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

"The grove?"

Shen Lu's little ears perked up, and her gaze toward Han Mengmeng grew increasingly hostile.

She was already thinking about whether she should quickly send a message to the prostitute to complain.

If it were someone else, she wouldn't have thought much of it.

But this girl's appearance was so outstanding that she was no less beautiful than Qin Wanqing, which made the little girl feel a sense of crisis instantly.

Moreover, the term "grove" sounds rather improper; who would want to wander into such a place?

Before she could make a move, Ye Bai shook his head and said, "No need for all that trouble. Just say what you need to say here."

He wasn't afraid of being misunderstood by Qin Wanqing; he was simply too lazy to waste time.

"How about we go sit over on the playground? It's very close by..."

A strange light flashed in Han Mengmeng's clear, beautiful eyes. This was the first time in her life that a man had rejected her suggestion.

"alright."

Ye Bai nodded somewhat helplessly; there were indeed quite a few people downstairs in the girls' dormitory building.

Although virtually no one knows him, Han Mengmeng is clearly a celebrity at Jingzhou University.

The two of them standing together not only attracted the attention of countless people, but even many students began to point and whisper.

This was certainly not pleasant for Ye Bai, who always preferred a low-key and quiet life.

Soon, the two sat down on the steps at the edge of the playground.

Shen Lu sat on a swing not far away, sneakily trying to eavesdrop.

Although the playground was much more normal than the grove of trees, she still dared not let her guard down.

A woman's intuition told her that the charm of a girl like Han Mengmeng was something no normal man could resist.

The son-in-law might be able to stop it once, but he might not be able to stop it a second time.

Unless something is abnormal.

As a qualified maid, one must help the young lady keep an eye on the young master.

Otherwise, if such a good son-in-law is snatched away by someone else, where can we find a second one?

How is your relationship with Qin Wanqing?

Han Mengmeng suddenly asked a somewhat inexplicable question.

"Just so-so."

Ye Bai's heart skipped a beat, and he began to suspect that the girl might have been sent by Qin Wanqing to extract information from her.

He clearly remembered that Qin Wanqing had asked him to bring her a gift last time.

This means that they must have a very good relationship.

However, Ye Bai was never too lazy to lie, so he simply chose to tell the truth.

His relationship with Qin Wanqing was essentially a mutually beneficial transaction, with almost no feelings involved.

If I had to name someone, they would be friends, but only the kind I've just met and don't know very well.

"So what do you think of me?"

Han Mengmeng was not surprised by Ye Bai's answer and said calmly.

"What do you mean?"

Ye Bai was a little confused and couldn't react for a moment.

"I mean, how about I marry you if you divorce Qin Wanqing?"

Han Mengmeng gently tucked her hair behind her ear and said calmly.

When it came to such a life-changing event, the girl showed absolutely no emotional fluctuation.

Ye Bai, on the other hand, was dumbfounded and completely bewildered.

This girl kept pulling him aside to talk about something; could it be that she wanted to marry him?

"why?"

After the initial shock, Ye Bai became somewhat curious about Han Mengmeng's motives.

Of course it couldn't be some nonsense about falling in love at first sight; only a fool would believe that.

Han Mengmeng's actions must have had another purpose.

"I'll give you time to think it over carefully."

Han Mengmeng did not answer, but instead stood up and gracefully left.

Only Ye Bai, still completely bewildered, stood there staring blankly at Han Mengmeng's graceful back.

He now strongly suspects that this ethereal girl, who seems like a fairy, has something wrong with her mind.

"Young master, what did that little vixen say to you?"

Seeing Ye Bai looking somewhat absent-minded, Shen Lu ran over angrily and asked.

She had tried her best to eavesdrop, but the distance was still a bit far.

In addition, there were other noises on the playground, so she didn't hear Ye Bai and Han Mengmeng's conversation.

"It's nothing, she probably wants me to help her get treatment."

Ye Bai finally came to his senses, shook his head, and didn't take this little incident to heart.

There are many mentally unstable people in this world, and Han Mengmeng may just be one of them.

……

"Ye Bai! What exactly did you feed your aunt and uncle? They were severely dehydrated and spent half a day in the hospital trying to save them; they almost died!"

As soon as Ye Bai and Shen Lu returned to the Qin family, the Qin brothers, Qin Shengtu and Qin Shengfeng, angrily confronted him and began to interrogate him.

Qin Shengtu was somewhat better off, after all, he was extremely shrewd and calculating; at this moment, he only had a gloomy and unpleasant expression.

Qin Shengfeng, who was hot-tempered and brainless, almost jumped up, spitting everywhere.

"Fifth Uncle, Sixth Uncle, you're wronging me. It was Third Aunt and Third Uncle who agreed to try the medicine themselves, and they even prepared the medicine themselves. What does it have to do with me if they get sick from it?"

Ye Bai pursed his lips, having anticipated this scene.

Although the elders of the Qin family may feel guilty, they often resort to the tactic of turning the tables and blaming others.

It seems that as long as they do this, no one will know about the dirty deeds they do in secret.

But Ye Bai is not Qin Wanqing; he has no kinship ties with the Qin family.

Trying to use these things to blackmail him is pure fantasy.

Therefore, Ye Bai immediately cleared himself of any wrongdoing.

Moreover, what he said was the truth; that is indeed the case.

If Qin Yuezhu and Zhao Jianqiang don't tamper with the medicine, then even if they test the medicine, there won't be any problems; on the contrary, it might even be beneficial to their health.

As a result, he ended up in the hospital for emergency treatment. This is a classic case of "no zuo no die" (meaning someone who courts disaster).

They don't deserve any sympathy at all!

"You still want to make excuses and shirk responsibility? You prepared that medicine yourself, and the doctor said it was severe drug poisoning!"

"And you are the culprit! You had better admit your mistake honestly and try to get our forgiveness, otherwise the serious consequences will be something you can't afford!"

"If you could read even a few words, you would know how severe the punishment for poisoning is! Ten years is the minimum, it can even be life imprisonment or the death penalty!"

Qin Shengfeng gritted his teeth, his expression turning ferocious.

He wasn't actually heartbroken by the fates of Qin Yuezhu and Zhao Jianqiang.

In wealthy and powerful families, kinship has long become the rarest thing; only self-interest is the mainstream.

In a sense, siblings are all competitors.

Qin Yuezhu and her husband were idiots. They knew they had been drugged but still went to test the drug. They deserved to die from it.

But the key question is, since both Qin Yuezhu and her husband had problems with the food, why did the older Qin matriarch not show any unusual reactions?

Did this kid not give the old lady any medicine at all, or did he already realize their conspiracy?

If it's the latter, then things will be a bit troublesome; they'll have to pin the blame on the other party first!

That way, even if the matter reaches Old Madam Qin, all the responsibility can be shifted to Ye Bai.
