The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 251

Chapter 251: 146 A Pleasure to All (First Update)

The mother and daughter stared strangely at the medicine packet on the table, unsure of what the old lady had given them.

“What is this?” the Yao family asked.

The old lady stretched out in a yawn and languidly sat on a chair: “Arsenic.”

The Yao family choked.

Gu Jiao also almost choked. If she remembered correctly, the old lady just casually took it out of her pocket, didn’t she? Do old ladies nowadays carry arsenic around?

“Where did you get arsenic from?” Gu Jiao asked the old lady.

The old lady seemed a bit flustered under her gaze and cleared her throat: “Just… um… rat poison!”

She hastily glossed over her words, but Gu Jiao still understood.

Reselling, she said.

Some time ago, Gu Jiao found out there were rats in the house, so she made some rat poison using arsenic.

The rat poison disappeared, and so did the rats.

She thought the rats had eaten all the poison. Did the old lady actually take it to resell?

Is selling wound-healing medicine not enough to satisfy your needs?

Have you started selling rat poison too?

The old lady cleared her throat: “The medicine works really well. Each person in the neighborhood has a packet.”

Gu Jiao: You’ve already made it so common that everyone in the alley has a packet?!

A twitch appeared at the corner of Gu Jiao’s mouth.

“Oh my! It smells delicious! Is dinner ready? I’ll go and take a look in the kitchen!” The old lady quickly left.

The Yao family stood up: “Indeed, it smells delicious. I’ll go and take a look too!”

Gu Jiao’s gaze fell on her hand holding the medicine packet.

Isn’t it scary to bring arsenic into the kitchen?

The Yao family gave an awkward smile and squeezed the medicine packet in her hand: “I’m going to throw it away!”

“Oh.” Gu Jiao pretended to believe her.

The Yao family caught up with the old lady and they went to a secluded corner!

Holding up the medicine packet, the Yao family asked for advice: “Great-aunt, how do I use this?”
