Kapitel 288

Yu Xiaoyao laughed and said, "Do you think that the girl you picked up has 268 kinds of poisons? Let me tell you, I raised Huihui with poison. Other people's children drink milk and eat food, but she eats all kinds of poisons. From childhood to adulthood, she has ingested at least 3,000 catties of poison, if not 5,000 catties!"

Madam Wan's face turned pale: "Then... then what should we do?"

Yu Xiaoyao said, "It's nothing serious! It's just that this child is poisonous from head to toe, skin and flesh. He looks fine now, but he won't live past twenty."

Everyone's hearts sank. They finally understood why everyone else had collapsed except for Zhu Huihui—it wasn't because Yu Xiaoyao had shown mercy, but because Zhu Huihui was a master poisoner who had been feeding on poison since childhood, so how could he have been poisoned?

Zhu Huihui collapsed to the ground with a thud, her heart filled with grief and indignation. Damn it! That old hag is too cruel! She actually... she actually harmed her own daughter!

Madam Wan forced a smile and said, "You raised Huihui with your own hands. Even if you are cruel... you wouldn't... and you shouldn't do such a thing... right... right?"

Yu Xiaoyao turned her head, smiled, and repeated, "Is that so?"

Mr. Chen suddenly muttered in a low voice, "Lustful!"

Madam Wan immediately recalled that at Qingfengya, that lecherous man had pricked Zhu Huihui's brow with a silver needle, then licked away the blood from the needle... Thinking of the lecherous man's gruesome death, even Madam Wan, with her vast experience, couldn't help but shudder. He had been poisoned by that child's blood! That poison... it was so potent...

Yu Xiaoyao wasn't lying! Her last glimmer of hope was extinguished, and she felt a wave of dizziness, almost fainting.

Maple Snow Color also remembered something at this moment. On the night that Xi Ye Yan was attacked by Yan Shen Han, Xi Ye Yan saw a large amount of blood gushing out on the shore of Dongting Lake. At the time, he thought that someone had poisoned Zhu Hui Hui. It turned out that it was actually something that Zhu Hui Hui herself had in her body. He had previously thought that Kazama Yoru had secretly done it...

Chen Mobai looked at Madam Wan, then at the bewildered Zhu Huihui, and felt extremely sad: "Child, come and hug your mother."

Zhu Huihui reached out and hugged Madam Wan, then naturally took Mr. Chen's arm.

Mr. Chen's gaze was heavy with sorrow as he stared at Zhu Huihui. Her slightly chubby face still held a childlike innocence, pink and round like two little dumplings, so adorable that one wanted to pinch them. Heavens above! We, husband and wife, have dedicated our lives to healing and saving lives. Is Heaven truly so cruel, decreeing that our beautiful daughter will not live past twenty?

Seeing the couple's dejected expressions, Yu Xiaoyao felt a surge of joy and smiled slightly: "Mo Bai, I haven't mistreated your daughter all these years!"

Chen Mobai snorted: "You treated my daughter so cruelly, beating and scolding her all the time. So this is how you treat her well!"

Yu Xiaoyao laughed and said, "Zhu Huihui, have you been living a happy life these past few years?"

Zhu Huihui was initially bewildered by the sudden change of mother, and upon hearing that she might not live past twenty, her fear and resentment overshadowed the confusion and sadness brought about by the drastic change in her background. She angrily replied, "So what if it's good? So what if it's bad?"

Yu Xiaoyao suddenly smiled again: "Mo Bai, don't you like hypocritical and pretentious so-called ladies? Ask Huihui, from childhood to adulthood, have I taught her music, chess, calligraphy, painting, astronomy, geography, literature, martial arts, medicine, divination, and astrology?"

If you had really taught her music, chess, calligraphy, painting, astronomy, geography, literature, martial arts, medicine, divination, and astrology, would Zhu Huihui still be the ignorant and incompetent good-for-nothing she is now?

Everyone looked at Zhu Huihui with pity, and no one believed Yu Xiaoyao's words.

To everyone's surprise, Zhu Huihui scratched his head, his face as bitter as a gourd: "I've taught you!"

