"Please use the access to this site." Qian Guagu knew that Nie Bowen was trying to find out about Ye Zhuo's condition, whether it was really because of eating Nie Weiyue's laxative medicine. He didn't distrust the doctor invited by Du Wang, but he was harboring a glimmer of hope, wanting to find some evidence to refute Du Haoran and prevent him from moving out of the Nie residence. So he responded with a sound, following Lin Daifu and Zihong into the second gate, heading towards Yingfengyuan.

  After a while, Qian's wife followed Lin Daifu out.

  "How is it?" Nie Bowen asked Lin Daifu.

  Mr. Lin bowed and lowered his head, muttering to himself, seemingly unsure of how to begin. Although he was over 50 years old, he usually only treated the maidservants and rarely interacted with the masters of the Nie estate, so he didn't know how to respond to this situation. The big house had such a scandalous affair, and Mr. Lin didn't know whether Master Nie wanted to cover it up or tell the truth. Before leaving, he asked Qian Mama, but she couldn't guess Master Nie's intentions either and didn't dare make any decisions for him. At this point, Mr. Lin was at a loss, afraid that one misstep would displease Master Nie, and if things went badly, it could be disastrous.

  Nie Bowen saw Lin Dafu not making a sound, his forehead was covered in sweat, and he also understood his thoughts. He opened his mouth and said: "Speak the truth."

  Mr. Lin, as if he had been granted a great amnesty, wiped the sweat from his brow and bowed: "The young lady's every dish was poisoned with croton seeds, so she has been suffering from severe abdominal pain and diarrhea. However, before I went in, a doctor had examined her, treated her with acupuncture, and had a maid brew medicine for her to drink, and now there is no danger to her life."

  "What's worrying you?" Nie Bao Wen furrowed his brow, glanced at Nie Wei Yue, and asked again. "Can this croton be eaten to death?"

  "If the amount of croton is small, it will only cause diarrhea, and people with good physical condition can recover after a short rest. But if the amount is large, it can be fatal. The person who poisoned this time either didn't understand or wanted to kill that girl. They were afraid that the amount was not enough, so they put a lot of croton juice in every dish. Plus, that girl ate a lot of each dish, so the situation was still quite serious. If the delay was too long, it would be hard to avoid worrying about her life. Fortunately, the doctor handled it in time, otherwise, even if she recovered, she might need to rest for several months to recover."

  Nie Bao-wen listened, glanced at Nie Feng. Nie Feng then took out a silver ingot weighing about ten taels and stuffed it into Lin's hand, saying: "This is just a contradiction between the concubines in the mansion, wanting to use this trick to frame someone. It's better to keep such things confidential. You can rot in your heart, don't spread it out."

  "Yes, yes, I understand, I understand." Lin Daifu repeatedly responded. Holding the silver ingot, he knelt down and kowtowed to Nie Bowen, then was led out by a servant.

  Nie Bowen then turned his gaze towards Qian Popo.

  "Master, Ye's complexion is deathly pale and she can't even stand up straight. She's on the verge of collapse and it's quite frightening to look at her. It doesn't seem like she's pretending."

  Nie Bowen's face turned iron-green as he looked at Nie Wei Yue. He remained silent for a long time, seemingly trying to control his temper. After a while, he asked in a low voice, "What about the food? Did you plan to tell everyone that you were the one who poisoned it from the start?"

  Nie Wei Yue was startled by Nie Bo Wen's face and shrank her neck, whispering: "No..."

  Nie Bowen looked at Nie Wei Yue's still confused expression, seemingly still unclear where she had gone wrong, he silently raised his head and let out a long sigh.

  In households like theirs, the backyard is always a place of endless struggle. They would use some unscrupulous means, not only without any qualms but even with encouragement from their elders to learn and master them. In Nie Bowen's opinion, drugging someone was no big deal, but after doing so, one must first clean up thoroughly and leave no evidence or handles for others to grasp. For instance, after serving the drugged food to Ye Zhuo today, they should have sent a trusted person to take it away instead of leaving it there for anyone to inspect. With solid evidence, even if you refused to admit it, they could still dig up the truth and expose you. Secondly, even with solid evidence, one must never admit to doing anything wrong. In big families like theirs, everyone had to save face for each other. If you didn't admit it, even if the other party knew the truth, they would let it go for the sake of family harmony unless they wanted to tear each other apart and reach a point of no return. Just like today's incident, if Nie Wei Yue refused to admit it, Du Haoran would have nowhere to vent his anger, and Ye Zhuo could only blame himself for eating the wrong thing. At most, they would just punish a servant, beat them up a few times, and say that they accidentally tainted the food.

  Like Nie Weiyue, doing something wrong and taking the blame before others even ask, such a fool will die without anyone knowing after getting married.

  Of course, Nie Bowen would never know that the Ye Zhuo faced by Nie Wei Yue was not someone who didn't understand anything from a small family. Even if Nie Wei Yue sent people to take away the food, it would be impossible to succeed. Since Ye Zhuo knew there was a problem with the food, how could he let them destroy the evidence?

