Fifteen and Sixteen immediately opened the door. Fifteen even reminded them, "Brother Dong, Butler Lu, be careful, the people inside have gone mad!"
Ever since Bai Nuo learned that they had food and drink, he immediately ordered a thorough investigation and actually caught someone delivering food. Although the person behind it all still hasn't been found out, they have cut off any possibility of others bringing them food and drink. Once they run out of food, they start smashing the walls.
They've made a scene at the door several times already.
Xia Donglai nodded, indicating that he understood.
After opening the door and entering, Xia Donglai and Lu Ying went straight to the hall. They saw that the hall was covered in dust, and Huang Wenbai and Qian Peilan and her son were there. All three of them looked a little pale, but they were far from being as crazy as Fifteen had said.
Was the wall-breaking intentional?
Their gazes inadvertently fell on the table, and then suddenly turned cold. Someone had actually brought them food, but they had no idea who this person was.
He could freely come and go from the Hu family's house, but they didn't realize that if this person wasn't eliminated, he would eventually become a hidden danger.
"You've arrived?" Qian Huang Wenbai and the others opened their eyes upon realizing their arrival. Huang Wenbai asked, "Are you going to let us all out?"
Lu Ying stood in the middle of the hall, looking directly at Qian Peilan, "Old woman, take out the antidote."
"Antidote? What antidote?" Huang Haichuan roared. "Lu Ying, are you alright? Didn't you take everything from here? You still have the nerve to ask us for the antidote? How are we supposed to give it to you?"
Lu Ying looked at Huang Haichuan with a half-smile, "So, Mr. Huang was unaware of this?"
Huang Haichuan suddenly understood what Lu Ying was talking about, and his expression instantly turned unnatural, but he still stubbornly said, "Of course I don't know what you're talking about."
“Then I’ll say it again,” Lu Ying stared at Qian Peilan expressionlessly, “Qian Peilan, bring out our Second Master’s antidote.”
Qian Peilan chuckled at this moment, her face contorted like an old witch, "If I'm not mistaken, that little bastard Hu Mingmei must be spitting blood by now, oh dear, I've been waiting for this day for so many years, and it's finally here."
"Bring out the antidote!" Knowing it was one thing, but hearing it with one's own ears was another. Xia Donglai trembled with anger and strode to stand next to Lu Ying, staring dangerously at Qian Peilan.
But Qian Peilan wasn't afraid of them at all, as if she had expected this day to come. "I won't give you the antidote! Give up!"
With a "whoosh," Xia Donglai drew his longsword and placed it against Qian Peilan's neck. "If you don't give it to me, I'll kill you all!"
Huang Haichuan and Huang Wenbai were about to speak, but Qian Peilan stopped them. "Go ahead and kill us! You'd better kill us all. After you kill us, you'll have even less chance of getting the antidote. I'm telling you, I've hidden the antidote in a place that no one else knows except me. You think you can get the antidote by killing us? You're dreaming! It's best if you kill us. If you kill us, that little bastard will have to die with us!"
Qian Peilan giggled wildly, and Xia Donglai hesitated.
Huang Wenbai and the others can die, but Second Master absolutely cannot die.
“Let your young mistress come and talk!” Qian Peilan sat up straight. “I believe your young mistress. For her husband’s life, I believe she would be happy to negotiate with us!”
Lu Ying and Xia Donglai exchanged a glance. Hu Mingmei was trying her best to keep it from Bai Nuo, not wanting Bai Nuo to worry, but if they didn't tell Bai Nuo, they wouldn't be able to get the antidote.
What should I do?
"I'll be right back!" Lu Ying made the decision immediately. Compared to Second Master's life, Bai Nuo's little worry was nothing. Besides, if Bai Nuo knew, she would just do the same thing as them and try every means to get the antidote.
Xia Donglai nodded, the knife still pressed against Qian Peilan's neck.
Lu Ying had already left, but this person was still so nervous. Qian Peilan couldn't help but laugh, "This guard, you don't need to be so nervous. You're here, and the people outside are your people too. Where can we go? We can't go anywhere. Don't worry, please sit down!"
Looking at Qian Peilan's smug face, Xia Donglai remained unmoved, only coldly responding with a single word: "Dirty!"
Qian Peilan's face immediately darkened.
"What did you say? The antidote for Second Master has been found?" Upon learning Lu Ying's purpose, Bai Nuo immediately stood up excitedly, her face beaming with joy. "Great! Second Master is finally saved! Where is the antidote? We'll go and bring it back right now!"
"Young Madam, please don't get excited!" Lu Ying looked at the surprised Bai Nuo with a bitter expression. "There was a slight mishap with the antidote."
"What's wrong?" Bai Nuo asked quickly.
"The antidote is in Qian Peilan's hands."
Bai Nuo certainly knew who Qian Peilan was.
"How did the antidote end up in her hands?" Bai Nuo's face immediately turned cold. "Was it her who poisoned Second Master back then?"
Lu Ying shook her head. "I don't know. We only know that the antidote is in her hands, but whether she made it or not, we still need to investigate." The antidote and the poison could be from the same person, but they could also be from different people.
"What are her conditions for giving us the antidote!" Bai Nuo wasn't stupid. She knew that Lu Ying came here to find her, not her husband, because Qian Peilan had some conditions she wanted to discuss with her.
“She wants you to go and talk to her in person!” Lu Ying said.
