Chapter 170 Appearance Exposed
Jiang Guanchen smiled, "If you feel guilty, prepare some generous gifts for my cousin."
Mu Jingxing thought about carefully selecting some good items, "Don't worry, I will prepare a generous gift and come to express my gratitude."
"It's better not to apologize. Otherwise, my cousin was bitten by a poisonous snake and almost lost her life. My family knows about it. Just protect my cousin more in the future."
"Also, my cousin is currently surrounded by only one bodyguard, Ah Si. Can you please select two highly skilled secret guards from the Royal Secret Guard Battalion to protect my cousin? I'm worried that she will be in danger again after returning to the capital."
Danger?
Mu Jingxing thought of the Song residence on Xiangyun Road.
The Song family was of common origin, and they had only one son who had just entered the Imperial College.
The Song family couldn't possibly have the ability to get a poisonous snake to kill Miss Song. Once the matter was exposed, Song Rui's career would be over.
"Do you have any suspects?"
Jiang Guanchen looked at Mu Jingxing. This matter involved his uncle's family background. If he didn't tell anyone, the prince would send someone to protect his cousin sooner or later.
"I suspect it was Mr. Wu, the councilor of the Ministry of Civil Affairs."
Mu Jingxing was surprised, "Wu Lingheng? He's your uncle's enemy?"
"It might be a family member. Mingyue Tower sold peony fruit cake three years ago, but my father and I didn't see Madam Wu at that time. If Madam Wu's last name is Song, then the person who released the poisonous snake must have been arranged by Wu Lingheng. When I return to the city and confirm with my father, I'll know if Madam Wu's last name is Song."
Mu Jingxing frowned, "If Wu Lingheng is your uncle's brother-in-law, the two families are still relatives after all. No matter how big the grudge is, it wouldn't be enough to kill someone."
Jiang Guanchen said, "I don't know yet, it's just a guess. I also ask my brother to pick two top-notch guards to protect my cousin. The last time we went to the Nine-Storied Tower, we encountered startled horses and flower pots hitting people. It's very likely that they were targeting my uncle and his family of three."
"Master." Xiao Fei rushed over. "We found footprints deep in the bushes on the top of the mountain. The footprints led to the deep pool behind the waterfall and then disappeared."
Mu Jingxing and Jiang Guanchen quickly brought people to the deep pool.
"Brother, I have arranged for someone to go down, and there will be results soon."
After waiting for half an incense stick of time, a guard swam up from the bottom of the pool.
"Prince, Princess, there's a hidden river beneath the pond that leads to the villa ten miles away. I've seen no one on the shore. It will take a quarter of an hour to swim out from here."
Mu Chuqing said: "Brother, our Fengquan Villa is really a loophole. This place must be blocked!"
Xiao Fei said, "Princess, if this is blocked, the water will become stagnant. The flowers and plants in our farm still need fresh water to irrigate them."
"Then arrange for someone to guard it temporarily, brother, what do you think?"
Mu Jingxing nodded: "Leave the rest to me, you go and see Miss Song."
When Mu Chuqing arrived at Huiya Pavilion, Aunt Qiao came into the main hall carrying a bowl of bird's nest from the small kitchen.
"Sister Princess, have you caught the suspect?"
Mu Chuqing shook her head, "Is Sister Yu awake now?"
"My cousin hasn't woken up yet. Mother and I are waiting here for her to wake up and have dinner together."
Mu Chuqing glanced at the side dishes on the table and said, "Yanhong, bring my dinner over here as well."
Mu Chuqing went into the inner room and took a look. Seeing Song Yu coming out with even breathing, she whispered, "Madam Jiang, this happened because we failed to take good care of her. My brother and I will definitely come to your house with generous gifts to apologize."
"Princess Qingyang, this was all an accident. Don't take it to heart. Fortunately, no one is hurt. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to explain to my parents and my sister-in-law when I go back."
"Don't worry, Madam Jiang. We have already arranged a large number of personnel to defend Huiya Pavilion. The villa is now under martial law, so no more accidents will happen. Let Sister Yu recover before returning to the city, so that Elder Jiang won't have to worry."
