Chapter 103 Poisoned
Chapter 103
"oh?"
Chang Xixi turned around and looked at Zhou Zhiwei, who was wearing a light pink dress. A trace of unease slipped through her heart. Looking for her at this time, she wondered if there was some conspiracy.
When she looked at Zhou Zhiwei, she looked embarrassed, as if she had something to hide. After hesitating for a long time, she slowly said, "Can you accompany me back for a while? I forgot something in the mansion."
"thing?"
"Yes, my earrings fell off. My father brought them back from Ryukyu last year. They were very valuable. It's a pity to lose them. They were the only gift my father gave me."
Did Zhou Zhiwei want her to accompany him to Zhang's house to look for something again? It wasn't impossible, but was she really desperate?
Chang Xixi was still considering whether to agree to her, when Zhou Zhiwei burst into tears and apologized directly, "Xixi, I know I was too polite to you before. I was petty, it's my fault! Please don't be angry, okay?"
"I've never been mad at you."
"Then Xixi, do you agree to go back with me?"
They were just looking for something, not doing anything else. Chang Xixi asked Gu Rongyu to go back first. He must be tired after a day of school. She went back to look for it with Zhou Zhiwei.
When Zhou Zhiwei heard that Gu Rongyu was going back, she thought to herself, this is perfect. Without him here, she can definitely do what she wants to do.
Gu Rongyu was worried. After seeing Chang Xixi enter Zhang Mansion, he asked Li Da to stay here and guard her well. He also left Qingnan behind, and told him to report to him at Zhou Mansion if there was any problem, and not to miss anyone.
Chang Xixi took Zhou Zhiwei with her and told the doorman who was eating meat in the lobby, "I'm going back to look for something. I don't know where I lost it. It's an earring. I'll come out as soon as I bring it back. Please be flexible." She also asked Xiaohong to give him some money.
Seeing that Chang Xixi was a sensible person, the doorman nodded and let her in. As soon as she entered the door, someone went to report, and she came back.
Miss Zhang guessed that something must have been lost, so she ordered her maid to go and look for it.
Sure enough, he saw the green pendant under a bush. He picked it up and handed it to Zhou Zhiwei, "This is such an important thing. You should be more careful with it in the future. Otherwise, people will think you have lost your manners."
"Thank you for your teaching. I will pay attention to it."
Chang Xixi didn't say anything else, but the person behind her said, "Xixi, maybe I drank too much this afternoon, and I feel a little dizzy. How about... sit with me for a while?"
"Alright."
There was nothing important to do in the evening, so sitting for a while would not cause any harm. Chang Xixi still thought that she had reformed and would not make any big mistakes again.
At this moment, she just showed the attitude of a little girl, wanting to get a little attention. How could she refuse? She found a place to sit down.
She whispered to the people from Zhang's residence who were with her to go get another cup of hot tea, and told Miss Zhang that they were sorry to bother her any longer, and that they would leave after sitting for a while and there was no need to come and see her anymore.
The maid went to report the matter and poured two cups of tea for Chang Xixi and Zhou Zhiwei.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Zhou Zhiwei handed the cup of tea in her hand to Chang Xixi. The person who brought the tea was also Zhou Zhiwei's personal maid.
Chang Xixi took a sip and felt that the tea was bitter instead of sweet. After sitting for a while, Zhou Zhiwei said that he felt better and could go back.
When they arrived at the gate of Zhang's house, the carriage to pick up Zhou Zhiwei also arrived. Gu Rongyu left on horseback, so the carriage was left to her.
Chang Xixi got on the carriage and just sat down when she felt her whole body was hot, as if she had caught a cold.
She didn't pay much attention to it. When the carriage was halfway there, she felt uncomfortable again, as if she was longing for something. But she couldn't tell what it was. She also felt her mouth was dry and wanted to drink water.
She drank a whole glass of water, but it didn't work. Instead, she felt even worse and just wanted to eat something cool.
Unconsciously, her body was aroused and she felt something was wrong. Thinking of Zhou Zhiwei's strange behavior before, she thought she had reformed. But that was the evil intention!
After cursing, she still felt helpless. She either had to find a man... or drink a drop of spiritual spring water. But she only felt that her body was getting hotter and hotter, which was unbearable.
And she is not a conservative person. She did not have any romantic affairs with men just because it was ancient times. If it were in modern times, she would not let herself be wronged.
Now that she has been poisoned, she urgently needs an antidote... She is considering whether to endure it herself or... drink the spiritual spring water.
While she was lost in thought, Xiaohong noticed her clues outside the carriage.
The young lady's cheeks were rosy, she was panting, and she looked a bit like that. Xiaohong was not stupid. She had never eaten pork, but she had seen pigs run. She whispered, "Young lady, are you poisoned?"
Chang Xixi nodded and said, "I can only bear it now."
Seeing the teacup was empty, Xiaohong poured another glass of water and placed it in Chang Xixi's hand. "It's all because of your kindness, young lady. If it were me, I would never give Zhou Zhiwei a chance. It must be her personal maid who tampered with the tea!"
"I know. I was careless for a moment and never thought she would actually dare to do such a thing!"
Chang Xixi didn't regret it. This incident had severed Zhou Zhiwei's last bit of goodwill towards her. From now on, no matter what this man did, she wouldn't show him even a little bit of pity, nor would she... show him even a little bit of sympathy. It wasn't worth it!
It rotted from the inside of the bones to the outside.
She pinched her thigh, the pain keeping her sanity intact. She looked at Xiaohong and said, "You see the ins and outs of this clearly. I was the one who acted on my own."
Xiaohong blushed when she heard the young lady apologize to her. The young lady was indeed different from before. Now she was more rational, talented, and humane.
No wonder the old lady loves her more than ever and doesn't make things difficult for the people in Qingyayuan.
However, Zhou Zhiwei had lost her previous status in the Zhou Mansion because of the incident when the young lady went out to see a patient in the middle of the night. Instead, she became known as a useless woman in everyone's eyes.
It's all your own fault.
Chang Xixi felt very uncomfortable and asked Xiaohong to go out because she was in the way!
First, I entered the space, and the restlessness in my body calmed down, but that subtle desire, that trace of it was like a faint fragrance. If you look carefully, it will come out from nowhere once you calm your mind, constantly devouring your body, slowly making you feel longing.
This kind is more torturous than the hot one.
"It seems Zhou Zhiwei has invested a lot of money. Since she used such a cruel medicine to treat me, she must have found someone along the way. If she succeeds, how can I survive in this ancient world? A small domestic fight, but I want to dominate the entire country and become a first-rank lady."
