Chapter 143: I will obey your orders
In a trance, Lu Nian stretched out his hand to touch the white-haired old man who was getting closer and closer.
The old man came skipping over to her, circled around her, clapping his hands and laughing crazily.
He said: Girl, there is a terrible madman in your heart. You have to lock it up, then people will like you.
She could no longer remember the face of the white-haired old man. She only remembered the two words that lingered in her ears:
madman.
Lu Nian supported himself on the ground with both hands and slowly crawled forward.
The white-haired old man suddenly disappeared, and the room in front of him was still pitch black.
She sat on the ground with her face covered, tears streaming down from between her fingers.
No, not crazy, she is not crazy.
Her husband is still waiting for her at home. Her child is still so young and needs his mother's care. She has to hold on and wait for them to come and rescue her.
Everything will be fine.
Yuan Qing returned to Lu's house in the evening and received a message from Mu Xiaoxiao.
She immediately locked the house and went to the small courtyard she had rented before to meet Mu Xiaoxiao.
What surprised her was that Fang Yuemei also came to Beijing with Mu Xiaoxiao.
She looked thinner than when she was in Jiangzhou, and she was staggering, as if she could not stand steadily.
Yuan Qing suddenly had a bad feeling.
Mu Xiaoxiao supported her and said, "Master, she has been poisoned again, and it is more serious than before."
Fang Yuemei's eyes were red. She pointed to her throat and said "sorry" silently.
Yuan Qing was speechless, "How could it be?"
"She was like this when I returned to Jiangzhou. I took her pulse and found that she was not only poisoned, but also..."
Yuan Qing stared at Mu Xiaoxiao nervously.
Mu Xiaoxiao's throat rolled, and her voice was not as clear as before, "She was also infected with the Yin Yang Gu."
Yuan Qing looked at Fang Yuemei in surprise.
Fang Yuemei bit her lip, took out the paper and pen she carried with her and wrote: [A few days after you left, someone came to see me]
Yuan Qing clenched his hands, "Who is it?"
Fang Yuemei suddenly raised her head, her pale face revealing unconcealable anger.
[Those who killed my sister]
Yuan Qing's heart was shocked.
Did they find out so quickly?!
Fang Yuemei kept her head down as she wrote. She had a lot to say but she couldn't open her mouth, so she wrote quickly and chaotically.
[One night, a man suddenly broke into my room. I was so scared that I wanted to shout for help, but he pinched me, fed me poison, and said he would tell me the cause of my sister's death. I remembered the nobleman's instructions and did not reveal any flaws in front of him, so I pretended to be obedient.
But he lied to me, saying that you were the culprits who killed my sister. He aroused my hatred towards you and planted a poisonous insect in me, asking me to lurk around you and do things for him.]
She seemed to remember that scene, and couldn't help the nausea that surged in her heart. She turned over and lay on the mat and vomited.
Mu Xiaoxiao handed her a handkerchief and poured her some water. "Don't think about it for now. Drink some water to calm your nerves."
Fang Yuemei didn't want to forget that feeling, so she pushed the water away and continued to write with trembling hands: [I was at a loss and went to find my father. My father then asked me to follow you, saying that you would definitely find a way.]
Yuan Qing dropped his hands helplessly, not daring to look into Fang Yuemei's eyes, fearing that she would be disappointed and lose the desire to live.
The words rolled in her throat several times before she suppressed them.
Fang Yuemei smiled in relief, [It doesn't matter if there is no way. Although I am controlled by him now, fortunately I have come to the capital, so I am relatively free and there are many things I can do.]
She looked at Yuan Qing steadily, [Since my father and the noble believe in you, then I believe in you too]
But if there is an order, we will obey it.
This is the promise made by Fang Yuemei.
Yuan Qing did not easily agree to anything with her. He just asked her to stay there for the time being and make decisions on other matters based on the circumstances.
Fang Yuemei did not force it because the enemy behind her was too powerful and it was understandable that others had concerns.
After settling Fang Yuemei, Mu Xiaoxiao stayed behind.
Seeing Mu Xiaoxiao hesitate to speak, Yuan Qing stopped and asked, "Did something happen in Jiangzhou?"
Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly knelt on the ground, "Master, please punish me!"
Yuan Qing hurriedly pulled her, "What are you doing? Get up!"
"I didn't do my job well," Mu Xiaoxiao brushed her hand away, "so I deserve this punishment!"
Yuan Qing let her go, squatted in front of her and said, "Now that it has happened, it is meaningless to argue about who is responsible. The most important thing is to solve and remedy the problem."
Mu Xiaoxiao felt ashamed, and before coming to the capital, she had already prepared to commit suicide to apologize.
She felt even more ashamed when her master forgave her.
"The eldest daughter of the Lu family is gone, and the second daughter..."
Yuan Qing took a step forward, "What happened to my cousin's wife?"
"She's gone crazy. She doesn't recognize anyone anymore and is extremely afraid of strangers. Even Young Master Lou and Young Master Xiao can't get close to her."
Mu Xiaoxiao said this fact with difficulty.
The spoon in Yuan Qing's hand fell to the ground with a "clack", breaking into pieces.
She subconsciously wanted to pick it up, but Mu Xiaoxiao knelt down and stepped forward, holding her hand, her voice choking with sobs, "Master, I know it was my fault for not protecting the Madam. You can hit me or scold me, don't keep it to yourself."
