After vomiting and having diarrhea for several rounds, he finally lay down on the floor.

Seeing that Chen Jingfeng was so weak that he couldn't get up, the old butler was so anxious that he almost cried.

In the end, it was Shuangjiang who induced Chen Jingfeng to vomit.

Qin Niangzi, who was watching the commotion from the sidelines, said, "It's really lucky that her brother Jingfeng is still alive."

I was bitten by a wolf before, and the wound hasn't even healed yet, and now I've been fed a bellyful of poisonous mushrooms. It's really unbelievable.

They've already told us mushrooms are poisonous, but they still insist on making us eat them.

Lin Shuyun said, "This is a 'changgui' (伥鬼). No matter when, you must stay away from this type of person."

It's like having an IQ problem; they insist on going against people and constantly cause trouble, while they themselves are perfectly fine, only harming those around them.

What else could such a person be but a ghost?

If Chen Jingfeng hadn't eaten her food, he probably wouldn't be alive now.

"Then let's chase them away," Qin Niangzi said, rubbing her hands together and lowering her voice.

She really disliked Chen Ting, who called Xiao Qing "brother" in a coquettish voice, and just looking at her made her want to slap her across the face.

Lin Shuyun said, "Chen Jingfeng is my husband's future classmate. We should be peaceful and friendly. Aunt, how could you be so irritable as to drive him away?"

If we leave, there won't be any fun to see along the way.

Besides, Brother Xiaoqing accepted these people, so why would she drive them away? If she did, Brother Xiaoqing would be sad.

Qin Niangzi: ...

I don't believe you for a second.

Seeing that Chen Jingfeng was back to normal, Shuangjiang breathed a sigh of relief and washed her hands before coming over.

"She vomited twice, so she should be fine now. But she's been through a lot, so she absolutely mustn't get sick. If she gets sick again, she probably won't be able to get up."

After vomiting so many times, the others lost their appetite and only ate a little for dinner before resting.

Beside the fire, Chen Jingfeng lay on a wooden plank.

Chen Ting kept crying until her eyes were swollen. "Brother Jingfeng, I'm sorry, it's my fault."

Unable to hold back any longer, Qin Niangzi made another sarcastic remark, "You know you've harmed him, so why did you insist on making him eat the mushrooms when you knew they were poisonous?"

Chen Ting explained in a hoarse voice, "I didn't know it was this serious. I just thought it tasted pretty good, and I was just foaming at the mouth. How could it be so serious?"

She tasted the mushrooms herself and wasn't poisoned! How come Brother Jingfeng got poisoned?

Qin Niangzi rolled her eyes so hard they almost reached the sky. "Is eating one the same as eating a whole bunch? Why don't you eat any? You're only giving some to your brother Jingfeng. He's truly blessed to have you."

What an incredible blessing!

Exhausted from the ordeal, Chen Jingfeng closed his eyes and didn't say a word.

The firewood crackled and popped as it burned in the fire.

……

……

As dawn broke, we continued our journey.

Fortunately, she seemed to have learned her lesson this time, and Chen Ting didn't cause any more trouble along the way, remaining quiet and well-behaved.

When they passed through a town, the old steward got some medicine for Chen Jingfeng, and the poison was neutralized.

However, Chen Jingfeng had lost a lot of weight from all the stress and his complexion was a little pale, making him look less healthy than before.

We're almost at Shengjing. We've been traveling along the way, stopping frequently, and the scenery has been quite beautiful.

Looking at the bustling city of Licheng ahead, Old Xu spoke with great joy.

"Our journey has been quite peaceful. Who said there were bandits? The current emperor is a wise ruler. While it's not accurate to say that doors are left unlocked at night, the country is still peaceful."

After passing Licheng, you'll reach Shengjing.

We're almost at the emperor's doorstep now, so there's probably no chance of anything going wrong.

As soon as they finished speaking, more than a dozen people appeared and surrounded them.

"Old Xu, you jinx!"

Qin Niangzi saw that these people had come with ill intentions and began to curse.

I don't know who they're after, but as long as it's not her, that's fine.

Old Xu shrank his neck, realizing he had indeed spoken a little too soon.

"Young master and young lady, we've been looking for you everywhere! Where have you been all this time?!"

A middle-aged man with a beard and a somewhat cunning look came to the front of the carriage.

Everyone was taken aback. Which young master or young lady were they looking for?

Gu Chen stepped out of the carriage, his face dark with anger. "Steward Jiang, what do you want with us?"

"What are you saying, Young Master Chen? You are a young master of the Jiang family, so naturally the head of the family sent me to find you." The middle-aged man, who was also Jiang's butler, looked at Gu Chen with a smile.

As the patriarch had guessed, they were back.

These three children are incredibly lucky to have survived.

"Now that Young Master Shen is back, he should take his younger sister and brother home so that his family won't worry. The head of the family is already waiting, and Young Master should know what to do."

Butler Jiang spoke with little respect, as if giving orders.

And with so many people around, it seemed like he was about to take action if Gu Chen said he didn't want to.

"That's not my home at all, you..."

Gu Chen clenched his fists in anger.

Lin Shuyun interrupted Gu Chen and said, "Is that so? Since you've come to invite the young master home, he must be tired from his journey. Why don't you rest in the city for a while before setting off? Why don't you hurry up and lead the way!"

Butler Jiang frowned as he looked at Lin Shuyun, "May I ask who this is...?"

He looked extraordinary, and since his identity was uncertain, he didn't want to offend him easily.

When Gu Bao saw Butler Jiang again, she hid behind Jiang Changtian, but now she couldn't help but speak up.

“This is my sister-in-law, and my older brother is back too. You thought my brother was dead, but he's still alive. We found him, and your plans have failed.”

They now have an older brother protecting them.

"Young Master?"

Upon hearing this, Butler Jiang was surprised and carefully examined Jiang Changtian.

He knew that the child had been lost since birth, and while he couldn't believe it, he also felt that the child's features did resemble his.

"Young Master Bao, you're not lying to me, are you? The eldest young master has been missing for who knows how many years. How could you three children have found him?" Butler Jiang looked at Jiang Changtian suspiciously.

I don't really believe it, but I can't help but wonder, what if it's true...?

Upon seeing this wicked butler, Gu Bao couldn't suppress his temper and retorted defiantly, "I'm not lying to you, this is my eldest brother, whom my uncle found personally!"

Madam Qin blew on her fingernails. "A mere servant dares to question his master? Drag him away and slap him!"

Butler Jiang's face darkened upon hearing this. "Who do you think you are, daring to interfere in the Jiang family's affairs?"

Qin Niangzi drawled, "Oh, who does the Jiang family think they are? I've never even heard of them. I'm terrified!"

"Stop babbling and stop blocking our way into town for a meal."

I've been hungry for a while.

Butler Jiang had never seen such a vulgar and rude woman. He pointed at Madam Qin and was subsequently given a thorough dressing-down.

At the same time, the Jiang family.

"Jiang Wang just wrote to say that he has found those brats and they have arrived in Licheng."
