"Miss, don't worry. Dong Lei will always be by Young Master's side and won't let any suspicious people get close.”
Ji Chengjun looked at Ji Chengyang, who was lying on the wooden bed made of chicken wings. The scars on his face had receded quite a bit, and his already thin face had become even thinner. His facial features were exquisite and his eyebrows were like ink paintings. Her curved eyelashes and long eyelids, lips as beautiful as cherry blossoms, and skin as delicate as porcelain. If not for the injury on her face, she would have looked like a sleeping child. Yet, he had to suffer such a huge disaster.
Ji Chengjun had mixed feelings.
"Xiafeng, come back with me."
"Yes, Miss!"
In the summer breeze, Granny Li brought Yuhuan back to Ink Rain Villa with Ji Chengjun.
Before they entered the courtyard, Yue Bai came out to welcome them and reported,
"Miss, Miss Gu is here. He waited in the room for a long time. He said he wanted to see you."
Sure enough, she was everywhere. How could Gu Xianxiang not come and take a look at such a big event?
Ji Chengjun sneered. He turned around and instructed.
"Xiafeng, take Yuhuan to the side room.”
Xia Feng led Yuhuan to a side room.
Yu Huan looked at Ji Chengjun pitifully, her eyes filled with grievance.
"I'm not a bad person. I was wronged. Please save me."
Ji Chengjun's expression softened a little, and he waved his hand at Yu Huan with a smile.
"Follow Xia Feng to the side room first. Don't worry, I won't blame a good person wrongly.”
When Yu Huan saw the gentleness in Ji Chengjun's eyes, she knew that she was willing and did not believe that she was the one who wanted to harm Young Master. She instantly heaved a sigh of relief.
Yuhuan was glad that she wasn't taken away by Aunt Du. Otherwise, she would have been beaten by Aunt Du's nanny today. Perhaps she would directly die.
"No, no, what can big sister hide from little sister? The elder sister only felt sorry for the younger sister's hands. What if there were scars left on her delicate hands in the future?”After saying that, her eyes turned red again.
Before he entered the house, Gu Xianxiang came up from afar. She frowned and her face was still pale from the last time she fell into the water.
She was wearing a dark blue brocade dress with white plum blossoms embroidered on it. She used a white brocade belt to tie her slender waist. He wore a white mink coat. She tied her black hair into a bun and only inserted a white jade hairpin with plum blossoms. Although it was simple, it looked fresh and elegant.. She applied a thin layer of makeup on her face. Walking with lotus steps.
It was in line with Gu Xianxiang's usual style. She never dressed up elegantly and always kept a low profile.
She did not want people to say that she had lost her status and was too ostentatious. She wouldn't let others think that her status was low. Whether it was the white jade hairpin or the white mink fur coat, they were both expensive.
Gu Xianxiang had put in a lot of effort. In her previous life, Ji Chengjun had never cared about these things.
Now, it seemed that Gu Xianxiang's meticulous mind was much deeper than she had imagined.
It seemed that he had to be on guard against this person at all times.
"Little sister, little sister, you're finally back.”
Gu Xianxiang's weak voice sounded like she was about to cry.
"I just woke up and heard that Yang 'er was seriously injured. Where are you hurt?"
Gu Xianxiang, who was far away, had already pretended to glance at Ji Chengjun's hands that were hidden in his sleeves. Ji Chengjun took in all these small movements.
Someone must have informed Gu Xianxiang about Ji Chengjun and Ji Chengyang.
Gu Xianxiang personally rushed over to investigate. He also wanted to see if it was really as serious as the servant girls said.
"Sister, you don't have to take it to heart. Sister is fine." Ji Chengjun's face was indifferent. He did not intend to let Gu Xianxiang see the anxiety in his heart.
"Sister, what happened to your hand? Was it that serious? Younger Sister said that she's fine?"
Gu Xianxiang seemed to have just noticed Ji Chengjun's hands that were wrapped like radishes with his sleeves. Her small face flushed red and she coughed lightly.
"If something happens to Younger Sister, what should I do?”
After saying that, she started crying.
Ji Chengjun was already familiar with Gu Xianxiang's measurement.
"Older Sister's body hasn't recovered yet, but she's always paying attention to Younger Sister. I'm so touched!"
Ji Chengjun's recent words always made Gu Xianxiang feel strange, but after thinking about it carefully, she did not feel that there was anything wrong. However, the moment he heard it, he felt a little awkward.
It was a little different from the way Ji Chengjun spoke previously. Gu Xianxiang thought to herself,'Ever since the last time I fell into the water, Ji Chengjun's style of speech has changed a little. His personality has also changed a little.”Gu Xianxiang frowned subtly as she thought about Ji Chengjun's change. "Could it be that there was something wrong with my words and actions that Ji Chengjun saw through?”Gu Xianxiang became more and more uneasy. "Or did Ji Chengjun know that he pushed her into the water on purpose and not by accident?”
Gu Xianxiang became uneasy as she continued to guess.
"What's wrong? Sister has thoughts? Why don't you tell your sister? If there was anything troubling her, her younger sister could also help her elder sister solve her problems!”
Ji Chengjun knew what Gu Xianxiang was thinking, but she did not want Gu Xianxiang to notice her too soon. If Gu Xianxiang was prepared, it would not be easy to expose her true colors later. Ji Chengjun had experienced Gu Xianxiang's cautiousness and shrewdness in his previous life.
