First Assistant's Petite Wife Has Space

Poison to Kill Mother

Lu Jiao quickly erased her devious thoughts. If she killed him right here and now, she would be no different than those criminals who kill without batting an eye. Plus, if she killed Xie Yunjin now, what would the kids do?

On top of that, Xie Yunjin was the villain in the . If he was dead, the book would no longer make sense. Once the book stopped making sense, she would die.

Lu Jiao helped Xie Yunjin up and carried him onto his bed.

It was easy for her to carry him. Somehow, she did not need to use a lot of strength to carry this grown man. This was the benefit of her space. In her previous life, after she gained her space, she also grew very strong. In this life, her space followed her. So naturally, she was strong here too.

The sky had started to turn bright. Lu Jiao needed this opportunity to sleep. She hadn’t slept all night and her body was exhausted.

By the time she opened her eyes again, it was morning. The four little boys had run off to god knows where.

On the bed, Xie Yunjin had woken up as well. He stared at her quietly as if everything that happened last night was simply a dream. As if nothing unusual went on.

Lu Jiao was speechless and pursed her lips. She decided to go out and make some breakfast. On the bed, Xie Yunjin asked, “Get me a cup of water.”

Lu Jiao wanted to ask him if he was thirsty because of his midnight workout. But in the end, she didn’t say anything and went to fetch some cold water from the kitchen.

“There’s no hot water. Do you drink it cold?”

The man in the bed had no objection, “Yes.”

Lu Jiao carried the water over and was troubled. How did this work?

“Do I feed you?”

Though this free husband had a handsome face, he was a stranger to her. Plus, most importantly, he wanted to kill her. So Lu Jiao didn’t dare to step too close to him.

Xie Yunjin shook his head, “There’s no need.”

He took over the water and struggled to drink it while lopsided.

Xie Yunjin hurt his head, chest, and legs but his arms were fine. He was capable of carrying some objects. However, his movements remained limited as moving caused headaches and nausea.

Lu Jiao noticed that his hands shook while he drank and it dripped everywhere. Subconsciously, she looked for something she could use to wipe him off.

The moment she turned around, the man in bed threw the bowl onto the ground. He then quickly grabbed onto one of the broken porcelain pieces and struggled his way towards Lu Jiao. With one hand, he tried to grab Lu Jiao’s neck while his other hand with the porcelain shard aimed to slash the major artery on Lu Jiao’s neck.

Lu Jiao sensed the violent movement behind her right away. She leaned to the side to dodge the attack and swung her arm. Her punch knocked Xie Yunjin back into the bed.

As a military doctor, she was military trained. Her movements were quick and efficient. There was no way Xie Yunjin could sneak up on her. Plus, he was very much injured, and no matter how fast he was, his movements were blunt and delayed.

Lu Jiao was angry this time. She went up to the bed and placed her hands around Xie Yunjin’s neck. Furious, she cursed, “You want to die? If you want to die, I can grant you your wish.”

On the bed, Xie Yunjin stopped. The choking motion made it hard for him to breathe as he stared at her with his eyes wide open.

“If you kill me, you will die too.”

Lu Jiao was clear in the head. It wasn’t easy for her to gain this life. She didn’t want to die. She loosened her grip a little but the words she breathed out remained harsh.

“If you dare to try and kill me again, don’t blame me for defending myself and killing you first.”

Even if he was going to become the final boss, she wasn’t going to sit around and do nothing.

After she warned him, she heard footsteps by the door.

Lu Jiao thought of the four little ones and let go of Xie Yunjin.

No matter what, they shouldn’t fight in front of the kids. Parents were the children’s mirror. If they fight in front of the kids, the kids would be traumatized.

Lu Jiao turned to look at the door and found the First Born had stumbled in with a bowl of water.

He was obviously very scared but he did his best to remain calm. He walked his way to Lu Jiao, “Water for you.”

Lu Jiao strangely glanced at the little fella. He didn’t like her so why would he give her water? That was too good to be true.

Given that this little guy couldn’t even stand still while he held the big bowl, she took the bowl over. Observing it, she instantly saw through their trick. The water had been poisoned.

Lu Jiao’s expression changed right away. They dared to poison her? And he had used jasmine grass.

No wonder these kids grew up to be villains.

Lu Jiao didn’t have any intention of educating the four kids. However, for this to happen right in front of her meant she couldn’t just say nothing.

Lu Jiao thought about it and headed to the bed with the bowl of water. As she walked, she said, “Your dad is thirsty. Let’s give this water to him.”

Her words made the First Born’s face drop. He shouted quickly, “No! Don’t let dad drink it.”

“Why not?” Lu Jiao stopped her steps and turned to stare at the First Born. The little guy started to tremble then. This woman was very evil. If she found out that he tried to poison her, she would for sure beat him to death.

The First Born started to cry. Lu Jiao restarted her walk to the bed, “Looks like there’s a story behind the water. Since that’s the case, let’s give your dad a taste.”

The First Born started to scream, “Don’t. It’s… It’s poisoned.”

With a cold grin on her face, she looked at Xie Yunjin.

“You father and son duo surely share the same heart. The old one wants to kill me, the little one wants to poison me. You two are great.”

Lu Jiao paused before she continued, “I want to ask Scholar Xie, for your son to poison his mother at such a young age, how much more capable will your son grow up to be in the future? Do you want your son to become an evil thief who commits all sorts of crimes?”

On the bed, Xie Yunjin’s face changed color. He yelled at the First Born with a dark expression, “First Born, tell me, where did you get the poison?”

With tears in his eyes, the First Born said, “Last time, I saw lady Shen eat this. She almost died after.”

So, after he witnessed his father’s failed attempt to kill this evil woman last night, he got up early to find this poison.

He didn’t think the evil woman would find out. The First Born started to cry out of sadness.

Lu Jiao watched Xie Yunjin, “As a father, you’ve set a great example. If he didn’t see you do what you did last night, he never would’ve thought to do this. Poison his own mother? If this information got known, you think your son would have a future?”

Xie Yunjin’s face dropped. With his eyes gloomy and heavy, he stared at Lu Jiao, “He’s just a child.”

“A child who knows how to poison his own mother. Once he grows up, god knows how much worse he’ll be.”

Lu Jiao didn’t give Xie Yunjin another look and said to the First Born, “Go get a stick.”

Xie Yunjin’s expression changed and he shouted, “What do you think you’re doing?”

Lu Jiao angrily screamed back, “Something like this deserves punishment. If you don’t punish him, he will get the nerve to kill others and set buildings on fire.”

She continued to stare at the First Born. Before he could answer, the Second, Third, and Fourth Borns all rushed inside.

“We did it. Hit us instead.”

“Don’t hit brother, hit us.”
