Chapter 2020 Join forces
Lu Xiaoyue, whose body was abused by the beggar, was filled with Chen Changli.
The two hit it off immediately and decided to join forces to seek justice for themselves. After discussing in the house for a day, they finally came up with a plan.
"Qin Tianci, I hope your plan will be useful." Lu Xiaoyue spoke softly. Faced with the doubts, Qin Tianci just smiled and stopped talking.
Lu Xiaoyue did not delay and took him to knock on the Qin family's door again. After returning Qin Tianci to the Qin family, Lu Xiaoyue turned around and asked to see Chen Changli and Wan Shufang.
Qin Wenxuan saw that she had found his brother and wanted to repay him, so he took her to find someone. As soon as he saw Lu Xiaoyue, Wan Shufang's face looked a little bad.
"Minister Qin, why are you with her?" Wan Shufang asked with a frown in a flat tone, so Qin Wenxuan did not hear the displeasure in her words.
"My lord, madam, this is the case. This girl found Tianci and begged me to bring her to you. In return, I agreed."
He smiled apologetically. The reason he agreed to bring Lu Xiaoyue along was simply because Qin Wenxuan felt that with him watching over them, nothing would happen to Chen Changli and Wan Shufang.
At this moment, Lu Xiaoyue changed her previous bad attitude, her eyes were red, and she apologized to the two pitifully and sincerely: "Brother Chen, Madam Chen, it's all Xiaoyue's fault. Xiaoyue is sorry for you."
"These past few days, I have thought about it carefully. I shouldn't have used my gratitude to repay you, and I shouldn't have done those things that hurt your feelings. I have always wanted to apologize to you, so I asked to meet you."
Lu Xiaoyue's face was full of remorse. She even knelt on the ground and raised her hand to slap herself. After only two slaps, Chen Changli stopped her.
After all, he still felt guilty towards her parents, so he didn't want to be too harsh on Lu Xiaoyue.
"Brother Chen, Madam Chen, Xiaoyue really knows that she was wrong, but it is really difficult for an orphan like Xiaoyue to survive. Even if you want to drive me away, can you... can you help me find a place to live?" She pitifully pulled at the hem of Wan Shufang's skirt, crying and complaining, her eyes full of regret.
This request was not excessive. As long as the two of them helped her find a place to live and ensured her safety, she would stop pestering them.
Chen Changli's heart was moved instantly. He looked up at Wan Shufang and said in a gentle voice, "Shufang, otherwise... help her again. Although she did something wrong, at least her parents died because of us."
After hearing this, Wan Shufang did not jump to conclusion, but Qin Wenxuan on the side was already stunned. He had no idea that Lu Xiaoyue had such a connection with Chen Changli and his wife.
He stood aside weakly, not daring to speak, until a long time passed, Wan Shufang finally sighed: "Okay, I promise you, we will buy you a house."
As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Xiaoyue's face suddenly broke into smiles, and she subconsciously wanted to thank her, but the next second, Wan Shufang changed the subject and shattered her fantasy.
"As for these few days, please trouble Minister Qin to find her a safe place to live." She looked at Qin Wenxuan with a burning gaze, causing Qin Wenxuan to cough lightly and could only nod in agreement.
After all, he was the one who brought the people here, so it wasn't difficult to just find a place for them to live.
"Madam, rest assured. Qin will make all the arrangements."
"Thank you, Lord Shangshu."
The two of them talked alternately and instantly decided where Lu Xiaoyue would go. Seeing that Wan Shufang had no intention of keeping her by her side, Lu Xiaoyue couldn't help but grit her teeth.
"It seems that I have to use that trick." She thought secretly, her eyes turned red from crying, and she thanked the two of them obediently and begged for forgiveness.
The noise gave Wan Shufang a headache, and Lu Xiaoyue, while no one was paying attention, quietly placed a sachet next to Chen Changli's pillow.
When Wan Shufang wanted to shout to drive them away, she took the initiative to say goodbye: "Brother Chen, Madam Chen, if that's the case, I won't bother you anymore."
Having said that, Lu Xiaoyue stood up and followed Qin Wenxuan out silently. Wan Shufang was a little surprised to see her being so cooperative.
"This little girl is so obedient, is she planning something bad?"
Seeing her frowning and looking worried, Chen Changli couldn't help laughing and comforted her: "No matter how cunning she is, she is just an eighteen-year-old girl. How can she compare to Madam?"
"She must have realized her mistake this time and was afraid that we would drive her away and she would have nowhere to stay, so she came back shamelessly. Madam, don't worry, no matter if she likes me or not, I only like you."
Chen Changli raised his hand and swore. He couldn't guarantee that Lu Xiaoyue had no improper thoughts about him when she came back this time, but he could guarantee that he would never betray Wan Shufang.
As for Lu Xiaoyue, no matter how guilty she felt, she would not let her go past Wan Shufang.
Looking at Chen Changli's firm and affectionate eyes, Wan Shufang burst out laughing and rolled her eyes at him: "If I hadn't arrived in time, you would have lost your virginity in the winery."
When talking about the last time, Chen Changli's face looked a little unhappy and he shouted immediately.
"An Yi, keep an eye on Lu Xiaoyue. If she acts like a demon again, kill her."
"Yes, master."
An Yi flew away, and Chen Changli held Wan Shufang's hand tightly: "I was defenseless last time. Although I agreed to her coming back, I will not be defenseless against her again."
"I believe you."
Wan Shufang showed helplessness on her face. Perhaps she was a little tired. She yawned uncontrollably. Her mind was fuzzy, so she pulled Chen Changli to rest like a spoiled child.
The two of them lay on the bed, no longer mentioning Lu Xiaoyue, and soon fell into a deep sleep.
For several days, Lu Xiaoyue did not come to cause trouble, and the secret guards did not find anything unusual. Just when Chen Changli and Wan Shufang thought that she had finally gotten better and began to feel relieved, Chen Changli began to cough up blood inexplicably.
Looking at the bloodstains on the handkerchief, Chen Changli's eyes flickered, and Wan Shufang also snatched the handkerchief away.
"Cough cough..."
"How could this happen? Chen Changli, please stretch out your hand." Wan Shufang put down her handkerchief, took Chen Changli's hand, and took his pulse with bated breath.
The pulse is disordered, but I can't tell why.
She suddenly became a little anxious, so she dismissed everyone and pulled Chen Changli into the space. After a careful diagnosis and treatment, Wan Shufang found that he was poisoned.
"poisoned!"
"We've been eating and living together these days, there's no reason for us to be poisoned. Changli, did you come into contact with anything else?"
Hearing this, Chen Changli was also full of doubts. He shook his head gently, feeling a tightness in his chest. He held on to the table and suppressed the urge to vomit.
Seeing this, Wan Shufang became more and more anxious, but if she couldn't identify the poison, she didn't know how to detoxify it.
Thinking of this, she stood up and searched the room for poison. Finally, she found the sachet under the pillow.
"What is this?" Wan Shufang stared at the sachet but did not dare to touch it directly. Instead, she took out a pair of gloves from the space and put them on before opening the sachet.
Wan Shufang looked solemn as she looked at the red powder hidden inside. The powder was as fine as dust, and she didn't recognize it...
