Abandoned by the best children? I just take out the space

Chapter 2128 Vomiting Blood

When the maid came to call Wan Shufang, Ming Ruyue had already vomited blood twice and fell into a complete coma.

She hurried to Ming Ruyue's room and smelled blood. She felt the county magistrate's resentful gaze. Wan Shufang felt wronged and subconsciously grabbed Chen Changli's sleeve.

Sensing her uneasiness, Chen Changli held her hand with his backhand and said in an extremely gentle voice: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

After he finished speaking, he looked at the county magistrate coldly. The magistrate immediately put away the resentment in his eyes, and instead turned it into a look of grievance, looking at his wife miserably.

There was a strong smell of blood in the house. Wan Shufang walked to Ming Ruyue, then let go of her hand and took her pulse. This time, she was extremely alert and searched carefully.

Only then did he realize the strangeness of Ming Ruyue's pulse and frowned, "I had already detoxified her two days ago, but the poison keeps coming back. It's obvious that someone is continuing to poison her."

"That is to say, Mr. County Magistrate, there is still a source of poison in your home."

She cast her gaze towards the county magistrate, her eyes were cold. These words made the county magistrate slightly stunned, and then he became even more angry. He no longer cared about Chen Changli's power and could not help but retort: "Madam, you must use evidence when speaking."

"You can't make up a false accusation just because you can't cure her. I personally brought my wife back home, and I sent someone to search the room and found no poison at all."

Looking at the unconscious person on the bed, the county magistrate became angrier and angrier. He felt that Wan Shufang was incompetent and wanted to blame himself and put the responsibility on the county magistrate's office.

Seeing the county magistrate speak rudely to Wan Shufang, Chen Changli immediately stood in front of Wan Shufang and said in a dissatisfied tone: "What did you say?"

"My Lord, am I wrong?" The county magistrate stiffened his neck and said angrily, "Today, even if I don't want this official hat, I still have to say it."

"It's obviously the lady, but her skills are not good enough..." The county magistrate was so angry that he spoke without thinking. Seeing that Chen Changli was about to get angry, Wan Shufang hurriedly stopped him.

He shook his head cautiously at him, then looked at the county magistrate and said calmly, "Okay, I promise you, give me two days, I will be able to find out everything and cure your wife."

“Why should I…” The county magistrate was about to ask why he should trust him, but the next second, a token was thrown into his arms. On the token were the big gold-plated words “Duke’s Mansion”.

"I will guarantee it for Madam. If it fails, the Duke's Mansion will be given to you."

As soon as these words were spoken, the maids around them gasped, then lowered their heads timidly, not daring to be discovered. The county magistrate also widened his eyes in disbelief.

After all, the Duke's Mansion is wealthy and powerful, so how could Chen Changli just give it away?

But he knew that the Duke of the Yong Dynasty had the ability to do so.

With his mind racing, the county magistrate quietly put away the jade pendant and said calmly, "Okay, I'll wait for your good news. If you're cured, I'll present you with a family heirloom as a token of my appreciation."

After saying this, the county magistrate took a deep look at Ming Ruyue, then left with a group of maids, leaving only two nimble maids to serve Wan Shufang.

Chen Changli also stayed in the room to help her. This time, Wan Shufang did not detoxify her. She just suppressed the poison temporarily so that it could not instantly corrode Ming Ruyue's internal organs.

But the symptoms of poisoning did not abate in the slightest.

After doing all this, Wan Shufang took Chen Changli away and went back to the room to rest.

A day passed quickly, and that night, Wan Shufang sneaked into Ming Ruyue's room. Just in case, she also put sleeping smoke in it.

Only after making sure that Ming Ruyue would not wake up did Wan Shufang begin the secret search.

Not long after, she found a secret compartment under the bed. When the lock was loosened, a small porcelain bottle in the compartment appeared. Wan Shufang's face darkened. She took out the porcelain bottle and at just one glance, she discovered the secret of the porcelain bottle.

"Oh, this is obviously a poison powder similar to minerals. Ming Ruyue, you are poisoning yourself, what is your intention?" Wan Shufang looked at the woman with her eyes closed on the bed with a dim gaze, and she couldn't help but clenched the porcelain bottle.

After a long time, she put the bottle back.

She can't take the bottle away. If Ming Ruyue becomes alert, it will be difficult to catch her.

Back in the room, Chen Changli had been waiting for a long time. Seeing Wan Shufang return safely, he breathed a sigh of relief and quickly handed her the spiritual spring water: "Shufang, how is it? Did you find anything?"

"Changli, we guessed correctly. Ming Ruyue is directing and acting in the drama herself." Wan Shufang drank the spiritual spring water in one gulp, with a hint of coldness in her eyes: "In that case, we will play with her."

Wan Shufang put down the cup, leaned close to Chen Changli's ear, and whispered a few words in his ear.

After that, Wan Shufang remained calm and watched the fish and flowers every day, while Chen Changli sent people to secretly monitor Ming Ruyue's every move.

At night, the wind was howling.

It was raining heavily outside, with lightning and thunder. Amidst the rumbling thunder, Ming Ruyue's face turned pale. She took out the poison powder again while no one was around.

She twisted her handkerchief tightly and murmured softly, "One last time, one more time. They will definitely not be able to save me."

After she finished speaking, she opened the porcelain bottle and raised her head to take it when the door of the room was suddenly kicked open. In the lightning, Chen Changli's indifferent face appeared.

The porcelain bottle in Ming Ruyue's hand was also snatched away. Her face turned pale. Seeing that the truth was exposed, Ming Ruyue finally collapsed. Her body went limp and she sat on the ground.

"Tell me, why did you take poison secretly?" Chen Changli played with the small porcelain bottle, his eyes calm, but when he looked at her, he felt an inexplicable pressure.

There was a dead silence in her eyes, and she smiled miserably: "My Lord, the Duke."

"I just wanted to die, is that wrong? I shouldn't be his wife at all. I have someone I love. He forced me to marry him. He is so powerful, there is nothing I can do."

Ming Ruoyue's eyes were filled with tears. When she closed her eyes slightly, tears slid down her delicate face, looking very pitiful.

"I deliberately poisoned myself so that he would think I was seriously ill and let me go so that I could stay with Lu Lang."

When Ming Ruyue mentioned the name Lu Lang, deep affection emerged in her eyes and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise. Seeing her like this, Wan Shufang felt a little bit sorry for her for a moment.

Ming Ruoyue, as if she had thrown away a broken jar, talked about old things.

Through her description, Wan Shufang was able to piece together the circumstances of the past. It turned out that she had been a neighbor living next to the county magistrate's mansion, and they had been in a relationship for many years.

"Ming Ruyue." Wan Shufang called softly, calling the woman back to her senses: "Where did you get this poison powder?"

At this point, she no longer wanted to pursue the matter of Ming Ruyue pretending to be sick. Strictly speaking, it was the county magistrate who was wrong in this matter, breaking up the lovers.

Seeing Wan Shufang questioning the source of the poison powder, Ming Ruyue blinked.

"It was given to me by a mysterious man. He promised that the poison would not be fatal, but would only make me look seriously ill."
