CHAPTER 865: CHAPTER 339: SCREW YOUR TRAGIC BEAUTY (PART 9)_2

Mr. Tian and Old Lady Han wanted to sell the eldest daughter offhandedly, but feared that the stubborn girl was too strong, and the plan wouldn’t succeed.

"There’s no pharmacy in this desolate area; otherwise, we could have fed her some croton seeds to weaken her through diarrhea until all her strength faded!"

Old Lady Han grumbled, fuming as she cooked.

Her words reminded Mr. Tian, who suddenly recalled the word "poisonous mushroom" in his mind.

"... No laxative, but if she eats poisonous mushrooms, as long as the dose isn’t too large, it shouldn’t be fatal!"

Mr. Tian’s eyes lit up; he hadn’t forgotten that yesterday He Xiaobao collected quite a few mushrooms in the woods.

This forest is so vast, surely there must be one or two kinds of poisonous mushrooms.

Mr. Tian thought to himself as he leisurely entered the woods with his tobacco pipe.

By sheer coincidence, he found some brightly colored mushrooms near a decayed tree stump.

He didn’t know if they were poisonous, but he remembered the doctor once said that mushrooms with overly bright colors are mostly poisonous.

So Mr. Tian decided to give it a try.

Just give Ms. Hetian a little bit; it shouldn’t be a big problem.

If there is an issue, as long as she doesn’t die immediately, Mr. Tian has a way to get a hunter to dispose of her.

If the poison is too strong and Ms. Hetian dies instantly... so be it, although it means losing some money, it also removes a root of trouble!

And if Ms. Hetian dies from eating poisonous mushrooms, even if the government investigates, it won’t trace back to Mr. Tian.

... Mr. Tian had thought of every possibility.

The best scenario and the worst outcome, he was prepared for them all.

Everything was ready, just waiting for Ms. Hetian to drink the bowl of soup mixed with poisonous mushroom shreds!

Ms. Hetian:... Please, I’m not stupid!

Once she discovered the red mushroom and felt once again her parents’ viciousness, the last shred of fantasy and warmth in Ms. Hetian’s heart disappeared completely.

She closed her eyes tightly, truly, she couldn’t be blamed for being unfilial!

Some people simply aren’t fit to be parents.

Fatherly love, filial piety from the son; motherly love, filial piety from the daughter!

It all stems from cause and effect.

Parents planted the evil seed, and as the daughter, whatever she did was just the cycle of cause and effect!

"Yaozong, you eat! After all, you are the lifeblood of our family!"

Ms. Hetian made up her mind, feeling a lightness in her soul.

It was as if the last shackle binding her soul had shattered!

She lifted her head with a trademark fawning smile and directly pushed the bowl of soup toward Tian Yaozong.

Tian Yaozong wasn’t aware of the situation inside, only feeling it was natural for his family to let him eat first.

Though it wasn’t any big fish or meat, just a bland wild vegetable soup, the privilege of "eating first" was exclusively his at the Tian family.

This "rule" couldn’t be broken.

Tian Yaozong nodded with satisfaction and was about to drink the soup bowl.

"Yaozong!"

"Don’t drink it!"

Mr. Tian and Old Lady Han almost shouted in a panic.

Tian Yaozong was so startled that he almost dropped the bowl of soup.

"What’s the shouting about? Isn’t it just a bowl of soup? What? Does our Old Tian’s Family really intend to treat a married-off woman like a mistress?"

Earlier at noon, Tian Yaozong was already displeased.

He had gone to great lengths pretending to be sick, yet reaped nothing, and gave Tian Daniu a chance to act up.

Though he didn’t say it, he was inwardly displeased.

Just now, his mother served the soup, but the first bowl wasn’t given to him; instead, it went to Tian Daniu, the useless one, making Tian Yaozong even more annoyed.

Fortunately, though his mother was confused, Tian Daniu knew the "rules" and quickly passed the first bowl to him.

Tian Yaozong felt slightly more satisfied.

Still, his parents yelled!

What on earth were they thinking?

Did they really believe their daily sweet talk coaxing Tian Daniu?

Treat Tian Daniu as someone of importance?

The more Tian Yaozong thought, the angrier he became. In a fit of rebelliousness, he deliberately brought the soup bowl to his lips.

You won’t let me drink?

Then I’ll drink!

"It’s poisoned, don’t drink!"

Seeing their precious son put the soup bowl against his lips, ready to drink, Old Lady Han couldn’t hold back any longer and shouted the truth.

Mr. Tian said nothing, but swiftly stood up and quickly swept his arm, flinging the soup bowl away.

Clang!

The bowl shattered, and soup spilled all over the floor.

"P-poisoned?" Tian Yaozong was so frightened his eyes were wide, staring at the soup puddle on the ground as if looking at some monstrous poison.
