Just then, countless insects were approaching Su Xuerou, and the maids present screamed and fled in all directions in fright.
"ah……"
Upon seeing the insects, Su Xuerou disregarded Ye Jintang and desperately swung her whip, trying to shake them off.
"Second...Second Madam, on your body..." The maid who originally wanted to escape was surprised to find that although these insects appeared, they only gathered in the direction of Su Xuerou.
It seems their only target is Su Xuerou.
Seeing that the whip was covered with all sorts of insects, some of which were even flying towards her face, Su Xuerou hurriedly shook it off. In her fear, she shouted to the people around her, "What are you waiting for? Come and help me!"
Those present had never seen anything like it before. In addition, the insects were so densely packed that just a glance from afar was enough to make one's scalp tingle. Some were worried that Su Xuerou would settle scores later. As soon as they got closer, the insects swarmed from Su Xuerou alone to the people who approached.
Screams continued to erupt, and the others dared not make any further moves; some even rushed out of the yard.
Su Xuerou looked at the insects, then at Ye Jintang who was unharmed, her eyes filled with rage. "Ye Jintang, did you do this?!"
"dislike?"
Ye Jintang narrowed his eyes slightly and asked Su Xuerou a question.
"Get these things out of my way! I am now the second wife of the Marquis's mansion. I have not only Brother Mu Bai, but also the Minister's mansion. Ye Jintang, if you hurt me, my father, and even Brother Mu Bai and the others will not let you off!"
At this moment, although Su Xuerou was afraid of these insects, she still didn't forget to utter threatening words.
Ye Jintang scoffed, "Jiang Mubai also has the Minister's Mansion?"
"Su Xuerou, you're putting yourself on a pedestal."
"What do you mean?"
As Su Xuerou asked the question, she saw some insects crawling to her feet. She jumped up and tried to shake them all off.
But the more they did this, the more the insects crawled.
This reminded her of the time when Ye Jintang left the Marquis's mansion, during which all sorts of strange insects appeared in the mansion.
Judging from Ye Jintang's current reaction, Su Xuerou could almost conclude that the current situation was closely related to her.
The commotion here is so loud, yet the guards on duty haven't reacted at all, which is enough to prove that something has happened.
Otherwise, even if Ye Jintang had other skills, he could have used these guards to hold them off for a while.
Just as Su Xuerou was wondering what to do, she heard Ye Jintang's voice.
"The Minister's mansion already has Su He as its legitimate daughter, and the mistress of the Marquis's mansion comes from a prestigious family and is even related to the imperial concubine in the palace. Otherwise, why do you think Minister Su would not dare to reveal your identity even though he knows you exist?"
It was only after her encounter with the Imperial Concubine during her last visit to the palace that she gained some understanding of these relationships. She never expected that Su Xuerou would dare to use the Minister's Mansion to pressure her.
"Su Xuerou, to the Minister's mansion, you are nothing more than an illegitimate daughter. As for the Marquis's mansion, Jiang Mubai, do you think he still doesn't dare to divorce me?"
"She's just a concubine; we should treat her as an equal."
Faced with Ye Jintang's ridicule, Su Xuerou blushed and for a moment, she felt that Ye Jintang was right.
But she would never admit it outwardly, because if she did, wouldn't that imply that she was inferior to others?
This is something Su Xuerou absolutely cannot accept!
But with these insects around, she couldn't get close to Ye Jintang at all.
"Ye Jintang, don't you want to save your maid?"
"Um?"
Ye Jintang hesitated, looking at the unconscious Green Lotus on the ground, and frowned slightly.
She went over and took Green Lotus's pulse. Her breath was weak, and someone had poisoned her body with a kind of Gu poison.
This kind of Gu poison feeds on its host until it tortures the person to death; it's a very insidious method.
Do you have the antidote?
Seeing Su Xuerou's smug look, Ye Jintang asked.
"Get rid of these bugs first, and I'll tell you then."
Su Xuerou thought she had Ye Jintang under control and began to give orders.
But she didn't know that whether it was a Gu or poison, it was a trivial matter in front of Ye Jintang.
It's not even worth mentioning. The reason she asked Su Xuerou these questions was to see what other tricks this person had up their sleeve.
As if receiving some kind of order, the insects quickly retreated and disappeared in just a short while.
It was as if everything that had just happened was an illusion. Most of the maids in the courtyard, except for those who were unconscious, had already escaped, leaving only Ye Jintang and Su Xuerou.
As Ye Jintang dismissed the insects, he took out a pill from his spatial storage and infused it with some spiritual energy.
The spiritual power and the pill worked together to detoxify and destroy the Gu poisons. However, to Ye Jintang's surprise, the Gu poisons still contained malevolent energy.
Her malevolent aura was the same as when she was treating Ye He, indicating that she was one step closer to the truth about Ye He's accident.
With the poison neutralized, Green Lotus's life was saved, except for external injuries. As for the rest, it was Su Xuerou's turn.
Su Xuerou was even more shocked to see the insects disappear without a trace. She became extremely wary when Ye Jintang walked towards her.
She had to admit that Ye Jintang was indeed quite capable.
"Antidote."
Ye Jintang said coldly.
Hearing this, Su Xuerou couldn't help but feel a little guilty. She didn't have any antidote; these two pills were given to her by the Taoist priest.
Moreover, she went there with the intention of killing Ye Jintang from the beginning. Knowing that the pill would make people wish they were dead, she never thought there would be any antidote.
However, given what had just happened, Su Xuerou dared not relax her vigilance in the slightest.
"Ye Jintang, swallow this pill and I will give you the antidote."
Su Xuerou suddenly had a flash of inspiration. Since Ye Jintang was able to find this place for a maid, did it mean that this girl named Lühe was extremely important to her?
Then I'll make Ye Jintang take the same pills too. At that time, that bitch will no longer have the right to be arrogant.
Thinking of this, Su Xuerou immediately gave Ye Jintang an order.
"pill?"
Ye Jintang paused, showing some interest in what Su Xuerou was saying.
"Take it out and let me see it."
Su Xuerou was surprised, not expecting Ye Jintang to agree so quickly.
She couldn't help but feel contempt. How foolish! If it were her, even if the person had been by her side for a long time, she would have simply replaced the maid with another one even if the other person died. Instead, she would have sacrificed herself to obtain the antidote. But it was for the best.
Ye Jintang's current behavior is exactly what she wanted.
Su Xuerou quickly took out another pill and said to Ye Jintang, "As long as you take it, I will give you the antidote to save your maid."
