578 Fraudulent Little Master (3)

Previously, she handed over her weapon so readily. Wasn’t she interested in bringing some small powder?

Song Jingchen thought to himself, “Didn’t you say that you would be good and not cause trouble?”

Xuanyuan Ce thought to himself, “Is my daughter so fierce?”

Mo Ying’s eyes widened. Did she drink the other party’s tea?

She opened her mouth to call for someone to come in, but her body was weak. Her voice was as soft as a mosquito’s, and no one outside could hear her.

“When did you drug her?” As soon as he asked, Xuanyuan Ce remembered that this girl had pretended to open the teapot when she was checking just now. He gasped and felt his jaw ache. “Aren’t you afraid that I’ll drink this tea?”

Shen Yijia shrugged and said irresponsibly, “Isn’t it better if you drink it? The Fragrant Teahouse dared to poison the king of the Xuanyuan Kingdom. In order to give the Xuanyuan Kingdom an explanation, the emperor will definitely order a thorough investigation of the Fragrant Teahouse.”

Her beautiful husband said that without concrete evidence, the emperor would not touch the Fragrant Teahouse easily. Wasn’t Xuanyuan Ce’s poisoning readily available? When the time came, would he be afraid that he wouldn’t be able to enter openly?

Xuanyuan Ce was so angry that his head buzzed. Was this really his daughter? Wasn’t she here to collect a debt?

In order to help her, he didn’t even care about his reputation. He fought alone in front of her, but this girl was ready to trick him at any time.

How sinful.

Although he thought so, he could not ignore it. He frowned and said, “But I didn’t drink it now. She drank it. We can’t kill her, right?”

It was unrealistic to carry the girl out. If they left them behind like this, they would probably be captured before they could leave this place.

He now understood what it meant to have a brat at home.

Song Jingchen glanced at Mo Ying and suddenly said, “Are you from Xunyang City?”

He did not react at first. After seeing Mo Ying’s appearance, he understood why Shen Yijia did not stop her from drinking the tea.

However, he did not understand why these people had left such a weakness behind after killing all the girls in Xunyang City. Could it be that it was because she was a courtesan and was more useful?

Hearing the words “Xunyang City”, Mo Ying’s pupils constricted. She said weakly, “What… what Xunyang City? I… don’t understand… what are you talking about?”

Shen Yijia looked like her husband understood her. She was not anxious about Mo Ying not admitting it. She walked to her side and squatted down. She asked, “Do you know Shuang’er?”

Mo Ying’s eyelashes trembled. “No… I don’t.”

Shen Yijia tilted her head, not letting go of the expression on her face. “Did you know that Shuang’er was also captured?”

She remembered that Pinellia had said that she had an extremely good relationship with her sister. The two sisters were not liked at home and relied on each other.

Mo Ying’s breathing tightened and she blurted out, “Impossible…”

Shuang’er… No, that couldn’t be. If she had been captured, it was impossible for her not to have seen her.

“How is that impossible? You know that Shuang’er is not bad-looking.” Shen Yijia was even more certain that she had not guessed wrongly. She sat down on the small table beside Mo Ying and explained, “It’s just that we saved her.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

That’s right. Mo Ying’s tense body instantly relaxed. Shen Yijia continued, “However, she was caught before after all. Her reputation as a girl was damaged. Your parents felt that she was embarrassing, so they wanted her to hang herself.”

Mo Ying thought to herself, “Can’t you speak more kindly?”

However, this was indeed something their heartless parents would do.

She closed her eyes and a tear fell from the corner of her eye. She said stubbornly, “You’ve got the wrong person.”

Shen Yijia thought to herself, “You just admitted it.”

She puffed out her cheeks. “But we saved her again.”

The corners of Xuanyuan Ce’s mouth twitched. He wanted to laugh at her heart-attacking way of speaking.

He finally found some balance in his heart. It was good that this girl didn’t only target him.

Thinking of this, he glanced at Song Jingchen enviously. Only this guy could make her treat him sincerely. He didn’t know where he got his good fortune from.

Song Jingchen raised his eyebrows. “Shuang’er has been looking for you.”

Did this mean that Shuang’er had also come to the capital and had been with them?

Mo Ying had no choice but to admit it. She said, “What do you want to do?”

“Of course we’re here to save you,” Shen Yijia said matter-of-factly.

Mo Ying smiled bitterly. “It’s useless. All of us are poisoned. Even if we get out, we won’t live for long.”

Shen Yijia said, “Then don’t worry. We have the antidote too.”

Mo Ying looked at Shen Yijia suspiciously and suddenly sneered. “Did Aunt send you to test me?”

Shen Yijia did not understand what was going through her mind. She rolled her eyes. “Aunt? I already said that I was here to save you. We’ve already made a suppressant. We’ll definitely be able to find an antidote in the future.”

Shen Yijia actually felt a little guilty.

The person behind this probably had a real antidote, right? Otherwise, she could only look for the Heart Devouring Grass.

Most of these women had been trafficked here and were victims. She couldn’t just watch them die.

It was not a solution to take suppressive medicine for the rest of her life.

Her tone was so serious, and her eyes under the mask were so sincere that it was difficult not to believe her. After a long time, Mo Ying seemed to have made a decision and asked, “Is Shuang’er alright?”

“It’s not good.” Shen Yijia sighed. Mo Ying’s heart skipped a beat again before she continued, “A while ago, a large number of female corpses were discovered in the Wutong River. Shuang’er recognized a few of them as girls from Xunyang City. She thought that you were among them and cried her heart out. She even fell seriously ill.”

She thought of that little girl who always liked to follow behind her and call her sister. She was clearly starving, but she still secretly left her steamed buns. Mo Ying did not dare to imagine how difficult her life had been after she was captured.

“But she’s recovered from her illness now. She said that as long as the identity of the corpse is not confirmed, she doesn’t believe that you’ll die. She even said that you’re the smartest.”

Mo Ying stayed silent.

Shen Yijia looked innocent. “Why are you looking at me like that?” she thought. “It’s tiring to talk for so long.” she thought.
