The matter of Yan Ruoxi being driven out reached Shuangyue, who then told Jiang Ning.
"Miss Yan was driven out?" Jiang Ning was astonished.
Shuangyue nodded. "The lord ordered that from now on, no unrelated person may enter the residence, so Miss Yan was expelled."
Chu Yunli drove Yan Ruoxi out, forbidding her from entering the residence…
No… it can’t be…
Yan Ruoxi clenched the corner of her clothes. The poison she had added was almost identical to one of the wound medicine’s ingredients, so it would not be detected. Besides, even if it were discovered, no one would know she was the one who had poisoned it.
Yan Ruoxi’s heart pounded, nearly bursting from her throat. She lifted her face and said, "Brother Chu, isn’t this the wound medicine?"
Chu Yunli began recuperating in his private residence. The poison had already been dispelled, and as long as his injuries healed, it would be no great problem.
But Jiang Ning kept a close watch, forbidding him from practicing swordplay or martial arts.
“No, I am the doctor and you are the patient—you must obey me.”
Wen Mingzhu, half pulling and half acting coquettish, led the Crown Prince away. At the doorway, she still remembered to remind Lord Wen: "Father, you must think carefully before acting!"
After she finished speaking, she took the Crown Prince by the arm and walked out. The Crown Prince’s mind was entirely occupied with how to tease Wen Mingzhu. "None of you need to see me off." He said.
"Your humble servant respectfully sends off Your Highness." Lord Wen, together with all members of the Wen family, knelt in the main hall to respectfully send off the Crown Prince.
"Wretched thing, you actually dared to snap your elder brother’s wrist? Do you even remember what your surname is?" Lord Wen was so angry he stomped his feet.
Wen Qingwan lowered her head so that no one could see her expression, and only a faint voice was heard: "Father, my surname is Wen."
"You still remember your surname is Wen? You show no respect for elders or hierarchy—do you want to be expelled from the Wen family genealogy?"
Wen Qingwan did not want to stay to please the Wen family; she only wanted to see Wen Mingzhu tearfully beg her to remain, just to stir up trouble.
Another thing was that she wanted to know how Wen Mingzhu’s system differed from her own merit mall.
Xiao Jin could ignore anyone else’s words, but his little girl’s words he must obey; after all, she was still young, and it was natural for her to be reluctant to part with her parents.
Hi Erudites,
Sorry for the super long hiatus. Its been a bad year for me.. Though there were also a lot of good too, its just been really difficult the past months. Its getting better now and moving on with life despite the highs and the lows. I am going back to translating this coming October. Thank you for the support and again I apologize for making you wait for so long. I'll try to make back to back releases to make up for it.
See you all!
Sincerely,
Runa
