In the Shangshu Mansion, the Lord Shangshu, who was talking to his wife, suddenly frowned and covered his chest with his hands. His chest was throbbing with pain, and he couldn't help but take a deep breath, and then he felt relieved.
God comes. It turns out that Master Shangshu suddenly felt like a needle pricking his chest.
The lady noticed that something was wrong with Lord Shangshu, so she hurried over and asked worriedly: "Master, what's wrong with you?"
Master Shangshu didn't say anything because his brows suddenly tightened, and his chest felt like a needle pricking him. The pain made his face turn blue. Suddenly, his mouth was scarlet, and a trace of black blood squeezed out from the corner of his mouth.
Madam Shangshu was dumbfounded and quickly supported the swaying Lord Shangshu.
Seeing Lord Shangshu vomiting blood, the lady panicked, supported Lord Shangshu, and asked in a panic: "Master, don't scare me, why did you suddenly vomit blood?"
Lord Shangshu sat down and wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief. Mrs. Shangshu came over with tea and asked Lord Shangshu to rinse his mouth.
Lord Shangshu took the tea cup and took a sip, intending to rinse his mouth, but he did not expect that the tea had a fishy smell.
"Poof!" Master Shangshu spat out a sip of tea, which was still stained with blood. There were two red Gu worms twisting in the water stains on the ground.
The lady was frightened by the poisonous insects spat out by Lord Shangshu, and she hid aside with a pale face. Seeing this, Lord Shangshu sneered.
Master Shangshu naturally knew why he vomited blood. The poisonous insects he just vomited out were the blood poisonous insects he had spent all his efforts to cultivate in his body. He should have been poisoned by someone, and the poisonous insects in his body escaped as if they were corroded.
.
If the person beside him was Aunt Yin when the poison took effect just now, she would definitely not be as panicked as Madam.
Master Shangshu smiled mockingly to himself. He knew that the blood poison he had raised was useless. From now on, he could no longer refine the poison and poison it.
After he coughed lightly, he said to his wife who had already turned pale with fright: "The blood poison has been destroyed and I am suffering from backlash. I'm afraid Xian'er will wake up soon. Go quickly, we must find a way to comfort him.
Don’t let him leave Shangshu Mansion.”
"Master, you can't live without someone to take care of me. Ah Lan, you stay and take care of me." Mrs. Shangshu said worriedly.
"No need, I will go to the study after a short rest. You and Alan can go and stop him quickly." Master Shangshu said.
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Shangshu hurriedly left the main courtyard and trotted all the way to the second young master's courtyard. Seeing that the gatekeeper was still outside the door, she felt relieved and slowed down her pace.
"Madam." The boy guarding the door said respectfully.
"Yes." Mrs. Shangshu responded and entered the courtyard. When she walked outside the door, she said to the servant standing outside the door: "Young Master is awake?"
"Back to Madam, the young master should not be awake yet, otherwise he would not be so quiet." The servant whispered.
"Isn't the eldest lady here?" Madam Shangshu asked.
"Back to Madam, the eldest lady has not come. Even if the eldest lady comes, we will not let the eldest lady in." The servant said respectfully.
Mrs. Shangshu breathed a sigh of relief and took Alan into the house. However, she found that the bed was empty. Where could the second young master be seen?
Alan walked over to test the temperature and said, "Madam, the bedding is all cold. It seems that the young master has woken up a long time ago."
Mrs. Shangshu panicked and shouted quickly, "Come here, hurry, the young master is gone."
The servants who were guarding the second young master's yard were surprised. In addition to guarding the young master's house, there were also a few people staying outside the yard. Even if the young master woke up, he could not escape their eyes. Because, he was not only guarding the door, but also
There were two people standing even outside the window. When they heard that the young master was missing, they would naturally be surprised. How could the second young master disappear out of thin air?
After searching the whole yard, not even a single person was seen. The lady was extremely anxious and gathered everyone together to ask questions.
"Tell me, why are you looking at the young master?" the lady said coldly.
"Damn it! I didn't find out when the second young master woke up, and I don't know how he left the room." The servant guarding the door said.
"Madam, all the slaves saw it when I just came in. I shouldn't say it. These people almost surrounded the courtyard. Those who don't know think that the imperial court's felons are locked up here? If the young master wakes up, how could they do it?
Didn't you realize it at all?" Alan thought for a while and said.
"Then tell me, why is this?" Mrs. Shangshu said.
"Madam, don't you think something is wrong? The young master is indeed good at Qinggong, but after he was poisoned, it was like taking Ruanjin Powder. It is absolutely impossible for him to leave the Shangshu Mansion without telling everyone." Ah.
Lan said.
"Could it be that Xian'er was taken away by someone?" After hearing A Lan's words, Madam not only did not relax, but became even more nervous.
"Madam, we should tell the master about this as soon as possible, or wait for the master's instructions." Alan said.
After Mrs. Shangshu calmed down, she nodded and said, "Okay."
"Remember, watch your mouth, or I will pull out your tongue." Mrs. Shangshu said coldly.
"Yes." The servant responded.
After Mrs. Shangshu left, she went directly to the study. But when they were about to reach the study, Mrs. Shangshu stopped.
