Chapter 175 There Is Nothing Wrong with the Medicine

“Sisi, your face…” Fang Yan said in surprise.

Song Sisi realized something was wrong as she saw everyone look at her in a weird way. So she got impatient immediately.

“My face? What’s wrong with my face?”

She rushed to a mirror in the hall hastily and screamed after looking into it.

“Ah——God! My face. Why would it be like this?”

“Sisi, don’t worry… I guess you’ve caught an allergy! That doesn’t matter. You may feel a little itchy, but remember not to scratch,” Fang Xu reminded her.

“Allergy? Impossible. I haven’t had anything today, how could I get an allergy?” Song Sisi was in a fret. Then something came to her, and she glared at Tang Xia suddenly. “Tang Xia, it’s you. It must be you!”

Tang Xia was confused about her sudden accusation. “Are you crazy, Song Sisi? What does your allergy have to do with me?”

“It was you who poured the tea for us when the housekeeper served it. You must have added something in the tea to make me allergic.” Song Sisi assumed that was the case.

Tang Xia rolled her eyes. “Song Sisi, did you catch paranoia? I drank the tea, too, so why am I all right?”

Song Sisi thought for a while upon seeing that Tang Xia had denied this, then said, “But the only thing I’ve had today was the tea. I’ve never been allergic to anything. There must be something wrong with the tea.”

Tang Xia thought it was ridiculous as she listened, believing that Song Sisi had to be mad. “How can you say that you aren’t allergic to anything else if you’ve never had an allergy before?

“You aren’t a doctor, after all. How can you be sure that you are not allergic to something? Song Sisi, could you please not be so ridiculous?”

Song Sisi became even more infuriated when she heard Tang Xia describe her as “ridiculous”, so she shouted loudly, “But Ye Yifan and Fang Xu did not drink the tea either. How can you prove yourself to be right? This is just your excuse.

“On top of that, you and I were at odds last night. You must have been holding a grudge and will take revenge on me this way.”

Song Sisi was more and more confident about her assumption, being sure that it was Tang Xia who had plotted against her.

Having been wronged by her, Tang Xia felt offended. “Song Sisi, could you be a little more rational? You have no proof at all, how can you affirm this?”

Seeing that Tang Xia was still unwilling to admit it, Song Sisi got angrier, but her face and body were too itchy. She started wailing. “No, I don’t have any evidence. So are you satisfied, Tang Xia?”

Tears on her pretty face instantly stirred up Fang Yan’s sympathy.

He stepped forward immediately and stood in front of Song Sisi, shouting at Tang Xia, “Tang Xia, is this all about those trivial matters from yesterday? Do you have to be so petty? You have made Sisi like this. I never thought that you were such a malicious woman.”

Fang Yan condemned Tang Xia on the spot without giving her the chance to explain.

Tang Xia trembled in anger, her face looking worse.

She was about to refute but Ye Yifan started speaking before she could. “Fang Yan, Tang Xia is your girlfriend, anyhow. Is it really proper for you to scold her rashly when you have no evidence at all?”

Fang Yan didn’t expect that Ye Yifan would criticize him. And being unable to refute his words, he became speechless.

Tang Xia was also surprised that the first one to defend her should be Ye Yifan.

It felt like a warm current was floating through her heart, which eased her anger and made her feel much better. She cast her grateful eyes to him immediately.

Ye Yifan also looked at her and then continued, “Now that Sisi said that she has only had tea today, then it must have something to do with the tea. But I would rather believe that there is something wrong with the water.”

“The water?” His analysis aroused everyone’s curiosity.

But Fang Yan sneered disdainfully, “Hmph! How do you know that it has to do with the water? You don’t have any evidence, do you?”

“Sorry. I forgot to tell you that I once majored in medicine.” Ye Yifan removed his doubts directly.

Dabing echoed, “Yes! Ye Yifan used to be the top in his class every year. And I heard that he has published several theses on medicine. His words make sense undoubtedly.”

Fang Yan felt like that he had been slapped by someone on the spot, his face scorching. But he was at a loss for words and could only glare at Ye Yifan with resentful eyes.

But Ye Yifan didn’t even look at him. He continued to give his reasons. “We’re living in such a rural place with a high altitude. I’m afraid the water we drink here is not from the waterworks but is obtained from underground springs!”

Everyone thought that his analysis made sense instantly.

Dabing asked Ye Yifan out of curiosity, “It seems that your words make sense. Is it because the spring water has been polluted by the rain so that Sisi has become allergic to it?”

Ye Yifan shook his head and disapproved of Dabing’s speculation. “No, that’s not it. The spring water in the mountains is usually rich in minerals. I remember that Sisi is from the north! Maybe that’s why she’s allergic to the water!”

