Chapter 975 The Last Kindness of Famous Dishes in the Restaurant
Zhang Miaotong coughed as she hurriedly drank water, but choked on it again, her nose and eyes streaming down her face...
The incessant coughing aggravated the injury on her back, causing it to reopen and bleed. Zhang Miaotong clenched her fists in pain, her face contorted into a bitter expression, and her forehead covered in beads of sweat.
Seeing that Zhang Miaotong was coughing nonstop, Granny Chang wanted to pat Zhang Miaotong's back to help relieve her cough.
As soon as he reached out, he saw that the dark red bloodstains that were already there, which had dried, were now seeping new crimson blood around them...
Granny Chang silently withdrew her outstretched hand.
Zhang Miaotong coughed for a while, and then took a few sips of water between coughs before she could catch her breath.
Looking at the still plenty of food in front of me... these are all famous dishes from Xiaofeng Restaurant. If I don't eat more now, I don't know if I'll have any to eat next time!
Despite the pain, Zhang Miaotong picked up her chopsticks again and started eating, but she no longer dared to be as ferocious as before!
Or perhaps they've already eaten quite a bit, and their stomachs are full, so they're not as eager to eat as before.
Zhang Miaoying watched as Zhang Miaotong continued eating, then looked away.
At first, Zhang Miaoying thought the medicine in the food had taken effect so quickly, but it turned out that wasn't the case.
That's true; you can't make murder too obvious or blatant.
Although, as soon as someone from their Second Assistant Minister's Office dies, people will immediately associate it with Prince Yi, Xiao Jingyu, killing them to cover it up!
No matter what Xiao Jingyu does or what methods he chooses, he cannot shake off the suspicion that he killed someone to cover it up.
Even if he was destined to be suspected of murder to cover it up, he would never use such a method, no matter what, because eating the food that was delivered would result in immediate death.
Even if the food was poisoned, they should at least be allowed to live a few more hours before they die.
Finally, even if everyone knew who was responsible for the murder, the extra hours they lived gave him an excuse to deny it.
Having figured out the key to it, Zhang Miaoying closed her eyes and felt a chill creep into her heart, as if she had instantly fallen into an ice cave.
"Miss, wouldn't you like some?"
Seeing that Zhang Miaoying still hadn't touched her chopsticks, Granny Chang had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk over again, asking softly.
"So, Granny, you've accepted a task you can't avoid completing?"
"This food... you have to watch me eat it, right?"
Zhang Miaoying looked at Granny Chang, who had returned, smiled slightly, and said in a low voice with a hint of mockery.
"Ah...haha...that...that...Miss is right!"
Granny Chang could easily understand the meaning behind Zhang Miaoying's words, but she had no choice but to laugh it off and say a few words in response!
"The old master and old lady of the family... they... they are usually frugal, but today they have gone to great lengths to arrange such a good meal for my aunt and my cousin."
If they ask me about the food I brought...did Miss Biao eat it?
How can this servant possibly respond?
If they found out...if they found out that Miss Biao didn't do anything...they...they would feel terrible!
Zhang Miaoying wanted to laugh again!
This Granny Chang has a rather interesting way of speaking!
She said the Wang family was usually frugal, or rather, extremely stingy, to the extreme!
They only know how to take advantage of others; if they don't get enough advantage, they feel like they've lost out!
They themselves are incredibly stingy—not giving a single penny!
But as for today's matter...
It doesn't matter if the Wang family is stingy; others are generous!
The Wang family is unwilling to spend money, but others are willing to!
For example... Xiao Jingyi.
As they were about to embark on their final journey, he treated them to one last meal at Xiaofeng Restaurant... Xiao Jingyi was willing to spend that little bit of money!
Zhang Miaoying finally loosened her arms from hugging her knees, slowly stretched out her numb legs, moved them gently, and then pounded them with her fists.
Once the needle-like pain in her legs subsided, Zhang Miaoying looked up at Granny Chang and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Granny, I'll make sure you complete the task. I won't make things difficult for you!"
Zhang Miaoying leaned forward, got close to Granny Chang's ear, and whispered, "My maternal grandparents' family is too stingy!"
They wouldn't be willing to spend this money unnecessarily on us!
Someone else sent you these items and food.
Come to think of it... letting us have one last meal at Xiaofeng Restaurant, it's like... that person's last act of kindness, isn't it?
Upon hearing Zhang Miaoying's words, Granny Chang stiffened, quickly forcing a smile as she asked, "What makes you say that, Miss?"
Even if the Wang family is... even if they are... they are still family, they... they..."
"All right!"
Zhang Miaoying raised her hand to interrupt Granny Chang before she could continue speaking, then leaned back against the fence, looking at Granny Chang with an unusually calm and indifferent expression.
"Don't be nervous, Granny. I don't mind at all. On the contrary, I think it's great!"
Besides, dying from overeating is better than dying from starvation!
Besides... at least this way he can at least have a complete corpse, right, Granny?
