Unfortunately, just as he finished speaking and before Shen Qiyin could reply, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the house.

Then came the anxious and flustered voice of the little maid: "Second Miss! Second Miss!"

"Someone from Wu'an Marquis's Mansion said that the Third Young Master Wei is seriously ill. Please come over quickly!"

Something unexpected happened, interrupting their conversation.

Shen Qiyin hurried to the Wu'an Marquis Mansion.

It was late at night, but Wei Heng's yard was brightly lit, and maids and servants were kneeling on the ground in a crowd.

When Marquis Wu'an and his wife saw Shen Qiyin arrive, they hurriedly explained the situation to her: "He was fine at dinner time, but the servants just came to report that Heng'er suddenly fainted!"

"If not for this, we wouldn't have bothered the miracle doctor to come here at this hour."

"Can you please ask the doctor to take a look at Heng'er and see what's wrong with him?"

Shen Qiyin responded and went into the inner room.

Wei Heng was seen lying quietly on the bed with his eyes closed. Although his face was a little pale, he was in much better condition than when Shen Qiyin first saw him.

In fact, on the way here, she had some guesses about Wei Heng's situation.

After taking his pulse, my guess was confirmed.

When Marquis Wu'an saw that she had just tucked his son's arm back into the quilt after checking his pulse, and didn't give him acupuncture or prescribe medicine, he couldn't help but exclaimed in fear, "No cure?!"

"Stop talking nonsense!" Although the Marquis's wife scolded Marquis Wu'an like this, she was actually unsure.

Seeing that they had misunderstood, Shen Qiyin quickly explained: "No, no, the Third Young Master Wei is fine."

"If you were fine, why did you faint?"

Wu Anhou: "Are you sleepy?"

The Marquis's wife could no longer bear it, so she went up and punched him as usual: "If you really can't control your mouth, go stand outside for a while, and don't force your wife to punch you in front of outsiders!"

Shen Qiyin blinked and thought to himself, hasn't this been hit?

But Marquis Wu'an didn't dare to contradict this. He quickly lowered his head and moved to stand behind the Marquis's wife, not daring to say another word.

The Marquis's wife then continued the previous topic: "Please continue, miraculous doctor."

"Oh, actually what the Marquis just said is not entirely wrong."

"Young Master suddenly fainted because he was exhausted."

"The reason why he was so tired was that two medicines reacted in his body."

"One is Wanqingwan."

That was the life-saving item her master left for the four of them.

One pill per person can cure hundreds of poisons.

What her senior brother gave her to eat that day was fake, but what she gave Wei Heng was real.

As early as the first day she gave Wei Heng acupuncture, she fed him her Wanqing Pill just in case.

Because she had to rely on curing Wei Heng to save Chunsheng and her junior brother's lives, so she couldn't allow him to make any mistakes.

Now it seems that her worries were not unnecessary.

There is also evil spirit in the Marquis' Mansion, and it may be quite serious.

The Marquis's wife's face was as gloomy as water. She asked, "The doctor just said that there are two medicines. What is the other one..."

"poison."

"Wei Heng has been poisoned."

If an ordinary person were poisoned after taking Wanqing Pills, he would inevitably feel dizzy and need to rest for a few days. Moreover, for someone with Wei Heng's physique, it was a blessing in disguise that he just fainted.

Although the Marquis's wife had some guesses about Wei Heng's condition after learning that "Wanqing Pills" was a miraculous detoxification drug, she was still shocked and angry when she got a positive answer from Shen Qiyin.

"Who on earth wants to harm my Heng'er?!"

"Don't worry, madam. Fortunately, Heng'er is fine. This is better than anything else." Marquis Wu'an hugged her and comforted her carefully.

After coaxing the Marquis's wife to look after Wei Heng, he strode out of the inner room. The murderous aura on his body seemed to sweep away everything around him, making people dare not look directly at him.

"check!"

"Let's start with the food!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a snow-blue figure was seen walking quickly towards the gate of the courtyard.

It’s Ruan Xinghu.

When she got closer, she said, "Father, I heard that my third brother was not feeling well, so I came to take a look."

"He is now fine."

"Then you are..."

"I don't know who poisoned him." When Wu'an Hou talked about this, he still couldn't suppress the anger in his eyes.

After hearing this, Ruan Xinghu's expression became solemn in an instant.

She is the housekeeper of the Marquis' Mansion now, and she cannot escape the blame for such a big incident.

only--

"After Third Brother's meals are prepared and delivered to him by the kitchen, the servants will check them and even take samples to keep in case of loss."

"Even all the utensils are only used in this room."

"It is not possible that Third Brother would be poisoned under such strict defense."

After saying this, before Marquis Wu'an could open his mouth, another person's voice suddenly rang out.

"Are you trying to shirk responsibility by saying this?"

