The Fourth Lady

Chapter 81 Yaoyao is Poisoned II

Fengqing knew how much Qingyan cared for that little fox. After he disappeared in front of Qingyan, he

quickly found Murong Jingxuan and Chonglou.

When Chonglou saw the little fox in Qingyan's arm, he could only reluctantly look at it. After all, he

usually only treats people. Although he understood the situation of animals very well, it didn't mean that

he liked these small animals.

But to save face for Murong Jingxuan, he needed to help in this matter no matter what.

"Chonglou, do you know what Yaoyao is poisoned with?" Qingyan looked to him and impatiently asked.

Yaoyao usually doesn't like to eat other things, but as to a chicken a day, they were still able to provide

it. That's why Yaoyao's meal everyday was only a chicken. These chickens were also raised in Su

manor's yard, and because it was also used for people's food, she never thought it would be a big

problem.

And now something like this occurred; this was clearly evident that someone wanted to make life

difficult for Qingyan, or rather had a grudge against the Su manor.

In this entire Su manor, aside from Ning Siyao and Chai Yiyun, who else saw her as a thorn? Deng Yan

was on her side, and Chai Yiyun didn't plan on doing anything recently. As for Ning Siyao, she should

already be busy with Su Qingyuan's matter at hand.

For someone to do something like this, could it be the second house's concubine---Jiang Mengrou?

"Miss, Yaoyao should be fine for now. Luckily, it only ingested a bit of arsenic. But how did it get

poisoned with arsenic." Chonglou looked to Su Qingyan with a confused look, hoping she could give an

explanation. But at the moment, Qingyan really was too hungry and didn't know how to explain.

Qingyan looked to Chonglou and shook her head, "Yaoyao only eats one chicken a day, I'm afraid the

problem lies in the chicken."

When Chonglou turned to him, Murong Jingxuan nodded in response, "Yan'er, those so called chickens

are the ones raised in the backyard?"

Listening to Murong Jingxuan's words, Qingyan nodded, "Huangcen, take Chonglou to the backyard

and see if you can find anything." She turned to Huangcen standing in front of her and instructed. Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

Huangcen glanced to Chonglou, before taking him to the backyard. Qingyan's eye lingered on

Yaoyao's body.

Murong Jingxuan saw Qingyan's look and grasped her hand, "Don't worry, Yaoyao will be fine."

She turned her eyes to the young man before her, shaking her head, "That's not the case, I keep

feeling that they've come with ill intentions."

Murong Jingxuan looked to Qingyan and smiled, "Right now, who would still try to attack you? Ning

Siyao or Jiang Mengrou?"

"Not completely true." Qingyan calmly replied, "Deng yiniang ultimately is on my side, so she shouldn't

harm me. That's why the only candidate I can think of should be Jiang yiniang."

When he thought of Jiang Mengrou, Murong Jingxuan frowned, "Speaking of this Jiang Mengrou, I

can't seem to find anything relating to her past. This woman is very mysterious, furthermore last time

when your poisoning was mentioned, she seemed to know something."

Qingyan listened to Murong Jingxuan's words, suddenly looking up to him, "Are you saying Jiang

Mengrou knows about me being poisoned."

Murong Jingxuan looked to her and seriously nodded, "That's why I find it strange. Isn't she just Su

Ming's mistress, but regarding her past, I can't find anything. It's possible that her origins are unknown."

"Seems I've really overlooked this." Qingyan faced Murong Jingxuan with a contemplating look, "Looks

like this Jiang Mengrou has some tricks up her sleeves."

Murong Jingxuan smiled at Qingyan. And just when he wanted to say something, Chonglou walked into

the room.

He looked to the two of them and said, "Master, young miss, I've investigated the matter. There's added

arsenic in a batch of chicken feed, and that batch of chickens just happened to all be for your

Yingshuang yard."

"Has it been verified?" Before Qingyan could even speak, Murong Jingxuan's sudden cold voice

sounded. That appearance looked as if he as going to crush Chonglou.

Chonglou turned to him and nodded in seriousness, "Situation has been confirmed. But according to

my observations, for the time being, these chickens should have eaten two days worth of arsenic. As

for why the small fox was poisoned, it's probably because a fox's biology is different from that of a

human's."

Qingyan looked to Huangcen while still half lost in thought, "Huangcen, do you know who's in charge of

feeding these chickens?"

Huangcen glanced to Qingyan and replied with smile, "Those chickens are fed by a backyard granny.

However, I heard that recently that granny has been unwell, seems to be sick with a cold. As of now,

they're fed by a girl, I hear she's that granny's niece."

Although Qingyan wasn't too clear about this matter, for the most part, she understood that this was

Jiang Mengrou preparing to attack with her. She had mostly thought that those chickens were used for

their meals, yet she forgot that Yaoyao also needed to eat one everyday.

Thus, Yaoyao getting poisoned actually let the situation expose itself.

Else, how would a small amount of arsenic kill a person?

"Miss, what do you want to do now?" Huangcen, seeing Qingyan's expression changed, quietly asked.

Qingyan turned to Murong Jingxuan, softly parting her red lips, "Jingxuan, why don't you go back first. I

need to take care of this matter myself."

Murong Jingxuan slowly let go of her hand, "If anything comes up, remember to have Fengqing come

find me."

Qingyan looked to him and nodded, "Don't worry, I'll definitely go find you."

Murong Jingxuan took Chonglou with him and left, jumping over the walls. But in that moment, he felt a

pair of eyes staring into him. However, when he turned to look, he couldn't find anything there, only the

dense tree leaves.

"Miss, do you need me to call that girl over?" Zizhu looked to the absentminded Qingyan and asked.

Qingyan shook her head, "No need, we can personally go there ourselves."

Though she said she was going to go herself, Qingyan still changed into Huangcen's appearance with

Baizhi's help. Usually, only Huangcen can go fetch those ingredients in the backyard.

And the one that went with her was Qingdai.

"Miss, why did you change into Huangcen's identity to come investigate?" Qingdai asked in a soft

whisper.

Qingyan looked to her and smiled, "When this matter is settled, I'll tell you." With that said, she pulled

Qingdai's arm and headed to the backyard.

"Oh my, isn't this the fourth miss's Huangcen? How come you're here again today? Don't tell me your

miss only eats meat."

Qingyan turned her head towards the voice and saw it was Jiang Mengrou's servant, Liangchen. And

that mocking tone of hers made Qingyan smile, seems like her guess was mostly correct.

Jiang Mengrou, since you want to challenge me, then it seems it shouldn't be a problem if I send you a

little gift.

But just what should I send as a gift?
