After Meng Yin left, Gu Huai sat down on the stool and coughed several times.

He opened the handkerchief, saw the black blood inside, and threw it aside casually.

Ah You came in from outside and said, "Young Master..."

Gu Huai said: "Ayou, you will go to the place I arranged the day after tomorrow."

Ayou's eyes were a little red. He lowered his head and stammered, not knowing what to say.

Gu Huai said: "Is Ayin gone?"

Ayou nodded.

"Did you send anyone to follow her?"

"Sent... Sir, why are you doing this..."

Gu Huai sighed: "You don't understand. At the last moment, people just want to fulfill the obsession in their hearts."

After he finished speaking, he started coughing again, and Ayou hurried forward to help him calm down.

Gu Huai said calmly: "Are you all ready?"

Ayou said: "Everything is ready."

Gu Huai stood up and walked towards the study.

Meng Yin returned to the Soul-Devouring Palace in a daze, and Qiao Yi hurried to greet her.

"Qiao Yi, how is Gu Ling?" Meng Yin asked.

Qiao Yi saw her red eyes and said worriedly, "Madam, do you want to go and have a rest first?"

Meng Yin shook her head and said, "I'm fine. I'll go see Gu Ling."

Qiao Yi said, "The dark circles under Lord Gu's eyes have disappeared, but his complexion is still not good."

Meng Yin said, "Okay, Qiao Yi, go ahead and get busy."

Qiao Yi stood there, looking at Meng Yin's somewhat shaky back, feeling distressed.

She had been guarding the Soul-Devouring Palace for a whole night and was already exhausted. Now Gu Ling was poisoned and she was forced to marry someone she didn't love.

Meng Yin dragged her feet into the house, where Lu Yun was still guarding Gu Ling.

Seeing Meng Yin, Lu Yun said, "Madam, Lord Gu looks much better." He took out the jade slip from his arms, "Madam, the jade slip."

Meng Yin took it and looked at it for a few seconds, then sat down beside the bed and said, "That's good. Lu Yun, you are his confidant, so keep the jade slip for him."

Lu Yun hesitated and said, "Madam, why don't we think of other ways?"

Meng Yin shook her head and said, "No, we don't know what poison Gu Ling was poisoned with. Wasting time is just gambling with his life... I can't afford it, and the Soul Devouring Palace can't afford it either."

She held Gu Ling's hand and seemed to be talking to herself: "It's just marrying someone. I will come back when Gu Ling wakes up."

Lu Yun said: "Madam, are you planning to use Mr. Gu?"

Meng Yin's eyes turned fierce and he said, "That's right."

Lu Yun said: "What if he finds out something and tampered with the detoxification?"

Meng Yin was silent for a moment, then said, "I am really marrying him and I won't do anything. You just watch him while he detoxifies."

Lu Yun said: "Madam, I am worried that when Lord Gu wakes up, he will..."

Meng Yin looked at him, smiled and said, "I can't care about that anymore. Remember to say something good for me when the time comes."

Lu Yun nodded. He knew that Gu Ling would not do anything to Meng Yin, but he would definitely not let Gu Huai go.

"By the way, there is no need to check the person who sent the flare." Meng Yin said.

Lu Yun was startled and asked, "Why? Madam, do you know who it is?"

Meng Yin said: "Yes. Okay, you go down first."

Lu Yun didn't ask any more questions, just bowed and left.

Looking at the unconscious person in front of him, Meng Yin felt a pang of bitterness and aching pain in his heart.

"Gu Ling, please don't be angry when you wake up. I have no choice but to do this. Then I will become your savior, and I will have to think about what reward I will ask you for."

As Meng Yin spoke, tears fell onto his hands.

She suddenly thought of a hellish joke. When Gu Ling woke up, the girl he had been thinking about became his sister-in-law. How devastated would he be?

"Gu Huai, that selfish guy, actually framed you and me, and there's nothing we can do about him..." Meng Yin wiped away her tears, "I'm so angry."

"Wait until he heals you, and then I'll show you how I'll take revenge on him!"

Meng Yin straightened up slightly, touched Gu Ling's forehead with her forehead, and said: "In order to save you, I will have someone not tell you tomorrow. I will feel at ease only if you are okay."

She raised her head, and tears dripped into the corners of Gu Ling's eyes, and then slid down, as if he was the one crying.

"Ayin, how are you going to retaliate against me?" Gu Huai's voice rang out. He had just come to suppress the poison in Gu Ling, and when he heard Meng Yin mumbling, he stood at the door and listened.

