“These medicinal dregs were the ingredients that were used to prepare the fish soup last night. It may seem nutritious, but Siye was unable to tolerate it. May I ask why did you put these in without permission?”
Even though Mu Hui was asking the maid, her gaze swept past Old Master Fu and Fu Sichen one by one.
Fu Sichen stared at the maid unflinchingly. The maid was frightened by his gaze.
The maid replied incoherently, “I don’t know either, but the medicine seemed to be good medicine, so I stewed it. I didn’t expect…”
Mu Hui asked again, “What medicine? Why did you choose to put these in? Isn’t the fish soup alone enough? Who told you to do this?”
After hearing Mu Hui’s words, Old Master Fu felt that the maid was being secretive and did not have any truth that could withstand scrutiny, so he berated her, “Was it your idea alone, or did someone instruct you to do it?”
The maid lowered her head.. She did not know what to say in the face of the interrogation. She looked up carefully at Fu Sichen. She wanted to ask for help but all she received was a fierce glare from him.
Compared to Fu Sichen, she was even more afraid of angering Old Master Fu, so she quickly explained, “Yes, it was young master Sichen who told me to do this.”
Fu Sichen was actually exposed by the maid. He looked at the furious Old Master Fu. How was he going to admit it?
“I am not wrong. I’m just helping brother to recover. There’s nothing wrong with these herbs, and the fish soup definitely has no problems.”
Mu Hui sneered, “Since there’s no problem, why don’t you drink it to prove it?”
Fu Sichen watched helplessly as she set a trap for him to enter. His expression became strange.
Old Master Fu looked at him and said, “Drink it. If there’s nothing wrong with you, then this matter has nothing to do with you.”
In order to prove his innocence in front of Old Master Fu, he lifted the bowl of fish soup and drank it all in one go.
