Chapter 549 Dead
Zhuge Congfeng asked the people around him to invite the doctor over. Soon the doctor came over and checked the sachet on Qin Huiyin's body. He lifted her arm and sniffed her sleeve, then said, "The girl's clothes have been soaked in potion. It smells light to ordinary people, but it will drive animals crazy."
"What does this potion look like? Is it easy to make?" Zhuge Congfeng asked.
"The original medicinal materials are not very useful. Our clinic here certainly doesn't have them. After all, it's useless to collect them. The person who does this must go to the mountains to collect the herbs himself or send someone to collect them, and then bring them back to boil them into potions. This thing is not difficult. As long as you can collect the medicinal materials, anyone can do it."
After finding out the truth, Zhuge Congfeng paid the consultation fee and left a sum of money to the owner of the wolfhound as compensation for the wolfhound.
Although the wolfhound was the first to injure people, the other party cannot be blamed for this incident. The wolfhound itself is innocent. The real evildoer wanted to deal with Qin Huiyin.
Qin Huiyin felt sorry, so she reached out to Zhuge Congfeng for his purse and paid an extra ingot of silver to the man who was crying as if he had just lost his love.
"I'm sorry for causing you trouble."
Zhuge Congfeng took Qin Huiyin back.
She was attacked twice in one visit to the market. If she continued to visit like this, everyone she saw would look like a murderer who wanted to hurt her. In addition, he was anxious to investigate the matter thoroughly and find out who was behind it.
When they hurried back to Zhuangzi, the housekeeper strode over and told them that the lord wanted to see them. Zhuge Congfeng took Qin Huiyin to Puyang Qiubai's study.
As soon as he reached the door, he heard Puyang Qiubai talking to a woman. Zhuge Congfeng was about to knock on the door, but stopped when he heard the voice.
"My Lord, Huan'er is your biological sister. You have seen her feelings for Master Zhuge. They were originally engaged, and Huan'er was looking forward to marrying Master Zhuge. But Master Zhuge said such hurtful words to her today. Huan'er has suffered a lot over the years. Now she finally has her family to accompany her. As her brother, you cannot ignore her!"
"I'm her elder brother, so of course I won't ignore her. However, marriage is not a joke, and if you really want to be good to Huan'er, you can't marry her to a man who doesn't love her. Congfeng has no interest in her, and she will only be wronged if she marries him. You should persuade Huan'er and don't let her get stuck in a dead end."
"Master Zhuge and Huan'er have just reunited and haven't had time to spend time together. After spending more time together, he will definitely like Huan'er. Just because he doesn't like her now doesn't mean he won't like her in the future, right?"
"Then we can talk about it when she likes it later. There is no need to rush now." Puyang Qiubai said, "You are Huan'er's wet nurse. You have been taking care of her all these years. Your words are more effective than ours. Please help persuade her! I have something else to do here. If you have nothing else to do, go back and take care of Huan'er first."
The door opened and a middle-aged woman walked out.
Half of the woman's face was left with burn scars.
She saw Zhuge Congfeng and saluted. When she saw Qin Huiyin next to her, a look of disgust flashed in her eyes.
"Master Zhuge is unwilling to marry Huan'er, is it because of this woman?"
Zhuge Congfeng said calmly: "I just don't want to delay her. I don't have any feelings for her. As long as you don't marry her, I can recognize her as my sister."
"Our Huan'er has a brother like the lord, so she doesn't need any other brothers. If Mr. Zhuge really wants to take responsibility, he should prepare to marry her." After the wet nurse said this, she left.
Qin Huiyin looked at the figure of the wet nurse.
"What's wrong?" Zhuge Congfeng asked.
"I was wondering... who in this Wuxiang Valley wants me to disappear, and who hates my existence the most?"
"You mean..."
"I don't know, I'm just thinking about this question. Have you thought about it?" Qin Huiyin looked at Zhuge Congfeng.
"You cunning little fox!" Zhuge Congfeng said unhappily, "Sometimes I really suspect that you are Qiu Bai's younger sister. You two look so alike."
"Why don't you come in? What are you standing outside for?" Puyang Qiubai called out.
Zhuge Congfeng took Qin Huiyin into the study.
"You looking for us?"
"The man we just brought back is dead." Puyang Qiubai said, "The clue is broken again."
"I've already broken his jaw, how could he die?" Zhuge Congfeng frowned, "How did he die?"
"He died on the way. After his subordinates examined him, they said he had a heart disease and died of shock."
"Brother, can you believe this?"
"I didn't believe it, so I took a look myself. There were needle holes on his arm. That means someone injected a poison needle into his body, creating the false appearance of death from a relapse of heart disease," said Puyang Qiubai.
"Another thing happened just now." Zhuge Congfeng told him that the clothes on Qin Huiyin had been soaked in medicine. "The other party must have soaked more than just this one. I'm afraid there are problems with other clothes too. Let's check them later to see who has handled these clothes."
"Yinyin, I'll ask them to prepare new clothes. Please bear with it for a while and don't go out during this period of time. Wait until we catch that person before going out." Puyang Qiubai said.
"good."
"Someone come here..." Puyang Qiubai called the female steward and asked her to take Qin Huiyin to change into new clothes.
As soon as Qin Huiyin left, Zhuge Congfeng sat down in front of Puyang Qiubai and said, "Yinyin reminded me just now that there are not many people here who want her to disappear."
Qin Huiyin followed the housekeeper to change into new clothes.
The housekeeper asked Qin Huiyin to pick a few more sets.
"Girl, these clothes were bought last year. They may not be up to date with the latest fashions out there, but they are all new and have never been worn. Please don't be disgusted."
"I like it very much, thank you." Qin Huiyin said, "Have you ever left Wuxiang Valley?"
"I have been in the valley for eight years and have never been out of it. I don't know what the outside world has become."
"So do you want to leave the valley?"
"No." The female steward said, "Although I have never been out of the valley, I have no interest in anything outside."
"I want to go back to my room to rest. You don't have to send me off. It's not far from here. I can go there by myself."
"But……"
"Don't worry, it's okay." Qin Huiyin said, "It's just a few steps, what can go wrong?"
The housekeeper thought that her master had told her not to detain her, and that there were their people everywhere around here, so nothing should happen, so she agreed.
Although the female steward did not restrain her, she followed her. When she saw that she did not return to her own courtyard but entered Puyang Huan's courtyard, she quickly arranged for a servant to report to the study.
As for her, she wanted to follow in, but the servant guarding the door stopped her from entering.
Puyang Huan's yard has always been closely guarded and no one is allowed to enter casually.
The housekeeper thought that so many people saw Qin Huiyin entering Puyang Huan's yard, and even if Puyang Huan was jealous of Qin Huiyin, she would not dare to do anything to her.
