"Young Lady, the doctor means that Young Lady's illness is a bit serious and it might not be able to be cured before the palace banquet, but we can't miss this palace banquet.”
The servant girl whispered into Xiao Yu's ear as she brought a warm hand over to Xiao Yu. Seeing that Xiao Yu was covered in sweat, she sighed,"Lady, please don't go against your own body. I think Xiao Xun is smart. She probably never thought of harming you from the beginning. It's just that too many people went there. For some reason, she harmed you and let Xiao Ling and Xiao Lingyin escape.”
Xiao Yu sat on the bed, deep in thought. However, his eyes were filled with ruthlessness.
"Young Lady should quickly recuperate and strive to recover. Moreover, we will go to Fifth Young Lady's place tomorrow. After all, Fifth Young Lady was the one who drugged her. If Young Lady wants to recover, naturally you will look for her.”
The servant girl consoled him again, and Xiao Yu's expression became a little better.
After a while, the sky was already a little brighter.
However, who knew how many things were still unclear in the Xiao Family Compound.
When Xiao Ling woke up early in the morning, he felt a little light-headed, but he was not stiff. He sat on the bed for a while and recovered.
Su Yan came in through the door and looked around carefully. She ran over and said to Xiao Ling carefully,""Young Lady, everything is done. That servant girl is this servant's good sister, Young Lady can rest assured.”
Xiao Ling nodded, and his heart relaxed a little.
At that moment, Jin Niang came in with a new set of clothes, some towels, and hot water to help Xiao Ling get dressed.
It was not too late now. The people in the courtyard probably knew what had happened yesterday. Speaking of which, Xiao Ling and Xiao Lingyin were to blame. Even if they were just to express their feelings, they still had to go to Miss Chen's place.
Sure enough, the moment she stepped out, she saw Xiao Lingyin standing at the entrance of her courtyard.
"Big Sister woke up really early. Little Sister thought that she would go to the door to invite you.”
Xiao Lingyin leaned over with a smile. When she was a little closer to Xiao Ling, she could feel that Xiao Ling did not look well.
"Can I let you treat me? It was a sin to let such a charming person like his sister wait at the door.”
Xiao Ling's lips curled into a smile. The radiance on his face was still mesmerizing, but the dispirited look on his face was obvious. This made Xiao Lingyin even more worried.
"Don't worry, I'm fine."
Xiao Ling patted the back of her hand, probably to comfort her. He thought about it and smiled."It's just that Xiao Xun and Xiao Yu are really unlucky.”
Xiao Lingyin raised an eyebrow. Seeing Xiao Ling like this, she felt that he must have done something.
"What did you do this time?"
" I really can't hide anything from you," Xiao Ling smiled." I just don't know if those people in the courtyard know more than you do."”
"Tell me about it. I haven't seen you in those days, but you're already so powerful.”
Xiao Lingyin was also filled with shock but she laughed even more.
In the past, when Xiao Ling was not mature, she would run around to cover for him. Now, Xiao Ling suddenly understood these things and was even more powerful than her. Xiao Lingyin was delighted.
Xiao Ling also understood that Xiao Lingyin was genuinely doing this for her own good, so she smiled and carefully held Xiao Lingyin's hand. The two of them walked through the Xiao family's courtyard, and the servant girls on both sides followed them carefully. For a moment, they felt like they were stepping on a warm spring breeze. It was not bad.
"I'm afraid that Xiao Xun harbors a grudge against me, so she went to look for Xiao Yu. Xiao Yu lured her to look for Xiao Qing, but I don't know what they discussed exactly. However, the three of them knew about it. Xiao Xun originally only wanted to invite me, but the two of us went together with Xiao Yu.”
Xiao Lingyin was startled and asked Xiao Xun,"Didn't I only give it to you? You didn't let me drink it at that time, probably because you gave it to me?”
"She did give it to me, and she also gave it to you.”Xiao Ling curled his lips into a sarcastic smile.""It's probably because the three of us were at the palace banquet and only she wasn't. In a moment of desperation, Xiao Xun gave us all a drink.”
After a pause, Xiao Ling continued," After she was done, Xiao Xun probably panicked. If all three of us were sick and she was the only one who wasn't sick, it wouldn't make sense. So, she drugged herself as well. However, it was obvious that she didn't use as much.”
Xiao Lingyin's eyes widened as she covered her mouth,"Then we didn't drink that medicine. The two of them are unlucky.”
Xiao Ling smiled. His expression was calm, but there was a sharp look between his brows."The matter is not over yet."
Xiao Lingyin was shocked and looked at Xiao Ling.""Could it be that they still have a backup plan?”
"I don't know if they have any backup plans, but I'm not easy to bully either. It's a joke to let people climb up like this.”
Xiao Ling snorted and glanced around. They were already not far from the Chen family's residence. He smiled and said,""I arranged for a little servant girl to say something to Xiao Xun's personal maid. I can't guarantee anything else, but it will definitely cause Xiao Xun and Xiao Yu to fall out.”
