NOVEL NEXT Chapter 32 - I
“How could it be possible?” Hong Man was in a daze after hearing this. She never thought that it would be this woman who poisoned Li Tianyan. She always thought it was the god’s hand helping her and she didn’t want to mention it. No one was asked to investigate this matter deliberately.
Hong Man’s tone was a little weak, “Where do Yan’er and the others live now?”
Mother Liu helped her sit down and then said, “The third young master lives in the Guan family’s villa in Fenglong Mountain in the suburbs of Shanxi.”
“Guan family? Why did he live in the Guan family’s place?” Hong Man suddenly remembered on the day of the birthday banquet; she accidentally saw Guan Haoran taking the initiative to talk to Li Tianyan. When did the two of them know each other? The friendship she didn’t know anything about.
Mother Liu told her the news she had learned, “The young master of the Guan family was not in good health before. He asked all the pharmacists in Jincheng, but they couldn’t cure him. I heard he was finally cured by the third young master. The Guan family, in order to repay third young master, give him a villa to live.”
With Madam Guan’s rich and wealthy behavior, it was not surprising she would give him a villa as a thank you gift. After all, Guan Haoran was the only one she and Master Guan have. If anything happened to Guan Haoran, the Guan family would definitely let Master Guan carry a concubine home in order to continue the family line.
“Are you sure the news is correct? When did Yan’er learn this?” Hong Man thought she knew Li Tianyan well, but now she suddenly felt she could not understand the child anymore.
Mother Liu glanced at Madam with some worry, but in the end, she did not hide anything, “I heard from the shopkeeper of Sunhe Medicine Hall that the third young master and Young Master Guan met there that day. The shopkeeper said that the third young master entered the hall before Young Master Guan. So, he somehow caught the smell of medicine on the Young Master Guan’s body, and finally sold him a prescription.”
“You can know the symptoms by smelling the medicine…” Hong Man suddenly thought of something and almost lost her strength, “Then I put something into his medicine. Did he already know about the red bile herb?”
Hong Man thought Li Tianyan had become a different person since he woke up, and he had become alienated from her and left Li Mansion without any regrets. Hong Man felt flustered the more she thought.
Seeing the madam like this, Mother Liu quickly spoke to comfort her, “Madam, don’t worry, it may be the young master wanted to get close to Young Master Guan, so he may have inquired about the prepared recipe in advance.”
In fact, shopkeeper Sunhe Medicine Hall also had this suspicion, but did not talk about it.
Hong Man didn’t feel good after hearing this. Not to mention the Tang family, Madam Guan’s natal family, in Yuncheng also invited many pharmacists to cure their grandson, but none of them could do it. How could Li Tianyan find out?
Seeing how sad she was, Mother Liu thought for a while and said, “Madam, how about we go back to Hong Mansion and tell Master and Madam Hong.”
“No.” Hong Man raised her hand decisively to interrupt her, “This matter cannot be done. It can’t be leaked, especially the Hong family cannot know.”
At times like this, she needed to be calmer. She was still not sure whether her parents would be on Tianyan’s side, she must not act rashly, otherwise it would only make Tianyan fell into a more dangerous situation. She must be well-prepared and find the right moment to deliver a fatal blow to Duan Qin.
Hong Man trembled and gritted her teeth, whispering, “I can’t do anything to you now, just wait, I, Hong Man, never be at odds with you. But you dare to deceive me like this. I will definitely make you pay for everything you have done.”
Mother Liu, seeing the madam’s reaction, quickly figured it out. If Young Master Tiancheng was just a warrior, the Hong family would definitely work together to get justice for the madam. But now that Young Master Tiancheng was a disciple of Tianfan Immortal Sect, the Hong family might put the overall situation first, most likely to choose the best benefit and concealed the truth without caring about the third young master.
Thinking of this, Mother Liu sighed heavily. Madam only had the third young master and the eldest young master. If this incident became known to everyone, other families might take the opportunity to join forces with Li Tiancheng against the madam.
“Mother Liu, go and send the emerald green lotus I have hidden privately to Li Laoqi.” Hong Man thought for a while and ordered Mother Liu.
Hearing the Emerald Green Lotus, Mother Liu’s heart skipped a beat. This was the medicinal plant that Madam had spent a lot of effort to find for young master Tiancheng. Why did she suddenly want to give it to the Seventh Elder of the Li Mansion?
However, seeing madam’s resolute attitude, in the end, Mother Liu didn’t say anything to persuade her, “Yes, the old maid will go now.”
“Quietly, don’t be discovered.” Hong Man suddenly reminded her.
“Yes, I know how to do it.”
.
On the third day after Li Tianyan moved to the villa, Guan Haoran couldn’t wait and went to Fenglong Mountain. Waiting for three days was already the limit. If he wasn’t afraid of being abrupt, he wanted to go two days ago.
“Young master, is this Li Tianyan a liar? How can a piece of yellow paper hurt someone?” Guang Hong finally spoke when he saw that Fenglong Mountain was right in front of them.
Although Guan Hong didn’t go to Sunhe Medicine Hall with him that day, he had been a guard for the young master for many years. He was used to all kinds of tricks to coax Guan Haoran into paying. In the past, he would not say much as long as the young master was happy, but this time Li Tianyan’s asking price of five hundred taels for a piece of yellow paper was a bit excessive.
“Your young master can’t tell if someone is a liar?” Guan Haoran rolled his eyes at Guan Hong; his actions and expression were exactly the same as Madam Guan’s.
Between those people who hang around him all day long, he still couldn’t tell which one was sincere and which one was fake?
But the gap between the strength of the children of several major aristocratic families and his own was getting wider and wider now, and he could only use this method to win over some people. In the final analysis, strength was the most important thing.
