Chapter 14: Saving My Sister

Inside the room, a disheveled man was grabbing a maid, who was crying and begging for mercy:

“Let go of me! Let go of me……”

Chen Caiwei’s plan to target Shen Wenyuan, divided into two parts, was going smoothly. The maid here didn’t know about the accident that had happened in the front hall.

Jiang Rong was late in coming, and Shen Wenyuan, whose aphrodisiac had taken effect, had indeed pinned down the maid who had led him here.

When Xie Ruojiao saw this scene, she rushed forward in anger: “Who are you? How dare you bully a servant in the manor!”

She reached out and tried to pull Shen Wenyuan away.

Shen Wenyuan was pulled away from the maid by her and backhanded her, pinning her to the ground.

Completely devoid of reason, he didn’t care who the person in front of him was and instinctively lunged at Xie Ruojiao.

“Miss—” Granny Sun was flustered and rushed to rescue her.

But with the strength of an old granny, how could she possibly compare to Shen Wenyuan, who was under the influence of the drug?

She was kicked to the corner by Shen Wenyuan, falling to the ground in pain and unable to get up.

The servants near the guest rooms had already been deliberately cleared out by Chen Caiwei.

She was just waiting for Xie Ruojiao to come and catch them red-handed.

Xie Ruojiao had left in a hurry today and had only brought one granny with her. This time, she had put herself in danger.

“Help—” Xie Ruojiao struggled desperately.

But she was no match for Shen Wenyuan’s strength.

Her clothes were torn open, revealing a patch of white, fragrant shoulder…

Xie Ruojiao had never encountered a situation like this before and her mind went blank with fear.

Just at this moment…

“Boom!”

Shen Wenyuan, who was pressing down on her, was kicked to the ground.

Xie Ruojiao looked up through her teary eyes and saw a woman in a long dress standing proudly in front of her. She had a dignified and beautiful face, and her eyes were filled with sharp ferocity.

That expressionless, cold face, however, gave Xie Ruojiao a great sense of security.

She was like a drowning person who was almost swallowed by the flood, grasping onto a life-saving straw.

“Sister-in-law!” Xie Ruojiao cried out, sitting on the ground and hugging Jiang Rong’s leg, weeping loudly.

“Hot—” Shen Wenyuan was kicked by Jiang Rong and was hunched over, unable to stand up. His entire body was controlled by the drug, twisting and struggling on the ground.

Jiang Rong ignored him, took a cloak from the servant Yingxia who was with her, covered Xie Ruojiao with it, and comforted her:

“Go back and change your clothes, and touch up your makeup. Pretend you were never here today.”

She then looked at the disheveled maid in the corner and said, “Someone, seize her.”

…

Front Hall.

Xie Lingxi had arrived.

Old Madam Xie and the two concubines had also arrived.

Qiao Shi was carried back to the main branch’s small courtyard, and a doctor was called to treat her, but the drug was extremely potent and could not be relieved…

The main branch then frantically sent someone to invite Xie Yuanwen back to save her life.

This was the first time Xie Yuanwen had taken leave from the yamen due to “daytime adultery” and rushed back. Although Qiao Shi was saved this time…

Concubine Zhao’s nose was crooked with anger:

“How could such a dirty thing appear in the manor! It must be investigated thoroughly! A complete investigation!”

The white-bearded divine doctor in the manor examined the wine, and only the wine at the main seat was poisoned; the others were fine.

Just at this moment, Jiang Rong returned from the Bamboo Forest Courtyard, first saluted her grandmother, then walked to Xie Lingxi’s side and said:

“There is a guest in the guest room who has also been affected.”

Old Madam Xie’s face slightly changed, “Who?”

Someone came to the manor for a banquet and ended up being given an aphrodisiac in the manor. If this got out, the manor’s reputation would be completely ruined.

“Shen Wenyuan,” Jiang Rong replied.

Xie Lingxi’s eyes instantly darkened. Shen Wenyuan? This scheme today was aimed at Jiang Rong.

Concubine Zhao’s face slightly changed, “How is Shen Wenyuan to be dealt with?”

This spring poison had no antidote. Qiao Shi had to call Xie Yuanwen back to save her life…

If Shen Wenyuan died, the Xie family would be in serious trouble!
