Chapter 647 Yin Li Arrives

But what no one expected was that Zhao Yunxuan suddenly appeared halfway and not only saved the Lu family from danger, but also uprooted the Shen and Zhou families.

Jiang Ning had clearly calculated that as long as he fed the medicine one more time during the chaos, Mother Lu would die quietly. But who could have thought that Mother Lu would actually wake up and spit out the accumulated blood?

"Could it be that she really took too many rare medicinal herbs? So she accidentally eliminated all the toxins?" The more Jiang Ning thought about it, the more unwilling she felt.

If this is true, then what are all her previous efforts worth?

If all her plans fail, what kind of image will she have in the prince's mind?

Just as she was thinking about how to continue to trip up the Lu family, there was a knock on the door: "Young lady, what are you doing in there? The young lady sent us to deliver something."

Xiao Liu came in with the servants and helped Jiang Ning dress up.

Seeing that Jiang Ning seemed unhappy, Xiao Liu smiled and said coaxingly, "Young lady, the old lady's awakening today is a great joyous occasion. You must not look so downcast. Let's go to the Du family for lunch together. There are lots of candied fruits and pastries there. I guarantee you will like them!"

Thinking of the Du family's lunch, Jiang Ning's eyes lit up, and a vicious plan came to his mind - if he let Lu's mother die at the Du family's banquet, it would not only achieve his goal, but also cause the relationship between the two families to break down!

It is even possible that the pregnant Hu Xin'er might give birth prematurely due to the shock.

Thinking so in her heart, she showed a sweet smile on her face: "Okay~"

This time, the Du family only invited the Lu family and Doctor He.

The courtyard purchased by Miss Du was just like the one owned by the Lu family. It was a place where someone had lived before. Therefore, although she did not add anything to it, it was not shabby.

The charcoal in the brazier burned bright red. Master Du, as the elder, sat at the head of the group and guzzled his wine. "Looking at the weather outside, I'm afraid it's going to snow soon. It's a good thing Zhou Jia took action now. Otherwise, if it got any colder, we'd lose our martial arts skills and be locked up in jail. Wouldn't those who haven't mastered the art be frozen to death?"

Miss Du frowned: "Dad, on such a festive day, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Who would nag about death when entertaining guests?

Master Du laughed heartily: "I made a mistake. I will drink three cups as punishment. Please forgive me!"

Mrs. Du shook her head. This didn't look like self-punishment at all, but rather like he was craving for wine.

The banquet was full of joy. Mr. Du thanked the Lu family for their timely help and also criticized the Shen and Zhou families for their sinister deeds over the years.

Just as he was cursing the Zhou family, a figure appeared at the door.

The man came out of the cold wind, wearing a black robe, a silver crown, and his white hair tied behind his back, looking quite eerie.

His features were truly picturesque, and his fierce expression diminished his natural weirdness.

Hu Xin'er saw the fan in his hand and stood up in surprise, shouting, "Yin Li, why are you here?"

Seeing her so happy, Yin Li's serious expression collapsed. Although he tried his best to suppress it, the corners of his lips couldn't help but curl up.

"It seems that even though this girl doesn't say it, she still cares about me in her heart." Thinking of this, he quickened his pace and rushed into the room in three or two steps.

Mr. Du and the others didn't recognize him and were shocked by his white hair and sudden increase in speed.

If it weren't for Hu Xiner's performance, they would probably have thought that this was an assassin hired by the Zhou family.

After all, Yin Li's appearance and behavior don't seem like that of a good person.

Just as Hu Xin'er was about to introduce Yin Li's identity to everyone, she heard him waving a fan behind her and saying leisurely, "If I don't come soon, your whole family will be killed by the traitor."

He looked at Mu Qing, tutted, and commented harshly, "How come you and your idiot man are both so useless, you stupid girl?"

"What do you mean?" Hu Xin'er's face darkened. "I'm warning you, this isn't the place for you to mess around. If you say anything nonsense again, I'll kick you out!"

She pumped her fist.

Yin Li twirled the folding fan in her hand, then slammed her head. "Fool, I've explained it so clearly, can't you see? This girl is the prince's spy, and also the traitor in your house!"

As he spoke, he quickly made a move and lifted up Jiang Ning who was sitting next to him.

Jiang Ning's neck was stuck by his collar, his face flushed red, and he struggled while crying loudly: "Auntie, help me, sister-in-law, help me——"

She struggled with her hands and feet, and she didn't look like she knew martial arts. Her innocent little face looked even more like a child's. How could she be a spy?

Not only were the people present stunned, but even Hu Xin'er, who had always trusted Yin Li the most, couldn't help but feel a little suspicious and distressed: "You said Ningning was the traitor, how is that possible?"

She pointed at Jiang Ning and said, "She's so young, how could she be the murderer who poisoned my mother?"

Yin Li narrowed his eyes: "You don't believe me?"

Hu Xin'er was a little embarrassed: "This..."

Mother Lu also came to the banquet today. She has always loved Jiang Ning the most. Now seeing the child hanging in the air, as if he was about to be suffocated to death, how could she bear it?

She ignored the servants' dissuasion and stumbled forward on her crutches, shouting at Yin Li, "Pavilion Master Yin, even though you've warned us several times that we're in danger, you can't joke about a little girl without any evidence, right?"

Yin Li was annoyed by Jiang Ning's crying, so she pressed a few acupoints on her and then pulled her sleeve.

"Crap!" The silk was torn, and this time even everyone in the Du family was angry.

"I don't care who you are, but humiliating a young girl in public is too much!" Master Du said with a sullen face. "If this hero doesn't let go, I will not be polite!"

Hu Xin'er hurriedly said, "Wait! Wait! I believe there must be some misunderstanding."

"Yin Li, if you hadn't told us about the traitor, Mother would have been murdered long ago." She said to Yin Li, "It's already this late, so stop being so upset."

She knew that Yin Li was a cocky and stubborn person. She would say something sharp even for no reason. If no one praised her, she would be even less willing to give people a good face. Even if she did something good, she would be too lazy to explain.

Yin Li snorted coldly: "If it weren't for your sake, who would bother with this?"

He simply tore off Jiang Ning's sleeves, and from the sleeves fell out several packets of medicine powder and small bags.

Yin Li picked up the powders and counted them one by one. "This is pumice powder. Consuming it can cause intestinal rupture and death. If sprinkled on food, it will enhance the flavor. I'm afraid it was prepared specially for today."
