After calling everyone else to disperse, only Mrs Xie and Si Xiang were left in the courtyard. Finally, Si Xiang took off his outer layer of skin and glared viciously at the Xie family.

"Don't think that you can do anything to me!"

"The old lady won't let you off!"

Lady Xie disdainfully smiled and threw a glance at Si Xiang's distorted appearance before lightly tossing out a few words. "Mute her with poison, send her out."

With that, he turned and left.

Only the sound of Reisgem's screams could be heard.

The news had already reached Twilight Garden a day later, and Si Xiang was already dead.

The Xie Clan initially wanted to send her to a manor, but they didn't expect to meet a bandit halfway through their journey. With a single stroke, they killed Si Xiang.

Ye Jinsu read the book while drinking the medicine. She had been feeling much better these days, but it still wasn't too good. Xie Shi was dealing with Si Xiang, so she had a few days to read to pass the time.

Xiao Hong was beaming with joy as she spoke. She had already left when the old lady came.

The troop that sent people away hadn't returned yet, so they sent people to investigate and found out that they had encountered a robber.

The old lady was always in the dark, and by the time they found out, Si Xiang was already dead.

After what happened, the old lady flew into a rage and threatened to leave the capital.

Everything.

Ye Jinsu listened to them as she casually ate two pieces of dessert. All of this was within expectations, and Lady Xie was truly forced into a corner this time.

Putting down the book, Ye Jinsu turned his head and called out to Shuofeng, "What did you find out with Huaiyu?"

"In reply to Miss, I found out that Huaiyu often goes out alone and meets secretly with someone."

Ye Jinsu's brows twitched. "Who is it?"

"General Sun's personal attendant."

"General Sun?" Ye Jinsu frowned and searched her mind for this name. It sounded familiar, but he couldn't recall where it came from.

"It's General Sun from the Northern General." The wind was blowing.

Only then did Ye Jinsu recall that General Sun had been invincible when he was young and had led an army to reclaim the border. A moment of fame, so many years have passed, the glory of that year still has not faded.

He could be considered a reputable figure in the imperial court. In fact, he even held military power. In some ways, he was even a bit higher than Ye Zizai, the civil servant.

When the Xie Clan sent people to kidnap Nanny Liu, she already knew that the Xie Clan was not a simple place.

Thus, she gave the Xie Clan a huge setback and gave her a way out.

He wanted to lure her to take the initiative and use her final move.

It was only when the both of them started to threaten her that she was certain of their abilities.

On the surface, how could a woman who relied on her husband's favors to survive have subordinates like this?

However, in the end, he still got hit. He never thought that there would be poison on the blade.

From the looks of it, the Xie Clan's backer was not simple.

The ministers of the court were deeply blessed and held the military power.

They were all solid supporters.

"Go and check on the relationship between General Sun and the Xie family." Ye Jinsu frowned, her intuition was not simple.

"Jingyun, what about you?"

"They are also General Sun's servants," Jing Yun replied. "Moreover, this subordinate found out that the group that kidnapped Nanny Liu was the group that disguised themselves as the robbers that killed Miss Si Xiang."

Unexpectedly, it was within reason.

How could the Xie Clan let Si Xiang live?

Once he got rid of the incense, he would be next.

Since that was the case, she couldn't just sit there and wait for death.

Ye Jinxiu rubbed her head, "Hongyun and the other young lady who testified that she might be in danger. Go out and take a look. After you rescue her, we can settle her down."

"The Nanny Liu is the same as well. However, you must separate from Hong Yun and don't let them know your identities."

After giving out a few instructions, Ye Jinsu had a headache again.

This poison was truly insidious. It would cause a person's physique to weaken greatly and cause them to feel easily exhausted. One couldn't think too long or it would cause headaches.

But other than that, nothing else could be seen. No coughing, no fever, nothing unusual about the body. He couldn't even get a pulse.

The best and most comfortable method would be to get poisoned. Just live without thinking all day long.

Such a person was the easiest to deal with.

She was clearly about to win, but she ended up suffering a loss that she had made a long time ago.

Ye Jinsu rubbed her forehead in anger.

When Xiao Hong saw this, she felt unwell. She scrunched her nose and ran out to bring a bowl of Soul-Concentrating Soup.

Ye Jinsu couldn't even drink a single sip. She put it on the bed until it was cold, but she didn't even take a single sip. Lying on the bed, however, he found it difficult to fall asleep. It took him a lot of effort before he finally fell asleep. This was yet another strange nightmare.

Suddenly, as they were dreaming about their previous life, they realized that they were still the same little beggar.

He also dreamed of the two slaps he had received that day from Xie Shi and Ye Shisui.

There was also Xiao Hong's wounds and the blood that covered the ground when her wet nurse died.

There was also Ning Yunyin.

He was jolted awake.

Ye Jinshu was covered in sweat, and his entire body was sticky and uncomfortable as he changed into several other inner clothes.

Xiao Hong could not help but secretly wipe her tears at the corner. She only wanted to quickly cure the young miss of her poison, but she didn't know much about medical skills and couldn't be of any help.

He could only go to the mama and ask for more people, hoping that Lady Meng Lan would come earlier to take care of the young miss.

White carrier pigeons flew past the window.

Shuo Feng kept his brush and ink and sighed. With the current situation, he could only hope that the prince would return soon.

Although Miss Meng Lan's medical skills were outstanding, she was still young. She might not be able to cure the poison.

Moreover, it was no longer just a matter of detoxification.

Things got bigger and bigger. Before Ning Yunyin left, she had instructed them to send a letter every seven days to explain the situation. But in the past seven days, he had sent three full letters.

Previously, when Ye Jinsu was injured and Shuofeng was worried that the pigeon would be lost on the way, he immediately wrote a letter and told his men to send it over quickly. He should be here by now.

In the border barracks, the envelope was firmly held in Ning Yun's hand.

However, Ning Yunyin's complexion wasn't looking too good.

He had only left for half a month, but Ye Jinsu actually encountered this kind of situation!

Blade, throat cutting.

Every word in the letter pierced Ning Yun's heart, suffocating him to the point that he couldn't breathe.

There were so many people remaining, but none of them could stop Ye Jinsu. Ning Yunyin's hand tightened around the letter, causing the thin letter to become unbearably wrinkled, but she didn't know it.

He wished he could fly back to her side, look at her, watch every inch of her.

No one can hurt me.

A small soldier came in from outside to deliver the military report, interrupting Ning Yun's gloomy thoughts. "General, it's time to go to the war hall and discuss strategy for the upcoming battle."

She gathered her thoughts and put away the letter before leaving the tent.

He had to think of a way to end this war as soon as possible.
