When I woke up again, it was already night.
She was completely clear, as if she had escaped from death.
But her peaceful pulse told her that the poison had been cured.
A smile flashed across his eyes, with the joy of winning the gamble.
She was just betting that Bailiheng would not let her die.
It's a bet on one's own value, and a bet on Bailiheng's character.
The results now tell her that her cooperation with Bailiheng has been successfully achieved.
My thoughts stopped when the maid came in from outside.
"Miss, this is the medicine that my lord ordered me to prepare for you. My lord has said that it is up to my lord to decide whether to drink it or not."
"Where is your lord?"
"We have returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Your Excellency also said that after the young lady wakes up, she can leave on her own."
After saying that, the maid didn't stay any longer and turned to leave.
Shi Qinghuan stepped forward and smelled the decoction. It was a good decoction to remove residual toxins and cultivate the body.
Shi Qinghuan did not hesitate, drank it all in one gulp, and then left Qingyueside.
In the following days, everything was calm.
Bailiheng started to deal with the roster issue and had no time to pay attention to Shi Qinghuan. The second wife was also busy with their wedding and had no time to care about anything else.
Shi Qinghuan became purified and spent the whole day reading and practicing in the courtyard to prepare for future assessments by the Supervision Department.
Ten days passed in a blink of an eye, and in a blink of an eye it was the day of the wedding banquet in the second room.
The General's Mansion was of low status, and Lin Zheng was a failure. Although the Hou Mansion was forced to agree to the marriage, it was decided that all matters would be handled in the Hou Mansion.
Wedding banquet, and future residence.
This makes it obvious that Lin Zheng is getting married.
But the backer of the Hou Mansion is naturally insignificant compared to the reputation of the son-in-law, so everything is still going on happily.
On the day of the wedding banquet, Shi Qinghuan was naturally left in the General's Mansion. The entire General's Mansion was deserted, but Shi Qinghuan was in a good mood and drank wine for the first time in the courtyard.
Xianyu prepared wine and food and came over.
"Miss, there is news from my dear wife. It's going very smoothly. She has been staying in the second master's villa for several days."
"Well, very good, today is such a good day!"
Shi Qinghuan smiled and poured out a glass of sake, then spilled it on the ground.
Lin Manyun, today is the end of the first game of chess. If you have the spirit, go and see it for yourself.
Marriage of a daughter in the Hou family is naturally very lively.
The wedding banquet lasted all day and didn't end until late at night.
Lin Zheng, the groom's official, was naturally full of joy. After seeing off his mother, he wandered off to the new house half drunk.
Thinking of the beautiful bride and the smooth career in the future, Lin Zheng felt happy in his heart.
"Madam, you are so polite to your husband!"
After entering the new house, Lin Zheng maintained his gentlemanly demeanor and nodded to the bride Xue Yin behind the screen.
But in the next moment, his entire expression suddenly changed.
There was a moaning laughter from behind the screen, which was delicate and charming, but the laughter was also accompanied by the sound of a man's breathing.
Through the faint light from the screen, Lin Zheng vaguely saw two figures entangled on the wedding bed.
This can be described as a bolt from the blue.
On the wedding night, the bride hangs out with other men, which even a man can't stand.
Lin Zheng rushed into the inner room angrily, but when he saw the man on the bed, Lin Zheng turned pale and fell backwards to the ground.
"You...you..."
I can't even say a word.
Because the man on the bed is none other than the legitimate son of the Hou family, Xue Xiao.
He is also Xue Yin’s biological brother.
How can this be?
Lin Zheng looked in disbelief, but with everything in front of him, he had to believe it.
"Brother, he seems to be scared!"
Xue Yin smiled and put his smooth arms around Xue Xiao's neck.
Xue Xiao took possession of Xue Yin as if in revenge, "So what, Yin'er, you can only be mine!"
There were clouds and rain on the bed, and Lin Zheng's face was ashen, and it took him a long time to get up and run away.
But as soon as he reached the door, he was kicked back by Xue Xiao's bodyguard, and he was forced to kneel by the door until the tenderness inside was over.
After a long time, Xue Xiao came out wearing loose clothes. Xue Yin was on one side, leaning against her intimately.
That wedding dress was particularly eye-catching.
"Brother, our groom has seen everything! What should we do?"
"Since he dared to take your husband's position, he will naturally be punished, a punishment that makes me feel at ease."
Listening to the conversation between the two, Lin Zheng realized that he had not benefited from this. He had clearly fallen into a tiger's den.
Just when he was about to beg for mercy, two more people came out from behind and took him into custody.
A cold light flashed under the night, and then a man's scream sounded.
The entire lower body was stained red with blood. Lin Zheng twitched and collapsed to the ground, the blood spreading.
Xue Yin covered his eyes, but his eyes were very excited, "Brother, is this too cruel?"
"Good boy, it's time to go see Huai'er. Every time he takes medicine, we have to coax him together."
"Um."
The two of them stood up with a smile. Xue Xiao held Xue Yin in his arms and walked to Lin Zheng, his eyes full of contempt and meaninglessness.
"If you are sensible, you will be your nominal uncle to the Marquis. Otherwise, not only will everyone in Kyoto know that you are not even a man, but even your life will disappear silently."
After saying that, Xue Xiao stepped over Lin Zheng with a smile, and the two of them left with a smile.
...
"Ah? The young Marquis and the second young lady of the Marquis are actually... But aren't they brothers and sisters?"
In the small courtyard, Xianyu looked shocked after hearing Shi Qinghuan's words.
Shi Qinghuan shook his head, "Xue Xiao is the son of the old Marquis' first wife, and Xue Yin is the posthumous son of the old Marquis' second wife, so although they are brothers and sisters in name, they are not related by blood. Of course, the outside world doesn’t know this.”
"Then the young prince's current legitimate son..."
"He was also born to Xue Yin."
This is the biggest secret of Xue Yanghou Mansion.
"No wonder, the young Marquis's first wife became pregnant not long after entering the house, and died of dystocia on the night she gave birth to the child. Could it be..."
Xianyu's eyes trembled, as if he thought of something.
Shi Qinghuan poured her a glass of sake, "Many things are not as simple as we think. The most vicious and vicious person in the Marquis Mansion is never the old Marquis."
Shi Qinghuan once said this before, but now, Xianyu really understands it.
"The second bedroom fell into their hands..."
Shi Qinghuan's eyes darkened, but a smile appeared on his lips, "Of course...life is worse than death!"
Although she didn't know what Lin Zheng would experience, she had some expectations.
When he pushed his sister into the abyss for his official position, it was destined that one day he would also step into the abyss.
And all this is just the beginning.
"By the way, miss, Prince Feng's Mansion will hold a full moon banquet in four days. Because of the relationship with the Marquis Mansion, the second room has also received the invitation. According to Grandma Sun, the second lady also wants the miss to go."
"Bai Liheng will go, so she naturally wants me to go."
"Then shall we go?"
A flash of blood flashed across his eyes, and Shi Qinghuan squeezed the wine glass tightly.
"Go, why not go."
Sooner or later we have to meet again.
Sooner or later, it has to start!
