Chapter 424 - Cui Luixian’s Ending II
Nanny Cheng smiled and pointed to the cabinet across. "In the second drawer, the tea is in a green jar over there."
Just as Jiang Ruolan walked back to the second floor, she suddenly saw Cui Liuxian again. She wore a very thin and short white dress. The dress barely covered her bottom.
The guests hadn't left and yet she was wearing a dress like this as she walked through the corridor on the second floor.
Just as Cui Liuxian was about to walk towards the hallway, she seemed to feel eyes on her. In the blink of an eye, she turned around and was stunned when she saw the cup in Jiang Ruolan's hand.
"Aren't you afraid of catching a cold after wearing so little?" Although Jiang Ruolan didn't like her, she was curious and still tried to probe her out.
Cui Liuxian pursed her lips but didn't say anything. She looked at the Ginger Tea in Jiang Ruolan's hand with displeasure, then turned around and went back to her room. She didn't come out again.
Weird.
Jiang Ruolan frowned as she walked past Cui Liuxian's room. When she thought about her appearance a moment ago, Cui Liuxian seemed like she had just taken a shower and changed into those inappropriate clothes. Jiang Ruolan's heart suddenly skipped a beat and she had a bad premonition.
It couldn't be..
Did Cui Liuxian want to take advantage of Jiang Yijun, who was in a drunken state, to do something bad? Since she couldn't climb on Xian Zihao's bed, she tried to climb on Jiang Yijun's bed?
The fragrance from Jiang Yijun's room just now…
Jiang Ruolan recalled the incense box belonging to Cui Luixian. At that time, she was still alert, and Zhan An specifically checked to make sure that no musk in the incense could cause a miscarriage before she returned it to Cui Liuxian.
Could it be that Cui Liuxian was desperate and that's why she decided to take advantage of Jiang Yijun by using this strange item?
Jiang Ruolan's body was immediately covered in cold sweats. Thinking about Cui Liuxian's weird attitude and the fragrance in Jiang Yijun's room, and then she recalled back when she was on the way to his room, she saw Cui Liuxian come out of the room. It wasn't impossible. Really, it wasn't impossible.
Was marrying into the Xian Family and becoming Old Man Xian's legal granddaughter-in-law so important to Cui Liuxian?
When Jiang Ruolan thought about how thin Cui Liuxian's dress was just now, she clearly wanted to go to Jiang Yijun's room. Still, she didn't expect that she would meet Jiang Ruolan, who was on the way to Jiang Yijun's room.
It was fortunate that she (Jiang Ruolan) was fast and saw it!
Jiang Ruolan cursed in her heart as she quickly rushed to Jiang Yijun's room and pushed the door open. She had to wake him up, so she turned on the light, and the room suddenly became as bright as day.
"I've made ginger tea for you. Drink it fast." Jiang Ruolan said with a serious expression and placed the cup on the table. Then she looked around the room and searched for the source of this fragrance.
It was unknown where Cui Liuxian put the incense. She went to the bathroom, wet the towel with cold water, and threw it at Jiang Yijun's head. "Wipe your face. I have something to tell."
Jiang Yijun took the towel and wiped his face. Then, he forced himself to sit up and rubbed his forehead while looking at Jiang Ruolan with narrowed eyes. He asked in a low voice, "What is it?"
"Drink your tea first." Jiang Ruolan didn't go near him but stood by the window to prevent herself from smelling too much of that strange fragrance.
These were all things that could only be seen in TV dramas. The Old Man had said before that Cui Liuxian always watched those unrealistic dramas on the computer. Jiang Ruolan really doubted if Cui Liuxian's mind was completely sane.
These stupid things, what good would that do her?
What was even more hateful was that since Cui Liuxian couldn't do anything to Xian Zihao, she now was going to do something to Jiang Yijun, her (Jiang Ruolan) younger brother whom she had been relying on for so many years. How hateful!
Seeing Jiang Ruolan standing by the window while gritting her teeth, Jiang Yijun felt that she really had something important to talk about, so he let out a soft sigh. The fluorescent light in the room that was suddenly turned on was so bright, and Jiang Yijun had to close his eyes for a moment before calming down. He then reached out to pick up the cup on the table and took a sip.
Just as he was about to spit out the tea, Jiang Ruolan glared at him. "This is a sobering tea! It's not like you never drink it! You are not allowed to spit it out! Drink it until finished!"
"What's wrong?" Seeing Jiang Ruolan's bitter and revengeful expression and her cold tone, Jiang Yijun could only stare at her with disbelief. He could only swallow his words and barely drank a few mouthfuls.
When Jiang Ruolan saw Jiang Yijun put down the cup, she narrowed her eyes at him and asked with a serious face, "Have you woken up?"
Jiang Yijun exhaled. He was disgusted with the taste of the tea and said reluctantly, "Jiang Ruolan, are you having menopause? Why do you have to wake me up? Can't you let me sleep soundly? I feel so terrible right now."
As he said that, he rubbed his forehead and muttered in displeasure, "I helped your husband, who had just recovered from a serious injury, drinking and in the end, I was treated like this!"
The corner of Jiang Ruolan's mouth twitched. She continued to stand at the window and glared at him. "Smell it yourself. What does your room smell like?"
Jiang Yijun frowned. After hearing what she said, he stood up and sniffed. After a moment, he asked in confusion, "Where did this fragrance come from?"
"No other servant ever entered your room? Xian Zihao was the only one who helped you, wasn't he?" Jiang Ruolan asked.
Jiang Yijun thought back and nodded. "Xian Zihao was the one who helped me."
"As expected." Jiang Ruolan sighed helplessly and looked at the time.
Immediately Jiang Yijun understood something. His expression changed and he suddenly looked at Jiang Ruolan. The two of them looked at each other.

At 9:30 pm, when Old Man Xian had finished his dinner, he suddenly saw Cui Liuxian running down the stairs with an anxious face as if something big had happened.
"Grandfather! Grandfather!"
"What's wrong? Why are you in a rush?" When the Old Man saw Cui Liuxian running down the stairs, he restrained the smile on his face and glared at her.
Cui Liuxian paused and then bit her lips. She still walked down quickly and ran to the Old Man's side, putting her hand to his ear to cover her mouth as she whispered a few words into his ear.
The more Old Man Xian heard, the more he raised his eyebrows. He then pushed her away. "What nonsense you are talking about!"
"Really! Grandpa! She hadn't come out for a long time! Didn't you already realize that there was something wrong between the two of them? Grandpa, you know, although I had done something silly before, I have always been very quiet. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, what would I have come over to tell you?"
"I don't have time to mess around with people! I saw it with my own eyes! It's been almost an hour and she still hasn't come out! There's something strange going on in the room!"
