The figure drew closer and closer, even reaching out to lift the bed curtains. Lu Baichuan sprang up with a swift movement, a flash of cold light, and his long sword was pressed against Wei Yu's slender neck.
Wei Yu was really surprised that Lu Baichuan was still sober. She knew that Lu Baichuan was no ordinary person, so she specially prepared some strong information, but it still didn't work.
She was only focused on getting things done and didn't carry any weapons. Moreover, her calf was injured, so she had no ability to dodge.
"Third...Third Master, it's me..."
She swallowed hard, her hands trembling slightly, but she still kept an eye on Lu Baichuan's reaction.
Seeing that he looked perfectly normal, I knew he really wasn't poisoned and wasn't just putting on a brave face.
Her heart sank to the bottom. How could this be? She was certain there was medicine in the room, because she could already feel her body burning up.
There is no antidote for this medicine. Once someone is poisoned, it takes two people to counteract it. She had planned everything in advance, so why didn't Lu Baichuan take the medicine?
Could it be a problem with my constitution?
"Uncle Ming sent Miss Wei Yu here for this matter, right?"
He smiled, his expression unreadable, but Wei Yu's heart tightened.
"No, no..."
She shook her head, tears welling in her eyes: "Third Master, you know how I feel about you, you know it all. I... I just love you too much..."
Although the Pavilion Master did indeed have this intention, she absolutely could not betray him, otherwise she would lose even this opportunity.
She thought Lu Baichuan would listen to her as before and then explain to her seriously that he had a family. Unexpectedly, Lu Baichuan didn't care about these things at all. He had a bundle of rope in his hand at some point and tied her up.
"There's no need to say those things anymore; save them for explaining to Uncle Ming."
With that, he threw the person out and looked down at her.
Wei Yu was already under the influence of drugs, and even though she was tied up, the toxins in her body continued to spread.
It was freezing cold outside, and Wei Yu was only wearing a thin gauze dress, yet she still felt like she was burning up.
She lay on the ground in agony, writhing and trying to free herself from the ropes, but Lu Baichuan wouldn't even look at her.
He had originally promised his wife that he would act in a play with her, but after only one day, she couldn't hold back anymore. Lu Baichuan was too lazy to beat around the bush, so he simply tied her up and sent her to Mingze, saving his wife the trouble of doing it herself.
His wife was right. He brought this trouble upon himself, so he should deal with it himself. Besides, he's tied up now. He can just throw him in front of Mingze and make Mingze give him an explanation.
At first, he thought Mingze was a rare husband because he treated Jiang Ruoya so well, but he overlooked the man's true nature.
Qianfan Pavilion is one of the top intelligence organizations in Beiyan. The imperial court would come to them for help. How could Mingze, as the founder of Qianfan Pavilion, be a kind person?
He does have a good side, but he has given it all to Jiang Ruoya. As for the rest, he has his own selfish motives.
His wife is Jiang Ruoya's only daughter. Mingze loves Jiang Ruoya, so he naturally treats his wife as his own daughter. If his wife stays with him, Qianfan Pavilion will have no successor. But if his wife can choose one of his elites to marry into the family, Qianfan Pavilion will have a successor.
All of this was based on the breakdown of their marriage. So, even though he knew Wei Yu's feelings for him, Ming Ze still sent her over, hoping to ruin their relationship so that he could lay the groundwork for his future wife to marry into his family.
He figured all this out on the way here today. Mingze wasn't reluctant to take action against Wei Yu; he was just using Wei Yu as a pawn.
It has to be said, that's quite ruthless.
Previously, seeing how deeply Mingze loved Jiang Ruoya, granting her almost every request, and even protecting her well over the years, they subconsciously thought he was a good person. Now, they're slowly realizing that he's a double-edged sword, with a black heart.
Of course, this was mainly directed at him, but he also extended his affection to his wife.
Lu Baichuan sighed, feeling bitter inside.
Before he came back, his parents wanted to find his wife another husband. Now that he's back, his mother keeps saying things like "If you don't want to work here, then get out." And his nominal father-in-law is also trying to replace him. Is he really that unworthy? That unpresentable?
Thinking of this, his expression grew even colder. He looked at Wei Yu and said, "You brought this on yourself tonight. If you live to see tomorrow morning, I will take you to the capital and personally send you back. If you unfortunately die, I will also notify Uncle Ming to send someone to collect your body."
After saying that, he slammed the door shut and locked it.
In this freezing weather, if you're poisoned and then left out in the cold all night, you'll be half dead, if not dead.
Having been lying low for many years, he was never a kind person. He had never expected her to be able to enter his home and drug him, so he had always kept his distance. But this time she had directly crossed his bottom line, so there was nothing more to say.
As for Mingze, he also needs to go there. At least he needs to make his stance clear and let Mingze know that he is not someone to be trifled with.
Wei Yu never imagined he would be so cruel to her. She had thought that even if he wasn't poisoned, he would at least show some mercy because she was poisoned.
To her utter dismay, Lu Baichuan simply abandoned her, leaving her feeling utterly helpless.
The wind outside was biting cold, and it felt like there was a fire burning inside her body. She felt bloated and as if she could explode and die at any moment.
A rope was also tied around her mouth, so she couldn't even shout directly; she could only make sounds from her throat, hoping that others would find her.
There were still people on night watch at the post station. Hearing the commotion, they immediately came to check and found Wei Yu bound hand and foot and thrown on the ground. Because she had been moving around, her thin gauze dress could no longer cover her body.
The two waiters were stunned; the adult inside seemed to be playing with something very new.
Wei Yu, as the top courtesan of Fengyun Manor, was not bad-looking and had a great figure. Now, because she was under the influence of drugs, she was even more alluring, and the two of them instantly felt their bodies getting hot.
"Save...my nest..."
Her mouth was gagged, making her speech unclear and her pronunciation not standard, but the two waiters could still understand her.
The two men exchanged a glance, both seeing the agitation in each other's eyes, but assuming the woman belonged to Lu Baichuan, they dared not make a move.
Wei Yu was already losing her senses. She didn't care about anything else and crawled towards the two of them, her intentions quite obvious.
The two swallowed hard, nodded, rubbed some oil on Wei Yu, and then carried him away together.
The adults inside must know, but they haven't shown up, which means they've tacitly agreed. And why wouldn't they take advantage of such a good thing that happened to them in the middle of the night?
