The girl who Zhou Renjiang thought was as beautiful as a fairy a moment ago has now become a demon in his eyes.
But if he were to speak, would the Duke of Dingguo spare him?
Su Ruojin seemed to see his hesitation: "If you speak, you still have a chance to live; if you don't speak, you die now. The choice is yours."
Zhou Renjiang's body became increasingly itchy, and he couldn't resist scratching it.
It would have been better if he hadn't scratched; the more he scratched, the itchier it became. The poisoned hand was already scratched raw and bloody, with black blood flowing from every scratch, dripping onto the ground and emitting a foul stench.
Seeing this, Zhou Renjiang became anxious and hurriedly said, "I'll talk, I'll talk. The old lady is locked in a secret room under the rockery in the villa. The higher-ups ordered that she not be touched. The old lady has not been harmed."
Having gotten what she wanted, Su Ruojin got up and started to leave.
Zhou Renjiang cried out, "Girl, my poison!"
Su Ruojin turned around and smiled slightly: "I had completely forgotten about it if you hadn't mentioned it."
She walked up to Zhou Renjiang and put another pill in his mouth: "If you take this pill, the poison in your arm will be cured."
Sure enough, Zhou Renjiang saw the purplish-black color on his arm gradually fading away, and he breathed a sigh of relief. He rolled his eyes and was about to call for help when he realized that he could no longer speak.
This time, he couldn't speak, and he couldn't move his body at all, collapsing straight to the ground.
Zhou Renjiang could only glare fiercely at Su Ruojin, as if questioning her for breaking her promise.
Su Ruojin gave a cold smile: "Zhou Renjiang, I said I would detoxify you. Wasn't the poison in your arm detoxified? But I'm in a bad mood right now, so I don't plan to let you go."
Then she shoved Zhou Renjiang under the bed.
Once everything was ready, Su Ruojin clapped her hands and looked under the bed, saying, "I'm not lying to you. In the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea, you will suffer the torment of being devoured by ants, and your internal organs will rot away little by little within five days. By the way, there is no antidote for this poison. You'd better pray that someone finds you soon and kills you so that you can be freed from this torment."
How could Su Ruojin possibly let go of a devil who has harmed so many girls!
She wanted him to stay conscious and suffer the pain of the poison alone, where no one could find him, in order to vent her hatred.
What can the Duke of Dingguo's cousin do?
Jiang Qi'an might be constrained by his family background and unable to take action against the Duke of Dingguo's people, but I don't have such concerns.
This is also one of the reasons why Su Ruojin insisted on pretending to be a peasant girl when she heard that Zhou Renjiang had harmed young girls.
Those who commit evil deeds will surely be punished.
If Jiang Qi'an can't make a move, then she will.
Zhou Renjiang couldn't make a sound. He could only stare at the bottom of the bed in the darkness, his eyes bloodshot, enduring the pain of insects crawling and biting him.
He was glad he hadn't revealed how to open the secret passage. If that little bitch were to find it, she might accidentally trigger the mechanism, and then she wouldn't be able to escape even if she had wings.
Zhou Renjiang refused to believe that the poison couldn't be cured. He was certain that if he were discovered by the people in the manor, his cousin would be able to get the imperial physicians from the palace to cure him. At that time, he would make this woman wish she were dead!
After dealing with Zhou Renjiang, Su Ruojin gently opened the door and went out.
Perhaps Zhou Renjiang didn't like being disturbed when she was doing her business, and the fact that there was no one outside made it convenient for her to carry out her work.
Nodding slightly towards the shadows, Su Ruojin carefully avoided the guards of the villa and walked towards the artificial hill.
As they approached the artificial hill, two guards walked towards them, and Su Ruojin slipped behind a pillar to hide.
"Zeng Shen has made a fortune this time."
"Yes, today he brought a stunning beauty to Steward Zhou, and Steward Zhou rewarded him with two hundred taels of silver."
"Sigh, why can't I have such good luck?"
"That's right. I heard it was Niu Dajun who brought the message to Zeng Shen. Let's treat Niu Dajun to a drink tomorrow and ask him to let us know if he has any good news like this in the future."
"OK."
The two guards chatted as they walked away. Su Ruojin came out and looked at their backs thoughtfully.
However, the most urgent task is to rescue the grandmother; everything else can wait.
