The next day, Ji Chengjun pushed open the window. The world was a vast expanse of white.
Ji Chengjun had arrived at Bamboo Ink Quarter early in the morning, and his anxious heart was slightly relieved. Although Ji Chengyang's condition had not changed for the better, and his face had regained some color, he would probably be able to drink the medicine today.
In less than two hours, Ji Xunyuan came over. Beside him was Aunt Du, who was dressed in a red coat and skirt, making her look as beautiful as a lotus flower.
Seeing the faint green color under Ji Xunyuan's eyes, Ji Chengjun knew that her father must have been as restless as she was last night. She was stunned when she saw that Aunt Du's eyes, which should have been watery, were now bloodshot.
Ji Chengyang's servant girl, Yu Huan, came in with a bowl of black medicine. Her hands were red from the cold, and the flesh on her fingers was cut open. It was even eye-catching.
Aunt Du looked away impatiently and avoided the jade ring in disgust. She walked to Ji Xunyuan's side, wishing she could stick her entire body to him."Yang 'er's complexion is much better. As expected, he has the protection of the Ji family's ancestors. I believe he will wake up soon.”
Upon hearing this, Ji Chengjun narrowed his eyes and smiled at her."If that's the case, then I'll stand here and help my younger brother borrow YiNiang's blessings.”
Yuhuan knelt on the tatami and was about to feed the medicine to Ji Chengyang when a big dog suddenly jumped out of the house. The little girl was so frightened that she threw the bowl on the floor.
Everyone was caught off guard and quickly dispersed. Aunt Du was so frightened that her face turned pale. She timidly hid behind Ji Xunyuan and shouted anxiously,""Quick, catch this beast."
The dog was originally silent, but when it heard Aunt Du's scream, it immediately roared,""Woof…Woof…"
It jumped around and finally stopped beside Yu Huan, scaring the little girl so much that she almost fainted.
The big dog sniffed the medicine on the ground and licked it with its long tongue. He tried the medicine and found that it didn't taste good, so he continued to jump up and down.
Just as Qing You was about to bring the rope to catch it, the big dog suddenly slammed its head on the ground crazily. A moment later, white foam came out of its mouth and it fell to the ground, howling and moaning."Woof…Wuwuwu…"
Suddenly, the situation changed drastically. Everyone watched the dog die with dumbfounded eyes.
Ji Chengjun seemed to have suddenly reacted, and his words instantly set off a storm."That dog licked my brother's medicine and was poisoned to death.”
The room was so quiet that even a silver needle could be heard clearly.
Instantly, Ji Xun's anger soared to the sky and he was so furious that he flew into a rage."Someone actually dared to poison my son!”
The maidservants trembled and knelt on the ground. Aunt Du was also shaken.
No one dared to make a sound. Ji Chengjun's red lips curled into a faint smile.
Ji Xun's face was flushed red and his veins were bulging. He would never have thought that someone would try to kill Ji Chengyang again in his mansion. Moreover, they would try to poison his son right under his nose.
"Investigate, investigate thoroughly!" Ji Xunyuan's thunderous voice reverberated in Ji Chengjun's ears.
"I'm the High Duke's Public House, but I've actually let the criminals take advantage of me time and time again. Wouldn't I be a joke if word gets out?”Li Xunyuan would never have thought that someone would dare to poison Ji Chengyang right in front of him.
"Yang 'er, my poor Yang' er, why is there someone who won't let you go when you're already like this? YiNiang will definitely not let them off!" Aunt Du cried again, and her bloodshot eyes became even more swollen. It was as if a gust of wind could blow him down.
Ji Xunyuan couldn't bear to see this, even though he didn't have a good impression of Aunt Du. After all, she was sincere to Ji Chengyang and had contributed greatly to the Ji family. He reached out to help her. Aunt Du saw Ji Xunyuan's actions and leaned into his arms. Her actions made everyone feel that she was a good aunt.
Ji Chengjun sneered in his heart. This time, he was crying. It was probably not because Ji Chengyang had almost been killed, but because he had not been poisoned to death, which made her heartbroken.
Only Ji Chengjun saw the momentary fear that flashed through Aunt Du's sorrowful eyes. If he hadn't done anything wrong, why would he be so flustered for a moment?
It was just that Aunt Du's fiery and pure acting skills had managed to fool everyone in the Ji residence. Even Ji Xunyuan, who had narrowly escaped death in the killing field and experienced the power struggles and mutual deception in the officialdom, did not notice it. He felt that he was ashamed of this woman.
Ji Xunyuan put away his uncontrollable emotions and said indifferently,
"Alright, I'll investigate this matter.”
She moved Aunt Du away from her side. After all, Ji Xunyuan was still ranked second. He was passionate or close to Aunt Du. It always made Ji Xunyuan feel conflicted. Even though Ji Xunyuan felt apologetic and tried not to reject it. However, he still could not accept the overly intimate actions.
