"You ask me, who should I ask?" Another woman was also full of curiosity, "Master Du is not polite to any girl, but now he goes to the Wind Welcome Courtyard, could it be that he has taken a liking to Miss Ye?" Then she made a series of "tsk" sounds and lowered her voice, saying, "However, that Miss Ye is really beautiful. More beautiful than all the girls in our Nie family." Could it be that Master and Mistress think the girls in our Nie family are not good enough, so they want to take in such a beautiful apprentice to tie down Master Du?"

  "It's highly likely." Another woman nodded, "However, Master Du's expression doesn't seem right. Qiuyue was crying when she ran to the Bamboo Courtyard earlier. What exactly happened in the Wind Welcome Courtyard?"

  The two old women stopped talking and stretched their necks to look out towards the entrance of the Wind Welcome Courtyard.

  Only to see Du Haoran walk to the entrance of Yingfengyuan, he didn't go in, but stood at the door and paced back and forth, occasionally raising his head to look over here towards the second gate. Anyone could tell that he was waiting for someone, and he was very anxious.

  Ning Wei Yue gave Ye Zhuo medicine, but it was just a momentary impulse, thinking that she would let Ye Zhuo pull her stomach a few times, punish her and that's all, without taking it seriously at all, and didn't think about the possibility of losing her life - even if she did lose Ye Zhuo's life, in her opinion, it wasn't a big deal. After all, Ye Zhuo hadn't given Ning Wei Yue's father a courtesy visit yet, so she couldn't be considered a disciple of the Ning family. With their power and influence, killing one or two people from humble backgrounds was really no big deal. So she gave her orders to the servants and then acted as if nothing had happened, without paying any more attention to Ye Zhuo, nor did she send anyone to guard the entrance of the Wind Welcome Courtyard to watch for any movement.

  On the contrary, Du Haoran is someone she likes and cares about. So all along, she has arranged for people to pay attention to the entrance of the Bamboo Courtyard at all times, just so that when Du Haoran goes out, she can get the news in the first time and follow up in time. Autumn Moon cried into the Bamboo Courtyard. Then Du Haoran also came out of the Bamboo Courtyard and went to the Wind Welcome Courtyard, and the news was transmitted to Nie Weiyue's ears in no time. It made her smash the teacup in her hand fiercely, and then she ran out angrily with her skirt lifted up.

  "Miss..." Qian Aunty was shocked by those words and chased after Nie Wei Yue, asking "What did you do to Ye Miss?"

  Nie Weiyue never liked Qian Nainai constantly nagging in her ear, so she didn't let her know about the medicine this time. Now that she was furious and only thinking about Du Haoran's reaction, she even less wanted to deal with Qian Nainai. Her feet moved quickly as she walked away.

  A group of people soon arrived near the Wind Welcome Courtyard, and from a distance they saw Du Wang holding an old doctor under his arm rushing in from the second gate. Du Haoran instructed the old doctor with two sentences, cupped his hands, while Du Wang remained standing silently outside the courtyard door with Du Haoran.

  Nie Weiyue stopped in her tracks and stood there looking at Du Haoran's tall and straight figure, two lines of tears rolling down from the corners of her eyes.

  Qian's wife panted and followed, seeing this scene, sighed, and didn't say another word.

  After a while, the old doctor came out of the yard and said a few words to Du Haoran. He was still sent away by Du Wang. Du Haoran raised his head and glanced in Nie Weiyue's direction before walking over with big strides.

  "Is the medicine yours?" he asked in a low voice, staring at Nie Weiyue.

  Nie Weiyue had already wiped away her tears, lifted her chin and looked back at Du Haoran with a stubborn expression: "It was me who did it, what do you want to do about it?"

  Qian Aunty was stroking her forehead from behind. My silly girl. Even if you were the one who poisoned him, you can't admit it now! Now it's even better, self-incrimination.

  Du Haoran's eyes stared at Nie Weiyue, and Nie Weiyue was not to be outdone, staring straight into his eyes, locking gazes with him.

  "Alright." Du Haoran nodded, withdrew his gaze and turned to leave.

  "Wait." Nie Weiyue caught up with two steps and rushed towards Du Haoran's back, saying, "What do you mean by this?"

  Du Haoran stopped in his tracks, turned around and looked at Nie Weiyue: "What do you mean? Do you know that poisoning can also kill people? If the doctor had come a little later, Ye's life would have been lost in your hands. Of course, I suppose in your eyes, we commoners are like ants, and if we die, it's no big deal, just give us a hundred or two taels of silver for burial expenses and that's the end of it. The deceased's relatives may be resentful, but they wouldn't dare speak out, so everything would remain peaceful, your life wouldn't be affected in the slightest. So, great, I didn't understand before, but now I do. To prevent being poisoned and plotted against one day, I'll move out of Nie Manor, if I can't fight back, I can at least avoid it."

  Having said that, he turned around and was about to leave.

  Nie Weiyue's face turned red with rage, and she rushed up to grab his sleeve, shouting: "You're talking nonsense! You're talking nonsense! I only gave her a little bit of medicine, just enough to make her have diarrhea twice, how could it be as serious as you said? You didn't even see her yourself, how do you know she's seriously ill? What if she bribed the doctor with silver and he lied? What does it mean that you're spouting nonsense without distinguishing right from wrong? And what about you, can you compare to her? She's a scourge! Because of her, now everyone in Nan Shan town is saying that our Nie family's jade carving skills are no good. Our Nie family's reputation has been ruined by her hands, and I'm punishing her, what's wrong with that?"

