CHAPTER 519: CHAPTER 519: IT’S REALLY NOT ME!

Ning Nuan had already planned everything in her mind.

The bird’s nest was a gift from Little Aunt, and Yan Qianyi, after miscarrying, would surely blame Little Aunt.

Little Aunt could claim that she bought the bird’s nest herself, but Yan Qianyi would definitely not believe in Little Aunt’s innocence.

After all, Little Aunt had personally opened the bird’s nest gift box and personally served it into Yan Qianyi’s bowl.

The two of them already had a barrier between them, and knowing her own innocence, Little Aunt would think it was Yan Qianyi who was slandering her and would not suspect herself.

Little Aunt had always liked her very much, and it was Little Aunt who had urged her to strive for Brother Ah Lie.

Over the years, the positive image she had crafted for herself in Little Aunt’s heart would never let Little Aunt suspect that she had tampered with the bird’s nest.

Upon this thought, Ning Nuan’s lips slightly curved into a smile.

She seemed to have already seen Yan Qianyi’s pained and disheveled appearance from the miscarriage.

Causing Yan Qianyi to miscarry and sever ties with Little Aunt might also affect the wedding, which could not proceed as planned.

Through this incident, Little Aunt would surely continue to support her!

Yan Qianyi asked, "Are you sure I can drink it directly?"

Before Mu Huaner could answer, Ning Nuan eagerly replied, "Of course, it’s already cooked."

Yan Qianyi brought the bowl to her lips, about to drink, when Mu Huaner suddenly said, "Wait!"

Yan Qianyi smiled, lifting her head to look at Mu Huaner, "What’s wrong?"

Mu Huaner took the bowl from Yan Qianyi’s hands and examined it closely, puzzled, "This bird’s nest doesn’t look quite right."

Mu Huaner often ate bird’s nest, both stewed herself and pre-cooked purchased ones, so she was adept at judging its quality.

Ning Nuan forced a smile, "How can that be? It looks fine to me."

Mu Huaner said, "I eat bird’s nest every day, but the texture of this one looks a bit strange; never mind, let’s not eat it. It might upset the stomach. It seems better to stick to home-cooked ones from now on."

Seeing Mu Huaner put the bowl down, Ning Nuan felt a bit anxious, "Little Aunt, are you overthinking it? This bird’s nest was quite expensive, and it’s from a reputable, high-end brand bought in a department store. How... how could it be problematic?"

Mu Huaner said, "Price doesn’t determine quality. There are too many unscrupulous businesses nowadays. After all, Qianyi is pregnant, it’s better to be cautious."

Yet, Yan Qianyi picked up the bowl, raising an eyebrow at Ning Nuan, "Since you think there’s no problem, why don’t you try it first?"

Ning Nuan hesitated.

Though she was not pregnant, the drugs inside would affect fertility.

Her fertility was average, allowing her to bear children normally, but consuming the drugs in the bird’s nest would render her infertile.

Ning Nuan forced a smile, "Little Aunt has the experience; let’s listen to Little Aunt. Let’s not eat it."

Yan Qianyi coldly smiled, "Little Aunt indeed eats bird’s nest every day and can discern problems with its texture just by looking. Indeed, this bird’s nest had drugs added—colorless and tasteless, but the chemical reaction affected the texture."

Upon hearing this, both Mu Huaner and Ning Nuan were shocked.

Mu Huaner blankly said, "How could there be drugs added to the bird’s nest?"

"That’s something you should ask Ning Nuan," Yan Qianyi’s cold eyes turned towards Ning Nuan.

Mu Huaner had presented the bird’s nest, and she had immediately noticed the problem.

But she felt that it was unlikely that Mu Huaner had tampered with the bird’s nest.

Although the bird’s nest was bought by Mu Huaner, her sincere attitude today didn’t seem fake.

Moreover, the misunderstanding between them had already been cleared up.

The child she was carrying was ultimately Ah Lie’s, and even if Mu Huaner hated her, she shouldn’t harm the child in her womb.

Therefore, she did not directly expose her, as she wanted to see whether the problem with the bird’s nest lay with Mu Huaner or with Ning Nuan.

Fortunately, Mu Huaner had taken the initiative to say there was a problem with the bird’s nest.

Otherwise, by the time she found out, no matter how Mu Huaner explained, she wouldn’t have easily believed her, and they would have created enmity again.

"What do you mean?" Mu Huaner still hadn’t understood.

She could never have imagined, Ning Nuan, who had always been so well-behaved and kind in front of her since childhood, would do such a malicious thing to harm her.

Ning Nuan feigned ignorance, "I also didn’t understand what you meant, let’s go to the mall later and ask the boss what’s actually going on."

"It seems I haven’t spoken clearly enough," Yan Qianyi coldly laughed, heavily setting the bowl on the table, "The drug added to this bird’s nest, if I’m not mistaken, could cause me to have a miscarriage!"

Mu Huaner gasped sharply, finally grasping what Yan Qianyi meant.

She hastily shook her head, "Qianyi, it wasn’t me, the child you are carrying is the Mu Family’s blood, and the misunderstanding between us has already been cleared up, I couldn’t possibly want to harm you."

"Little aunt, don’t be nervous, I didn’t say it was you," Yan Qianyi said, her gaze coldly fixed on Ning Nuan.

Mu Huaner also looked towards Ning Nuan, finally realizing and incredulously said, "Nuannuan, this gift was bought by you on my behalf, so... did you tamper with the bird’s nest?! How could you..."

Ning Nuan’s eyes flashed with panic, "How could it be, it must be the unscrupulous vendor adding stuff, let’s throw it away immediately, I’ll go and argue with them right now."

Saying this, Ning Nuan reached out to take the bird’s nest in front of Yan Qianyi.

Yan Qianyi was quicker and picked up the bird’s nest, "Trying to destroy the evidence?"

Ning Nuan paused, "No... not at all, Qianyi, you really misunderstood, I... I’m going to complain to the vendor right now!"

After speaking, Ning Nuan took the remaining bird’s nest and turned to leave.

Upon lifting her head, she saw Mu Yunlie.

Mu Yunlie sensed the strange atmosphere and asked, "What happened?"

Yan Qianyi said, "Ah Lie, hold her back, she wants to harm me and cause me to have a miscarriage."

Mu Yunlie’s eyes darkened, and his look towards Ning Nuan instantly turned sinister.

Ning Nuan trembled with fear, "No... it’s really not me! Brother Ah Lie, this is just a misunderstanding!"

"Aunt Xue," Yan Qianyi instructed Aunt Xue, "go upstairs and fetch my silver needle."

"Okay!" Aunt Xue nodded and hurried upstairs.

"What exactly happened?" Mu Yunlie asked.

Ning Nuan didn’t dare speak, and Mu Huaner also nervously held her breath.

Although Mu Huaner was a senior to Mu Yunlie, she still felt afraid when Mu Yunlie got angry.

Yan Qianyi explained, "Little aunt and her came to visit me, bringing some gifts, this bird’s nest was bought by Ning Nuan for little aunt, and as I was about to drink it, little aunt noticed that the texture of the bird’s nest was somewhat strange, of course, I had actually noticed it already."

"Ah Lie! I really didn’t know there was a problem with the bird’s nest!" Mu Huaner hurriedly defended herself.

Mu Yunlie’s handsome face was tense, and he remained silent.

Yet unexpectedly, Yan Qianyi spoke up for Mu Huaner, "I believe little aunt."
