Chapter 12 Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs
She opened the door and came out of the house, startling Qiuyue who was waiting outside.
"Miss, are you awake? I'll get you some water right away."
She thought Jiang Nanyuan wanted to sleep for a while, so she didn't bring any water.
Jiang Nanyuan didn't say anything, but just glanced at her coldly.
Seeing the look in the eldest lady's eyes, Qiuyue's heart skipped a beat.
Why is the eldest lady's gaze so cold? Could it be that she heard everything Chunhua said to her just now?
Wouldn’t the eldest lady know that they are Aunt Liu’s people?
Yesterday, the eldest lady warned them not to betray, and today Chunhua informed Aunt Liu of the situation here.
Thinking of this, Qiuyue felt a chill on her back, and her fear reached its peak.
After tremblingly getting some water for Jiang Nanyuan, he waited on the side for Jiang Nanyuan's questions, his heart in his throat.
Seeing that Jiang Nanyuan didn't say anything but waved to her, she immediately left the room.
The eldest lady is so scary. She doesn’t say anything, but she is so oppressive.
After Jiang Nanyuan finished washing up, she asked her to bring breakfast over.
When Lin Zhixue saw Jiang Nanyuan coming, she first looked her up and down carefully and found that she was unharmed.
He heaved a sigh of relief, "You guys go out and wait. Don't come in without my order."
Lin Zhixue had a lot of questions in her mind at this time, so she sent all the maids out of the room.
After they all left and closed the door, she immediately walked forward, took Jiang Nanyuan's hand and sat down in the room.
Just as she was about to ask, Jiang Nanyuan gently shook her head and mouthed four words, "Walls have ears."
Lin Zhixue immediately understood what Jiang Nanyuan meant. Even though she was anxious at the moment, she had to hold back and stop asking questions.
Jiang Nanyuan waited for Qiuyue to bring breakfast over and asked her to go outside to guard.
"Mom, you came here so early and you must not have had breakfast, right? Eat breakfast first."
Today's breakfast is quite rich, with bird's nest porridge, crystal shrimp dumplings, barbecued pork buns, and a plate of side dishes.
There is also a plate of red date and yam cake.
These were all brought by Qiuyue from the main kitchen.
It seems that the Marquis' Mansion treats them well. After all, they don't skimp on their food, nor do they do anything about it.
Jiang Nanyuan brought a bowl of golden bird's nest porridge to Lin Zhixue.
"Thank you, Yuan'er. I'll do it myself."
They had long been accustomed to doing everything on their own during their days at the farm, so Lin Zhixue was somewhat uncomfortable when she suddenly came back to be served by others.
Jiang Nanyuan and Lin Zhixue ate breakfast quietly, no one spoke.
However, Lin Zhixue didn't have much of an appetite and couldn't eat anymore after just a little. Jiang Nanyuan knew that she was worried and didn't force her.
She placed her hands under the table, performed a hand seal, and created a barrier.
Just this small barrier used up all her spiritual power for the day.
However, this barrier can only last for one stick of incense.
But enough talking to them.
"Mother, you can speak now. I know you are worried about the situation at the Duke's Mansion. I have already been there yesterday.
The situation at the Duke's Mansion is not optimistic. Yesterday I found that there were soldiers guarding the door of the Duke's Mansion, and there were few people inside the Mansion.
Yesterday I checked out the Duke's Mansion and found that the only people left there were female relatives.
I also discovered that the Duke and his wife, my current grandmother and grandfather, were both poisoned!"
"What! How could she be poisoned? Is Yuan'er seriously ill? Do you have a solution?"
Lin Zhixue knew that Jiang Nanyuan was an excellent doctor, and it seemed that there was no poison that she could not cure at the moment.
Even the poison that had been in her body for more than ten years was easily cured by her. She had to admire her for this.
"Mom, don't worry, I can cure their poison, but now is not a good time.
The two elders are in the condition they are in now. Something must have happened to them. We haven’t figured it out yet. I’ll help them detoxify next time I go there and ask them about it.
Oh, by the way, Mom, you have to give me a token. I’m afraid they won’t recognize me next time I go there.”
The reason why she didn't detoxify them this time was, firstly, because her spiritual power was limited, and secondly, she was not sure whether they would trust her if she detoxified them so rashly.
Talk things over to yourself.
When Lin Zhixue heard Jiang Nanyuan say that she had a way to detoxify, the tension she had just felt relaxed a little.
When Lin Zhixue heard her ask for a token of love, she was instantly in a dilemma, as she didn't have anything special on her.
"Yuan'er, do you have any writing materials? I'll write a letter for you to take with you.
My parents can recognize my handwriting."
Jiang Nanyuan looked around but didn't find any writing materials. She shook her head and said, "It's no problem. Go back and write it, and then give it to me when the time comes."
By the way, mother, I returned home yesterday, guess what I found?"
When Jiang Nanyuan thought of what she saw yesterday, her eyebrows curved and she couldn't help but want to laugh.
Lin Zhixue was confused. "What did you find?"
Jiang Nanyuan was waiting for Lin Zhixue to ask a question. When she asked, she didn't keep it a secret, but spoke with a smile.
"Yesterday I noticed that Jiang Nanfeng didn't sleep in the middle of the night, but went to another yard. I was curious about what he was doing so late at night, so I followed him.
Then I found out that Liu Shuang's eldest son was ill, so I invited Jiang Nanfeng to come and interrupt his wedding night."
As Jiang Nanyuan spoke, she began to laugh.
I'm afraid the princess was furious yesterday, because her mother made her miss the auspicious time.
At night, Liu Shuang made me stay alone in the empty room again!
"There's such a thing!"
Lin Zhixue was also surprised, and then she laughed.
"Mom, it's not over yet. Yesterday I was surprised to find that Liu Shuang's eldest son was also poisoned!
"Mother, guess what? I suspect Liu Shuang poisoned him."
"Ah! What! How is it possible? Isn't that her own son? How could he be poisoned?"
Lin Zhixue was shocked! Even a tiger wouldn't eat its own cubs, how could she do such a cruel thing?
"Mom, I'm just guessing. It may not be exactly like this, but I think it's roughly the same.
Maybe this is Liu Shuang's way of winning favor. Look, isn't that what happened today? It's Jiang Nanfeng's big day.
Because my son was sick, I rushed over so quickly that I didn’t even bother with the bridal chamber.”
After hearing what Jiang Nanyuan said, Lin Zhixue thought about it carefully and it seemed to be true.
She could never have imagined that a person could be so bad that he would not even care about his son's life in order to win favor.
