Chapter 361 Who is that person?
Yang Lie walked in quickly and saw Xiao Jinxuan sitting on the armchair, with his head slightly lowered, his fingertips seemingly stroking a Pisces jade pendant.
Such a noble and self-respecting man, but at this moment, he makes people feel indescribable loneliness.
He paused, stepped forward and saluted, "Your Highness Prince Xuan."
Xiao Jinxuan put away the jade pendant and looked up at him. "Is everything done?"
"Well, it's almost done. After taking the medicine, everyone has shown significant improvement. It looks like the rashes on their bodies will be completely gone by daybreak."
Hearing this, Xiao Jinxuan nodded slightly and explained the purpose of calling him over, "Have you paid close attention to the man who fought with Ling Feng today?"
"Yeah." Yang Lie nodded. He felt a little depressed when this was mentioned.
The man injured Zhao Yi, and he wanted to hold him accountable, but Song Yuqiu said that Zhao Yi deserved it and that he was her savior, and if anyone dared to touch him, she would fight him to the death.
Later, when Song Yuqiu was boiling medicine, the man blocked the door and refused to let anyone enter the backyard. The guards of Changxing Marquis' Mansion were helpless against him.
Xiao Jinxuan lowered his eyes, "Maybe it's a good thing that Song Yuqiu doesn't let you touch him."
"Good news?" Yang Lie was puzzled.
"This man has a sinister personality and extraordinary martial arts skills. Even Ling Feng is no match for him."
If he really wanted to take the other party down by force at that time, he would be the only one who would suffer.
Yang Lie's expression froze, "Who is that person?"
Yes, Xiao Jinxuan also wanted to know who that person was.
Why does a face I have never seen before feel so familiar to me?
"Don't you think that the epidemic is too strange?"
Once an epidemic breaks out, it will definitely affect many people, and perhaps the whole city will be infected.
But now, it is confined to the small Changxing Marquis Mansion.
Furthermore, Song Yuqiu responded quickly and immediately contacted the herbal medicine merchants to purchase the herbs. Within just one day, everyone was cured.
The epidemic came quickly and went away even faster, so quickly that it made people doubt whether it really existed.
"You mean, someone is behind this?" Yang Lie thought for a moment, then suddenly raised his head, "It was Song Yuqiu!"
She had been at odds with Zhao Yi and the people in charge at home since the first day she arrived in Nanyang, and had a motive for committing the crime.
And although she is young, she has learned a set of strange medical skills from somewhere, which can easily infect everyone with the "epidemic" overnight. This can also explain why she was able to come up with a prescription for treatment in the first time.
"But Song Yuqiu doesn't have that brains." Xiao Jinxuan did not deny Yang Lie's speculations, but pointed out the most critical loophole.
When in the capital, Song Yuqiu followed An Ning around all day long, and he got to know her quite well.
That girl has great medical skills, but she is completely clueless about those complicated schemes, otherwise she wouldn't have found herself in desperate situations so many times.
If it weren't for Aning, she would have died countless times.
Therefore, in today's game, either she is just a chess piece being manipulated by others, or there must be an expert behind her directing her.
Yang Lie immediately understood what Xiao Jinxuan meant. "You mean, what happened today was most likely manipulated by the man who fought with Ling Feng? What was his purpose?"
Let many people get sick and then cure them, in the end just to deal with Zhao Yi?
Xiao Jinxuan tapped the edge of the table with his slender knuckles, and his eyebrows wrinkled slightly, like the bright moon stained with mist. "If you want to know his purpose, you must first know where he came from."
"Let me ask Wen Yan." Yang Lie immediately sent someone to call Wen Yan over.
He has been staying in Nanyang, so he should know something about it.
Soon, Wen Yan hurried over, bowed to Yang Lie, and then asked impatiently, "My Lord, how was my sister's wedding banquet? Was it particularly lively? She must be very happy to marry His Royal Highness Prince Xuan? Did she... ask you to bring me any message?"
When he spoke the last words, he was cautious and hopeful.
He didn't dare to ask because the situation in the mansion was critical just now, but now that everything was fine, he dared to ask what was on his mind.
Yang Lie subconsciously looked at Xiao Jinxuan beside him and opened his mouth, not knowing how to start talking.
Nanyang is too far away from the capital, and the news has not yet reached us.
Wen Yan might not know yet that the girl His Royal Highness Prince Xuan married was just Miss Xie's tablet.
When Xiao Jinxuan heard these words, his heart suddenly tightened, as if someone was strangling him with wire.
“Crack—”
The porcelain cup in his hand was unconsciously crushed into pieces, and his palm was pierced with a bright red mark.
"You're bleeding!" Yang Lie was so scared that he stood up quickly.
Xiao Jinxuan came back to his senses, took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands lightly, "It's okay."
Wen Yan was also shocked by this situation. Although he did not recognize Xiao Jinxuan in disguise, he vaguely noticed that Yang Lie was very respectful to the man next to him, and the atmosphere between the two was a little strange.
He was about to ask if something happened to his elder sister, but Yang Lie changed the subject and asked him, "Wen Yan, do you know who those people around the Madam are?"
Hearing the question, Wen Yan put aside his doubts and answered seriously, "Madam came back after she disappeared for a few days, and there were a few more people around her. She said that the couple were merchants from Yuezhou, and they happened to save her. The merchant's wife was seriously ill, and in order to repay her kindness, Madam brought them back to the mansion to treat her. Oh, by the way, there was also a servant driving the car with them. He was taciturn and a martial artist."
Generally, wealthy families would hire a few experts to protect them, so he didn't take it seriously at the time.
The more Yang Lie listened, the more confused he became. "What do you mean by missing for a few days? Why have I never received any news about Song Yuqiu's disappearance?"
Wen Yan paused, "Zhao Yi concealed the matter on the grounds that his wife was out having fun."
Even when he finally returned, he was stopped outside the city gate by Zhao Yi.
If it weren't for herself, Song Yuqiu might not even be able to return home.
Yang Lie couldn't believe what he heard, and said subconsciously, "It's impossible, Zhao Yi is not that kind of person!"
Wen Yan sighed, "Lord Hou, you may not believe what I say, but what kind of person Zhao Yi is, haven't you seen it with your own eyes today?"
It was clearly she who asked someone to change the prescription without authorization, but when something went wrong, she turned around and put all the blame on her wife.
Not to mention that during the process, he repeatedly raised doubts and instigated people to hate his wife.
His evil intentions are evident from this.
Yang Lie was stunned, and obviously thought of all this. For a moment, he felt mixed emotions and couldn't tell what he felt.
He originally thought that Song Yuqiu and Zhao Yi were just incompatible because of their incompatibility in personality.
But I didn't expect that this overt and covert action had reached the point of wanting to kill the other party.
Let’s not talk about the epidemic this time, just talking about the disappearance, no matter how playful Song Yuqiu was, he wouldn’t disappear quietly for several days.
She said those people were her saviors, which shows that she must have encountered something that endangered her life during the process.
However, Zhao Yi did not take it seriously at all. He even suppressed the news and did not even send anyone to look for it.
Yang Lie didn't even dare to think about what would have happened if Song Yuqiu hadn't been rescued.
Xiao Jinxuan said in a cold voice, "If you want to know who those people are and what happened, it would be better to ask them themselves."
No matter what, Yang Lie and Song Yuqiu are husband and wife in name only, so it's not excessive for them to care about each other, right?
