Chapter 147 Jiang Xueruo's End]

Jiang Xueruo seemed to feel Xiao Yunqi's gaze, and she raised her eyes and looked at Xiao Yunqi with affection.

She had just mustered up the courage to volunteer, but it was actually a desperate gamble.

Xu Liang is a medicinal herb merchant, but compared with the powerful Prince Jin in front of him, there is a world of difference!

She prided herself on being somewhat pretty, and as long as His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin took a fancy to her, perhaps she could return to the capital with him, and perhaps even become the prince's consort in the future?

After injecting the medicine, Xiao Yunqi waved his hand and said, "Lock them up first. If I recover, I will reward you handsomely!"

When his men heard this, they immediately took Xu Liang and Jiang Xueruo away and locked them up without saying a word.

On the second day, Xiao Yunqi's high fever actually subsided!

Xiao Yunqi was delighted and immediately asked someone to bring Jiang Xueruo in and had sex with her that day.

He also discovered that Jiang Xueruo was no longer a virgin.

But it doesn't matter to him.

Although Jiang Xueruo was quite pretty, she was not pretty enough for him to take back to the capital to be made a concubine or a maid. He would play with her once or twice to relieve his boredom on the way, and then he would let her go.

Besides, Xu Liang and Jiang Xueruo should be a couple, right? Having an affair with a married woman is quite exciting.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yunqi couldn't help but think of Chen Fenghe again.

What a pity that I didn’t get her in Qizhou City before!

When he returned to the capital, he immediately sent someone to ask the officials to report her sudden death and bring her back to the capital secretly!

Jiang Xueruo had no idea what Xiao Yunqi was thinking. She thought she had climbed up the social ladder and was extremely happy.

Unexpectedly, within two days, Xiao Yunqi casually gave Xu Liang and her a hundred taels of silver, drove them out, and even confiscated their jar of medicine.

Jiang Xueruo was dumbfounded. How could this happen? His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin had been demanding too much from her these past two days, so why would he suddenly drive her away?

Xu Liang was also stunned. He hadn't expected that His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin was so stingy!

He had brought medicine to save his life! And all he did was give him a hundred taels of silver? And then he took his medicine away?!

If he went to Qizhou City to sell that jar of medicine, he could probably get one thousand and two taels of silver!

One hundred taels of silver, giving to a beggar?!

However, who is the King of Jin?

No matter how unwilling Xu Liang and Jiang Xueruo were, they didn't dare to say a word. They took the one hundred taels of silver and left in shame.

Xu Liang naturally also knew that Jiang Xueruo had been favored by Prince Jin. Originally, he planned to take her home as a concubine, but now he felt disgusted when he saw Jiang Xueruo, and his attitude became much colder.

Jiang Xueruo failed to climb up the high branch, and now she wanted to turn back and continue to climb up Xu Liang. Seeing Xu Liang's cold attitude, she felt very regretful and had to be humble and serve Xu Liang.

However, Xu Liang had long since disliked her. When he arrived in a county town, he found a man at random and sold her to him as a concubine for fifty taels of silver.

However, as soon as Xu Liang left, he was arrested by the police and taken to the yamen on charges of human trafficking. He was quickly sentenced to death and all his property was confiscated.

As for Jiang Xueruo, the man who bought her saw that she was young and spent fifty taels on her, thinking he had bought a virgin. However, he found out that she was a second-hand commodity. He beat Jiang Xueruo up and after playing with her for a few days, he wanted to sell her to a brothel.

At this moment, a masked man suddenly appeared, beat the man up, and rescued Jiang Xueruo.

The masked man took Jiang Xueruo to a dark alley and then took off the black cloth on his face.

Jiang Xueruo stared at the man in front of her, and suddenly burst into tears: "Brother! Brother! Is that you? Why did you come just now..."

The person who saved him was Jiang Guizhou.

Jiang Guizhou took a step away coldly, avoiding her hand, and said coldly: "Jiang Xueruo, Dad is dead."

Jiang Xueruo looked at her brother's cold expression and suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart.

"Dad... is dead? He... has always been in poor health..."

Jiang Guizhou looked at her coldly and interrupted her: "It was you who stole the medicine that caused Dad to die."

Jiang Xueruo's face suddenly turned pale: "Brother! Brother! I didn't mean it! It was that man who deceived me with sweet words, so I... Brother, please forgive me! I am your biological sister! Daddy also told you to take care of me... Now I... have nothing, wuwu..."

Jiang Guizhou looked at the panicked Jiang Xueruo, his tone still cold and emotionless: "Jiang Xueruo, I saved you today because you are my sister's last friendship. From now on, you are you, I am me, and we have nothing to do with each other! Take care of yourself!"

Having said that, Jiang Guizhou walked away without looking back.

Jiang Xueruo was completely panicked and struggled to catch up, but Jiang Guizhou was fast and soon left her behind and could not find him.

Jiang Guizhou entered a dark alley, and the man in black waiting inside asked calmly, "Is it okay?"

Jiang Guizhou nodded and said, "Let's go!"

Chen Fenghe left the medicine to Jiang Guizhou that night, and the next night, Jiang Xueruo stole the medicine and ran away.

The first time you could say it was stupid, the second time it was just bad.

Especially...his and Old Man Jiang's illnesses had not been completely cured yet, but the medicine was stolen by his own sister.

Old Man Jiang didn't make it, and Jiang Guizhou also had a narrow escape from death. If he hadn't been so lucky and hadn't been rescued when he was dying, he would have been killed by his own sister!

He was able to save Jiang Xueruo, which was already the most he could do!

In Qizhou City, Yuan Xu reported to Xiao Yunshuo, "Your Highness, the people who secretly followed the Fifth Prince sent back news. The Fifth Prince left Qizhou City overnight and was looking for a doctor along the way. He even asked intentionally or unintentionally if he had been poisoned or something..."

Xiao Yunshuo frowned slightly.

Poison?

Yes, Chen Fenghe fed him a pill that day, saying that it would make him lose his memory of that day.

Could it be that this is why Xiao Yunqi is so suspicious and suspects that someone has also given him the Forget-Me-Not Gu?

However, the poison in his body was originally given to him by Xiao Yunqi. Doesn’t Xiao Yunqi have an antidote?

Moreover, even if he suspected that he had been poisoned, why did he leave and return to Beijing overnight?

Could it be that... there is an antidote in the capital?

Xiao Yunshuo pressed his forehead. He had actually always suspected that Xiao Yunqi was plotting against him and there was something else behind it.

At first, he always thought that Xiao Yunqi was being used by his father, but later he felt more and more that it was not that simple.

Could it be that... there was someone else behind the poison he was given?
