The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot
Chapter 431 - Chapter 431 Chapter 431 Heart Blood

Chapter 431: Chapter 431 Heart Blood Chapter 431: Chapter 431 Heart Blood As soon as Li Yiqiu spoke, everyone was stunned, and their attention focused solely on her.

Although everyone didn’t know whether Li Yiqiu did it intentionally or not, they thought about it and realized she really didn’t have any deep animosity toward Zhong Niangyao, so there really was no reason for her actions.

Therefore, they were all very shocked when they heard Li Yiqiu admitting her actions, which she claimed were all to obtain Zhong Niangyao’s “Heart Blood.”

“Heart Blood,” as the name implies, is blood from the chest. To extract this blood, even if it doesn’t result in death, would cause severe injury. No wonder Li Yiqiu had aimed at Zhong Niangyao’s chest!

If it hadn’t been for Lu Yichen who pulled her back in time today, Zhong Niangyao would probably be lying in a hospital right now.

Who would have thought that Li Yiqiu, who appeared so weak and gentle, could also be so ruthless!

The person who was most shocked here was undoubtedly Zhong Mingyu. Although he had once blamed Li Yiqiu in his heart, he had never truly believed that his wife would intentionally do such a thing.

Now, the truth completely overturned all his understanding, making him wonder if he had ever truly understood what kind of person his wife was.

Now, what everyone was most eager to know was why Li Yiqiu had done this.

Zhong Niangyao raised her eyebrows and continued to ask, “Why did you do it? Is there any grudge between you and Zhong Niangyao that made you so eager to kill her?”

“I didn’t want to kill Zhong Niangyao,” Li Yiqiu said, her eyes lifeless, her emotions without any fluctuations. “I just wanted a little bit of her ‘Heart Blood,’ I never thought of killing her.”

Hearing Li Yiqiu mention wanting her “Heart Blood” again, Zhong Niangyao frowned, a hint of confusion flashing in her eyes, “Then why do you want Zhong Niangyao’s ‘Heart Blood’?”

“To save my son,” continued Li Yiqiu. “With Zhong Niangyao’s ‘Heart Blood,’ my son could become healthy and live like a normal person, instead of being sickly and bedridden all the time.”

As soon as she spoke, everyone couldn’t help but look at each other, finding such a belief quite puzzling.

This isn’t some ancient feudal society, there’s no such thing as using human blood for medicine anymore! Even the mention of it could make one feel sick. But how could Li Yiqiu believe in such a notion, thinking that obtaining Zhong Niangyao’s, particularly the ‘Heart Blood,’ would save her son?

People started to suspect that Li Yiqiu had fallen into some kind of cult belief.

Lu Yichen had been silent the whole time, but the chill in his eyes deepened after Li Yiqiu gave such a reason.

At the same time, a strange chill seemed to spread through the living room.

Zhong Niangyao’s frown deepened, unable to comprehend Li Yiqiu’s thinking. She was also curious where such an idea had come from. While thinking this, she directly asked, “Who told you about this method?”

“It’s–Ah–”

Suddenly, an unexpected event occurred. Li Yiqiu suddenly clutched her head with both hands and began to scream in agony, while frantically tearing at her hair. The agonized expression made it seem as if something was growing inside her head, trying to drive it out.

The people present were shocked by this sudden turn of events and could hardly believe what was happening.

With a sharp scream from Li Yiqiu, she suddenly spat out fresh blood, then seemed to come to her senses, sitting on the ground, staring blankly at everything around her.

Before Li Yiqiu suddenly lost control, Zhong Niangyao was about to go check on her. However, before she could, Li Yiqiu had already recovered.

Although she spat out some fresh blood, it was clear besides her pale complexion, Li Yiqiu didn’t suffer any major harm and even seemed to be in good spirits.

“Mom, you’re okay!”

Zhong Mengxuan stepped forward, helped Li Yiqiu up, and then sat her back down on the sofa.

Li Yiqiu didn’t remember what had happened; her last memory was of Zhong Niangyao pressing her. She looked around, somewhat puzzled, but noticed that everyone looked at her with complex expressions.

Even her husband, sitting beside her, had an odd expression when looking at her. His look was as if he were seeing a stranger.

“I–” Just as Li Yiqiu started to speak, she was interrupted by Zhong Niangyao.

“Second Aunt, you might not remember,” Zhong Niangyao’s lips curled up into a smile, then she continued, “Just now, you already admitted that the actions you took at the birthday banquet were intentional.”

“What? Impossible,” Li Yiqiu reflexively spoke.

Only having spoken did she realize something was amiss and hurriedly tried to defend herself, “I would never admit to something I didn’t do.”

“Nianyao, although it wasn’t intentional, it was indeed my fault. However you want to punish me, I accept it. But, no matter what, it was an accident.”

The righteous indignation in her demeanor was as if she had suffered a great injustice.

If it wasn’t for the fact that everyone had just heard Li Yiqiu admit everything, they might have thought that Zhong Niangyao was being overly aggressive.

Now, looking at Li Yiqiu, they only felt her hypocrisy.

After she finished speaking, Li Yiqiu glanced around subtly, yet discovered that people didn’t offer her the sympathy she expected. Even her husband, who had been defending her, now looked at her with undisguised disgust.

Still confused about what was happening, she heard Zhong Niangyao’s voice once again.

“Second Aunt, there’s no need for you to keep trying to vindicate yourself here,” Zhong Niangyao’s lips twisted into a mocking smile, “I’m not joking with you, nor am I tricking you. When you admitted to the act earlier, everyone heard it. Do I need to remind you?”

“Heart Blood.”
