Seeing Qin Yunyun's stunned expression, Su Qinghe asked with some suspicion, "What? You don't know any of this, even though I'm telling you?"
Qin Yunyun snapped out of her daze and chuckled dryly, concealing the guilt in her eyes. "How could that be? I instructed A-Lian to do these things. She was sure she could drag Su Xiaoning down with her."
Hearing her say that, Su Qinghe's expression softened slightly. "You know what you're doing. You did well this time, but you need to plan even better next time."
"I understand." Qin Yunyun lowered her head deeply, forcibly suppressing the doubts in her heart.
...
Su Qingcai gave Su Xiaoning two days. He originally thought that with Bai Hua around, saving someone wouldn't be too difficult. But the two days were almost up, and there was still no news from the outer residence.
He was anxious and sent Su Xiaoning many letters of concern, but Su Xiaoning didn't even have time to read them. She and Bai Hua were extremely busy, but in the end they still got nothing.
Given the urgency of the situation, Su Xiaoning had no choice but to close the door and secretly plot with Bai Hua.
No one knows what the two did to A-Lian, and A-Lian still did not wake up. The next night, Feng Jiu and the head maid came to A-Lian's room. When they saw that A-Lian was still unconscious, they shook their heads at Su Xiaoning.
"Tonight is the deadline. If she still doesn't wake up, you'll have to leave with her tomorrow," Feng Jiu said coldly, staring at Su Xiaoning.
She thought Su Xiaoning would show a disappointed or sad expression, but to her surprise, Su Xiaoning gave a confident smile. She curled her lips and looked like she was in complete control.
"Don't worry, I've found a way. She'll definitely wake up around midnight tonight!"
"What method did you use? How can you be so sure?" Feng Jiu was taken aback and looked at Su Xiaoning suspiciously.
Su Xiaoning smiled mysteriously and patted her chest to assure everyone, "I can't tell you the method, but I know she will definitely wake up. My method is absolutely effective!"
After saying that, she yawned and pushed Feng Jiu and the head maid out, "Alright, let's wait until tomorrow to see the results. It's time to sleep now, let's all go back."
Su Xiaoning closed A-Lian's door and stumbled towards her own room, looking very tired.
Feng Jiu glanced deeply at A Lian's tightly closed door, a sinister glint flashing in his eyes.
— Midnight (11 PM - 1 AM)
Ah Lian's room was quiet. She lay quietly on the bed, breathing steadily, and her complexion was much rosier than before, as if she could really wake up at any moment.
At this critical moment, a faint footstep sounded, and a dark shadow appeared on the door.
The dark figure paused for a moment in front of the door, then gently pushed it open and slipped into the house like a ghost.
The newcomer was dressed entirely in black, his body completely covered except for a pair of fox-like eyes. He narrowed his eyes, suddenly pulled out a dagger, and stabbed it at Ah Lian on the bed!
"clang!"
A silver needle flew out of nowhere and knocked the dagger out of the man in black's hand.
The man in black was so shocked that his hand went numb. He realized something was wrong and immediately turned to run. Suddenly, candlelight came on in the room, and Su Xiaoning stood in front of him, looking at him with a half-smile.
"I knew this method would lure you in."
So it was all an act?!
The man in black's pupils contracted slightly. Not wanting to get entangled with Su Xiaoning, he pulled out another dagger from his sleeve and slashed at Su Xiaoning.
Su Xiaoning stood calmly in place without dodging or flinching. Then, with another clang, the dagger was knocked away by the unknown silver needle once again.
"You've come this far, and you still want to struggle in vain? Surrender and you'll suffer less." Bai Hua stepped out from the shadows, a few silver needles gleaming coldly between his fingers. "Bing Er, it's up to you."
"Yes." A muffled voice came from nearby. Bing Er jumped down from the roof beam, drew his sword, and stood with the man in black.
With the main force of C2 and Baihua Yinzhen assisting, Su Xiaoning watched the spectacle from the sidelines. Before long, the man in black, exhausted, was pinned to the ground.
Su Xiaoning walked over leisurely, ripped off the mask of the man in black, and was so shocked when she saw his face that she dropped the candlestick in her hand.
"teacher?"
The person being held down was Feng Jiu, but he seemed quite different from Feng Jiu. Although their faces were exactly the same, the person in front of him had completely shed his feminine softness, transforming from a somewhat heroic-looking woman into a handsome man with a very prominent Adam's apple, which couldn't be faked.
Su Xiaoning thought for a moment and understood, then said with a wry smile, "You usually pretend to be a woman?"
Feng Jiu snorted coldly, but did not deny it. "I have nothing to say about falling into your hands. Do with me as you please."
"I haven't finished asking my questions yet, how can you kill me? I have no grudge against you, tell me, what is the purpose of all this?"
"You'll have to ask Bai Hua about that." Feng Jiu suddenly turned her gaze to Bai Hua, whose eyes darted away and whose face looked extremely unpleasant.
Su Xiaoning frowned and looked at Bai Hua. Bai Hua felt guilty under her gaze and whispered, "He's the one who came to Carp Village to assassinate me before. He's a disciple of the Poison Hand Divine Doctor..."
"It was him?!" Su Xiaoning clicked her tongue in amazement. Before she could ask what it was about, she heard Feng Jiu sneer and grit his teeth, saying:
"Bai Hua, you're lucky. You've dodged so many attempts to kill me, but you'd better tell the people around you to be careful. Su Xiaoning is your apprentice? Your apprentice is just like you, her medical skills are terrible. I just casually added some poison and you were helpless. How laughable!"
He suddenly burst into manic laughter, as if he were the winner.
Su Xiaoning, however, showed a pitying expression. She pointed towards A-Lian's bed and said, "My medical skills are terrible? Do you want to take a look over there?"
Feng Jiu subconsciously looked at the bed, and then, as if a miracle had happened, A Lian's fingers suddenly twitched, she made a "woo-woo" sound, and her eyes were half-open, she actually woke up!
"This is impossible!" Feng Jiu was shocked and could hardly believe his eyes.
"Why is it impossible? Don't be too confident." Su Xiaoning's lips curled up slightly.
"I'm not afraid to tell you, I'm immune to all poisons. My blood can be used as a medicinal ingredient to neutralize most poisons. You say my medical skills are bad? Even if they are bad, I can still neutralize the poison you gave me. Why don't you consider becoming my apprentice? Maybe I can teach you."
"You're dreaming!"
Feng Jiu never expected Su Xiaoning to have this trick up her sleeve. Knowing that things were going badly, she took advantage of everyone's inattention, pulled out a handful of poison powder from her pocket, threw it into the air, and ran away while Bing Er covered his mouth and nose.
Suddenly, a strong wind blew by, carrying all the poison powder up and rushing straight towards Feng Jiu.
Caught off guard, Feng Jiu inhaled several mouthfuls of poison powder. Before he could run more than a few steps, he collapsed to the ground with a thud.
