Chapter 416 Chen Mansion
“Wa wah wah…” Suddenly, Xiaoyue opened her little mouth and let out a loud cry.
Although this cry carries a bit of grievance and fear, it is more of the joy and vitality after life has regained its brilliance.
Hearing this cry, Chu Zixi, who had been tense all the time, finally breathed a sigh of relief. She carefully pulled out the silver needles from the acupuncture points and put them away, then raised her head and looked at Yun Mengsi with a slightly tired but relieved look, and said softly: "Cousin, don't worry, Xiaoyue'er is fine for the time being."
Yun Mengsi nodded immediately after hearing this, and looked at Chu Zixi with tears in her eyes, her gratitude overflowing with words. "Xi'er, thank you, thank you for saving Xiaoyue'er and me. If anything happens to Xiaoyue'er, I, I..."
Yun Mengsi wrapped the baby gently and carefully, as if she was holding the most precious and fragile treasure in the world.
She carefully picked up Xiaoyue and comforted her softly, "My dear Xiaoyue, it's okay, it's okay..." Her gentle tone was like the breeze blowing across the lake on a spring day, carrying a mother's unique love and warmth.
Seeing this, Chu Zixi, who was standing nearby, gently reached out and patted the back of Yun Mengsi's hand, conveying silent comfort with this simple action.
"Cousin, we must get to the bottom of Xiaoyue's poisoning! We can't let this danger continue to exist."
After hearing this, Yun Mengsi nodded hurriedly, her eyes burning with rage and determination. At this moment, she wanted to immediately find out the vicious person who dared to harm her little girl.
Yun Mengsi frowned tightly, the wrinkles between his brows were as deep as the ravines in the mountains and rivers, reflecting a faint sense of sadness.
"Xi'er, Xiaoyue is still so young. She only drinks milk from her wet nurse. And the wet nurse who feeds Xiaoyue was carefully selected by my mother. She is gentle and kind. She definitely doesn't have the slightest intention to harm anyone. But who is so cruel that Xiaoyue was poisoned?" At this point, Yun Mengsi's voice became low and trembling slightly, as if every word carried the heavy worry and fear in her heart. Her eyes stared at Xiaoyue in her arms, full of confusion and bewilderment, and also revealed her deep fear of this unknown enemy.
"Cousin, don't worry, the truth will eventually come out. I'll go to the Chen Mansion with you and maybe we can find something."
Yun Mengsi looked up, a hint of gratitude and hope flashing in her eyes.
"Well, let's get going now." Yun Mengsi just finished speaking, and suddenly, as if he thought of something, his face changed slightly, revealing a little guilt, and slowly said: "Oh, I'm so sorry, Xier. You just came back, and you haven't had time to rest well, and I came here in such a hurry to bother you..."
Chu Zixi heard this and shook her head gently, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, outlining a faint smile. That smile not only contained a deep understanding of Yun Mengsi, but also was full of deep love for this young niece.
She consoled me softly, "Cousin, what are you talking about? How can you be so distant? I'm really fine and in good spirits! After all, Xiaoyue is my niece. She's been poisoned, so how can I not worry about her safety all the time? Let's set off quickly and try to find out the truth as soon as possible so that Xiaoyue can get out of this crisis as soon as possible."
After saying this, the two of them rode at full speed to Chen's house.
After arriving, they headed straight towards the East Courtyard.
When I entered the house, I saw the wet nurse kneeling on the ground with tears on her face. She kept mumbling to herself, sometimes blaming herself, and sometimes trying her best to defend herself, insisting that she had absolutely no intention of harming others.
Chu Zixi was standing quietly aside at this moment. Her eyes, bright as stars and sharp as an eagle, quickly and carefully scanned every corner and every detail in the house, not missing any clues that might become the key clues.
"Cousin, don't worry. Let Xiaoyue have a good rest. Let's see if there is anything suspicious in this room." Chu Zixi said softly, with an unquestionable firmness in her tone.
Yun Mengsi nodded after hearing this.
Chu Zixi widened her eyes, and her gaze like two torches scanned the room back and forth, not missing any corner that might contain clues.
She first quickly moved to Xiaoyue'er's bed, nimbly turned over the bedding with her hands, and carefully checked every stitch and gap, even under the bed.
Then, she picked up Xiaoyue'er's clothes one by one and repeatedly examined them against the sunlight, trying to find even the slightest trace of something unusual. However, after all the trouble, the result was disappointing - nothing was found.
Chu Zixi was not discouraged. She took a deep breath and continued walking towards the wet nurse's room.
As soon as she opened the door, she walked straight to the closet beside the bed and started searching quickly.
The drawers were opened one by one, and the items inside were taken out and examined one by one.
Not only that, even the sundries boxes placed in the corners did not escape her eyes. Unfortunately, she still found nothing here.
Afterwards, Chu Zixi came to the kitchen.
She searched pots and pans, firewood, rice, oil, salt...everywhere she could think of, but still couldn't find any useful clues.
Suddenly, in the spacious and bright master bedroom, a dazzling light flashed past the window like lightning. This sudden light, like a torch in the darkness, instantly attracted all her attention.
She looked closely and found that it was a pot of orchid placed by the window.
This pot of orchid is in full bloom at this moment, the petals are delicate and colorful, emitting bursts of rich and charming fragrance.
The fragrance seemed to have life, like a wisp of smoke, penetrating into her nostrils.
Just now, she just glanced at it casually, because based on her years of knowledge and experience of various flowers and plants, she knew that this orchid was not poisonous. Therefore, she did not take it seriously at that time, just thinking it was just an ordinary orchid.
However, at this moment, for some reason, she walked towards the window as if possessed.
She slightly bent her slender waist, slowly approached the orchid, and began to carefully examine the orchid in front of her that looked ordinary but seemed to contain a mystery.
