The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 252

Chapter 252: 146 A Pleasure to All (First Update)_2

No third party was involved, so Lady Ling was unable to defend herself.

But clearly, the Yao family misunderstood the old lady’s intentions. She seized the chance and directly put rat poison into Lady Ling’s cup.

How could Ling Lady expect that the Yao family would dare to poison her so brazenly? Picking up the teacup, she drank it without hesitation.

Then she fell victim.

The old lady had cut the rat poison with flour to increase profits; it was fake rat poison that couldn’t kill, yet it was enough to make Lady Ling drink a pot-full.

Lady Ling collapsed, face twisted, body convulsing, foaming at the mouth…

Those who knew said she had been poisoned, Those who didn’t thought she had suffered a stroke at such a young age.

The worst part was that her miserable state was witnessed by Lord Gu, who came looking for the Yao family.

Lady Ling couldn’t bear it and wished she were dead!

“What happened? What’s wrong with her?” Lord Gu asked in shock.

“I don’t know!” The Yao family feigned ignorance.

Lord Gu immediately ordered his servants to carry Lady Ling back to the courtyard and called for a doctor.

The doctor diagnosed that Lady Ling had been poisoned and quickly induced vomiting for her.

This was a hardship that the Yao family had previously endured.

But the doctor’s medical skills were not as advanced as Gu Jiao’s, and his medicines and equipment were not as advanced as hers. Lady Ling suffered far more than what Yao family had endured. _{freёwebnovel.com}

After two hours of agony, Lady Ling was finally able to speak.

Her first words were an accusation against the Yao family: “She poisoned me!”

Lord Gu frowned, “Don’t talk nonsense, how could my wife poison you?”

Not just Lord Gu, even the old lady Gu and the Gu brothers didn’t believe her.

They didn’t like the Yao family, but not liking them is one thing, believing they would dare to poison is another.

If Katy were genuinely capable of such a thing, why would they have driven her out of the house?

Gu Chenglin, sitting in his wheelchair, came to see her. Dismissing the servants, he quietly asked, “Aunt, are you trying to use a self-depreciating strategy?”

Lady Ling felt wronged, “I am not!”

Old Lady Gu also questioned her, “What on earth are you thinking? How could you commit such a foolish act? She just stayed a little longer in the mansion, right? Even if you want to drive her away, you should think of a smarter way!”

“Aunt!” Lady Ling felt so wronged that she even called out the familial term for her own family.

She admitted that she had harmed the Yao family before, but this time it really wasn’t her!

“It’s really her who poisoned me, aunt!”

Old Lady Gu glared at her, “She poisoned you with flour-laced arsenic?”

The family doctor had already said that this kind of arsenic wouldn’t kill as long as treatment was administered in time.

“I am fully aware of your little tricks, there’s no need for you to lie to me! Do you take me for a fool? Do you think I can’t see through you?” Old Lady Gu was very angry. She’s not angry at Lady Ling for doing something foolish, but angry at Lady Ling for doing something foolish and not admitting it, and taking her for a fool!

Old Lady Gu initially intended to support Lady Ling, but now she has changed her mind!

“You should reflect on your actions!” Having spoken, Old Lady Gu angrily left!

“Aunt, even I saw through this ruse. If you wish to handle that woman in the future, don’t use such petty tactics.” Gu Chenglin awkwardly finished, then returned to his own courtyard.

Lady Ling felt like she was on the verge of collapse. She had been dealing with that woman for more than ten years and the only time she didn’t was this time!

When she harmed others, nobody suspected her, but when she didn’t do anything, nobody in the entire mansion believed her!

Lady Ling’s head hurt from the rage!

Gu Changqing stayed in the military camp for several days, and finally returned to the Marquis residence late at night, looking utterly exhausted.

As soon as he entered the residence, his personal servant reported Lady Ling’s poisoning to him: “… I really didn’t see it coming. Lady Ling was so cruel to herself. In order to implicate the lady, she didn’t hesitate to poison herself. Isn’t she afraid that she’ll end up killing herself?”

Gu Changqing was silent and didn’t answer.

The servant then went on to say a lot more, essentially about how ruthless Lady Ling was to harm the lady.

Honestly, in the mansion, Lady Ling was seen as a genuinely good person. She has been overseeing the residence for many years, rarely had quarrels with the servants. However, the servants perceived Yao Family as even more benign than Lady Ling.

“How is Lady Ling doing now?” Gu Changqing finally asked.

The servant noticed that his master referred to her as Lady Ling, not Aunt Ling this time. Though a subtle change, it made one feel his feelings towards Lady Ling had changed.
