The whole afternoon was peaceful, and the old Duke and Madam Xiao showed up again in the afternoon.
After the dinner, there were fireworks. When the fireworks started to go off in the sky, a maid suddenly ran over and knelt in front of Shen Qiu, saying, "Miss, please make the decision for Miss Two!"
The person who came was Shen Rouyun's personal maid named Shaoyao. When everyone saw that there was a show to watch, they immediately stopped watching the fireworks and stared at Shen Qiu. Mingyue was impatient. Without waiting for Shen Qiu to say anything, she grabbed Shaoyao in one hand and jumped several feet away. In two jumps, she was out of the yard.
After explaining to everyone, Chen Qiu followed.
Mingyue brought Shaoyao to Ye Chen's study in Shuixie in one breath. When Chenqiu came over, Shaoyao was kneeling on the ground with her head down and her body trembling.
After Chen Qiu went over and sat on it, he didn't ask directly. He took a sip of tea and said, "Didn't you ask me to save the second young lady? Why are you silent now?"
What could she say about this? Their second young lady's original plan was to tell everyone that it was her brother-in-law Ye Chen who had defiled her, and to have Ye Chen take the blame and marry her directly. After all, they were both daughters of the Shen family, and there was nothing shameful about two sisters sharing the same husband.
But Shaoyao didn't expect that Mingyue would just pick her up and leave without saying a word.
She hadn't recovered from Mingyue's jumping around with her yet. Mingyue kicked Shaoyao and said, "I'm asking you a question. Are you deaf?"
Shaoyao then trembled and said, "Miss, you have to take charge of the matter for Miss. The eldest brother-in-law defiled Miss by the lotus pond in the west. You have to take charge of the matter for her!"
Chen Qiu glanced at Mingyue, who shook her head and said, "I stopped seeing the Duke halfway through the banquet!"
Chen Qiu clenched his fists and said to Mingyue, "Shut her mouth. If she makes another sound, beat her to death!"
After saying that, he walked towards the small lotus pond. On the way, Xing'er caught up with him and said, "Madam, I don't know where Mu Qing has gone. I can't find her, and I don't know if she is with the Duke!"
Chen Qiu walked quickly while shaking his head and said, "She won't be with my husband. She must have been tripped up. The banquet is almost over. Go find my grandmother right away and ask her to help me see the guests off. I'll go find my husband!"
Xing'er responded and ran towards Rongwei Hall. Originally, the distance from the water pavilion to the small pond was not far, but today Chen Qiu felt that he could not reach it no matter how hard he tried. Later, he did not care whether anyone would see him or not, and he just took a deep breath and jumped over all obstacles.
When Chen Qiu arrived at the small pond, he saw Ye Chen lying on the ground with his clothes undone. Shen Rouyun was only wearing a bellyband and was sitting on the side crying!
Chen Qiu walked forward and saw that Ye Chen was unconscious, so he picked up Ye Chen and let him lean on his arms. Although Ye Chen was in good health, he was just a scholar. When Chen Qiu picked him up, he found that Ye Chen's body was hot as if it was on fire.
Shen Qiu said to Shen Rouyun beside him: "If anything happens to my husband, I will definitely let you and your mother go find your father!"
Then he stretched out his hand and slashed at Shen Rouyun's neck. After Shen Rouyun fainted, he dragged her behind a rockery, picked up Ye Chen and ran towards the water pavilion.
On the way, he met Mingyue who came and asked her to take Shen Rouyun to the water pavilion.
Chen Qiu took Ye Chen all the way back to the water pavilion. Seeing Ye Chen unconscious, a lot of blood was flowing out of his hair from his forehead. After Mingyue came back, she locked Chen Rouyun and Shaoyao in the utility room of the water pavilion.
Chen Qiu asked Mingyue to take Ye Chen's badge to ask for the imperial physician, but as soon as she went out, she bumped into someone's arms.
"Hey, whose girl is this? Why is she throwing herself into my arms so directly?" the man said with a smile.
Mingyue instinctively slapped out with a palm, but the man avoided it effortlessly. Although Mingyue was not as good as Chenqiu, she was also considered an expert, but this man was able to avoid it easily.
Chen Qiu asked: "Who are you? How did you get into the Duke's Mansion?"
The man said with a smile: "Don't be like this, we are all family. I am the owner of that medicine garden!"
Chen Qiu asked anxiously, "Are you Xiao Hang?"
Xiao Hang ignored Mingyue's look and said, "Hey, you know me? Let me guess, you are Ye Chen's new wife? The one called Chen Qiu?"
Shen Qiu nodded and said: "Yes"
Xiao Hang glanced at Ye Chen lying on the bed and said, "Xiao Chenzi, Xiao Chenzi, what's wrong with you?"
Then he grabbed Ye Chen's hand and took his pulse. After taking his pulse, he said to Shen Qiu: "This kid is really attractive to women. I don't know which woman wants to be his woman and actually gave him such a strong drug!"
Chen Qiu asked worriedly, "What medicine is it? Can you cure it?"
Xiao Hang waved his hands and said, "I can't solve it, but you can!"
Chen Qiu pointed at himself and asked, "How do I solve it?"
Xiao Hang said with a smile: "It's about having sex. He was poisoned with Hehe Powder, an aphrodisiac ten times more potent than Hehuan Powder."
Before Chen Qiu could react, Xiao Hang pulled out a roll of cloth from his arms and opened it, saying, "This medicine is too strong. If you give it to him directly, he might die of sperm exhaustion. I have to give him acupuncture to help him relieve the pain before you can start detoxifying him."
Without waiting for Chen Qiu to speak, Xiao Hang pulled down Ye Chen's pants. Mingyue screamed and ran out, and Chen Qiu also turned around.
Xiao Hang only heard him say: "The person who poisoned Xiao Chenzi was after his life. Not only did he want to die, he also wanted to ruin his reputation! How vicious!"
Chen Qiu clenched her fists unconsciously when she heard what Xiao Hang said. What kind of relationship did she have with Chen Rouyun that made her hate her so deeply that she would treat her husband like this?
Although her husband had liked someone else before, he had been very good to her since the second day of their marriage. She couldn't think of anyone better than her husband, not even her father and brother.
As Shen Qiu was thinking, she heard Ye Chen groan. Shen Qiu immediately ran to the bed and squatted beside Ye Chen, asking anxiously: "How is my husband? Why hasn't he woken up yet?"
Xiao Hang picked up a silver needle and jabbed it into Ye Chen's foot. Ye Chen suddenly sat up, then grabbed Chen Qiu's hand and said, "Qiu'er, I didn't do anything to let you down. I was afraid I couldn't bear it, so I fainted. I really didn't do anything to let you down!"
Xiao Hang said with a smile: "If you do it, you won't need your wife to detoxify you. Okay, I can detoxify your husband."
After saying that, he winked at Ye Chen and walked out.
Madam Xiao sent the guests away on behalf of Chen Qiu and asked Xing'er what had happened. Xing'er had been staying with Madam Xiao the whole time, so she didn't know what had happened exactly.
At this time, Xiao Hang came over and told them directly what he had seen and heard in the water pavilion. He asked Madam Xiao and the old Duke not to worry, and that everything would be clear when they came over tomorrow.
