Previously, she thought Lu Wanwan was a blessed person, but now it seems that she is not only blessed, but also lucky. If she had met Lu Wanwan before finding the igneous rock, then it would have been difficult for her to treat Lu Wanwan's disease.
As long as Lu Wanwan's illness is cured, Lu Zhenwei will owe her a huge favor. In addition, although Lu Zhenwei showed that she didn't believe what I said to her today, she would still check it out. In this way, the heart of this national defense general should be chilled. Even if she won't help me, she will return the favor. In this way, things will become much easier.
On the other side, Lu Wanwan took supplements according to Ling'er's instructions. At noon, she sent Xiao Jiang to invite Ling'er to have lunch.
As soon as Ling'er arrived, Lu Wanwan immediately stood up and wanted to greet her, but Ling'er stretched out her hand to stop her.
"Let's skip these empty formalities. I'm hungry too. Let's eat quickly." Ling'er said this because, firstly, she really didn't like the ancient people's social way of performing formalities all the time, and secondly, it was also to eliminate Lu Wanwan's sense of urgency.
After Ling'er sat down, she immediately took out a red brocade box. Xiao Jiang gestured and took it and handed it to her young master.
"After you have taken the tonic, just take this pill. As for the future, according to my instructions, I believe that you will become an elegant young general in the near future." After saying that, he picked up the chopsticks and started eating.
"I'm starving, so I'm welcome."
"Yes, yes, you are welcome, sir. Please feel free to use it. It is Wanwan's fault for not treating you well and neglecting you. It is Wanwan's fault..." The hand holding the brocade box trembled slightly, and her tone was very excited. She really couldn't calm down the joy in her heart.
Lu Wanwan's reaction was within Ling'er's expectations, except that Xiao Jiang showed sadness on his face when he looked at her young master.
She opened the brocade box, took out the black pill, and slowly put it in her mouth. Although the process only took a few seconds, it seemed like centuries to Lu Wanwan. She closed her eyes while swallowing the pill. The past scenes kept appearing in her mind like movie clips. Those memories were all bitter. Tears unconsciously slid down from her eyes. She didn't know whether it was for the joy of today or the sadness of the past.
But the next moment, Lu Wanwan suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Young Master!" Xiao Jiang immediately stepped forward and supported her, his eyes full of panic and disbelief. "Young Master, why are you vomiting blood? It's impossible. I clearly changed the tonic medicine, how could this happen?"
From beginning to end, Ling'er ate calmly without raising her head.
Xiao Jiang was anxious. He looked at Ling'er, "Is it you? Did you replace my tonic? Or did you tamper with my tonic?" He was the only one who had touched this medicine, but how could she harm the young master
"It must be you, right? Who are you to want to poison the young master?" Xiao Jiang supported Lu Wanwan, staring at Ling'er with a pair of eyes, as if he wanted to eat him.
The servant guarding outside the house heard the noise inside and immediately ran to report to Lu Zhenwei.
"Say something!" Seeing Ling'er still calm, Xiao Jiang became more certain of his guess that this man must have tampered with the medicine given to the young master, so he shouted at Ling'er.
He finished the dish he had just picked up, then slowly put down his chopsticks, picked up the teacup and took a sip, then looked up at Xiao Jiang.
"You asked me what I did to your medicine? I'm confused. How could this become your medicine?"
"I... you don't need to know this, just tell me what you did to my medicine, how did the young master become like this?" If she wasn't too worried about the young master, she wouldn't have told him about the change of medicine. But now, she couldn't care less, the safety of the young master was the most important.
As she spoke, Lu Wanwan spat out another mouthful of blood.
"Young Master! Young Master! Are you okay? What's wrong with you?"
Lu Wanwan just shook her head but couldn't say anything.
"Young Master! Young Master!" Xiao Jiang almost cried when she saw Lu Wanwan's appearance. But she was not a doctor and could do nothing. Now she could only rely on the man sitting in front of her.
He helped Lu Wanwan lean against the back of the chair, then quickly walked forward to Ling'er's side, stretched out his hand, and attacked Ling'er's neck. In a flash, Ling'er's neck tilted back, and with his backhand, he quickly tapped Xiao Jiang a few times, and she froze immediately.
"Who are you? What do you want to do in our general's mansion?" Although Xiao Jiang couldn't move his body, he could still speak. "Our young master treats you with great courtesy, you can't harm her!"
Ling'er smiled and shook her head, then stood up and walked slowly around the immobilized Xiao Jiang, then said, "I don't understand, I really don't understand. Since you care so much about your young master, why do you secretly change his medicine? Don't you know how much your young master is looking forward to this pill?"
