The carriage slowly moved forward. It wasn't far from Drunken Moon Brothel to Dongfang Prefecture. In a short while, they arrived.
Dongfang Daren seemed to attach great importance to Xiao Yu's arrival and ordered the steward to wait outside the door with the maids and servants. Xiao Yu got off the carriage and the steward quickly came forward and said,"I heard that young master was assassinated in Drunken Moon Restaurant last night. It was really a sin. I wonder how young master is now.”
"Butler Qin, you're too polite. I'm fine."”
" Since Young Master is fine," Butler Qin said," come with me to see my master and madam. They have been waiting in the hall for a long time."”
Qin Ying led the way in front, and Xiao Yu followed him in. Xiao Jiu was led to the guest room by the servant.
After passing through the long corridor, a luxurious hall appeared in front of them. This Dongfang Manor was really rich.
When Dongfang Daren saw Xiao Yu arrive, he brought the Second Furen to welcome him: "Young Master must be tired from the journey. I have already ordered people to prepare a meal to welcome you.”
Xiao Yu said,"I'm not in a hurry. Your Excellency invited me here for nothing more than your son's illness. It's better to take me to see your son first."”
Old Master Dongfang looked very sad and said helplessly,""Young Master, please follow me."
Under Qin Ying's lead, the group of people came to a place that wasn't very lively. It looked very quiet, and bamboo was planted around it, making it look very elegant. Presumably, the Oriental Pearl Tower should be a handsome young master, but unfortunately, he was poisoned and made to look neither human nor ghost. Thinking of this, Xiao Yu frowned slightly.
Butler Qin opened the door and Xiao Yu walked in. The furnishings in the room were very simple. There were no expensive antiques or treasures, only a round wooden table and a desk. The room was so simple that Xiao Yu could not believe it. Didn't Master Dongfang love this son very much and treat him as a pearl in his palm, so he named him Pearl. Today, it seemed that all his previous guesses had been overturned when he saw the decorations in the Oriental Pearl Tower room.
Xiao Yu looked around and asked,"Dongfang Daren, can you tell me what happened?"”
Old Master Dongfang said with a sad face,""My son, Mingzhu, has been smart since he was young. He loves to read and has always been very steady. However, just last month, three murders happened in a row, and my son, Mingzhu, was the first to find their bodies. In order to not let others suspect my son, I locked him up. After that, my son seemed to be possessed. He either fell asleep or spoke nonsense. His behavior was like that of a madman.”
Just as Master Dongfang was speaking, the Oriental Pearl Tower suddenly woke up and saw the people in the room curled up in the corner like frightened little beasts. They looked at everyone in panic and then shouted,"Who are you? All of you, get out. Otherwise, I'll kill all of you.”
Master Dongfang and the Second Mistress of the Dongfang Family hurriedly stepped forward and held the Oriental Pearl down. Master Dongfang said sadly,""Son, look, we are father and mother.”
The Oriental Pearl looked at Lord Dongfang blankly and said with dull eyes,"I don't know you, I don't know you.”After saying that, he jumped up in a bad temper and scratched and scratched his body. There was not a single part of his body that was intact.
After Xiao Yu saw the Oriental Pearl, he went forward and pressed his acupuncture points. The Oriental Pearl fell down like a wooden figure. Master Dongfang quickly asked,"Young Master, what do you think happened to my son?”
"Milord, I don't know what's wrong with your son right now. Let me treat him first before making a conclusion."”
"Then I'll leave it to you, Young Master." Master Dongfang cupped his hands.”
Xiao Yu said,"Then please go out first. Let me examine Young Master Ming Zhu carefully. I don't want anyone to disturb me."”
Dongfang Fu had long heard that Xiao Yu's behavior was not ordinary, and that he did not like to be disturbed when he treated people. Seeing him here today, it really confirmed those rumors.
Everyone had to leave, leaving only Xiao Yu and the Oriental Pearl TV in the room.
Xiao Yu opened the Oriental Pearl's eyelids and found that his pupils were dull and unfocused, as if he had encountered some kind of shock. He felt his pulse and made the most common diagnosis that a doctor should do.
"Young Master Dongfang, Young Master Dongfang." Xiao Yu tried to call the Oriental Pearl a few times.
Although the Oriental Pearl Tower could hear him, it still did not answer in panic. It only kept twisting its body, obviously very uncomfortable.
He was born into such a wealthy family and had no intention of fighting for fame and fortune. He should have been a carefree scholar who lived an enviable and even jealous life. But now, he had become like this. It really made one's heart ache. Who was so cruel to harm him like this? Could it be jealousy? But there were many rich young masters who were better than the Oriental Pearl Tower. Why did it have to be the Oriental Pearl Tower? A series of question marks hit Xiao Yu's heart.
Xiao Yu carefully felt the pulse of the Oriental Pearl. Suddenly, his eyes narrowed. He turned the Oriental Pearl over and lifted his clothes. As Xiao Yu had predicted, the back of the Oriental Pearl was covered with dense brown spots. Xiao Yu suddenly remembered that this poison came from Miao Jiang, and it was a poison that Miao Jiang people did not spread. This poison would make people confused and irritable. When those brown spots joined together, even the gods could not save them. Who was so ruthless to the Oriental Pearl Tower?
Xiao Yu opened the door, and Butler Qin had already left. Master Dongfang and Second Madam Dongfang, who were waiting outside the door, quickly came forward and asked,"Young Master Xiao, how is my son Mingzhu?”
Xiao Yu replied,"I can't judge Young Master Dongfang's illness at the moment. I'll go back and study it before I drug Young Master Dongfang."”
