Chapter 917 Minor Vulnerability
"I already said it's about details."
Madam Xu probably understood Lin Yuesha and Xu Da's plan, and took the initiative to put on a show for the foreign spies.
Given Helian Cheng's suspicious nature, he might very well show up in person.
Helian Cheng was worried that his side might plot against him, so he was extremely cautious. In fact, what really bothered him was just a few words spoken behind his back.
"That girl Yue Sha looked at the bowl of porridge in front of her with longing in her eyes, but she still held back and only drank a few mouthfuls of porridge."
Madam Xu asked Bai Cha, and Lin Yuesha hadn't eaten all day, so she must be very hungry.
Lin Yuesha stopped looking at the porridge in front of her and pushed it away. Coupled with the look that Madam Xu caught, Madam Xu began to have doubts.
Outsiders wouldn't notice, since they were eavesdropping from a distance.
"Old ginger is spicier."
Xu Da gave a thumbs up, then straightened his expression. Since his mother had figured it out, Xu Da would tell her the truth and explain the next steps.
"A brilliant plan!"
Madam Xu was full of praise, but there was one thing that worried her: Qi Heng had used himself to lure Helian Cheng into a trap, and if Helian Cheng decided to kill him, he might just take action...
This move was far too risky, almost a gamble with one's own life.
Did Yue Sha know about it?
Madam Xu understood Lin Yuesha's personality, so Qi Heng must have been hiding something from her.
"Mother, you are still the best."
Xu Da was completely convinced, and Qi Heng, despite his silver tongue, was helpless against Lin Yuesha. So Qi Heng tricked Lin Yuesha into believing that he had found a substitute.
The person lying on the bed was Qi Heng himself, but Lin Yuesha was unaware of it.
"Why didn't you say so earlier? Otherwise, I could have stayed and watched the excitement for a while."
Madam Xu was anxious to return and cooperated with Qi Heng's plan.
"What's all the fuss about?"
Xu Da was confused. Qi Heng was already like this, almost like a zombie. How could he possibly have the ability to be romantic?
If we're talking about the best actor among them, Qi Heng is undoubtedly the one, since it's difficult to adjust one's breathing to a state of barely perceptible breathing.
Not eating, not drinking, and not using the toilet are abilities that most people don't have.
"Because you can't imagine it, that's why you've been single all this time."
As expected, Qi Heng fell into a trap himself while trying to deceive Lin Yuesha.
On their way back, the mother and son happened to encounter the Prince of Luo's carriage.
The Prince of Luo traveled discreetly to visit Qi Heng, partly to test the waters.
What are the chances of a fox that has cultivated itself into a spirit being cursed with a seven-day death spell? In the eyes of the King of Luo, Qi Heng is absolutely immortal.
"well."
When Madam Xu met Prince Luo, she didn't say a word, just sighed and left.
When the Prince of Luo met the two men, he had a bad feeling. Could it be true?
...
In the courtyard, the account books on the table inside the room were piled up like a mountain. Qingxing and Qi'er joined in, and the master and servants sorted them out together.
“Miss, this ledger is too messy; what you see is just the tip of the iceberg.”
Bai Cha looked through the ledger and made a note of it; it was an account book from several years ago and not very valuable.
Before Wang Binglan fled, she obediently handed over the key, but she kept a secret by mixing the account books together, which almost filled the entire room.
When Lin Yuesha took over, she first organized the accounts by year, and then she had to separate the latest ledgers and transcribe them using Arabic numerals.
"Be content. At least the ledger is still there, and have you forgotten? Wang Binglan has already settled the money for hiring people, and it's more than she paid."
Lin Yuesha mentioned the things he said to deceive Wang Binglan, and guessed that Wang Binglan had already taken the pills by now.
"Miss, it's time for the young general to take his medicine."
Bai Cha glanced at the sky, went out to brew medicine, and soon the courtyard was filled with the bitter smell of medicine.
