Chapter 183 No way, the poison has already been administered?
He Yueyin, who was sitting to the side, immediately turned to look at him and walked over with concern, asking, "Husband, it's so late. Why don't we stop watching and go to bed to rest?"
Ren Muchen looked up at his pocket watch and realized that it was indeed getting late.
He smiled apologetically at his wife and replied gently, "Yueyin, go to sleep first, don't worry about me. I'll read this medical book a little longer, I'll finish it soon."
Today I have a tricky patient. This illness is very unusual, and I need to consult my medical books to confirm it…”
Go home now, don't stay up all night with me, or you'll have dark circles under your eyes again tomorrow.
He Yueyin looked helpless: "To you, are all patients important?"
"To me, they may just be strangers, but for patients who come to see a doctor, this may be the most important hurdle in their lives."
The better prepared I am, the greater their chances of recovery, and the better they will recover.
I know, but it hurts my heart to see you like this.
Ren Muchen reached out and took He Yueyin's hand, feeling a warm feeling in his heart.
He was very fortunate to have met Aunt Jiang from the Shen family; otherwise, he would have almost missed out on his wife.
Everyone says she's spoiled and that she's just a rich girl from a good family. They say she wouldn't be good enough for me if it weren't for her father.
But only he knew that she was not only a warm harbor for him, but also his motivation when he was tired.
Because of her, he can always quickly recover his energy and enter his busy daily state in the best possible condition.
"Okay, I'll relax properly once I'm done with this busy period. Don't you have an appointment with Madam Shen tomorrow?"
Go to bed early, have fun tomorrow, and then I'll come back and tell you all the fun things I did.
I want to sleep with you~
He Yueyin hugged his arm and acted coquettishly.
Ren Muchen said, "Sweetie, you go to sleep first. I hope you look beautiful every day. Go on, don't miss your beauty sleep, I'll be there in a bit."
…………
Although it was supposed to be a date, He Yueyin decided to hold the meeting at the Marquis's residence because Li Tingxue needed to take care of her young child and couldn't go out frequently.
Firstly, it would make it easier for Li Tingxue to take care of the child, and secondly, she also wanted to meet her benefactor's beloved daughter, Shen Anle.
When He Yueyin entered Songhe Courtyard, she immediately saw her benefactor Jiang Mianmian holding a chubby little child. Without a doubt, she was the young lady of the Marquis's mansion—Shen Anle.
Jiang Mianmian and her granddaughter were sitting on a deck chair in the courtyard, enjoying the warm sunshine. She had a big smile on her face and seemed to be in a particularly good mood.
He Yueyin quickly stepped forward and greeted Jiang Mianmian warmly: "Aunt Jiang, hello! It's been a long time!"
Jiang Mianmian was overjoyed to see He Yueyin. She was also quite happy when she heard that He Yueyin was coming.
"Oh, Yueyin, you've come! Come in, come in, you're such a rare guest!"
As she spoke, Jiang Mianmian didn't forget to look down at her granddaughter Shen Anle in her arms, her eyes full of affection.
She thought to herself, "If my precious granddaughter could live a happy and fulfilling life like He Yueyin, that would be the best thing ever."
There's a common saying that the closer a child is to someone, the more likely they are to become like that person in the future.
That's why Jiang Mianmian couldn't wait for Xiao Anle to get closer to He Yueyin.
As soon as she saw He Yueyin approaching, without saying a word, she gently placed her granddaughter into He Yueyin's arms and said with a smile:
"Come here, Yueyin, give our Anle a hug too, so that this little one can share in your good fortune. Maybe you'll be able to have a baby as cute as her in the future!"
Upon hearing her words, He Yueyin smiled happily. She carefully took Shen Anle from her hands and said gently:
"Oh, that would be wonderful! If we could really have a daughter as cute as Xiao Anle, Mu Chen and I would be overjoyed!"
He Yueyin happily accepted Xiao Anle and said, "Mu Chen and I have been longing to have a lovely daughter! We just don't know if we'll be lucky enough to have our wish fulfilled."
After saying that, she sighed softly, a hint of expectation in her eyes.
Jiang Mianmian comforted her, "Don't worry, you two. I believe good news is coming soon."
Upon hearing this, He Yueyin smiled and replied, "Then I appreciate your kind words! I sincerely hope that good fortune will come soon."
"Once I really get pregnant, we'll have to thank Xiao Anle properly and give this little one a big red envelope. After all, she's our lucky charm for having a baby!"