At this time, Nanny Xiu also came to Huiya Pavilion, followed by a maid holding a bowl of health-preserving porridge.
"Madam Jiang, the old lady has arranged for an old servant to bring some nourishing porridge. I hope Miss Song will take good care of herself and get better soon."
"I'm sorry to have worried you, old lady. My sister Yu is fine now. She'll be almost well after a night's sleep tomorrow."
In the room, Song Yu looked painful, with cold sweat on his forehead.
Bai Lan was so scared that she quickly took a handkerchief to wipe Song Yu.
The next second, Song Yu opened his eyes, "Lan'er, I'm so cold, bring me a blanket quickly."
"Miss, don't scare me." Bai Lan quickly took out a quilt from the cabinet and covered Song Yu with it.
Feng Yingying, Mu Chuqing and others rushed in after hearing the noise.
"Sister Yu, what's wrong with you?"
Feng Yingying quickly rushed forward and touched Song Yu's forehead, "Why is it so cold?"
"Cold, so cold."
At this time, Song Yu's lips were pale and his hair was wet. Mu Chuqing and Jiang Shiyun were very worried.
"Sister Yu, please don't scare your aunt. Hasn't the poisonous blood been expelled? You can't be in any trouble!"
"I'm cold..."
"Go and get Doctor Lu."
Mu Chuqing took another quilt from the cabinet and covered Song Yu with it.
"Sister Yu, are you feeling warmer now?"
"It hurts!" Song Yu covered his stomach and tossed and turned in the quilt. "It hurts! My stomach hurts, my back hurts, my knees hurt, my thighs hurt, my whole body hurts! I'm suffering from the snake venom. I'm not going to survive!"
Song Yu gritted her teeth tightly. She was unwilling to die in such pain. She had not yet taken revenge!
Her parents will be sad if she is gone...
"Lan'er, hurry up and get me a detoxification pill!"
Feng Yingying looked at Song Yu in unbearable pain and was so scared that her mind went blank.
Hasn’t the snake venom been removed?
Why is it happening again?!
"Miss, open your mouth."
As soon as Song Yu opened his mouth, his stomach churned and he couldn't help vomiting onto Bai Lan.
What followed was half an hour of vomiting, and everyone was frightened and at a loss.
At this time, the mask on Song Yu's face fell off and fell under the bed.
Song Yu wanted to grab it, but she didn't have the strength. The pain all over her body didn't allow her to do so, and her stomach kept churning.
Feng Yingying kept patting Song Yu's back, her tone anxious, "Why hasn't Doctor Lu come yet? Someone's going to die!"
Jiang Shiyun was frightened and cried, "Woo... Cousin, please don't scare me. The poison has been detoxified, you can't die!"
Mu Chuqing panicked when he saw this. How could this happen?
How can the snake venom still take effect if the poisonous blood has been discharged?
Nanny Qiao thought of something and hurried forward to take a look at the bedding.
Sure enough, I saw a large pool of blood.
"Here he comes, here he comes, Doctor Lu is here." Jinxiu hurriedly pulled them in one after another.
Aunt Qiao pushed Lu Lu out and said, "It's okay, Doctor Lu. Miss Song will be fine after she vomits."
Afterwards: ???
Jinxiu was anxious and angry: "What do you mean it's okay? My cousin is vomiting like crazy! Aunt Qiao, please get out of the way and let Doctor Lu in!"
Nanny Qiao hurriedly whispered something in Jinxiu's ear.
Jinxiu widened her eyes, turned around and pulled them out of Huiya Pavilion.
Jiang Guanchen and Mu Jingxing rushed over, but were also stopped outside by Jinxiu.
"Luxu, what's going on?"
"I don't know either. Miss Song was vomiting so much that she was almost fainting. They wouldn't let me in, saying she'd be fine once she finished vomiting."
"Aunt Jinxiu, is my cousin really okay?"
"Don't worry, young master. Miss Cousin is absolutely fine. Please come to Huiya Pavilion again tomorrow."
In the room, Feng Yingying heard what Aunt Qiao said, glanced at the bedding, and felt relieved. "Quick, go and make some brown sugar and ginger water."
Mu Chuqing, who was still in a panic, finally understood what was going on after hearing this.
