Chapter 230 I have indeed admired the eldest lady for a long time
Wei Lingze's current skills were not as good as Xiao Yechen's, and with the effect of the medicine in his body taking effect, he quickly fell into a disadvantage and was kicked away by Xiao Yechen, who snatched Xiao Qinghe away.
After seriously injuring several guards of the Wei family, Xiao Yechen jumped onto the wall with Xiao Qinghe in his arms and disappeared into the night.
Yun was the first to get the news and rushed over.
Seeing that Wei Lingze was sweating all over and had reached his limit, he quickly asked someone to help him back to the house and feed him the antidote.
This medicine is very strong, and even if you take the antidote, it will take a while to completely eliminate its effects.
Yun had someone bring cold water for Wei Lingze to soak in. She felt distressed and angry: "What are the guards in the mansion doing? How could they let the assassin in and kidnap He'er?"
If it were any other time, it would be fine, but tonight He'er had been drugged. If something happened between her and the assassin, where would the Wei family's reputation be? How would they explain to the Xiao family?
The key point is that if we look for someone in a high-profile manner at this time, this matter will be known to everyone tomorrow.
What should I do?
Even though the Yun family had seen many storms and waves, they were still a little at a loss at this time.
The shock of the cold water helped Wei Lingze regain some of his sanity. He said to Yun in a hoarse voice, "The assassin might be from the Xiao family. Mother told us not to make it public and wait and see what happens."
Yun's eyelids twitched, and she asked anxiously, "What do you mean the assassin is from the Xiao family? Could it be that the Xiao family doesn't trust us and has been sending people to monitor us?"
Yun was both angry and guilty.
If the assassin was from the Xiao family, then He'er's innocence would be preserved, but the Xiao family would also know that she had drugged He'er, and the grievances He'er had suffered in the Wei family these days would no longer be concealed.
Wei Lingze didn't have the energy to explain too much to Yun at the moment, so he just said solemnly, "I'm just saying there's a possibility. Mother, you should keep those servants in the mansion under control first."
After saying this, Wei Lingze closed his eyes and said no more.
Yun knew that she had done something wrong with good intentions, so she didn't dare say anything more and turned around to block the news.
at the same time.
Xiao Yechen strode into the Xiao family holding Xiao Qinghe.
The servant on duty saw that Xiao Yechen was covered in blood and his face looked cold and murderous, as if he wanted to eat someone. He knew something was wrong and quickly ran to the main courtyard to inform them.
It was inconvenient for Xiao Yechen to enter the backyard, so he could only carry Xiao Qinghe to his room first.
Xiao Qinghe had long since lost her mind due to the effects of the drug. She twisted her body restlessly and groaned in pain, like a drowning person desperately trying to cling to Xiao Yechen.
But tears kept falling from her eyes, and she did not do these things voluntarily.
Xiao Yechen put her on the bed, took out a pill from his arms and fed it to her, only then he discovered that she had bitten her lip at some point.
"Wei Lingze...you really...make me sick!"
Xiao Qinghe said this with difficulty and was about to bite her tongue, so Xiao Yechen quickly stuffed his hand into her mouth.
Xiao Qinghe used all her strength and bit Xiao Yechen's palm. Bright red blood flowed out from the corner of Xiao Qinghe's lips, but Xiao Yechen was unaware of it and did not move at all, but there was murderous intent in his eyes.
If it wasn't for taking the eldest lady away, he would really kill Wei Lingze.
Mrs. Xiao and Father Xiao had just gone to bed. When they heard the servant's report, they immediately put on their clothes and rushed over. As soon as they entered the room, they saw this scene.
Madam Xiao's eyelids twitched, and she immediately had the news blocked. Father Xiao quickly walked up to the two of them and said solemnly, "Chen'er, what's going on?"
Xiao Yechen said coldly: "The eldest lady has been poisoned. I just gave her the antidote. I will apologize to the master and the mistress after the effect of the drug wears off."
Madam Xiao walked quickly to the bedside and saw Xiao Qinghe's face flushed and his whole body burning hot, as if he had just been pulled out of the water. Her eyes immediately turned red and she asked anxiously, "Who on earth could have given He'er such a vicious drug?"
Xiao Yechen lowered his eyes to hide the murderous intent in them, and said solemnly, "I don't know who drugged her. When I arrived, Wei Lingze was about to seize the opportunity to force the young lady. I couldn't bear to see her being humiliated, so I injured the Wei family's guards and took the young lady home."
Such a short conversation contained so much information that Mrs. Xiao did not dare to ask any further questions.
After about an incense stick of time, Xiao Qinghe finally let go and fell asleep. Xiao Yechen withdrew his hand, stood up and said, "This medicine is very strong. The young lady may have a fever in the middle of the night. Someone needs to watch over her and help her reduce the fever."
Mrs. Xiao immediately took Xiao Qinghe back to the courtyard where she lived before she got married.
As soon as they left, Xiao Yechen immediately knelt before Father Xiao: "I have overstepped the boundaries tonight and offended the young lady. I will have you kill me or chop me up, it's all at your disposal!"
Xiao Yechen lowered his head, not daring to look into his father's eyes. His hand hanging by his side was still dripping with blood.
Xiao Qinghe's clothes were torn, and what she was wearing just now was Xiao Yechen's outer garment.
In the middle of the night, Xiao Yechen appeared at the Wei family, injured someone from the Wei family, and brought Xiao Qinghe back to the Xiao family. Even though nothing happened between the two, everyone could see what Xiao Yechen was thinking.
Once it gets out, Xiao Qinghe's reputation will be ruined.
Father Xiao looked at Xiao Yechen seriously, and after a while he said, "Did you just show up at the Wei family tonight, or do you go there every night to spy on them?"
"Please understand, Master. I would never dare to pry into the young lady's life. She asked me to investigate some things about Wei Lingze not long ago. I happened to find some clues. I was worried that the young lady might get hurt, so I wanted to go to the Wei family to remind her to be more cautious. I didn't expect to encounter something like this."
Xiao Yechen answered quickly, his back straight and his tone firm.
Father Xiao's expression didn't soften at all, and he continued, "Do you have bad intentions towards He'er?"
Although it was a question, Xiao's father's tone was very firm.
Xiao Yechen clenched his fists, breathing heavier, but he still answered truthfully, "Yes, I have secretly admired the young lady for a long time, but I know that our social status is far different, so I dare not expect anything else. I have never approached the young lady privately, let alone revealed anything in front of her. If what happened tonight would damage her reputation, I will end it now."
Xiao Yechen took out a dagger and was about to slit his throat when his father stopped him: "Wait."
Although Father Xiao spoke quickly, a small cut was still made on Xiao Yechen's neck, which proved that he was not acting and was really willing to die for Xiao Qinghe.
Father Xiao sighed secretly and asked, "You just said that He'er asked you to investigate Wei Lingze. How did you investigate and what did you find out?"
Xiao Yechen didn't put down the dagger and told him everything he had found out recently. Finally, he said, "I am currently helping His Royal Highness the Crown Prince run Wuyou Pavilion. The people in the pavilion are all His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's spies, so it is not difficult to investigate Wei Lingze's affairs."
Father Xiao: "..."
The backer behind Wuyou Pavilion is actually His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?
