"Poisonous?" Yin Hong sneered upon hearing this. "Miss, you really think highly of them..." If it were poison, and the young lady was unprepared, at worst she would just die, which could be considered a blessing. But their hearts are truly cruel; they even thought of such a sinister scheme.
"What is it?" Seeing Yin Hong's furious expression, Qing Luan asked curiously. She really didn't understand much about poisons.
Sister Yun appeared to be a simple widow on the surface, but she had experienced the intrigues of high society herself. That's why she chose to bring Yin Hong back to Chen Residence with her—on the surface, Yin Hong seemed like an innocent maid, but in reality, she understood various poisons; no poison could escape her eyes.
"This drug will make it so that the young lady can never bear children again," a bloodthirsty glint flashed in Yin Hong's eyes as she said this with resentment.
"..." After hearing this, Qing Luan merely squinted her eyes and remained silent. She continued stirring the bowl of bird's nest soup with a spoon, and after a long while, she coldly asked, "What are the symptoms?"
"Fear of cold, stomach pain," Yin Hong replied in a deep voice.
"Then let it be," Qing Luan said calmly, her calmness almost frightening.
Aunt Lin had gone out with Azure Phoenix Sect. When she returned and heard what Yin Hong had said, her tightly clenched fists made cracking sounds. Her eyes turned green with hatred; if Chen Yan'er and Qiu Mingqi were in front of her at that moment, she would definitely pounce on them and bite them hard. "Damn despicable scoundrels!"
In her eyes, Qing Luan was equivalent to her own granddaughter. Anyone who dared to go against her closest kin would face her wrath without mercy!
"Miss, are we just going to let them off like this?" Aunt Lin looked at the calm young lady and asked unwillingly.
"No need to rush. I will repay them in kind for how they treat me..." Qing Luan's tone was very indifferent, but her gaze was particularly sinister.
"What do they want by doing this?" Aunt Lin appeared somewhat puzzled. "Hasn't the young lady already rejected Young Marquis? Why are they still resorting to such ruthless measures?" These people deserved to die!
"Hmph! I refuse him; Young Marquis feels embarrassed about it, while Chen Yan'er thinks I'm slapping her face by declaring I will never be a concubine. That's why they want to set me up... Once I have no children for life, Young Marquis will express his pain over my childlessness with a look full of deep meaning. At that point, if I still refuse him, it would be too ungrateful!" She analyzed the situation calmly and sneered as she spoke. "Without children, I will have no future; even if I have the ability to amass wealth, without children I will have to rely on Chen Residence to survive... What a clever scheme! Heh heh, if it weren't aimed at me, I would really admire them!"
"Miss, you're still joking," Yin Hong shot her an unhappy glance and said worriedly, "If they can think of such underhanded tricks, who knows what they'll do next? Miss, shouldn't we leave this place?"
Living here, one must be cautious about everything; there is no freedom at all. Only she, accustomed to it, enjoys the ease of being with everyone. It feels nothing like being at the Chen Residence, where it’s as if she’s trapped in a cage, feeling utterly uncomfortable.
Qing Luan noticed Yin Hong's aversion to this place and understood that she was concerned for her. She smiled and said, "Then just tell Sister Yun to send someone to pick me up tomorrow..."
"Alright, I'll go right away," Aunt Lin replied immediately upon hearing this, laughing alongside Yin Hong.
As long as the young lady was willing to leave this oppressive place, they were more than happy to cooperate.
That afternoon, Qing Luan felt unwell and cold all over. After being informed by a maid about Huang, she ordered someone to summon a doctor. However, Sister Yun, who had just entered looking for Qing Luan, saw her and made a mocking remark that left Huang pale and speechless. Just like that, the ailing Qing Luan was easily taken away by Sister Yun.
"Heh heh, Sister Yun, your sharp tongue is getting sharper," Qing Luan said as she sat up lazily against her pillow once they were out of the Chen Residence's confines.
"Hmph," Sister Yun's earlier sharp demeanor vanished. Now, her face was filled with resentment as she gritted her teeth and said, "Someone like her deserves every bit of scorn. Besides, she has no children because she's done too many shameful things..." Before she could continue her tirade, she felt overwhelmed and nearly fainted.
"You're poking at her pain when she's already hurting!" Qing Luan shot her a glance and chuckled. Huang had finally gained some standing and dominance in the Chen Residence; too bad she had no children; otherwise, Chen Xiaode would have elevated her status.
"When she wanted to cut off others' lineage, why didn't she think that far?" Sister Yun retorted without holding back. "Hey, Miss, are you helping me or sympathizing with her?"
"Heh heh, Sister Yun, the Miss isn't helping anyone; she just thinks you haven't been harsh enough. At least Huang didn't faint," Yin Hong chimed in with a laugh from the side.
"Ugh!" Sister Yun wiped the cold sweat from her forehead in disbelief. Why were all of the Miss's companions so cunning? It seemed she was still the kindest among them.
At the Chen Residence...
"Is it true?" Chen Yan'er hurried to the Chen Family after receiving the report. Unfortunately, by the time she arrived, Chen Qingluan had already been taken away by Boss from Jade Pavilion, which left her very displeased. "Why didn't you stop her? Are you sure her reaction came after drinking that bowl of bird's nest?"
Huang thought for a moment and replied, "It should be so; I saw her face turn pale and drenched in cold sweat; it must be true!"
"What do you mean by 'it should be'?" Chen Yan'er was furious, feeling exasperated. After all her careful planning, she wouldn't allow even the slightest mistake. "Why didn't you stop her? You're the head of the household; how could you let an outsider take someone away?" Damn it, she had planned everything so meticulously, how could there be unexpected complications?
Huang felt quite wronged, especially being inexplicably blamed by others, and with her daughter showing her disrespect, she said with a dark expression, "She came to see Qing Luan. The moment she saw her looking unwell and sweating profusely, she accused me of mistreating Qing Luan. She even said that I must have done many wicked things to end up without a son to support me in my old age... What did I do wrong? Why is everyone blaming me?"
Just like that, she was scolded and confused, and Qing Luan was taken away.
Seeing her mother in such a state of anger and grievance, Chen Yan'er’s furious expression softened. She pouted and finally said helplessly, "Fine, I'll send someone to bring her back later. Just say that the Legitimate Daughter of Chen Residence is ill and that we have our own people to take care of her; we don't need outsiders meddling!"
"I'll send someone," Huang replied. "And you shouldn't come here too often these days to avoid stirring up trouble!" A married daughter frequently visiting her family could provoke dissatisfaction from her husband's family, putting them in a difficult position.
"I understand," Chen Yan'er grumbled with a pout.
If she could help it, she really didn't want to return to that home!