Jiang Mianmian gently tapped the chubby pink nose of Shen Anle, who was sitting beside her and was only a few months old, and said with affection:
"Oh my, look at my little darling, how adorable you are! Even your Aunt He can't help but praise you..."
As if understanding what the adults were saying, little Shen Anle grinned, revealing a toothless yet incredibly innocent and radiant smile.
That smile was as warm and gentle as the spring sun, and as bright and dazzling as the stars on a summer night, making one's heart soften upon seeing it.
Looking at the little Le'an in front of her, He Yueyin became even more determined to have a sweet little girl in the future.
Just then, several guests arrived at the house. As is customary, the host hurriedly went to greet them and offered them tea and snacks.
This should have been an ordinary thing, however...
When Li Tingxue inadvertently looked up, she caught sight of Ji Yuqing standing beside her. Instantly, the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.
Why are you still here? Weren't you fired?
Ji Yuqing's eyes instantly welled up with tears, turning red in the blink of an eye. Then, with a "thump," she knelt down without hesitation, directly in front of Jiang Mianmian.
Although she kept pleading with Jiang Mianmian for mercy, her teary eyes were fixed on He Yueyin, who was standing to the side.
She wept bitterly, her face streaked with tears, and pleaded through sobs, "Madam, please have mercy on me! Please don't drive me out of the Marquis's mansion. I am just a helpless orphan."
If I really leave here, I have nowhere else to go. I'm afraid even survival will be a problem. I... I really will starve to death...
At this moment, He Yueyin, standing to the side, looked extremely embarrassed. She had never expected that she would witness such a thing on her first visit.
[Hmph, it's either you die or I live. Since that's the case, then it's definitely you who has to die!]
[If I hadn't driven you out of the Marquis's mansion, you would definitely have followed that man's orders and cruelly poisoned and harmed our entire family!]
Upon hearing this, He Yueyin's embarrassment vanished instantly. It was replaced by utter astonishment: ...What?! Poisoning?!
She stared wide-eyed at Ji Yuqing in horror, unable to comprehend how this seemingly delicate and timid maid could commit such a heinous act!
This is absolutely terrifying! You really can't judge a book by its cover!
Let alone Jiang Mianmian, even if she herself were in such a situation, she would probably immediately strike first and get rid of this ruthless maid.
However, Ji Yuqing completely misunderstood the meaning behind He Yueyin's "shocked" expression.
She actually thought that He Yueyin's surprised expression was because she found it hard to believe that Jiang Mianmian had dismissed the servants without reason.
Ji Yuqing then began to complain to everyone, following the method taught to her by Luo Yuchuan.
She tearfully recounted her tragic life story: she had struggled to survive in an orphanage since childhood, but even the orphanage could no longer sustain them. Left with no other choice, she had to sell herself to the Marquis's mansion.
From the moment she entered the Marquis's mansion, for so many years, she has always been diligent and hardworking, and has never made any mistakes.
But who would have thought?
Just yesterday, she was doing her job as usual, completely unaware of what she had done wrong.
Jiang Mianmian inexplicably threw a tantrum at her and even tried to drive her away without any mercy!
At this point, Ji Yuqing became even more sincere. She earnestly apologized to Jiang Mianmian, expressing her hope that Jiang Mianmian would be magnanimous and not hold a grudge against such an insignificant person as herself.
Moreover, she repeatedly emphasized that she had no intention of "frightening" Jiang Mianmian.
At that time, she did not expect Jiang Mianmian to suddenly turn her head, nor did she expect that her quiet walking according to the "family rules" could scare Jiang Mianmian.
At that moment, how could she have predicted that Jiang Mianmian would suddenly turn around?
Moreover, she was merely following the "family rules" of the Marquis's mansion, walking carefully and quietly, never expecting that such actions would frighten Jiang Mianmian so much.
If she had known this would happen, she would have preferred to stay in her room and rest early rather than step out of the door.
After her tearful explanation, anyone who didn't know the situation would probably think she was really wronged and innocent, while Jiang Mianmian seemed to have become an unreasonable and reckless person.
But He Yueyin, upon hearing the inner voice, was completely stunned: "..."
How could this not be terrifying!
Just as she turned her head casually, she suddenly discovered that one of her seemingly obedient and harmless maids would later be so ruthless as to poison her entire family.
Anyone in that situation would probably have been terrified!
[No way, the poison has already been administered?!]
