Chapter 474: One Pill for Each Person
"Yang Xu!" Bai Lan scolded, "My young lady is a sixth-rank noble lady appointed by the Emperor. Please be respectful to my young lady, otherwise...!"
Du Zhihuan raised her hand to interrupt Bai Lan, "It's okay, he's just a prisoner. Chunhua, come in and fix him."
When Yang Xu was attacked, he saw Du Zhihuan pull out a dagger from his sleeve and shouted anxiously, "What are you doing?"
Du Zhihuan pinched his chin, "Don't do anything. Just answer whatever I ask and you won't suffer any physical pain. Otherwise, I'll cut your face. I'm not good at fighting, so I won't use any degree of control. It will hurt a lot."
Huanhuan isn't serious about acting, right?
"Please hold the knife away. I'm afraid of the pain. I will tell you the truth."
Du Zhihuan let him go and took away the dagger. "Is it true that you gave Du Zhihuan the medicine that would make her obedient?"
"Of course it's true."
"Give me the prescription. I want to verify for myself whether it's true or not."
Why did Huanhuan bring this up?
Yang Xu looked at the eagerness in Du Zhihuan's eyes and quickly understood.
Huanhuan was worried that Song Yu would escape alive.
Huanhuan, are you preparing for the worst?
"There's another one in the secret compartment under the bed in the inner room of my residence. You can send someone to get it."
"Lan'er, let Ah Qi go find it. You go get some chili water. If he tells a lie, give it to him."
Bai Lan smiled and said, "Good idea, I promise to make the hottest chili water."
Bai Lan left the room, and Du Zhihuan hurriedly lowered her voice, "Tell me quickly what herbs are there, and what are the ingredients for the antidote."
Yang Xu quickly repeated the prescription and antidote.
Du Zhihuan caught a glimpse of Nuanyu's shadow approaching from the corner of her eye. "You'd better not play tricks, or you'll suffer!"
"Once you get the medicine back, you can find someone to try it on. If it proves to be effective, I'll tell you the truth. Don't make things difficult for Huanhuan."
"Don't worry about that. You should worry about yourself. Grandmother said that she would escort you to Song Mingzhu and let her deal with you personally. Nuanyu, you stay with him. Chunhua, come with me to the medicinal fields."
"Yes, miss."
Du Zhihuan went to the medicinal field and took a look around. She felt extremely fortunate. Although she had no medical skills or pulse diagnosis skills, she knew about medicinal herbs.
It’s a pity that there are fewer medicinal herbs in the medicine field.
Du Zhihuan went to the pharmacy. She seemed to be lucky and found this medicinal ingredient there.
Du Zhihuan recalled Yunque's usual method of brewing medicinal herbs and tried a simple brew first.
Chunhua: "Miss, what medicine are you going to make?"
"Make some pregnancy-nourishing pills for my eldest sister-in-law. My eldest nephew will be born plump and look like my eldest brother, and my grandmother won't have to worry about raising someone else's child without realizing it."
"Don't worry, young lady. It must be the blood of the Du family. I am here to help you."
"No, I want to do it for my sister-in-law myself."
Du Zhihuan hadn't been brewing for long when Ah Qi came back with two small medicine boxes.
Du Zhihuan glanced at the people Du Henian and Du Ye had arranged to guard her outside the courtyard, but did not rush over. She continued to brew the medicinal herbs in her hand.
A quarter of an hour later, he went to Yang Xu with two small medicine boxes.
"Yang Xu, which of these two pills is the one that makes people obey orders?"
Yang Xu said: "The green pill makes people obey."
"What is the effect of the red pill?"
"It's the antidote."
"What antidote?"
Su Beiqing and Du Ye hurried over.
Du Zhihuan pursed her lips slightly. She knew that her mother didn't want to believe that she would harm Song Yu.
Yang Xu said, "Madam, Madam Hou, this green pill is the obedient medicine I secretly fed Huanhuan. The red pill is the antidote. Now that the medicine is here, you can find someone to try it on."
"I'll do it!"
"I'll do it!"
