Listening to Jiang Segu mimicking Madam Song's tone and saying the same things, Jiang Youhui was unable to remain as composed as Jiang Segu.

"Sixth sister, I had no choice. If I didn't do as grandfather said, he wouldn't let me off!"

Her tone was tense, and her face looked flustered, suggesting that she was telling the truth.

"What happened today has absolutely nothing to do with your mother?"

Her flat tone made it impossible to discern her joy or sorrow.

Jiang Youhui hesitated for a moment before nodding.

Her hesitation took on a different meaning in Jiang Segu's eyes.

"Then let's pretend that today's events have nothing to do with Second Aunt. I have something else I'd like to ask Seventh Sister. Have Second Uncle and Second Aunt been acting strangely lately? Think carefully, have they seen any unusual people? Or, have the servants in the mansion been going to the back courtyard often? Or have the maids and servants in Second Aunt's courtyard been coming and going frequently?"

Jiang Youhui's small face, no bigger than a palm, was as white as a sheet of Xuan paper, delicate and fragile, making it clear at a glance that things had been going wrong in the second wife's family lately.

Thinking back to how his second aunt had left without looking back, Jiang Segu suddenly found the two women, Jiang's second grandmother and her daughter, quite interesting!

"It seems that Seventh Sister has thought of something. Why don't we talk to Sixth Sister before Second Aunt comes? Let's make it a good relationship. If Seventh Sister ever needs anything in the future, just come to me. I will definitely not stand idly by!"

Jiang Youhui knew Jiang Segu's favored status in the Marquis's mansion, and understood that although what she said was not entirely true, it was about 70% true.

Besides, she had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time!

Therefore, she hesitated only slightly before revealing what she knew.

“My mother’s maid, Doukou, has been going out of the mansion frequently lately. Once, I asked my maid, Chunli, to go out with her and found that she always went to Huangmei Lane.”

Later, Chunli was discovered and beaten to death by my mother in front of me, and as a result, I was confined to my home..."

Huangmei Lane!

Therefore, it can be concluded that the doctor was bribed by my second aunt!

"As for my father, although he often comes to the backyard, I rarely see him. However, he is very good to me, so I gave the old woman guarding the second gate some silver. Whenever my father returns to the backyard, she will have someone notify me. Then I will use the excuse of paying my respects to my mother to go find my father..."

Jiang Segu noticed that when Jiang Youhui said this, neither her expression nor her tone showed any affection for her child; instead, it was filled with a numb hatred!

Even if she didn't have a good relationship with her father, she wouldn't have acted like this in front of others in her previous life!

Jiang Youhui continued speaking.

"Once, I heard that my father had returned, so I secretly went to my mother's courtyard. For some reason, the maids were all waiting at the door that day. When they saw me, they said that my father and mother were resting and told me to go back."

I was unwilling to accept not seeing my father, but I couldn't outwardly defy the people in my mother's courtyard, so I pretended to leave. Actually, I went around to the back of the courtyard, climbed the banyan tree on the back wall, and used the banyan tree and the persimmon tree in the courtyard as cover to reach the back window of my mother's bedroom. I heard my father and mother talking..."

Jiang Youhui's tone fluctuated, revealing a kind of gritted-teeth hatred. Then, as if she were lost in memories of that day, her face became somewhat ferocious, and she remained silent for a long time.

Jiang Segu grew anxious and asked, "What are Second Uncle and Second Aunt talking about?"

Jiang Youhui looked up at Jiang Segu, a sarcastic and pathetic smile playing on her lips.

In that smile, Jiang Segu also saw a hint of pity!

Jiang Youhui is pitying her!

Why?

Just as Jiang Youhui was about to speak, a slight noise came from the doorway.

In the blink of an eye, the door was pushed open.

The brilliant sunlight shone behind the newcomer, casting a shimmering glow on his armor. Because of the backlight, Jiang Segu couldn't see the newcomer's face, but he could picture the man's worried eyes in his mind.

The next instant, the person was standing in front of her, his handsome face filled with worry and anger, the same face she had been thinking of.

Jiang Segu suddenly smiled.

Gu Songhan took out the small celadon porcelain bottle from his pocket, poured out a Hundred-Cure Pill, and held it to Jiang Segu's lips. "Open your mouth!"

Jiang Segu's smile widened even more. "I'm not poisoned!"

Gu Songhan's dark eyes lit up slightly. "I heard you were poisoned, so I disregarded all etiquette and rushed over!"

These words sounded like he was taking credit, but Jiang Segu knew that Gu Songhan was implying that his second aunt had lied when she came to him!

Jiang Segu glanced behind Gu Songhan and didn't see Jiang Er's grandmother, but only two old women lying on the ground by the door. She was somewhat surprised.

"When I heard you were poisoned, I momentarily forgot about your esteemed second mistress!"

Jiang Segu chuckled, but then realized it wasn't the right time and quickly suppressed his laughter, "My mother was poisoned by Madam Song..."

Gu Songhan then realized that there were other people in the room.

The neglected Grandma Jiang was meeting Gu Songhan for the first time. She was very pleased to see that he was tall and imposing, with an extraordinary bearing, and that his every move was filled with love for his daughter.

But I wonder if this person is afraid of the splendid Song family?

"This junior greets Aunt Jiang. Aunt Jiang, how have you been?"

Grandma Jiang nodded, "I'm sorry to trouble Deputy Commander Gu to risk his life to come."

Gu Songhan was about to say something more to improve his impression of the young girl's mother, but Jiang Segu hurriedly said, "My mother has been poisoned. I wonder if this antidote will work? If it doesn't, I'll take my mother back to the manor to find Doctor Li!"

"The Hundred-Cure Pill is a miraculous antidote. Although it cannot guarantee a cure, it should be able to slow down the onset of the poison!"

As he spoke, he handed the Hundred-Cure Pill to Jiang Segu.

Jiang Segu took it and personally fed it to Grandma Jiang.

Gu Songhan asked, "How was Aunt Jiang poisoned?"

Jiang Segu raised his chin towards the teacup on the coffee table. "Madam Song poisoned the tea!"

Gu Songhan picked up a teacup from the coffee table and saw that there was still some tea inside. He asked Jiang Segu for a handkerchief and poured all the tea onto the handkerchief.

"Some poisons cannot be detected by pulse diagnosis. We need to take the poison back to Uncle Li. I'll escort you out of the courtyard first!"

"Aren't you coming with us? What if Madam Song takes her anger out on you because of this...?"

"Don't worry about me. While Madam Song is too busy to attend to things here, you should leave quickly!"

At this moment, Jiang Youhui spoke up, "Sixth Sister, what about me?"

Jiang Segu pondered for a moment before pouring out a single antidote pill from the porcelain bottle. "Seventh Sister, you've heard it too. This antidote pill can't cure this poison. On the way back to the manor, I hope Seventh Sister can answer my questions!"

Just as Jiang Youhui was about to nod, Second Grandma Jiang arrived, panting heavily.

Her eyes were fixed on the black pill in Jiang Segu's hand. She quickly stepped forward and asked, "Azi, is this the antidote?"
