Chapter 246: Chapter 246: The Origin of Aunt Zhang (2)

"Hmm, delicious," An Yiqing opened her little mouth for a taste and her eyes lit up. This was the taste of her mother’s cooking.

She wiggled her small nose, sniffing the aroma of the porridge carefully. Then, she slowly furrowed her brows.

"What’s wrong? Is there something off with the taste of the porridge?" Kong Shi asked, somewhat concerned. Could it be her cooking skills were lacking?

"No, it’s not that," An Yiqing shook her head, using her nose to sniff again, "I just feel like there’s some strange scent." She looked around the room, puzzled. Why hadn’t she noticed it before and only after Kong Shi brought in the porridge?

An Yiqing’s eyes drifted slowly around the room. This was the bedroom of Kong Shi and An Zisheng, the room clean and neat, decorated mainly in white. Kong Shi was a woman who liked tranquility, and An Zisheng was a man of talent, so their bedroom was filled with many books and plants.

The girl started searching from one corner of the room, as if something had gradually begun to emerge from beneath the surface.

Kong Shi sat quietly on the sofa, following the girl’s movements with her eyes. She didn’t speak, afraid of interrupting An Yiqing’s line of thought.

After about twenty minutes, An Yiqing had searched most of the room and finally stopped in front of the balcony.

This was an indoor balcony styled like a flower garden, where Kong Shi always kept some plants and flowers. She tended to them with great care every day.

"Mom, where did these two pots of flowers come from?" An Yiqing asked, pointing to two plants with purple petals.

"These two?" Kong Shi walked over for a closer look and said, "Oh, these were given to me by Aunt Li."

"Aunt Li?" An Yiqing frowned, then she called Aunt Li to come up with a phone call.

"Aunt Li, where did you buy these two pots of flowers?"

Aunt Li blinked in confusion and said, "I bought them at the flower and bird market. What’s the matter, Miss?"

"Do you recognize this type of flower? Why did you choose them?" An Yiqing continued to ask, her voice steady and calm, revealing no emotion.

"That day, Aunt Zhang and I went to the market to buy some bowls and plates, and we happened to pass by the flower and bird market, so we took a look. Aunt Zhang said these flowers are beneficial for health, can refresh the mind and stimulate the brain, so I bought them back. Miss, is there an issue with the flowers...?" Aunt Li looked at An Yiqing with some concern.

Upon hearing Aunt Li’s words, An Yiqing’s eyes flickered, and a sharp glint flashed through the depths of her dark pupils. Her expression unchanged, she smiled and said, "It’s nothing, I was just asking casually. Aunt Li, please keep this matter secret and don’t tell Aunt Zhang."

Aunt Li nodded and left with the tray that An Yiqing had finished using.

"Aunt Li, wait a second," the girl suddenly called out to Aunt Li, looking thoughtfully at the porridge bowl on the tray, "Did you say that day you went to buy bowls and dishes with Aunt Zhang?"

Aunt Li nodded and said, "Yes, Aunt Zhang mentioned that the old bowls and dishes were worn and using them for too long is not good for our health. She had been to the clinic, so I thought she must know a thing or two. That’s why I went with her to buy some."

"Hmm, I see. Thank you, Aunt Li. You may go now," An Yiqing said with a slight smile, politely seeing Aunt Li out.

...

In the deep of night, a strange figure leapt lightly down from the second floor of the An Family Mansion and slipped into the kitchen. After a short while, the figure slipped away.

In her bedroom, An Yiqing laid out the bowls and plates she had brought out from the kitchen onto the table. She had been wondering why she hadn’t smelled anything if Aunt Zhang had put poison in Kong Shi’s medicine. It wasn’t until today, when she drank the porridge in Kong Shi’s bedroom that she somewhat understood. Some poisons don’t need to be added to the medicine; the bowls and dishes that often touch one’s lips can also serve as a medium for poison.