"Alan, the master said he suffered a backlash. If we go over now, will we disturb him?" Mrs. Shangshu thought of what just happened in the main courtyard. She was worried that Lord Shangshu would be irritated after hearing the news.
"Madam, we have searched the entire yard just now, and there is no trace of the young master at all. As you just said, if the young master is taken away, wouldn't it be an even greater threat to the master?" Alan analyzed.
Mrs. Shangshu was like an ant on a hot pot, not knowing what to do. She knew that if the master knew about this matter, he would probably go crazy. But if he didn't let the master know about it, just as Alan said, he would be captured.
I'm afraid Xian'er's people will also threaten the master.
Mrs. Shangshu didn't care so much anymore, and walked quickly outside the study. She was afraid of disturbing the master, so she knocked gently on the door, but there was no sound from inside for a long time. Mrs. Shangshu had no choice but to bite the bullet and gently knock again.
Knocked on the door. There was no response from the study. Mrs. Shangshu felt that something was wrong, so she pushed the study door open.
"Master?" Mrs. Shangshu shouted.
When Mrs. Shangshu opened the door, she saw Mr. Shangshu lying on the ground, with blood stains still on the corners of his mouth. Seeing this, Mrs. Shangshu knelt on the ground.
After Lord Shangshu heard the sound, he slowly opened his eyes. He was very weak. He looked at Madam Shangshu and said, "Bring the pills on the table, quickly."
Madam Shangshu raised her head and gave Alan a wink. Alan walked in and took the medicine bottle. Madam Shangshu poured out a pill and stuffed it into Lord Shangshu's mouth. After a quarter of an hour, Shangshu slowly became alive.
.
The lady called two servants, supported the master and returned to the main courtyard. Mrs. Shangshu followed behind, thinking that the master must not know about Xian'er.
Lord Shangshu had already laid down, and his wife came over and asked worriedly: "Master, aren't you detoxifying in the study? Why are you lying on the ground?"
Mrs. Shangshu was a little scared. If it hadn't been for Alan's persuasion, she probably wouldn't have found Mr. Shangshu lying in the study.
"No problem, where is Xian'er? He's not awake yet?" Master Shangshu asked.
Mrs. Shangshu didn't hesitate and said: "Well, he hasn't woken up yet. Master, don't worry about Xian'er. I will take good care of him. There are still some things you gave me. If he wakes up, I will take good care of him."
Just feed him some more."
Master Shangshu nodded, as if he really couldn't open his eyes. Soon, he fell into a deep sleep. Xian'er had disappeared, and she didn't want anything to happen to him. When she saw Master Shangshu asleep, she went to the outer room.
"Alan, what do you think we should do?" Mrs. Shangshu was at a loss for ideas.
"Madam, you can't hide this from me. What if something happens to the second young master?" Alan said.
"You also saw that the master's body is too weak, so what if you know?" Mrs. Shangshu said worriedly.
"But if someone uses the Second Young Master to cause trouble, wouldn't we be passive?" Alan said.
Mrs. Shangshu knew that Alan was right, but she was also worried about her master's safety. In the past, he didn't have to worry about these matters at all. But now that he has fallen, how could she ignore it?
"Madam, the young lady is here." said the maid guarding the door.
"Let her come in." Mrs. Shangshu said.
"I've met my mother," the eldest lady said softly.
"Yu'er, why are you here at this hour?" Mrs. Shangshu asked.
"Mom, I just saw so many people guarding my second brother's yard. Did something happen to my second brother?" the eldest lady said.
"Don't you hope your second brother will be better?" Mrs. Shangshu said.
"Isn't this strange? There have never been so many people in my second brother's yard. Suddenly there are many more people, so I am naturally curious." The eldest lady said.
"I didn't tell you before that your second brother was poisoned and he just got rid of the poison a few days ago. Therefore, he needs someone to take care of him." Mrs. Shangshu explained.
"The second brother was poisoned? Who was so cruel that he poisoned the second brother?" the eldest lady asked in confusion.
"These are minor. The important thing is that your second brother needs a good rest." Mrs. Shangshu said.
"Yu'er knew, so she didn't bother him. It's just mother, You'er has been intercepted by you for so long, and I have never seen You'er. Where did you take You'er?" said the eldest lady.
It turns out that the eldest lady came here today for the sake of You'er's safety. She knew that her mother might take it out on her, but she had no way to stop her and had to let her mother borrow it.
When Mrs. Shangshu heard the eldest lady mentioning You'er, she said unnaturally: "Yu'er, why do you want to take your maid back as soon as possible every time you bring her back? Don't worry, my mother-in-law."
It won't hurt her."
After hearing this, the eldest lady frowned slightly and said, "But you know my relationship with You'er. You always took it out on her in the past. It's not that I don't know, but this time it's been so long and you haven't tortured me enough?
"
The eldest lady's words were a bit harsh, but she told the truth. Mrs. Shangshu treated You'er like this just to torture her. As long as she saw You'er in pain, she felt particularly happy. She knew that Yu'er and You'er were sisters, so they were just like sisters.
That's why she tortured the child.
But if it was normal, she would have sent You'er back long ago. But now that You'er has disappeared from the secret room, how should she explain to Yu'er?
