The mistress has no feelings, why do you provoke her?

When Song Wenjun saw Gu Huaizhou leaning forward, she neither dodged nor showed any disgust.

I just felt waves of disgust.

Gu Huaizhou felt a little smug. Song Wenjun was indeed deeply in love with him. He only needed to use a little trick to coax her and he could win her over.

However, the next second, Song Wenjun's face showed a troubled expression: "But my body has not recovered yet. I still have persistent lochia and it hasn't stopped. I'm drinking tonics every day. Could it be that there's something wrong with the medicine?"

It was as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over Gu Huaizhou, waking him up completely; his heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that Song Wenjun has discovered something?

But then I thought, probably not. She's so stupid, how could she notice these details?

"Your lochia hasn't stopped yet. It's probably because childbirth drained your energy. Why would you think of medicine?" Gu Huaizhou coaxed.

Song Wenjun nodded thoughtfully: "That's true. My brain is getting worse and worse. My husband bought the medicine for me himself, how could anything be wrong?"

After saying that, she suddenly changed the subject and asked seriously, "Husband, you didn't put something in my medicine, did you?"

"Wh-what?" Gu Huaizhou was taken aback at first, then flew into a rage: "How could you think of me like that? You know how I've treated you. Saying that is like stabbing me in the chest!"

He looked as if he had truly suffered a great injustice.

Just then, Xiao Tao came in carrying the medicine.

On a sudden inspiration, Gu Huaizhou strode forward, snatched the medicine, and then drank it down in one gulp.

"Husband, what are you doing?" Song Wenjun pretended to snatch it, but failed.

Gu Huaizhou showed her the empty medicine bowl and said with grief and indignation, "Are you satisfied now?"

He originally intended to sacrifice his charms so that Song Wenjun could talk to Song Jinshu about his plan to buy an official position.

As a result, Song Wenjun suspected the herbal medicine.

He then resorted to a self-inflicted injury ruse.

Let's put Song Wenjun's sharp edge to a good rest.

It made her feel guilty.

As long as he doesn't come to Qiufeng Courtyard, Song Wenjun will definitely invite him back, and she won't refuse his requests then.

Song Wenjun clutched her small handkerchief, looking aggrieved, and said, "I was just joking with my husband, why are you so angry?"

"You've disappointed me so much." Gu Huaizhou said, then left without looking back.

As soon as he left, Song Wenjun returned to normal.

Acting is just too tiring.

Xiao Tao patted her chest, looking terrified: "I was so worried just now. The Marquis was shameless and tried to take advantage of the Madam. Luckily, I had a bright idea and brought the medicine over. I was going to interrupt him, but he drank it all."

Then, Xiao Tao made a disgusted face, which made Song Wenjun laugh: "Now, he won't come to my courtyard for ten days or half a month. Xiao Tao, go and secretly follow him to see what he's up to."

"Yes, this servant will go right away."

Xiao Tao followed Gu Huaizhou from a distance. After seeing him leave Qiufeng Courtyard, she found a secluded spot and started gagging herself with her fingers.

He tried to vomit for a long time, but he still couldn't.

He felt a pang of regret; he shouldn't have drunk the medicine in his excitement.

Fortunately, it's a slow-acting poison, so drinking a bowl of it should be fine, right?

The thought of these toxins accumulating in his body made Gu Huaizhou turn pale.

The medicine was given by Jiang Miaoyin; she should have a way to help.

Gu Huaizhou looked around to make sure no one was watching, then slipped into Jiang Miaoyin's courtyard. Xiao Tao chuckled at the sight and turned to tell Song Wenjun on him.

His sudden appearance in broad daylight startled Jiang Miaoyin.

He quickly peeked out and looked around to make sure no one was watching before closing the door.

As soon as the door closed, Jiang Miaoyin rushed into Gu Huaizhou's arms: "Gu Lang, I missed you so much."

Gu Huaizhou was preoccupied with the poison in his body and had no time to pay attention to her. He pushed Jiang Miaoyin away and asked anxiously, "Miaoyin, what kind of poison did you give me? Is there an antidote?"

"You, you want to detoxify her?" Jiang Miaoyin frowned.

Gu Huaizhou hurriedly waved his hand: "How could that be? I want her to die quickly, but today she suspected the medicine, and I had no choice but to drink it to prove my innocence. That's why I came to ask if you have any antidote."

Hearing him say that, Jiang Miaoyin breathed a sigh of relief: "I thought it was something else, that blood-dripping weapon is only effective against women."

Gu Huaizhou breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, he was alright.

At this point, Jiang Miaoyin paused, a glint of light flashing in her eyes: "You just said that Song Wenjun suspected there was something wrong with the medicine, and that she's having health problems now?"

“She said it was persistent lochia,” Gu Huaizhou replied.

Jiang Miaoyin's eyes gleamed with malice: "It's truly a blessing from heaven! This flying guillotine really works. In another year or two, Song Wenjun will surely die."

"Then, we can be together forever." Gu Huaizhou pulled Jiang Miaoyin into his arms, his eyes filled with deep affection.

Just as the two were deeply in love, a woman's voice suddenly came from outside: "Sister-in-law, are you there?"

It was Song Wenjun's voice.

Her appearance was like a thunderclap, startling the illicit lovers in the house.

To facilitate her secret rendezvous with Gu Huaizhou, Jiang Miaoyin used the excuse of seclusion to dismiss all the servants in the courtyard.

Aside from the people who bring her meals every day, she doesn't even have a maidservant by her side.

Song Wenjun suddenly appeared, and her voice was so close, it was clear that she had already arrived in the courtyard.

If she sees this, the two of them are finished.

Gu Huaizhou and Jiang Miaoyin both shuddered, their faces showing panic.

"Quick, hide in the closet!" Jiang Miaoyin said anxiously.

There was not much furniture in the room, only a wardrobe large enough to hide a person, so Gu Huaizhou hurriedly crawled inside.

Jiang Miaoyin covered him with some more clothes, then locked the cabinet after thinking for a moment.

Only then did I feel relieved enough to open the door.

The door opened, and Jiang Miaoyin, feigning aloofness, looked at Song Wenjun with a stern expression: "What are you doing here?"

Song Wenjun's eyes were red, and she looked guilty: "Sister-in-law, are you still angry with us for what happened that day?"

"Hmph, no need to say more." Jiang Miaoyin turned around to close the door, not wanting to get entangled with Song Wenjun.

Song Wenjun suddenly burst into tears, looking utterly remorseful: "Sister-in-law, my husband and I were wrong. We shouldn't have had those thoughts. It's all my fault. If you want to blame someone, blame me alone. If you don't forgive me, I'll kneel here forever..."

As he spoke, he actually tried to kneel down.

Jiang Miaoyin dared not let her kneel here, as Gu Huaizhou was still locked in the cabinet.

It's fine for a short time, but if it's too long, he'll freeze.

There was only one charcoal brazier in the room, which only warmed the area three feet under her feet. Any area not warmed by the brazier was as cold as ice.

"Sister-in-law, what are you doing? Get up!" Jiang Miaoyin gritted her teeth in anger, but had no choice but to pull Song Wenjun up.

Song Wenjun hadn't originally intended to kneel, but seeing that she was being helped up, she readily agreed.

Seeing that she still hadn't left, Jiang Miaoyin frowned and said, "It's good that we've talked things out. We're all family, there's no need to hold a grudge overnight. If there's nothing else, you can go back now."
