Ran Xiangsi and Xing Chen exchanged a glance, confusion written all over their faces.
"Mom, what’s going on?" Ran Xiangsi was the first to speak.
"It’s nothing, don’t be afraid. I’m here, and I’ll ensure justice for you!" Saying this, she called Xingtian over as well.
Ran Xiangsi was a bit bewildered. She looked back at Xing Chen, who seed grim but not worried. She leaned closer and asked in a hushed voice, "What’s happening? Mom seems to have gathered everyone here."
"It’s easier to clarify so things when everyone is together. Are you tired? Do you want to sit for a bit?"
"Yeah, a little..." Xiangsi nodded and, following Xing Chen’s lead, sat down on one side of the sofa.
They had walked a lot in the afternoon and visited the hospital in the evening, so she was indeed feeling a bit weary.
As soon as Ran Xiangsi sat down, Xiahou Xiu Yun imdiately ordered the servants to extinguish the incense and open the windows for ventilation, lest Xiangsi felt unwell again.
Xiahou Xiu Yun was unsure whether these things had any abortifacient properties.
In any case, as long as there was even a slight risk, she absolutely would not allow it!
Soon after, Xingtian and the old doctor arrived, followed shortly by Rebecca.
Xingtian, unaware of what was happening, asked as he walked into the hall, "What’s going on?"
Xiahou Xiu Yun didn’t explain, instead tossing the topic to Rebecca, "Ask her!"
Nad out of nowhere, Rebecca, feeling baffled, shrugged innocently, "? What did I do?"
Xiahou Xiu Yun had told her to leave before, so she hadn’t stayed longer.
She had just been preparing to go to bed when she was urgently called back.
She herself hadn’t figured out what was going on. Why was she being singled out right after coming?
Rebecca was confused, and so was Xingtian.
"Rebecca? What’s happening?"
Facing Xingtian’s question, Rebecca looked even more startled, "I don’t know, Uncle. What does Aunt an?"
Given Rebecca’s standing, Xingtian, who wanted to develop in Xi Country, had to show so respect and couldn’t question her directly. He turned to look at Xiahou Xiu Yun, not knowing what she intended to do.
But Xiahou Xiu Yun, unhurried and with a cold smile, said, "What do I an? Rebecca, that’s what I should be asking you! I never thought you’d dare to pull such a stunt under my nose."
Hearing this, Rebecca’s previously innocent eyes froze for half a second!
Damn! Could it be that Xiahou Xiu Yun had noticed sothing?
But her plan had just started, it shouldn’t have been detected so quickly!
Her heart was in turmoil, but Rebecca strove to keep calm, maintaining an extraordinary composure.
"I... I didn’t do anything! Aunt, could you be misunderstanding ?"
Knowing Rebecca would not admit it so easily, Xiahou Xiu Yun was prepared. She turned and took the incense, handing it to the old doctor.
"Doctor, please look at what this is."
The doctor took it, examined it closely, and sniffed it. Soon he said, "It’s musk, which has calming and soothing properties."
As the doctor finished, Xiahou Xiu Yun turned to Rebecca, "Is this the gift you gave Xiangsi?"
Rebecca’s face suddenly filled with fear. Inside, she thought, it’s over, I’ve been found out...
Lina had said it was a brilliant idea and that it would never be discovered!
