Yun Jinnian was shocked; she had not expected Ruan Wanrong to discuss such matters with her.
Although she was sowhat intelligent, she had little experience with such secretive affairs.
After so thought, she spoke, "I’m afraid I won’t be of much help in this area, either. The only thing we can do now is to help the people in the residence detoxify first!"
She was also worried that the walls might have ears.
Perhaps, she should find a ti to let Chu Yu and Duan Qing et privately.
If Chu Yu had that intention, she would naturally be willing to help him make connections and amass strength.
After all, this was her sister Ruan. During her first appearance in the Zhuangyong Marquis Residence, when a group of young ladies sized her up, Ruan was the first to hold her hand.
The Duan Family had wealth, and Duan Qing was capable. If Chu Yu could win over Duan Qing, it would be a powerful boost.
Ruan Wanrong quickly nodded, "Look at , rambling on senselessly!"
Yun Jinnian smiled and took Ruan Wanrong’s hand, writing ’wait’ in her palm, then touched her own ear.
Ruan Wanrong, being clever, imdiately understood Yun Jinnian’s aning.
And she soon ca to a realization.
If soone could covertly render all the Duan Family sons infertile, and no investigation could uncover it, it ant the culprit was deeply hidden.
Perhaps the walls had ears, and her every move was under surveillance.
Indeed, she had been thoughtless; she never used to be careful in her speech and actions,
If that was the case for her, the sa went for the other branches of the family.
They had to split the family quickly. Once divided, each would lead their own lives, and if sothing happened, they wouldn’t all be caught in the sa net.
"Sister Ruan, let’s go over!"
"Okay!"
Taking Yun Jinnian’s hand to help her up, Ruan Wanrong went to carry Yun Jinnian’s dicine box.
Yun Jinnian carried it herself, "This dicine box isn’t heavy!"
Seeing Yun Jinnian carry it on her own, Ruan Wanrong did not insist and accompanied Yun Jinnian to the flower hall with a smile.
There, the sons of the Duan Family had been waiting for a while.
Even those who had gone out in the morning, upon hearing the ssage that Yun Jinnian would visit the Duan Residence in the afternoon, had called them back early.
Each one, older or younger than Yun Jinnian, greeted her with a respectful fist and palm salute, "Fourth Miss!"
Yun Jinnian bowed slightly, her voice serene, "Prepare so wet towels for , as well as brushes, ink, paper, and inkstone!"
Once everything was ready, Yun Jinnian then spoke, "Let’s begin then!"
Traders are sharp, and the n of the Duan Family even more so.
One after another, they let Duan Qing go first, each knowing the reason in their hearts.
Because of Ruan Wanrong’s relationship, Yun Jinnian was bound to treat Duan Qing differently, and she would be ticulous. They were all poisoned, just to varying degrees. If Duan Qing’s poison were cured, their hopes would be greatly uplifted.
This ti, the matrons of each branch were unanimous, each one calm and composed, clutching their handkerchiefs and standing aside, their eyes filled with hope, anxiously watching Yun Jinnian.
Duan Qing sat opposite Yun Jinnian, rolled up his sleeves, exposing his sturdy wrist, and placed it on the pillow for pulse diagnosis.
Yun Jinnian slowly wiped her hands before taking Duan Qing’s pulse.
Just a mont later, Yun Jinnian’s brows furrowed slightly.
Duan Qing sat in silence, while Ruan Wanrong’s heart raced, not daring to breathe loud.
Yun Jinnian withdrew her hand, "Next, let take a look at soone else!"
Uncertain, but unwilling to conclude definitively, she thought.
Duan Qing stood up, casually indicated a brother, and as Yun Jinnian carefully examined the pulse, her brow furrowed once again.
"Next one!"
After examining several in succession, Yun Jinnian finally spoke, "In addition to the poison you were first afflicted with, you have been poisoned with another substance. The two poisons complent and counteract each other. Most importantly, each of you has been poisoned differently, the antidotes vary accordingly, and the required dicines are nurous and mostly rare!"