Xiao Lingyin was smart. She understood what Xiao Ling meant after some thought and gave him a thumbs up.
Xiao Ling only lowered his head and smiled. When the two of them reached the entrance of the Chen family, his expression turned solemn.
Miss Chen was not easy to get along with.
After Xiao Ling and Xiao Lingyin went in to pay their respects, Miss Chen did everything she could to talk to Xiao Ling so that he would make a mistake in his speech. She would then be able to use her as leverage and pin the matter on Xiao Ling.
However, Xiao Ling was very sly and managed to choke Miss Chen back with a few words. Xiao Lingyin did not say much, but Miss Chen did not dare to pay attention to Xiao Lingyin.
Not to mention that Xiao Lingyin wasn't in her room, even the third room wasn't easy to clean up.
Miss Chen was furious, but she could only send Xiao Ling and Xiao Lingyin away with a smile. As soon as the two girls left, Miss Chen was so angry that she threw a teacup aside.
"Truly trash! Xiao Xun got my thing for free!”
Miss Chen's expression was cold, and she spoke without any scruples. She only reacted after she finished speaking. When she saw that there was no one around, she heaved a sigh of relief.
A servant girl at the side saw Miss Chen's expression and carefully came over."Furen, then should we send this antidote to Second Young Lady and Fifth Young Lady?”
Miss Chen smiled coldly and said,""If you're sick, then go. What else can you do?”
Hearing this, the servant girl stopped talking.
No matter how much Xiao Yu thought about it, he would never have thought that Miss Chen had secretly gotten the medicine for Xiao Xun. Even Xiao Xun thought that she had found the way, but she did not expect it to be designed by someone.
"Tell Xiao Qing to pay more attention to her calligraphy and zither scores. At the palace banquet, there will definitely be many young talents, so she can be betrothed to a good son.”
Miss Chen heaved a sigh of relief and instructed the servant girl beside her,"As for these girls, they can fight to the death, as long as they don't hinder Xiao Qing.”
The servant girl received the order and left.
Miss Chen had just heaved a sigh of relief, but just as she lay down on the soft couch, in less than a quarter of an hour, another servant girl's voice came from outside.
Miss Chen was a little impatient. She wanted to scold him, but she heard the voice of her personal servant girl.
"Come in."
A servant girl carefully walked in from the door and walked all the way to Miss Chen's side. Her posture was very careful. She leaned close to Miss Chen and said some words. The more she said, the brighter Miss Chen's eyes became.
"Good!"
When Miss Chen heard this, she became spirited. She straightened her back and looked expectant."Is it true now? Does Master know?"
The servant girl carefully replied," Yes, Master knows about it too. Master is doing business outside and hasn't returned yet. He's worried about returning late."”
"Where are they?"
Miss Chen stood up and happened to see herself in the bronze mirror. Her makeup was decent, so she didn't wait any longer. There was a scheming and ruthless look between her brows."Bring me there!"
When the servant girl saw Miss Chen like this, she did not dare to raise her head and lowered her head in response.
Miss Chen was smiling, but she gritted her teeth and thought,'Xiao Ling, I have evidence against you. Let's see!'
The atmosphere in the Xiao Family Compound had always been quiet and peaceful. At least, it seemed like that on the surface. However, it did not seem to be the case now.
"Kneel down!"
The Second Old Mistress and the Old Mistress stood in front of the hall and looked at the three men below as they spoke coldly.
It was not appropriate to call them three men. They were the eldest son of the Xiao family, Xiao Yuxuan, and the second son of the Xiao family, Xiao Tingyun. The remaining Xiao Xiao could only be considered a child.
Hearing this, Xiao Yuxuan pursed her lips and knelt down. Xiao Tingyun stood upright while Xiao Xiao hesitated for a moment before kneeling down as well.
"Tingyun, Grandmother has never told you about your usual pestering. It's your father who has allowed you to cause such a huge disaster today!”
The old lady looked at Xiao Tingyun with a gloomy expression. After she finished speaking coldly, she looked at Xiao Yuxuan and said,"Eldest Brother of the Xiao family, explain the matter clearly. Grandmother has always believed that you are an obedient, sensible, and sensible person.”
The eldest son of the Xiao family lowered his head slightly and said respectfully,"Grandmother, I don't know the details of what happened. I only saw those people fighting with the second and third brothers. I was afraid that my two younger brothers would be at a disadvantage, so I brought the servants to stop them.”
At that moment, Xiao Xiao suddenly raised her head and said,""Great Grandmother, this matter is not our fault. It's those people who have repeatedly failed to appreciate kindness. We have already helped Second Brother pay off his gambling debts, but they came to provoke us again.”
"Nonsense!"
The old lady's walking stick fell to the ground fiercely. She was so angry that she was almost fuming."Do you know how far this matter has spread? The Xiao family's face is almost completely lost by you!”
