Zhou Jingxuan nodded. When he walked to Xu Ning's side, he glanced at Yue Niang who was looking down and reminded her, "Xu Xiandi, you still have to open your eyes sometimes."

“It’s good to be kind, but it’s so easy to be deceived.”

After saying this, he gently took Jiang Si's hand and left.

Zhou Jingxuan reminded of this only because Xu Yan gave Jiang Si a piece of brocade.

So he kindly gave a reminder.

There will be no more.

After hearing this, Xu Ning was about to think about it carefully when Yue Niang's face turned pale.

She quickly tugged at Xu Ning's clothes and said, "Sir, did they misunderstand Yue Niang?"

Yue Niang lowered her eyes, her face full of sadness: "You are all pampered young masters and young ladies."

"Of course, they don't know how difficult life is for us lowly people."

"Sir, Yue Niang should just leave."

"Yue Niang really doesn't want people to misunderstand that you were deceived by Yue Niang."

"Young Master is so smart, he must understand Yue Niang's hardship. He is kind-hearted and took Yue Niang in."

"But……"

Xu Ning looked at Yue Niang's pitiful appearance, and a desire to protect her arose in his heart: "It's okay, just come back with me."

"I'll have orders taken to take good care of you at the mansion."

"From now on you will be on duty in my yard, and no one will bully you."

"Even Yanyan would never reach into my yard."

Yue Niang immediately showed just the right amount of joy and admiration on her face: "Young Master is indeed like a god, saving Yue Niang from danger."

"Yue Niang must have done a lot of good deeds in her previous life to be able to meet such a kind person like you."

Xu Ning was so flattered by Yue Niang's praise that he still had a look of joy on his face even after he brought Yue Niang back.

As he said, he arranged Yue Niang in his own yard.

After hearing what Yanyan said, Mrs. Xu wanted to come and say some words of comfort to avoid causing any grudges between her son and daughter.

But she hasn't said anything about arranging this woman to another courtyard.

Then Yue Niang looked at Xu Ning with fear on her face as if asking for help.

Xu Ning was very happy when he was praised on the way here. He thought that he must settle Yue Niang well no matter what, as this was saving a life.

So when Madam Xu came over and Yue Niang looked at him for help, he immediately stood in front of Yue Niang and said, "Mother, she is a miserable person. Please don't make things difficult for her."

Madam Xu looked at Yue Niang and immediately understood why Yanyan had a conflict with Ning'er because of this woman.

A faint look appeared on her face. She certainly would not offend her son.

She slowly put on a smile and said softly, "You are not a child anymore, just make your own decision."

"I just came here today so that you can comfort your sister."

"Her eyes are swollen from crying."

"You have loved this sister the most since she was young. She is very sad today."

Xu Ning immediately responded: "I understand."

Hearing his mother say this, he felt a little guilty again, and after a while he took some of Yanyan's favorite toys to comfort her.

Zhou Jingxuan and Jiang Si walked back slowly hand in hand.

Huai County is not big, but people here seem to prefer tung flowers, and every household plants tung trees.

The light filtered through the gaps in the trees, and the two of them walked back leisurely.

Time seemed to have passed by them. The two of them said nothing, but their eyes were full of tenderness.

In the next few days, Zhou Jingxuan used various reasons to reject Xu Ning's invitation.

Xue Yang also invited the expert that Wu Yong mentioned.

The man was wearing a blue-gray Taoist robe, and he didn't look like someone who used poison. Rather, he looked like a Taoist priest from a Taoist temple.

Wu Yong took Xue Yang to meet that person.

Wu Yong was very humble, not because he was trying to please others on purpose, but because he was really scared.

The first time he met this person, he almost died.

People like him are not good people. I had just escaped from the capital and met him at a roadside tea stall.

There were no seats left, so he looked at this guy. Wu Yong was also a hot-tempered guy. He stepped on the bench and said loudly, "Grandpa wants this seat."

"Get out of here now, or I won't be polite to you later."

The man looked up at him calmly and said, "Get lost!"

Wu Yong immediately got angry. He had a life on his hands, so he was naturally not a gentle person.

Hearing this, he stepped forward and grabbed the man by the collar, saying sternly: "You f*cking want to die, right? Grandpa will grant your wish."

Seeing that the man didn't respond, he thought he was scared, so he snorted coldly, "Grandpa doesn't want to kill anyone today, how about this, you kneel down and kowtow to me twice, and then Grandpa will let you go, how about that?"

"If it were in the past, you would have lost your life long ago."

"You can just enjoy yourself secretly today."

Who knew that the man looked at him straight and just said calmly: "I advise you to do this."

"Otherwise, I will take your life today."

After saying this, Wu Yong suddenly became furious. Since he was looking for death, he would not be polite.

Just as he was about to drop his fist, he heard the man slowly say, "1, 2, 3..."

After he counted three numbers, Wu Yong suddenly froze in place.

Then he covered his neck and took a few steps back, then fell to the ground with a painful look on his face. Wu Yong felt as if all the bones in his body were broken.

He nearly fainted from the pain.

But the man just looked at him indifferently, with a smile on his face.

In an instant, a chill spread throughout his body, and the man fell down without doing anything.

The man stepped forward and stepped hard on his face: "What did you just say?"

"Say it again, Grandpa?"

Wu Yong didn't even have the strength to struggle. He just felt that he was about to die. His body was in severe pain and he couldn't even breathe smoothly.

He said with all his strength: "I was wrong."

"Grandpa, please, forgive me."

"Please, I kowtow to you."

After saying this, the man showed a satisfied smile on his face, and then laughed out loud: "Then I will accept you as my grandson."

After saying that, he raised his hand and waved it across his face, and the pain in his body seemed to suddenly disappear.

Wu Yong survived the disaster and never dared to be arrogant again.

He knelt on the ground and kowtowed several times before getting up: "I was blind and didn't recognize the great man."

"Please forgive me this time."

The man looked Wu Yong up and down and said, "He is a man who can bend and stretch himself."

"I'm in a good mood today, so I'll forgive you."

After this, Wu Yong got to know him and the two of them traveled together for a while.

They said they were traveling together, but in fact, Wu Yong was just his servant.

After getting along with this person later, Wu Yong realized that this person was actually an expert in using poison, and that he had been poisoned that day and had developed such symptoms.

After knowing this, Wu Yong dared not to be careless. He didn't know when he might be poisoned and his life would be in danger!
