Chapter 295 Drugging
Qin Baiwan? Or was it a year ago?
Wu Weiwei fell into deep thought, carefully searching her mind for memories of a year ago.
Memories flashed through her mind like shuttles.
However, after thinking for a long time, she couldn't find any information about Qin Baiwan at all.
"Furong, I can't remember!"
Wu Weiwei frowned.
"Do I know Qin Baiwan? Is this a serious matter?"
Wu Weiwei didn't understand why Chen Furong's expression was so serious.
"Sister Weiwei, I have something to tell you..."
An abandoned house on the outskirts of Beijing.
He Yuyan and Dingxiang sneaked to the door.
"Knock knock!"
The people inside were startled by the sound.
"Who?"
"it's me."
The door opened, and a thin, dark-skinned girl of about eleven years old looked at them with a frightened expression.
"Where's Sister Yanyu? Why didn't she come?"
"You're Dong Chun, the one she hired to do the work, right?"
Dingxiang gave her a disdainful look. Dressed so poorly and ugly, she was definitely a poor girl.
Only someone like that would do something like that.
Dingxiang herself may not want to do it, but that doesn't stop her from criticizing others.
"Yes, I am Dong Chun. Sister Yanyu asked me to stay here."
He Yuyan walked inside.
Then you can see a row of communal beds with several small babies wrapped in cloth.
Although they were all babies, none of them cried.
Dingxiang was skeptical; could it be a fake baby?
As the two approached, they saw that the girls were sucking on a soft, nursing device similar to a breastfeeding instrument in their small mouths.
So that's why they didn't cry. I didn't expect Yanyu to be so resourceful.
Dingxiang walked closer and counted them.
"Young lady, there are only eight babies; we're short two!"
Upon hearing Dingxiang's words, Dong Chun respectfully replied, "Sister Yanyu has already gone out to look for her. Please wait a little longer, sir. Sister Yanyu said she will definitely bring her back today..."
"Oh."
He Yuyan looked at the row of babies sucking on pacifiers on the dormitory bed.
Look at how adorably they suck on their food, it's just too cute!
But no matter how cute she is, it can't compare to her own life.
Although she didn't want to harm people like Xie Ningxin, she didn't want to die either; it was all those people's fault that she was harmed.
If it weren't for them, I wouldn't have been so cruel as to take their lives.
Blame Wu Weiwei!
If she hadn't taken my place, I wouldn't be in this situation today.
Dingguohou Mansion.
With a basket in her hand, Yan Yu hurriedly walked towards the courtyard of Fifth Aunt in the backyard.
She heard that the Marquis was going to take his fifth concubine to Qinglan Temple to fulfill a vow today, while the twins, who were already three months old, would be cared for at home by their wet nurses and maids.
She searched for several days and found all the babies over 100 days old in the suburbs of Beijing.
Today is the day to hand over the personnel; we only need two more.
She had no other choice.
Fearing that He Yuyan would blame her for her poor handling of the matter and take action against her family, she had no choice but to set her sights on the fifth concubine and her twins...
Now that May has passed, the weather is gradually becoming hot and dry.
Chen, the wet nurse, was drowsy while guarding the room. Another wet nurse who worked with her must have gone to the outhouse. Some of the maids were taking a nap, while others went to play in the other courtyard.
Now, only the wet nurse Chen was watching over the two babies. Seeing that the twins were sleeping soundly, the wet nurse Chen couldn't help but lie down and fall asleep beside them.
Yan Yu had anticipated this scene when she came in; she glanced at the burning incense beside her.
After walking over and extinguishing the incense, she replaced it with the regular agarwood she had prepared beforehand.
Then she came to the bedside and saw two sleeping babies. She opened the lid of the basket.
They gently placed the baby inside.
In this way, without alerting anyone, Yan Yu secretly took the Fifth Concubine's two babies away from the Marquis's mansion.
As soon as Yan Yu walked out of the Marquis's residence, Xiao Shitou, who was waiting outside, frowned.
"Xiao Yuan, hurry and go to the Dali Temple to report that there are thieves practicing evil arts in Shili Village on the outskirts of the capital, killing infants and taking their hearts! Go now!"
"Okay, Brother Stone."
After Xiaoyuan left, Xiaoshitou thought for a moment and then walked straight to Lin Fan's residence.
Today, the master went to Panshan Villa, and I'm afraid he won't be back for a while.
The owner had instructed him that if he encountered any problems he couldn't solve, he should go to Manager Lin for help, and never act on his own again.
Last time, his recklessness almost led to his death. If it weren't for his employer's rescue, he would probably be meeting his maker by now.
After everyone's tense wait, today's "hunting game" finally began.
Sitting next to Qin Baiwan, Lu Hanting watched this scene with disdain.
However, Qin Baiwan snorted coldly at him: "Commander Lu, I don't recall sending you an invitation. You've come uninvited today. What brings you here?"
Although both men were disliked by the officials, Lu Hanting was much better off than Qin Baiwan.
At least he holds power, and compared to Qin Baiwan, Lu Hanting has secured his position as the capital envoy entirely through his own abilities, making him a figure to be feared by others.
Qin Baiwan's success was solely due to the support of the Duke of Qin; otherwise, he would have been drowned in the scorn of the world long ago.
"It's not a matter of giving guidance, it's just that I suddenly felt like it and I'm giving you face!"
Lu Hanting still spoke with the same arrogance.
"Hehe! So, in that case, I, Qin, should thank you for giving me face..."
Qin Baiwan raised the wine in his hand and provocatively said to him, "Since that's the case, then Commander Lu might as well give me some face and finish this pot of wine in front of you! That way, no one will say that I, Qin, have not been a good host!"
He watched as Qin Baiwan finished the pot of wine in his hand.
In front of everyone, it would be unreasonable for Lu Hanting not to give him face.
He picked up the glass of wine in front of him and stared intently at its color.
The wine was golden in color, but it smelled delicious and made one's mouth water.
Seeing Lu Tinghan staring blankly at the wine in his hand, Qin Baiwan raised an eyebrow.
"What? Is Commander Lu worried that I poisoned the wine?"
"Ha, do you dare?"
Lu Hanting glanced at him dismissively, raised his glass, and drank it down in one gulp.
Seeing him drink the wine, Qin Baiwan smiled.
Although he did not drug the drink, he made other arrangements.
After drinking the wine, Lu Hanting did not feel anything unusual in his body.
This scene was witnessed by Wu Weiwei, who was not far away, but the fight between the two had nothing to do with her.
Her attention wasn't on that, but on the female slaves of today.
Seeing Wu Weiwei looking in his direction, Lu Hanting smiled.
He couldn't help but feel a little smug.
Look!
Wei'er still cares about herself; she's probably worried that Qin Baiwan might drug her!
