Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heiress

Chapter 1233 - Is Lin Yingxin Actually Insane?



Chapter 1233: Is Lin Yingxin Actually Insane?

The owner of Boya Pavilion did not expect that Lin Yingxin would become mentally unstable and reveal the truth to everyone at the gala.

She actually had some ties with the Li Family. When Xia Ruya arrived in Capital city to further her education, Old Mr. Li specially called her to request her to look after Xia Ruya. She was in awe of Xia Ruya who was beautiful and smart and thus, planned to nurture Xia Ruya and make her the future successor of Boya Pavilion.

She knew that Xia Ruya wanted to attack Wen Xinya, but did not stop her nor give her any help. She only allowed her to plot against Wen Xinya during the Heiress’ Gala. After all, she had gotten used to seeing scheming tricks being pulled and devious schemes being carried out during the previous galas and hence, did not take it to heart.

However, she did not expect things to escalate this far.

In recent years, the reputation of the Heiress’ Gala had greatly decreased and those who were still willing to attend the gala nowadays, all belonged to second- or third-class families that were not too significant in the upper-class society.

If word about the commotion caused by Lin Yingxin spread to the public, the reputation of the Heiress’ Gala would be completely ruined and she would even be implicated by Xia Ruya and Lin Yingxin. Once her reputation was damaged, she would forever lose her footing and place in the upper-class society.

The thought of it made the owner yell sternly, “Miss Lin has been possessed by a demon. Hurry and send her to the hospital!”

She was just trying to say that Lin Yingxin had gone insane and that no one should trust the words of a lunatic.

At this point, everyone had already gotten all worked up and flustered because of the chaotic brawl between Xia Ruya and Lin Yingxin, so much that they did not even have the time to think or recover from the shock. The owner had always been esteemed and respected in the upper-class society and hence, she definitely exuded a stern and commanding aura. Those who were willing to attend the gala mostly respected her.

At this moment, everyone instinctively turned to look at Lin Yingxin who had a daunting and menacing expression on her face while behaving hysterically. If she weren’t mentally unsound, why would she behave that way?

Hence, everyone believed the words of the owner without a doubt.

The owner sighed and lamented. “She’s such a silly child. She’s merely lost a competition and got criticized by others. It’s no big deal at all. Why did she have to take it so harshly?”

She was just trying to say that Lin Yingxin had gone crazy because she could not take the massive blow of losing to Wen Xinya and being criticized by others.

Everyone realized that Lin Yingxin had indeed lost control of her emotions after losing the competition and hearing others criticize her.

“I can’t believe Lin Yingxin went crazy just like that!”

“There’s nothing to be shocked about. Everyone now knows that she made use of her friend to rise to the position. How is she supposed to face others in Capital city from now on? It’s only expected that she wouldn’t be able to take the blow.”

“Losing the competition was nothing compared to having her true colors and her despicable nature exposed. If put in her shoes, no one would be able to accept it.”

The owner felt a great sense of relief upon seeing that the situation was within control.

At this point, Lin Yingxin and Xia Ruya had also been separated from each other. Lin Yingxin’s hair was unkempt and her face was as red as a tomato while she glared at Xia Ruya with resentment in her eyes. Her clothes were all messed up and she looked rather maniacal.

On the other hand, Xia Ruya had it worse. Her hair was as messy as that of a madwoman’s, all because of Lin Yingxin’s tugging. There were also multiple bloodied scratches on her beautiful face which created a terrifying sight. There were also welts on her neck and her clothes were all tattered and torn, thus revealing her chest.

Wen Xinya stared at everything in contempt with an icy cold gaze in her eyes. Glaring daggers at the owner, she said, “Jimsonweed is a kind of flower that’s beautiful and resplendent. It’s also a commonly used medicinal herb with a wide variety of uses, like calming one’s senses, suppressing pain, and providing anesthetic relief. Of course, it’s also poisonous!”

As soon as the owner heard Wen Xinya’s words, she knew that she was in trouble and that the situation would soon go out of control again. She could sense the particularly cold gaze in Wen Xinya’s eyes which sent a cold shiver down her spine. She knew that the matter would not be resolved simply. She would never forget that Wen Xinya had Old Mr. Mo to support her!

Wen Xinya’s words caught everyone’s attention, as they began to get curious about the jimsonweed that Lin Yingxin was talking about.

Wen Xinya continued, “Jimsonweed won’t damage one’s health when taken in small amounts, but there will be poisonous effects when taken in large doses. It will result in fatigue, hallucinations, and in some serious cases, extreme exhilaration. It will agitate the brain cells and result in a vigorous reaction that would cause one to behave hysterically. However, the toxic effects of jimsonweed will usually vanish within four to six hours. Hence, most people won’t discover the effects.”

The owner of Boya Pavilion tried to use her status and authority to keep the status in control by making Lin Yingxin seem like a mentally unsound person. However, Wen Xinya decided to go against her and revealed the toxicity of jimsonweed, simply because she wanted to let everyone know that Lin Yingxin was merely behaving that way because of the jimsonweed. In that case, that would mean that Lin Yingxin was not really mentally unsound.

It would then mean that Lin Yingxin’s claims were valid and that Xia Ruya had indeed set her up during the gala with the help of the owner. The owner would also be implicated and held responsible while the reputation of the gala would get destroyed.

Wen Xinya’s words were like a tossed stone that raised a thousand ripples.

Wen Xinya said calmly, “Although most people don’t know much about jimsonweed, you guys will know if I’m telling the truth by going online to search about it.”

Actually, everyone believed Wen Xinya. After all, they all knew that she had learned about Traditional Chinese Medicine from Old Mr. Du. However, there were still some who whipped their mobile phones out and searched about jimsonweed on the internet.

Everyone was greatly taken aback after finding out about the toxic properties of jimsonweed.

Standing in the porch, the owner began coughing violently while others stared at her in suspicion, apprehension, and disbelief. She swayed unsteadily, almost losing her balance.

She coughed so loudly that even the ones who heard her could not help but feel perturbed.

One of the judges held onto her and patted her back in a bid to soothe her discomfort. “Don’t get too worked up. The doctor said that you shouldn’t get too angry.”

The owner ignored his advice and tried her best to stop coughing, but to no avail. Glaring at Xia Ruya sternly, she questioned, “Ruya, what exactly is going on?”

There was a terrifying tone of anger in her hoarse voice which stunned everyone.
