Xuan Mingye instinctively removed the garter from his neck, held it in his hand, and smiled gently, saying, "The jade pendant and the spirit scroll are connected. If either of them is in danger, we can sense each other. So, you can forget about escaping my side in this lifetime."
Qian Youxue was stunned. The old Taoist priest had said that there were many things in the world that had no answers, and such a peculiar connection between husband and wife was very rare. She never thought that the spirit scroll could actually do it.
Is this guy trying to remind her that she's already married?
What the heck?
This isn't a place where monogamy is the norm; there are plenty of men who divorce their wives.
"Are you listening to me?" Xuan Mingye lifted her chin. It was the first time he had confided his past to a woman, and she was so distracted that he couldn't help but get angry.
Um!
Qian Youxue responded, removed Xuan Mingye's hand, and said with some annoyance, "I want to take Bowen back with me tomorrow."
Xuan Mingye was furious. This was a kind of confession to her, yet she was still thinking about the Qian family's messy affairs. If she really wasn't Qian Sheng's child, then apart from the old lady, the rest of the Qian family could be ignored.
"Although I am not Qian Sheng's child, I am indeed a member of the Qian family." Qian Youxue understood Xuan Mingye's thoughts and simply stated them clearly.
Not only that, but he also revealed the secret of the Qian family, so that they wouldn't have to do anything secretly in the future.
"You're saying someone has been trying to prevent the Qian family from having any male heirs?" Xuan Mingye was somewhat surprised by this. Such a vicious thing, which powerful figure did the Qian family offend? Over the years, Qian Sheng and the old lady haven't been able to find out anything.
"This is really weird!" Qian Youxue pouted in annoyance.
"Don't worry, I'll investigate this for you. Long Bo didn't go to capture Sai Miaoshou. Just like you guessed, as long as we can get Sai Miaoshou to talk, maybe everything will come out." Xuan Mingye gently stroked the hair on her forehead, and it was clear that she hoped to find her biological parents.
What child in the world doesn't miss their parents? Unless the parents have done something utterly inhumane to their child, everyone has something to look forward to. Hopefully, her parents are still alive.
"Um... thank you..." Qian Youxue finally realized that the other party seemed to genuinely want to help her, and felt a little embarrassed about her earlier guess.
"Youxue!" Xuan Mingye hated that she was always so wary of him, like a hedgehog.
Qian Youxue didn't give Xuan Mingye a chance to continue speaking. She got up and walked to the side: "Such a big thing has happened. Bowen must be terrified. I have to go and take a look."
"I will accompany you," Xuan Mingye said considerately.
Qian Youxue refused outright, making up a random excuse: "I think it's better to let outsiders think we're just pretending to be doing well."
But is there any need to pretend?
They really didn't get along, and Xuan Mingye wanted to ease the tension between them, which is why he kept bowing down to this woman.
Seeing her turn and run away, his heart felt like it was being torn apart. Clutching his chest, he let out a long breath: "That damned woman, is she really going to be so angry that I'll die before she's satisfied?"
Despite saying that, he still couldn't let her go. After she left, he instructed Leng Qing and Leng Yu to go and help her.
Qian Youxue fled Xueyuan as if her life depended on it, heading straight for Yiyuan. At this moment, Aunt Lan, who had heard the commotion, also went there.
Aunt Lan was looking for an opportunity to strike, but she didn't expect that the War King's men were also here. She could only stay here and help treat the wounds of those old women.
Having just experienced such a scene, Qian Bowen's gaze seemed somewhat dazed, and Su Shi, very worried, kept holding him as she sat on the edge of the bed.
"Bowen, how are you?" Qian Youxue rushed into the house with Yunhe.
"Sister... Sister..." Qian Bowen came to his senses, got up and rushed over to hug his sister, and suddenly burst into tears.
"It's alright, the person has been caught." Qian Youxue was startled.
Even when the poison made Bowen writhe in excruciating pain, he didn't cry like this. This shows just how much he's been traumatized. That damned Qitian deserves to be torn to pieces.
Qian Bowen took a deep breath, gradually regained his senses, stood up, and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes: "Sister, isn't Bowen useless? He was so frightened by something like this, and even told Brother-in-law Zhan Wang that he wanted to go to the battlefield. It's so embarrassing."
Seeing that Bowen could say such things, Su felt relieved. She went over and pulled him to sit down beside her, tenderly taking his arm in her arms.
"Did Qitian injure all of this?" Qian Youxue looked at Bowen's bloodied arm. Seeing her mother nod, she cursed angrily, "That damned bastard, I'll skin him alive!"
When Aunt Lan heard the name Qi Tian, she stiffened and looked at Qian Youxue in fear: "Your Highness, you must be careful. That Qi Tian is very vicious."
When Aunt Lan said that, Qian Youxue became really worried. She carefully examined Bowen's hand injury and found that it had indeed been poisoned, and it was a very troublesome kind of poison.
Not only Bowen, but the other old women's injuries were also poisonous. Looking at Granny Wu lying on the bed, Granny Wu's injuries were even more severe.
"Yunhe, you treat Granny Wu's wounds first, and leave the rest to Leng Qing and Leng Yu. Mother, Bowen, come with me to the next room." After arranging everyone, Qian Youxue gave Yunhe a look.
Yunhe nodded in understanding, knowing that her master was trying to keep an eye on Aunt Lan, and at the same time, was taking this opportunity to investigate the other low-ranking women in Yiyuan.
Before they arrived, Leng Qing and Leng Yu had also received orders from their master to carefully investigate the people in Yi Garden and see if there was anything suspicious.
Before leaving the house, Qian Youxue noticed that two people were missing and asked her mother, "Where are Ryukyu and Chunhua?"
"They are both still unconscious, lying in the room next door. Do you suspect anything?" After returning from Xueyuan, Su thought about it and agreed that Youxue was right. There must be spies working together in Yiyuan. However, she felt that Chunhua and Liuqiu were unlikely to be involved.
However, in Qian Youxue's mind, apart from her mother and Granny Wu, everyone else might have problems.
A glint of light flashed in her eyes. She first went to a room with her mother to carefully examine Bowen's wounds again. After concocting an antidote, she asked her mother to call Leng Yu over. She instructed Leng Yu to bandage Bowen's wounds, and then she eagerly asked her mother to take her to visit Chunhua and Liuqiu.
Of course, Yunhe couldn't be absent at this time, as she didn't want to reveal her medical skills to them.
When the three entered the house, the two were still unconscious. There were also two old women who had just been sent by Qianmo in the house, and they were preparing to bandage the wounds of the two men.
