Chapter 38 Poisoned



The matter of the Renyi Association has come to an end. Although An Yan feels that this matter was not handled cleanly, she plans to go to Wancaotang after lunch.

An Yichen chased downstairs and asked An Yan: "Sister, today should be the day when Li Xuan pays back the money, what should we do?"

"When I come back in the evening, just ask him to wait for me in the cafe downstairs." After saying that, An Yan left.

Li Rongsen was in Wancao Hall, and Madam Li was there too. She asked, "Is An Yan coming today?"

"I made an appointment with her. She said she would come this afternoon." Li Rongsen answered her.

"That's good. I must thank her in person, otherwise it would seem that I am insincere." Mrs. Li nodded and added, "I wonder what clothes she picked that day. I really want to see her in an evening gown. She must be very beautiful."

Li Rongsen said: "Mom, you seem to like her very much."

"That's right, she is my savior, and now she is like my adoptive parent." Mrs. Li said approvingly as she spoke about some great person.

"Mom, are you exaggerating too much?" Li Rongsen really couldn't believe his mother's state. She was always very calm and had never treated anyone like this.

Mrs. Li said, "What do you know?" She moved closer to him and asked, "Look at my eyes, look carefully."

Li Rongsen took a quick look and didn't find anything special, but he felt that her skin looked much better. He said, "What do you want me to see? It looks like her skin is in good condition."

"Lina said that you have changed recently. You are no longer considerate, gentle and lovely." Mrs. Li sighed and said, "I didn't believe it at first, but now I believe it. Why are you becoming more and more straight? You don't understand women's hearts at all."

"What do you mean?" Li Rongsen didn't realize what he had done wrong.

"See? The fine lines under my eyes are gone, and my skin is so much tighter, as if I'm back to my twenties." Madam Li touched her face and said, "It's all because of the ointment Yanyan gave me. I stopped using all those cosmetics and only use this one she made."

Li Rongsen really didn't expect that An Yan could actually make cosmetics.

Mrs. Li continued, "I bought a set of jewelry today specifically for her." She opened it and showed it to Li Rongsen first, and asked him, "What do you think?"

"It's really pretty, but I don't think she'll wear it very often."

"Then what do you think I should give her?" Mrs. Li only thought of giving the most expensive gift, but did not consider the style that would suit her best.

"The simpler one is better." Li Rongsen replied.

"NE brand has a limited edition set of jewelry recently. It's simple and elegant. You can buy it and give it to her for me. You can reimburse me later." Mrs. Li said.

"It just so happens that I have one here." Li Rongsen took it out of the drawer and placed it on the table, and then said, "Sheng Mingjie insisted that I buy a set, and I didn't even know what to use it for. It just happened to come in handy."

"Why don't you give it to Lina?" Mrs. Li asked him.

"She doesn't need it. What she has in excess is jewelry." Li Rongsen had never thought of giving it to her.

"Your relationship with Lina has been average recently. Did something happen, or have you really changed your mind?" Mrs. Li asked him seriously.

"No, I'm just too busy at work."

"Your grandfather has designated a fiancée. Otherwise, you won't be able to inherit the Li family's property, including Wancao Hall." Madam Li had to remind him, but then she said, "Of course, if you can become strong on your own, I don't care who you want to marry. It's your turn to marry a wife."

Li Rongsen just wanted to get rid of this matter, so he worked hard to move forward.

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.

Li Rongsen said quickly: "Please come in."

It was An Yan who walked in. When she saw Madam Li, she greeted her first and said, "Madam Li, you are here too."

"I want to thank you in person. The facial ointment you gave me is so useful. I don't need to use makeup anymore. Can you make me some more, please?" Mrs. Li looked at her expectantly.

An Yan nodded slightly and said, "Okay, no problem, I'll do it in a moment and let Mr. Li bring it back to you."

"Thank you so much." Madam Li picked up the NE brand jewelry box on the table and put it in her hand, saying, "This is specially picked for you. It suits you very well. Don't refuse it."

"I don't wear jewelry." An Yan refused. She felt it was too inconvenient to wear that thing.

But Madam Li insisted, saying, "You must keep it. It's a token of my love for you. When you get used to wearing it, you'll like it."

An Yan didn't say anything, and Mrs. Li left first.

Li Rongsen motioned for An Yan to sit down, and at the same time he took a red sandalwood box from the bookshelf, placed it in front of her, and said, "This is for you."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

An Yan put the jewelry on the table, reached out to take the box, opened it and saw a small purple lotus, which was exactly the snow lotus purple she wanted. She smiled and said, "Finally, my efforts were not in vain."

"Here is the contract, take a look at it. We'll each take half." Li Rongsen pushed another contract over.

An Yan took it and saw that it was the distribution document of the shares of the Renyi Association. Then she heard Li Rongsen say, "This is a private contract. We each get half. This is fair."

"No need, you keep it for yourself. Come back and talk about this matter after you get the shares of those two people." An Yan had no intention of signing. She was only thinking about how to steam the Snow Lotus Purple.

Ancheng's illness can finally be cured.

Li Rongsen reminded her when he saw her leaving: "Take the jewelry away, it's yours."

"I don't need it. I really can't use it." An Yan had no interest in this thing at all.

"This is a gift from my mother." Li Rongsen said as he opened it, took it out and held it in his hand, saying, "It can be matched with any clothes. It suits you very well."

An Yan noticed that Li Rongsen's hand began to turn black, and hurriedly said, "Put it back quickly!"

Li Rongsen was also shocked and quickly put the necklace back into the box, but the black spot on his hand was getting bigger. Fortunately, An Yan had just learned poison from Hua Ye. She took out a golden needle and pierced his acupuncture points, then said, "This is it for now. I'll think of a way later."

"This set of jewelry is poisonous." Li Rongsen really couldn't understand the reason behind it.

"Who bought this? Who did your mother buy it from?" An Yan didn't believe that Mrs. Li would harm her.

"My mother said she wanted to give you a gift, so I bought this set of jewelry from a friend. I put it in the drawer for a few days and didn't touch it." Li Rongsen said.

"Has anyone been to your office?" An Yan asked again.

"It can't be Sheng Mingjie. We have been good friends for many years. He has no reason to harm me." Li Rongsen didn't believe that he did it.

"No matter who did it now, you can investigate it later. I'll go get you some medicine first." An Yan said and walked out of the office.