Meng Yin turned around and glared at him.

Gu Huai was not angry, and there was even a smile on his face.

He stepped forward, pressed a few acupuncture points on Gu Ling, and took out a white porcelain bottle.

Meng Yin helped Gu Ling up and took the medicine from his hand.

After finishing, Meng Yin didn't look at him much, just looked at Gu Ling.

Gu Huai said softly: "It's getting late, come back with me."

Meng Yin said calmly: "Why do you have to come back to Gu Mansion? Can't you come here to pick me up tomorrow?"

Gu Huai explained: "I have calculated the time. Tomorrow afternoon is an auspicious time. You can stay at the Gu Mansion, so you don't have to get up too early in the morning to dress up."

Meng Yin said: "Come and detoxify him tomorrow."

Gu Huai nodded: "It's a deal, I won't lie to you."

"This medicine suppresses the toxicity. I will come to detoxify it tomorrow morning and tomorrow night. So, Ayin, come with me."

Meng Yin pursed her lips, put Gu Ling's hand under the quilt, and said coldly: "Okay."

Gu Huai smiled, stood up and waited for her.

Meng Yin didn't see that after they left, Gu Ling, who was unconscious on the bed, suddenly frowned, clenched his hands into fists, and veins bulged.

It was already dark. Normally, under such moonlight, Meng Yin would sit in the yard with Gu Ling to enjoy it, but in this situation, she only felt sad.

She is getting married, but it's not the person she loves.

Nian Nian and the other two were not around, so she was not happy at all.

Gu Huai helped her get on the carriage and sat in front of her. Meng Yin turned her head to look outside, not wanting to even glance at him.

Gu Huai said: "Ayin."

Meng Yin said: "Speak."

Gu Huai said: "Nothing, I just wanted to call you."

Meng Yin pursed her lips speechlessly, "Boring, why are you so boring!"

The anger that she had been suppressing in her heart suddenly rose up. The man in front of her was the one who harmed Gu Ling. How could she be kind to him? Now she had an idea to torture him.

Meng Yin thought, if he doesn't like me, then if I am unreasonable, willful and capricious, let's see if he still likes me!

Meng Yin did the same. She shouted, "I want to eat candied haws, now, immediately, right now!"

Gu Huai was stunned and looked outside. The dark street was empty. There was no one selling candied haws. Most of the shops were closed.

He said, "Can we eat tomorrow? It's too late today."

Meng Yin covered her ears and shook her head, saying, "I don't want to hear it! Don't you like me? Why can't you even meet this requirement? And you still say you like me? If it were Gu Ling, he would definitely find a way!"

Seeing that Gu Huai didn't say anything, Meng Yin continued to mock him: "Tsk, is this what you call love? You're not just attracted by my looks, are you? You're attracted by my beauty!"

Gu Huai defended himself: "I didn't, no matter what you look like I..."

"Ah! Stop talking, it's so corny! I don't want to listen. I must eat candied haws tonight!" Meng Yin interrupted him, being unreasonable to the extreme.

She glanced at Gu Huai, thinking that his face would turn ugly, but unexpectedly he was only looking at her, and the skin under his eyes was a little flushed.

Meng Yin clicked his tongue and thought that he should take more medicine!

Gu Huai stood up and sat next to her, then patted her on the back.

Meng Yin moved aside in disgust and shouted, "What are you doing!"

Gu Huai smiled and said in a coaxing tone: "Okay, then I'll go buy it for you. You go home first and wait for me to come back."

Meng Yin frowned and looked at him, not quite believing that he would agree to this.

Without waiting for her answer, Gu Huai stopped the carriage. Before getting off, he turned back and said, "Can I just buy one? My teeth hurt if I eat sweets at night."

Meng Yin didn't know what to say for a moment. Gu Huai agreed with her answer and got off the carriage.

Ah You said, "Sir, where can you find candied haws at this time of night? Isn't Miss Meng deliberately making things difficult for you..."

Gu Huai looked at the direction the carriage left and said, "She is angry with me, so it's good for her to vent. Ah You, go call your men and look around the city to see if there are any shops selling candied haws."

Ah You agreed, and before leaving, he said, "Sir, what if they are all sold out?"

Gu Huai pondered for a moment and said, "Is there a book that teaches how to make candied haws? Find one."

Ah You reluctantly agreed, and immediately felt that the young master was beyond help.
