Chapter 29 A Taste that Makes One Reluctant to Part
Cuiyan walked over and saw the Young Miss sitting outside. She quickly went to get a cloak and said worriedly,
âMiss, the weather is bad today. Your fever went down yesterday. You canât let the cold air in.â
Su Anan looked back and smiled.
âCuiyan, I think I dreamed of my mother last night.â
She dreamed that she had returned to her motherâs arms, surrounded by a faint medicinal fragrance. It was reassuring to her, so warm, and so nostalgic.
Cuiyan, who was putting on her cloak, paused.
âMiss â¦â
Su Ananâs eyes were gentle. âItâs okay. Iâm not sad. Iâm just sighing.â
She looked up at Cuiyanâs bloodshot eyes and said with heartache,
âYouâve been watching over me the whole night. Youâve worked hard. Go and rest for a while. â
Cuiyan shook her head, her heart dejected.
The Young Miss must be too lonely, thatâs why she said she missed Madam.
She refused to go, only saying that staying up for a night was nothing, as long as she was fine.
Then, she turned around and brought over a bowl of warm medicine, urging,
âMiss, quickly drink the medicine.â Su Anan took the black medicine and didnât touch it.
Cuiyan thought that the Young Miss was afraid of suffering and hurriedly said,
âYoung Madam, this medicine is quite useful. After taking one dose yesterday, your fever went down. Although itâs a little bitter, good medicine tastes bitter.â
The previous night, Shen Juncheng had taken her pulse and saved her. Cuiyan had told her about it when she had just woken up. However, at that time, her head was hurting badly and she had not been able to organize her thoughts.
After sitting in the courtyard and thinking for a long time, she also understood the cause and effect.
âCuiyan, do you really think that I was infected with the cold wind yesterday?â
âMiss?â
Su Anan put down the medicine.
âItâs just poison.â
Cuiyanâs eyes widened.
âPoisoned? What poison? Young Miss, when were you poisoned?â
She had eaten with the Young Miss yesterday, so why was she fine?
Su Anan explained.
Even if she was a little delicate, how could she have been infected by just a cold wind?
The bone-chilling cold last night did not seem to be just a cold wind.
She suddenly remembered that Liang Mingyu had affectionately held her hand before she left. The back of her hand was so cold that it made her shiver.
She had thought that the little girl was just showing off and did not have any bad intentions. She did not expect that she would actually drug her directly.
She was the one who was dazzled by it.
Su Anan couldnât help but wonder if this young lady was really Shen Junchengâs cousin when she saw that such a delicate young lady could carry poison with her.
As for Shen Juncheng, it was understandable that he was familiar with medicine, but judging from his indifferent attitude yesterday, was he so responsible that he had to personally come to take her pulse in the middle of the night?
Under normal circumstances, a doctor should have been invited, but he had come in person. This could only mean one thing, he knew that she was poisoned and it wasnât a cold wind.
Cuiyan also remembered that in the raindrop pavilion, Miss Yu âer had come up and suddenly pulled the Lady affectionately.
It turned out that she was the one who had poisoned her at that time. She was such a beautiful girl, but she didnât expect her to be so vicious.
She clutched her handkerchief, her eyes watery, and suddenly, she knelt.
âMiss, you can scold this servant. Itâs all this servantâs fault.â
It was all because she had persuaded the young lady to marry back then that she had ended up in such a situation.
She was poisoned on the wedding night and was killed the next day. How could there be any peace? At this moment, Cuiyan regretted that she had persuaded the Young Lady to marry.
Su Anan helped her up and comforted her.
âDonât worry, itâs not as bad as you think.â
Shen Juncheng did not seem to be a cruel person. She could tell that from the way he came to save her the previous night.
âPerhaps as long as we obediently become invisible people and donât do anything for Mrs. Liu, our days will also be stable and peaceful.â
