Excuse me, brother?
Taoye turned her head in surprise.
When Chu Yi saw his sister looking towards him, his eyes subconsciously avoided her.
But his movements were not slow. He took out another celadon vial from his sleeve, squatted down, pinched Qingmei's chin, and poured it directly into it.
"Ahem!"
Chu Yizuo's movement came so suddenly that Qingmei had no time and was unable to resist, as the medicine had already gone down her throat.
She lowered her head and coughed desperately, trying to cough out the medicine.
"Don't worry Ayuan, this medicine won't kill her, it will just make her speechless in the future!"
"As for that maid, she just took the drug and will wake up in an hour!"
Chu Yizuo was afraid that his sister would be frightened by his cruelty, so he hurriedly explained.
He remembered that when he was a child, his sister was delicate and soft-hearted, kind and soft-hearted, and she must not tolerate these methods.
"Let's go!"
Rong Jiu is not afraid that Tao Ye will be frightened. This girl will definitely retaliate. Qing Mei wants her life, how can she be soft-hearted.
Seeing his sister being carried away, Chu Yizuo felt regretful in his heart. He should have let Master Rong Wu do it himself. Now his sister should be afraid of him.
Behind her, Qingmei coughed for a long time to no avail. When she thought of asking for mercy again, she found that she could no longer make a sound.
"Go make arrangements and send the two people inside to Zhuangzi in the North now!"
Rong Jiu ordered Xingyun after going out, with a look of disgust and impatience on his face.
Xingyun responded and went down to make arrangements.
After Rong Jiu and others left, the two young men who had been waiting outside opened the door and took a look inside. They saw the two maids in the room. One fell to the side silently, and the other was lying on the ground with her eyes wide open. I was in tears and couldn't even speak.
The girl next to the fifth young master looks so delicate and soft, but she is cruel. The key is that the fifth young master must love her, so she must not offend her in the future.
Rong Jiu took Chu Yizuo and Tao Ye back to the front hall.
The maid in the front hall hurriedly brought over the prepared tea and snacks. They were not as exquisite as those in the house, but they were still delicious.
"Ayuan, this sweet-scented osmanthus cake was your favorite when you were a kid, try it now!"
Chu Yizuo tried his best to make his sister forget what happened just now, and smiled gently at his sister while holding a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake.
"Thank you, brother!"
Taoye didn't know what her eldest brother was thinking, so she took the piece of osmanthus cake with a smile and tasted it. However, she had eaten a lot for lunch just now, so she wasn't hungry, so she just ate it in small bites.
"I thought Brother Rong was a man of his word. I just promised that girl that I could spare her life as long as she said something useful. I thought you wouldn't let me take out the medicine again!"
The more Chu Yizuo thought about it, the more he felt that he had been "tricked" by Rong Jiu. He endured it again and again, but in the end he still couldn't bear it anymore and asked deliberately in front of his sister.
"Of course I keep my word, her life is saved!"
After Rong Jiu said this calmly, he wondered: "Does Brother Chu think that girl is excusable? Then wait until Zixi comes back and let him see if he can cure the poison!"
Chu Yizuo was so angry that he couldn't get angry, so he smiled reluctantly: "She wants to harm A Yuan, so it would be a shame to die!"
After Taoye finished the piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake in his hand, he noticed that the two people on the table looked a little strange.
The eldest brother had some dissatisfaction on his face, while the fifth young master smiled lightly and seemed to be in a good mood.
After thinking about what the two people just said, I didn't feel there was anything wrong, and a flash of confusion flashed across my face.
"Ayuan, do you want to try another piece?"
Chu Yizuo noticed his sister's scrutiny, and hurriedly smiled and picked up a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake to pass over.
A look of struggle flashed across Tao Ye's face. She had just forced the piece in, but seeing the enthusiasm and love in her elder brother's eyes, she couldn't put it away. She was about to reach out to pick it up when the fifth young master spoke. .
"She is weak and has just had lunch, so she cannot eat more of these pastries!"
Taoye quickly retracted her hand obediently, with a submissive look on her face.
“Eating too many pastries after a meal is really bad for your health!”
Chu Yizuo looked at the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in his hand that had been slightly deformed by himself. He couldn't put it back, so he had to stuff it into his mouth.
I wonder if I am overthinking it, but the fifth young master seems to be teasing his elder brother.
Taoye was frightened by her own thoughts.
Fortunately, not long after, Pei Weinan and others came back.
"I knew you were here, but I was starving to death!"
The three of them stayed in the mountains for a long time, and the tips of their noses were blown red by the wind. Pan Shi'an, a person who cares about his image, didn't bother to order his servants, so he poured himself a cup of hot tea and drank it.
Only Gu Shiyu still looked interested. Just as he was about to tell his fifth brother what they had just discovered, Pei Weinan stopped him: "Don't talk yet. Let me drink and eat some cushions first!"
"You eat yours, even if I say mine it's not enough!"
Gu Shiyu shouted dissatisfiedly, and stopped arguing with Pei Weinan after Rong Jiu said he was not in a hurry.
The ground dragon was burned in the hall and the bodies of Pei Weinan and others quickly warmed up after drinking hot tea.
"The courtyard should be in the northwest! We tested Fan Yuan many times, and only when we walked toward the northwest did he look a little strange. However, in order not to scare the snake, we immediately moved to another place!"
Pei Weinan told the results of what several people discovered.
"According to what Na Qingmei said, the second young lady of Duke Jingguo's residence seems to have sent someone to find this Fan Yuan!"
When it comes to business matters, Chu Yizuo is not ambiguous.
"That concubine Rong Wu?"
Pei Weinan shook his head in confusion: "That's not right. Even if Fan Yuan was ordered by her, she wouldn't be able to do it... No, it's King Yong!"
Rong Jiu mentioned the affair between Rong Shu and King Yong to Pei Weinan.
"King Yong?"
This time it was the other people's turn to be surprised. How could they be talking about the second young lady of the Duke's Mansion one moment, and then directly talk about King Yong the next moment.
"Rong Shu has something personal with King Yong!"
The room was full of people of his own, and Rong Jiu didn't hide it.
"If the yard was really bought under the instruction of King Yong, then this must be unusual!"
The usual smile on Pan Sheng'an's face also disappeared.
"What's this? Now that we know the location and the approximate distance, we just need to send people over to search that area. No matter what kind of monsters or monsters they are, they will show up!"
"Then before you find it, all these ghosts and monsters should be hiding!"
Pei Weinan joked.
"Then what does Fifth Brother say?"
Although Gu Shiyu is straightforward and has a short temper, the best thing is that he listens to the advice of his own people, especially Rong Jiu.
"Find some people to keep an eye on Fan Yuan secretly!"
Rong Jiu said.
"Fan Yuan's family is there and they will definitely be visiting each other every now and then. It will indeed be much better to follow them than to visit each of our families!"
Pan Sheng'an nodded.
Pei Weinan and Chu Yizuo also felt that this method was safer.
"After returning home, go to Qin's mother to ask for the account of this hot spring village and check the money and goods coming in and out!"
"yes!"
Although Xingyun agreed, he looked a little embarrassed.
