Every time there’s someone like this, Wan Gu always uses them to test medicine. Isn’t this a normal thing? What’s there to be so surprised about?
“We know that, but the problem is the kind of poison he produces is just sick. I don’t think Wu Xinlin can handle it,” Yin Fan said, frowning.
“If this person dies, won’t it cause trouble for Brother Yu?” This was what Yin Fan was concerned about. As for whether Wu Xinlin lived or died, he simply didn’t care.
Su Yu shook his head. “Wu Xinlin won’t die.”
Without fully understanding the situation, how could he let Wu Xinlin die?
“Do you know Qian Mingsen?” Wang Jinhe, thinking that Yin Fan and the others had excellent intelligence, asked curiously.
“Do you want to know about their family? I’ll have someone send a message,” Yin Fan replied.
“Alright.”
In the afternoon, Yin Fan received the message, and his expression was somewhat strange. It was even a bit hard to put into words.
Seeing his expression, Wang Jinhe asked in a strange tone, “What’s with that look? You seem constipated or something.”
Yin Fan twitched at the corner of his mouth as he looked at Wang Jinhe. Their sister-in-law really didn’t mince her words.
“Sister-in-law, I’m just wondering how Wu Xinlin managed to survive in the Qian family.”
“Really? What happened?” Wang Jinhe suddenly became interested, indicating that the Qian family’s affairs were quite intriguing.
“You’ll see once you read it.”
After reading the message, Wang Jinhe’s expression became similarly strange like Yin Fan’s, but with added emotion.
“It turns out that Su Yu and I guessed right.”
“Sister-in-law, what did you guess?” Yin Fan asked with great interest.
“Wu Xinlin, upon returning to the Qian family, was manipulated.”
When Wu Xinlin first returned to the Qian family, he did indeed study diligently under the guidance of Qian Mingsen’s tutor for a period of time, aiming to pass the imperial examination and even become an official.
When Wu Xinlin was earnestly studying, Mrs. Qian appeared. She treated Wu Xinlin very well, even better as if he was her own children. At first, Wu Xinlin was very resistant, believing that this woman had ulterior motives for getting close to him.
However, Mrs. Qian was not a good person, and she was very patient. Day after day, she treated Wu Xinlin well, helping him with whatever he needed, regardless of his actions.
At first, Wu Xinlin didn’t pay attention, but gradually he was also deceived by Mrs. Qian’s facade and eventually embarked on the path of debauchery. Surprisingly, Qian Mingsen hadn’t noticed.
It was Mrs. Qian who instigated Wu Xinlin’s return. She wasn’t doing it for Wu Xinlin’s benefit; she just knew about Su Yu’s identity and wanted to provoke him. If Su Yu were to get angry and kill Wu Xinlin, it wouldn’t be her concern. This was using a knife to kill.
And she and Su Yu were the knives borrowed by Mrs. Qian. If she really succeeded, she wouldn’t just wash her hands of it, but would also make them both detested by others.
Although they had never cared about such matters, not caring didn’t mean they would allow these things to develop unchecked.
“Su Yu, it seems we’ve become the knives in someone else’s hands. Do you have any thoughts on this?” Wang Jinhe turned to Su Yu and asked.
Su Yu sneered, “I’ve always been used as a knife by others, but no one has dared to manipulate me like this. Mrs. Qian has quite the nerve.”
Wang Jinhe knew Su Yu would say something like that.
“Should we find something to do about this Mrs. Qian now, or what?” These women in the inner courtyard were just too idle, daring to come and cause trouble for them.
Su Yu had a point. This person dared to use them and should pay the price for it.
Su Yu looked at Wang Jinhe with a cold expression and said, “What do you think?”
“If she’s so idle, we can find her a few opponents. And we can also let Qian Mingsen know why Wu Xinlin was in your hands. Qian Mingsen is a smart person and should figure out what’s going on,” Wang Jinhe replied.
“Agreed.” His thoughts were aligned with Wang Jinhe’s.
If he were to take action, he could easily kill the person. However, what would be the point? Killing the person would only provide relief. It was more painful to cut with a dull knife.
Su Yu wrote a letter to Wan Feng and instructed them to handle the matter, as well as to hurry with the affairs concerning Gu Xiruo. After Gu Xiruo, it would be Lu Lingfeng’s turn.
“When we return, Zixun should be able to confront Lu Lingfeng. I wonder how he and Qiuchan are doing,” Wang Jinhe said with a furrowed brow, expressing some concern.
Upon hearing Wang Jinhe’s concern for those two, Su Yu felt a bit displeased. “You only need to worry about me. There’s no need to worry about others.”
Wang Jinhe looked at Su Yu with a wry smile, shaking her head in resignation as she gently pinched Su Yu’s face. “You’re acting like a prince. Do you really need to be so jealous? Aren’t you afraid of being laughed at?”
“Who dares to laugh at me? Besides, does being jealous have anything to do with being a prince? Who made that rule?” Su Yu retorted.
Unable to argue with Su Yu, Wang Jinhe fell silent.
Seeing Wang Jinhe’s reaction, Su Yu felt satisfied. “Yin Fan, start investigating Lu Lingfeng’s situation. I’m starting to look forward to it.”
“What do you think, Xiaohu?” Su Yu asked.
Wang Jinhe gave Su Yu a disdainful look and remained silent, just staring at him.
“Why are you looking at me like that? I’ll feel embarrassed,” Su Yu said.
“Even with such thick skin, you still feel embarrassed?” Wang Jinhe retorted.
Yin Fan, feeling thunderstruck, made a very childish move. He reached out to touch Su Yu’s forehead and muttered, “You’re not running a fever.”
Su Yu twitched at Yin Fan’s action, removed his hand from his forehead, and gave Yin Fan a warning look, which immediately made Yin Fan behave.
Wang Jinhe was amused by Yin Fan and couldn’t stop laughing. Yin Fan was quite entertaining, making such unexpected moves.
While Wang Jinhe was waiting for news, two unexpected guests arrived at the house. One was Su Jiu, and the other was Wang Jinhe’s friend from the capital, Ming Wanning.
The arrival of the two surprised both Su Yu and Wang Jinhe.
“Why did you come, big brother? And you come with Wanning?” They wondered when the two of them had become acquainted.
Su Jiu didn’t answer Wang Jinhe’s question but instead turned to Su Yu and said, “Xiao Yu, have Wan Gu come over.”
“Okay.” Su Yu instructed Yuan Bao to fetch Wan Gu.
Wan Gu had been in high spirits while spending time with Wu Xinlin, sometimes even forgetting to eat.
Wan Gu quickly arrived and asked, “Young Master, what can I do for you?”
“It’s not me who’s looking for you, it’s big brother,” Su Yu replied.
“Young Master? Why are you here?”
