When he arrived at the door, Lin Yue quickly got off the carriage and went forward to knock on the door.
"Please wait a moment. I'll go knock on the door."
Lin Yue patted the door a few times, neither too light nor too heavy. Fang and Qiaomei, who were preparing breakfast in the kitchen, naturally heard the sound.
"Who is it? You're knocking on the door so early in the morning? Qiaomei, take your time washing up. I'll go open the door first."
Qiaomei nodded and continued to squat aside to wash the vegetables. Fang quickly went to open the door.
Seeing that it was Lin Yue, he was a little surprised, "Brother? Why are you here so early? Did something happen in the store?"
Seeing her worried, Lin Yue quickly comforted her, "No, no, I'm just showing you the way. Someone's looking for Xiao Lingling. Is the child awake?"
As he was speaking, a woman dressed in a slightly richer style came over from behind.
But it can be seen that he should be a servant.
Although she was wearing a cotton-padded jacket embroidered with floral patterns and a silver hairpin in her hair, her attitude was very respectful.
"Madam, I am a servant of the Jia family. I am here on the orders of our mistress to look for a girl named Xiao Lingdang.
The girl said a few days ago that if you encounter any problems, you can come to her for help."
Fang was stunned for a moment, not quite able to react, but when she thought of her daughter's casual demeanor, she began to believe it to a point.
"Then please come in first. She has gone to practice morning exercises next door. I'll go call someone now."
Fang invited the person in and asked him to sit on the stone bench next to her for a while, then she quickly went to the backyard next door.
Xiao Lingling had just finished warming up by twisting her hips. She was a little surprised to see Fang running over. "Mom?"
Fang gave her a sullen look. "What did you make a promise to someone out there? How come they've come to our house?"
Xiao Lingling looked confused, not knowing what she was angry about, but she soon remembered something.
"Ah! Is there someone looking for me?"
Fang poked her little head and said, "What else could it be? Your uncle personally led the way. It's so early in the morning, and your uncle couldn't even get enough rest!"
Xiao Lingling shrank her neck. She really hadn't expected this to happen.
After hearing what Li said, Lin Hao and others also stopped.
"Mom, what happened?"
Fang shook her head. "No, I'm here to look for your sister! I don't know what the matter is, but she looks very anxious."
Qin Yu glanced at Xiao Lingling and said nothing.
Xu Guling folded her arms and looked at her little disciple, "Do you need help, Master?"
Little Bell smiled and shook her head, then said mysteriously, "Master, I don't think you'll need to, but I might have to bother you, Brother."
"Ah, that's fine. Go ahead and bother me if you want. I won't see him for eight hundred years anyway."
Xu Guling waved her hand jokingly, "Since you are busy, go upstairs and take a rest today, but you have to make up for it tomorrow."
"Alright! Don't worry, Master. I will definitely surpass my second brother and the others!"
After saying that, he followed Li and walked back happily.
Qin Yu made a secret gesture, and soon someone took action in secret and followed Xiao Lingling.
Xu Guling glanced at him but didn't say much.
When the woman saw Xiao Lingling, she immediately stood up excitedly and said, "Little girl, I'm glad to see you!"
Xiao Lingling had seen her before. It was she who had accompanied the lady to buy cherries.
"Grandma, you're here. What happened?"
Mother Sun nodded with a bitter face, "Little girl, you are right.
My young master is currently suffering from a severe poison and none of the doctors in town can cure him.
My wife thought of what you said before, so she arranged for me to come find you and help you."
Xiao Lingling sighed, looking quite regretful, "It seems that you still haven't been able to defend yourself."
Mother Sun's eyes were red with worry. "We really tried our best, but we never thought that this person would actually steal clothes and hats.
Now the young master is in imminent danger, please help me, little girl!"
Little Bell nodded and said, "Okay, wait a moment, I'll go get someone."
After saying that, without waiting for Mother Sun to reply, he quickly ran to the next yard. As soon as he entered, he went straight to the innermost back room and knocked on the door loudly.
"Brother, please come out quickly. I need your help. Someone has been poisoned, and many doctors can't cure it. Do you want to go and take a look?"
The next moment, the door opened with a snap.
"Where is the poison?"
Little Bell frowned again at his unkempt appearance. "Brother, are you sure you want to go out like this?"
Xu Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment, looking at the little apprentice sister at the door, then looked down at his dirty clothes...
He felt inexplicably embarrassed.
Bang!
He closed the door again.
"Junior sister, wait for me for a moment, I'll be ready soon."
Then I heard the sound of jingling and banging coming from the room.
A moment later, he came out in clean clothes.
Even the smell on his body had completely disappeared, leaving only a hint of medicinal fragrance, and he was carrying an extra-large medicine box on his back.
"Junior sister, let's go. I'll go with you."
Xiao Lingling nodded in satisfaction. As soon as they came out, they saw Mother Sun already waiting by the carriage, her face full of anxiety.
Xiao Lingdang knew she was anxious, so she didn't hesitate. "Come on, Senior Brother, can you sit outside with my uncle for a while?"
Xu Xiuyuan didn't care about these at all. He waved his hand and sat down.
On the way, Mother Sun told the Jia family what had happened in the past few days. It must be said that it was full of twists and turns.
On the night they returned from buying cherries, a fire broke out in the main courtyard where their wives lived. The fire was not small and started from the side room.
Unfortunately, it suddenly rained heavily that night, and the fire went out on its own without anyone helping. In the end, not even one of the side rooms was burned out.
The lady became alert at that time.
Sure enough, arsenic poison was detected in the food the next day.
It's no need to guess who did it, but after searching for a long time, there was no evidence, so we had to give up.
What's more, there are guests coming to the house, and the lady doesn't want to make too much noise.
As a result, they refused to give up until they achieved their goal, and that night they set their evil intentions on the young master.
This time it was not food, but clothes.
This was something no one had expected. As a result, the young master was poisoned and vomited blood that night.
The lady didn't care about the heavy rain and called all the doctors in the county, but unfortunately they could only suppress the poison but not detoxify it.
Seeing that the young master's health was getting worse, the lady finally remembered what Xiao Lingling said.
So, early in the morning, he asked Mother Sun to find Lin Yue to lead the way.
Xiao Lingling couldn't help but be surprised after hearing this. How could this person be so resilient?
This is completely a case of not letting the poison stop until you are dead, and they are even trying to cut off the source of the problem.
Whenever something happens to Young Master Jia, Madam will also be upset. This is even more cruel than taking Madam's life.
The carriage sped along, and the journey that would have taken more than an hour was completed in less than half an hour.
