Rescuing the Villainous Boss with a Little Dirty Master

Chapter 20 Saving the Villainous Proton 20

Before long, Qin Zhao returned carrying a food box. He opened the lid and brought out three bowls of fragrant cheese, placing them one by one in front of Jiang Lihai and his wife and Jiang Heng. The faint aroma of milk mixed with the sweet fragrance of osmanthus honey made people's mouths water.

"Brother, would you like to try some?" Jiang Heng pretended to share some of the cheese in her bowl with Jiang Mo, but Jiang Mo quickly stopped her.

Realizing she had overreacted, Jiang Mo quickly tried to smooth things over, "You know I've never liked sweets, so I won't fight you for it. You try it and see if it still tastes the same."

Jiang Heng looked at him with a half-smile. So impatient, huh? Fine, I'll grant your wish.

Jiang Heng picked up a spoon and stirred the osmanthus honey until it was well mixed. Under Jiang Mo's eager gaze, she scooped up a spoonful and slowly put it into her mouth. Jiang Shi suppressed her anxiety and slowly drank a cup of tea.

"The food my brother bought is really delicious."

Jiang Mo watched as he ate most of the bowl of cheese, his smile widening. Just as he was about to say something, his pupils dilated suddenly, his smile freezing on his face, looking both comical and eerie. He stared in disbelief as Jiang Heng vomited black blood, staining the milky white cheese on the table red. The strong smell of blood sent chills down his spine.

"Xiao Bao!"

"Sir!"

Jiang Shi swiftly stood up and helped Jiang Heng, who almost fell off his seat, wiping the blood gushing from his mouth with a handkerchief. "Go find Elder Liu quickly!"

As soon as Madam Jiang spoke, Lu Qian had already run towards Old Master Liu's residence. The hall was in chaos, and the maids and servants serving nearby stood by helplessly. Some of the more perceptive people glanced at the cheese on the table and then quickly lowered their heads to wait for their master's instructions.

Even though they knew Jiang Heng would be alright, Jiang Lihai and his wife were still sweating profusely. Thank goodness, it wasn't true. Jiang felt a surge of relief, but her hands, which were wiping the blood off Jiang Heng, still trembled uncontrollably.

"Seal off the Marquis's residence immediately! No one is allowed to leave!"

Jiang Mo was awakened by Jiang Lihai's loud shout. He looked panicked at the cheese on the table, then at Jiang Heng. Anyone could see that Jiang Heng had been poisoned. Qin Zhao was already trembling with fear, cowering to the side. What was going on? Didn't the young master know that Jiang Mo would poison him? How could he have fallen for the trap?

This time, Old Master Liu was carried here on Lu Qian's back. His old bones were aching from the jostling, and after being put down, he didn't even have time to stretch before being shocked by Jiang Heng's condition. What happened? Didn't the Marquis say the Heir Apparent was faking poisoning? Could this really be faked?

He strode forward, checked Jiang Heng's pulse, and then pried open her mouth to look at her tongue. He was so frightened that he quickly told Jiang to lay her down. She was really poisoned!

Jiang Lihai and his wife also realized that something was wrong. Jiang Lihai took off his outer robe and spread it on the ground. He picked up Jiang Heng and laid him flat on the robe. Old Liu tore open his clothes and quickly inserted needles to suppress the spread of the poison.

"This poison... I can't cure it. I can only suppress it temporarily. If I still can't find a solution in two days..." Old Liu didn't say the rest, but everyone in the hall knew what he meant.

With a clatter, Jiang lost her balance and knocked over a chair. She looked at Old Master Liu in disbelief, her heart pounding. "Impossible, Old Master Liu, please, please take another look?"

Old Liu shook his head at her, his face grave, with a hint of confusion in it, wondering what had happened.

Jiang staggered to Jiang Heng's side, her legs gave way and she knelt on the ground. She wanted to pinch Jiang Heng's ear and scold him for "lying to his mother again," but she didn't dare. She was afraid that Jiang Heng would not give her any response.

Watching this scene from within the consciousness space, 886 couldn't help but worry for its host. This was no longer something that could be easily forgiven with a simple ear twist.

Taking advantage of the fact that Jiang's robe was covering his hands, Jiang Heng secretly tugged at her sleeve. Little Jiang was also afraid of her mother twisting her ears! QnQ

Jiang felt her sleeve being tugged, and the tears that were about to spill out immediately disappeared. This wretched child is unacceptable! Give him a good beating and throw him out! Why is he so annoying!