"Sister Yu, is this your first time in your life?"
Song Yu's hair was disheveled, and he was sweating profusely. He lay on the bed, staring at the spittoon, and said weakly, "Yes, this is the first time in my life that I've been bitten by a poisonous snake. The poison hasn't taken effect yet and I'm still breathing. I can't die yet. Lan'er, please give me the life-extending pill."
"No need to eat, you won't die." Mu Chuqing's heart finally settled down. It was really a false alarm. "Yanhong, go to my room and get some things. Bring a few more for Sister Yu to change into."
After he finished speaking, Song Yu vomited violently again. After vomiting, he curled up on the edge of the bed and moaned softly.
"Sister Yu?"
"I... am fine. Lying down... I feel much better."
Bai Lan was blocked by Feng Yingying and couldn't squeeze forward, so she couldn't pick up the mask under the bed.
If the lady turns over, her true appearance will be exposed.
what to do? !
Nanny Qiao looked at Song Yu lying weakly on the bed. The painful groans sounded so much like the sound of her wife when she was sick.
It must be an illusion!
Her eyes couldn't help but fall on Song Yu's pair of beautiful Buddha ears. She thought that her ears looked like her master's, which made her feel uncomfortable and her moans sounded like her lady's.
A moment later, Aunt Xiu came in with brown sugar ginger water.
Bai Lan quickly took it and said, "Madam Jiang, please let this servant feed my young lady."
Feng Yingying turned aside and left.
"Miss, come and drink some brown sugar water."
Song Yu seemed to have forgotten that his mask had fallen off. He reached out to take the brown sugar water and drank it.
Bai Lan quickly stood up to block everyone's sight. The young lady was feeling uncomfortable and forgot to cover her face.
Because the big bowl was blocking their faces and was still steaming, Feng Yingying and others might not have been able to see it clearly.
Aunt Qiao widened her eyes, a look of disbelief on her face.
Song Yu drank most of the drink and suddenly turned his back to everyone.
Oh no!
They won’t see her true face!
You probably didn't see it clearly, the big bowl covered at least half of it.
After drinking, Song Yu quickly got into bed.
"Sister Yu, how are you? Does it still hurt?"
"It's better now, it doesn't hurt anymore."
Song Yu now knew what was happening to him and took his own pulse.
Oh my god, she was bitten by a poisonous snake early! ! ! !
Jiang Shiyun was still confused. "Cousin, are you sure it's not snake venom?"
"It's not an attack, it's detoxification."
"Princess, I have brought it."
Mu Chuqing took one and walked to the bed with a smile, "Sister Yu, come, I'll take you to change it, otherwise there will be a river of blood."
"What's the bloody river?"
"Let's go, Yun'er, let's go wait outside."
Feng Yingying quickly pulled Jiang Shiyun away.
"Mother, what does Princess Sister mean by that?"
Feng Yingying whispered a few words into his ear.
ah?
Jiang Shiyun realized it belatedly, "This...this is too scary...I don't want this, I want to be ten years old forever!"
"Okay, okay, you'll always be ten."
"Mother, the wound on my cousin's face seems to have healed. There's a red spot at the corner of her eye, but I couldn't see it clearly."
Feng Yingying nodded: "I saw it too. There's a red spot at the corner of her eye. I wonder if it was scratched by Snowball. Sister Yu is hiding it from us. There should still be some scars. Your cousin can only show it to us after it's completely gone."
"My cousin is really something. We are her family, and we won't feel disgusted or laugh at her after seeing this."
"That's your face, it's very important. If your face is injured, would you be willing to let others see your scarred face?"
"No."
"Madam." Nanny Qiao returned to Du Ye's courtyard.
Du Ye saw that Aunt Qiao looked strange, "What's wrong? Did something happen to Miss Yu?"
"Miss Song is fine. She just had her period. It was her first time. We thought it was snake venom acting up. It was a false alarm."
"He's only thirteen years old. Isn't it a little early?"
Aunt Qiao said, "It might be related to a venomous snake bite. It's almost time for her to come. That... Miss Song..."
Du Ye frowned, "Why are you still stuttering? Just say what you want to say."
"I saw Miss Song's true face. She looks like our Marquis' wife."
