"I was just scaring her. Poison is very expensive. I don't want to waste my money on that," said Zhao Chuchu. She then went to Old Mrs. Chen's ear and whispered, "Shh, this is a secret. Don't tell anyone."
Old Mrs. Chen also subconsciously lowered her voice and asked, "Why did I hear that the medicine you gave Madam Zhu would make her feel like ants bit her at midnight?"
Zhao Chuchu blinked and answered, "When the time comes, I will tell you."
Madam Zhu had done something to feel guilty. Her guilt weighed on her conscience. When Zhao Chuchu gave her a scare like this, it would undoubtedly cause psychological effects.
After being fed something unfamiliar, Madam Zhu subconsciously assumed what Zhao Chuchu said to be true and felt as though she was being bitten all over her body by ants.
Using poison on Madam Zhu?
It would cost money to concoct poison.
Was Madam Zhu worthy of such wastage?
