The group's favorite, the blind princess is both a doctor and a poisoner

Early the next morning, sunlight shone into the house, and Su Yuejian opened her eyes in a daze.

Her head was still dizzy and she looked blankly at the curtains above the bed.

She sat up, looked at the quilt covering her body and the shoes and socks she had taken off, rubbed her eyebrows, and got out of bed to get a glass of water.

When I walked to the table, I found a bowl of hangover soup on the table in the outer room.

She drank too much last night and didn't remember what happened. She thought it was all done by Yuzhu and Yinxin.

She picked up the bowl. The soup was still warm. She smiled slightly and drank it all in one gulp.

Fortunately, now that the birthday banquet was over, she could relax for the next two days. She asked no one to disturb her and slept until the afternoon.

Su Yuejian woke up and stretched lazily, then she felt fully revived.

Yuzhu's somewhat anxious voice came from outside the door.

"Miss, are you awake?"

Su Yuejian let her in.

Yuzhu took a visiting card and placed it on the table.

"Miss, His Royal Highness Prince Gong has arrived. He said he was so abrupt yesterday that he almost frightened you. He wants to apologize and invites you to go to the Tea Theatre for some tea and a chat."

"The prince is waiting in the front hall at this moment."

Su Yuejian glanced coldly at the post on the table without even opening it.

She knew exactly what he was planning.

As Gu Congyu's granddaughter, she is no longer a simple and helpless adopted daughter.

Xiao Chengchang wanted to win over the literati, so he showed his courtesy to her.

Apologize?

Su Yuejian sneered.

She simply said, "Don't go. Find a reason to get rid of him. In the future, just reject any invitations he makes. Don't ask me."

Yuzhu nodded and said yes, then walked out.

She came to the front hall, bowed and said respectfully,

"Your Highness, Prince Gong, I'm truly sorry. My young lady has been working hard these days and was frightened yesterday. She felt unwell this morning, with a headache and dizziness. I'm afraid she won't be able to go out for tea with His Majesty."

Su Xuewei, who had just hurried to the door of the hall, breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Yuzhu's reply.

I heard that Prince Gong had come and asked Su Yuejian out. Su Xuewei didn't want to watch Su Yuejian hook up with someone else, so she immediately changed her clothes and put on makeup and rushed over.

She was jealous in her heart, thinking that she was such a foxy woman, even though she was blind, she still seduced the prince.

Are you trying to play hard to get?

After hearing Su Yuejian's refusal, Prince Gong was already a little angry.

It was such an honor for him, a prince, to come and invite her personally.

She didn't even give him any face and refused to show up.

He tried to maintain a gentle tone and said regretfully,

"It's an unfortunate omen that I've arrived. Please convey my apologies. Let Miss Su recover well. I'll come again another day."

I saw Prince Gong get up and walk out the door.

Su Xuewei pretended to be unaware and walked forward and bumped into Xiao Chengchang's arms.

"oops--"

Just as she was about to fall, Xiao Chengchang quickly grabbed her slender waist and supported her.

"Is the second young lady okay?"

Xiao Chengchang looked at the delicate beauty in his arms and asked with a soft smile.

Su Xuewei's cheeks flushed slightly, and she looked frightened and pitiful. She shyly stood up and distanced herself from him.

"Thank you, Your Highness Prince Gong. Wei'er didn't know Your Highness was here and offended His Highness."

Su Xuewei is naturally beautiful and good at pleasing others with a delicate attitude. Basically, men cannot escape her delicate appearance.

Xiao Chengchang looked at the back of her neck that was exposed when she bowed her head, and thought about the feel of her slender waist just now.

Then he thought again, Su Yuejian is just an adopted daughter after all. Although she is Gu Congyu's granddaughter, she is not his biological daughter after all, and cannot be considered a member of the Gu family.

It is Su Xuewei who is the only biological daughter of the Grand Tutor.

Moreover, this woman is known for her talent, so she is a good choice.

