Ning Xue couldn't help but feel worried when she thought that even the imperial physicians were helpless against this cold poison. In the prophetic dream, Huo Beixuan's original wife did not live past a year. She wondered if she would also share the same tragic fate and not be able to survive a year.

Ning Xue thought with resentment that if she really met with misfortune, Huo Beixuan would definitely be buried with her!

After the imperial physician left, Ning Xue and her mother walked into the room. The mother and daughter talked for a long time. Ning Xue then got up and returned to the Cuiyu Pavilion.

Ning's mother wanted to keep her, but Ning Xue firmly refused. She didn't want to live in her parents' home because she was worried that if there were any changes in the future, her parents' home would be implicated. After all, knowing something and not reporting it is also a crime. If she lived alone, the Shangshu Mansion might be able to stay out of the right and wrong.

Although Ning's mother was very worried about Ning Xue, she still sent an extra secret guard to follow her after Ning Xue left to ensure her safety.

After Huo Beixuan returned to the Huo family, he felt more and more uneasy. If it was just Ning Xue, he might not feel worried, but now with the addition of Ning's mother, he really felt it difficult to cope with her. After all, Ning's mother was much more experienced and shrewd than Ning Xue.

Huo Beixuan's thoughts involuntarily drifted to that house. Since the evil spirit could do whatever it wanted to Ning Xue there, there must be some unknown connection with that house.

If he wanted to find the evil spirit, should he go to that house and check it out? He did it as he thought. When night fell quietly, Huo Beixuan walked firmly towards the slum.

Walking along the familiar road again, Huo Beixuan couldn't help but recall Shuang'er, and a feeling of sadness suddenly surged in his heart. It can be said that things and people have really changed!

When he finally arrived at the house, he found it dark and lifeless.

He knew very well that this was an empty house and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

It seemed that he would get nothing tonight, but coming during the day would be too conspicuous. He was really afraid that Ning Xue would know that he was looking for the evil spirit.

Huo Beixuan sighed helplessly and had to turn around and leave.

Just after he left, a man jumped down from the wall of the house. After seeing Huo Beixuan walking around the house, he hurried away, full of doubts.

"Isn't this person a gangster?" the man muttered to himself.

After thinking for a moment, he decided to release a carrier pigeon to deliver the message.

This news soon reached Shangguan Haoxuan's ears. Shangguan Haoxuan touched his nose, full of doubts: What on earth was Huo Beixuan going there for? After all, didn't his mistress sell the house and run away?

It turned out that the two strong men who bought Shuang'er's shabby house were Shangguan Haoxuan's men.

When Shangguan Haoxuan was accidentally spotted by Huo Beixuan that day, he came up with the idea of ​​buying the entire area, thinking that in the future he would not have to worry about being discovered by one or two outsiders when doing business in this area.

Shangguan Haoxuan felt a little curious about Huo Beixuan's move to go to that house again, so he sent someone to inquire.

The results of his inquiries shocked him greatly.

"Ning Xue is really smart! She actually made Huo Beixuan choose to fall on his own!"

Shangguan Haoxuan ran to Shangguan Haoyu's yard excitedly, and couldn't wait to share this amazing discovery with him.

But after hearing this, Shangguan Haoyu just looked at him coldly, as if he already knew everything.

"Brother, why do you think Huo Beixuan went to that house?" Shangguan Haoxuan asked anxiously, unable to suppress his curiosity.

Shangguan Haoyu pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Maybe, he wants to find the evil spirit!"

"Ning Xue had deceived him like this, so he wanted to find an evil spirit to threaten Ning Xue. However, Huo Beixuan was only capable of this..."

Shangguan Haoyu shook his head gently, "Don't pay attention to him."

He looked into the distance and continued thoughtfully, "I think Huo Beixuan has been poisoned deeply. I'm afraid he doesn't have much time left."

After saying that, Shangguan Haoyu stood up and said, "Let's go to Yipinxian for dinner, do you want to go?"

Shangguan Haoxuan hurriedly shook his head and said, "My sister-in-law is at Yipinxian, the couple are having dinner together, why should I join in the fun?"

Shangguan Haoxuan smiled, didn't force it, turned around and left alone. You know, Yipinxian is an asset from the small treasury that the eldest brother gave to the eldest sister-in-law.

……

Yunchang controlled everything from the ingredients to the food materials, and then cooked them. After many attempts, she finally tasted the authentic sauerkraut fish.

They even set preferential prices for new dishes, and when the consumption of each table reaches a certain level, they will give a small plate of sample as a gift to open up new sales channels.

It happened to be launched today, so she was busy at Yipinxian all day.

When Shangguan Haoyu arrived, it was dinner time. Yunchang was checking the menu in the inner room with her eyes curved, and she seemed to be in a very good mood.

"Xiao Shang, it seems that this new dish is very popular!"

“Not bad, it met my expectations.”

Yun Chang folded the menu with a smile, "How come you have time to come here?"

"I once said, wherever you go, I will go, you forgot!"

Yun Chang originally thought that he was jealous at the time and said that out of anger!

"Come on, let's try this new dish. I told you at the beginning that I wouldn't let you lose money."

Shangguan Haoyu smiled silently. This whole restaurant belonged to her, and she actually said it was not a loss!

However, it was all worth it to marry her. Besides, what was hers was also his. How could the distinction between them be so clear?

The two of them went up to the top floor, chose a window seat by the side, and looked out at the lake. The scenery was really nice.

"I wonder how the palace's investigation is going?" Yun Shang asked.

"The person responsible for the incident has now been found. The Shangshu Mansion and we are now officially in opposition," Shangguan Haoyu said calmly.

"Is it just because she is Concubine Ning? Even if she made the mistake first and provoked the trouble first, the Shangshu Mansion still has to support her?" Yun Shang was puzzled.

"If Noble Concubine Ning is punished, it will have a huge impact on the Shangshu Mansion, not only in the officialdom, but also in the interests of all parties. No matter how outrageous the things Noble Concubine Ning does, the Shangshu Mansion must be protected."

Yun Shang nodded in understanding. After hearing this, she finally understood that they were all in the same boat, so how could they capsize?

……

On this day, Huo Beixuan was summoned by the government office to investigate his suspension.

Since he was an official and Wu Shi San was a banned drug, the interrogation was conducted in private.

When they arrived at the government office, the doctor took Huo Beixuan's pulse and he knew that he was doomed!

Sure enough, after taking the patient's pulse, the doctor nodded to the patient and confirmed that it was undoubtedly Wu Shi San plus some unknown toxins.

The official in the government office clapped his hands and dismissed Huo Beixuan from his official position on the spot, and would never employ him again for the rest of his life.

He should have been beaten with twenty sticks, but when the official saw that Huo Beixuan walked unsteadily and feared that someone might die, he did not order him to be beaten and instead drove Huo Beixuan out of the government office.

Huo Beixuan walked out of the government office. The sunlight was so dazzling that he suddenly realized that he was afraid of the light!

He deliberately chose to walk in dark places. He wanted to kill Ning Xue very much, but Ning Xue had guards beside her!

His life now is worse than death.