After a short while, Bai Cha entered with a bowl of medicine and chopsticks. She looked troubled and said, "Miss, the young general is unconscious. How can we possibly get him to drink this bowl of medicine?"
"Let me think about it."
Lin Yuesha was in a dilemma. The stand-in who was impersonating Qi Heng was almost out of breath. Finding a hollow grass to use as a straw wouldn't work. It would be better to pry open his jaw and force it in.
"Miss, I have an idea."
Bai Cha placed the medicine bowl on the small table in front of the bed. There was someone in her hometown village who was in a similar situation to Qi Heng. In the end, the doctor came up with a solution: he had the man's wife hold a mouthful of the medicine in her mouth and then put it in.
This method should only be used between married couples.
Miss and Qi Heng are getting married, so this is an urgent matter. Besides, Miss isn't coy, which is why Bai Cha suggested this method.
Lin Yuesha had a bitter face. She couldn't let him feed her the medicine; the person in bed was a substitute! Feeding him the medicine would be like kissing him, which wasn't as simple as losing face.
Bai Cha's random suggestion put Lin Yuesha in a dilemma.
"Miss, the medicine is at the perfect temperature. The young general should drink it while it's hot."
Bai Cha was completely unaware of the situation, and thus urged her young mistress.
On the bed, Qi Heng's heart was racing, but he sensed someone on the roof, guessing that the plan was going well and that Yuwen Kun and Helian Cheng had come together.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, if his wife feeds him the medicine, he won't find the medicine bitter; on the contrary, he'll be getting the better deal.
However, the thought that Lin Yuesha was willing to feed an unrelated substitute made Qi Heng conflicted, hoping that his wife would not make a move.
"White tea, absolutely not!"
Qingxing, noticing Lin Yuesha's unease, inwardly resented her mistress for lying and hurriedly tried to cover it up, saying, "It's not that Miss hesitated. The young general used a method of fighting poison with poison to delay. This bowl of medicine is highly poisonous. If it's not fed properly and Miss inhales it, then..."
As a result, Lin Yuesha was also poisoned.
Qingxing only wanted to help Lin Yuesha find an excuse, but she overlooked other things.
Upon hearing that the medicine was highly poisonous, Bai Cha became uneasy. She widened her eyes and said, "Miss, you must not touch it. Why don't I do it? I will feed the medicine to the young general."
Bai Cha made up her mind. Ever since she sold herself into slavery, she had belonged to her mistress, and her life belonged to her mistress.
Bai Cha picked up the medicine bowl with the decisiveness of a warrior cutting off his own arm, which startled Qi Heng, who was lying on the bed.
There were two onlookers on the roof. Qi Heng couldn't make a move, otherwise all his plans would be in vain. But if he didn't resist, he was on the verge of losing his virginity.
"White tea? No way!"
Qingxing quickly stepped forward to stop Baicha, her forehead beaded with sweat.
The only flaw in the lord's plan is this one small one.
"Yes, white tea, you can't have it either!"
Qi'er was so anxious she was pacing back and forth. If she and Qingxing didn't stop it, and Baicha really fed the master the medicine, the consequences for the two of them... Qi'er didn't dare to think about it.
It was clearly the master's fault, but the subordinates had no choice but to take the blame.
Why?
Bai Cha was very unhappy, feeling that Qing Xing and Qi'er were too selfish. She was not afraid of death if she could save the young general's life.
Things have come to this point, and we can't delay any longer. Besides, having someone else administer the medication carries the same risk, so it's better for her to do it herself.
"No, I'll do it."
Lin Yuesha took the medicine bowl. Although this person was a substitute, it was Lin Yuesha's responsibility, and there was no reason for Bai Cha to take her place.
The medicine is definitely fine; the only issue is that it's fed orally. If Qi Heng finds out and thinks it damages her reputation and is being too old-fashioned, then it's better if they part ways.
These are not issues that should be considered right now.
