Yin Chujin stood by the bed expressionlessly. In order to prevent her from poisoning Ye Xin, her hands were restrained by Xiao Yelei. Although her dislocated hands were in pain, she felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction when she saw Ye Xin screaming hysterically with red rashes all over her body.
The poison she had poisoned Ye Xin could cause rashes on the skin of the poisoned person, and it would cause an unbearable itchiness. However, as long as she scratche it, she would continue to scratch it until the skin festered. After taking the antidote, there would still be a five-hour incubation period, but the continuous itching would turn into itches that came in bouts.
Therefore, Yin Chujin reminded her wickedly, "Ye Xin, I told you not to scratch it. It will leave a scar."
Ye Xin wailed for a while before the itch finally passed. She took a deep breath and immediately glanced at Yin Chujin with a murderous gaze. In the next moment, she saw Xiao Yelei holding her hand tightly by the bed. For some reason, jealousy surged in her heart. Just as she was about to flare up, the itch returned and she had no time to care about this matter.
Yin Chujin noticed the jealousy in Ye Xin's eyes. She looked at the two of them holding hands and then at Xiao Yelei. At this moment, his mind was completely focused on Ye Xin. He was looking at her with heartache and did not notice how ambiguous their hands were. Moreover, he had already caused the woman he loved to misunderstand. It seemed like he was just a slow-witted fellow. Since that was the case, she naturally would not remind him. Who asked him to treat her so badly? Don't blame her for being despicable.
After the next itch, Ye Xin wheedled and asked Xiao Yelei to accompany her. Xiao Yelei wanted to shake off Yin Chujin's hand immediately and go forward, but he was afraid that she would use poison, so he hesitated for a moment.
Yin Chujin wasn't in a hurry. When she noticed the burning jealousy in Ye Xin's eyes, she was finally willing to release the two of them and her hand. "Don't worry. The poison powder is in my sleeve. You can take it all."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Yelei reached into her sleeve and took away all the powder bags. Then, he shook off Yin Chujin's hand in disgust and walked to the bed.
Yin Chujin gasped and held her dislocated right hand tightly with her left hand. She glared at the back of Xiao Yelei's head angrily.
"Yelei, I don't want her here. Ah, it's so itchy…" Ye Xin pointed at Yin Chujin and pouted. Soon, the itchiness rose again.
Xiao Yelei comforted her as he said to Yin Chujin, "Get lost!"
Upon hearing this word, Yin Chujin was overjoyed. Without hesitation, she turned around and walked out, taking Zhu'er with her.
When Yin Chujin and Zhu'er returned to Wuyuan, Leng'er was already waiting anxiously by the door. When she saw them, she hurried forward to help Yin Chujin into the house.
"Princess, what about your hand?"
When she relaxed, she finally realized how painful it was. Yin Chujin was in so much pain that her brows were knitted together. She bit her lower lip hard and could not help but suck in a breath of cold air. Only in front of them could she completely expose her weakness.
"It's… nothing. It's just a dislocation. Leng'er, help me… get it right…" She would come looking for her again in a while.
Leng'er nodded and replied, "Princess, bear with it!"
"Crack…" Yin Chujin did not make a sound when she heard the sound again. She stroked her hand that had returned to its original position and sighed again.
"Princess, you have to hand over the antidote sooner or later. You really shouldn't suffer this loss…" Zhu'er looked at her princess with heartache. She really felt sad for her after marrying the Prince.
"You learn from your mistakes and you'll know next time." Xiao Yelei knew that she would drug him, so he grabbed her hand the moment he suppressed her, giving her no chance to take the medicine. The next time, she would stay away from him and not let him suppress her. Only then would she have an absolute chance of winning.
"Princess, it's clearly Ye Xin's fault. She actually misled the Prince. If you tell the Prince properly. Perhaps the Prince will understand."
Yin Chujin shook her head. Xiao Yelei no longer bore a grudge against her, but he had changed from treating her as an enemy to treating her as a stranger. His balance would always be on Ye Xin's side. No matter how much Ye Xin went overboard, he would still help her.
Wuyuan had returned to its former tranquility in the past two days. Thinking that Ye Xin's poison had just passed and her body was weak, Xiao Yelei's mind was focused on her and had no time to care about anything else, so he did not come here to find trouble.
She thought that she could live a peaceful life for a few days, but Leng'er had caught a cold for no reason. Her usually strong body collapsed just like that, and she was still said it was cold even when she was wrapped in the two blankets. Yin Chujin took her pulse, but her brows were slightly furrowed. She was puzzled. Logically speaking, the poison that Leng'er had been poisoned with that day had been cured by her. However, from her pulse, it was obvious that the poison had acted up again, and the poison had changed.
Leng'er had been poisoned by someone with a parasite…
Yin Chujin was worried. It was not easy to get rid of the parasitic poison unless she found the source of the parasitic poison. Right now, she could only help Leng'er get rid of the symptoms that appeared. She prescribed a few anti-cold medicines and let Zhu'er brew it. She sat by Leng'er's bed and held her chin in a daze.
It was already late at night, and the starry sky could be seen through the window. Suddenly, a distress signal rose in the dark night. A string of sparks shot into the sky, spreading out in small patterns. Others might not take such a small signal seriously, but Yin Chujin knew very well that this was the bamboo tube she had given Yang Feiming to inform her if he was in danger.
Yin Chujin immediately stood up, changed her clothes, and instructed Zhu'er to take good care of Leng'er. She jumped over the wall and ran towards the Benevolence Hall. She was afraid that if she was late, she would see the destruction of the Benevolence Hall. She was even more afraid of seeing the Yang family's grandfather and grandson pair being killed. She did not know why she was so worried about them. The only explanation was that there were not many people who treated her well after coming to this strange time and space. Other than Zhu'er and Leng'er, there were only the Yang family's grandfather and grandson. In the end, she was afraid that she would be too lonely in this world. She was afraid of the coldness of the people in her previous life.
It was already midnight and there wasn't a single person on the street. Yin Chujin didn't need to hide anything. When she pushed open the door of Benevolence Hall, she realized that it was extremely quiet inside. She pushed the door open. She looked up and saw Yang Chengji sitting at the entrance of the hall with a stool. Yang Feiming was leaning against his leg. The grandfather and grandson were yawning non-stop. When they saw Yin Chujin appear, their eyes flashed with surprise.
Seeing that they were fine, Yin Chujin heaved a sigh of relief. However, she frowned unconsciously. Why would they send a secret signal if there was nothing wrong with Benevolence Hall?
"Sister, you're here?" Yang Feiming ran towards her.
Yin Chujin sighed helplessly and rubbed his head. "Ming'er, the bamboo tube I gave you isn't for fun."
As soon as she finished speaking, Yang Feiming pursed his lips aggrievedly. "Sister, Ming'er didn't play. It was that brother who snatched the bamboo tube." As he spoke, he pointed at the roof on the upper left.
Yin Chujin looked in the direction he was pointing at and saw Sheng Yiming sitting on the roof in a white robe, looking down at her with a smile.
In an instant, Yin Chujin understood everything. It turned out that he was the one behind all this. She could not help but feel a burning anger rising in her heart.
"Are you crazy? Who has time to play games with you in the middle of the night?!"