But the act had to go on. She secretly pinched herself, trying to compose herself. When her eyes welled up with tears, she turned to Jiang Lihai. "My lord! You must find out the truth!"

Jiang Lihai was still in a daze, as if he couldn't bear the sudden blow. Seeing that he didn't respond, Jiang Shi had no choice but to take matters into her own hands. She had someone take Jiang Heng to the next room to rest, leaving the rest to her mother.

Mo Wu was still dressed as a servant today, for no other reason than to make it easier to watch the show up close. Once inside the cubicle, Mo Wu quickly fed the antidote to the man. After Jiang Heng recovered, seeing that there was still blood on his lips and chin, and his clothes were also stained, he bowed to him admiringly, saying, "You're still the best."

This man poisoned himself twice in a short period of time. Although he quickly took the antidote each time, it was impossible for him to be completely unharmed; you could tell from his current complexion. Mo Wu was now genuinely starting to admire Jiang Heng.

Jiang Heng chuckled and accepted the compliment. At that moment, the two of them huddled together by the window, watching the play intently through the carved holes.

“Old Liu, Xiao Heng became like this after eating this cheese.”

Jiang pulled Old Man Liu to the table, and he quickly took out a silver needle to examine it. In the blink of an eye, the needle turned black, demonstrating its potent toxicity. Jiang Mo stared at the blackened needle, his chest pounding more violently, sensing something uncontrollable was about to happen. He abruptly turned to look at Qin Zhao, his gaze sinister.

"Guards! Seize Qin Zhao!" Qin Zhao's shoulders trembled, and he subconsciously wanted to resist, but seeing Lu Qian's look, he immediately sobered up and obediently knelt on the ground.

"What does the eldest young master mean by this?"

886, who was watching the show, burst out laughing. Why does Qin Zhao always say the same thing every time he gets arrested?

"Did you poison the cheese? This cheese has never been opened since I bought it. Besides me, only you have touched it."

While Jiang Mo was shifting blame, Jiang Shi moved closer to Jiang Lihai, thinking, "Useless fellow." She secretly pinched Jiang Lihai's arm, and as he winced and looked over, she glanced towards the cubicle. Jiang Lihai's tense back suddenly relaxed, and he stumbled, falling heavily into a chair. "Damn it, that scared the hell out of me! I thought my son was going to die!" After he caught his breath, he and Jiang Shi watched Jiang Mo's performance.

At that moment, Jiang Mo was so eager to extricate herself from the situation that she was unaware of the suffocating silence behind her.

Qin Zhao scoffed at his words, "Young Master, you yourself said that only you and I touched this cheese, so how did it become that I poisoned it?"

"You bastard! Would I poison my own brother?!"

"You can't do it?" Qin Zhao crawled a few steps toward Jiang Lihai, kowtowed deeply, and spoke rapidly, "My lord, my lady! I want to expose the eldest son! It was the eldest son who poisoned the heir! Because he was jealous of the heir and resented that you, my lord, didn't give him power! He wanted to poison the heir so he could take his place!"

As Qin Zhao finished speaking, Jiang Mo stepped forward and kicked him hard. "You're lying!" He looked at Jiang Lihai. "Father! I didn't! You have to believe me!"

Seeing that Jiang Lihai did not respond, he quickly looked at Madam Jiang and raised his voice, "Mother!"

"Xiao Mo, you suspect that Qin Zhao poisoned you, what's your reason?" At this moment, Jiang Lihai was imposing, and he transformed back into the ever-victorious general who struck fear into the hearts of the enemy on the battlefield.

Jiang Mo was momentarily weak, and his back was soaked with cold sweat, causing him to tremble uncontrollably.

“I discovered that Qin Zhao has been using the Marquis’s name to amass wealth over the past few years, and even bullying women and children. He drove the youngest daughter of a farmer’s family in Wangjiazhuang on the outskirts of the city to her death.” Jiang Mo’s thoughts became clearer as he spoke. “I ordered him to report to the authorities and confess, which will save him some face. He poisoned Xiao Heng because he’s definitely trying to get revenge on me!”

"Young Master, do you even believe what you're saying?" Qin Zhao got up from the ground, looking like a dead pig unafraid of boiling water. "I have no distant grudge or recent enmity with the Crown Prince. If I wanted to take revenge on you, why wouldn't I just poison you?"

"You!" Jiang Mo was speechless. The incident had happened so suddenly that his mind was in a complete mess, and he couldn't think of a better explanation. He could only place his hopes on Jiang Lihai and his wife. It was only then that he finally realized the look in their eyes—not trust, nor doubt, but naked disappointment and hatred.
