Elder Bai interrupted, “I know what you want to ask. I can cure any disease, but not this gu. To save your sister, you must find the person who cast the gu.”
After inquiring about her sister’s condition, Jiang Yan asked him to look after her and turned to leave.
Elder Bai chased after her, saying, “You girl, why the rush? Don’t you know how dangerous this is?”
“It’s dangerous, but I have to go.”
Jiang Yan stopped and said.
Elder Bai was at a loss with her, “Wait, I’ll get something for you!”
He turned back into his room.
When he came out, Elder Bai handed Jiang Yan a white bottle, “This medicine inside can repel the gu. Apply it on yourself, and the gu won’t bite you upon smelling it.”
After giving Jiang Yan the medicine, Elder Bai instructed Lin Ying to protect her.
Jiang Yan, worried about dragging Lin Ying into danger, told him as soon as they were outside, “Brother Lin Ying, just wait outside for me, no need to come in with me.”
Knowing how formidable the gu could be, Lin Ying said, “Miss Jiang, the gu isn’t just any insect, it’s very dangerous. It’s not safe for you to go alone. I should go with you to confront that person.”
Jiang Yan still refused his company.
Unable to persuade her, Lin Ying could only watch as she entered the place alone.
Concerned for her safety, Lin Ying fired a signal flare. Soon, people from the villa saw the signal, and several guards flew towards him.
“Go find the master quickly, Miss Jiang is in danger.”
…
At the Sun family.
Liang Yuxin showed no surprise when Jiang Yan arrived. She calmly asked, “What brings you here?”
“You know why I’m here, don’t you?”
Jiang Yan quickly approached Liang Yuxin, pulling out a dagger and pressing it against her neck, “How do you cure the gu?”
So, the gu didn’t bite her, but someone else.
Liang Yuxin, unflustered, said, “Jiang Yan, if you dare, kill me. But if you do, there will be no cure for the one afflicted with the gu!”
“What do you want?”
Jiang Yan suppressed her urge to kill her.
Liang Yuxin pushed away the dagger, looking at her with a calm demeanor, “What do I want? If I tell you, will you agree?”
“Tell me.”
Jiang Yan tightened her grip.
Liang Yuxin took a small box from a nearby container and placed it in front of Jiang Yan, “I can cure the person with the gu, but only if you get infected with the gu first.”
Chapter 98: Jiang Yan’s Gu Poison
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yan stared at Liang Yuxin and asked, “Do you hate me that much?”
Liang Yuxin’s expression darkened, “Of course, I hate you. If it weren’t for you driving my family to the brink, my father wouldn’t have forced me to marry so early. I was supposed to be married before I came of age, and it’s all because of you. How could I not hate you?!”
“All of this is your own doing!”
“And now you blame me!”
Jiang Yan retorted angrily.
Liang Yuxin didn’t care about that now.
She slightly raised her eyebrows, toying with a teacup beside her, “Jiang Da Ya, just tell me, will you agree? If not, leave quickly! Go back and prepare for the funeral of the one with the gu!”
“I agree, but before that, can you tell me how you got the gu?”
Jiang Yan didn’t believe Liang Yuxin had such capabilities.
Liang Yuxin certainly wouldn’t tell her at this moment, “Do you think I’d tell you now? If you want to know, get infected with the gu, and then I’ll consider telling you.”
Damn it!
Jiang Yan was about to reach for the box. Liang Yuxin spoke up, “You’d better hurry up, or the person who’s been poisoned might not be able to wait for you to bring back the antidote.”
Jiang Yan didn’t dare to delay any further. She reached out, picked up the box, and opened it.
Liang Yuxin’s eyes were fixed on the box. She had already prepared to laugh, but unexpectedly, the bug not only didn’t crawl onto Jiang Yan’s hand but kept retreating until it curled up in the corner of the box.
“Jiang Yan, what did you do? I’m warning you, don’t play any tricks, or the person who’s been poisoned will die because of you!”
Jiang Yan went to one side and poured some tea water onto her hand.
She rubbed her hands together.
After wiping them clean, she was about to reach her hand into the box.
Lin Ying flew in, “Miss Jiang, don’t!”
Liang Yuxin’s face darkened as she said, “Well, well, you’ve brought someone with you. If that’s the case, you can forget about getting the antidote. Only I know where it’s hidden, and I’ll take that secret to my grave!”
“Move aside!”
Jiang Yan shouted at Lin Ying.
Lin Ying didn’t leave; he still wanted to stop Jiang Yan.
“I can’t watch my third sister die.”
Jiang Yan went over and put her hand into the box. A sharp pain hit her, making her gasp.
Why does it hurt so much!
Liang Yuxin burst into laughter, “Jiang Daya, I thought you were so tough, but you’ve still fallen into my trap.”
“The antidote!”
Jiang Yan was in excruciating pain, but she couldn’t afford to care about that now; she just wanted to get the antidote.
Liang Yuxin tossed her a small black bottle.
At this moment, if Jiang Yan tried to catch it, she might drop it, or if she did catch it, she might fall to the ground. Fortunately, Lin Ying was there to catch it.
“How do I use it?”
Jiang Yan stared at her and asked.
Liang Yuxin laughed and said, “How else? Just drink it directly!”
Jiang Yan felt pain with every step. She stood still and said to Lin Ying beside her, “Lin Ying, hurry back with this to save my third sister. Thank you.”
“I’ll take you with me.”
Lin Ying was about to come over to support her.
He could already sense that something was very wrong with Jiang Yan.
He didn’t dare to think that if she died, would his master make him pay with his life!
Jiang Yan left the Sun family with Lin Ying, but once outside, she pushed him away, “With me, you’ll be too slow. Go back first.”
Knowing he couldn’t take her back together.
Lin Ying looked at Jiang Yan and said, “Then you come to Old Bai’s place quickly. His medical skills might be able to delay the onset of the poison in your body.”
“Okay!”
Jiang Yan agreed, but after Lin Ying left, she had Li Dong drive the carriage to buy her some ink and paper.
“Master, you…”
Li Dong wanted to persuade her.
Jiang Yan interrupted him, “I know my own body well. Do as I say, or I’ll sell you right now!”
Li Dong wanted to persuade her further, but seeing Jiang Yan’s face growing paler, he thought she might be planning to write a will. He parked the carriage and quickly ran to buy ink and paper, but there was none available nearby.
Li Dong then bought some used ink and paper from a shop that had it.
“Master, here.”
Jiang Yan took it with trembling hands, placed it on the tea table, and gripped the pen tightly to start writing.
The first letter was to her family, just a few lines.
Then Jiang Yan started writing the second one.
She couldn’t hold on for much longer, so she dared not write too much, fearing she wouldn’t finish.
The second letter was for Jun Shen.
Now she understood her feelings; she did have feelings for him, just too many reservations.
After finishing writing.
Jiang Yan passed out.
“Master!”
Li Dong lifted the curtain of the carriage and called out to her several times with no response. He quickly drove the carriage towards the outskirts of the city.
Not long after.
A figure flew towards him.
Li Dong was startled at first, but upon recognizing the person, he quickly lifted the carriage curtain.
“Jiang Yan!”
Jun Shen entered, took Jiang Yan into his arms, and noticed her breathing was extremely weak. He took out a dagger, cut his palm, and let his blood drip into her mouth.
Li Dong, while driving the carriage, asked, “Young Master Jun, where are we going now? To your master?”
“Yes, to my master.”
