These were left behind when those people came in yesterday and took away their personal jewelry. They only saw the hairpins, bracelets, and bangles that were sticking out, but they didn't notice that she was wearing an armband on her forearm.
Wei Shuwan immediately straightened the armlet little by little, while Wei Shuyao watched in disbelief: "Silver?"
Wei Shuwan gave a soft "hmm" and inserted the long, thin pure silver arm ring into a piece of roasted meat.
Soon, the silver turned black.
This was within Wei Shuwan's expectations, so she wasn't too surprised. However, Wei Shuyao beside her was jolted as if struck by lightning!
"I...I think I swallowed some when I took my first bite..."
After speaking tremblingly, Wei Shuyao immediately tried to vomit up the roasted meat she had swallowed by sticking her fingers down her throat. However, her body, which hadn't had any oil or fat for two days, seemed to absorb it exceptionally quickly, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't vomit anything up.
Finally, Wei Shuyao slumped helplessly onto the haystack, looking like she was waiting to die...
Wei Shuwan didn't seem too concerned and advised her, "You don't need to worry too much. If what I'm thinking is true, those people probably just want to scare my father with this, and they don't intend to poison us directly. So even if you finish the whole plate of roasted meat, it won't be a lethal dose, especially since you only swallowed half a mouthful."
"Then...then I'll be alright?" Wei Shuyao seemed to have suddenly come back to life, her eyes shining with a desire to live.
Wei Shuwan originally wanted to say that there might be minor symptoms such as abdominal pain, but after thinking about it, she decided not to scare her in advance and to just wait and see.
So she nodded, agreeing with Wei Shuyao's words.
Wei Shuyao finally calmed down, laughing and crying at the same time, and then hid to the side, far away from the table of dishes.
Since there was no dinner to eat, the two sisters had no choice but to go to bed early, and once they were asleep, they naturally didn't feel hungry.
She drifted off to sleep until midnight when Wei Shuwan was suddenly awakened by several sharp, painful screams. She opened her eyes and looked at Wei Shuyao. In the dim candlelight, she saw Wei Shuyao clutching her lower abdomen, her body curled up, occasionally twitching.
The symptoms were much more serious than Wei Shuwan had expected, and she couldn't help but feel a pang of anxiety, rushing forward to check on her. She first lifted Wei Shuyao's face, intending to check her forehead temperature, but to her surprise, she discovered that bright red blood was flowing from the corners of Wei Shuyao's mouth and nostrils!
"Fourth sister?!"
Wei Shuyao seemed to have lost consciousness, only convulsing. Wei Shuwan knew that if a doctor wasn't found soon, Wei Shuyao wouldn't survive the night. So she put Wei Shuyao back on the ground, shook the iron bars vigorously, and shouted loudly:
"Help! Help! Someone's been poisoned!"
Although the women's cell was not as large as the men's, it was much longer and narrower. When she shouted from one end, the jailer, who was sound asleep at night, couldn't hear her at all. So Wei Shuwan turned around again, picked up the plates and bowls, and stretched out her hand through the iron bars to smash them as far as possible!
The commotion quickly woke up the jailer on night watch. When he came over to check, he found that the situation was indeed urgent. He quickly unlocked the door and carried Wei Shuyao away to seek medical treatment.
Wei Shuwan was left alone in the prison. Naturally, she couldn't sleep that night, constantly recalling Wei Shuyao's appearance and trying to figure out where things went wrong.
The person who poisoned them wasn't playing a joke on them to pressure their father; they genuinely wanted them dead!
Who could this person be?
Princess Yun'an?
That shouldn't be the case. Given Yun An's willful and capricious nature, it's normal for him to come here to ridicule her and make a fool of himself after learning about the Wei family's misfortune. But risking his life to poison her would be superfluous.
Who else could it be?
A face flashed through Wei Shuwan's mind, and a chill ran through her.
How could she forget that she had Zi Qiao use words to threaten someone into offering help?
Perhaps there really is someone who wants her to die in prison right now...
