Wu Jinyan quickly got out of bed.
She was still feeling a little dizzy after the poison had been cured. Su Yingxue supported her. “Jinyan, don’t be anxious.”
Wu Jinyan shook her head and held Su Yingxue’s hand. “You mustn’t let your brother know that 1 was poisoned. He’ll be leaving for Bamboo Leaf Pass the day after tomorrow. 1 don’t want him to worry.”
Wu Jinyan’s body was still frail, but all she could think about was Su Hao.
Su Yingxue was touched and nodded in agreement. “Okay.”
She went to open the door, and Su Hao rushed in. When he saw Wu Jinyan sitting on the bed, he quickly squatted down in front of her and held her hand, his eyes full of concern. “Yan’er, what’s wrong?”
Last night, he was so happy that he got drunk and took a break. When he heard that something had happened to Wu Jinyan this morning, he was extremely anxious.
“I’m fine. I just drank too much last night.” Wu Jinyan smiled understandingly.
“You don’t look well.” Su Hao frowned.
He glanced at Su Yingxue, who was standing on the side. “Moreover, my sister is also here. What are you guys hiding from me?”
Su Yingxue’s expression stiffened.
Although Su Hao was a general and didn’t speak much, he was not stupid.
Wu Jinyan caressed his face and smiled. “Although I’m your fiancee now, I’m not married yet. If 1 don’t live with Yingxue, do I have to sleep with you?”
Su Hao’s face suddenly turned red. “Yan’er, don’t spout nonsense!”
He was not that kind of frivolous person!
Although they were engaged, he would never do anything out of line with her as long as they had not officially married.
The nuptial chamber naturally required him to perform three letters and six etiquettes, officially marry her, and carry her into the Marquis’s Manor before they would sleep on the same bed.
“Brother, even if you don’t trust sister-in-law, you have to trust me. With me around, what can happen to my sister-in-law?” Su Yingxue looked at Su Hao teasingly.
Su Hao stood up and gently tapped her forehead. “Okay, I believe you!”
Seeing that the two of them were fine, Su Hao was relieved.
He still had to prepare for his departure, so he went to the military camp.
Su Yingxue reminded Wu Jinyan to rest well for the next few days and not to overexert herself.
Wu Jinyan nodded and held her hand. There was a hint of worry between her brows. “Yingxue, the person who poisoned me could sneak into the Marquis’s Manor. His methods must not be weak. You must be careful!”
She knew that she couldn’t help Su Yingxue in this matter. She could only pray for her.
Su Yingxue patted the back of her hand and gave her a reassuring look. “I have Zi Wei by my side. I won’t let anyone harm me easily.”
She left the prescription behind and returned to the manor after giving it to Wu Jinyan.
In her room, Zi Wei quietly appeared.
Su Yingxue frowned. “You were always by my side. Last night…”
“Saint Ruan,” Zi Wei’s hoarse voice was filled with killing intent.
“It is him! Did you follow him last night to see who ordered him?” Su Yingxue placed her hands behind her back.
She thought about it carefully. She did not know Saint Ruan. Why would this famous poison doctor with a strange temper poison Wu Jinyan for no reason and deliberately come to see her detoxify?
Someone must have ordered it!
“No,” Zi Wei explained coldly. “His entire body is filled with poison. The Silver Moon Pavilion forbids anyone from approaching him. Otherwise, you will die.”
A hint of surprise flashed in Su Yingxue’s eyes. “You’re the top assassin in the Silver Moon Pavilion. Even you can’t get close to Saint Ruan easily.”
Zi Wei nodded. “The Silver Moon Pavilion once had a grudge with him and subdued him..”