"Hmph, that's because I know you don't really want to save my young master, so I..." Xiao Jiang could only justify himself in this way now, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Ling'er.
"Oh, I'm not a fool, you can't deceive me. You are just a little maid, how do you know my identity? Even the general's young master has never doubted me. If you really want to save your young master, I advise you to tell the truth. Who are you? Why did you stop me from making medicine for your young master? What is your purpose in the general's mansion?"
Although Ling'er didn't know Xiao Jiang's background, there was one thing she was sure of, that was that she cared about Lu Wanwan from the bottom of her heart.
"I don't mind if you don't want to say it, but your young master..."
When Lu Wanwan was mentioned, Xiao Jiang immediately became anxious. "I told you, will you really save my young master?"
"Do you think you have any other choice now besides trusting me? With my skills, I can kill both you and your servant in an instant."
"Okay, I'll tell you. Actually, I am the maid chosen by the general for the young master. Because I was born with supernatural powers, I was allowed to serve the young lady personally."
In fact, Ling'er knew this as early as when she met Lu Wanwan. In a country where women are superior, women are the gods, so close servants are generally men, but Lu Wanwan brought a female servant with her. The reason is self-evident. Men in a country where women are superior are weak and naturally cannot serve a master like Lu Wanwan.
"I have served the young master for so many years, and I have seen the young master's pain. How could I not know how much the young master longed for someone to cure her strange disease. But I couldn't let her die. Just a year ago, I went out to work for the young master, but was kidnapped inexplicably and went to meet a mysterious person. She threatened me with my brother and asked me to monitor the young master's actions for him. She also told me that the poison in the young master's body had no solution in the world. If the drugs were used indiscriminately, it would easily cause side effects and even lose one's life. I didn't believe it at first, but with the treatment of various famous doctors, the young master's health not only did not improve, but instead developed strange diseases. Therefore, I couldn't help but believe it. Later, I had no choice but to secretly replace the young master's medicine. For the sake of my brother's life, I often helped the tyrant to do evil, helping the young master do those evil things and deliberately damaging the reputation of the general's mansion. I think that as long as the young master and my brother are both alive, it will be good."
"So that's it." A familiar voice came, Xiao Jiang's eyes widened, and he looked at the source of the voice in disbelief.
That's right, it wasn't Ling'er who spoke this time, but Lu Wanwan who had just leaned on the chair and couldn't speak. In fact, she was able to speak as early as when Ling'er asked Xiao Jiang questions. However, she also wanted to know the reason. If it weren't for the excessive reaction of the blood-clearing medicine after taking it, she wouldn't have known that Xiao Jiang actually tried to replace her medicine.
Xiao Jiang had served her for several years, and they were like sisters. She had never thought that Xiao Jiang would harm her. After hearing the reason, she realized that Xiao Jiang was not easy either, with herself on one side and his brother on the other, so she did not blame her.
"Young Master..." At this moment, she really didn't dare to face Lu Wanwan. Although she didn't deliberately harm him, she still betrayed her. She was a sinner.
Lu Wanwan slowly stood up, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and walked to Ling'er, "Sir, please let her go. She was so rude to you just now because she was worried about me."
He reached out and touched Xiao Jiang, freeing her from her restraints.
Then there was a "thump" and Xiao Jiang fell to his knees on the ground.
"Master, I am sorry for you. Please punish me."
"I really didn't expect that you, Xiao Jiang, were so well hidden." The voice came before the person arrived, and then Lu Zhenwei pushed the door open and walked in. She heard everything that happened in the room just now clearly. It turned out that Xiao Jiang was an informant. I just don't know which force he belongs to.
"Meet mother."
"Greetings, General."
Ling'er and Lu Wanwan bowed one after another, "Get up."
"Xiao Jiang, do you admit your crime?" He stood in front of Xiao Jiang and asked seriously.
"I know my crime, please punish me, General."
Before Lu Zhenwei could even open his mouth, Lu Wanwan hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Lu Zhenwei's arm.
"Mother, please forgive Xiao Jiang this time. She was forced into a corner. Besides, she has never harmed my daughter. Please let her go this time."
"I haven't harmed you? If I haven't harmed you, how can your reputation be so bad?!"
"Young Master, you don't have to plead for me. I deserve death and am willing to be punished. Please punish me, General. This is what I deserve."
"Okay, as long as you are willing. Come on, take this ignorant slave out and beat him to death!"
"No, mother!"
