Chapter 632: Chapter 571, Everyone is Waiting_2

Soon, the three of them arrived at Wentao’s courtyard.

Sitting in the main seat of the living room, and looking towards the two men with a solemn expression, Daohua asked, “Now, tell me, what exactly happened?”

Wentao still wanted to struggle a bit and said with a forced smile, “What do you mean ‘what happened’?”

Daohua glanced at him and said without any expression, “Why were you poisoned? What poison were you exposed to?”

Wentao lowered his head and remained silent.

Seeing Daohua’s unwavering demeanor, Yan Wenkai laughed ‘hehe’ twice and recounted their experiences in the Northern Frontier in detail.

The Prince had planted many of his people in the military camp, among them a high-ranking, influential second-rank general.

This general knew about the matters in Sishan Village and was also on good terms with a deputy commander of Xia Teng’s troops. After seeing the weapons they had sent, he immediately sent word to the Prince.

Fortunately, Xiao Yeyang had arranged for someone in advance to intercept that secret letter; otherwise, by now, the Prince would have been aware of everything concerning Sishan Village.

Even though they knew the general was one of the Prince’s men, they couldn’t simply arrest him because of his high prestige in the military. Plus, due to their past actions, he grew cautious. He carried his trusted aides everywhere and did not attend any private gatherings, making it difficult for them to find an opportunity to act.

The Prince’s people definitely needed to be dealt with, and to prevent the news from leaking again, in the end, they had no choice but to take action during a public banquet for the soldiers in the camp.

Direct assassination was out of the question, so poison was their only option.

As it happened, the Little Prince had poison handy, which would silently kill a person within an hour after being ingested.

However, the man was extremely vigilant and refused to drink any toast offered by them.

In the end, the third brother stepped in personally and drank the poisoned wine in front of him, which finally made him lower his guard and take a drink from the cup the third brother had used.

Although the third brother quickly took an antidote afterwards, the poison was so potent that it still harmed his body.

After listening to the account, Daohua stood up abruptly, furious, and said, “Third brother, how can you gamble with your own life like this?”

Wentao replied with a sheepish smile, “But I’m fine now, aren’t I?”

Daohua’s eyebrows were tightly furrowed as she said, “You may still have your life, but your body has been damaged by the poison. You might feel fine now because you’re young, but as you grow older, prepare to be confined to your bed.”

Hearing this, Wentao became anxious, “Is it really that serious?”

Yan Wenkai also hurried over to Daohua, smirked flatteringly, and said, “Dear sister, the third brother knows he was wrong. He was provoked by the Zhou Family and wanted to make a name for himself as quickly as possible.”

At these words, Wentao glared fiercely at Yan Wenkai, while Daohua fell silent. Looking at her third brother whose eyes began to dim, she spoke in a low voice, “Third brother, you must take good care of your health. So, rest today and starting from tomorrow, I will come over and prepare medicinal baths for you.”

…

Meanwhile, in the Jiang Family household.

Madam Jiang and Advisor Jiang were also discussing the day’s events.

Learning that Xiao Yeyang had directly sold off the maid sent by the Empress Dowager, Madam Jiang snorted and said, “I always said that Xiao Yeyang was still the same as when he was a child, acting entirely on his whims, without thinking of the consequences.”
