Chapter 23 Poisoned
Shang Zhanchen stood behind the curtain, holding his belt in a tangled manner and was reluctant to untie it.
Although there was a curtain in front of him to block his privacy, it seemed to have no effect on him.
I always feel like that woman is right in front of me, and it's a very awkward feeling.
But when I think about the fact that I will have to live like this in the future, if I keep worrying about these things, I will be the one who suffers.
After some mental preparation, he quickly unbuckled his belt.
"……………………"
Even the woman doesn't mind, so why should he, a grown man, mind?
He quickly took off all his clothes and poured the water in the bucket into the wooden basin.
He glanced at the towel used by Shen Yiyi and Xiang Yizi beside him and took them directly.
They were sleeping under the same quilt, so there was no need to be too fussy about it, especially since she was his Crown Princess.
It had never been so long since he had gone without washing. Although the washing was simple, when he wiped his body clean.
I still feel a lot more comfortable, especially the smell of that woman's sweet sister-in-law.
The smell makes people feel inexplicably refreshed, as if the whole body is much more relaxed.
Seeing Xiaoguai was about to fetch water after taking a bath, Shen Yiyi hurriedly got up from the bed.
"Let me open the door for you."
She opened the door tactfully, but when Shang Zhanchen came back with the water, another person followed him.
"You two, there are many mosquitoes in our rural village at night. Hang this inside the house to prevent you from being bitten at night."
Wu Ergou bared his big yellow teeth and shook the burning moxa stick in his hand as he spoke.
This is a must-have in almost every household. It is to cut the mugwort and braid it into long braids like braids.
After it dries, light it at night when there are many mosquitoes. It can have a good insect repellent effect.
"Okay! Thank you!"
Shen Yiyi grinned, took the moxa stick directly from Wu Ergou's hand, and locked the door again.
Looking at the burning moxa stick in his hand, he curled the corners of his mouth in sarcasm.
"……………………"
He is far from being able to play tricks on me.
After looking around, he hung the moxa stick directly on the door, then ran to the bag and took out a bag of medicine powder.
He sprinkled it directly on the moxa stick, and then climbed onto the bed happily.
“……………………”Shang Zhanchen raised his eyebrows.
This woman doesn't seem that stupid, although I don't know what she just scattered.
But one thing is certain, this woman should be on guard against the father and son.
Seeing Xiaoguai staring at her, Shen Yiyi made a gesture to him to keep quiet.
Then he put his mouth closer and whispered softly.
"There will be a good show to watch tomorrow morning, hehe......"
After saying that, he crawled to his seat and lay down with a bang.
She thought that the old lady was easy to fool, and thought that if they didn't provoke her, she wouldn't bother to care about them.
But since they are seeking death, don't blame yourself for being cruel.
Looking at the cunning in the woman's eyes, I vaguely felt that the father and son might be in trouble.
Shen Yiyi had been pulling the wheelbarrow for the whole day and was really tired, plus she had taken a comfortable bath.
After closing his eyes for a while, he fell into a deep sleep, listening to the woman's even breathing.
It was obvious that she was asleep, and Shang Zhanchen gave her a look of disdain.
"……………………"
This heart is really big.
Even though he had already discovered that the father and son had ill intentions, he could still sleep so soundly.
As I was thinking, my eyelids started to droop and soon I fell into a deep sleep.
Jiang Zuo, who was guarding outside, was also yawning continuously. He had been busy all night and was exhausted.
Just when he was about to fall asleep, he saw the doors of the two rooms on the east side opened.
"Huh?" He immediately became alert.
He stared straight at the father and son, who were just sneaking out of the house and running straight to the master and the Crown Princess's room.
“……………………” He narrowed his eyes.
His face turned cold, and he knew that they had bad intentions and were planning to take action.
He placed his hand on the soft sword at his waist and stared straight at the father and son.
If they really dare to do anything to the master and the Crown Princess, tonight will be their death.
The Wu father and son didn't know that there was another person hiding on the roof of the house, staring at them.
He came to the door of Shen Yiyi and the others and put his ear close to it.
"Dad, it should be fine." Wu Ergou looked at his father.
Standing outside, I can smell the strong smell of moxa smoke. I think the two people inside have already lost consciousness.
"Go ahead." Wu Ergou's father nodded at him.
In order to be safer tonight, I put more medicine in the moxa stick than ever before.
I guess the couple inside are already unconscious by now.
"Okay." Wu Ergou nodded at his father.
He thrust the dagger in his hand, and just like every time, he used the dagger to cut the bolt open little by little.
After trying for a long time, the bolt didn't move and the door was still tightly closed.
"Dad, this isn't possible." Wu Ergou looked at his father.
This door bolt was easy to open in the past. I don’t know why it is so tight today and I haven’t been able to open it for such a long time.
"Useless guy, let me do it!" Wu Ergou's father glared at him in dissatisfaction.
He snatched the dagger from his hand again, moved closer, and inserted the dagger into the door through the crack, trying to open the bolt.
The result was the same as Wu Ergou's. He tried for a long time but failed to open the door.
I don’t know if it’s because of my anxiety or what, but my legs have no strength left.
And my head started to feel dizzy.
“……………………” He shook his head.
Why do they feel like they are poisoned? But they clearly have taken the antidote.
As I was thinking about this, I heard my son's weak voice.
"Dad, why am I so tired?"
I had a full meal tonight, and I was fine when I came out just now.
At this moment, I felt sore and weak all over, and my legs felt like they were not my own.
As soon as he finished speaking, he closed his eyes and fell to the ground.
"Ergou." Wu Ergou's father looked shocked.
Just as he was about to help his son up, he felt his body was too weak.
Before he could figure out what was happening, he fell down.
“……………………”Jiang Zuo.
He jumped down from the beam and stared at the father and son lying on the ground.
What the hell is this!
Before he could even do anything, the two grandsons lay down on their own.
He was just about to feel their breath to see if they were dead or alive, but he hadn't bent over yet.
Then I heard the hurried voice of the master in the room.
"Stay away, or you'll get poisoned."
Shang Zhanchen looked towards the door. He wondered what kind of powder the woman had sprinkled on the moxa stick.
If Jiang Zuo gets sick again, I'll have to get the antidote for him, so I thought of giving him a reminder.
After hearing what his master said, Jiang Zuo jumped several feet away.
I tossed and turned all night last night and my body is still weak, but I really can't stand it anymore.
