"Nonsense. Leng'er isn't a bad person. She's so good to the princess. If anything happens to the princess, she'll stand in front of her." Zhu'er came out of the house with red eyes. She didn't believe what Ye Xin said.
Yin Chujin knew that Zhu'er was feeling terrible. Ever since Leng'er came, Zhu'er was extremely happy to finally have company. Especially when the food in Wuyuan was bad at the beginning, when she was hungry, Leng'er would run out of the residence to buy delicious food for her.
Yin Chujin took a deep breath and stopped Zhu'er. She stared straight into Ye Xin's eyes and saw that she was being honest.
"You were the only one who saw it that day?"
"My maidservant, Hong'er, was with me at the martial arts arena. Later, I asked her to prepare pastries and she left."
Yin Chujin closed her eyes and took another deep breath. "Alright, I'll give you the antidote!"
"Princess, do you believe that Leng'er is a bad person? Do you believe that Leng'er has ulterior motives for getting close to you?" Zhu'er tugged at Yin Chujin's clothes and shook her head while crying.
Yin Chujin patted Zhu'er's head. "I believe that Leng'er has been treating us sincerely for the past month. Be good, it's fine." Perhaps she had a motive! The Armament Breaking Blueprint… After all, everyone wanted it!
Yin Chujin followed Ye Xin to Xiao Xiang Garden… Xiao Yelei's residence. Chief Steward Chen was guarding the door. From time to time, Xiao Yelei's painful growls could be heard from the room, accompanied by the sound of things shattering. When Ye Xin heard the sound, she hurriedly pushed the door open and entered. Just as she reached the door, a vase shattered by her feet.
"Get out!"
His temper was really bad! Yin Chujin shook her head and sighed. She stepped over Ye Xin and walked into the house. As expected, she saw Xiao Yelei's hideous appearance covered in black wrinkles. Another vase was about to hit her.
She raised her hand to stop him. "If you want the antidote, don't smash it!"
"Yin! Chu! Jin!" Xiao Yelei gritted his teeth in hatred, but in the end, he still smashed the vase by his own feet.
Yin Chujin glanced at him and poured a cup of tea from the round table. She took out a pill and threw it into the tea. Then, she picked up the broken piece of the vase and swiped it across her hand. She stuck it into the tea and swirled it twice. She didn't care about her cut fingers. She picked up the teacup and placed it heavily in front of him.
"Drink it!"
Although Xiao Yelei felt aggrieved, he still lost to the parasitic poison in the end and drank the cup of tea. The antidote took effect quickly, and soon the black spots on his body gradually disappeared, and the pain lessened until it disappeared.
"Xiao Yelei, do you understand the pain of the parasitic poison acting up in front of me in the future? You have to rely on me to give you the antidote every month. If I die, you have to die with me!" After saying this, Yin Chujin turned around and walked out.
When she passed by Ye Xin, she noticed that Ye Xin's body was trembling. Very good, her deterrence finally took effect.
"Ye Xin, back then, I agreed to treat your face because I wanted to give you face. Do you think that people surnamed Yin owes you? The rules of survival are not like this. The strong prey on the weak. It doesn't matter if you're willing or not! Don't appear in front of me in the future. I have all kinds of poisons here. I can give them to you at any time!" After saying that fiercely, Yin Chujin finally left Xiao Xiang Garden.
Ye Xin's body trembled for a while before she recovered. At that moment, she felt that Yin Chujin was very scary!
"Ye… Yelei, is… is she really Yin Chujin?" She had never heard of Yin Chujin knowing all kinds of poisons.
Xiao Yelei's face was ashen as he struck the round table with his palm. The round table instantly shattered into pieces and collapsed to the ground. He hated his cowardice just now!
"She's not!" Precisely because she wasn't, not only could he not take revenge for the Xiao Family on her, but he was also led by the nose by her. In the past, the princess only knew how to make a scene. He could crush her with a finger. The one in front of him was terrifyingly calm in the face of any situation, and the poison was even more invisible.
When Yin Chujin returned to Wuyuan, she saw that Zhu'er's eyes were still red. She frowned and squatted in the corner.
"Zhu'er, don't be sad. Leng'er… has her own path to take. Even if it's true, we didn't get hurt, right?" Heartache was a different kind of hurt.
"Princess…"
Zhu'er was very innocent. Ever since she was young, she had been by the princess's side. She had seen very little of the ugliness of human affairs. Whenever she encountered one, she could not see through it. Yin Chujin was different. After 20 years of being in a dark organization, she had seen all kinds of ugliness.
"Don't cry. I'll take you out of the residence!"
"Okay…" Zhu'er sobbed and nodded.
After the two of them packed up, Yin Chujin took the list of medicine written on the table and pulled Zhu'er to the wall.
"Princess, we're climbing over the wall to get out?" Zhu'er looked at the wall that was taller than her and swallowed her saliva. Previously, she had also left the residence, but she had always walked out from the main gate of the residence. The wall had always been climbed by the Princess and Leng'er.
"It saves trouble!" It was inconvenient to go out through the door, and her identity could be exposed at any time. "Zhu'er, hold on to the trunk of the sycamore tree. I'll help you climb up. When you reach the wall, I'll climb out and pick you up."
The two of them struggled for a while before climbing out of the Xiao Manor. Zhu'er's feet trembled for a while before she returned to normal.
Yin Chujin brought Zhu'er to buy a lot of her favorite snacks and fun things on East Street. After watching the performance, she finally smiled again, and Yin Chujin heaved a sigh of relief. In the end, the two of them went to Benevolence Hall.
Yang Chengji and Yang Feiming were very happy to see them. However, there was a long queue of patients in front of the medical center, so Yang Chengji did not have the time to greet them. Yin Chujin handed the list of herbs to Yang Feiming and asked him to help her get the herbs. She watched as Zhu'er sat in the hall eating pastries with relish, occasionally stuffing a piece to Feiming. She smiled and shook her head before entering the backyard to look at the herbs that were drying.
Every time she came to Benevolence Hall, she would come here. There was a medicinal fragrance mixed in the air in the backyard. It was not as strong as in the medical hall, but it made her feel very comfortable.
She was squatting and playing with the peony when she felt someone approaching from behind. Just as she was about to turn her head, she suddenly felt a heavy blow on the back of her neck. Before she could see who it was, her eyes rolled back and she fell into darkness.
The man in black carried the unconscious Yin Chujin and disappeared outside the low wall of the courtyard…
