The two of them stayed in Lotus Flower Village.
The next evening, Yu Song was sent back to the Directorate by Jiang Hai. As Uncle had expected, the boys in the village were drunk very badly by Yu Song. Other than Jiang Hai, everyone at the table was drunk. In the end, Yu Song even returned to his room to study for an hour.
Aunt secretly glanced at her son through the crack of the door and smiled from ear to ear. The eldest son knew how to earn money, and the second son knew how to study. Both sons were promising!
At the end of July, Shadow Thirteen and Shadow Six returned from searching for medicine. They first went to the Young Master Manor to let Old Cui prepare the medicine.
Old Cui did not expect that such a tricky medicine would be found just like that. He seemed to finally understand why Worthy Consort Xu and her son could not defeat Yan Jiuchao. Just the ability of his guards was not something that ordinary experts could compare to.!!
Old Cui immediately made a pill according to the prescription provided by Lady Wan of Bright Deportment.
“Alright, send it to your Young Master!” Old Cui stuffed the pill into Shadow Six’s hand impatiently.
Shadow Thirteen was cold. He didn’t dare to stuff it in his hands as he was too fierce. Only Shadow Six had a good temper and looked easy to get along with.
“Wait.” Shadow Thirteen took the medicine bottle and poured out a pill. “Eat first.”
“You!” Old Cui was so angry that his breathing stopped. “Do you suspect that I poisoned your Young Master?”
Shadow Thirteen said expressionlessly, “After all, you were once Worthy Consort Xu’s person.”
I was once, but am I going to be for the rest of my life?! Old Cui was furious, but he also understood that Shadow Thirteen was not easy to fool. Old Cui glared at him fiercely. “Serves you right for not being able to get a wife at your age! It would be strange if a girl likes you with your personality!”
Shadow Six was puzzled. “What’s wrong with Shadow Thirteen’s personality? He’s quite likable.”
Shadow Thirteen cleared his throat. “Ahem!”
Of course, Old Cui would not poison Yan Jiuchao. However, the pill was to clear the poison and had the effect of cleansing the intestines. Old Cui went to the toilet twice and there was nothing else.
Shadow Thirteen observed Old Cui for a day and a night. After confirming that there were no mistakes, he sent it to Yan Jiuchao. However, what was puzzling was that Yan Jiuchao did not show any signs of detoxifying after taking the pill.
Yu Wan suspected that she was not good at taking pulses and let Shadow Thirteen kidnap Old Cui.
Old Cui foamed at the mouth and rolled his eyes along the way. It was not easy for him to get off the horse. He did not even catch his breath before he took Yan Jiuchao’s pulse.
“How is it?” Yu Wan asked.
Yu Shaoqing had gone to mine, and Madam Jiang had gone to Aunt Zhang’s house. Little Bruiser and the three little black eggs were at Ah Wei’s house. In the huge house, there was only the couple, Shadow Thirteen, so there was no need to avoid talking.
Old Cui stroked his beard and said thoughtfully, “That shouldn’t be. I did it with the dosage according to the prescription.”
Yu Wan paused. “Is there a mistake with the prescription?”
Old Cui shook his head. “Although I don’t know what is used to treat the Fragrance of Hundred Miles, those herbs are indeed holy to detoxification. The pill would have at least ten to twenty percent effect against the Princely Heir’s poison curse. It’s not to the extent that there’s no reaction at all after taking it… What went wrong?”
As they spoke, Shadow Thirteen’s ears twitched and he asked warily, “Who is it!”
Clack ~
The little black eggs stuck their heads out and ran in adorably. Shadow Thirteen relaxed. Soon, he frowned again! Wait, when did his fair little masters become little briquettes?!
“Grandma!” Ah Wei returned to his house.
Shadow Thirteen’s vigilance was indeed not low. He had almost discovered Ah Wei just now. Of course, Ah Wei did not deliberately eavesdrop. He was just sending his disciples home. Who would have thought that he would hear such explosive news?
“Grandma, Grandma, listen to me!” Ah Wei entered the old man’s room and interrupted the old man who was preparing for class.
The old man put down the Thousand Character Classic indifferently and glanced at him. “What do you want to do now?”
This kid did not do a good thing when he came to Lotus Flower Village. He was tasked with capturing someone but failed—Yu Wan, he was asked not to touch a certain person but he beat that certain person to a pig’s head—State Preceptor. The old man regretted bringing him out.
Ah Wei also knew that he had caused trouble and was always looking for an opportunity to make up for his mistakes. Wasn’t the opportunity here now?
“Grandma, I found out big news!”
Ah Wei puffed out his chest and told them everything he had heard in the Yu family. “…So he was poisoned by the Southern Xinjiang poison curse. No wonder he asked a Gu Master to detoxify him. He was also poisoned by the Fragrance of Hundred Miles. From that person’s tone, it seems that the poison curse has been resolved. Strange, that lousy third-rate Gu Master can still resolve such a powerful poison curse…”
