Chapter 632: Chapter 571, Everyone is Waiting_2

Soon, the three of them arrived at Wentao’s courtyard.

Sitting in the main seat of the living room, and looking towards the two men with a solemn expression, Daohua asked, “Now, tell me, what exactly happened?”

Wentao still wanted to struggle a bit and said with a forced smile, “What do you mean ‘what happened’?”

Daohua glanced at him and said without any expression, “Why were you poisoned? What poison were you exposed to?”

Wentao lowered his head and remained silent.

Seeing Daohua’s unwavering demeanor, Yan Wenkai laughed ‘hehe’ twice and recounted their experiences in the Northern Frontier in detail.

The Prince had planted many of his people in the military camp, among them a high-ranking, influential second-rank general.

This general knew about the matters in Sishan Village and was also on good terms with a deputy commander of Xia Teng’s troops. After seeing the weapons they had sent, he immediately sent word to the Prince.

Fortunately, Xiao Yeyang had arranged for someone in advance to intercept that secret letter; otherwise, by now, the Prince would have been aware of everything concerning Sishan Village.

Even though they knew the general was one of the Prince’s men, they couldn’t simply arrest him because of his high prestige in the military. Plus, due to their past actions, he grew cautious. He carried his trusted aides everywhere and did not attend any private gatherings, making it difficult for them to find an opportunity to act.

The Prince’s people definitely needed to be dealt with, and to prevent the news from leaking again, in the end, they had no choice but to take action during a public banquet for the soldiers in the camp.

Direct assassination was out of the question, so poison was their only option.

As it happened, the Little Prince had poison handy, which would silently kill a person within an hour after being ingested.

However, the man was extremely vigilant and refused to drink any toast offered by them.

In the end, the third brother stepped in personally and drank the poisoned wine in front of him, which finally made him lower his guard and take a drink from the cup the third brother had used.

Although the third brother quickly took an antidote afterwards, the poison was so potent that it still harmed his body.

After listening to the account, Daohua stood up abruptly, furious, and said, “Third brother, how can you gamble with your own life like this?”

Wentao replied with a sheepish smile, “But I’m fine now, aren’t I?”

Daohua’s eyebrows were tightly furrowed as she said, “You may still have your life, but your body has been damaged by the poison. You might feel fine now because you’re young, but as you grow older, prepare to be confined to your bed.”

Hearing this, Wentao became anxious, “Is it really that serious?”

Yan Wenkai also hurried over to Daohua, smirked flatteringly, and said, “Dear sister, the third brother knows he was wrong. He was provoked by the Zhou Family and wanted to make a name for himself as quickly as possible.”

At these words, Wentao glared fiercely at Yan Wenkai, while Daohua fell silent. Looking at her third brother whose eyes began to dim, she spoke in a low voice, “Third brother, you must take good care of your health. So, rest today and starting from tomorrow, I will come over and prepare medicinal baths for you.”

…

Meanwhile, in the Jiang Family household.

New novel 𝓬hapters are published on ƒreewebɳovel.com.

Madam Jiang and Advisor Jiang were also discussing the day’s events.

Learning that Xiao Yeyang had directly sold off the maid sent by the Empress Dowager, Madam Jiang snorted and said, “I always said that Xiao Yeyang was still the same as when he was a child, acting entirely on his whims, without thinking of the consequences.”

“Now that the Ma family mother and son have gained favor, he still has a legitimate elder son to face. In such a situation, instead of cozying up to the Empress Dowager, he even disregards her kindness. I wonder how he plans to manage once he returns to the capital.”

Advisor Jiang furrowed his brow in silence, currently calculating the time it would take to return to Zhongzhou from the Northern Frontier.

Seeing Advisor Jiang like this, Madam Jiang knew what he was thinking and chuckled, “My lord, do you still think Xiao Yeyang is that Investigator of the Jinling Guard who made great achievements in the Northern Frontier?”

Advisor Jiang mulled it over quietly, “Yeyang’s actions are indeed a bit outrageous, but it’s not impossible.”

Madam Jiang shook her head, “I don’t think it is, we’ve been in Zhongzhou for some time now, and the only thing that boy has done besides establishing a Glass Factory is, what else of significance?”

Advisor Jiang: “…Regardless, we still need to pay more attention.”

Madam Jiang pondered for a moment and said, “Instead of guessing here, why not summon him to our residence and investigate personally?”

Advisor Jiang nodded, “Madam makes a good point, but there’s no need to summon him. Now that you and Wan Ying have moved here, it’s only proper for him to come and pay a visit, likely within these next couple of days.”

Speaking, he paused, then looked toward Madam Jiang.

“What’s the deal with Nanny Jia? What has caused her to trouble Miss Yan of the Yan Family all of a sudden?”

Madam Jiang huffed, “Didn’t you tell me to probe into Madam Li’s intentions and ask about the whereabouts of the Yan brothers? Nanny Jia was probably eager to learn about Yeyang as well, and being often flattered in the palace, she speaks without thinking.”

With that, her expression also turned cold.

“Speaking of which, Miss Yan and Xiao Yeyang are quite alike, both acting without regard for the consequences. She forced Nanny Jia to kneel in public today, not only slapping the Empress Dowager’s face but also ours. Does she really think we can’t handle her father?”

Advisor Jiang knitted his brows, “Miss Yan is indeed a bit brazen, but as for matters amongst you women, it’s better if you handle them yourselves. Do not involve men, or things could get out of control.”

Madam Jiang nodded, “I was just venting. I understand what’s at stake.”

Advisor Jiang: “Since Nanny Jia has come, you should still keep in touch with her more often in the future; you know what the Empress Dowager’s intentions are.”

Madam Jiang showed a hint of reluctance, “In the past, Xiao Yeyang was the only legitimate son of the Prince and of a high enough status to be a match for our Jingwan. But now… who knows in whose head the title of the Prince Residence will end up with.”

Advisor Jiang also fell silent, after a long while adding, “Let’s wait and see.”

…

The Guo Family.

Madam Guo, too, was discussing with Guo Xueming the matter of Xiao Yeyang selling the maidservants bestowed by the Empress Dowager.

“I’m aware of the four maidservants chosen by the Empress Dowager; they truly have excellent appearances. Yeyang returned and immediately sold two, which shows he is not a man given to lust,” Madam Guo said with satisfaction.

Guo Xueming nodded.

Madam Guo chuckled, “When I saw Miss Yan before, I did have some worries, afraid that Yeyang would be tempted by her beauty, but now I can rest a bit easier.”

Guo Xueming hesitated, “It’s true that Brother Yeyang is not fond of women, but as soon as he returned, he beat two maidservants half to death and sold them off. Is his nature not… a bit too cruel and heartless?”

Madam Guo fell silent, “Since I have come to Ningmen Prefecture, it’s proper for Yeyang to come and visit upon his return. After we meet him, we’ll see what he has really turned into.”

Guo Xueming suddenly asked, “Mother, the Jiang family has also come to Ningmen Prefecture. Who do you think Brother Yeyang will visit first?”

Without a second thought, Madam Guo replied, “Naturally, our family.”
