Although Lu Peng's life was saved, he had become like this. An elder from the clan came forward to check and exclaimed: "I'm afraid this kid only has less than a year to live."
Several elders were also shocked. They stepped forward to check Lu Peng's pulse one after another, and the results were surprisingly consistent. It seemed that not only did the other party look older, but his entire body was also aging simultaneously.
.
"What should we do? This guy just got married to the eldest lady, so... ugh." One of the old men sighed.
The faces of the other people were equally solemn. It wasn't that they thought highly of Lu Peng, but according to their original idea, they expected Lu Peng and "Miss Gongsun" to give birth to a child as soon as possible for them to teach.
More importantly, Lu Peng was the most valued descendant of Gongsun Huan. Now that the head of the family is away, he has entrusted the people and the wedding to them. As a result, such a situation has occurred. When the time comes for accountability, no one can escape.
Gongsun Wang had already left quietly, and the remaining elders looked at another respected elder. Feeling the gazes of everyone, the elder sighed: "You can't escape by running away. Everyone, please go back first and take care of yourself."
Check some classics, maybe there is some way to save it."
This is actually equivalent to giving up. They are all old scholars who have studied medicine all their lives. Since there is no way now, even if they read books for two days, they are unlikely to make any breakthrough in the current situation.
Another old man frowned and looked at the maid who bowed her head in silence and asked, "Why isn't the eldest lady here?"
Today is obviously the wedding day of "Miss Gongsun", but there is no newlywed in the new house.
The maid in question stepped forward and answered: "Report to the elder, the eldest lady - she said that my uncle needs to rest after this difficulty, so she won't disturb him."
In fact, Yan'er's original words were even more direct. She also bluntly said that Lu Peng had become an old man and had no intention of consummating the marriage, so it would be meaningless for her to stay any longer.
But the attendants did not dare to convey such words. They did not say it politely and were extremely treasonous.
"Alas." The old man sighed slightly, and the others shook their heads and sighed in the same way.
Now that this great gift has come to pass, the two of them have become a couple even if they don't want to. Although Lu Peng is not a thing, Yan'er gave up on him without hesitation and became a little more indifferent. Now the two of them may not even be able to be a superficial couple.
Already.
But there is no need for everyone to worry about this matter. After all, judging from Lu Peng's current situation, the relationship between the two of them as a couple is really limited. It may take less than a year for Yan'er to become a widow, but there is no need to force them to be together.
.
At this moment, Yan'er had already changed out of her wedding clothes. She came alone to a well-guarded courtyard, found an inconspicuous corner and waited quietly.
After about half a stick of incense, a person walked out of the yard. It was the mysterious person who broke into Yan'er's boudoir two nights ago.
Yan'er watched him go away intently, and then asked the maid accompanying him: "Have you investigated everything I asked you to investigate?"
The maid looked around, and then replied in a low voice: "Miss, we've checked everything. The man's name is Wang Er. He works in the kitchen. He is responsible for delivering meals here on weekdays, so he basically won't be in front of us."
Show up."
Yan'er narrowed her eyes. She knew that this remote courtyard was like a "cell" in the Gongsun family. It was a place specially used to punish the disciples who made mistakes. However, in the past six months, no one of the family members had committed any crime.
Daguo was imprisoned here.
But this does not mean that there is no one in this courtyard. For example, the little devil girl Qu Lianqin is imprisoned here.
Since this mysterious man had the ability to sneak into Gongsun's house, he couldn't choose a good position and insisted on working in the most dangerous place. This is definitely not an accident.
Yan'er pondered for a long time, and the dark clouds in her heart gradually dispersed, and the truth she could see clearly gradually became clearer. If she guessed correctly, this person might have been inserted by the Xuantian Sect to support the little demon girl.
"You go and wait in the back first," Yan'er suddenly ordered the maid beside him: "Remember, if you meet anyone, don't mention that I have been here."
"Yes..." The maid left in response. She was Yan'er's personal attendant. After six months of getting along, the master and servant had become close to each other. She was one of the few people Yan'er could trust.
Yan'er had doubts in her heart, and she bravely followed Wang Er, but the other man walked like the wind and disappeared in the blink of an eye, making it impossible for her to catch up.
Just when Yan'er was feeling upset, Wang Er quietly appeared behind her again: "I wonder why the eldest lady is looking for me?"
Yan'er was startled and quickly turned around and took two steps back. She stared at Wang Er coldly and said: "You are so brave. You dare to stay at home anonymously. The elders are investigating the matter of Lu Peng's poisoning. You are not afraid that I will let him go with just one word."
Are you dead?"
Wang Er chuckled: "Miss, are you kidding me? The murderer who poisoned me is not just a subordinate."
Yan'er was speechless, but still said forcefully: "What you asked me to do has been done. When do you plan to fulfill your promise?"
Wang Er said sincerely: "The eldest lady is neat with her hands and feet. I admire you very much. However, Young Master Gongsun is the former young master after all. Now that Lu Peng has been poisoned, his every move will definitely attract attention. I'm afraid it would be inappropriate to take action now..."
..”
Yan'er knew that although the other party was trying to evade, what he said was not unreasonable, but now being led by someone's nose still made her feel uneasy, so she changed her mind and sneered: "You spent so much time sneaking into Gongsun's house, don't you?"
Maybe it’s just for a mere Lu Peng?”
"Oh?" Wang Er narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this: "What do you mean, Miss?"
Seeing the change in the other party's expression, Yan'er was even more sure of what she was thinking. She continued: "You know who is being held captive in that yard. There are many inconspicuous people in the Gongsun family, so you chose this place."
, isn’t it intentional?”
Wang Er's eyes gradually changed, and he said with an innocent smile: "Miss, please be aware of Hui Yiyao."
Yan'er stared at Wang Er and said in a serious voice: "I only give you three days. If you can't get what I want, I will tell the family exactly what your Xuantian Sect has arranged."
Wang Er grabbed Yan'er's neck like lightning, his eyes full of murderous intent. The latter had no martial arts skills and was unable to resist, but he did not show any fear at all, but with sarcastic eyes.
Repay him.
"hehe."
Smiling softly, Wang Er suddenly let go of his hand and said calmly: "Three days is too tight. Within ten days, the eldest lady will definitely get what she wants. In this way, eldest lady, are you satisfied?"
Yan'er held her chest and gasped, raised her head and glanced at Wang Er, but said nothing, which was considered acquiescence.
Wang Er bent down and bowed, a slight apology, but when he turned around, the murderous look and coldness in his eyes turned into a mockery of the fool.
