Chapter 117 Adventure

Xu Qingyue bit her lip when she was called by Xu Qingyan, and was about to say: "I am just a concubine, and I will listen to all this..."

But before Xu Qingyue could finish the rest of her words, Pei Jingyuan confidently interrupted her.

"Qingyue, of course you have to listen to me. In that case, let my cousin and aunt stay here and go back when they want to. Cousin, you don't have to be afraid." After saying that, Pei Jingyuan gave Zhao Shiwen a comforting look.

At this moment, Zhao Shiwen's heart seemed to be filled with warmth, and she was overjoyed. She didn't expect that Pei Jingyuan, who was also a son of the Duke's Mansion, was much gentler than Pei Jingchuan. In an instant, her favorability towards Pei Jingyuan increased a lot.

Xu Qingyue, who was watching the interaction between the two, was jealous and resentful. She had originally asked Zhao Shiwen to seduce Pei Jingchuan, but now it seemed that she had brought trouble upon herself! No, she must find a chance to drive them out.

"Well, in that case, my aunt and the others will continue to live in Cuiyu Pavilion. You will be asked to take good care of them in the future." After hearing what Pei Jingyuan said, Xu Qingyan nodded and agreed.

Seeing Xu Qingyue's face full of resentment, but holding back, Xu Qingyan was so happy. This is called shooting oneself in the foot!

Pei Jingyuan didn't care too much. He turned his gaze back to Pei Jingchuan and said to him, "Brother, now that you have seen the ability of Doctor Fu, can you let Doctor Fu take a look at you? Maybe Doctor Fu can cure your illness. If so, it would be a great thing. Father and mother would be very happy too."

Pei Jingchuan and Xu Qingyan looked at each other after hearing this, and then nodded and said, "Yes."

Just now, while Doctor Fu was treating Xu Fengping, Xu Qingyan and the others had someone get a cup of drugged tea for Pei Jingchuan to drink. The drug was used to deliberately confuse the pulse so that people could not see Pei Jingchuan's physical condition.

Pei Jingyuan was delighted when he heard this, and immediately asked Doctor Fu to check Pei Jingchuan's pulse. Although Doctor Fu's medical skills were not that great, he was still able to check Pei Jingchuan's physical condition and toxins.

Doctor Fu placed his hand on Pei Jingchuan's pulse, his brows knitted in confusion. He probed over and over for a long time without saying a word.

"Young master, please take out your other hand." Doctor Fu was not giving up and said respectfully.

Pei Jingchuan generously extended his other hand, but Doctor Fu still frowned. It was strange, why couldn't he see clearly?

"Doctor Fu, how is my elder brother's health?" Pei Jingyuan saw Doctor Fu frowning and couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

Doctor Fu repeatedly checked for a long time but still could not find anything. He could only bow to Pei Jingyuan helplessly and apologize: "I'm sorry, I'm incompetent. I can't do anything for the young master's illness."

Hearing this, Pei Jingyuan looked at Doctor Fu in surprise. He didn't quite understand whether this meant that they were helpless and couldn't find the cause, or that Pei Jingchuan was already terminally ill.

Therefore, he could only think about asking later, and then looked at Pei Jingchuan with a guilty look and said, "Brother, don't worry. Although Doctor Fu can't help, I will continue to look for other doctors."

Since everything has been fooled, Pei Jingchuan doesn't want to continue to play along with him.

Pei Jingchuan waved his hand and said, "Forget it, you don't have to worry about it anymore. I have my own ideas about my own affairs. Next time, don't alarm father about this. If you are free, I will ask someone to arrange something for you to do."

Pei Jingyuan's heart skipped a beat when he heard Pei Jingchuan's words. He knew that Pei Jingchuan's words were undoubtedly a warning to him not to make trouble. He could only nod in embarrassment.

After Pei Jingchuan and the others left, he personally saw the genius doctor off from the Duke's Mansion. After leaving the Duke's Mansion, the two of them talked openly in the carriage.

"Young Master, what is going on? What's the status of the poison in his body now? Has it been cured or is it serious?" Pei Jingyuan asked anxiously.

Ever since Pei Jingchuan ate Ganoderma lucidum and was saved from paralysis last time, he has been a little confused.

Seeing that there were no outsiders around at the moment, Doctor Fu could only speak truthfully: "Second Young Master, this young master's pulse is very strange. I can't feel it. I don't know if it's because the poison is too strong."

"You can't even find out? Are your medical skills so useless?" Pei Jingyuan cursed in annoyance.

When Doctor Fu heard this, he felt depressed, but he didn't dare to confront Pei Jingyuan, after all, he was the financial sponsor.

Therefore, he could only save his dignity by saying, "In most cases, the poison is too strong and affects the pulse. I estimate that Young Master Pei will not live long."

"Okay, go now!" Pei Jingyuan jumped off the carriage with some disappointment, and then sent Doctor Fu away.

He was a little disappointed that he didn't get a definite answer. It seemed that it was impossible to get rid of Pei Jingchuan without leaving any trace.

After Pei Jingyuan returned home, he went to his mother Liu Rumeng's yard.

After Liu Rumeng was taught a lesson several times, she has been well behaved for a while. Recently, she has been watching silently in the Duke's Mansion without taking any action.

At this moment, she saw Pei Jingyuan coming to her room with a worried look on his face, and couldn't help but ask in confusion: "What happened? You are so worried."

Pei Jingyuan looked at Liu Rumeng guiltily and said, "Mom, I'm afraid you will have to take a risk again this time."

"What do you mean? What do you want me to do?" Liu Rumeng asked curiously.

So Pei Jingyuan told Liu Rumeng everything about the Third Prince looking for him.

After listening to this, Liu Rumeng couldn't help but frown and said, "It's a good thing that the Third Prince agrees with our goal, but he is a little too impatient and hasty. Now we are disliked by the Duke. If we make another move this time, we will be caught and either executed or expelled from the Duke's Mansion. This is too risky for us."

They have failed several times in a row in their attempts to deal with Pei Jingchuan. Now Liu Rumeng has become much more obedient and vigilant, and does not want to act rashly again.

After hearing this, Pei Jingyuan said, "Mom, you are right, but this opportunity is rare. Now that Daxia is peaceful, it is too difficult for me to make achievements and get promoted. Qingyue's father has been a sixth-rank official for his entire life. If I don't work hard, I'm afraid it will take a long time for us to achieve our goal."

"What you said makes some sense, but this is still too risky. We need to be cautious." Liu Rumeng was nervous and said after thinking for a moment.

Just now, Pei Jingyuan asked her to find someone to get another dose of poison that would kill Pei Jingchuan within a month. She might be able to get this poison, but it would be difficult to give it to Pei Jingchuan without anyone noticing.

Now, Pei Jingchuan and his men were already on guard against them, so if they wanted to poison them, it would be too difficult.

Pei Jingyuan saw Liu Rumeng's hesitation, but after thinking about it, he made up his mind. To achieve great things, don't you need the courage to gamble?

Therefore, he looked at Liu Rumeng firmly and said, "Mother, just get me the medicine. I will do it myself this time without asking anyone else to do it for me."
