Transmigration: The Little Chef Calls The Shots-Chapter 773 - 095 Wedding Banquet_2

As she spoke, Jin Yuyu, who was always proud and resilient, began to sob softly, her body quivering slightly.

This side of her was so different from her usual demeanor that it was truly heartbreaking. Lin Yuan’s brow furrowed as she gripped Jin Yuyu’s hand tightly, comforting her, "Don’t be sad, it’s lucky that it was discovered early. Sadness isn’t the priority right now, finding the person who poisoned you is what’s most important."

Upon hearing this, Jin Yuyu wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and regained her usual composure, "Yes, Old Mr. Wang also said it was lucky that it was discovered in time, and there were no serious consequences. It will be cleared up with some rest and care. As for the person who poisoned me, I’ve already figured out who it is."

"Then deal with them quickly!" Lin Yuan blurted out. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

But Jin Yuyu shook her head, patted her hand, and said with a hint of envy, "Yuanyuan, there are no such intricate deep-house relations in your family, so you can’t understand the wickedness involved. I didn’t deal with her; instead, I found an excuse to have her do hard labor in the yard and assigned someone trustworthy to watch her at all times. That way, even if she wishes to cause trouble again, she won’t have the opportunity."

Lin Yuan didn’t understand. If she had already found the person who poisoned her, why didn’t she bring her before Old Lady Jin for punishment? Why keep her around still?

Jin Yuyu saw the confusion in her eyes and explained, "An enemy in plain sight is much easier to guard against than a hidden nail. If I had her punished, not only would it alarm others, but it would bring even greater enemies upon myself. What if the person behind the scenes sent someone even more covert next time?"

Lin Yuan couldn’t help but sigh, not expecting Jin Yuyu to be such a skilled player in house politics.

"Then, the person behind the scenes?" Lin Yuan narrowed her eyes, the name nearly on the tip of her tongue.

Jin Yuyu nodded, the two sharing an unspoken understanding.

The second wife’s family, after all! Who would have thought that not only were they malicious, but their hearts were stark black as well. First, they sabotaged Old Lady Jin’s wheelchair in an attempt to frame Jin Yuyu. Then they falsely accused the Jin family’s main wife using fake vinegar. Now, they had gone so far as to harbour harmful intentions.

Did this couple from the second wife’s family really consider Old Lady Jin and the Jin family’s main wife their own family? Just for the position of Family Head, they cast aside their own conscience!

"Shi Wen also came today. He was on the men’s side, and I was really worried, so I sent Lian’er to follow him," Jin Yuyu remarked.

No wonder she kept looking over at the men’s side; she was worried about Jin Shiwen.

Indeed, Jin Yuyu truly cherished this younger brother born out of wedlock. No matter how tired she was from her work at the vinegar workshop, she would always check on Shi Wen’s studies when she returned to the mansion. Since the poisoning incident, she had specifically chosen a clever confidante to send to Shande Hall to learn medical knowledge, in order to protect Jin Shiwen. Furthermore, she hired a martial arts master to teach him martial arts, not only for physical health but also for self-defense when necessary.

She never showed such concern for her own mother, which highlighted how much Jin Yuyu valued her younger brother.

Although this was a symptomatic rather than a root solution, for now, this was all that could be done. There was no evidence to prove the wrongdoings of the second wife’s couple, and from the wheelchair incident, it was clear that this couple was not easy to deal with. Even if the person who poisoned her was caught, it was doubtful that any substantial information could be extracted through interrogation.

"Sister Yuk, there’s one thing you must remember, as long as Shi Wen is safe and Old Lady Jin doesn’t change her mind, no matter what the second wife’s family does, they won’t be able to turn the situation in their favor. So, apart from protecting Shi Wen, you can’t let them find an opportunity with Old Lady Jin either," Lin Yuan cautioned.

Jin Yuyu had thought of this too, but she still appreciated Lin Yuan’s thoughtfulness, "Grandmother is fine, otherwise she wouldn’t have ordered an in-depth investigation after the fake vinegar incident. Yuanyuan, thank you."

It was a simple ’thank you’, but Lin Yuan felt Jin Yuyu’s sincerity. The two had come a long way from strangers to utilizing each other to now having heartfelt trust and mutual support.

While they were talking, Lian’er returned from the men’s side. Hearing that her brother was alright, Jin Yuyu finally felt relieved. After telling Lian’er to take good care of the young master, she sent her off quickly to check on him.

With her mood lifted, Jin Yuyu’s spirits rose significantly, and she chatted and laughed with Lin Yuan, making those who were keeping an eye on them quite envious.

Many present knew that Jin Yuyu was originally meant to be Li Chengzhi’s bride, and with her dejected demeanor from earlier, they couldn’t help but look at her with sympathetic pity. As for how they came to know the details of Jin Yuyu’s and Li Chengzhi’s affair, one could easily guess it was the second wife’s family bragging about their daughter being favored by the Li Mansion. The extent of that favor, however, remained to be seen.
