"Jing Xunce, are you ever going to stop? I've already said that there's no chance for us anymore."
"How could that be! I never agreed, so it doesn't count!"
"Jing Xunce, have you forgotten why I left in the first place?" Mu Fengqie asked this question again. The divorce letter was given to her by Hongyi on his own orders. Now he comes to say he doesn't recognize it?
"Jing Xunce, do you think I'm the kind of person who can be called upon and dismissed at will in your eyes?"
"I didn't, Qie'er. I've explained. I never touched that Li Tongyu, and that child isn't mine. Moreover, I've never touched any other woman. Qie'er, I've been waiting for you all these years."
Jing Xunce hugged Mu Fengqie tightly, afraid that if he let go, the person in front of him would suddenly disappear.
"Jing Xunce, that's enough! Let go of me!" Mu Fengqie struggled hard but couldn't break free from Jing Xunce's hold. She could only shout for someone outside. Although she had learned some martial arts in the valley, it was only enough for her to escape.
"Someone! There's an assassin!"
Zhu Yan immediately rushed in from outside. As soon as he entered the room, he saw Jing Xunce hugging their mistress tightly. He immediately got angry.
This heartless man still dared to come looking for their mistress? He was truly shameless to the extreme.
Jing Xunce dodged Zhu Yan's attack and still wanted to go to the bedside to take Mu Fengqie away. However, Zhu Yan and his men guarded tightly, not giving him the slightest chance to get close.
"Qie'er, I'll come to find you again. I will definitely gain your forgiveness." After saying that, he took a deep look at Mu Fengqie and then left.
It wasn't suitable to fight today. Once the misunderstanding between him and Qie'er was resolved, he could take her back.
"Pfft! What a thing! They've already divorced, and he still comes to bother our mistress. He's truly shameless!"
"Boss, maybe he has something that only our mistress can help with, which is why he has the nerve to come looking for her. And this matter can't be handled by anyone else."
"Then we definitely can't let this shameless thing meet our mistress. What if something happens to our mistress?"
"Makes sense."
"From now on, keep a close eye on things every day. Don't let that shameless person come again."
"Yes!"
Mu Fengqie watched them start to fantasize about a conspiracy theory right in front of her. She was quite speechless. She never knew that Zhu Yan could have such a vivid imagination, and it even seemed quite reasonable.
If it were someone else's conspiracy theory, perhaps she would have believed it. However, if it was Jing Xunce, based on her understanding of him, he wouldn't do such a thing.
If the people in front of her knew her thoughts, they would definitely retort, "We never thought this Jing Xunce would be the kind of person who would divorce his wife. So, mistress, never judge a book by its cover."
"Mistress, you should rest. We brothers will take turns on duty. We definitely won't let that shameless thing in again."
"Actually, there's no need for this."
"No! Mistress, once there's a first time, there will be a second time. I'm not at ease."
Mu Fengqie couldn't argue with him, so she had to agree.
When Jing Xunce returned from Mu Fengqie's place, he just entered the door when he vomited blood and fainted. Mu Nan calmly told someone to carry Jing Xunce in. This wasn't the first time this had happened.
The poison wasn't fatal, but it was definitely uncomfortable. Moreover, there was no antidote, and one could only endure it.
"Quickly carry the marquis back to his room." After saying that, he sent someone to find a doctor. They still had to have a look. Maybe this time the poison was easy to cure. Unfortunately, Mu Nan was thinking too much. Watching the doctor shake his head, he sighed in his heart.
Who on earth was trying to harm their master? He didn't believe what Yuan Yuhan said, that the person who poisoned was Yuan Yuchuan. They had already dealt with many groups of assassins in the mansion.
The source they traced back to was Yuan Yuchuan, but then the clue about the person who poisoned was cut off.
"Sigh~"
"What are you sighing for? What troubles could a young person like you have? Tell me and let me have a good laugh." Master Kongtong suddenly appeared behind Mu Nan, scaring Mu Nan so much that he jumped up.
"Damn it! You scared me to death. Do you walk without making a sound?" Mu Nan patted his chest and looked at Master Kongtong accusingly.
"You were so absorbed in your thoughts that it's not my fault. Quickly tell me what you're worried about." Looking at Master Kongtong's gossipy look, Mu Nan couldn't stand it.
However, he had no way to deal with him. He couldn't beat him, and he couldn't argue with him. He was suppressed in every way. It was really frustrating for him. Although he said so, Mu Nan's mind had become much quicker than before, and he thought about a lot of things.
"Master has been poisoned. The person who poisoned him seems to be playing with master. Instead of using fatal poisons, he uses those that make people suffer unbearably and have no antidote. One can only endure it."
"Really? Then I have to go and take a look. I'm really interested in what kind of poison is so interesting." He thought of a person in his heart but then dismissed the idea. How could she be here?
When Master Kongtong went in, Jing Xunce was in a deep sleep. Mu Nan and Hongyi had acupunctured his sleep point, so he could lie there quietly now.
Master Kongtong observed the reaction of Jing Xunce's body after being poisoned. The more he looked, the more shocked he was. This was clearly something only his master could do. But how could that be?
It was already an accident that he could come here. Could his master also be here?
Master Kongtong's thoughts drifted. He remembered the time when his master led them to discuss topics together. But...
"Hey!"
"Ah?" Master Kongtong was startled by Mu Nan's voice. "What's wrong?"
"What were you thinking? I've been calling you for a long time, and you didn't answer. I'm asking if you have a way to cure this poison?"
"No." After saying that, Master Kongtong left. He now had to find out who had poisoned. When he first heard that Jing Xunce's wife was named Mu Fengqie, he had some expectations, but then he dismissed them.
It was just the same name. How could it be her? But now this kind of poison that only she could use had appeared here. Maybe she had also come.
Master Kongtong was faintly excited. If it was true, would he be considered to have a fellow countryman?
On the day when Jing Xunce went to the temple to invite him out of the mountain, he had just crossed over. He had just received this person's memories when Jing Xunce came. Fortunately, Jing Xunce didn't know much about him and didn't know what kind of person he was.
He slowly showed his true character in front of them. He couldn't always act like Master Kongtong. It would be better to just exhaust himself.
Mu Nan watched Master Kongtong leave in a hurry. He didn't know what he was up to, but he didn't bother to care.
