Chapter 122 His Way

"I...I had a nightmare last night, so...so I didn't sleep well." Dan Yan explained in a panic.

She didn't notice that her hands began to shake uncontrollably while she was talking. This looked so strange that Pei Jingchuan and Xu Qingyan beside her naturally became suspicious.

Especially Pei Jingchuan, he glanced at Dan Yan calmly, his eyes fell on the cup of tea in her hand, his eyes were cold, but he still asked lightly: "Is this cup of tea prepared for me?"

"Yes, this cup of tea is prepared for the young master and the Crown Prince's wife. I will go and pour it right away." Dan Yan explained nervously.

Xu Qingyan deliberately said, "The young master and I are married. I drank his tea, so I'm sure the young master won't be in any trouble. Danyan, give it to me, and you can pour another cup for the young master."

Upon hearing this, Dan Yan couldn't help but said in a panic and somewhat embarrassed manner: "Princess, this... this tea is cold. I'll go make another cup."

"No need. The weather is a bit hot and I just want to drink something cold. Just give me this cup." Xu Qingyan called Dan Yan and looked at her seriously.

Dan Yan felt more and more guilty as she was being looked at. She was so anxious that she was about to cry. She could only slowly pass the teacup to Xu Qingyan.

Xu Qingyan stared at Dan Yan's face motionlessly. The distance between them was so short, but Dan Yan walked as hard as if he was crossing the Milky Way.

When Dan Yan handed the cup of tea to Xu Qingyan, Xu Qingyan took it without hesitation in front of Dan Yan, then slowly raised her hand while looking at Dan Yan.

"No! You can't drink it!" In the end, Dan Yan collapsed and walked forward, knocked over the teacup in Xu Qingyan's hand, then suddenly knelt on the ground and cried loudly.

Xu Qingyan and Pei Jingchuan both breathed a sigh of relief.

"Dan Yan, are you still not going to tell the truth?" Xu Qingyan's sharp gaze fell on Dan Yan.

Dan Yan cried for a while, then she spoke with tears streaming down her face: "Princess, I am guilty. I was forced to take the poison. He forced me to give the drugged tea to the young master. If I can't do it, I won't be able to get the antidote and will die of the poison, and he will also hurt my family! I deserve to die, I don't ask for a life, I just ask the princess to save my family! They are innocent, it's all my fault, I am willing to die, I just ask the princess to save them because I have served you for so long and tried my best!"

Xu Qingyan sighed helplessly and said angrily, "Who wants you to die? I won't kill you. Just tell me who asked you to poison me so that we can investigate."

Danyan had served her for so long and had always been loyal. This time, she was forced to poison but finally admitted it. Maybe the young master would punish her, but it would not be punishable by death. As for herself, she had a modern mindset and would certainly not blame Danyan for this. Instead, she would find the culprit. The person behind the scenes was wrong, not Danyan.

"I don't know who it is. I got up last night and was taken to a remote house. There was no light in the house and I could only see two men in black. His voice was very strange and it was hard to tell whether it was male or female. He first fed me poison and then told me to poison the young master. If I couldn't do it, he would kill me and my family." Dan Yan tried hard to recall what happened last night, with horror still on her face.

Xu Qingyan and Pei Jingchuan looked at each other and frowned. Didn't they see the person's face? Doesn't that mean there is no direct evidence? Even if they have a suspect in their hearts, but there is no direct evidence, it would be slander to rashly look for someone else.

"Someone, go get a doctor." At this time, Pei Jingchuan on the side did not ask any more questions, but directly ordered the servants to get a doctor.

Xu Qingyan looked at him in confusion and said, "Husband, how do we investigate this? Should we report it to the police?"

After Xu Qingyan finished speaking, she thought secretly: [Although Dan Yan did not see the other person's face clearly, if you think about it with your toes, it was Pei Jingyuan and Xu Qingyue who did it! Of course, Pei Jingyuan is more likely! If it was Xu Qingyue, she would definitely want to poison me, not the young master. However, Pei Jingyuan is also the biological son of the Duke of Guo. Without 100% evidence, the Duke of Guo probably saved him. What if Pei Jingyuan bites back and says that it was Dan Yan's slander, and then Dan Yan might be punished. It's better to report to the police and make a big deal. We don't say that Pei Jingyuan did it, but let all the signs point to him. At that time, even if there is no evidence, the Duke of Guo will surely feel guilty. Or maybe Pei Jingyuan will be restless and expose some flaws because of this. Who knows. ]

After Pei Jingyuan heard her inner complaints again, he pursed his thin lips, with a complicated expression on his face, and said, "No, it's too troublesome to report to the police. I have a better way."

"What method?" Xu Qingyan's eyes lit up when she heard that, and she looked at Pei Jingchuan in surprise.

Pei Jingchuan saw her surprised expression, smiled slightly and said: "You will know tomorrow."

No matter how Xu Qingyan asked, Pei Jingchuan refused to tell her what the solution was. She waited impatiently until the next day.

Early in the morning, Pei Jingchuan's secret guard knelt on the ground and took out several bottles from his body. He said, "Master, we have searched everywhere and wanted to take off his underwear. We only found these things. We also gave him medicine as you said."

"Well! Take it to the doctor and ask him to take a closer look to see which bottle can detoxify Dan Yan." Pei Jingchuan nodded lightly.

At this moment, Xu Qingyan suddenly understood. She opened her eyes wide and asked in surprise, "Husband, did you steal from Pei Jingyuan's room?"

Pei Jingchuan smiled when he heard this and said, "You and I both know that the people who want me dead the most in this mansion are him and Aunt Liu. Who else could it be besides him?"

"What medicine did you give him, my husband? Will he die?" Xu Qingyan continued to ask.

Xu Qingyan really suspected that Pei Jingchuan would kill him directly! As expected, Pei Jingchuan knew that it would be difficult to deal with Pei Jingyuan directly, so he used his own method to deal with him.

"No, he can't die yet. The big fish behind this has not been hooked yet, but this time he will be made to suffer a fate worse than death." Pei Jingchuan said calmly.

As soon as he finished speaking, footsteps were heard outside the door, and a servant with an anxious look walked in, bowed and said, "Young Master, the Second Young Master has been poisoned. Aunt Liu went crazy in front of the Duke and his men, saying nonsense that you wanted to harm him. The Duke and his men want you to come over."

Pei Jingchuan and Xu Qingyan went to Pei Jingyuan's yard together. His house was full of people at this time. From a distance, they could hear Liu Rumeng's sobbing and her dissatisfied questioning of the Duke's wife: "The one who dislikes Jingyuan the most in the Duke's Mansion is the young master. The young master must hate him, so he had someone poison him. Otherwise, Jingyuan is such a good person, I can't think of anyone who would harm him like this? And this is in the Duke's Mansion, outsiders can't get in at all. Madam, please! Let the young master hand over the antidote!"

Just as Pei Jingchuan was about to step into the room, he heard Liu Rumeng scolding and begging her mother.
