Chapter 69: Poisoning

This idea touched the old lady's heart.

After rolling the Buddhist beads twice, the old lady finally nodded with a smile, "Okay, let Jinjian also hear about the excitement at home."

"Wei Yuan, thank you for the trouble you've made."

Liang Weiyuan pondered the scene for a moment. Huo Jin disliked the second wife, but his only thought was to be filial to the old lady.

If the old lady is happy with all her children and grandchildren gathered together, he will also be happy and will naturally not refuse.

Thinking about it, Liang Weiyuan agreed to the old lady's words, turned around and went to Qingzhu Courtyard.

But no one noticed the vicious look that quickly flashed across Yu's eyes at this moment.

In the courtyard, Huo Jin was seen leaning against a wheelchair, his tall figure set off by a dark brocade robe, and his aura was clear and imposing.

He heard light footsteps approaching from afar, and his straight back tensed slightly.

Soon, the familiar fragrance of the woman lingered to his nose. He smiled faintly and said with gestures, "I'm back."

Now I know it's her without even hearing the voice.

Liang Weiyuan was surprised by Huo Jin's sharp observation. She walked over and bowed slightly to help him straighten his clothes. Her fingertips touched his hot neck. "We're having lunch at home. Grandmother asked you to sit in the main hall and join in the fun."

Huo Jin felt the familiar warmth of his fingertips and a low, hoarse response rolled out of his throat, which was considered as an agreement.

At the same time, he wrote the word "be careful" on her palm.

Liang Weiyuan's eyes flashed with warmth, and she patted the back of his hand gently: "Don't worry, it's just a meal, and the Second House can't do anything in front of everyone."

However, to their surprise, something unexpected happened on the way to the main hall.

"Further ahead is the waterside pavilion—"

As he was speaking, when the wheelchair rolled over the third bluestone slab, Liang Weiyuan suddenly heard a crisp "click" sound.

The left axle suddenly sank into a half-inch deep crack - the edge of the crack was fresh, as if it had been recently dug by a sharp weapon.

"not good."

It was a downhill road, and Liang Weiyuan immediately tried to stabilize the wheelchair.

However, the wheelchair was made of sandalwood and was extremely heavy. With just a little effort, the damaged bluestone slabs underneath suddenly collapsed and shattered layer by layer, and the wheelchair immediately rushed down the slope uncontrollably.

Liang Weiyuan reacted very quickly and lowered her arms to grab it tightly, but she didn't care about Huo Jin who was sitting there.

Under the intense downward force, Huo Jin didn't have time to ask what happened before his whole body flew out of control and rolled down the slope towards the pool.

The "plop" sound shook the surface of the pond, and the water splashed three feet high.

Huo Jin suddenly felt countless streams of cold water pouring into his lungs, and was horrified.

But his hands and feet, which had already been unresponsive, now felt like they were filled with lead, sinking heavily to the bottom of the water, unable to struggle at all.

This happened unexpectedly, and the lake water quickly drowned out his breathing. In just a moment, Huo Jin's face turned pale.

"ah!"

The maidservant not far away saw this scene and screamed, running to report, "Oh no! The eldest lady pushed the eldest young master into the water!"

On the shore, Liang Weiyuan had no time to care about the maid. With a cold face, she pushed the wheelchair to the side as quickly as possible, otherwise the wheelchair would slide down and hit Huo Jinjian who fell into the water.

Without any hesitation, she took a deep breath and jumped into the pool. The icy coldness of the water instantly penetrated her clothes.

In the green lake, Liang Weiyuan quickly found Huo Jinjian's sinking figure. His messy black hair was tangled around his pale neck, where he had choked on a lot of water. His tightly closed eyebrows seemed to be filled with pain.

When she swam over, she realized the man's body was incredibly heavy in the water. Liang Weiyuan pursed her lips and tried her best to drag him to shore.

"call!"

When the person was finally lifted onto the stone bank, Liang Weiyuan, wet all over, took a deep breath of air.

At this moment, the messy hair stuck to Huo Jinjian's pale cheeks. His eyes were closed unconsciously, his lips were a horrifying dark blue, and his chest had stopped moving.

"See you, Huo Jin!" Liang Weiyuan tore open his wet clothes in horror, and her fingertips touched his cold chest, but there was no beating of his heart.

Suddenly her heart seemed to stop beating for a moment.

She didn't care about the differences between men and women, and immediately knelt down beside Huo Jinjian, wiping the water stains from his lips with a handkerchief.

Looking at the man's high nose bridge and tightly furrowed brows, she took another deep breath, and then covered his lips without hesitation.

The warm breath flowed into his mouth, and Liang Weiyuan could feel his cold lips trembling slightly under her breath.

Liang Weiyuan could almost hear her own nervous and violent heartbeat. She didn't dare to pause for a moment and continued to breathe in and out while holding up the man's lips and tongue.

His eyes were fixed on my nose, and I could even clearly see the water droplets rolling down his eyelashes.

Not long after, Huo Jin's body finally trembled violently, and a faint cough came from his throat.

After spitting out a few mouthfuls of water, he gently scratched the back of her hand with his fingers.

"You're awake!" Liang Weiyuan breathed rapidly, her eyes fixed on him. She had never felt so frightened.

However, Huo Jin's mind was in chaos and heaviness at this moment, and he felt a burning pain coming from his lungs.

Thinking of something, he gritted his teeth and wrote out a few words with his last consciousness: "water" and "poisonous".

“Ahem—”

The next moment, Huo Jin saw a few mouthfuls of black blood gushing out of his throat, flowing down his tightly pursed thin lips and forming a purple-black scab.

Liang Weiyuan's pupils suddenly shrank.

"What's going on?!"

Just at this moment, everyone in the main hall heard the news and rushed over, and were shocked to see this scene.
