Chapter 047 Why are you doing this?

The maid returned to Pinming Tower and found that the young lady was missing. She hurried back to the prime minister's residence to tell the old lady about it. Meng Suqiu, who had just finished lunch and was resting, got out of bed in a hurry after hearing what Grandma Chen said.

He asked someone to call Wei Mingxi's maid into the room, and after asking her what happened in detail, he said angrily: "Mingxi, this girl, how can she be so troublesome?"

Although she was angry, the first thing Meng Suqiu thought of was the Ruan Mansion. Since Mingxi was with the young master of the Ruan family in the end, maybe he went to the Ruan Mansion, changed his clothes and prepared to go out.

After Zhou Suzhi returned home, she was also in a bad mood. She had a very bad impression of Miss Qi. Although she was the daughter of the Minister, she was insolent and looked down on others. If Qingzhou married such a girl, let alone taking care of her husband and children, she would have a hard time living a peaceful life.

Seeing that she was unwilling to go back to her room to talk, Ruan Chengfu sat with her in the courtyard. Knowing that she was not satisfied with the marriage, he said, "We are just trying to see. If you are not satisfied, forget it."

Zhou Yunzhi leaned forward and looked outside the yard: "The two of them had a quarrel. It should be time for Qingzhou to come back."

"Hey, this kid likes to wander around, maybe he's going somewhere to play again."

As soon as he finished speaking, a servant came running over to report that Madam He had arrived.

Wei Mingxi kept making noise until dark, and finally leaned against the edge of the tub exhausted. Ruan Qingzhou, who had been holding her down to prevent her from moving, finally let go.

Wei Mingxi in the jar felt dizzy and heavy-headed, while Ruan Qingzhou outside the jar looked worried. How could he be poisoned by this drug out of the blue?

Wei Mingxi is missing, and Madam He must be very worried. But even if she wants to send him back, it is impossible now. Wei Mingxi is tired, but the effect of the medicine has not worn off yet. Even if he is taken out of the jar, he may not be able to stand steadily.

What happened today is too strange. This medicine could not have been given by Wei Mingxi, otherwise she would not have drunk it herself.

Then it’s only Qi Siwei.

Ruan Qingzhou frowned and thought for a long time, but he couldn't remember anything wrong when the two met. They were sitting opposite each other at the time, and Qi Siwei shouldn't have had that opportunity.

Teapot?

Did the matchmaker touch the teapot?

Finally figuring it out, Ruan Qingzhou decided to go to the Prime Minister's Residence first to clarify things, otherwise if there was a misunderstanding, he wouldn't be able to explain himself.

Just as he was about to get up from the ground, the gate was slammed open and a group of people rushed in, led by his parents and the master and mistress of the He family.

In the night, Wei Mingxi was soaking in the tub, his eyes closed, as if he had stopped breathing.

Everyone was stunned when they saw this, especially Meng Suqiu, who swayed and was supported by He Qizhan, tears immediately falling from her eyes.

Zhou Yunzhi's lips kept trembling and she couldn't utter a word. She couldn't understand why such a big thing happened suddenly.

Meng Suqiu's crying broke the silence in the yard.

"Son, why are you doing this?" Zhou Yunzhi sat paralyzed on the ground. Even Ruan Chengfu was dumbfounded and didn't know what to do.

But Ruan Qingzhou didn't know why they were crying: "Mom, why are you crying? I didn't do anything. I swear, I didn't touch her at all."

The courtyard was in chaos, but Wei Mingxi, who had just fallen asleep, was awakened by the noise. When she saw her aunt, she also cried in grievance, complaining as she cried: "Aunt... Ruan Qingzhou pressed me into the water tank and wouldn't let me out. You have to save Mingxi."

Meng Suqiu: “…”

Everyone: “…”

Wei Mingxi, who was lying like a corpse, was seen leaning weakly on the edge of the tub. Zhou Yunzhi hurriedly asked her son to carry him into the house.

This courtyard was originally bought temporarily by Ruan Qinghuan for his brother. There were only two sets of clothes for Ruan Qingzhou. Zhou Yunzhi and Meng Suqiu had no time to care about anything else and ordered the maid to quickly change clothes for Wei Mingxi, who was suffering from a cold body.

Ruan Chengfu, who was outside, almost had a heart attack. He pulled his son aside and kicked him: "What are you doing? You are a good person, but you pushed him into a water tank. You, you, you..."

"With your personality, you should have forgotten about the little friction before. How could you take revenge like this?" Ruan Chengfu paced impatiently: "We are alone, on a dark night with strong winds. If this gets out..."

Ruan Qingzhou: "Isn't this also thanks to you for arranging the meeting?"

Ruan Qingzhou recounted the whole story, which was overheard by Meng Suqiu who had just walked out of the house. She was very shocked.

Qi Siwei had a good reputation among the noble ladies in the capital. She was talented and had a good family background. She was the target of many marriage proposals. Why did she use such despicable means?

Living in the prime minister's residence, my father was once an official in the court. Now his son is the prime minister. Although the He family is famous in the capital, the court is unpredictable and many things can happen.

Fortunately, Mingxi met Qingzhou, otherwise... the consequences would be unimaginable.

Meng Suqiu looked exhausted, but she was happy in her heart: "My child, I am so sorry for you today."

After hearing what Madam He said, Ruan Qingzhou felt embarrassed: "Today's incident was caused by me, but the situation is urgent. If I don't get medical treatment in time, I'm afraid that my blood will surge up and hurt my heart..."

The dosage of this medicine is not small. Not to mention Wei Mingxi, even a seven-foot-tall man may not be able to withstand it.

Just as the incident was over and everyone was about to leave, Ruan Qingzhou suddenly thought of something: "Wait, when Qi Siwei left, she seemed to have drunk that pot of tea as well."

He was going to drink it originally, but he didn't because Wei Mingxi suddenly showed up and saved himself from this plot.

In other words, Qi Siwei didn't know about the drugging.

The one who started it all was the matchmaker?

**

Near the south gate of the capital, in a courtyard, there were bursts of mournful cries, but this place was remote and no one paid attention.

In the room, under the influence of drugs, Qi Siwei completely lost her mind. It was not until the moon was at its zenith that the room finally became quiet.

Qi Siwei was thrown on the bed and the man got up and put on his clothes.

Someone outside the window whispered, "Sir, the Qi family has started looking for someone."

"knew."

"Who are you?" Qi Siwei's voice was weak. She couldn't see the man's face in the dark. She was extremely panicked and didn't know how she became like this.

Just when she asked her maid to buy some food, she felt the car was too hot and uncomfortable and just wanted to get out for some fresh air. How did she end up in this place?

Also...

She was a noble lady from a wealthy family. After she reached the age of 15, she would naturally be taught by a nanny. So, she knew very well what tonight meant.

"You don't need to know who I am. You just need to know that I will come to you when I need you." The man's tone was cold and a little teasing.

"What do you want?" He was talking to someone outside just now and he clearly knew her identity, but he still dared to say that to her... This shows that this person's identity is not simple.

In the darkness, the long sword was unsheathed, flashing a cold light in the dark room, and then it was thrust back: "If you don't want to die, then serve me well. When the time comes, you will know what you should know."