Feng Xuese sighed, "Yes! Senior did teach her, but deliberately let her do as she pleased, never disciplined her, and even misled her. A perfectly good child has become ignorant, unruly, and can't even recognize a few characters. This is all thanks to you!" What's most hateful is that you taught her to treat bathing like a nightmare. The mud on her face is thicker than her skin, and she's so dirty that you can't even tell she's a girl.

Yu Xiaoyao laughed: "Aren't you quite amusing? You're so focused on pursuing a lady from a prestigious family, yet your daughter is worse than a street thug. Haha, what a brilliant irony!"

Everyone fell silent. This woman was truly insane; she would resort to such methods to get revenge on Chen Wan and her husband. Huihui, such a bright child, had fallen into this madwoman's hands and been turned into such a monstrous child. Fortunately, the child was ultimately kind-hearted and hadn't become as vicious as that madwoman.

Everyone felt indignant on Zhu Huihui's behalf, but Zhu Huihui herself seemed lost in thought. After talking for a while, her initial anger and sadness gradually subsided—this was, of course, thanks to Yu Xiaoyao, who had raised the child to be so carefree and easygoing. If anyone else had encountered such a situation, wouldn't they have committed suicide by banging their head against a wall?

Yu Xiaoyao laughed for a while, then waved and called out, "Huihui, come here!"

Zhu Huihui walked over to her and said, "Mother!"

"Grey, do you hate your mother now?"

"Isn't that obvious? If it were you, wouldn't you hate it?"

Yu Xiaoyao wasn't angry at all, and laughed, "I only know that women are so heartless, so I won't prepare an antidote for you!"

Upon hearing this, everyone felt a sense of relief.

Zhu Huihui wasn't surprised at all, and urged, "Where's the antidote? Bring it to me quickly!"

"There are many kinds of poisons in the world that have no antidote, because the antidote is also a poison—do you understand?"

If someone else had said this, Zhu Huihui wouldn't have understood, but she had been raised by Yu Xiaoyao since she was a child, so how could she not understand her mother's words?

"Mother means that although there is a deadly poison in my body, this poison is actually also an antidote—wait, Mother, you don't mean I have to drink my own blood, do you?" Damn it! This mother of mine is too ruthless!

Yu Xiaoyao looked at Chen Muwan with a smile: "Huihui, do you know this young lady?"

"Miss Mu? I know her!"

"Your antidote is this person."

Zhu Huihui's eyes widened: "What?"

Yu Xiaoyao strolled around with her hands behind her back and laughed, "This person was also poisoned with hundreds of kinds of poisons by my mother back then. The velvet on her body can cure the poison in your body!"

Everyone was once again stunned by Yu Xiaoyao's remarks.

In traditional Chinese medicine, there are examples of using human bodily substances as medicine, such as placenta, fingernails, ashes from burned hair, and urine sediment, which are used in different areas and have shown considerable efficacy. However, using human flesh and blood directly as an antidote is simply absurd!

Zhu Huihui was stunned. Did her mother mean she had to eat Chen Muwan? After a moment's thought, she immediately declared righteously, "Miss Muwan is innocent. I would rather die than harm her!"

Yu Xiaoyao was furious.

Damn it! She had painstakingly raised this girl for so many years, originally intending to raise her into a selfish, ruthless, cold-blooded, ignorant, heartless, short-sighted, wicked, cowardly, wicked, insane, and deserving-to-be-struck-by-hell good-for-nothing, so that she would drive those hypocritical and pretentious Chen Mobai and Wan Ning to their deaths. Who would have thought that this girl would be so disappointing? She had initially followed her wishes, growing up to be the way she wanted, but how come she had reverted to her old ways after only a short time away?

In a fit of anger, he slapped her across the face.

Zhu Huihui covered her head with both hands and tried to dodge, but just like the previous thousands of times, she still couldn't get away.

Zhu Huihui covered her face and said angrily, "You're never going to stop! If you hit me again, I'll start yelling at you!"

These words were extremely disobedient, but the little demon Yu actually turned her anger into joy and laughed heartily. Not bad! This was the child she wanted—beating her father, cursing her mother, betraying her master and ancestors…wait, why is she only cursing her own mother and not that vile woman Wan Ning?
