Watching Su Qinghe finish the entire half-bowl of porridge, Wenzhu secretly clenched her fists.
He quickly put the bowl away, and when he returned, Su Qinghe's face was already a little red.
He was secretly pleased, but pretended not to notice anything amiss and went back inside with the bucket.
He was waiting, waiting for the effects of the medicine in Su Qinghe's body to dissipate further, waiting for her to finally succumb to the temptation.
Then I'll be the one being forced into this situation. Even if things work out later, she won't resist me; she'll just feel indebted to me.
He waited patiently for a while, but there was no sound outside for a long time. He went out to take a look out of doubt, and saw that Su Qinghe was still sitting there properly.
He frowned and slowly walked out from behind the screen.
He can't just wait around anymore; he has to take the initiative.
Wenzhu quietly stood behind Su Qinghe.
"Master, we don't know when the young master will be back. Let me serve you a bath first. The hot water is ready."
As he spoke, he placed his hands directly on Su Qinghe's shoulders without asking.
Su Qinghe's eyes narrowed, and she turned around and slapped the man across the face.
"ah!"
With a sudden slap, Wenzhu screamed and fell to the ground. She looked up at Su Qinghe with a terrified expression, her heart filled with doubt and uncertainty.
"Master, what have I done wrong?"
He clenched his fists nervously, carefully observing Su Qinghe's expression.
Seeing her cheeks flush even more than before, I felt a little more at ease.
With an innocent expression on her face, Wenzhu's eyes slowly filled with tears.
Seeing his appearance, Su Qinghe's eyes grew even colder.
She said it was strange that it was suddenly hot in the middle of spring. If she didn't notice something was wrong after what he did, she must have been out of her mind!
Why do they all want to drug her? Is she some kind of hot commodity?
Su Qinghe pinched her brow in exasperation, her voice icy cold.
Where is Lin Xi?
At this point, she naturally didn't believe that Lin Xi had really gone to Ji Yuan's place.
Wenzhu trembled under her cold gaze, knowing that his secret had been exposed, but he still held onto a sliver of hope.
"I didn't know, Master seems to be feeling unwell. I can help you..."
He finished speaking with feigned composure and then quickly began to take off his outer robe.
Even if she discovers something is wrong, at least things will be done soon. She wouldn't go out and find her husbands for something so shameful.
Now that the drug is already taking effect, if I tempt her a little more, she won't be able to resist no matter how hard she tries.
Even if she doesn't like me, she will definitely take responsibility.
Embracing the worst possible outcome, Wenzhu boldly and slowly approached Su Qinghe.
Su Qinghe's brow twitched, her anger burning, and she grabbed Wenzhu by the hair and lifted her up.
"I'll give you one more chance. Where is Lin Xi?"
Her voice was flat and emotionless, but Wenzhu trembled under her cold gaze.
How come, apart from her face being a little red, even her breathing is so even?
With her last glimmer of hope gone, Wenzhu's panic had reached its peak.
Fearing that Su Qinghe was really losing patience, he quickly told her Lin Xi's location in a trembling voice.
"In...in the slave quarters..."
Su Qinghe narrowed her eyes, threw the person to the ground, and strode out the door.
Wenzhu's room wasn't far away, so she quickly found the person.
"Xiao Xi!"
Looking at the man lying on the bed, Su Qinghe anxiously shook him gently.
Seeing that the person showed no signs of waking up, she picked them up and carried them to Ling Feng's courtyard.
Although she knew Wenzhu wouldn't dare to really hurt Linxi, Linxi was pregnant, and who knew what the consequences would be!
Ling Feng always talked about poison, so Su Qinghe felt that he must know something about medicine.
"Ling Feng!"
Before even entering the house, she shouted loudly, and just as she carried the person to the door, the door opened from the inside.
"What's wrong with Patriarch Su...?"
"Get out of the way!"
Upon seeing that it was Ling Feng's personal attendant, Su Qinghe pushed him aside and rushed into the house.
"How could you..."
Seeing Su Qinghe barge in, Ling Feng hurriedly put on his outer robe.
"Don't ask yet, let Lin Xi take a look first."
Su Qinghe seemed not to notice that Ling Feng was only wearing his nightgown, and simply placed Lin Xi on the couch.
Seeing this, Ling Feng realized the seriousness of the matter and stopped worrying about the clothes. With a serious expression, he touched Lin Xi's pulse.
Su Qinghe stood quietly to the side, watching without making a sound to disturb her.
Seeing the situation inside, Xiaoying silently closed the door and stood behind Lingfeng.
After a moment, Ling Feng withdrew his hand.
"It's nothing serious. I was just given some sedatives, which won't have much of an effect on the baby. Just drink some warm water and get some sleep. I might feel a little dizzy when I wake up tomorrow, but that's all."
Seeing Su Qinghe visibly relieved, Ling Feng frowned seriously.
"Was it done by the Seven Kill Pavilion?"
Besides this, he couldn't think of anyone else who would have targeted Su Qinghe and the people around her recently.
Su Qinghe shook her head, and knowing that Lin Xi was alright, she relaxed.
"It's just that someone with impure intentions has entered the house; it's not a big deal."
Su Qinghe lowered her eyes and looked at Lin Xi with self-reproach. This time, she blamed herself for misjudging him and choosing such a person to follow Lin Xi. Fortunately, Lin Xi was alright.
After watching for a moment, Su Qinghe looked up at Ling Feng, her face showing some unease.
"Um... I think I've been drugged again. Could you check me out too?"
Ling Feng was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, and looked somewhat embarrassed.
"Hmm." He made a nasal sound and took Su Qinghe's wrist.
"It is indeed an aphrodisiac, but it won't have much effect on you. You probably just feel a little hot."
He only touched her for a short while before immediately withdrawing his hand and looking up at Su Qinghe with a serious expression.
After hearing his words, Su Qinghe looked puzzled. "What do you mean it has no effect on me? Is the medicine of poor quality?"
Seeing her pressing for details, Ling Feng remained calm on the surface, but a blush crept behind his ear that Su Qinghe couldn't see.
"That drug is a common aphrodisiac on the market, of average quality, but it has a noticeable effect on ordinary people."
“But the one I gave you last time was specially made by an elder of the pavilion. It was very potent and strong. These ordinary aphrodisiacs are no longer effective for you. At most, they can improve your blood circulation, which is why you feel a little hot.”
After finishing his words, Ling Feng lowered his head awkwardly, as if he didn't want to recall what happened that night.
Regardless of Ling Feng's feelings, Su Qinghe raised an eyebrow upon hearing this explanation.
Is there really such a good thing?
So, if she uses an extremely potent poison and then takes an antidote, she can barely become immune to all poisons?
"Unlikely."
As if knowing what Su Qinghe was thinking, Ling Feng spoke up.