When Shen Qiyin heard the voice, he looked and saw that the person coming was a young man who seemed to be about the same age as Xiao Yan. He knew that this man was the eldest son of Marquis Wu'an, Wei Xuan.

She was thinking at an inappropriate time that it was already this late, but the couple came one after the other. She guessed that Wei Xuan did not stay in Ruan Xinghu's yard tonight.

In her previous life, she had heard that the two of them had a bad relationship. Could it be true?

As if to let Shen Qiyin confirm her inner guess, Wei Xuan kept talking as he entered the courtyard: "Mother trusted you and entrusted you with the management of the mansion, but now something like this has happened. Aren't you incompetent?"

"If anything happens to my third brother today, I will divorce you, you vicious woman!"

As his words fell, there was a crisp slap sound that made people's face hurt.

Ruan Xinghu just stood there quietly.

Wei Xuan, on the other hand, was slapped to the ground by Marquis Wu'an and finally stood up with the help of his servants.

"How dare you!" Marquis Wu'an was always so intimidating without even getting angry, and now he was really angry: "Can you just make up something like divorcing your wife?"

"Besides, considering your appearance, it's lucky that your wife didn't divorce you. You're still thinking about divorcing her! Are you still dreaming?"

"…The father taught the son so that he knew he was wrong."

Wei Xuan responded unwillingly, looking at Ruan Xinghu with eyes full of disgust and indifference.

I don't know what tricks she has used, but now everyone in the mansion, from the grandmother to the servants, speaks well of her and praises her to the sky and the earth. But he feels that she is not even as good as a finger of Nian Yin!

But his father was already unhappy, so he didn't dare to show anything, and just said, "I'll go in and check on my third brother."

The Marquis's wife heard the noise outside just now. She did not scold Wei Xuan. Instead, she walked up to Ruan Xinghu, took her hand, and brought her to stand beside her.

This was a clear message to everyone in the mansion that even though Wei Xuan no longer liked Ruan Xinghu, as long as she and the Marquis were together, no one could look down on her!

Wei Xuan embarrassed her in public, so she had to respect her even more in public.

So, she specifically said to Wu Anhou: "Xinghu is right. Such a careful approach was instructed by the divine doctor."

"But I was so focused on Heng'er's illness that I couldn't take care of him. If it weren't for Star Fox taking care of him inside and out, I'm afraid I would have to trouble the old lady."

As she spoke, she turned to look at the servants in the courtyard, her voice gentle but not less dignified: "The Crown Prince's wife has been working hard as a housekeeper. If you can't serve her wholeheartedly, but instead cause trouble and add a lot of trouble to her, don't blame me and the Marquis for not remembering the relationship between master and servant in the past!"

"Whether to kill them or sell them directly, you should think carefully about it!"

When everyone heard this, they all nodded and responded with “yes”.

Wei Xuan came out from the inner room and just heard her words. His face couldn't help but become a little ugly, but in front of Marquis Wu'an and his wife, he had to suppress his disgust for Ruan Xinghu.

Shen Qiyin watched coldly, becoming more and more curious.

Did the Crown Prince's wife really do something unforgivable to cause Wei Xuan to be like this, or is it that the Crown Prince is simply sick?

While she was lost in thought, she suddenly heard someone calling her.

"Miracle doctor?" Ruan Xinghu walked up to Shen Qiyin and said, "May I ask, Miracle doctor, what kind of poison did Third Brother get? Besides just taking it casually, is there any other way to poison him?"

"Yes." Shen Qiyin came back to his senses and explained to them one by one: "This poison is called 'Dream-Inducing'. Those who are severely poisoned will die in their sleep."

"One is powdery, odorless, and white."

"The other is watery, colorless, odorless, and transparent."

Hearing this, Wei Heng frowned and said, "Doesn't this still mean that we have to tamper with the food? It's the same as saying nothing!"

Shen Qiyin looked at him as if he were a fool and said nothing.

Wu Anhou stepped forward and kicked him, saying in a deep voice: "If you really can't control your mouth, just go stand inside for a while, don't force me to slap you in front of so many people!"

Wei Xuan covered his butt with one hand and rubbed his face with the other, muttering softly: "You've already slapped me..."

Wu Anhou ignored him and turned to Shen Qiyin and said in a gentle voice: "Let's continue."

Shen Qiyin: "I once heard from my master that some people soak silk threads in water mixed with 'Dream Inducing', and then make clothes, handkerchiefs, and even quilts and other things. People touch them every day and cannot be protected."

The Marquis's wife said, "This is in accordance with the instructions of the miracle doctor. We change and clean it every day, and no one is lazy."

"Madam, you misunderstood. What I meant was that the person behind the scene might have used a similar method, but the poison was different."

"I wonder if you have got anything new recently?"

"Something new..." The Marquis's wife looked thoughtful.

She was still reminiscing, but Shen Qiyin noticed that Ruan Xinghu's eyes moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
