Jiang Duming: "Once this person becomes suspicious, they must personally verify it. If Liu Daiyu is indeed Sleeping Beauty, then he is also the one who harmed Liu Daiyu. Who knows if there were any calculations involved in these recent events. How to prove it? Sleeping Beauty... Sleeping Beauty... Yes, Sleeping Beauty!
Jiang Duming: "I remember, there's still some love potion left for Sleeping Beauty."
River manager: "Yes."
Jiang Duming: "Bring a bottle, you go yourself."
River manager: "The lord wants..."
Jiang Duming: (Raises his head and looks straight ahead)
River manager: "Yes, I will go now as ordered."
Steward has always been the most reliable subordinate of Jiang Duming. That afternoon, an unopened bottle of Sleeping Beauty was already placed on Jiang Duming's desk. Thinking back to the first time he saw Sleeping Beauty, with its body covered in delicate flowers, Jiang Duming felt no ripples in his heart, but rather a hint of disgust. If things turned out as he expected, then he could only blame himself for being momentarily confused.
Jiang Duming took out the bloodline Ice lotus that had been treasured in the mansion for over thirty years. It was a type of snow lotus that the old city lord had accidentally discovered during his travels to distant lands when he was young. It was even more precious than the already rare snow lotus. The growth of the bloodline Ice lotus was particularly difficult. Not only was it extremely picky about its environment, but it also required the rare bloodline worm to take residence in its roots and veins before it bloomed. The two would merge, and after the snow lotus bloomed, there would be traces of bloodlines on its petals, similar to human veins. According to legend, the bloodline Ice lotus had the special effects of detoxification and awakening the mind, so it was revered as "immortal medicine."
Many years had passed, and only one petal remained out of the original ten. After much consideration, Jiang Duming decided to take a gamble. He took out that petal, soaked it in a bottle of Sleeping Beauty halfway, let the petal absorb the juice, and then dried it in a cool, shady place, leaving no trace. The next day, Li's family received a message from the city lord's mansion—Master Liu was saved!
【Li's family Liu Dafu Room】
Jiang Duming: "Madam."
Liu Daiyu (anxiously): "You finally came! You sent someone to report that there's a way to save father. What is the way?"
Jiang Duming: "Madam, please don't worry. All of you, please step back."
Servants: "Yes."
Jiang Duming: "Madam, take a look." (Opens the brocade box)
Liu Daiyu: "What is this?"
Jiang Duming: "Bloodline Ice lotus."
Liu Daiyu (surprised): "Is this the bloodline of the Ice lotus that can cure all poisons and awaken the mind? Where did you get it from? My Li's family has been in the medicine business for so many years, and we've never been fortunate enough to come across it."
Jiang Duming: "My father happened to pick it in his early years, and now only this last petal is left. I just remembered it and immediately took it out. But..."
Liu Daiyu: "But what?"
Jiang Duming: "After all, the special effect of the 'Ice Lotus' bloodline is just a rumor, with no real evidence and no precedent. If something goes wrong after Stepfather takes it, it will be hard to handle."
Liu Daiyu: "The reason father is like this now is also because of me. Although I don't know why he would treat Liu Daiyan like that, no matter what, he is the only close relative in this world. Since I was young, father has been my reliance. No matter what I want or do, he always takes care of me. As long as I can save father, even if it means dying, I am willing to do it. (Wiping away a tear) I already have poison in my body, so even if it's poison, I'm not afraid. At most, I'll feel uncomfortable for a couple of days."
Jiang Duming (seemingly hesitant): "It seems we can only do it this way."
Jiang Duming had the maid bring the grinding tools and personally tore off half of the flower leaves, finely crushed them into powder, dissolved them in the white water in the teacup, and handed it to Liu Daiyu.
Jiang Duming: "Here you go."
Liu Daiyu: (glances at the teacup, drinks it all in one go)
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Liu Daiyu didn't feel anything unusual, but instead felt her mind exceptionally clear. She was certain that the bloodline Ice lotus was indeed a rare elixir. She quickly crossed over Jiang Duming, took the utensils and ground the remaining half of the flower leaves, dissolved them in water, and fed them to Liu Dafu. Then, she sat by the bed watching Liu Dafu, with an air of "I won't leave until my father wakes up." However, not long after, the clear mind she had just had began to feel somewhat stifled, and she slowly felt a surge of heat in her body.
Jiang Duming: "How are you? Why is your face suddenly so red?"
Liu Daiyu: "It's nothing, perhaps it's the conflict between the bloodline Ice lotus and the toxic blood in my body, causing some fever."
Jiang Duming: "Let the maid help you back to your room to rest. Stepfather has been unconscious for so long, it won't be just a day or two before he wakes up."
Liu Daiyu: "No, I want to stay with father."
Jiang Duming: "Right now, you are not just Liu Daiyu, but also the Lady of the City. There's a child in your belly. Don't worry, I'm here."
Liu Daiyu It's important to act convincingly, so as not to arouse suspicion at this time. Besides, she really isn't feeling well at the moment, so she had to agree to go back to her room to rest. But as soon as she sat down on the bed, she slumped down directly.
Maid B: "Miss, what's wrong with you? Should I call Dr. Li to come and have a look?"
Liu Daiyu (restrained): "You go out first."
Maid B: "But, Miss..."
Liu Daiyu (fierce): "I told you to go out!"
Handmaid B (startled): "Y-yes..."
Liu Daiyu (speaking quickly, restrained): "Do not alert anyone, including the lord."
Handmaid B: "Yes." (hurriedly closes the door and exits)
Liu Daiyu: (Feeling feverish and uncomfortable, unable to help but want to moan and punish herself, but managing to restrain herself)
Liu Daiyu finally realized something was wrong. This feeling was too familiar, the urge of desire was clearly the effect of the "Sleeping Beauty" potion! She desperately tried to summon the black mist, but had no control over it. She even let out a low moan through clenched teeth, unable to maintain her pregnant appearance, and even the scar on her cheek became visible. With a creak, someone came in, and Liu Daiyu had to grab the blanket tightly around herself.
Liu Daiyu (ominous): "Didn't I tell you to leave?"
Jiang Duming: "It's me."
Liu Daiyu (panicked): "Jiang Duming?"
Jiang Duming: "Just now, that maid looked frightened, so I came to check if you were okay."
Liu Daiyu (restrained): "I'm fine. Please leave quickly. I need to rest."
Jiang Duming: "I'll be out soon, but before I go, I need to see something."
Liu Daiyu (restraining herself): "What do you need to see?"
Before Liu Daiyu could react, Jiang Duming forcefully pulled back the covers and immediately saw the prominent scar. His eyes sharpened, and he moved to grab Liu Daiyu's dress.
Liu Daiyu (shocked and angry): "What are you doing!" (hides in the bed)
Jiang Duming seemed to not hear at all, grabbing Liu Daiyu's leg and pulling her towards him. The aphrodisiac had taken effect, and Liu Daiyu had no strength to resist. Her dress was torn open, revealing her graceful figure, adorned with delicate flower petals.
Jiang Duming: "It really is you, Sleeping Beauty!"
