It takes less than five minutes to walk from Meng Chuying's house to Cheng Qingyan's house.
Urged on by Cheng Qingyan, they walked even faster.
Wangcai ran ahead and led the way, arriving at Cheng Qingyan's house in just two or three minutes.
When they got to the courtyard, Shen Ziyu was still lying on the table in the same position, and Ye Lingyu was wiping her face with a wet handkerchief.
Finally, Cheng Qingyan arrived with Ruan Banxia and the others. They quickly made way for Ruan Banxia to go and check.
After the consultation, Ruan Banxia lifted Shen Ziyu's eyelids and pinched her cheek.
Finally, she yawned and said, "It's nothing, she's just too tired and fell asleep."
Cheng Qingyan had an expression that said, "Do you think I believe you?", plus a face full of question marks.
Shen Ziyu clearly collapsed after drinking spiked liquor!
Ye Lingyu believed Cheng Qingyan's guilty conscience, and she didn't believe that Shen Ziyu had just fallen asleep from exhaustion.
Cheng Qingyan admitted that something had been added to the wine jar.
Ye Lingyu pinched Cheng Qingyan's ear: "What kind of shady deal did you two make with Ziyu?"
Ruan Banxia avoided Ye Lingyu's gaze. Cheng Qingyan's ears were being pulled so high; she didn't want to be pulled around by Ye Lingyu.
Cheng Qingyan cried out, "Wife, wife, be gentle, be gentle!"
"Dr. Ruan, please help me explain to my wife that there really is no shady deal between us!"
The louder Cheng Qingyan shouted, the more guilty Ruan Banxia appeared.
She felt guilty, so she remained silent and offered no explanation, which only made Cheng Qingyan suffer more.
Meng Chuying expressed her discomfort at being called over to watch a play so late at night.
Hiding to the side, silently praying not to be discovered.
Let Cheng Qingyan bear the pain alone; she and Ruan Banxia are both innocent.
Cheng Qingyan's shouts brought Yun Yue out.
Yun Yue's allergic reaction has almost completely subsided.
Hearing Cheng Qingyan's shouts from inside the house, she hurriedly came out, followed by her maid.
Upon seeing Yun Yue approaching quickly, Cheng Qingyan abruptly shut her mouth, only daring to inhale softly.
Yun Yue reached out her hand, unsure of how to rescue Cheng Qingyan.
Fortunately, when Ye Lingyu saw Yun Yue approaching, she let go of Cheng Qingyan's ear.
Yun Yue really wanted to pull Cheng Qingyan over, rub his ears, and see if they were pinched red.
But she was too embarrassed, since Cheng Qingyan didn't seem to like interacting with her.
She cleared her throat and asked, "What's going on? Why are they fighting so late at night?"
Before Ye Lingyu could speak, Cheng Qingyan preemptively replied, "I made a mistake, and my wife is disciplining me; she didn't hit me."
Yun Yue looked at Ye Lingyu: "You've done a good job educating her. It would be even better if she spoke more quietly next time."
Cheng Qingyan moved closer to Ye Lingyu: "I'll be quieter next time. I forgot you were resting."
After the maid helped Yun Yue sit down, Yun Yue realized that Shen Ziyu was lying on the table unresponsive.
Unable to sit still any longer, he immediately stood up and asked, "What's wrong with Ayu? Is she asleep?"
Feeling guilty, Cheng Qingyan moved closer to Ye Lingyu, while Ruan Banxia remained silent.
Ye Lingyu didn't want to hide it from Yun Yue. She was Shen Ziyu's family. Even if she hid it now, it would be discovered as soon as Yun Yue called Shen Ziyu.
"Ziyu was drugged by Ayan, and Doctor Ruan is treating her now."
“It was Ayan’s fault in this matter. If you want to hit or scold her, just take it out on me. It was my fault for not keeping a close eye on her.”
Yun Yue looked at Cheng Qingyan in disbelief: "You really drugged her?"
Cheng Qingyan lowered his head guiltily, nodded, and dared not look Yun Yue in the eye.
Now Yun Yue understood everything. Cheng Qingyan deserved to be beaten. No wonder he said he was teaching her a lesson. He really needed to be taught a lesson!
This kid is really reckless. He dared to drug Shen Ziyu without even knowing her identity.
If this gets out, and someone reports it to the imperial court, Prince Ning will likely be implicated as well.
Marquis Ping Le, that's a marquis.
The Prince Ning's mansion cannot bear the charge of murdering a marquis.
Yun Yue took a few deep breaths, then exhaled heavily: "Qing Yan, you're my son, we only just recognized each other today, and you're already trying to drag me down with you?"
Cheng Qingyan was puzzled. She had never thought that way, and she knew nothing about it.
Yun Yue calmed her breathing and asked again, "Do you know who A Yu is?"
Cheng Qingyan shook his head, and Ye Lingyu remained silent.
"She is the Marquis of Pingle, the Marquis of Pingle who brought peace and stability to the country. Almost all of her family members have died out, leaving only the old, weak, sick and disabled Marquis of Pingle's mansion."
“I didn’t hit you hard enough just now. It’s okay if you drug other people, or even give me some, but not A-Yu.”
"Now, of the Marquis's mansion, she is the only one left among the direct and collateral branches."
"After returning from the battlefield, the Emperor forbade her from going to the border again. The roots of the Marquis's family cannot be severed."
The more Yun Yue spoke, the lower Cheng Qingyan's head drooped, and he even wanted to lie down on the ground.
Mingming just wanted to drug Shen Ziyu until she was unconscious, then beat her up, since she couldn't beat Shen Ziyu when she was sober!
Unexpectedly, the Marquis of Pingle's life story was so full of hardship that he could not withstand such a joke.
That's too dangerous and too disrespectful.
Ruan Banxia knew that her identity was not simple, but she did not know that this complexity was so heavy.
She carries too much on her shoulders.
The sleeping pills used on Shen Ziyu were several times more potent than ordinary sleeping pills. So, Shen Ziyu, who had never been able to sleep soundly before, actually fell asleep this time partly because she was too tired.
She was so tired, and the medication helped her relax. Once she relaxed, she was overwhelmed by fatigue.
Therefore, the effects of the medication took longer for her than for a normal person, and she was able to remain conscious at the last moment and say a few words to Cheng Qingyan.
Ruan Banxia stood up and bowed to Yun Yue: "Auntie, I'm sorry, I was also involved in drugging Shen Ziyu."
“Brother Cheng cannot bear this crime alone; we only gave her a little sleeping potion.”
"The tension she had been holding in for so long snapped under the influence of the medicine."
"She is currently in a deep sleep, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, she will wake up naturally once she has had enough sleep."
"Of course, if you want her to wake up now, I can give her acupuncture to forcibly wake her up."
Hearing Ruan Banxia's explanation, Yun Yue felt a little relieved.
No problem is the best answer.
But now, she's also wondering whether she should wake Shen Ziyu up.
Having been through many battles, Shen Ziyu was unusually wary, making it impossible for her to sleep soundly even at home.
The long journey, the back-and-forth travel, and the lack of sleep have made me look quite haggard and I've lost several pounds.