“What? Is it because of the minerals in the water? But we have only a few bottles of purified water. Will I die of thirst?” Song Sisi became concerned.

But Ye Yifan had managed to absolve Tang Xia of sin through his analysis.

“So that’s the reason! It really has nothing to do with Tang Xia. Just now I believed that… Haha, I’m sorry, Tang Xia!” Dabing smiled awkwardly.

“Now that it has been made clear, it doesn’t matter.” Tang Xia smiled.

In fact, it was clear to her that Song Sisi had been targeting her, and in addition to that, her boyfriend, Fang Yan, had also condemned her.

So it was natural that she would have been misunderstood by those who didn’t know her well. That was why she forgave Dabing so generously.

But Song Sisi didn’t look well since she had been claiming that it was Tang Xia who had plotted against her. She didn’t expect that things would change so fast.

She looked at the others, only to see Fang Xu and Dabing feeling wronged for Tang Xia.

She gritted her teeth after thinking and then apologized to Tang Xia. “Tang Xia, I’m sorry! But so many things have happened today and there are so many rashes on my face, so I was a little bit short-tempered.

“And my mind has been in a mess. I didn’t mean to misunderstand you. Forgive me, please.”

Tang Xia noticed that she kept glancing at Ye Yifan as she apologized, and then she understood what was going on.

Song Sisi was not willing to apologize to her at all. She was merely pretending to be innocent in front of Ye Yifan and the others.

Song Sisi deserved the title “pretentious b*tch”.

Though she was reluctant to respond to Song Sisi, she saw Fang Yan look at Song Sisi with affectionate eyes.

Anyway, she was fulfilling a task, while Fang Yan was her object to conquest. So she shouldn’t make Fang Yan loath her no matter how annoyed she was.

She put on a forced smile. “Never mind. I understand you. It’s quite natural for you to lose your temper since you have been disfigured.”

Hearing Tang Xia deliberately mention her disfiguration, Song Sisi was irate and annoyed.

But she had been in the wrong just now, so it would be inappropriate for her to break out again. She had to force herself to choke back her anger.

Fang Yan had been standing beside Song Sisi. He suddenly realized that some of his companions were looking at him after Song Sisi’s apology.

Fang Yan looked up, finding that Fang Xu and Dabing, even Ye Yifan, were looking at him.

Just now, he seemed to have sobered up. He was Tang Xia’s boyfriend, but he hadn’t moved over to Tang Xia, nor had he even apologized to or comforted her when such a thing had happened.

Even Song Sisi had made an apology. But as Tang Xia’s boyfriend, he acted like that it had nothing to do with him.

Fang Yan looked embarrassed as he realized this.

He walked over to Tang Xia with hindsight and tried to please her. “Tang Xia, I’m sorry! I lost my mind at the moment. And I know nothing about medicine, so I misunderstood you.”

Tang Xia looked up at him and smiled. “From now on, you have to stand by me, and then I’ll forgive you. So many things have happened. Sisi would be afraid, so would I!”

She took the opportunity to demand that Fang Yan leave Song Sisi alone. Except for Ye Yifan, whose eyes looked bleak, both Fang Xu and Dabing took it as a joke between lovers and found nothing wrong with it.

But Fang Yan stood motionlessly, staring at Song Sisi with attachment.

“What’s wrong? Are you unwilling to follow my words?” Tang Xia questioned him upon hearing no response from him.

“Nothing. I promise.” Fang Yan compromised at last and moved close to her.

Now that the goal had been achieved, it was around noon, so Tang Xia suggested, “We have been stuck here for a half day. Let’s dispose of Zhang Yaoyao’s body first!”

They all looked at Ye Yifan after hearing her words.

Ye Yifan had majored in medicine. He could hold the post of a legal medical expert.

Ye Yifan smiled slightly. “Before the disposal, let’s have a look first!”

So they walked together and returned to the room where Zhang Yaoyao had been lying.

But all of them stopped just before the door since no one dared to push the door open.

Ye Yifan was the first to open the door and walk in.

They looked at each other, and in the end, forced themselves to walk in.

Ye Yifan took a general look at the room and asked Tang Xia, “What did Zhang Yaoyao do before she fell asleep?”

“Nothing at all, except wash herself…” Something struck Tang Xia and she added hurriedly, “And she took some sleeping pills.”

Ye Yifan searched in Zhang Yaoyao’s bag and found the box containing the sleeping pills. He examined it and said, “But there’s nothing wrong with it.”

Fang Yan started jeering all of a sudden. “Even if Zhang Yaoyao died due to taking drugs, who knows if she had really gotten poisonous drugs?”