  "The coldness in Du Haoran's eyes grew thicker: 'So, Miss Nie is only sorry because she killed someone with poison? This poisoning, a matter of life and death, can also be played with? Moreover, Ye Niang and Nie Boyi were competing in skills when I was present. Clearly, it was Nie Boyi who was provoked by others, wanting to gain fame in front of the young master, so he forced Ye Niang to compete with him. After losing, he was still resentful. How did it become Ye Niang harming the Nie family? If that's really the case, shouldn't your father and brother be the ones to take charge? Would you dare do this if she came from a noble background?'"

  Wei Yue saw Du Haoran was about to leave, and with a sobbing tone, she called out: "Du brother, what is your relationship with her? Haven't we treated you well enough all these years? Why do you have to blame me for the sake of such a woman and move away from our home? Do you despise us that much in your eyes? If you don't explain clearly today, then don't think about leaving this place!"

  "What's going on?" A familiar voice rang out from a distance. Du Haoran and Nie Weiyue turned their heads to look, only to see Nie Bowen walking in with big strides from the second gate, still wearing his cloak, clearly having just returned from Nanshan Town.

  Nie Bowen looked at Du Haoran, his eyebrows furrowed: "What I heard from Wei Yue's words is that you want to move out of the Nie Manor?"

  Du Haoran didn't respond and didn't even glance at Nie Bowen. He pulled his sleeve out of Nie Wei Yue's hand and turned to leave.

  "Hey, speak clearly, what's going on?" Nie Bowen shouted at his back, watching as he disappeared into the second gate, grinding his teeth, "This stinky temper!"

  Then he turned his head and asked Nie Weiyue: "What's going on? Hurry up and explain. When Father comes back and finds out you drove Du Haoran away, see if he doesn't flay you alive."

  "I... " Nie Wei Yue had always been a little afraid of Nie Bo Wen, and now that he asked, she lowered her head, twisting the handkerchief in her hands, and stuttered out the whole story. She was worried that Du Hao Ran would really leave the Nie residence, and didn't dare to hide anything, even repeating what Du Hao Ran had said earlier.

  Nie Bowen knew that Nie Weiyue had given Ye Zhuo medicine, and he was quite resentful: "You... what can I say is good about you?!" After finishing speaking, he glared at her fiercely and turned to leave. However, as he walked to the second gate, a maid suddenly rushed in and almost collided with him.

  Nie Bowen hadn't even opened his mouth to speak when Nie Feng behind him couldn't help but scold, "How are you walking?"

  The maid saw clearly that she almost bumped into Nie Bowen and was so frightened that she retreated several steps: "I, I'm sorry, Young Master."

  Nie Bowen saw that the doctor who usually treated the servant girls was following her, and knew that one of the servants had fallen ill. This servant girl's anxiety was understandable, so he nodded slightly and started to walk away. But after taking two steps, he stopped again, turned his head and asked: "Who fell ill?"

  "It's Ye Jie from Yingfengyuan." The maid had no choice but to stop in her tracks and bow to respond.

  "Miss Ye?" Nie Bowen's body also turned around, sizing up the doctor with a furrowed brow, "Why didn't you call for Dr. Zhang?" Dr. Zhang was a famous doctor in Nanyun City, living near the Nie residence, and specialized in treating the masters of the Nie family.

  "Yeh's daughter fell ill, and the servant girl reported it to the housekeeper. The housekeeper said that Yeh's daughter had not yet performed the ceremony of becoming a disciple to the old master, so she couldn't be considered the mistress of the household. Moreover, stomach pain wasn't a serious illness, and there was a chance she would recover before the doctor arrived. Therefore, only Lin Daifu was summoned."

  Nie Bowen then shifted his gaze onto Nie Wei Yue who was following closely behind him after exiting the second gate.

  Mrs. Nie was very clever and capable, and the Nie residence was well-managed under her care. Even though Ye Zhuo had not yet paid respects to Nie Zhongkun as his master, she had moved in with the status of a personally transmitted disciple, and paying respects would be a matter of time. If it weren't for the master's orders, even if the housekeeper's courage was great, she wouldn't have dared to take the initiative to invite Dr. Lin to come and treat Ye Zhuo's illness.

  So who wants to humiliate Ye Zhuo and treat her as an inferior? Ye Zhuo has only been in the mansion for half a day, and those who don't get along with her are just Nie Boyi and Nie Weiyue. Nie Boyi may have that heart, but he doesn't have the guts, and he can't even order those servant girls around. Apart from him, there's only Nie Weiyue left.

  "In fact, Dr. Lin's medical skills are also quite good." Nie Wei Yue saw her brother's gaze fall on herself and shrunk her neck slightly, saying softly.

  Nie Bowen ignored her and turned to Lin Daifu, bowing his head: "Please follow this girl to see a patient, and take the opportunity to see how she got sick." After finishing, he glanced at Nie Wei Yue's back and pointed at Qian Niangniang, saying: "Qian Niangniang, you go in with him and take a look."
