Mu Yurou opened her mouth to call out, but was horrified to find that the people standing inside the door were Han Luoxue and Zhou Jie, while the person she cared about most was not there.
Where is Wang Yan? Where is Zhou Jun? These two, a man and a woman alone, and another one under the influence of that drug, it's obvious what they were doing in the room!
Mu Yurou's eyes were red, and she tried to run inside.
Zhou Jie did step forward and stopped her.
"Mu Yurou, what are you trying to do?"
"I, I..." Mu Yurou said anxiously, trying to push Zhou Jie away. Unfortunately, Zhou Jie flung her hand away, and the already frail Mu Yurou almost fell.
Fortunately, she was right by the door, and she managed to grab the door frame.
"I'm looking for Young Master Zhou!"
With a loud slap, a hand landed on her face. Mu Yurou looked at Zhou Jie in disbelief. They had met before, and the two had a good relationship.
But why did she hit him the moment they met?
"Mu Yurou, I never imagined you were this kind of person! Zhou Jun is a member of my family. Who gave you the audacity to drug her and set her up?"
Mu Yurou covered her flushed face: "I, Miss Zhou, you've misunderstood. I didn't do it, I didn't, I didn't do anything!"
Zhou Jie wanted to laugh. You've made it so obvious, how can you say you didn't do anything?
"It was her!" Mu Yurou grabbed Xiaoqing and pushed her in front of her. "She did it! She did it all!"
Xiaoqing was stunned for a moment, not quite coming to her senses.
"Xiaoqing, tell me quickly, did you drug Young Master Zhou?"
As Mu Yurou spoke, she winked at Xiao Qing. Xiao Qing hesitated for a moment, then immediately knelt down with a thud: "I'm sorry, it's all my fault, I was the one who drugged her!"
Han Luoxue was speechless, and Zhou Jie's eyes widened. It was the first time she had ever seen such a shameless person. How could you lie like this with your eyes open? Do you think we're all fools?
"hehe……"
Zhou Jie sneered: "No matter which of you poisoned me, I'll remember this grudge. Our Zhou family isn't easy to bully!"
Mu Yurou trembled slightly. She hadn't known the Zhou family's power before, but after coming to the capital, she understood. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that their power was immense.
“Miss Zhou, we used to be friends. You know what kind of person I am. How could I possibly drug Young Master Zhou? It's all my maid's fault…”
"I……"
"Get out!" Sister Zhou sneered. "I don't want to see you again. Get out of here..."
Mu Yurou glanced at the room not far away, still feeling unwilling.
But Zhou Jie waved her hand, and two figures suddenly appeared, grabbing Mu Yurou and the maid.
"No, don't..." Mu Yurou struggled, but her mouth was covered and she was dragged away.
Silence finally returned to their ears. Han Luoxue considerately closed the courtyard gate for them. This detoxification was not something that could be completed in a short time. She hoped that the two of them would have a good outcome.
Once back on the carriage, Zhou Jie took Han Luoxue's hand and asked with a curious look, "Sister Xue'er, I remember you have a lot of strange pills, don't you have any that can help Zhou Jun detoxify?"
Others might not know, but she knew very well. Although Zhou Junzhong's poison was potent, Han Luoxue's antidote was even stronger. She still couldn't quite believe that the other antidotes had been ineffective.
Han Luoxue smiled meaningfully: "Those things are extremely rare. We should use good things where they're most needed. We already have an antidote, so why use that kind?"
"Or do you really think that with their lukewarm personalities, things can really develop quickly? Sister Zhou, I remember you really wanted to be a matchmaker. Don't you want to be able to drink their wedding wine soon?"
Zhou Jie chuckled: "I knew it, Xue'er would definitely have a way! But you're right, these two are developing too slowly, it's best if we don't help them!"
These two should have good news soon!
As for Mu Yurou, Zhou Jie felt that she had really been blind before. She used to think that person was not bad, but it turned out that she was really a scoundrel.
Thinking back to her days in Yancheng, Zhou Jie suddenly felt a little nauseous!
"Sigh, Xue'er, sometimes I feel like there's something wrong with my eyes. I always thought Mu Yurou was someone I could befriend, but..."
"If I had known she was this kind of person, I would have ignored her back in Yancheng!"
Seeing Zhou Jie's frustrated expression, Han Luoxue comforted her, "Sometimes when people are forced into a corner, they might do something drastic! Think about Mu Yurou's situation, and you'll understand what she did!"
"When they learned that the Emperor was going to select concubines, even ordinary merchant girls could sign up. When the patriarch of the Mu family found out, he thought it was a great opportunity to rise above one's station and become famous overnight. Mu Yurou was ambitious and naturally didn't want to miss it!"
"But in the end, she found that despite giving it her all, even borrowing money, she still couldn't cross that threshold. She was already devastated. At this point, her father arranged for her to marry a man who was even older than him. If you were in her shoes, could you accept that?"
Zhou Jie shook her head. She would never experience such a thing, but if it really happened to her, she would not sit idly by and wait for death.
"So she fled to the capital. I heard she even contacted Xu Lingyi, probably hoping Xu Lingyi would help her. But what she didn't know was that those noble ladies from wealthy families looked down on someone of her status..."
"With no other choice, she could only cling to Zhou Jun, the only man she knew who met the criteria to get her out of this mess."
Zhou Jie nodded in deep agreement: "Sister Xue'er, you're right. Thinking about it this way, Mu Yurou is also a pitiful person!"
Han Luoxue laughed: "It's true that you're a pitiful person, but it's wrong to scheme against someone like this! You can't just swindle others because you feel sorry for yourself, can you?"
"If this reason is correct, then does that mean Zhou Jun deserved it? And Wang Yan wasn't wronged?"
Zhou Jie fell into deep thought. Suddenly, she didn't know what to say about the relationship between the three of them.
"Everyone has their own destiny, and we can't interfere with other people's happiness. Let them deal with their own affairs in the future. If they want to get married, we'll just give them a generous gift."
Zhou Jie nodded. Love is truly... so difficult to bear.
...
Liu Dajiao and her family did not return to her parents' home. Instead, she listened to Han Lenghua's advice and stayed in Hutouya Village.
She chose a spot furthest from her original courtyard, because she didn't want to run into Han Xiaochuan.
That man has no heart.
After Liu Dajiao left, the onlookers dispersed. Of course, some people wanted to stay, but with one of the main characters gone, the rest of the story wasn't as exciting.
Han Xiaochuan dragged Han Juhua into the house, grabbed her hair, and said fiercely, "Han Juhua, tell me the truth, is what Leng Hua said true? Why were you sent back to the village?"
