Allure of a Country Maiden-Chapter 715 - 713

Fu Ranhui’s maid couldn’t help but cover her face, watching Prince An walk ahead, then glancing back at her lady, who was lost in a trance looking at Shangguan Ruixi’s back. She shook her head, "My lady is hopeless!"

She reminded her lady in a low voice, "My lady, we’ve just looked at the tiger."

Fu Ranhui instantly blushed, "Why didn’t you remind me earlier?"

Her maid Huang Li showed a wronged expression, "I didn’t know you didn’t know, we just came from over there."

Fu Ranhui: This is so embarrassing!

Fu Ranhui couldn’t help but slow down her pace, feeling too awkward to continue touring. Looking up at the sky, she noticed that they had been here an entire afternoon. It had felt like they just got here.

At this time, there was a conflict in the area where the tiger was kept.

Seeing this, Shangguan Ruixi hurried over.

"Help! Please help my child!" A woman was crying, holding a boy with purplish lips and frothing at the mouth.

"He’s been poisoned, quickly get him to the clinic!" Someone shouted.

"This is the suburbs, it will take some time to get to the city. Can the child hold on till then?"

"What should we do then? Is there a doctor here?"

...

The onlookers were arguing back and forth.

"What kind of poison did you use? Quickly present the antidote! You can’t deny what you’ve done! I saw you cross the fence, walk to the side of the cage and tried to feed the tiger something. Then the child ran out from the other side, you got scared, dropped the thing, and ran! The child ate the beef jerky you dropped on the floor and got poisoned! Produce the antidote now!" Du Yijin, dragging Princess Ling’er’s maid, Ruxue, rushed to the child’s side and exclaimed loudly.

Everyone turned to her at her words, "Young lady, if you really did this, please present the antidote to save a life!"

"Yes, this child is suffering! Look at him."

The boy’s mother also knelt down and pleaded, "Miss, I beg you to save my son! Please produce the antidote!"

"You’re slandering me! It wasn’t me! It’s not my fault!" Ruxue was so scared that she turned pale. She had taken a look around earlier and saw no one nearby, which is why she dared to take out the poisonous beef jerky. Seeing a child suddenly rush out scared her into dropping the jerky and running. If she had known the child would have picked it up and eaten it, she would have never dared to drop it in the first place. She deeply regretted her impulse to dispose of the jerky earlier.

Her reaction was mostly due to the fear of this being her first devious act.

Princess Ling’er watched from a distance, almost dying of anger because of her maid! It was such a stupid mistake!

Even if she had been seen, she could have just run, why did she have to drop the poisonous beef jerky and leave the evidence behind?

"Stop lying, tell us if you have the antidote or not, what poison did you use? If you don’t speak up, and something happens to the child, you will be considered a murderer and put in jail."

"I’ve told you, you have the wrong person! It wasn’t me!" Seeing Du Yijin still holding on to her and more people gathering around, Ruxue grew anxious. She used all her strength to push Du Yijin away.

Caught off guard, Du Yijin was pushed back a few steps and bumped into Shangguan Ruixi who had just walked over.

Shangguan Ruixi instinctively put his hands on her shoulders to steady her. ƒгeewёbnovel.com

Realizing she had bumped into someone, Du Yijin quickly turned her head and asked, "I’m sorry, did I hurt you?"

The volume of Du Yijin’s words gradually decreased because the man she bumped into was too handsome, it made her slightly dazed.

But she quickly came back to her senses and before Shangguan Ruixi could speak, she quickly freed herself from his arms, ran after Ruxue who was trying to escape, and shouted, "Don’t run! You won’t get away without producing the antidote! Thinking of escaping your punishment!"

This zoo was owned by Sixth Prince’s wife, and Princess Ling’er’s maid caused trouble on its opening day. The Sixth Prince’s wife had been kind to her, and she wouldn’t let the real criminal escape.

If something happened to this boy at the zoo, it would definitely bring trouble to the Sixth Prince’s wife! Even if there was no trouble, it was a disturbance!

Although Du Yijin was a young mistress, her life for the past years had been much harder compared to Princess Ling’er’s maid, therefore she was physically stronger than Ruxue.

She quickly caught up with Ruxue and grabbed her arm firmly, preventing her from running.

"Are you mad dog? Stop clinging onto me, I’ve said it wasn’t me! You’ve got the wrong person!" Ruxue yelled at Du Yijin who had caught her.

She had clearly seen her from far taking out a package like she was up to no good and wanted to throw it to the tiger. She looked around and seeing the young boy, she dropped the meat and ran! The boy picked up the thing, realised it was jerky, and started eating. By the time she rushed to stop him, he had already taken a few bites!

Immediately after, he started clutching his stomach and yelling in pain. As soon as she saw it, she ran to catch her. And now she was saying that she had the wrong person, who was she trying to fool?!

"I didn’t get anyone wrong, it was you!"

Shangguan Ruixi looked at his empty arms, then at the girl who ran away from him without a second thought. His brow rose slightly, not many women in the world could recover so quickly from his charm. Ahem, not charm, attractiveness! Shangguan Ruixi touched his nose and thought.

At this moment, a staff member from the zoo came over with a bottle, "Madam, this is an antidote. Quickly give your son a pill!"

When the woman heard that it was an antidote, she did not doubt, took it over, hastily poured out a pill and fed it to the little boy, "Cai Zi, swallow it quickly."

Cai Zi, who was feeling unbearable stomach pain, quickly swallowed the pill after hearing his mother’s words. Even though he hated medicine, he swallowed it.

After swallowing the pill, he noticed it was different from the usual bitter pills. This one had a slight minty fragrance and was sweet.

Was this medicine or candy? As soon as this thought crossed his mind, the pain in his stomach began to subside as soon as the medicine went down.

Wow, it was a miraculous medicine! Not only tasted good, but also had quick results, nothing like the medicines his mother usually gave him.

Du Yijin again dragged Ruxue back to where the boy was. Seeing that the zoo staff had arrived and administered the antidote, she said to one of them, "I saw earlier that this girl... the boy ate the jerky she dropped and got poisoned. I leave her to you all to decide what to do!"

Du Yijin recounted what she had seen once more.

The bystanders started shouting:

"You’re such a good-looking young lady, but who knew you were so wicked inside!"

"Indeed! She wanted to poison the tiger on its opening day, how evil can she be!"

"Failed to poison the tiger, accidentally poisoned a person instead, and then refused to take responsibility, showed no remorse, and refused to bring out the antidote to save him. This is simply inhuman!"
