Upon hearing this, Chen Luyang smiled at his grandmother and explained, "These are some local jewelry items that I bought while purchasing the fabric."
"Local jewelry?" Chen Siyuan wasn't as excited as they expected; instead, she seemed a little serious.
Both Madam Chen and Chen Luyang were taken aback. What was going on?
"Brother, did you see any strange insects in that area, and they were much bigger than the ones we usually see?"
"Really?" Chen Luyang became interested.
He was a little surprised when he saw it. He had traveled all over the country for so many years and had never seen such a scene. How could his sister, who rarely went out and stayed at home all day, know about it?
"Butler!" Chen Siyuan called out, and soon Butler Cheng ran in from outside and stood next to Chen Siyuan.
"Young Miss".
"Go and invite Shi Dahai from your grandfather's pharmacy."
Butler Cheng found it strange; no one was sick, so why call that person over?
Feeling something was off, I quickly left.
"Sister, what's wrong?" Chen Luyang didn't know what was going on, but it was obviously something important.
"Brother, have you been bitten by any insects, made any promises to anyone, or eaten anything strange?"
A barrage of questions weighed on Chen Luyang, who found it strange and revealed what he knew.
When Shi Dahai arrived, Chen Luyang gave a general overview.
Chen Siyuan breathed a sigh of relief and said to Shi Dahai, "Dr. Shi, please take a look at my elder brother. Is there anything wrong with his health?"
Shi Dahai began taking Chen Siyuan's pulse and noticed her serious expression.
He is now a celebrity, all thanks to Chen Siyuan, and he treats Chen Siyuan with exceptional courtesy.
"What does 'Lady of the First Rank' mean?"
Chen Siyuan didn't mince words, "My older brother might have gone to the place where Gu poison is used. Could you check if he's been affected?"
Upon hearing this, Shi Dahai frowned and carefully began to take Chen Luyang's pulse. He then took the initiative to lead Chen Luyang into the house to check for any wounds on his body and whether he had been infected.
Chen Siyuan and Madam Chen waited anxiously outside.
Chen Siyuan felt scared and regretful, all because of herself. If she hadn't seen those strange pieces of jewelry, she wouldn't have wanted to go to that terrible place.
I just can't believe that the fabric I want comes from such a place.
No wonder we haven't been able to open up the market for so many years; the people there are just too terrible.
Fortunately, after a thorough examination, it was confirmed that Chen Luyang was alright.
Chen Siyuan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
I was happy for a short while when I saw that my older brother had a sachet hanging from his waist.
The embroidery on this sachet was a little different. She stared at it for a few moments, then pointed at it and asked her elder brother, "Brother, who gave you this?"
Chen Luyang didn't pay any attention and simply took off the sachet and looked at it in his hand.
A smile appeared on his honest face. "It was a gift from a friend."
Chen Siyuan glanced at it carefully, then looked at Shi Dahai, "Dr. Shi, take a look at this."
Chen Luyang picked it and handed it to Shi Dahai. Shi Dahai looked at it carefully, smelled it, and then opened it to reveal what was inside. With just one glance, Shi Dahai's expression changed.
Chen Siyuan's expression was also not good.
When she suggested that Shi Dahai examine her, Shi Dahai knew what was going on.
He didn't know how Chen Siyuan knew this at such a young age, but obviously she knew the terrifying nature of this thing, otherwise she wouldn't be so cautious.
"How is it?" Chen Siyuan felt like she was speaking in a pinched voice.
"Young Master, where did you get this?"
"It was a gift from a friend."
Shi Dahai nodded. "Young Master, this friend of yours is truly your benefactor." He didn't mince words and said directly, "If it weren't for this sachet, Young Master would probably have already fallen victim to it."
If you are actually infected, there is still a chance of recovery, but this sachet is indeed more potent.
"Dr. Shi, you mean...?" Chen Siyuan was extremely nervous.
Her eldest brother is a member of the Chen family. If she suffers because of this incident, she will never forgive herself.
“Madam, this young lady is very attentive to the young master.” After saying this, Shi Dahai finished arranging the sachet and presented it to Chen Luyang with both hands. “Young master, it would be best if you did not have contact with other women recently.”
The words were spoken in a subtle way, and Chen Luyang did not understand what they meant, but Chen Siyuan and Madam Chen understood their meaning.
Chen Siyuan's face turned pale, and she stumbled back a few steps. Only with the help of her maid did she manage not to fall.
Old Mrs. Chen swayed a few times, and Lin Ma supported her. She stared at her grandson, her eyes reddening.
"Doctor Shi, is there no solution?"
“There is a solution, but it requires the person to do it..." she said, looking at Shi Dahai.
Chen Siyuan couldn't take it anymore and fell to the ground.
How could this happen? How could this be?
Does this mean my brother will suffer misfortune because of me, and be controlled by a stranger whose appearance I don't even know?
No, she couldn't accept it.
Chen Siyuan cried.
She cried silently.
She cried like a child.
Helpless and lost, she seemed to see no future, as if her path had come to an end. She struggled desperately, yet could not escape the predetermined fate.
She kept asking herself in her mind, why did this happen?
If I die, will I be able to avoid implicating them?
Looking at her familiar relatives, Chen Siyuan could no longer remain calm.
He staggered to his feet and swayed as he walked outside.
Madam Chen was so shocked that she couldn't even speak.
Shi Dahai sighed beside him.
There's nothing he can do about it.
Seeing what was inside the sachet, he knew he had no other choice.
It should be said that someone deliberately delayed things, which led to this outcome.
On the contrary, Chen Luyang, seeing his sister about to leave, quickly ran up to her and blocked her way, "Sister, what did you mean by what you were saying just now?"
Chen Siyuan cried silently, "Big brother, I'm sorry, it's my fault." If she hadn't gone to find Bu Yuan, this wouldn't have happened, and she wouldn't have implicated her brother.
"What do you mean by that?" Chen Luyang asked again.
Shi Dahai couldn't stand it any longer and came over to explain to Chen Luyang, "Young Master, was this sachet given to you by a woman?"
"Um."
When she gave you this sachet, did she give you anything to drink or eat?
Chen Luyang thought for a moment, then nodded again, "I ate a bowl of porridge."
"That bowl of porridge seems different from what we saw?"
Chen Luyang nodded again, "It's all dark, you can't see anything."
Shi Dahai had lost all hope. Seeing the devastated Chen Siyuan beside him, he told her what he knew.
"Madam, I'm sorry, I'm powerless to help you."
