Chapter 2494: Only Option Was to Use Poison

Ning Shu’s only option was to use poison.
She felt like she needed to put all of her cards on the table now.
If poisoning didn’t work, then she’d just put a curse on him. The only problem was that she didn’t know whether this world would allow her to make a successful curse.
Modern society didn’t have magic. Even the spiritual energy it had was sparse. Hence, many of her methods wouldn’t necessarily be successful.
There was also the suppression from the realm to consider.
Ning Shu went to buy a large chicken. She then went back to stew it into a soup, and took out the herbs that she’d bought together with the silver needles.
She cut some astragalus into slices and put it into the pot to cook it.
Ning Shu then started to concoct a medicine using the other herbs. Using certain proportions, she made sure that this medicine wouldn’t be detectable.
Ning Shu was pulling out all the stops now, but this was just a test. She wanted to see whether the system would be able to detect anything suspicious in the chicken soup.
Ning Shu poured the concoction into the pot and waited for the soup to actually taste like chicken soup.
However, broiler chickens simply couldn’t produce a strong flavor, so Ning Shu mixed a lot of chicken essence into it.
Ning Shu then smelled the soup. The rich, umami soup, mixed with the herbs, created a fragrant aroma.
Ning Shu poured the chicken soup into a soup thermos and cleaned the pot. She then went to the hospital with the thermos.
This was Ning Shu’s second visit to Luo Jiang. Luo Jiang was high-spirited, and didn’t look like a sick and injured patient at all.
Instead, he looked pleased as punch. He probably greatly enjoying his days with the beautiful doctor and nurse.
Ning Shu walked into the ward with the thermos. “Here. This is the chicken soup that your mother boiled for you. Your mother isn’t feeling well, so she asked me to bring it over to you.”
Ning Shu said that while she opened the thermos.
Meanwhile, Luo Jiang was staring at her. “If you care about me, then just say it. Why act so tsundere?”
Ning Shu: …
“Duoduo, you actually like me, don’t you?” Luo Jiang turned towards her and lifted his eyebrows.
Ning Shu took the spoon and shoved it and the thermos to Luo Jiang. “Just eat.”
Luo Jiang smugly smiled. He picked up the spoon and scooped up a piece of chicken meat. He then put it into his mouth. Suddenly, his expression froze.
Luo Jiang turned his head to look at Ning Shu and stared at her.
Ning Shu’s heart dropped. Did he find out?
“What’s wrong?” she calmly asked.
“It’s so delicious,” Luo Jiang excitedly said. “My mouth’s gone numb after eating the bland hospital food every day, but this chicken soup is so tasty…
“Duoduo, I knew you liked me! That must be why you’re so considerate of me.” Luo Jiang ate the chicken meat and drank the soup ravenously as if he had been starving for ages.
Ning Shu: “If you like it, then eat more!”
It seemed like the system wouldn’t warn Luo Jiang.
It could be because there were some medicinal materials beneficial to Luo Jiang’s body in the chicken soup. She’d added them to cover the taste of the other medicinal ingredients.
There was no way that Luo Jiang would have been able to tell, what she had been worried about was that the system would notice.
However, the system must’ve not alerted Luo Jiang. If that was the case, Luo Jiang wouldn’t have eaten the chicken soup.
Luo Jiang finished a full bucket of chicken soup down to its last drop.
Luo Jiang’s satisfaction was apparent in his face, and he burped. “What a great meal.”
Ning Shu closed the thermos. She was preparing to leave when the beautiful doctor in a white coat came in. The beautiful doctor smiled slightly at Ning Shu when she saw her. “You came to visit him.”
When Ning Shu saw the gentle, beautiful doctor, she felt a trace of inexplicable sadness.
Such a good woman was going to be ruined by Luo Jiang.
She was still acting so kindly, despite facing someone who could be her rival in love.
Alas, the harem of this stallion man was incomparably harmonious. There was never any fighting nor jealousy in it.
They all acted like they were all sisters.
