Jiang Yuwei stepped forward, took off the sachet, and opened it to check. She found that it contained some powdered medicinal herbs. Then, Jiang Yuwei gently sniffed it and seemed to smell licorice and some aphrodisiac drugs.
These herbs are fine when used separately, but when mixed together, they have an antagonistic effect. Over time, this will definitely cause premature ejaculation and kidney deficiency in men, and in severe cases, impotence.
Looking at the sachet in his hand and recalling the cruelty Sun had inflicted on Xu Qianqian, he couldn't help but frown.
Just then, Chen Guixiang's wailing suddenly came from outside.
"Oh, my Chunlin, my son, you are so badly injured, how can I live with this?"
As the footsteps grew closer, Jiang Yuwei quickly put the sachet in her sleeve and got up to go outside. She saw Ning Chunlin, covered in blood and looking at the sky with a bewildered expression, being carried in by several servants.
While everyone was distracted, Jiang Yuwei quickly reached out to check Ning Chunlin's pulse. As she expected, Ning Chunlin had been poisoned for a long time, causing him to be impotent. It seemed that he also had hallucinogenic drugs in his body, which was probably why he castrated himself.
Thinking this, Jiang Yuwei looked up at Madam Sun and saw that although she was crying loudly, there were no tears in her eyes. Now Jiang Yuwei understood everything.
But to Jiang Yuwei's surprise, this Sun woman, who was usually quiet and reserved, was actually quite patient. Now that she had her own daughter Ning Xin, and since she couldn't win over Ning Chunlin's heart,
Instead of worrying that he might have another child with someone else and threaten her position, it would be better to simply remove his manhood, thus keeping Ning Chunlin firmly in her grasp.
Jiang Yuwei understood Sun's intentions and couldn't help but look at her a few more times. So, this Sun was quite a ruthless person, and she should not be underestimated.
Now things are indeed going as she wished. All the women around Ning Chunlin are dead, and he will no longer be able to have sex with other women. It's just a pity that no matter how well Sun Shi planned, everything will be resolved when the prince returns.
Your family has enjoyed such a luxurious life for so long; this can be considered as repaying Chen Guixiang and Old Man Ning for raising Huaizhi.
Originally, if Chen Guixiang hadn't been so greedy, your family could have lived a life a thousand times better than in Ningjia Village. But now that you've secretly done this underhanded thing, you can't blame us for being ruthless.
Thinking this way, Jiang Yuwei decided not to bother with the mess anymore. Now that she knew the whole story, she would let them do whatever they wanted. After all, they were just grasshoppers in autumn and wouldn't be able to jump around for more than a few days.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to her, Jiang Yuwei quietly left Ning Chunlin's courtyard and headed towards Diancui Courtyard.
As soon as I entered, I saw Ning Zixuan having tea with the princess.
Jiang Yuwei stepped forward, bowed, and sat down at the table. Upon seeing this, Wang Ma hurriedly poured Jiang Yuwei a cup of tea.
The princess nodded to her mother, signaling her to go out first.
Ning Zixuan then looked at Jiang Yuwei and asked:
"Sister-in-law, did you just come out of Ningchun Forestry Courtyard?"
Jiang Yuwei smiled and took a sip of tea.
"We all underestimated the Sun family's methods."
As she spoke, Jiang Yuwei placed the sachet she had previously put away on the table.
"See? Sun used this to make Ning Chunlin impotent. But his self-castration this time is a bit strange. I secretly took his pulse just now. The poison Sun used has already penetrated deep into his internal organs. But I also noticed that Ning Chunlin seemed to have just taken some hallucinogenic drugs. Perhaps it was these drugs that made him turn on himself."
Ning Zixuan glanced at the sachet on the table, then frowned and said:
"Could it be that the Sun family has some shady dealings with the Lin family? I just sent someone to investigate, and the person who was drinking with Ning Chunlin at Wangchun Tower was the eldest young master of the Lin family. He is also a regular customer of Wangchun Tower."
As he spoke, Ning Zixuan turned to look at the princess.
"Perhaps these two have been colluding for a long time. If the hallucinogenic drugs in Ning Chunlin's body were recently ingested, then it must have been the Lin family who drugged him."
Jiang Yuwei also glanced at the sachet on the table and frowned, saying:
"If Sun poisoned Ning Chunlin, it was only to make Ning Chunlin settle down and take better care of her and her daughter. Now that Ning Chunlin has castrated himself, Sun has gained nothing but lost face."
As she spoke, Jiang Yuwei paused, then looked up at the Princess and Ning Zixuan.
"It is unlikely that Sun is colluding with the Lin family. First of all, Aunt Lin probably looks down on Sun's status as a peasant and would not bother to cooperate with her. Secondly, Aunt Lin's goal is to bring down the Princess Consort, which would not benefit Sun. Sun is certainly not a fool."
Jiang Yuwei took a small sip of the tea in her cup.
"Although the possibility is extremely small, it is not entirely impossible. Now that Sun has come up with such a dirty trick to deal with Ning Chunlin, I feel that I can't figure her out anymore. Perhaps the Lin family promised Sun some incredible benefits to help her obstruct things."
As she spoke, Jiang Yuwei put down her teacup and slowly said:
"Regardless, we should still keep a close eye on the Sun family. Their ambitions are growing, and we have to be on guard."
The princess nodded and looked at Ning Zixuan.
"Do as Yuwei said. Not only do we need to keep a close eye on the family physician and Consort Lin, but we also need to arrange for a few more people to follow Madam Sun and Ning Chunlin. Your father is coming back soon, and we absolutely cannot allow any more mishaps."
Ning Zixuan nodded.
Upon hearing the princess's words, Jiang Yuwei quickly turned to Ning Zixuan and excitedly said:
"Your Highness, did the Princess just say that the Prince is returning to the capital? What about Huai Zhi...?"
Ning Zixuan nodded with a smile.
"I forgot to tell you earlier, but I received a secret report from my father. He said that after Brother Huaizhi went to the border, he has achieved one victory after another. Not only has he recovered the lost cities, but he has also driven away the enemy and signed a peace treaty. My father is very satisfied with Brother Huaizhi's abilities."
Jiang Yuwei was very happy to hear this.
"So, are they already on their way back to the capital?"
Ning Zixuan shook his head.
“The war has just ended, and my father and the others will stay on the border to help the people rebuild their homes. But I estimate they should be back soon, sister-in-law, you don’t need to worry.”
As he spoke, Ning Zixuan looked up and smiled at Jiang Yuwei, offering words of comfort:
"The Emperor has already received the news and is very pleased. He is just waiting for Father and Brother Huaizhi to return so that they can be rewarded."
Jiang Yuwei's smiling face fell again. She had thought that she could see Ning Huaizhi soon after the war ended, but she never expected that they would have to stay on the border to help the people rebuild their homes, which meant that she would have to wait for many more days.
When Ning Huaizhi was by his side, he didn't feel anything, but now that Ning Huaizhi has been gone for so long, he doesn't even have anyone to talk to, and he always feels empty inside, and he often thinks of him.
Jiang Yuwei only now understood how painful it was for a husband and wife to be separated.
