She calmed herself down and suddenly remembered that her health had been deteriorating in the past few days.
With more time to sleep at night and meals every day, I can only eat a little bit before I can't eat anymore.
She thought she was just overthinking things lately, and that she wasn't eating or sleeping well. Little did she know that she was actually poisoned.
Grandpa Chi also came to his senses at this moment. They were both aware of their own physical condition. They hadn't considered the possibility of poisoning before, but now, after Dr. Xu's reminder, how could they not understand?
The fact that their bodies had been showing abnormalities for a short time suggests that the poisoning occurred recently.
Who could have poisoned them? Both of their faces turned ashen. She was still trying to figure out a way out for them, but some people were already losing patience.
"Let's go back and get it checked out properly. You two aren't seriously poisoned yet, you won't die anytime soon."
The kind doctor Xu reminded her, and Madam Chi hurriedly asked, "Does this doctor have a way to detoxify me?"
Doctor Xu arrogantly raised his head, looking at the two old men with amusement, and finally said, "This little bit of poison is nothing; my little apprentice can handle it without my intervention!"
His gaze fell on Han Luoyu, and Madam Chi and Master Chi also looked at Han Luoyu. They hadn't expected Yunniang's youngest daughter to be so capable.
Thinking about the children their two children had raised, the two of them felt their faces turn red.
"Then I'll head back now!"
At this moment, Madam Chi was too embarrassed to ask Han Luoyu to detoxify him, and so was Master Chi.
They still had things to do at home, and he wanted to see what that unfilial son was up to.
She's a rebellious daughter!
After leaving Lingxiu Pavilion, the two went straight to a pharmacy.
………
"Actually, these two old people are quite pitiful!"
Seeing the two hunched figures leave, Zhou Jie sighed.
Han Luoxue glanced at her, "Who isn't pitiful? My mother was harmed like that by Chi Ling'er, isn't she pitiful too?"
"I can only say that parents' hearts are full of love and concern for their children! They feel sorry for Yunniang, but Chi Ling'er is also their daughter."
Sister Zhen also sighed. She had never been married and didn't know what it felt like to be a mother. However, she felt that if it were her, she couldn't just stand by and watch her daughter die.
"I'm actually quite curious what they'll do once they get home!"
Sister Zhen suddenly laughed, her face full of interest: "I really want to see Chi Ling'er's expression. Let me tell you, you don't know, that woman is useless at everything, but she always has a high opinion of herself."
Sister Zhen admired Chi Ling'er greatly. She almost ruined the perfectly good Sixiu Pavilion, but in her heart, she was still the most amazing.
Does she think everyone in the capital should revolve around her? Doesn't she even realize who she is?
"Alright, let's not talk about them anymore. Let's talk about our shop. We still don't have enough embroiderers lately, and we can't keep up with the demand. Xue'er, do you think we should expand again?"
Zhou Jie is in high spirits. She has been doing business with her brother for many years, but she has never encountered anything as popular as this before.
The two shops joined forces, and sales were surprisingly strong, leaving her stunned and feeling like she was dreaming.
"Let's keep it as it is for now; I don't think there's any need to increase the scale."
Han Luoxue thought for a moment, then patiently explained to them, "Business is so good these days. Firstly, other embroidery shops are not doing well. Secondly, the economy has been bad in recent years, and many people are struggling to make ends meet. The heavy rain a few days ago gave everyone hope, so many people started getting clothes made and kept changing their clothes. It's actually a kind of retaliatory buying behavior."
"Maintaining the current supply is just right. A slight shortage is much better than an oversupply."
Zhou Jie nodded thoughtfully and continued to ask, "What about the villa? When are you going there? Although construction has already started, I'm still not sure if you'll go."
Zhou Jie always knew there was a gap between the design sketches and the actual finished product.
"I'd like to go see him tomorrow or the day after, and also visit my father."
Han Ruoxue hasn't visited her father in the past two days. He has people left behind by Han Yuchen, so there's no need to worry too much.
She believed in her father's intelligence and ability. They needed to conduct a routine screening, map out a village, and relocate the residents of Hutouya Village who were willing to move.
Once those people arrive, Han Ruoxue won't have many more opportunities to go back. Perhaps they'll all go back together for the New Year; after all, that's their hometown.
Han Luoxue woke up in that village, which was also where she and Han Yuchen got engaged, and she didn't want to give up yet.
Thinking of Han Yuchen, Han Luoxue patted her belly. The little guy has been very well-behaved these past two days. She wondered if his father would come over when she gave birth.
I'm so excited! This is Han Luoxue's first time being a mother! I miss the baby's father a little. I wonder if he's reached the border yet, and how things are there?
...
"Your Highness, that's the general situation. A few days ago, the former Crown Prince came every day, but he hasn't shown up in the last two days."
"The army over there hasn't made any move either, and I have no idea what they're planning to do."
After gathering their people, they stopped moving and sent over one of their princes. Han Yuchen couldn't understand what they were trying to do.
"Oh, by the way, we also met someone who said he was from Wuling Town. Would Your Highness like to meet him?"
Lu Xiaonan hasn't recovered from the beating he received last time. I heard he's still lying at home every day, while his wife goes out to work every day.
"Lu Xiaonan?"
When Xu Liang heard the Crown Prince casually mention that person's name, his heart skipped a beat.
That soldier, could he also know the current crown prince?
That's really impressive; a mere soldier, yet he was known by two successive crown princes.
"That's his name. Before the garrison commander had even given his permission, he was about to go down and open the gate for the former crown prince when his men arrested him."
"Um."
Han Yuchen simply hummed in response and didn't say anything more. Xu Liangcai breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed His Highness didn't care about that person.
"Don't tell anyone about my coming here. If I'm not mistaken, he'll come out again tomorrow."
Han Yuchen had already guessed what the Crown Prince was planning, or at least had a general idea. Xu Liang had mentioned he was accompanied by two men; these two were likely not ordinary people, and their skills were probably quite impressive.
Are they planning an inside-outside attack? Heh, I wonder what his good father, the Emperor, would say if he knew the Crown Prince had betrayed the country? He'd probably be overjoyed. After all, that's the Crown Prince he's favored for so many years!
Thinking of this, Han Yuchen simply wrote a letter and had it sent to the palace urgently. Such good news definitely needed to be shared with the Emperor.