Therefore, Xiao Chengchang's attitude was even more gentle and dignified.

"Second Miss, please get up quickly. It was my fault for walking carelessly and almost hurting you."

"I wonder where the Second Miss is going?"

Listening to Xiao Chengchang's concerned words, Su Xuewei smiled tenderly, "I heard that Tea Hundred Plays has newly launched scented tea. Grandma and Dad both love to drink tea. I wanted to buy some for them, so I left in a hurry."

Prince Gong nodded and smiled.

"Second Miss is truly filial. It just so happens that I am also going to the Tea and Hundred Plays. I wonder if I would be lucky enough to go with you?"

Su Xuewei nodded shyly, already feeling very proud in her heart.

She was destined to be the prince's consort. Even if Su Yuejian had Gu Congyu's background, she was still a blind woman who couldn't please a man!

The two of them went out together. Before leaving, Su Xuewei turned back and gave Yuzhu a provocative look.

Yuzhu was very angry when she saw Su Xuewei's smug look. She went back to the yard and told Su Yuejian everything that had just happened, especially Su Xuewei's coquettish and pretentious look!

Su Yuejian reacted indifferently.

"Miss! Aren't you angry? I see that His Royal Highness Prince Gong is very enthusiastic about the Second Miss. If he really likes the Second Miss, then the Second Miss will be so proud!"

Seeing her indignant look, Su Yue smiled and shook her head.

Su Xuewei is not very smart. In her previous life, she relied on Qiao's advice to pave the way for her.

Xiao Chengchang is a scheming and profit-driven person who only cares about himself. It is not certain who is playing tricks on whom between the two of them.

"Okay, I'm going to go out for a while. You and Yinxin help me guard the yard and don't let anyone in."

Yuzhu curled her lips but nodded obediently.

Su Yuejian just received a letter from Li Jingzhu, saying that the sister of the midwife who had taken over the midwife's labor had been found and brought back.

Although she did not encounter any assassins on the way, she escaped several times after hearing that they wanted to find out what happened in the Taifu Mansion.

They had no choice but to tie the man up and place him in a dark room in the basement of the Ji Medical Hall.

After disguising herself as a man, she changed into men's clothes and asked Xuanshuang to take her directly to Ji Medical Hall.

The darkroom was dark and damp, with only a few air holes for ventilation, and the only lighting in the room was a few oil lamps.

The old woman's hands and feet were tied, and she looked at the young man in front of her with fear, trembling.

"Who...who are you? Why are you arresting me?!"

Su Yuejian sat calmly on the wooden bench, looking at her quietly.

"I am from the Taifu Mansion."

Taifu Mansion?!

The old woman seemed to have heard something terrible. She shook her head in fear and muttered to herself.

"Don't...don't kill me, I don't know anything, nothing!"

Su Yuejian raised her eyebrows slightly.

It seemed this person might know more than she thought.

"When Madam Su of the Grand Tutor's Mansion gave birth, was it your sister who attended the birth? Did your sister ever tell you about Madam Su's birth?"

The old lady looked determined, "What Madam Su! What midwifery! I don't know! I don't know anything!"

Su Yuejian sneered, stood up, took out a porcelain bottle, poured out a pill, pinched her mouth and forced it into her mouth.

"This heartbreaking poison is specially made by me. Without my antidote, your internal organs will gradually corrode within an hour and turn into a pool of blood."

As soon as she finished speaking, the old woman suddenly felt unbearable abdominal pain and struggled on the ground with a painful expression.

Su Yuejian sat back in his seat with a cold tone.

"I'm sorry, I just don't have much patience."

"So, I'm asking you again. If you don't want to die, answer me. What do you know about the fire at the Taifu Mansion?"

The old woman was terrified when she heard this and had to tell the truth.

"I said...I said, I know...Mrs. Su did not have a difficult delivery."

Su Yue saw her hand tighten slightly.

"Did your sister tell you?"

The old woman said in despair, "No."
