Soon, Wen Tingbai's confidant Rui Qing brought the investigation results.
"Second Master, the medicine was put in the tea that Aunt Qiaolian gave you. The tea was originally prepared by the Shen family in the kitchen for Second Master. Later, the Shen family went to do something else, and when they returned, the tea was gone. It turned out that Aunt Qiaolian had brought it to Second Master."
"Qiao Lian?" Wen Tingbai clenched his sleeves and gritted his teeth, "I usually treat her well, and now she does this to me. Sell Qiao Lian to a brothel, and then sell that tea-making woman."
Rui Qing saw that Wen Tingbai was extremely angry, so he did not dare to say anything to persuade him. He just said yes and walked out.
Wen Tingbai swept all the things in the study to the ground but still felt unsatisfied, so he walked out with red eyes.
As Wen Tingbo's adopted son, Wen Xu should pay his respects to Wen Tingbo every day. However, Wen Tingbo does not like crowds and does not like Wen Xu as his adopted son, so he does not allow him to pay his respects often.
When Wen Tingbo passed by the Chaoshou Arcade, he would have bumped into Wen Xu head-on.
Wen Tingbo was now furious. He didn't care who it was and slapped Wen Xu, cursing, "Who is it?"
"Father, it's me." Wen Xu stood up obediently and looked up at Wen Tingbo timidly.
Wen Tingbai frowned impatiently and said coldly, "What are you doing here?"
Wen Xu hesitated, raised his head, then timidly lowered it, pinching his sleeves fearfully, "Father, I just passed by Lan Courtyard and heard something. I don't know if I should tell you or not..."
Wen Tingbai no longer cared about Wen Xu's unclear words. He just said coldly, "If you have something to say, say it. Otherwise, get out of the way."
"I just heard Aunt Cui say something about revenge...killing two birds with one stone. She also said that the future will be good for them and their daughter..." Wen Xu's eyes were wet as he looked at Wen Tingbo's innocent face. "Father, is that me, the child Aunt Cui is talking about?"
Wen Tingbai only now realized what had happened.
Qiao Lian had always treated Wen Tingbo like a god, so how could he bear to give her such a sinister and vicious poison? The most likely person to have drugged him was Cui Xiaoxiao, who was now pregnant.
Wen Tingbai's face flushed red as he pushed Wen Xu away and strode towards the courtyard where Cui Xiaoxiao was. "Bitch."
Cui Xiaoxiao, who was still in the Lanting Courtyard, laughed so hard after hearing this. "This kills two birds with one stone. It also brings down Qiao Lian, saving me from having to deal with her in the future. This way, this Marquisate will belong to us two from now on."
Cui Xiaoxiao said, reaching out to touch her belly which was not yet showing, "My child, you are really my lucky star."
Tianxiang looked around and whispered to Cui Xiaoxiao, "Auntie, the Second Master is really anxious right now, so we should be careful in our actions. In case others notice anything unusual, we just have to wait for the storm to pass, and then things will get better."
After hearing what Tianxiang said, Cui Xiaoxiao also looked around cautiously.
What Cui Xiaoxiao didn't know was that this fire would soon burn herself.
Wen Tingbai quickly arrived at the west courtyard and hurriedly pushed open the gate of the west courtyard.
Cui Xiaoxiao was sitting at the table eating hot fruit. Seeing Wen Tingbai arrive in such a rage, she was surprised. She stood up with a shudder in her heart, "Second Master... What's wrong with Second Master?"
Wen Tingbai walked forward and slapped Cui Xiaoxiao's delicate cheeks twice.
"Second Master..." Cui Xiaoxiao pressed her red cheek and raised her head timidly, "Second Master, what's wrong?"
Wen Tingbo grabbed Cui Xiaoxiao's hand and pushed her to the ground, cursing, "How dare you ask me what's wrong?"
Tianxiang, who was beside Cui Xiaoxiao, was also dumbfounded when she saw the scene. She quickly knelt on the ground and pleaded for Cui Xiaoxiao, "Second Master, if you have anything to say, please talk to her nicely. My aunt is pregnant now. If she gets hurt, it will be a disaster."
Wen Tingbai's eyes were red with anger, and he pointed at Cui Xiaoxiao with an extremely excited expression, "Cui Xiaoxiao, Cui Xiaoxiao, I thought I had treated you well. If I hadn't brought you back from that farm and let you live a life of luxury in this mansion, you would probably still be eating coarse food on the farm now. You actually gave me such a vicious drug, it's really hard to guard against."
"Second Master, this is all a misunderstanding. Who spread such nonsense outside? I am deeply in love with you, how could I drug you..." Cui Xiaoxiao was now utterly afraid to admit it. She knelt on the ground and crawled towards Wen Tingbo, hugging Wen Tingbo's thighs and said, "Second Master, believe me, I am really deeply in love with you."
"When you went to put the drug in, the kitchen maid saw you." Wen Tingbai closed his eyes in dismay and said, "Now that the maid has confessed, what else do you have to say?"
"Impossible! When I gave her the drug, it was clearly..." Cui Xiaoxiao said, then she realized something and immediately fell silent. She looked up at Wen Tingbo's expression with trembling hands.
"Cui Xiaoxiao!" Wen Tingbai grabbed Cui Xiaoxiao's hair and looked her in the eye. "Tell me, why did you do this to me? Why?"
"Why?" Cui Xiaoxiao felt as if she had heard a joke when she heard this. She was now desperate and said to herself, "Don't you know why I am doing this?"
"You brought me back, saying you'd be with me forever, but later you made me your concubine. Later, you even wanted to divorce me so I could live a good life with Song Wanning. Do you really think I, Cui Xiaoxiao, am a pushover?" Cui Xiaoxiao now stood up like a madman, sneered at Wen Tingbo, and accused him, "Seeing that you couldn't please Song Wanning, you're even thinking of marrying another mistress? Wen Tingbo, I'm going to make you know the price of breaking your promise."
"You vicious woman, I'm going to kill you!" Wen Tingbai said, reaching out to pinch Cui Xiaoxiao's neck, with veins bulging on his forehead.
Cui Xiaoxiao held Wen Tingbo's arms with both hands and slapped them continuously, kicking her legs against the ground. "Ahem...you killed me? If you kill me, you'll kill your only child in this world...you'll never have...any more children in the future."
Wen Tingbai thought about this and let Cui Xiaoxiao go. His face was ashen. "When you give birth to a child, I will sell you to a brothel and make you wish you were dead."
Cui Xiaoxiao sat on the floor and sneered, "Hahahahaha, Wen Tingbai, you have come to this day. You are just a eunuch now. Everyone in Shengjing knows you are a eunuch. You can't even get a mistress. Which girl from a decent family would dare to marry you..."
"Bitch!" Wen Tingbai could no longer hold back when he heard Cui Xiaoxiao say that, and kicked Cui Xiaoxiao in the stomach.
Cui Xiaoxiao revealed a look of pain, clutching her stomach and screaming, "My stomach... my stomach hurts so much."
