Chapter 184 Notes
The Marquis of Zhenbei's guilt did not last long, because he soon arrived at the Marquis of Zhenbei's residence, and Yunyi mentioned the datura again, so he began to suspect his wife in the capital.
"The situation is not bad." Yunyi glanced at Zhenbei Hou, and could roughly guess what he was thinking, but she would not point it out. "Now, as long as those poisons are not added to the food, the toxins will be gradually eliminated, and then there will be no problem."
Marquis Zhenbei nodded, then looked at Yunyi as she took out a ginseng from her bag, and immediately became speechless.
This is a 500-year-old wild ginseng, which is often hard to come by, and this woman just haphazardly stuffed it into the package?
"Lord Marquis, please have the military doctor examine it? Let's see if it's five hundred years old?" Yunyi glanced at the Marquis of Zhenbei.
Marquis Zhenbei shook his head: "I recognize him."
"I didn't fool you." Yun Yi smiled and went to the empty room next door to start brewing medicine. Of course, this five-hundred-year-old ginseng could not be used with Bai An. She only used some ginseng slices from her space, since she was the one who poisoned his body.
After being pricked with needles and given medicine, Bai An finally woke up, but she was very weak.
“The second young master needs to rest for at least a month.” Yunyi put away her tools. “I will make some pills for him. He should be fine after taking them for seven days.”
"An'er, what do you think?" Marquis Zhenbei asked softly.
"Father, I thought I was dead." Bai An's tears fell. "There are some things I don't want to do, but I don't know why, I just can't control myself, sob sob..."
"Father knows that An'er has suffered." The Marquis of Zhenbei patted the back of his hand and then put his hand under the quilt. "Rest well, Father is here."
Bai An glanced at Yun Yi, then obediently closed her eyes.
Yunyi curled the corners of her lips; this kid was quite savvy.
Marquis Zhenbei kept his promise and really gave her ten thousand taels of silver: "Chief Yun, how about we renegotiate our cooperation?"
"How do we cooperate?" Yun Yi raised an eyebrow slightly.
"Your medical skills are superb, and you can work for me. I will not treat you unfairly."
"The Marquis won't treat me badly, will he? He's not going to make me his concubine, is he?" Yunyi chuckled.
"If you agree, that would be best; if not... you can become my advisor."
"The Marquis is quite forward-thinking this time, daring to appoint a woman as his advisor."
"That's because you, the gang leader, have that ability."
"Then thank you for your kindness, Lord Marquis, but unfortunately I'm not interested." Yun Yi shook her head. "I still prefer a cash transaction. After all, Lord Marquis is so generous. You can continue to contact me if you need anything in the future. Of course, I will still provide after-sales service for Young Master Bai." She then yawned. "Lord Marquis, I'm hungry and tired from traveling and receiving treatment."
Marquis Zhenbei hurriedly ordered people to arrange meals and rooms.
The next day, Yunyi took out the pills: "I have written the dosage and precautions here. You must strictly follow these instructions, or you will have to bear the consequences yourself."
The Marquis of Zhenbei took it and glanced at it. It listed a series of taboos in detail, including what could and could not be eaten, what could and could not be done, and then nodded: "Okay."
“Since you agree, Your Highness, please sign your name here.” Yunyi pointed to the paper.
"why?"
"Because I need to keep evidence." Yunyi took out another copy. "I wrote two copies of this, two identical copies. Since you agree, sign them and hand them to me. I don't want to be the scapegoat if something goes wrong in the future."
The Marquis of Zhenbei's lips twitched: "Am I really that untrustworthy?"
“That’s right.” Yunyi nodded. “You have power and influence. If you fail to take good care of things and something goes wrong, and you blame it on me, then I will have no way to defend myself. With this, I can file a complaint with the emperor. If that doesn’t work, I can let the whole world know. That’s probably not the result the Marquis wants to see, is it?”
Left with no other choice, Marquis Zhenbei could only sign his name and was even forced to write "I have fully understood".
Yunyi put the paper away with satisfaction, then handed over another one: "You must strictly follow this for the next month. You can skip eating if you can, but you absolutely cannot touch anything that is not allowed to be eaten, especially fish and shrimp."
Marquis Zhenbei nodded, then instructed the steward to take good care of the second young master.
Yunyi then took her leave.
"Young Miss, that piece of shit Bai An is disgusting to look at. Saving him would only bring more trouble." Hong Yi rarely swore.
"Has he ever offended you?"
"No, but I saw his disgusting behavior of bullying men and women. I wanted to teach him a lesson, but he was surrounded by many people at the time, so I didn't have a chance to do anything." Hong Yi took a deep breath, clearly still angry.
"Alright, he won't have a good ending, but he can't die yet." Yunyi laughed. "Otherwise, who will cause trouble for their father?"
"what?"
"Stop 'ah'ing, let's go buy something. I'm going to visit an old friend." Yunyi glanced at Hongyi, then urged her horse to go to a pastry shop.
Carrying several kinds of snacks, Yunyi took Hongyi to Qiao Yue's courtyard.
However, they found the door locked and could only ask the neighbors for directions. They learned that Qiao Yue was injured and had gone home to recover.
Yunyi inquired about it and then went to Qiao Family Village.
Qiaojia Village is not far from Tianyang City, probably only seven or eight miles away. The whole village is located in a mountain valley and is not big, with only seven or eight households. It is even smaller than Xiajia Village, so it is easier to ask for information.
"Sigh, Qiao Yue is really pitiful." The old woman being questioned sighed. "I heard that when they were building the beacon tower, he fell from it and broke his leg. The leader not only refused to give him any compensation, but also said that he had ruined the feng shui of the battlefield and beat him up. Now he's probably..."
Yunyi calmly thanked the other party and then walked towards Qiao Yue's house. However, before she even got there, she could hear a child crying and a man talking inside the house.
"Yan'er, I do care about you. Look, I came here as soon as your man had the accident. The doctor said he can't be cured. Dou Dou is still so young. How can you, a woman, live alone?"
"How I live is none of your business. We've had nothing to do with each other for a long time. You can leave now." Sister-in-law Qiao's voice was choked with sobs.
"Why are you so stubborn? I have money now. Although I can't give you the title of my legal wife, I don't mind that you're a used woman anymore. I'll give you the status of a concubine, at least you'll be able to live a life of comfort. Ah, Zhao Mingyan, you crazy woman, let go..."
