Beast King'S Crippled Mate novel Chapter 106

Chapter 106: Chapter 106: Sugar Cube

’I have to make sure I get the sugar cube from her jar to cancel out the poison without looking suspicious,’ Swan told herself. She glanced at her jar and made a ’clumsy’ attempt by accidentally pushing it out of the table when she opened the jar.

The loud sound of a glass jar shattering on the ground alerted everyone inside Lady Jade’s room. There was a long silence until Swan broke the silence by smiling pretentiously.

"I’m so sorry. My hand was a little shaky just now. The cold must’ve gotten into me," Swan said innocently, before turning her gaze to her cat maid, "Maya, please clean it up."

"Yes, Princess," Maya hurriedly grabbed a broom and cleaned up the shattered glass shards on the ground.

"Ah, but I still want to drink the tea with sugar, since I don’t like bitter tea," Swan sighed with a thin smile. She glanced at Myra and said, "Myra, can you help me take two sugar cubes from Lady Jade’s jar? I prefer my tea to be super sweet."

"But..." Myra remembered that Princess Swan didn’t like sweet food that much, let alone sweet tea. She preferred bitter or plain tea. But Swan discreetly gave her a sharp side-glare, which spooked the cat maid, since Princess Swan had never given her that look before.

Thus, she walked towards Lady Jade’s side and said, "Excuse me, Milady."

Jade was even more pissed now. Anyone can see that Swan intentionally knocked that sugar cube jar off the table to get the sugar cube from her side.

Now, she suspected that Swan might’ve already guessed that the tea was poisoned.

But how? _{freēwebnovel.com}

How did this stupid woman know that Jade poisoned her tea?!

"You can take the sugar cube from Lady Long’s side instead," Jade said as she tried to keep her jar. She also intended to make Long Xiurong infertile, so the sugar cube on Long Xiurong’s side also had no antidote in it.

"Hm? What’s wrong, Milady? Why are you protecting a mere jar of sugar cubes? Is there something inside your sugar cubes?" Swan raised her brow. "Does your sugar cube have an antidote in it?"

Lady Jade’s eyes widened, "How could I—?! Did you think that I’m poisoning you?!"

Swan chuckled, "Don’t be mad, Milady. I was joking. But surely, if there’s nothing inside your sugar cube, you wouldn’t mind sharing them with me, right?"

Jade had nothing to say anymore, or she would look too suspicious. She glanced at Long Xiurong and found out the latter also stared at her with curiosity.

Thus, she allowed the cat maid to take two sugar cubes from inside her jar.

Myra put the sugar cubes on a saucer and gave it to Swan.

Swan put one sugar cube and stirred her tea until the sugar cube melted. She grinned and took a sip without worry, "Ah, you’re right, Milady. Ginseng is really good for my body. I feel much better now. Thank you for brewing me such an amazing tea."
