Chapter 237: The General is Sick, He Just Needs a Good Beating (33)
Translator: asassin
Huo Jun doesn’t believe the Sixth Lady and sneers: “I’m just curious about why you changed you mind since you already laid your hands on her?”

The old doctor has told him that every kind of medicine in the original knots is good. However, put together, they might not have any effect in the short run but can make a person irritable, even shorten one’s life expectancy in the long term.

That is a cunning move since the scent on the threads that make the knots will dissolve over time.

When its effect begins to show, the evidence will be gone.

Ah Zhao wasn’t supposed to show any symptoms in such a short time.

She did because of what the Sixth Lady sent her later.

The scented tea and the two knots the Sixth Lady gave Ah Zhao the second time were real good stuff, made of carefully selected medicine which worked as an antidote to the poison in the original knots.

It should have passed without anyone noticing. However, pitifully, the Sixth Lady overestimated Ah Zhao’s health conditions.

If it was a normal healthy person, the poison would have been got rid of quietly. However, Ah Zhao’s body had a violent reaction to it.

That alarmed Huo Jun and he finally found the person behind it.

The Sixth Lady’s eyelashes flutter. She realizes Huo Jun knows everything now.

She smiles calmly. “Well, why did I change my mind? Probably because I am old and my heart has grown tenderer.”

Or, probably because the young lady looks about the same age as her own daughter.

Or, probably because the young lady looked at her with her pure and innocent eyes, considering Xian Xian’s needs, that the young lady felt sorry for Xian Xian for not having what she deserved. That touched her.

So, she changed her mind and took away the two poisoned knots and sent Ah Zhao another two.

However, she doesn’t expect that moment of kindness will ruin her years of effort.

Not getting an answer from her, Huo Jun stares at her coldly: “Well, Sixth Lady, can you explain to me about my abrupt loss of consciousness and acting all crazy over the years?”

She feels a sudden rush, then answers calmly: “I don’t know what you are talking about, General.”

Her reaction is immaculate. However, Huo Jun isn’t easy to deal with either.

When he suspects someone, he won’t miss a tiny hint.

The Sixth Lady has kept a low profile in the manor for the past few years. No one senses her presence, nor notices her.

Huo Jun never suspected the symptoms he started to have after he was 18 was created by a person.

He didn’t since his father, the old general had the same symptoms in the last few years of his life so he thought it was a hereditary disease, until yesterday when he had a long talk with the old doctor in the study.

In a fleeting moment, as he listened to the old doctor, he started to connect what the doctor said with himself.

That was when he first told someone about his own symptoms. After many questions, he was generally sure that his symptoms were created by someone else instead of inherited.

Therefore, he asked his trusted subordinates to search the places he usually stayed for anything suspicious when he himself went to the Sixth Lady.

He looks at her seriously. “You should know that I didn’t doubt you before and I didn’t investigate. Now that I do, do you think you can fool me any longer?”

He looks confident and proud, as if he knows everything.

The Sixth Lady can’t be more familiar with that look.

Her eyes are on him for a long time. Slowly, she turns indignant as if she is provoked.

She bursts out laughing, so hard, with tears running out of her eyes. The elegant and beautiful woman finally gets rid of her perfect disguise and shows her rotten heart.

“Hah hah, I did it all. I wanted that bastard Huo Huai Ying dead! Yeah, I wanted more than that. I want his son dead, too! I want Huo Family to have no offspring. I want this whole manor doomed!”
