That night, Xia Ruqing drank her medicine. She felt a bit better but couldn't sleep a wink.
The next day, she completely cut off food from the small kitchen. The food was still delivered as usual, but once it arrived, she didn't taste a single bite.
Strangely enough, she no longer experienced any discomfort. From morning till night, she was perfectly fine.
That evening, Xia Ruqing gave a cold laugh. "I thought the culprit was from outside, but it turns out to be someone close by! This is indeed harboring a tiger in one's own camp!"
Zi Su exclaimed indignantly, "It must be them! I'll go find them right now!"
Zi Yue quickly pulled her back. "Don't alert the enemy!"
"Even if we can't catch them in the act, we still need some evidence, right?"
Zi Su looked incredulous. "The Mistress has been so ill, and you still want to talk about evidence?"
"Of course!"
