When the female supporting role has a beauty system

Chapter 1443 Jin Yue 44
It's just opera, right? How could she possibly be worse than Pei Yun?
One dish after another was served from the small kitchen, and soon the room was filled with the aroma of food.

Lin Jinzhu broke the clay seal on the wine jar, intending to lift it. However, due to her illness, she was now too weak to even lift the jar.

Pei Yun was completely relieved. With Lin Jinzhu's health condition, even if she wanted to do something bad, what could she do?
He lifted the wine jar, which floated above the wine pot, and the transparent wine flowed into the pot like thin threads. Pei Yun then stood the wine jar upright when the pot was eight-tenths full.

Lin Jinzhu whispered, "Bring some boiling water. It's freezing cold today, so warm wine won't upset your stomach."

Granny Wang brought over a copper basin, and the wine pot was placed into the basin right in front of Pei Yun.

Lin Jinzhu served food to Pei Yun and Pei Yuan, saying, "Eat your food first; it's not good to drink on an empty stomach."

Pei Yun accepted all comers. In his eyes, Lin Jinzhu was harmless at the moment. Besides, everything was under his nose, so what trouble could she possibly cause?

While the three were eating, Granny Wang seized an opportunity to secretly slip the packet of "infertility-inducing powder" into their drink. Worried that the powder wouldn't completely dissolve, she even changed the water in a separate basin.

Judging that it was about time, Lin Jinzhu glanced at Granny Wang. The other woman nodded subtly, and Lin Jinzhu smiled and said, "Having dishes but no wine is rather bland."

"Wang Mama, bring me the hot Zhuangyuanhong wine."

Granny Wang brought over the wine pot, and Lin Jinzhu poured herself a cup first, then filled Pei Yun's cup. She then put down the pot, ignoring the expectant Pei Yuan: "The Pei family's ancestral rules state that men can only drink alcohol at sixteen. You cannot disobey these rules."

Pei Yuan replied somewhat dejectedly, "Oh."

Lin Jinzhu raised her wine glass: "Husband, I am so grateful for your care over the years, and you have given me two wonderful children. I would like to toast you."

Pei Yun also raised his glass, and after the two clinked glasses, Lin Jinzhu tilted her head back and drank the wine.

Seeing this, Pei Yun also drank the wine in his cup. Lin Jinzhu's eyes were full of coldness; even at this moment, Pei Yun remained suspicious. Perhaps he hadn't expected Lin Jinzhu to be willing to risk her life?
After drinking two cups, Lin Jinzhu's face flushed. She quickly waved her hand, "I can't drink anymore, husband, you drink more."

Pei Yun completely let down his guard, and with Lin Jinzhu's subtle encouragement to drink, a pot of wine was emptied without him even realizing it.

Candlelight, a beautiful woman, children, dinner—this scene, in ordinary times, would be a common sight of family bliss. But in Wang Po's eyes, what difference was there between this scene and the Last Supper?
After several rounds of drinks and dishes, Granny Wang cleared away the food and brought Lin Jinzhu and Pei Yun a small grill, a pot of tea, and two plates of snacks.

Pei Yuan stood in front of the antique display shelf, admiring the rare and precious antiques on it.

Pei Yun was in a good mood, and he assumed that Lin Jinzhu's condition was a temporary respite before death. Or perhaps it was because he had just drunk some wine, he poured tea for Lin Jinzhu: "It's been a long time since I've felt this good. Madam, you must get well soon."

"We'll continue our fireside chats in the future."

Lin Jinzhu twitched the corners of her mouth. If she really got better, Pei Yun wouldn't be as happy as he was now.

Pei Yun took a sip of tea, about to continue speaking, when a sharp pain shot through his abdomen. His hand went limp, and the teacup clattered to the floor. He braced himself against the table, staring at Lin Jinzhu: "You poisoned me?"

Lin Jinzhu spread her hands: "Why do you say that, husband? We are eating the same food, and I don't feel unwell at all."

She was prepared to suffer along with Pei Yun, but she was completely unharmed? Lin Jinzhu immediately became righteous and firmly denied that she had done anything wrong.

Pei Yun struggled to get out, but after only two steps, his legs gave way and he collapsed to the ground, a far cry from his former prowess as a top scholar. Pei Yuan was shocked and was about to shout when Granny Wang stuffed a pastry into his mouth. Lin Jinzhu smiled contentedly and casually stuffed a handkerchief into Pei Yun's mouth, preventing him from calling for help.

Pei Yuan gradually calmed down. He looked at Pei Yun, who was rolling on the ground, and then at Lin Jinzhu. His voice gradually lowered: "Mother, what are you doing? He is your husband."

Lin Jinzhu looked at the disheveled Pei Yun, her eyes filled with ruthlessness: "I didn't kill him. I just made sure he could never be a man again. From now on, he will only have you and your brother as his children."

Pei Yuan wanted to say something, but then he thought about the future. If Pei Yun remarried, he would definitely have more children. What if he only had himself and his younger brother as his children for the rest of his life…

Pei Yuan said nothing more.

Ultimately, how many children raised in such families are truly naive and innocent? Pei Yuan and Pei Yun are especially alike, both prioritizing self-interest above all else.

Although Pei Yun was in pain, he didn't lose his temper. He glared venomously at Lin Jinzhu: "The most poisonous heart is a woman's! How dare you treat me like this? Yuan'er is my eldest son, would I treat him badly?"

Lin Jinzhu said calmly, "Why did I have severe bleeding during childbirth back then? Why have I been so ill these past few years that I can't even get out of bed?"

“When my elder brother passed away, you tried to get rid of me. When my father passed away, you increased the dosage of my medication. Pei Yun, you did the first thing, so don’t blame me for doing the fifteenth.”

"You've schemed against me like this, how can I possibly expect you to be good to my children?"

Pei Yun threatened, "If you treat me like this, Pei Yuan will definitely have a hard time once I recover. If you stop now and give me the antidote, I can let bygones be bygones."

Lin Jinzhu was laughing so hard she was almost crying: "Pei Yun, do you think I'm a three-year-old?"

"The entire Pei family is in your hands. If I give you the antidote now, will you really let me go?"

Pei Yuan stood frozen in place. Just fifteen minutes ago, his parents had been enjoying a warm and harmonious relationship. Fifteen minutes later, the two were at each other's throats, wishing they could kill each other.

Pei Yun glared at Lin Jinzhu: "I didn't expect that even in this situation, you would still find an opportunity. Lin Jinzhu, you were hiding this so well?"

Lin Jinzhu stopped talking to Pei Yun and beckoned to Pei Yuan: "Yuan-ge'er, come here."

Pei Yuan stopped in front of her. Lin Jinzhu handed him another porcelain bottle and whispered a few words in his ear. Pei Yuan gripped the bottle tightly and nodded solemnly after a long while.

Lin Jinzhu gave Wang Pozi a look, and Wang Pozi acted swiftly, striking Pei Yun on the back of the neck with a stick, causing Pei Yun to immediately faint.

Lin Jinzhu said gently, "Wang Mama, why don't you go outside and wait?"

She was also protecting Granny Wang. If the servants got too involved, they would be the first to die after the deed was done.

She didn't consider herself a good person, but since Granny Wang had helped her so much, she still wanted to protect Granny Wang as much as possible.

Pei Yuan didn't stop her; he understood Lin Jinzhu's meaning. Things had come to this point, and there was no turning back. Even if his father woke up, he wouldn't treat him kindly.

Since that's the case, let's just go all the way down this path.
