The old man did not give Xia Yuhan any time to react. He took out a carrier pigeon from his pocket and released it...
"This... Old Mischief Maker. Why do you carry everything with you?"
"Cough, cough. That's necessary. Before any major enemy arrives, this pigeon is our only means of sending signals."
Seeing Old Mischief Maker become serious, Xia Yuhan didn't know how to respond: "Um... You're not having a fever, are you? Suddenly getting serious makes it hard for me to adapt."
"Of course. When I get serious, I'm quite handsome. What? Are you dazzled by my charm?"
Xia Yuhan almost stumbled and fell over: "Old Mischief Maker, you're ruthless. But let's be clear, I don't like you. What does being handsome matter? Update me as soon as possible."
Upon hearing this, the old man shed two lines of hot tears.
Xia Yuhan was baffled. In a hurry, she didn't linger and left with just one sentence.
"I'll see you tonight at Fortune Restaurant."
"Isn't that the most famous restaurant in the capital? Going there for drinks?"
But the old man couldn't ask any further questions as Xia Yuhan used her invention, Mechanism, to descend from the rooftop and disappeared from his sight.
...
That night came very slowly. The seemingly calm capital was not as peaceful as it appeared on the surface.
As night fell, the lights in Sun Mansion were still bright. Xia Manor was the same.
General Xia could not find Xia Yuhan anywhere. He was anxious because he had an agreement with Xia Yuhan and knew she was planning something for tonight. He held back from reporting this to General Xia.
However, since the afternoon, he had not seen any sign of Xia Yuhan. Moreover, the guards sent to secretly protect her had lost track of her. So he was very worried about Xia Yuhan's safety.
At that moment, Xia Yuhan was in Fortune Restaurant. She was disguised as a soldier, so no one recognized her. But that did not mean that no one could identify her.
A mysterious woman in a black robe entered the restaurant and was immediately drawn to Xia Yuhan.
Taking advantage of the situation, she raised her hand and changed her voice to shout, "Bring me another jug of wine."
At this shout, the woman in the black robe paused for a moment and then quickly circled around Xia Yuhan and went upstairs.
When she turned her back to Xia Yuhan, she slightly raised her head, and a strong killing intent flashed in her eyes: How dare you come into my territory? It would be hard not to die.
Xia Yuhan sensed that killing intent. She naturally knew that what would be served to her next would be poisoned.
Now, she was alone here and could only hope that Sun Liuxiang would act quickly. She also hoped that at a critical moment, Sun Liuxiang would be able to play a role.
Today, she had successfully lured the Minister of Revenue here. Therefore, she had to succeed tonight no matter what.
Soon, the wine she wanted was brought up. However, when she looked at the expression of the waiter, it had changed slightly from before. Although it wasn't very obvious, Xia Yuhan noticed it.
"This fine wine you requested is excellent Daughter Red. Please enjoy it slowly."
"Mm." Xia Yuhan nodded symbolically and casually took the Daughter Red handed to her by the waiter.
The strong, stimulating aroma of the wine completely masked the poison mixed within it.
Uncertain whether the drink was wine or poison, Xia Yuhan deliberately spilled some on the table as she poured from the flask into her glass. Noticing there was no strong reaction, she concluded that it was not poisoned wine.
It seemed that this Madam wanted her, Xia Yuhan, to witness her own slow demise.
This Madam's methods were truly insidious. To take revenge, she had chosen the most cruel means possible.
Skillfully lifting the wine glass, Xia Yuhan covered it with one hand. This way, onlookers could only see her drinking but would have no idea whether she actually consumed any of it.
She raised the glass quickly and drank just as fast. After downing one cup, she continued with another. She repeated this three times before her drinking slowed slightly.
In reality, she hadn’t drunk a single drop. Instead, she let the liquid flow down her skin into the clothing beneath her neck. Since she was wearing armor, no one could see any signs of her clothes being soaked.
It wasn't until she finished the fourth cup that Xia Yuhan pretended to be a heavy drinker and sighed, "What a fine wine."
Feigning a heavy body, she leaned over the table.
"Madam, feel free to come at me. Today, I, Xia Yuhan, will surely crush you," she thought defiantly.
Before long, Xia Yuhan was lifted away by someone to an unknown location...
When the old man hurriedly arrived after giving his instructions, he searched the entire hotel but could not find a trace of Xia Yuhan.
However, when he spotted a dark object left on a table, he immediately recognized it as Xia Yuhan's belonging. But where was she? This afternoon, she had been scheming with Sun Liuxiang about something.
Why is it that until now, there is no trace of Sun Liuxiang or Sun Fugui?
It really makes the old man anxious. If Cang Yile comes back and finds that a piece of flesh is missing from his wife, he will surely drive the old man crazy. For more chapters, please visit.
