Chapter 263 Carbon Poison
The servants of the Duke's Mansion searched until evening but still couldn't find Ju'er.
Luo Yiwan was so anxious that she had no appetite for dinner.
Just as the maid had taken the food away, Aunt Zhuang sent Cai Gu over and asked her to come over.
"Has my aunt had her meal?"
When they arrived at Aunt Zhuang's courtyard, Luo Yiwan asked nervously.
Although Aunt Zhuang is nearly forty years old, she is well maintained. There are no wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, and from behind she looks like an unmarried girl.
She had a kind face and spoke softly and gently, but Luo Yiwan felt uneasy every time she saw her.
Perhaps it was because Aunt Zhuang had a heart that was completely different from her appearance.
"Just finished eating."
Aunt Zhuang replied, looking up at Luo Yiwan.
"I heard that you made a big fuss in the mansion to find a maid?"
Luo Yiwan nodded: "Ju'er in my yard is missing."
Aunt Zhuang took a sip of tea and continued, "Is this Ju'er the maid who followed your instructions today and lured the maidservant in the Madam's courtyard into drinking, causing the Madam to escape?"
"no."
Luo Yiwan subconsciously denied it.
"I didn't tell her to send food and wine to the people in the Madam's courtyard. She took the initiative. I was just about to find her to settle the score, but I couldn't find her no matter how hard I looked. I guess she felt guilty and was afraid that I would punish her later, so she secretly climbed over the wall and left the house."
"I see."
Aunt Zhuang responded indifferently.
"A maid who betrays her master must be disciplined."
Luo Yiwan responded, "Auntie is right. When I find her, I will definitely teach her a lesson."
Aunt Zhuang then asked a few more questions about their confrontation with Ji Changqing today, and then said, "Better safe than sorry. You all should act with caution and not destroy yourselves."
Luo Yiwan obeyed and agreed.
Aunt Zhuang raised her hand to cover her mouth and yawned.
"I'm tired, you go back first."
Luo Yiwan said hello.
When she walked out of the yard, she still felt like she was in a dream.
The matter of secretly releasing Shen from the hospital was just covered up so lightly?
Aunt Zhuang didn't even scold her.
Probably because today was Baoer's first birthday, Aunt Zhuang didn't bother with her for Baoer's sake.
She felt inexplicably relieved.
A thought suddenly came to her mind: Even if Juer was arrested by the Dali Temple and confessed her, she could just deny it and say that Juer betrayed her and deliberately framed her.
The reasons are ready.
The girl had secretly peeked at Shang Zhichun several times and had long had evil thoughts in mind, but she did not let Shang Zhichun into her room, so the girl held a grudge against him.
Anyway, she only gave a verbal order and there was no other evidence. Was she still afraid that the girl would bite her to death?
I was so anxious before that I almost got trapped.
Now that she understood, her stomach couldn't help but growl.
When she returned to her own courtyard, she asked the kitchen to send another dinner.
After using it, I took a nice bath, lay down on the bed feeling relaxed, closed my eyes and fell asleep.
What she didn't know was that after she fell asleep, the maid who was on night watch tiptoed into the room, added a few more pieces of charcoal into the charcoal brazier, and closed all the windows.
After walking out of the inner room, close all the doors tightly.
Luo Yiwan was sleeping when she was hit by a severe headache. She woke up in pain and wanted to call the maid to come in, but her throat was so sore that she couldn't even speak.
My limbs felt like they had no bones and I couldn't even sit up in bed by myself.
"What's wrong with me?"
She thought vaguely.
"Am I dreaming?"
That should be it.
Only in dreams would it be like this, wanting to move but unable to, and could only watch things happen.
Just fall asleep.
If I fall asleep, my head won’t hurt and breathing won’t be so difficult.
She slowly closed her eyelids.
At this moment, a slightly plump figure jumped down from the beam of the outer room. He first knocked the maid who was guarding the night unconscious with a knife, then opened the door, walked to the bed, and carried the person on the bed onto his shoulders.
He then walked to the outer room, picked up the unconscious maid on duty, walked into the courtyard, jumped onto the roof, and disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye.
Luo Yiwan felt like someone was pushing her. She opened her eyes with difficulty and stared at the round face close to her for a long time before her consciousness suddenly returned.
“You, you are…”
Isn’t this Feng’s maid?
How did he suddenly appear in front of her?
Wuhua saw her wake up and called out to Feng Qingsui beside her: "Miss, she's awake."
Feng Qingsui moved over, squatted beside Luo Yiwan, handed a mirror to Luo Yiwan, and said with a smile: "Madam, please look in the mirror first."
Luo Yiwan was caught off guard when she saw the master and servant. Just as she was about to dodge, she suddenly caught a glimpse of the person in the mirror.
Her skin and lips were bright red, as if she had applied cherry red rouge.
He frowned and asked sternly, "What did you do to me?"
She had clearly taken off her makeup when she washed up, but these two people actually ran into her room and put makeup on her?
How can this be possible?
She struggled to sit up, but found that she had no strength in her body.
Feng Qingsui put away the mirror and said with a smile, "You have just been rescued, so you need some time to recover your strength."
Rescued?
Luo Yiwan was stunned.
Before she could ask, Feng Qingsui said, "There was a charcoal fire in your bedroom, and the night watch maid kept the doors and windows tightly closed. If I hadn't discovered that I had a missing ear and sent Wuhua to the Duke's Mansion to look for you, you would have been dead by now."
Luo Yiwan couldn't believe it.
"I'm suffering from carbon monoxide poisoning?"
She subconsciously wanted to refute, but remembering the symptoms of people who died from carbon monoxide poisoning that she had heard of, she raised her hand and wiped her face fiercely.
Her fingers were clean and her face was obviously free of makeup.
She looked at her palms and found that they were also extremely red.
Looking at the nails again, they look like they have just been dyed with Impatiens juice.
I was suddenly shocked.
Was she really poisoned?
The maid who is on night watch tonight was brought from the Cheng'en Marquis Mansion by her. She has been with her for almost ten years. What reason does she have to harm her?
The one who actually caused her to be poisoned by carbon monoxide was Feng, right?
The look she gave Feng Qingsui was instantly filled with vigilance.
Feng Qingsui chuckled, "You suspect we're going to harm you? We have no grudge against you, so why would we want to harm you? If we really wanted to harm you, why would we have rescued you and brought you to the Dali Temple?"
After hearing this, Luo Yiwan suddenly looked around and realized that she was not in the dormitory, but in a torture room.
His face was suddenly filled with horror.
"Why did you bring me to the Dali Temple?"
Could it be that they caught Ju'er and Ju'er betrayed her, and they wanted to seek justice for Qi?
"I've already said this during the day. I have absolutely no intention of murdering Madam Qi. You cannot torture me. I'm the wife of the Crown Prince of the Duke's Mansion, a woman of the quasi-first rank!"
These torture instruments all looked eerie and terrifying, and exuded a murderous aura. She almost fainted when she saw them, so how could she withstand the torture?
Feng Qingsui asked, "Do you know why your maid wants to harm you?"
Luo Yiwan paused and shook her head.
"If you don't know, then we don't know even more."
Feng Qingsui continued.
"If I leave you at the Duke's Mansion, who knows if you'll be murdered again? So I'm bringing you to the Dali Temple so you, the victim, can hear the maid's interrogation and find out who wants you dead."