  Nie Bowen was extremely angry with his sister, but he still had to go to Du Haoran's place in time to comfort him. If not, it would be a big trouble if he really let him move out. He instructed Qian Hua: "Take the girl back to the yard and take care of her, don't let her run around." After finishing speaking, he hastily went out of the second gate and headed to the Bamboo Courtyard.

  Qian Gu saw Nie Wei Yue still wanting to follow, and pulled her back: "My aunt, you'd better calm down. If you go with him, and clash with Du Gongzi again in words, even if the eldest young master grew ten tongues, he wouldn't be able to persuade Du Gongzi. Let's just head back first. Don't worry, you also know Du Gongzi's temperament, normally he's too lazy to even speak, directly ordering Du Wang and them to move house. But today, look at him, earlier he was unusually talking to you, listening to your explanation, this is a good sign! So, let's head back and wait patiently."

  "Really? Nanny, really?" Ni Weiyue's eyes lit up as soon as she heard Qian's words, and a smile bloomed on her face like a flower. "It's true indeed. Normally, Brother Du wouldn't bother with me if he didn't have to, but today, he actually stopped and listened patiently to my explanation. It shows that in his heart, he still has feelings for me. At least when it comes to moving house, even though he said it out loud to scare people, deep down he doesn't want to move out."

  Seeing Nian Wei Yue's excited expression, Qian Mama secretly sighed and said: "So, miss, don't worry about Master Du for now, let's go back and think about how to deal with Madame's and the young master's punishment first."

  Nie Weiyue's face suddenly fell, and she pouted: "Fine, let's go back."

  And not to mention the two wives at the second gate, who had been discussing this play without stopping. In the Wind Welcome Courtyard, Autumn Moon was serving Ye Zhuo medicine and couldn't help but shed tears again as she looked at her pale face lying in bed.

  "I'm fine, don't worry. This illness looks serious but it's actually nothing, I've got everything under control." Ye Zhuo weakly comforted, hearing the sobbing sound.

  "You're saying it's nothing, but didn't the doctor just say that if they had come any later, you wouldn't have even been able to save your life?" Qiu Yue said with a thick nasal tone.

  Ye Zhuo opened her eyes and looked at her, smiled slightly, but didn't say anything else. What she said wasn't meant to comfort Qiu Yue. In her past life, before getting married, she spent all day watching the concubines in the mansion fight openly and secretly for favor. She had seen many cases of poisoning. Moreover, in her previous life, she also studied medicine, although she hadn't treated anyone's illness, but she understood medical principles. The situation earlier looked dangerous, but she knew a few emergency rescue methods. If the doctor didn't arrive soon, she would naturally take care of herself and wouldn't lose her life.

  However, there was one thing she miscalculated. She had no grudges against Nie Weiyue, and she really didn't expect Nie Weiyue to be so ruthless, putting so many beans in the dish. Otherwise, she wouldn't have eaten half of that dish either. Having barely been reborn, she hadn't lived enough this lifetime yet, and naturally wouldn't risk her own life.

  "Miss, you almost lost your life this time. This time we propose to go home, the Nie family should not disagree, right?" Qiu Yue looked at Ye Zhuo with red eyes full of hope.

  Ye Zhuo closed his eyes and lay there: "Think about it yourself, can the Nie family agree?"

  Autumn Moon thought for a moment, then let out a heavy sigh. After something like this happened, the first thing the Nie family had to do was to comfort Ye Zhuo. Probably not long after, Mrs. Nie would come to visit her, and then there might be a pile of gifts, or even some material compensation, such as providing raw stones directly to the Ye family's workshop, which was a condition that could make the workshop owners in Nanshan Town laugh with joy at midnight. The Nie family had put their attitude so low, but Ye Zhuo still wanted to make trouble and go home, Mrs. Nie would not agree to it first, her gentle smile would immediately turn into a fierce scowl, and she would never let Ye Zhuo have a good day.

  At this time, Ye Zhuo and Qiu Yue still didn't know about the words Du Haoran had said. If he could even say that he would move out of Nie's residence, then it was even more predictable how lowly Mrs. Nie would become.

  Nie Bowen rushed to the bamboo courtyard and saw Du Nian seemingly packing his things, while Du Haoran was still sitting in the recliner in the courtyard, looking up at the sky as usual. He furrowed his brow and said to Du Haoran, "You're really going to leave the Nie residence because of a woman and disregard our brotherly bond?"

  Du Haoran still lay there motionless, gazing lazily at the white clouds in the sky, his eyes not blinking: "I don't have your dirty thoughts. I want to move out, not for Miss Ye, but for myself. I'm worried that one day your sister will get impatient and poison me too. The crime of being a light and frivolous eldest miss of the Nie family, I can't bear it, I'd rather die than comply. I'm still young, I don't want to die yet. So I want to move out and avoid disaster."

  Nie Bowen was speechless.

  He knew his own sister all too well. Probably hadn't thought of the trick of drugging before, so he hadn't done it yet. This time he had an epiphany and might give Du Haoran a drug in two days. With her infatuation with Du Haoran and that impulsive personality, this possibility was really too great.

  There is still one more update tonight! (Thank you for your support, it's my biggest motivation.)
