Chapter 160 What should I have eaten that I shouldn't have eaten?
Qin Wan looked at Xiao Jingyan in front of her. His eyes turned cold and sharp, which made Qin Wan a little scared.
He was no longer the fool she knew.
Sensing Qin Wan's change, Xiao Jingyan turned to face her, a familiar smile appearing on her face.
"Wan'er, don't worry, this matter has nothing to do with us, it won't hurt you or me!"
Qin Wan nodded and said nothing more.
Xiao Jingyan wanted to go to the Ministry of Justice to investigate the truth; he had gone there in the morning.
He also met Zhang Yue, and he tried to persuade Zhang Yue to act with him, but Zhang Yue disagreed. Unexpectedly, he died that very night.
If he had agreed, perhaps he wouldn't have died so quickly.
After receiving this news, the two did not stay at Manxianglou for long before Xiao Jingyan sent Qin Wan back.
Meanwhile, inside the "Tian" room of Manxianglou.
Su Yan'er pulled the blanket over her head, constantly recalling what had just happened, wondering whether the Fourth Prince had actually come out.
Just now, while they were getting into the swing of things, for some unknown reason, Xiao Jingyu suddenly pulled up his pants and left.
Su Yan'er thought he was done, but it hadn't been that long, not even half the time she spent with Qin Lang that night.
Could it be that the Fourth Prince is impotent?
Su Yan'er was lost in thought, but he had indeed taken her virginity, so she was now his.
The child in her belly is also him.
Su Yan'er was thrilled that her plan had succeeded.
However, she was also heartbroken by Xiao Jingyu's attitude. His indifference in pulling up his pants and leaving chilled her heart and made her feel that he was a heartless and fickle person.
It was getting late, and Xiao Jingyu had already left. Although she didn't know why, Su Yan'er couldn't stay here any longer.
She hadn't felt anything unusual about her body, but the moment she got up, Su Yan'er felt a sharp pain down there.
It looked as if it had been torn apart by something.
This is probably a reaction to engaging in sexual activity before one's body has fully recovered.
Despite the excruciating pain, Su Yan'er picked up the clothes from the ground and put them on one by one.
When she left the room, most of the guests in Manxianglou had already left, and no one noticed her pale face.
As soon as I went downstairs, I heard the chatter of the other guys.
"Today was really dangerous! I almost delivered that last roast goose to the wrong place!"
"It's a good thing you reacted quickly, otherwise you would have been in big trouble if you had dined with the Fifth Prince and Miss Qin."
"Honestly, my heart is still pounding. I was the one who led the Fifth Prince and Miss Qin into room 'A', but who knew what was wrong with me at the time, that I actually took the roast goose directly to room 'C'!"
"..."
The two people's conversation reached Su Yan'er's ears, allowing her to glean some crucial information.
Xiao Jingyan and Qin Wan also came here for dinner tonight.
They won't have found out about her affair, will they?
Thinking of this, Su Yan'er broke out in a cold sweat.
Whether it was due to the pain in her body or the shock of hearing the news, Su Yan'er staggered as she walked down the last step, almost falling to the ground.
"Young lady, are you alright?"
The shop assistant, who had just been talking, rushed over in a panic.
I wanted to offer to help, but considering the difference between men and women, I ultimately withdrew my hand.
Su Yan'er's face was obscured by her veil, so the shop assistant couldn't see her. He only saw Su Yan'er wave her hand and say softly, "Thank you, I'm fine!"
After saying that, he supported himself and left the Manxiang Pavilion.
Cuizhu had been waiting outside. When she saw someone come out of Manxianglou, she glanced at them and saw that it was her mistress. So she stepped out from the shadows.
"Miss, why did you come out so quickly? Did you succeed?"
"Let's talk about it when we get back!"
......
The Ministry of Justice prison.
"Your Highness, the coroner has confirmed that Young Master Zhang did indeed die from poisoning, and the poison was in this bowl of soup!"
Xiao Jingyu glanced at the soup bowl the jailer was pointing to.
This was the prisoner's dinner. Other prisoners drank it and didn't die, but he was the only one who died. That means there was something wrong with the person who delivered the food.
"Who delivered dinner to Zhang Yue tonight?"
"It was Li Guang, but he disappeared shortly after Young Master Zhang died, and a city-wide manhunt is underway!"
Xiao Jingyu still had some doubts. Li Guang was just a jailer and should be the middleman. So who was behind him?
Who wanted Zhang Yue dead so badly?
"Has anyone come to the prison looking for Zhang Yue in the last few days?" Xiao Jingyu asked again.
The jailer pondered for a moment, then cupped his hands and replied, "Your Highness, around 9:00 AM today, the Fifth Prince came by, but he only stayed for a short while before leaving. I didn't hear what he said, but I did see him pat Young Master Zhang on the shoulder at the end!"
"Xiao Jingyan?"
"Yes, it is the Fifth Prince!"
What is he doing here?
Could it be that Zhang Yue's death was related to him?
He truly did, as Marquis Zhongyi had said, conceal his talents and collude with foreign enemies...
"Yuan Song!"
"Your subordinate is here!"
"Investigate Xiao Jingyan. I need to know who he's connected with and what he's been up to in secret!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will give the order immediately!"
The jailer dared not interrupt, but spoke again when he heard the two fall silent.
"Your Highness, if Marquis Zhongyi comes to claim Young Master Zhang's body, then..."
"This is his son, of course he should be given to him. You don't expect him to take him home, do you?" Xiao Jingyu rolled her eyes.
"No, no, no, I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare!"
......
The next morning.
After dressing up, Qin Wan left Wanyue Courtyard without having breakfast, as she was going to pay her respects to her grandmother.
She sent someone yesterday to inform Madam Qin that she would be having breakfast with her grandmother today.
But as soon as she stepped out of the courtyard, she saw a repulsive figure.
"Fourth sister, are you going to pay your respects to the old lady?" Su Yan'er asked knowingly.
She had been waiting for Qin Wan for a while. She knocked on the door of Wanyue Courtyard, but the servants wouldn't let her in, so she had to wait again. Fortunately, Qin Wan finally arrived.
Qin Wan glanced at her and feigned surprise, saying, "Sister Yan'er, what's wrong with you? You look so pale and much older!"
Su Yan'er instinctively covered her face, constantly touching the skin on her cheeks.
"Really? Maybe you didn't get enough rest last night!"
Su Yan'er's heart trembled. When she woke up today, she noticed that her complexion was not good, but she did not expect it to be so obvious.
Qin Wan leaned forward and examined her closely, asking, "What did you do yesterday, Yan'er? You look so tired. What's that mark on your neck?"
As she spoke, Qin Wan reached out to pull open Su Yan'er's clothes around her neck. The half-hidden hickeys made it hard to tell what she had done the night before.
Su Yan'er froze, then instinctively scratched herself. "I think I ate something I shouldn't have yesterday, that's why I have a rash!"
Qin Wan sneered and deliberately asked, "What shouldn't you have eaten?"
