Inside the tent, Shen Xirou was worried that her son wanted to chase after her, but she was stopped by Lord Quan.
Shen Xirou said angrily, "Cousin, it's one thing that you don't care about Xiaoye usually, but now that Xiaoye is behaving so strangely, you still don't care at all. Do you even deserve to be a father?"
The city lord said coldly, "Then you put medicine in the soup and forced me to drink it. Do you even deserve to be a wife?"
"Wife? What kind of wife am I? I'm just a concubine!" Shen Xirou's voice grew even more hateful as she spoke. "You betrayed me first, and you should bear the consequences of everything that has happened today! How could you drag my son into this!"
Seeing that Shen Xirou was speaking unpleasantly, Que Junya lifted the tent flap and went inside.
Quan Shaofeng and Quan Shaochuan quickly followed, while Si Er peeked out from outside the tent, looking like he really wanted to go in but was too embarrassed.
Que Junya turned around and saw his expression, so she couldn't help but laugh and waved to him.
Si Er's eyes lit up, and she quickly pulled Yu Beixuan inside, while Feng Yingzhi followed closely behind with Xu Yuling.
However, since they were not familiar with any of the Quan family members, they tried to keep their presence to themselves and stood in the far corner of the tent.
Shen Xirou was surprised by the large number of people who suddenly entered. Her face froze instantly. She turned to go out and look for her son, but Quan Shaofeng stopped her.
Quan Shaofeng pulled out a small paper packet and smiled, "Father, this is the medicine Aunt Shen wanted to put in your soup. Would you like her to try it first?"
Lord Quan frowned; he still couldn't bring himself to use excessive force on his little cousin. Before he was certain of the drugs' effects, he couldn't possibly administer them to any acquaintance.
Lord Quan of Yubei Xuan Dynasty bowed respectfully and asked, "Uncle Quan, may I take a look at that paper package?"
"Yu Beixuan?" City Lord Quan looked at Yu Beixuan a couple more times before recognizing him. "Does this paper package look familiar?"
Yu Beixuan nodded and smiled, "That's right. The junior and Si Er just came from Nanfeng City. Before we came, there was a poisoning case there. The paper packet the other party had was similar to the one Brother Quan had."
"Uncle Quan, do you know what's in that paper package?"
"What is it?" Lord Quan already had a bad feeling.
Yu Beixuan truthfully said, "The paper package contained Soul-Devouring Insect eggs, which the other party intended to use on Uncle Jun, but we ended up using them on the poisoner."
After he finished speaking, he described to Lord Quan the miserable state of Nan Yutian at that time, and also said that those insect eggs were obtained by Nan Yutian from the insect race.
Those words sent chills down everyone's spines, and Quan Shaochuan got goosebumps all over his body.
Quan Shaochuan rubbed his arms and said, "This is too terrifying! If my older brother hadn't helped Father switch the medicine, wouldn't Quan Shaoye have been crippled just now?"
Upon hearing this, Quan Shaofeng said regretfully, "You're right. If I had known that Quan Shaoye would drink the soup, I wouldn't have switched it before."
Shen Xirou's murderous gaze immediately shot towards Quan Shaofeng. She felt that Que Junya's sons were one stupid and one vicious. Look at her cousin's most valued eldest son, he was truly wicked and chilling.
My cousin wanted to hand over everything to Quan Shaofeng to inherit. If Quan Shaofeng really inherited it, how would he and his mother survive?
So she was not wrong to harm her cousin; it was all her cousin's fault that she was forced into this situation!
Lord Quan never expected that Shen Xirou would give him such a thing. He turned his head and looked at Shen Xirou in disbelief, speechless for a long time.
Que Junya then turned and left the tent: "This matter is tantamount to Shen Xirou colluding with the insect race, which is no different from betraying the human race. I need to call the other elders in charge to discuss this together."
Lord Quan did not speak to stop her, tacitly approving Que Junya's actions.
If Shen Xirou had used other poisons, he could have protected her to some extent, saved her life, and confined her to her quarters for life.
