However, the person who got into trouble was Lin Jingxuan.
The school was closed for a day. Lin Jingxuan remembered what Lin Qingwei had said, so as soon as he got back to the manor, he went to Qinghui Hall and brought Lin Qingwei his favorite candied hawthorn.
Lin Qingwei didn't dislike her rather cute younger brother; in fact, she quite welcomed his visits.
Lin Jingxuan, holding the whip, exclaimed with adoration, "Wow! Wow! Wow!!!"
This is the whip that challenged the father's authority! It certainly exudes a formidable power!
"Sister! Teach me martial arts!"
"Me?" Lin Qingwei waved her hands repeatedly, "You think too highly of me, I don't know martial arts."
She was only able to succeed because she trained with Chunqi regularly and had quick reflexes. In addition, everyone in the Lin family was weak and frail, and she was able to do so by taking them by surprise that day.
To say that he knows martial arts is really an exaggeration.
Lin Jingxuan looked very regretful, and sighed with a pout: "If only Father would allow me to learn martial arts."
“My mother told me that your grades have always been among the best, and I thought you really enjoyed reading and writing.”
Lin Jingxuan shook his head and then nodded: "I like it, but I don't want to be someone who can't lift a finger. I want to be a man who can fight evil and promote good!"
As if remembering something, Lin Jingxuan stood up straight with a slightly flushed face, bowed to Lin Qingwei and apologized, saying, "I was wrong before, and I targeted you without understanding anything. What's done is done, and there's no point in arguing. I don't ask you to forgive me, I just want a chance to make amends."
He was so normal that he didn't seem like Lin Zhengwen and Ye's child at all. Lin Qingwei thought to herself, "Luckily, Lin Jingxuan spends more time at the academy studying with the teachers than at home listening to these people spout nonsense."
He reached out and patted Lin Jingxuan's head: "You're a good kid, I don't blame you."
“Boys shouldn’t just study. Learning some martial arts to strengthen their bodies is also a good thing. But I really don’t know martial arts. If you really want to learn, I’ll talk to Father and ask him to find you a good master.”
Lin Jingxuan's eyes lit up immediately, and he excitedly hugged Lin Qingwei's arm and jumped up and down: "You're so great! You're the best sister in the world!"
He had mentioned his wish to Madam Ye and Lin Xiuyao before, but his mother only told him to study hard and pass the imperial examinations. His second sister was too lazy to listen and chased him away after saying only a few words.
The older sister is so kind to him! He will repay her kindness in the future!
After playing for a while, Lin Jingxuan complained that he was hungry. Lin Qingwei ordered someone to prepare some pastries and bring them up. Pei Lan had just finished preparing the pastries when Pei Zhi snatched them away.
Pei-Chih nervously smoothed her hair and carefully handed the pastries to Lin Jing-Xuan: "Young Master, these are your favorite ox-tongue pastries."
Lin Jingxuan nodded, not looking at Pei Zhi, and continued to talk happily with Lin Qingwei.
When he returned to the courtyard that evening to review his lessons, his stomach began to ache terribly, his face turned deathly pale, and he collapsed to the ground, foaming at the mouth and convulsing. This terrified his page, Lin Ji.
He immediately ran to tell Madam Ye and sent someone to fetch a doctor. Madam Ye happened to be with Lin Zhengwen. The two of them were terrified when they heard the news and rushed to Lingfeng Courtyard.
Upon seeing the unconscious Lin Jingxuan, Madam Ye was so frightened that she nearly lost her life. She could barely stand and rushed to Lin Jingxuan's bedside, calling out to him.
The doctor arrived quickly and immediately began taking pulses. By this time, the others who had received the news also arrived.
Lin Jingxuan, the only male in the household and the one on whom high hopes were placed since childhood, had gotten into trouble. Who wouldn't be nervous? Lin Shuhui didn't dare to look and shrank behind Aunt Liu. Lin Xiuyao paced back and forth anxiously.
Although Lin Jingxuan was always annoying and had even helped Lin Qingwei deal with him once, he was still his younger brother whom he had grown up with!
"Doctor, how is he? Is my little cousin alright? He looks like he's been poisoned." Ye Qinxuan clutched her handkerchief, her brows furrowed, looking very worried.
The doctor nodded and said, "Miss Ye's guesses are quite accurate; she has indeed been poisoned."
Ye almost screamed, "How could I have been poisoned?"
Lin Zhengwen was also filled with worry: "What kind of poison? He's only been back from the academy for less than two hours, how could he be poisoned?"
Lin Qingwei stood at the back, not saying a word. It wasn't that she didn't care about Lin Jingxuan, but she had a very bad feeling. Peizhi, who had come with her, had suddenly disappeared...
Before the doctor could answer, Ye Qinxuan asked again, "Could it be that we ate something wrong?"
She has been guiding us.
"That's right, the young master was poisoned because he accidentally ingested oleander flower powder, but fortunately he didn't eat too much, so the poisoning can still be controlled."
The doctor was the same one who had treated Lian'er last time. He couldn't help but say again, "Didn't I just emphasize the toxicity of oleander a few days ago? How come something still happened?"
Madam Ye shook her head repeatedly and said, "Xuan'er's Lingfeng Courtyard is far from the south wall, so he will never pass by there. Besides, he has no interest in flowers and plants at all, let alone the possibility of accidentally eating them."
Ye Qinxuan suddenly widened her eyes and covered her mouth in horror: "It wasn't an accidental ingestion, could someone be deliberately trying to poison my cousin Jingxuan?"
Upon hearing Ye Qinxuan's words, Lin Xiuyao immediately turned her gaze to Lin Qingwei: "It's you! Isn't it!"
Ye grabbed Lin Xiuyao, already terrified by Lin Jingxuan's poisoning, and had no desire to resolve the conflict between her two daughters. So she said, "Shut up! She's Jingxuan's older sister!"
Lin Xiuyao sneered and shook off Ye Shi's hand: "Mother is really biased towards my eldest sister now! It's as if she's the only child you have!"
She walked up to Lin Zhengwen, tears welling in her eyes, and said, "Father! It must be Lin Qingwei! It must be her this time! There were only four of us there, and we clearly heard the poison of the oleander."
I haven't left the courtyard today, and my cousin Ye hasn't seen my brother Jingxuan either. My third sister certainly doesn't have the guts! Only Lin Qingwei!
I just heard Lin Ji say that my younger brother started vomiting and having diarrhea after leaving Qinghui Hall!
Lin Zhengwen's expression changed drastically, and he said sternly, "Qingwei! Come here!"
Lin Qingwei walked up from behind, her back straight, showing no sign of panic.
"Your father is asking you, did you poison your brother?"
Madam Ye asked in a trembling voice, "What did Xuan'er do to offend you?"
Ye Qinxuan looked at Lin Qingwei with a reproachful gaze: "My cousin is really something, why is she arguing with a child? She even did something like this, it's really too vicious."
After Ye Qinxuan said that, it seemed that the truth had come out, and everyone thought that Lin Qingwei was the one who did it.
Standing in full view of everyone, she glanced at Ye Qinxuan and sneered, "If I didn't do this, cousin, you'll have to pay the price for what you said."
