Chapter 1812 I'm a worthless person with only one life, and I've slept on two benches sinc
After listening to Zhang Ran's vivid recollection of the past, the housekeeper's doubts were greatly dispelled.
She was, after all, the old man's granddaughter, and Huo Yan had stolen her jade pendant and impersonated her. It was perfectly reasonable for her to hate Huo Yan.
If she saves the old man, she can inherit the family fortune, so it would be normal for her to cooperate.
Who wouldn't be tempted by such a huge fortune? Only a fool or a madman wouldn't care.
The butler took out a flashlight and pulled a packet from his pocket. "Take this packet of powder and slip it into Master Huo's tea."
Seeing the butler hand her a small plastic bag containing powder, Zhang Ran stared in astonishment, shaking her head repeatedly: "You want me to poison someone? No, absolutely not! Murder is a crime punishable by death, I wouldn't dare..."
"You've misunderstood." The butler carefully examined her terrified and timid appearance, then calmly withdrew his hand and explained earnestly, "This is not poison."
He opened the plastic bag in front of Zhang Ran, dipped his finger in a tiny bit, and was about to put it in his mouth when Zhang Ran grabbed his wrist: "Don't eat it, are you out of your mind?"
The butler explained with an innocent look, "Miss, this really isn't poison, it's a powerful sleeping pill that will make you sleep for more than ten hours."
"Is it really not poison?" Zhang Ran let go of her hand with some doubt.
"Our goal is to rescue the old man, not to kill him." The butler had no choice but to tell the whole story: "Once Master Huo falls asleep, I can take the opportunity to contact the people outside and rescue the old man from the inside."
To prove he wasn't lying, the butler put his finger, which was covered in the powder, into his mouth again and licked it clean in front of her.
"I see." Zhang Ran held out her hand: "Then give me the medicine powder."
The housekeeper handed her the medicine packet and repeatedly instructed her to secretly slip the medicine into the tea when she wasn't looking, "...Don't go into the kitchen, there are security cameras there."
"Mmm." Zhang Ran put away the medicine powder and nodded repeatedly.
The butler turned off the flashlight and quietly left.
After closing the door, Zhang Ran got out of bed, went over, locked the door from the inside, and then used a chair to brace against the doorknob before going back to bed to rest, sleeping soundly until dawn.
"Did you sleep well last night?" Luo Laoliu asked Zhang Ran with concern while eating breakfast. "Is it unfamiliar surroundings? Are you having trouble adjusting to the new environment? Or having trouble sleeping in a new bed?"
"I'm just a lowly person with a lowly life, I've slept on two benches since I was a child." Zhang Ran smiled and took a sip of seafood porridge, then put down the spoon in her hand: "Now I sleep on a high bed with warm pillows, and I call the world my home."
Recalling the past, Luo Laoliu remembered her tattered bed, which was barely even a proper bed. He picked up a tea egg and asked, "Want some?" Before Zhang Ran could answer, he understood her gaze, peeled off the shell, and stretched his arm across most of the table to put it into Zhang Ran's bowl.
Zhang Ran quickly covered the bowl with the back of her hand: "Did you wash your hands before eating?" Many men are unhygienic and don't wash their hands after urinating. Even though Luo Laoliu is now very rich, some of his habits are still ingrained from childhood.
Luo Laoliu, who always washes his hands before meals: "..." Silently withdrew his hand and stuffed the whole tea egg directly into his mouth.
Zhang Ran glanced at him: "Be careful you don't choke to death." Egg yolks are the most choking thing. Once, she secretly ate one in the kitchen behind her parents' backs, and she choked so badly that her eyes rolled back and she almost passed out and suffocated to death.
Luo Laoliu was a man who listened to advice. He ate the tea egg in his mouth with goat milk for a long time before swallowing it, so as not to choke in front of her. He couldn't bear the embarrassment.
After having breakfast and slowly finishing a pot of tea, Luo Laoliu finally suggested taking her to see the old man.
