He stood up, closed the door, sneaked out from the back door, carefully avoiding everyone, and came to the kitchen.
There were many prepared dishes in the kitchen, and there was a tray with three or four other dishes. Those dishes were exquisite dishes, which were specially prepared for Wang Jin at the request of Yue Ge'er, using the excuse of wanting to clear up the misunderstanding with Wang Jin.
All the food here was prepared by the chief, Zhen Ge'er, Jia Ge'er and Yu Ge'er. Yue Ge'er deliberately did not handle it and completely excluded himself.
Now... he had come here without anyone knowing.
Yue Ge'er held the small cloth bag and slowly approached the tray of food. If he put poison in the food, no one would know it was done by him unless Xi Ge'er recognized the poison.
Today, Xige has gone to the safe zone to collect herbs. Winter is approaching, and Xige needs to prepare the herbs in advance, so he won't be able to come back in a short while.
He also waxed the banquet tables and chairs in advance, so that when Wang Jin took the poisoned food, he would die of the poison... When everyone was panicking, he burned the place and Wang Jin's body together, so that when Xi Ge'er came back, he would not be able to determine what poison Wang Jin was poisoned with...
And everyone will witness the whole process... and become witnesses of his innocence...
His plan was seamless.
As long as the poison is administered properly, everything will be over.
Yue Ge'er sat down at the table, looking at the tray on the table, his fingertips trembling so much that he could hardly hold the cloth bag in his hands.
His heart was beating so hard that it seemed to be hitting his chest, almost breaking through his skin and flesh, and bursting out of his chest cavity. He didn't know whether he was more nervous or excited at this moment...
He used his other hand to steady his shaking right hand and sprinkled the powder in the cloth bag evenly on the food.
Watching the powder slowly blending into the dish, he seemed to see his success just around the corner.
However…
"What are you doing?!" A sudden shout came from the door, startling Yue Ge'er so much that the cloth bag in his hand dropped on the table.
He came back to his senses, hurriedly picked up the cloth bag and hid it in his sleeve. When he looked up, he saw Yu Ge'er pushing the door and approaching in a hurry, holding a wine jug in his hand.
He walked forward, held Yue Ge'er's wrist with one hand, stared at the tray on the table and asked, "What did you put in the dish just now?"
"I..." Yue Ge'er's lips were trembling with nervousness, and he stammered back, "I didn't... didn't... didn't put anything in?"
"Didn't you put anything in?" Yu Ge'er squinted at Yue Ge'er in front of him. The boy's face was pale, and he couldn't hide the panic between his brows.
"Why are you so panicked when nothing was added?" Yu Ge'er put the wine jug on the table, picked up the dish and smelled it. It seemed that he didn't smell anything unusual. He frowned in confusion.
"This dish was prepared for Ah Jin. You added something in it..." Yu Ge'er suddenly realized and looked at Yue Ge'er and said, "You didn't put poison in it, did you?!"
Yue Ge'er's body trembled, and the cloth bag he was holding fell out of his sleeve again. He wanted to break away from Yu Ge'er to pick it up, but the man picked it up before him.
He held the inconspicuous cloth bag and took a look at it. His sharp eyes spotted the two words that Yue Ge'er had originally embroidered on the opening of the bag - Broken Heart.
