Chapter 853 - 853 Scamming
853 Scamming
Jiang Ming remembered Liang Sisi’s jade pendant and said, “After this, give me the jade pendant. I’ll see if it can be repaired.”
When Liang Sisi heard this, she was pleasantly surprised. “If it can be repaired, that would be great.”
She still felt a little guilty about destroying the jade pendant that her father had given her.
At this moment, in another hall, Xia Qiyan pushed all the ceramic objects to the ground.
She stared at Bai Heyu.
“Although I didn’t say what happened just now, you should give me an explanation now. Who does Ning Caichen think he is? Why does he deserve your special treatment? You even treated me so terribly! I am your wife!”
She was furious.
She had never encountered such a situation before, but now she had seen it all because of Ning Caichen.
She wished she could cut Ning Caichen into a thousand pieces and let him die a horrible death.
“My dear, this is really a misunderstanding. I’m supporting him so much only because he’s someone close to me. As you know, we need to do a ritual in the sea realm, and this ritual needs an appointed person to complete it. When the time comes, I will ask Ning Caichen to finish the ritual. After that, we can rest easy.”
“Who knows if what your Magus said is true or not? When the time comes, we’ll suffer so much. After the ritual, we’ll have nothing to gain.”
Xia Qiyan was still fuming. She pursed her lips and did not agree with Bai Heyu’s words at all.
She was also deliberately facing Bai Heyu. She had to vent her anger.
Since she could not take it out on Ning Caichen, she would have to take it out on Bai Heyu.
Bai Heyu was willing to be a punching bag and immediately comforted Xia Qiyan. “Don’t worry, after the ritual is over, I will definitely give you an explanation. Ning Caichen will definitely beg you to forgive him.”
“I hope so.”
Although Bai Heyu had already said so, Xia Qiyan still felt a little stifled. Without even looking at Bai Heyu, she turned around and left.
Bai Heyu attributed all of this to Jiang Ming.
He clenched his fist in anger and punched the wall beside him.
If it was not for Ning Caichen, why would he be treated like this by Xia Qiyan?
This was all Ning Caichen’s fault. He wanted Ning Caichen to die a horrible death.
Just as he was thinking about it, the servant came forward and said, “Sir, Ning Caichen has already eaten. Should we treat Sikong Wuyuan now?”
“Yes, go find the doctor and tell Ning Caichen about this.”
On the surface, they addressed Jiang Ming respectfully.
In private, they didn’t even care about Jiang Ming and did not give him a t.i.tle at all.
“I understand, my lord.”
The servant hurriedly went to make the report.
Jiang Ming also heard the news and headed in the direction of Sikong Wuyuan.
He had already done a simple bandage on Sikong Wuyuan’s wound, so he was not in a hurry.
Liang Sisi felt that the situation was very serious, so she was anxious.
In her opinion, Sikong Wuyuan had been with them for so long that he had become their good friend.
She really did not want Sikong Wuyuan to become like this.
In the bedroom, Sikong Wuyuan was lying quietly with his eyes closed, as if he was having a nightmare.
His expression was a little painful. Seeing Sikong Wuyuan’s expression, Bai Heyu felt a burst of joy.
This was how it should be! He wanted to make these people suffer.
After Jiang Ming arrived, his expression changed again. He respectfully said to Jiang Ming, “Lord Ning Caichen, you are finally here. The doctor is here. Do you want him to see him?”
Jiang Ming glanced at the doctor.
The doctor had shifty eyes and did not look good, but Jiang Ming did not mind.
“There’s no need to see him anymore. Let’s continue like this. If there’s anything, I’ll take a closer look.”
Xia Qiyan also came to the bedroom and said to Jiang Ming, “Lord Ning Caichen, hurry up and sit down. It’s such a hot day, why didn’t you guys prepare some ice for Lord Ning Caichen? Cherry, go prepare some ice cubes and tea.”
The maid called Cherry nodded and turned to leave.
Jiang Ming saw through Xia Qiyan’s thoughts and sat down immediately.
Since Xia Qiyan wanted to suck up to him, he was willing to do the same.
Xia Qiyan found Jiang Ming’s att.i.tude a little strange, but she did not think too much about it.
“Dr. Xue, you can continue,” Bai Heyu said to the doctor.
The doctor nodded and lifted Sikong Wuyuan’s clothes. He took his pulse and checked his wound.
When Jiang Ming was not looking, he secretly stuffed the medicine into Sikong Wuyuan’s mouth, intending to poison him to death.
However, Jiang Ming saw everything clearly. Jiang Ming deliberately did not say anything.
“Lord Sikong Wuyuan only suffered a few superficial wounds, and he will recover in a while.”
After a while, the doctor stepped forward and spoke to Jiang Ming.
Bai Heyu pretended to be happy and said, “This is really fortunate, Lord Ning Caichen. After a while, Sikong Wuyuan’s condition will recover.”
Xia Qiyan also said, “Yes, Lord Ning Caichen, I’m really glad for you.”
“Since Sikong Wuyuan has to recuperate, why don’t you stay here for a while?”
Bai Heyu continued speaking. His smile narrowed, and his eyes curved into crescents. He did not seem to have any ulterior motives.
Liang Sisi sized up the doctor, feeling a little confused.
She had seen the doctor drugging Sikong Wuyuan, but Ning Caichen reminded her not to do anything and to wait and see.
If Sikong Wuyuan was poisoned to death, then would not it be a waste to wait and see?
Xia Chenjing watched quietly from the side.
He did not notice the doctor’s treatment of Sikong Wuyuan, but kept looking at Bai Heyu.
In his opinion, Bai Heyu was not a good person. He might have bad intentions in his heart.
Later, when they weren’t paying attention, Bai Heyu might do something to them.
Just as Xia Chenjing was thinking, Ling Yunxiao was brewing tea.
He had added some trace substances into the tea one by one.
These substances had no effect on Jiang Ming and the others, but they were fatal to Bai Heyu and Xia Qiyan.
Bai Heyu and Xia Qiyan did not know about this. They felt that their plan had already begun and were still feeling smug…
