Chapter 144 Doubt

Yuemei picked up the calming incense and went out in despair and fear.

Ji Yunchu looked at Yuemei in the mirror and smiled viciously. From the day Deng Qiqi joined forces with her, he was destined to die at her hands.

At the same time, Wei Luoyan began to have nightmares and was worried about gains and losses all day long.

"Don't go, Yunchu!"

Wei Luoyan frowned and his body was covered in sweat.

"The Nanhou Mansion is in pieces, you can't blame me for everything!"

"Young Master, Young Master..." Shuda called Wei Luoyan worriedly.

Wei Yanyue came to see Wei Luoyan and found that Wei Luoyan was trapped in a dream and unable to extricate himself.

"Brother, what's going on?"

"I don't know, but you have been like this for several days."

Wei Yanyue frowned and looked at Wei Luoyan who was scratching with his eyes closed. She pursed her lips with a little disgust. She would get married with Lin Jinhu in two days.

She came to her brother, originally wanting to tell him that he didn't need to send her off on the wedding day, because Lin Jinhu was not her ideal man, and she would divorce him sooner or later.

"Oh, it hurts, it's itchy and painful!" Wei Luoyan tore open the collar of his shirt and scratched himself hard.

Wei Yanyue was shocked when she saw the red bloodstain on her brother's chest.

"It's so serious, Shuda, why did brother suddenly go crazy? Was he poisoned?"

Shuda shook his head solemnly, "During this period, the young master has been recuperating in Nanhou Mansion and has never left. His food, clothing and daily necessities have been checked, so no one would have poisoned him."

Wei Yanyue didn't believe it. His brother had always been in good health and had no chronic illness.

She looked at the bed and suddenly saw the sachet next to the pillow.

Wei Yanyue strode forward, picked up the sachet and questioned Shuda.

"What is this? Who gave it to my brother? This sachet looks newly made, Shuda! You are so brave to hide it from me. Who did my brother meet while he was recovering in the mansion?"

Shuda looked at the sachet and evaded the question, "Miss, this... this is a sachet made by the maid in the young master's room. The young master thought it smelled good, so he placed it next to his pillow."

Wei Yanyue said sternly, "You are lying! How could my brother cherish something made by a girl? Unless it was made by Ji Yunchu! Right?"

Seeing that he could no longer hide the truth, Shuda had to confess.

"It was indeed done by Miss Ji. After the young master was injured, she came to the mansion to visit him."

Wei Yanyue dropped the sachet in her hand in disgust and stepped on it twice.

"Ji Yunchu only wants to be the Crown Princess. How could she be so kind as to come to Nanhou Mansion to visit my brother? She must have something to ask of my brother. Shuda, tell me the truth, why did she come to see my brother?"

"I didn't do anything. I just talked to the young master for a few words and then left." Shuda bent down guiltily, picked up the sachet, and dusted off the sachet.

If the young master wakes up and doesn't see the sachet, he will definitely be angry.

Wei Yanyue was furious. "Shuda, it's already this hour, and you still want to hide it from me. If you are loyal to the Nanhou Mansion, you should tell me the truth!"

Shuda paused in patting the sachet, looked up at Wei Yanyue, then turned to look at Wei Luoyan who had a painful look on his face, and decided to tell Wei Yanyue about Ji Yunchu's request for the young master to let Deng Qiqi go.

Wei Yanyue became even angrier after hearing this.

"Deng Qiqi hurt me so badly. My brother was really blinded by Ji Yunchu. He even agreed to let Deng Qiqi go. I'm so angry!"

She glared at Shuda with flaming eyes, "Where did Ji Yunchu take Deng Qiqi? Have someone take me there! I want to see what Ji Yunchu wants to do."

Seeing that Wei Yanyue was immersed in anger, Shuda quickly asked someone to take Wei Yanyue to another courtyard.

Wei Yanyue brought a dozen servants and rushed to the other courtyard, where they unexpectedly saw Deng Qiqi falling ill. She said in astonishment, "His symptoms are somewhat similar to my brother's."

"Miss, are we going to smash it again?"

