Rebirth on the wedding night, being doted on by the scumbag elder brother
Chapter 469 Caught Off Guard
"Poison?" Mrs. Shen was surprised. She had never heard that Doctor Tao and Ye Yunzi knew such methods.
These two people look weak, how could they use poison?
"Madam Shen, because of the loss of my two men, we will have to settle the account in the future!" the scarred man threatened.
Madam Shen was not someone who was easily frightened. She sat firmly on the chair and said calmly, "As long as you can complete the task, you will not be given a penny less."
The scarred man was about to draw his knife to threaten him when he suddenly felt a chill on his neck and a sharp blade was pressed against his throat.
He looked back and saw a young woman standing next to him, exuding a chilling coldness.
The scarred man was startled and didn't dare to act rashly. "Don't be impulsive. We can talk it over."
Madam Shen took a sip of tea, suppressed her anger, and said coldly: "Your mission failed. I will not pursue it, but you must find their whereabouts within three days!"
"Otherwise..." Although she didn't finish her words, the chill in her tone was enough to explain everything.
The scarred man broke out in a cold sweat as he realized that he had underestimated Mrs. Shen. Not only was she scheming, but she also had such powerful guards around her.
He knew he was powerless to fight back.
"Yes, ma'am, please rest assured, I will complete the task!" The man with the scar hurriedly agreed, fearing that Madam Shen would be unhappy.
Madam Shen put down the teacup in her hand and waved her hand gently. The maid put away the knife and stepped aside, her face expressionless.
"It's not easy to kill them. They are proficient in disguise and can transform into anyone. Even if you see them, you may not recognize them." Mrs. Shen said slowly.
The scarred man was speechless for a moment, sweating coldly: "Then what should I do?"
Mrs. Shen nodded slightly, and the maid immediately presented her with an exquisite porcelain vase.
Scar took it, and the bottle seemed to contain some liquid: "What is this?"
"This is a potion that can break disguises. Just sprinkle it on your face and the disguise will disappear without a trace." Mrs. Shen said lightly.
She had anticipated this day and had someone prepare this potion.
"You'll have three days to find and kill them!"
"Yes." The man with the scar put away the porcelain bottle solemnly, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.
After Scar left, Madam Shen clenched her teacup tightly, her eyes turning cold: "We must deal with them as soon as possible. No matter what they plan to do, we must stop them!"
At this time, the Princess of Nanyue walked into the hall. She listened to every word of the conversation just now, and a gleam of light flashed in her eyes.
"Ye Yunzi and the others must be looking for a way to detoxify the poison! Apart from Doctor Xue An, who else can do it?" Princess Nanyue asked directly.
When Mrs. Shen saw the princess coming in, she did not show any dissatisfaction, but instead seemed to be thinking: "Yes, Dr. Xue An!"
"Although the great doctor Xue An is unwilling to be an official, his disciple Tao Qiming is well-known." Princess Nanyue added coldly.
"Tao Qiming..." Mrs. Shen was shocked. All the clues were finally connected.
"They must have gone to find Dr. Xue An to remove the poison."
The Princess of Nanyue clenched her fists and felt regretful. If she had acted more decisively at the beginning, she would not be in trouble today.
"We must act before they see Dr. Xue An!" Princess Nanyue said firmly.
Mrs. Shen's face darkened, realizing that Scar alone might not be enough and that she needed more help. She stood up abruptly and said, "I'll go ask for Lord Yin's support right now."
Princess Nanyue understood Madam Shen's plan and stepped aside to make way: "I'll leave this matter to Madam Shen."
Although she is a princess, it is not appropriate for her to act personally in a foreign country. But Mrs. Shen is different. She has the ability and means to handle everything.
After leaving the Shen Mansion, Mrs. Shen hurried to Lord Yin's house to report the situation.
They plan to support Shen Siyan to ascend the throne to restore the glory of the old dynasty. Therefore, the poison in Shen Siyan cannot be removed, and Ye Yunzi and Tao Qiming must first deal with these two before finding the genius doctor Xue An.
After hearing this, Lord Yin's face turned pale and he angrily scolded her for her incompetence.
"You can't even accomplish such a small task!" he said angrily.
Madam Shen lowered her head, not daring to argue: "I was careless. I originally thought Ye Yunzi was just a delicate young lady, but I didn't expect..."
"I didn't expect her to be so difficult to deal with." Lord Yin snorted coldly and said no more.
"Lord Yin, the situation is pressing now. We must get rid of Ye Yunzi and Tao Qiming as soon as possible." Mrs. Shen said cautiously.
Lord Yin was silent for a moment, then nodded in agreement: "I will arrange for someone to handle this matter. Don't act rashly during this period of time and pay close attention to Shen Siyan's safety."
"understood."
Mrs. Shen responded and added, "Tao Qiming is proficient in disguise. It may take some skills to find them..."
"You don't have to worry about this. I have a way." Lord Yin replied calmly.
Mrs. Shen heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this. She felt that things had taken a turn for the better and felt much more relaxed. She then said goodbye and left. When she returned to the Shen Mansion, her steps were much lighter.
At this moment, Ye Yunzi and Shen Siyan were heading to Liuzhou. Considering the danger of traveling at night, they decided to spend the night at the post station to ensure a safe journey.
After settling down at the post station, Ye Yunzi decided to book only one room. Neither she nor Tao Qiming knew martial arts, and if they encountered danger, they might be caught off guard.
Leng Xue couldn't protect two people at the same time, so the three of them decided to live in the same room. Although it was a bit inconvenient, they had no other choice.
Tao Qiming seemed very embarrassed and said, "Miss Su, please rest assured. I will just take care of you for one night."
Ye Yunzi did not refuse and spread the bedding on the floor for Tao Qiming.
"Then I'll trouble you, Doctor Tao."
"No, no." Tao Qiming shook his head. He was used to traveling outside, so this inconvenience was nothing. He just felt a little guilty towards Ye Yunzi.
Leng Xue sat quietly at the door and said expressionlessly, "Don't worry, Miss. I will guard the door well."
Tao Qiming's heart tightened, as if he had read another meaning from Leng Xue's words. The three of them simply ate some dry food and prepared to rest and continue their journey tomorrow.
A day of running around left Ye Yunzi exhausted and her eyelids felt heavy. She fell asleep soon after lying down.
After Tao Qiming finished preparing the herbs, he yawned and lay down, soon falling into a deep sleep. Leng Xue remained awake alone, guarding with an expressionless face, alert to every move of the outside world.
The Su family's caravan stopped and prepared to take a short rest in the wilderness.
They chose not to stay in the inn because the previous stay was only to take care of Miss Su and they didn't want her to suffer. Su Luoan looked around and decided: "Let's rest here for one night."
However, not far away, a pair of cold eyes were watching their every move through the cover of the woods.
The man searched the crowd again and again, but he still couldn't see the figure of the important person he was ordered to find.