Anxious. Anxious. Anxious. So anxious. Xia Yuhan is too reckless. How can she trust others so easily? She came here all alone to take risks.
The old man couldn't find anyone, so he simply left the tavern. Then he quietly sneaked back in and searched the entire large tavern but still couldn't find any sign of Xia Yuhan.
"It's over, it's over. Something must have happened." The old man was so anxious that he almost wanted to set the tavern on fire.
Even Xia Yuhan herself didn't expect to be taken to an extremely hidden secret room. Even if she quietly left some marks along the way, it would be difficult to discover this place.
Moreover, the secret room here is fortified with copper walls and iron doors. Is she being too reckless? Will she die here? Updates will come first.
But there was no time to think further. She was thrown harshly to the ground, causing her to grit her teeth in pain but not daring to make a sound.
"Madam, we have brought her."
"Wake her up with cold water."
"Yes."
Xia Yuhan felt that as soon as the person's words fell, she was doused with cold water: "Ah! So cold..."
Xia Yuhan was shocked by the cold water. When she got up, the first thing she saw was a woman in a black robe.
“Madam, how did you end up here? Is this Madam's territory? If Daddy finds out, do you think your days will be easy?”
Madam sat calmly on a metal chair, raising her proud chin at Xia Yuhan: “Instead of worrying about others, you should think about your own situation. Xia Yuhan, aren't you quite capable? Go ahead and fight. Show me how far you can fly.”
“Madam, how has Daddy trusted you all these years? You've secretly opened several restaurants in the capital under someone else's name, monopolizing the restaurant business here. Looking at the decor of this secret room, it seems you've made quite a fortune over the years.”
“Hmph. Scoundrel. It seems you know quite a bit.” Madam sneered. “But knowing so much won't help you now. You're about to die. Did you know? I was just thinking about how to kill you, but I didn't expect you to come right to me. You've saved me a lot of trouble.”
Although Xia Yuhan was isolated and helpless at that moment, she still tried to remain calm, engaging with Madam to ask what she wanted to know while thinking of ways to escape.
“Oh, Madam, can you tell Yu Han how I will die?”
“Hmph. If you're in my hands, I certainly won't let you die easily. Before you're on the brink of death, I'll make sure you're thoroughly disgraced.”
“Madam, you're truly ruthless. It's hard to believe that Daddy was blind enough to marry you back then.”
Xia Yuhan didn't expect her words would infuriate Madam, who immediately slapped her twice.
“Scoundrel. Don't bring up the past with me. Thinking back, it's really laughable. I fell head over heels for the General back then and used many means to marry him. In the end, he really did marry me. But do you know? On our wedding night, the General got drunk and mistook me for another woman named ‘Yan'er. I only found out later that he married me because I looked like that Yan'er.”
“I put up with that, but later when the General returned from the front lines, he brought back your mother and daughter as his illegitimate children. At first, he cared for you both so much. From that moment on, I vowed to take revenge on him. My love for him was deep, and so was my hatred.”
“But later on, for some reason, the General's attitude towards you grew cold. Do you know why? Because you're just a bastard child.”
Xia Yuhan never expected that she had been brought back by General Xia. But why had none of these Second Madam ever mentioned it to her?
There was also that woman whom General Xia liked before. Why haven't I heard Second Madam mention this?
Xia Yuhan looked at the increasingly uncontrollable Madam: "Because of this, Madam has always regarded Yu Han as a wild seed. Until Longhui Prince came to Xia Manor and met Yu Han. He fell in love with Yu Han at first sight and developed murderous intent towards her. So he meticulously designed a plan to have Yu Han's purity taken away, leading to her disgrace. Isn't it all thanks to you?"
"Hmph. How would I know?"
"I also know you don't have that capability. So who was the one who instructed you to frame me?"
But what followed were two slaps: "What right does a wild seed like you have to know these things?"
Xia Yuhan painfully received the two slaps from Madam again: "If you don't answer, it means you're guilty. You are truly vicious. You moved the wealth of Xia Manor, didn't you? Instead, you did something unforgivable to Daddy and even kept a wild man outside. Madam, compared to you, I, Xia Yuhan, am much less filthy and dirty."
"Now not only are your actions dirty, but your heart is also filthy. Since we've come this far, let's lay everything bare. Madam, wasn't it you who caused Yu Han to faint for seven nights before?" Xia Yuhan's anger grew more imposing.
"Bastard. Shut your mouth. So what if it was me? It's just a pity I couldn't poison you to death. After that, you grew stronger and designed for me to be placed under house arrest by the general, even taking away my actual power. But the good thing is that the silver of Xia Manor is still in my hands... Hahaha..."
Madam felt increasingly pleased. Although she had suffered so much, this time, she would definitely be the one laughing last.