The Second Mistress's eyes dimmed as she said,"Could it be that Ming Zhu is really possessed? Even Young Master Ming Yue is helpless.”
Old Master Dongfang berated," Don't talk nonsense. Although Mingzhu isn't your biological son, Mingzhu has called you mother for nearly fifteen years. How can you curse him like this?"”
The Dongfang Second Mistress said with tears in her eyes,""Old Master, how can you say that about me? I'm also worried about Mingzhu.”
"Don't say anymore. You can go down first." Old Master Dongfang said angrily.”
The Dongfang Second Mistress wiped her tears and left angrily, leaving behind the angry and worried Dongfang Fu and Xiao Yu.
"In Young Master's opinion, is my son sick or poisoned?" Dongfang Fu asked.”
"It's hard to say. I can't come to a conclusion with certainty."”
Dongfang Fu sighed,"What sin have I committed? I only have one son."”
Xiao Yu cupped his hands and said,"Lord Dongfang, I'll go back and study it first. I'll come back to treat Young Master when I have a clue."”
Dongfang Fu nodded and ordered the servants to bring Xiao Yu to the guest room to rest. Xiao Yu did not ask much about Dongfang Mingyue.
On this day, Xiao Yu didn't go out, but seemed to be very seriously studying the signs of the Oriental Pearl. The Dongfang residence all thought that Young Master Dongfang was probably in danger, and even Young Master Mingyue was helpless about it.
"You clearly know that the Oriental Pearl Tower was poisoned, so why didn't you tell Dongfang Fu?”Meng Xiuming's voice came from outside Xiao Yu's room. In the darkness of the night, it seemed very light and ethereal.
" I think there's something fishy about this. The poison in the Oriental Pearl is the Heart-corroding Gu Poison of Miaojiang. But as far as I know, the people of Miaojiang will not spread their own unique poison, and the Oriental Pearl will not offend those people."”Xiao Yu appeared very calm. The poison of the Miaojiang was a poison that the people of Miaojiang were proud of. They would never spread it to outsiders, nor would they poison ordinary people, let alone a rich young master like the Oriental Pearl.
"A possible solution?" Meng Xiuming asked.
"Of course, but I want to find out who poisoned them and the culprit behind the scenes. Otherwise, the Dongfang family will never be at peace.”Xiao Yu said.
"Little Meng, you will help me, right?”Xiao Yu walked to the window. Meng Xiuming was hanging upside down on the window like a red bat. The moment their eyes met, it stirred up layers of ripples in Meng Xiuming's heart. In just an instant, Meng Xiuming landed.
"I'm just completing my mission. Everything else has nothing to do with me.”
"Why are you always so cold? I've never seen you smile before. I don't even dare to get close to you.”
"Because Seven Star Shadow Kill has no emotions.”When Meng Xiuming said this, he seemed to hear Meng Qixing coldly say,"The Seven Star Shadow Kill cannot have emotions. Once the Seven Star Shadow Kill has emotions, it will not be an assassin, but a prey to be hunted.”
"But doesn't the purple-robed Shadowkill his prey with a smile?”Xiao Yu asked.
The two of them looked at each other again, but there was not much change in Meng Xiuming's eyes. Then, he said,"Because you're not her target.”
"What if you become my prey?”Xiao Yu slowly approached Meng Xiuming. Meng Xiuming could clearly feel a warm breath blowing against his ears, and he couldn't help but tremble. In just an instant, Meng Xiuming flicked his hand and said,"Then let's see if Young Master Mingyue has the ability.”
Xiao Yu was once again knocked down to the ground by Meng Xiuming, and a very comical word appeared on his face. Xiao Yu quickly got up and shouted,"How can you treat me, a peerlessly beautiful Young Master Mingyue, like this? Won't you feel heartache if I break it?”
Meng Xiu Ming didn't pay attention to Xiao Yu's boasting. Xiao Yu listened to the sounds outside vigilantly and said in a low voice," Someone's coming, hurry up…"
Before he could finish his last few words, when Xiao Yu turned around again, Meng Xiuming was still nowhere to be seen. Xiao Yu sighed. What a good speed.
The footsteps outside the door stopped, and there was a knock on the door. There was also a gentle voice of a woman."Young Master Xiao, are you inside?"
He could tell that it was Dongfang Mingyue.
Xiao Yu opened the door. Sure enough, it was a lively beauty. He said,"It's so late. Is there anything wrong, Miss Dongfang?”
Dongfang Mingyue came in with bowls of porridge, which was still steaming. She said,""Young Master Xiao didn't go out the whole day, so I guess you didn't eat well, so I ordered the cook to make hibiscus porridge for you.”
Xiao Yu smiled and said," Miss Dongfang is really meticulous. I'll have to trouble you. I'll definitely enjoy this bowl of porridge slowly. It's getting late. Miss Dongfang, you should go back early. If that talkative person sees you and says something detrimental to your reputation, I can't afford it."”
Miss Dongfang had no intention of leaving, but she was still pushed out by Xiao Yu. Xiao Yu closed the door and took a deep breath. Miss Dongfang jumped helplessly outside the door. The bowl of porridge on the table was still steaming, as if it was very delicious.
"Why? With a beauty by his side, young master Xiao actually rejected a beauty outside the door.”Meng Xiuming walked out again like a ghost, his tone full of mockery.
Xiao Yu rubbed his eyebrows and said,"That depends on who it is."”
Not even a moment later, he still did not hear Meng Xiuming's reply.
Meng Xiu Ming disappeared again. Xiao Yu helplessly watched Meng Xiu Ming leave. He really came and went without a trace.