If it wasn't for Big Sister risking her life to help her last time, how could Little Sister have today? The younger sister knew exactly how her elder sister treated her younger sister. Even if her elder sister didn't come, her younger sister knew that her elder sister was worried about her and would take good care of herself.”
Ji Chengjun's words seemed to have reassured Gu Xianxiang and dispelled her worries.
Perhaps it was because of the shock from falling into the water last time that Ji Chengjun's behavior and personality were a little different from usual. Gu Xianxiang heaved a sigh of relief.
"It's good that Younger Sister knows. Older Sister is always worried about you. I hear that your old wounds have not healed, and new wounds have been added. He was very anxious. "Cough, cough, cough." Gu Xianxiang coughed a few times, and her snow-white face was slightly red.
Ji Chengjun did not intend to continue pestering Gu Xianxiang. She had more important things to do. Yuhuan was still in the side courtyard, waiting for her to deal with it. Ji Chengyang's poisoning incident was also waiting for her to deal with. It was a waste of his precious time to pretend to be friendly with Gu Xianxiang.
"Sister, look, it's already late. Your body hasn't recovered yet. Go back and rest first."
"Alright, look at me. I was worried about your injuries and delayed your rest. Rest well. Big Sister will come to see you again the next day." Gu Xianxiang was just here for show and didn't plan to stay any longer. She was crying and laughing, and her face was a little stiff. It was time to leave.
"Sister, you don't have to come to my place in the snow. When the weather is clear, I will go to Lotus Fragrance Court to visit you.”
Gu Xianxiang stood up and bowed slightly to Ji Chengjun to bid him farewell. Ji Chengjun returned the courtesy.
"Then, I'll take my leave." Gu Xianxiang then walked out of the room with Yue Hong supporting her.
Ji Chengjun looked at the scar on Yue Hong's head that had yet to heal and laughed in his heart. Now that you've satisfied your wish to fly out, you've received such treatment. It's really funny.
Ji Chengjun watched as Gu Xianxiang walked out of the outer courtyard of Ink Rain Building.
"Granny Li, follow me to the side courtyard.”Ji Chengjun hurried to the side courtyard.
When Yu Huan saw Ji Chengjun, she cried out again,
"Young miss, I really don't know why young master's medicine is poisoned. It was true that Yuhuan had personally brewed the medicine, and it was also true that Yuhuan had always taken care of it. How did this become poison? Yuhuan really didn't know.”Yu Huan explained in fear.
"You don't have to be so flustered. I know you didn't put the poison in there. That's why I want you back. Tell me, when you were brewing medicine for Young Master, did you slack off and let someone else take over?”Ji Chengjun narrowed his eyes and asked. It was as if he had seen it with his own eyes, but it sounded like a question, but in fact, every word he said was certain.
"This servant deserves to die! This servant deserves to die!" Yu Huan trembled at Ji Chengjun's question and hurriedly knelt on the ground.
"This servant did not slack off. When this servant was brewing medicine today, my stomach felt a little uncomfortable. Coincidentally, I saw Qiu Ju come to the kitchen. This servant, this servant asked her to help look after Young Master's medicine. When this servant came back, Qiu Ju was gone.”
"Autumn chrysanthemum? The Qiu Ju beside Aunt Du. Isn't that right?" Ji Chengjun didn't look surprised, as if he already knew.
"Yes, she is Aunt Du's personal maid.”Yu Huan thought to herself, could it be Qiu Ju? Impossible, how could Qiu Ju harm Young Master? Qiu Ju would not use this matter to harm him. Yu Huan found it hard to believe her own guess.
Ji Chengjun snorted coldly.
Fortunately, after Ji Chengyang's accident, Ji Chengjun was afraid that someone would hurt him again. He sent Xia Feng to protect him in secret, especially in the area of brewing and picking herbs. After all, the person behind the scenes had not been found out yet, although Ji Chengjun had already known in his heart. As long as there was no evidence, even if Ji Chengjun knew, it would be useless.
This morning, Xia Feng left when he saw Yuhuan boiling the medicine and asked Aunt Du's maid Qiu Ju to help take care of it. Ji Chengjun instructed Xia Feng not to get too close, but he had to be careful. She could not let the person who was secretly causing trouble find out, nor could she let Ji Chengyang get hurt.
Not long after Yu Huan walked out, Qiu Ju looked around in panic and then hurriedly walked out.
Xia Feng couldn't see what Qiu Ju had put in the medicine, so he immediately came back to report to Ji Chengjun.
Ji Chengjun knew that this must be Aunt Du's doing. He hurriedly walked towards Bamboo Ink Pavilion. He also instructed Yue Bai to release the hungry big yellow dog that he had prepared beforehand when Yuhuan brought the medicine into the room.
When Ji Chengjun arrived at Bamboo Ink Pavilion and saw that Ji Chengyang was still lying on the bed, she immediately heaved a sigh of relief. He waited for her to arrange a good show.
Everything was just as she had expected. The big yellow dog had died instantly after feeding it Ji Chengyang's medicine. Ji Xunyuan was also furious. Just as Ji Chengjun was about to expose him on the spot, Xia Feng told him that Xia Ju had disappeared. Ji Chengjun didn't expect Aunt Du to act so quickly and had already sent Qiu Ju away.
Ji Chengjun asked Xia Feng to send someone he trusted to chase after Qiu Ju. Letting Xia Feng stay, afraid of arousing Aunt Du's suspicion, she killed Qiu Ju first. After all, she knew where Qiu Ju went.
