Su Ji got up from the bed with messy hair. Was that just a kiss?
If she didn’t stop him, he would have eaten her.
“Ms. Su, Third Master, I prepared fruits…” Aunt Gong appeared at the door with a fruit platter. However, halfway through her sentence, she noticed the sexual tension in the room.
Her voice became softer and softer. She went behind the wall beside the door, trying to make herself invisible.
Why wasn’t there any master-servant connection today?!
“Come in.” Pei Huai slowly buttoned his shirt again.
Su Ji used her hand to comb her hair.
But even so, it could not hide what had happened between the two of them a second ago!
There were some things that you just knew would happen every day, but seeing it with your own eyes…was definitely different!!
The usually carefree Aunt Gong was suddenly shy today!
She first sneaked a glance into the room before coming in. With a red face and a lowered head, she raised the fruit platter filled with all kinds of fruits high in front of her to cover her face.
“Ms. Su said that she ate a little too much at noon today, so I prepared some fruits to help with digestion. Eating some will make your stomach feel better…”
“Thanks.” Su Ji stood up to take it. Pei Huai took it with one hand and placed it on the bedside table for her.
Aunt Gong put down the fruit platter and left the scene as if she was escaping.
Su Ji’s gaze fell on the beautifully peeled fruits.
It didn’t matter if her stomach was comfortable or not. She just wanted to eat something cool now.
She was feeling warm.
The fruit platter was colorful and pleasing to the eye.
There were apple cubes, blueberries, kiwifruit, star fruit and pomelo. The skin had been carefully peeled off. It looked sweet, sour, and juicy.
She reached out for the pomelo first.
Pei Huai’s mood was interrupted. He prepared his clothes and went to the bathroom.
Before he left, he glanced at Su Ji. Seeing that she was about to put the pomelo into her mouth, he suddenly thought of something and took a few steps over to grab her wrist.
“You can’t eat that today.”
Looking at his nervous expression, Su Ji frowned slightly. Suddenly, she had a feeling that she had forgotten something.
Pomelo was not only good for digestion, but it also had hangover effects, so it was a common fruit in their apartment.
She often ate it, so why couldn’t she eat it today?
Pei Huai took the fruit away from her hand and threw it back into the fruit plate. “Eat something else.”
“Why?” Su Ji was eager to know the answer.
Pei Huai saw that she really did not think of this, so he said slowly, “mutton and pomelo are not good together. It will cause vomiting and abdominal pain. You ate a lot of mutton in the afternoon, and you haven’t digested it yet. If you eat pomelo, it will be very uncomfortable.”
Some people believed that certain foods clash and some people did not believe it. However, it was undeniable that this was an important branch of Chinese food science.
Pei Huai had always paid attention to Su Ji’s diet, so he paid special attention to this aspect. Usually, he would also avoid all the foods that clash when making breakfast.
“Be good.” Pei Huai touched the top of her head, put a strawberry into her mouth, and left the room.
Su Ji was slightly stunned as she chewed on the strawberry.
She did not come back to her senses for a long time until the bathroom door closed.
That’s right…
How could she have forgotten this…
It might affect the stomach and intestines, but it might also affect other organs or the nervous system.
As Su Ji thought about this, she suddenly stopped chewing.
A thread in her mind connected.
She quickly flipped open the ancient medical book beside her and searched through it. As expected, she found a detailed introduction about the mutual promotion and restriction of ingredients!
When she found that part, she quickly read through it.
At the same time, he recalled the sumptuous dishes that Su Qianrou had prepared for Zhang Guihua.
Some foods, if paired together, could cause far more damage to the body than what we know in our daily lives.
She was unprecedentedly clear. Sparks were flashing in her mind, and all the things that she could not figure out before seemed to have cleared up.
She found her phone and called the hospital. The nurse answered the call.
At this time, Zhang Guihua had just had dinner. Su Qianrou had ordered dinner and sent it over.
“Ms. Su?” When the nurse heard that it was her calling, her tone was a little awkward. “The old madam is already resting…is there anything you need?”
Every time the eldest daughter of the Su family came to the hospital, the atmosphere would be tense. The second daughter was completely different from her. She was filial and sensible. One look and one could tell that she was a caring little girl. After the eldest daughter left today, the second daughter had a very good conversation with the old madam and made the old madam happy. As nurses, they also felt relaxed.
Su Ji went straight to the point and asked her what Zhang Guihua had for dinner.
The nurse was quite vigilant. “Why are you asking this?”
Su Ji’s tone sounded calm, but there was an unquestionable order. “Answer the question. ”
The nurse paused for a moment and obeyed subconsciously. Then, she told her all the dishes that Zhang Guihua had eaten that night.
She didn’t leave out any details, even the ingredients such as onions, ginger, and garlic.
Su Ji arranged all the ingredients in her mind.
Four dishes and one soup, a total of ten main ingredients, all of them…clashed with each other!
No wonder they couldn’t find any traces of poison.
Su Qianrou did not poison Zhang Guihua’s food. Instead, she made all the food that clashed with each other and let her eat them at the same time.
She did the same thing back home.
Aunt Cui said that Su Qianrou would bring some snacks for Zhang Guihua every day.
And those desserts would definitely clash with the main course of the Su family’s meal that day.
Therefore, Su Qianrou and the others ate the Su family’s daily meals, but their bodies were fine.
Aunt Cui had eaten a lot of snacks and her body was fine.
As a servant, Aunt Cui ate different food from her masters every day.
And the only one who ate both main meals and snacks every day was Zhang Guihua.
Food clashing with each other would have an impact on the body of a young person, let alone an old person like Zhang Guihua who looked strong on the outside but was weak on the inside.
The food might be very delicious, and the snacks might be crispy and delicious.
Zhang Guihua was so touched and happy that she could not stop eating.
However, she did not know that the effect of those things on the person who ate them was no less than consuming arsenic…
