Chapter 1328 Shouldn't we insist?
Father Wen looked at the disappearing figure with a headache and continued to mutter, "My wife is really ruthless. She doesn't use the medicine on women, but on her own son."
"My lord, please don't blame my wife. If this medicine were given to Lady Su, Chi'er might have her husband immediately cured her, and then we who devised this plan would be executed one by one."
"My lord, please don't be soft-hearted. My wife said that the Wen family will depend on him from now on. We must try our best. If this method doesn't work, we'll think of something else. In the end, we have to get him into the Su family."
"By applying this to Chi'er, we've given Lady Su room to back out, haven't we?"
Listening to what the two were saying, Wen's father was still a little worried, but he thought that if they succeeded, Chi'er probably wouldn't be too angry afterward.
"So... Chi'er already knows we have ill intentions, and she's not even going to the guest rooms. Will she fall for our trap later?"
"Rest assured, my lord, we have put the medicine in the incense burner, and there was a catalyst in that cup of tea that he drank alone. As long as he enters the room, it will definitely work."
"Then let's go there now?"
"My lord, my wife is already observing from the pavilion over there. Shall we go over there too?"
"Alright!" Father Wen immediately set off towards the attic.
Unaware of their plan, Su Yueyao and the other two walked towards Wenren Qichi's courtyard without giving it much thought. Upon entering the courtyard, they found it to be quiet and elegant, unlike the luxurious surroundings outside.
“My lady, I am usually busy with official duties and do not like anything too fancy, so the courtyard is a bit simple. Please don’t mind.” Wenren Qichi explained subconsciously when he felt Su Yueyao’s gaze.
"It's quite elegant. If you like this kind of environment after you move into the Su family mansion, you can renovate it like this," Su Yueyao said with a smile.
“Ah Yao, Xingchen’s courtyard is quite quiet, and the west wing is still empty. Wenren can move in there.”
"Xingchen's courtyard?" Su Yueyao thought for a moment, and it did look quite similar to this place. It seemed that Cheng Yan lived in the east wing.
"Don't you think Xingchen's courtyard is similar to this place, quiet and elegant?"
“It does look like it. Wenren, you should like it when you move in. Chengyan lives in the east wing of Xingchen Courtyard. He doesn’t make a fuss, so he shouldn’t disturb you.”
"I'm fine with staying anywhere, thank you for your trouble, Your Majesty and Lord," Wenren Qichi replied, feeling a warmth in her heart upon hearing their words.
“We’re all family, so just say what you like. We don’t have all those complicated rules in our family. You’ve lived in your courtyard the longest, so you’ll feel comfortable living here if you like it,” Su Yueyao said with a smile.
Wenren Qichi listened to Su Yueyao's words and looked at her quietly, her heart pounding.
At that moment, a servant came in from outside the courtyard carrying a tray with two brand-new sets of clothes on it.
"Your Majesty, why don't you and the Lord change your clothes first?"
Wenren Qichi glanced at it a few times, and wanted to raise his hand to check it, but then he remembered that it was not appropriate for him to touch the Queen's clothes in his current status, so he stopped.
No problem was visible to the naked eye. He took the tray from them and said, "You can go now!"
"Yes, young master." The servant bowed respectfully and withdrew.
Yang Qianxun took the clothes that were meant to be changed for Su Yueyao from Wenren Qichi.
Wenren Qichi pushed open the door and went in, saying to Yang Qianxun, "My lord, please check these two sets of clothes carefully to see if there's anything wrong. I'm worried they..."
"Let me see." Yang Qianxun carefully picked up the clothes and touched them thoroughly.
After entering the house, Su Yueyao found a place to sit down and briefly looked around. There were no luxurious decorations in the outer room, but there were some wood carvings. The room was simple and clean, with a faint fragrance.
She glanced at the clothes in the inner room and then looked away. Watching the two people carefully inspecting the clothes in front of her, she felt that there shouldn't be any problem with the clothes, since they were too obvious.
Although Wenren Qichi said that his parents had ill intentions, it would not benefit them if they actually took action. If they drugged the woman or did something else, Nanfeng's Fengyu Guards would be more than enough to make them suffer afterwards.
It's not worth taking such a risk.
After the two finished checking, he said, "My lord, there's nothing wrong with these clothes. I'll wait at the door. Why don't you help the lady change her clothes first?"
Yang Qianxun nodded, picked up the clothes and was about to walk towards Su Yueyao when he suddenly stumbled. Wenren Qichi immediately helped him up.
Su Yueyao immediately stood up and went over to ask, "What's wrong with Qianqian? Are you feeling unwell? Could there really be something wrong with these clothes?"
Yang Qianxun felt his head was a little heavy and vaguely sensed a fragrance in the room.
"Wenren, what kind of incense are you using in your room?"
Wenren Qichi realized what was happening, took a closer sniff, and discovered a faint fragrance. His face instantly turned ashen, and he began searching the room for a place to burn incense.
He didn't find it in the outer room, so he walked into the inner room and found that incense was burning on the bedside table and by the window. Without thinking, Wenren Qichi took a glass of water from the table and splashed it over the incense. The incense went out the instant it went out, but the fragrance was even stronger than before.
In an instant, Wenren Qichi felt a burning heat in his body and trembled slightly. He immediately grabbed the table next to him for support.
Yang Qianxun, who was outside, felt a little dizzy, but he still managed to stay upright.
"Ah... Yao... I have an antidote pill in my sleeve, could you get it for me?"
"Oh, oh..." Su Yueyao helped Yang Qianxun sit down in a chair, took out two or three porcelain bottles from his sleeve, and was about to ask Yang Qianxun which one was the antidote, but Yang Qianxun had already fainted.
"Qianqian...Qianqian...wake up, which one is the antidote?"
At this moment, Wenren Qichi inside let out a muffled groan and said intermittently, "Su... Lady... hurry... help the lord walk."
Su Yueyao almost without hesitation lifted Yang Qianxun onto her shoulders, intending to walk out, but found that the unconscious Yang Qianxun was not someone she could lift at all, and she almost fell over the moment she got up.
Su Yueyao decided to go out and look for someone. She gently placed Yang Qianxun on a chair, then quickly walked to the door and pulled hard, only to find it wouldn't open...
Su Yueyao immediately pounded on the door: "Is anyone home? Let me out!"
"Is anyone home?" Su Yueyao knocked on the door for a while until her hands were numb, but there was no response from outside.
Meanwhile, in the opposite attic, seeing the group shaking at the door, Wen's father immediately realized that the door was locked and said worriedly, "My lady, didn't we say that Su Yueyao should choose for herself? If she doesn't want to be with Chi'er, shouldn't we not force her?"
Who locked the door?
“I arranged for someone to lock up my father; this is a rare opportunity! We can’t miss it.”
