It was too amusing. She could barely hold back her grin.
“Why did you bring him here?” Qian Jiyun glanced at Master Shao before looking at Eldest Brother Yan.
“Aren’t we going to the Luoyang Residence? Aren’t you bringing him along?” Eldest Brother Yan asked, puzzled.
He thought they would need Master Shao, so he escorted him here. Many people in the capital knew about Eldest Brother Yan and Qian Jiyun’s relationship, so he openly entered the Prince Zhan Yun Residence.
“The Shao family might have some other secrets. We should be able to get some information out of him. You don’t want it?”
“He has no teeth. What can he say?” Qian Jiyun pursed his lips in disdain and asked Eldest Brother Yan.
Eldest Brother Yan remained silent.
Master Shao lost his teeth but not his tongue. He could still speak. However, he would need to give him some good medicine to treat his mouth injuries.
“The Luoyang-Shao family should have many secrets. It’ll be useful to keep him around.” An Jiuyue narrowed her eyes and looked at Master Shao.
However, she quickly averted her gaze after taking a glance. He looked too tragic. The sight of him was unbearable.
“Jiyun, feed him one.” She took out a porcelain bottle and handed it to Qian Jiyun.
“This is…” Eldest Brother Yan’s eyes lit up when he saw An Jiuyue take out a porcelain bottle.
He had long heard that his sister-in-law was a very powerful medicine refiner. The medicinal pills she produced would definitely make Master Shao suffer, right?
“Poison detoxification?”
“Poison-Dissolving Pill,” An Jiuyue replied straightforwardly.
Master Shao widened his eyes at An Jiuyue.
Was this the wife whom Qian Jiyun had found? They knocked out his teeth, shaved his hair, and now they wanted to dissolve all the poison in his body with a Poison-Dissolving Pill?
“Mmph, mmph!”
He shook his head in horror when he saw that Qian Jiyun was about to force the pill down his throat.
The poison in his body had already fused with his own being. If the poison were removed now, he would really be a cripple, living in unbearable pain every day.
“You don’t want to eat it? Do you even have a choice?” Eldest Brother Yan was secretly surprised by his reaction.
Had his sister-in-law not reminded him, his subordinates might have come into contact with Master Shao’s blood and possibly died from poisoning. He had to be extremely careful against a family that used poison, like the Luoyang-Shao family.
“Second Brother, I’ll leave this person to you. I still have to make a trip to the Prince Luo Yang Residence.”
“Okay.” Qian Jiyun nodded and watched Eldest Brother Yan leave.
Prince Luoyang had yet to receive any news from the palace.
He did not know that Master Shao, whom he trusted, had been captured. He was still anxiously waiting for news in the residence, praying that everything would go smoothly. He hoped to obtain the abdication edict and successfully take the position that everyone desired.
“What time is it? Why isn’t there any news?”
After waiting for some time, Prince Luoyang could no longer sit still. He paced back and forth in the study.
Although he was anxious, he knew he had to calm down. However, too much time had pa.s.sed. He was anxious because he did not know if something had happened to Master Shao.
“Go outside the residence and see why Grandfather hasn’t returned yet,” he instructed the servant outside.
However, before the servant outside the door could reply to him, he saw a guard rushing over from afar.
