"You... What are you talking about? I... I don't understand." Li Daniu stammered. He never thought they were so capable that they even found out about his wedding.
"The money for your wedding was given to you by someone, right? Because he asked you to do something, which was to put something in the candles. You thought that with that money, you could just take it and run far away, and never have to work for others again. So you agreed. Am I right?" Mu Fengqie walked in, looking at Li Daniu and analyzing step by step. She had completely guessed what was in Li Daniu's mind, and she was exactly right.
That's exactly what he had thought at that time. He thought no one would ever find out. But he hadn't even left yet when he was caught. As long as he flat - out denied it, he'd be fine.
"I don't know what you're talking about. Let me tell you, this is kidnapping. I'm going to report you to the authorities!" Li Daniu shouted.
Mu Fengqie watched expressionlessly as Li Daniu played the rascal. At this point, evidence didn't really matter. You could tell from his face that he was the one behind this.
"A Che, send someone to search his house. There might still be some of the medicine left there." Mu Fengqie looked at Jing Xunce and said.
"Okay, I'll send someone right away."
But just as Jing Xunce got up to send someone, Li Daniu blocked his way.
"You're not allowed to go. That's my home. You have no right to go in. And I have a woman there. Who knows what you'll do to her." Li Daniu said warily, looking at Jing Xunce. He just wouldn't let him pass.
But did he really think he could stop Jing Xunce with such a petty trick? Jing Xunce simply ignored Li Daniu and rammed into him. The tall and fat Li Daniu fell to the ground instantly.
"Come on, take him to the jail and light four or five of those candles for him." When it came to being ruthless, women took the cake. Jing Xunce originally planned to take Li Daniu to the place where the captives were held, but Mu Fengqie's idea was going to break Li Daniu's spirit.
He knew exactly what was in those candles. There'd be no problem in a day or two, but in the long run, even the healthiest person couldn't take it. Li Daniu's face turned deathly pale.
"You can't treat me like this! I'm innocent!" Li Daniu shouted anxiously.
"Hmm? Innocent? I didn't say anything about you. Why are you so anxious? I'm just lighting a few more candles for you. What are you so scared of?" Mu Fengqie said with a smile, looking at Li Daniu.
It was just an ordinary smile, but in Li Daniu's eyes, it was the smile of the King of Hell, coming to take his life. Li Daniu rolled his eyes and fainted.
Mu Fengqie stepped forward to take a look and then told someone to take him away. He was so useless. They hadn't even done anything yet, and he fainted. She really didn't know how the person behind this had found such a person.
After despising him thoroughly, Mu Fengqie started researching the antidote again.
It wasn't until evening that the people Jing Xunce had sent finally came back, bringing what Mu Fengqie wanted.
Mu Fengqie smelled the medicine in her hand, and her face darkened suddenly. She didn't expect the person behind this to be so ruthless as to use this kind of medicine.
"I already know what kind of poison this is. But the antidote for this poison is very hard to get. This person must be after you." Because the incubation period of this poison was very long. For a normal person, this poison wouldn't show its effects until at least three months later.
But that person didn't expect that Jing Xunce would give these candles to the wounded first. The wounded were already seriously injured and had no resistance. So the poison didn't need to incubate for long before it showed its effects.
After hearing this, Jing Xunce clenched his fist. The person behind this clearly didn't care about other people. Maybe they did think about it, but just didn't take it seriously.
"Master, I heard..." Yuan Yerui walked in and saw Jing Xunce, a grown man, snuggled in his master's arms. His eyes widened instantly.
Jing Xunce was seeking comfort in Mu Fengqie's arms when he was interrupted by a voice. He looked up at the newcomer irritably. Just a young kid.
"Master, who is he?" Yuan Yerui pointed at Jing Xunce and asked.
"Ahem..." Mu Fengqie pushed Jing Xunce, who was lying on her lap, up and looked at Yuan Yerui. "No one. What do you want?"
"Oh, I just heard that master caught a person and wanted to ask if there's anything I can help with." He was quite good at dealing with people. He had once worked in the Punishment Department and had seen all the tricks there. He had learned quite a few.
"Humph! What can a little kid like you do? You'd better go back and stay put." Jing Xunce said irritably, looking at Yuan Yerui. The secret guards had already told him about Mu Fengqie's situation in the capital. This person had pestered her so much that she finally took him as her disciple. It was obvious he had bad intentions.
"What's wrong with me? My master hasn't said anything. What are you butting in for!" Yuan Yerui said, looking at Jing Xunce. This man was so shameless. A grown - up and still snuggling in his master's arms. He'd never even had the chance to do that.
Jing Xunce could tell what he was thinking from the jealous look on his face. He gritted his teeth and said, "Let me tell you, you'd better stay away from my wife, or I'll skin you alive!"
Such a young kid, not learning anything good. He even had his eye on his wife. He really needed some discipline.
"Humph! She's my master. It's you who should stay away." Yuan Yerui glared back defiantly. In terms of imposing manner, he wouldn't lose. After all, he was a prince.
But Yuan Yerui underestimated Jing Xunce. At first, Jing Xunce didn't take this little kid seriously. But as he kept arguing back, Jing Xunce got angry. He didn't give Yuan Yerui a good look at all and just picked him up and carried him out.
Before leaving, he said to Mu Fengqie, "Qie'er, you've been tired all day. Take a rest first. I'll go and teach this kid a lesson." As he said that, he even shook the kid in his hand.
Yuan Yerui's face turned red from the tight grip on his clothes, but he stubbornly didn't say a single word of pleading.
After Jing Xunce carried Yuan Yerui out, he went to the training ground. He casually grabbed a soldier and threw Yuan Yerui to him. "You train with them properly."
Yuan Yerui watched as Jing Xunce was about to leave. He was indignant. After all, his master had taught him for a long time, and Zhu Yan even said he was a genius at martial arts and learned very quickly.
"Stop! I want to fight you!" The kid was small, but his voice was quite loud. Everyone on the training ground heard it and looked over in surprise. Who was so brave as to challenge their commander - in - chief?
But after seeing that it was just a kid, they looked away again. Children say the darndest things.