Wei Yanyue raised her head and glared at Deng Qiqi arrogantly, "Ji Yunchu is quite nice to Deng Qiqi, and actually let Deng Qiqi live in such a comfortable house. Humph! Smash it all!"

Yuemei had just taken out some incense from the house and wanted to light it for Deng Qiqi to smell. She saw Wei Yanyue and his men smashing the villa, so she quickly ran back to the Duke's Mansion to call for help.

Ji Yunchu was surprised that Wei Yanyue came to her house. She secretly cursed Wei Luoyan for being useless as he had clearly promised her to keep it a secret from Wei Yanyue.

She also brought a dozen servants with her to resist the people in Wei Yanyue's hands.

"Ji Yunchu, you are finally here!"

Wei Yanyue swung the whip in his hand vigorously, "You knew that Deng Qiqi and I had a grudge, and you still instigated my brother to let Deng Qiqi go, Ji Yunchu, you are deliberately making things difficult for me!"

When Ji Yunchu saw Wei Yanyue being arrogant, she knelt down gracefully and saluted.

"Miss Wei, don't be so quick to get angry. As your best friend, I will not let the person who offended you go."

Ji Yunchu didn't know that Deng Qiqi woke up briefly when she said this. He glanced at Ji Yunchu sinisterly, and then hugged her twitching body.

Wei Yanyue tightened the whip, wanting to hit Deng Qiqi.

"Bah! You took him to another courtyard to raise him. Do you think I'm blind?"

Ji Yunchu suppressed her fear of the whip and walked closer to Wei Yanyue and whispered.

"Miss Wei, take a close look at Deng Qiqi's face. He has been poisoned and will not live long. Don't complain. This is something only you and I know. No one else can know."

Wei Luoyan was stunned to hear Deng Qiqi humming: "It's so itchy..."

She grabbed Ji Yunchu's wrist and asked angrily, "Why are my brother's symptoms exactly the same as Deng Qiqi's? Did you poison my brother?"

Ji Yunchu was terrified. It was impossible for Wei Luoyan to be poisoned at this moment. Moreover, the amount of poison she gave Wei Luoyan was much less than that of Deng Qiqi. The sachet in Wei Luoyan's hand could temporarily suppress the poison.

"Miss Wei, you wronged me. Young Master Wei was so kind to me, how could I possibly poison him? Since Miss Wei said his symptoms were similar to Deng Qiqi's, I will go to Nanhou Mansion to see him now."

Wei Yanyue has no intention of letting Ji Yunchu go. She wants her brother to see through Ji Yunchu's evil heart today.

Just as she was pulling Ji Yunchu, she suddenly heard a man's angry voice behind her.

"Wei Yanyue, you really came to see this adulterer! You are about to marry me, but you are still entangled with him!"

Lin Jinhu was so angry that his heart ached. Wei Yanyue, this little bitch, was cheating on him behind his back.

If the little beggar on the street hadn't told him, he would still have been kept in the dark by Wei Yanyue.

When Ji Yun first saw Lin Jinhu clinging to Wei Yanyue, she felt very happy. She just wanted to shake Wei Yanyue off and go to Nanhou Mansion to see Wei Luoyan, but Wei Yanyue wouldn't let go.

"Miss Wei, since Mr. Lin is looking for you, then you two can chat. I'll go to Nanhou Mansion to wait for you first." Ji Yunchu pulled back her hand and left quickly.

"I haven't finished asking your question yet, you can't leave!"

Wei Yanyue took a step forward to catch up with Ji Yunchu, but saw Lin Jinhu immediately blocking her way.

"Lin Jinhu, get out of my way!"

Lin Jinhu glared at Wei Yanyue with anger. He rolled up his sleeves, put his hands on his waist, and looked at Wei Yanyue arrogantly.

"Wei Yanyue, the emperor has granted us a marriage, and you are mine. If I see you cheating on me again, I will break your legs!"

"Wow!" Wei Yanyue stomped his feet in frustration.

"Lin Jinhu, who gave you the guts to break my legs? The emperor asked me to marry you, not to listen to you. I think you better be careful, or I will kill you!"