Ah Qi and Du Zhixu spoke at the same time. Du Zhixu was quick to take the green pill from Du Zhihuan and put it directly into his mouth.
"don't want!"
It was too late for Du Ye to shout, as Du Zhixu swallowed the food in front of her.
Du Ye was so anxious that she stepped forward and tried to scratch Du Zhixu's throat, "Hurry up and vomit it out! Can you take what Yang Xu said seriously?!"
If it was poison, her little grandson would be gone.
"Don't worry, old lady. It's not poison. It's just a medicine that makes people obedient. Even if you don't take the antidote in half a month, the effect will resolve itself."
"Why does my son look so stupid?" Du Henian walked into the yard.
At this time, Du Zhixu lowered his head as if he had fallen asleep while standing?
"Song Yu, call him now so he'll remember your voice, and he'll obey whatever you say!"
"Third brother!" Du Zhihuan shouted hurriedly, fearing that her parents would snatch him away first.
Du Zhixu raised his eyes and looked at Du Zhihuan, his eyes expressionless. He replied calmly, "Sister."
"You slapped Daddy."
Du Henian: ...
Seeing Du Zhixu striding towards him with his hand raised, Du Henian flew into a rage, "How dare you!"
"My sister asked me to hit you, Dad, just bear with it."
"Pa!" Du Henian slapped him first.
Du Zhixu gasped in pain and raised his hand to slap Du Henian's face again without knowing the consequences.
"Third brother, that's our father and he can't hit us! Hurry up and admit your mistake to father and ask for forgiveness."
Du Zhixu quickly withdrew his hand and knelt on the ground, "Dad, I was wrong, please forgive me."
The Du family was shocked. Isn't this too obedient?
Seeing that his eyes looked normal, Du Ye thought that he might be pretending. Zhixu must have believed in his heart that Huanhuan was drugged and that was why she came to harm Yujie'er.
"Yujie'er." Du Ye pulled her into the room. "You need to try a few more times to see if Zhixu really listens to you. Don't be fooled by Yang Xu. I'll tell you a few things and ask Zhixu to do them."
"Okay, Grandma."
All the things that Du Ye was trying to test were things that broke Du Zhixu's principles and that he disliked, and Du Zhixu really wanted to do them without any hesitation or reluctance.
Only then did Du Ye believe in the medicine that was so obedient.
Du Zhihuan gave him the antidote and asked him to do it, but Du Zhixu refused and became so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick.
Du Henian: "Mother, do you believe now that Huanhuan won't harm Sister Yu?"
Madam Du Ye glared at him. "Does she really have such intentions? If she doesn't make a move after Sister Yu gets married, I'll believe it. I'm warning you, don't even think about going to Huazhuang to tip off the family, or I'll break your legs and kick you out!"
Du Zhihuan didn't have the heart to watch this scene, so she went back to the pharmacy to continue making pills. She had to make the pills today no matter what!
And make a few more so that the whole family can have one.
Even if Song Yu escaped back, she would not admit it and the whole family would believe what she said.
Song Yu couldn't do anything to her?
At 2:00 PM, Song Mingen, Wen Can and their group arrived at Songjiazhuang.
Tang Tian: "The lanterns are hanging at the door. The young lady has already taken the Mu family carriage north."
Nanny Wen ran out. "Master, the young lady left at six in the afternoon, disguised and hiding in the bottom of the truck. Zhang Feng and the others also covered their faces and wore the uniforms of Mu family servants. We arranged for people to follow them from a distance. If they were discovered, we would send a message back. There is no news now, but the young lady should be fine. She may be arriving in the capital soon."
"I see."
Song Mingen pulled out a brand new, hollowed-out, floral mask from his bosom and put it on, covering his eyebrows, nose, and ears. "A-chan, tell the brothers in each group to first check the city gate for Xiao Hongyi's men, then head south to find the Mu family's carriage. Don't ride the horse; take the carriage and go straight back to the city to find Wanwan without stopping..."
After Song Mingen gave his instructions, he rode on horseback and took his men to chase after them.
