After being forced into a marriage of convenience, a master of metaphysics manipulates a cold and al

"Zhao Jianqiang, what exactly do you mean? Are you really planning to make me work for that brat?"

"Let me tell you, if you want to do it, do it yourself. Don't expect me to suffer with you!"

In the back hall, Qin Yuezhu glared at Zhao Jianqiang and cursed.

She can talk a good game about filial piety, but when it comes to actually doing it, she has absolutely no interest.

Especially since this kind of work of cooking and preparing medicine is obviously something that servants do, how could a young lady like her do it herself?

However, Zhao Jianqiang not only stopped her from refusing, but also agreed directly, which naturally infuriated Qin Yuezhu.

Zhao Jianqiang did not answer immediately upon hearing this, but instead sneakily circled around the back hall.

She even opened the door to check outside, and only after confirming that Ye Bai and Shen Lu had really left and that there was no one else nearby did she breathe a sigh of relief and return.

"Honey, don't be angry. Have you forgotten about the plan? Now's the chance! As long as we secretly add something to this medicine, it'll be a sure thing that kid will be kicked out of the Qin family..."

Zhao Jianqiang's eyes were filled with malice, but his smile grew increasingly smug.

"...I was so angry with that little brat that I almost forgot!"

Qin Yuezhu was taken aback at first, but then she also became excited.

This bet doesn't matter much to the others; winning it would just mean they'd finally be free from seeing the despicable face of that adopted son of the Ye family.

Even if we lose, there will be virtually no loss.

But Qin Yuezhu and Zhao Jianqiang are different; if they lose, they will have to give up their six percent of the shares.

Although Old Madam Qin made it very clear that they would not be allowed to hand it over for nothing, but would be purchased at market price, the consequences would still be extremely serious!

Without their shares, they were completely kicked out of the Qin Group.

Not only will they no longer have power on the board, but they will also have absolutely no connection with any of the group's affairs from this day forward!

Therefore, even though Qin Yuezhu and Zhao Jianqiang felt they had a sure win in this bet, they dared not be careless in the slightest.

To be on the safe side, they even consulted Qin Shengtu, the most resourceful of their brothers and sisters, asking him to come up with a foolproof solution.

Qin Shengtu did not disappoint them. After thinking it over, he came up with a plan.

That is to find an opportunity to add other medicines to the decoction prepared by Ye Bai, thereby destroying the original medicinal effect.

Of course, Qin Shengtu wasn't so audacious as to dare kill Old Madam Qin. The drugs that Qin Yuezhu and the others added weren't poison, but just some laxatives.

If the old lady takes the medicine and it not only has no effect but also causes diarrhea, then they can naturally kill Ye Bai and kick him out of the Qin family on the spot.

And now that idiot Ye Bai is actually asking them to help brew the medicine, it's practically like throwing their lives away for nothing.

"What are you waiting for? Get started!"

Seeing that Zhao Jianqiang hadn't made a move for a while, Qin Yuezhu impatiently began to urge him on.

"Um... how much should we put in?"

Zhao Jianqiang took out a small bag of powdered medicine from his pocket, then hesitated.

After all, Old Madam Qin is getting on in years. If she were to eat too much and get sick, the serious consequences would be something that he, as Qin's son-in-law, could not bear.

But if the quantity is insufficient and there is no effect, it means their plan has failed.

Therefore, controlling the dosage is a major challenge.

"Put them all inside!"

A fierce glint flashed in Qin Yuezhu's triangular eyes as she made her decision.

Then, whether to comfort himself or to persuade Zhao Jianqiang, he added another sentence.

"The old lady is in good health; a few bouts of diarrhea won't cause her any problems!"

Zhao Jianqiang shuddered upon hearing this, but without further hesitation, he quickly stepped forward, opened the medicine jar, and poured in the entire small bag of powder.

To avoid Ye Bai noticing anything amiss, he even stirred it a bit.

Finally, they even wiped away the last bit of powder remaining at the mouth of the medicine pot.

Mission accomplished! Flawless!

Qin Yuezhu and Zhao Jianqiang both nodded in satisfaction and began to look forward to it with excitement.

What they didn't expect was that the whole scene was captured on surveillance cameras, allowing Qin Wanqing and Feng Gu to see it clearly on the screen.

"Miss, they've gone too far!"

Feng Gu was the first to lose her temper, her eyes almost spitting fire, filled with rage.

Because the Qin family was wealthy and powerful, the surveillance cameras she installed not only had extremely high-definition image quality, but also included microphones.

Sounds within fifty meters can be heard clearly!

Therefore, not only can you see Qin Yuezhu and Zhao Jianqiang's actions on this screen, but their conversation is also transmitted word for word!

As a daughter and son-in-law, to disregard his mother's safety like this is utterly inhuman!

"They really are my third aunt and uncle! It seems I was too soft-hearted before!"

Qin Wanqing's gaze was icy, and her pretty face was equally frosty.

Out of consideration for their kinship, she had always turned a blind eye to what these people were doing.

Having spent so much time with Old Madam Qin, she knew better than anyone how much the old lady valued family ties.

For an elderly person, power and wealth are worthless.

Family and kinship are the things I care about most.

If fraternity were to truly break apart, the first person to be unable to bear it would be Old Madam Qin.

So no matter how outrageous these elders were, Qin Wanqing always chose to tolerate them for her grandmother's sake.

But now it seems that her tolerance has not only failed to bring any reward, but has also emboldened these people to become even more brazen!

Not only are they plotting against her in secret, but they don't even care about the life or death of Old Madam Qin anymore!

Is it something a daughter would do to give her own mother laxatives?

Anyone with even a shred of conscience would never do such a thing!

"Miss, I'll go out and bring them here right away, and I'll throw the medicine away while I'm at it!"

Feng Gu snorted angrily, and a fierce aura began to emanate from her body.

She is not only the housekeeper of the Qin family manor, but also the personal bodyguard of Old Madam Qin.

In terms of skill, even Shen Lu, that "little tyrannosaurus," is far inferior to her.

"No need yet."

Qin Wanqing pondered for a few seconds, then took a deep breath and shook her head.

Then, before Feng Gu could ask any questions, she continued, "Just make sure Grandma doesn't take this medicine. As for dealing with them, we can do that after Grandma recovers."

Old Madam Qin's current physical condition is simply unable to withstand any stimulation.

Even if Qin Wanqing was furious, she could only endure it for a while longer.

Fortunately, now that we have the evidence, Qin Yuezhu and Zhao Jianqiang can no longer deny it.

In addition, Qin Wanqing also wanted to take this opportunity to give Ye Bai a good talking-to.

To survive in a top-tier wealthy family like the Qin family, confidence alone is far from enough!
