Reborn as the spoiled male wife of the mortal enemy

Chapter 54 The oriole is behind

Back in the house, Lu He was so excited at the thought of something good coming. She covered her pounding chest and took out the beautiful little dress that Liu's mother had given her from the closet.

She changed her clothes carefully, picked up a wooden comb from the dressing table, and slowly combed her long hair. Her long hair cascaded down her shoulders, with a few strands of hair falling in front of her forehead, adding a touch of gentleness and tenderness to her.

The rouge and powder on the dressing table were rare Western goods, given to her by Liu's mother. She lovingly took out some and dabbed it on her cheeks, then lightly applied rouge to both cheeks.

After finishing her makeup, she stepped back and carefully examined herself in the bronze mirror. Her eyes were like rippling autumn water, and her cheeks were flushed, like peach blossoms blooming in spring.

Just like what Mrs. Liu said, her appearance and temperament are worthy of such beautiful clothes.

Naturally, she is worthy of the position of the second young lady.

"Second Young Master, Second Young Master..."

Lu He stood outside the study and knocked on the door a few times, but no one answered.

Lu He had a happy look on her face and thought: The medicine must be working.

She pushed the door open and saw that Bai Xun was indeed sleeping soundly on the table.

"Second Young Master..."

She tiptoed over and suddenly felt a gust of wind behind her ear, followed by a pain in her neck, and then she lost consciousness.

A masked man appeared from behind Lu He, picked her up, walked out of the study, and went straight to the bedroom.

Nanchun was sleeping soundly in the bedroom. The man used the moonlight coming through the window to gently place Luhe next to Nanchun.

In the study, Bai Xun was still sleeping on the table.

The masked man dragged Bai Xun to the couch beside him, seemingly worried. He patted Bai Xun's face to make sure he was still awake before leaving the study quietly.

Mother Liu stood at the back door of the courtyard, looking anxiously in the direction of Jingyuan. Seeing someone walking quickly towards her, she hurried forward to greet them.

"how?"

"It's done. The Second Young Master was sleeping soundly. I put him on the couch and he didn't wake up. I've also arranged for Lu He and the Second Young Mistress in the bedroom."

Only then did Mother Liu breathe a sigh of relief.

She hurriedly said, "Okay, you go to Jingyuan and guard it. Don't let any strangers get close and ruin our good things."

"Yes."

When Mother Liu saw that everyone had left, she turned around and went back into the house.

"Madam, Miss, it's done. The Second Young Master is asleep on the couch in the study, unconscious. Lu He's little hoof has also been sent to the Second Young Madam's bed."

Xu Huiling nodded and said, "Yiren, when you go over there, make sure the night watchman sees you two and lets him know that you two went to Jingyuan together.

Mei'er, when you come back to report the news, you must let the night watchman see you and let him know that something happened to the young lady. That's why you ran out to report the news. Do you understand?"

Wu Yiren's cheeks turned slightly red and she nodded excitedly.

The night watchman at the old house met Wu Yiren carrying a lunch box and Mei'er holding a lantern.

"Miss, it's so late, where are you going?"

"Oh, I'm going to bring soup to my second cousin. The housekeeper said that he has to check the accounts all night long. It's quite tiring." Wu Yiren said with a smile on her face.

"My cousin is really thoughtful."

"Let us take you there. Watch your step as it gets dark."

The two night patrolmen sent Wu Yiren and Mei'er to Jingyuan and left.

Wu Yiren stood at the door of the study, very nervous.

Mei'er said softly, "Miss, didn't Madam Liu say that the person has been drugged?"

"Maybe he's awake by now?" Wu Yiren hesitated for a moment, knocked on the door, and said softly, "Brother Xun, I'm here to bring you some soup."

Seeing that no one responded from inside the room, Wu Yiren finally felt relieved and pushed the door open.

There was a person lying on the couch facing inward.

Wu Yiren didn't dare to go closer, and tentatively called out twice: "Looking for brother, looking for brother..."

The person on the couch remained motionless and unresponsive.

Wu Yiren breathed a sigh of relief, turned to Mei'er and said, "Mei'er, go call someone!"

Mei'er agreed, holding the lantern, and trotted out of Jingyuan.

On the way, I met the two night patrolmen again.

The night watchman saw her anxious expression and asked hurriedly, "Miss Mei'er, what happened?"

Mei'er's eyes flickered and she bit her lip, looking embarrassed.

"Where's my cousin?"

"Did something happen to my cousin?"

Mei'er hesitated and said, "My cousin is in the Second Young Master's study... Two people, two people... Oh! How can a girl like me say this with such nerve! This matter... This matter needs to be decided by the head of the family and the old lady..."

After saying that, she covered her face and ran away.

The two night patrolmen looked at each other in confusion.

"Second Young Master and Cousin..."

"No way!"

“Never mind if it happens or not!

"We've already met. If we don't care, if something happens later, we won't be able to escape responsibility. Didn't Miss Mei'er say that we have to consult the head of the family and the old lady to make the decision?"

"Yes, let's go find the head of the family and the old lady."

Wu Yiren closed the door. Just as she was about to turn around, the lights in the room went out and everything was pitch black.

She was already feeling guilty, and suddenly everything went dark before her eyes, frightening her so much that her legs went weak and she almost collapsed to the ground.

She leaned against the door and slowed down.

Time was running out and she couldn't afford to delay any longer.

She patted her chest which was beating wildly, took out a bottle of wine from the lunch box, and walked towards the couch in the dark.

Mei'er trotted back to the yard.

"What happened?" Mother Liu asked hurriedly.

Mei'er nodded vigorously and panted as she said, "The young lady has already gone in, and the second young master is lying on the couch. I met the night watchmen on the way, and after I finished talking to them, I watched them go to the main courtyard."

Xu Huiling's face lit up with joy. She said, "Great! Let's go. Let's make some noise along the way so everyone in the house can hear us!"

Main house.

Bai Yishui was still in the study, not resting.

After hearing what the night watchman said, Baishan hurried over to report.

"Master, the night watchman Hu Zi came to report that Mei'er, the maidservant beside the cousin, came out of Jingyuan in a hurry. It seems that something happened between the second young master and the cousin."

The brush in Bai Yishui's hand paused for a moment, and a blob of ink slowly spread on the paper.

"Why is she in Jingyuan in the middle of the night?"

"He said he was going to deliver ginseng soup to the Second Young Master."

Bai Yishui frowned and said nothing.

Just then, there was a sound of chaotic footsteps outside.

"Master of the house, master of the house..."

It was the voice of Mrs. Bai.

Bai Yishui put down the pen in his hand and sighed heavily.

"She's well-informed."

As soon as she finished speaking, Mrs. Bai came into the room.

"Master, Dayong, the night watchman, came to report that Yiren had an accident in Xuneryuan."

Bai Yishui asked, "Why is she, a young girl, running to Baixun's courtyard in the middle of the night instead of sleeping in her own room?"

Mrs. Bai was slightly startled, and said uncomfortably, "Let's forget about this for now! We have to go and see what happened. Dayong said that Yiren's maid Mei'er looked like she had lost her soul... I'm afraid it's not a small matter!"

Bai Yishui sighed softly and said, "Let's go and take a look."
