruyue!

Seeing the change in Mu Shaoyi's expression, Liu Ruyue smiled coldly to herself. It was obvious that her words had misled Mu Shaoyi. Hmph! She will definitely settle this debt with Tang Kexin. She definitely won't let that woman off.

"Big Brother Yu, I didn't do anything shameful, right? I really could not remember anything..." Her face was full of weariness and unease. Liu Ruyue had to continue the show. She had to plant the seed of hatred and hostility into Mu Shaoyi's heart if she wanted to gain his sympathy.

"No, nothing happened." Looking at her helplessness and anxious appearance, Mu Shaoyi's heart ached inexplicably. He subconsciously pulled her into his embrace and comforted her softly.

"Big Brother Yu, I am sorry for bothering you." Liu Ruyue snuggled into his embrace with a smirk on her face. 'Tang Kexin, get the hell out here!'

Halfway down the mountain, a fuming Mu Shaoyi stood in front of Tang Kexin's carriage. Within the carriage, Tang Kexin's eyebrows slightly raised. It seemed that something was up? It was likely that Liu Ruyue had said something to Mu Shaoyi. However, she was certain that Liu Ruyue would never tell Mu Shaoyu the truth.

"Tang Kexin, how dare you poison Yue'er!" Mu Shaoyi's voice exploded, filled with anger and contempt.

Tang Kexin laughed inwardly. Indeed, just like what she had expected. Tang Kexin raised her hand and opened the carriage's curtain. Under Mu Shaoyi's seething gaze, she elegantly stepped out of the carriage.
