The eldest daughter, she is proud and sassy

Chapter 319 Remnants
The sky gradually darkened, and no one came to the wing to light candles.

Cui Hengyue lowered her head slightly, closed her eyes and opened them again, allowing her eyes to adapt to the darkness.

There was faint movement outside, but no one approached the wing.

Not long after, there was a rush of footsteps outside, and they were getting closer.

It should be her father who is worried about his son's future, Cui Hengyue thought to himself.

The door was opened, and the person who appeared at the door was indeed Cui Yongxuan, a trace of bitterness crossed Cui Hengyue's face, both happy and sad.

If her elder brother was still alive, would Cui Yongxuan worry about him like this?
Cui Hengyue didn't know.

"Unlock the lock, hurry up." Cui Yongxuan couldn't wait to order after entering the room.

Bai Qi walked up to Cui Hengyue, took out the key and opened the iron chains on her hands and feet: "The old lady has an order, you can go back to Jinglan Garden, and you don't need to copy the house rules."

"Then grandpa and grandma will punish the people in Jinglanyuan because of my leaving the mansion?" Cui Hengyue asked cautiously, pretending not to know anything.

Bai Qi had no doubts, but just as he was about to answer, Cui Yongxuan preempted him.

"No, your grandmother agreed to all your requests."

Cui Hengyue asked again: "Did grandfather agree?"

The room suddenly fell silent.

Cui Yongxuan was stunned for a moment, then said nonchalantly: "I agree, you can draw now."

Can't wait?

Cui Hengyue's eyes turned cold, and she covered her arms and said, "My hands are hurting now, so I can't draw."

Cui Yongxuan straightened his face instantly, but seeing the scars on her wrists and the blood on her sleeves, her anger faded away.

"Call Dr. Chen over here."

Cui Hengyue hurriedly said: "Let Dr. Chen go to Jinglan Garden, I will return to Jinglan Garden now."

After the words fell, she walked out slowly.

After walking two steps, she looked back at Cui Yongxuan again: "Father, let's go too, I'll start painting after my wound is bandaged."

Hearing this, Cui Yongxuan was overjoyed and hurried to catch up.

Cui Hengyue walked very slowly. On the way back to Jinglanyuan from the front yard, she would occasionally talk to Cui Yongxuan. Because of the portrait, Cui Yongxuan was very gentle to Cui Hengyue.

The picture of father's kindness and daughter's filial piety was seen by the servants around, and they quickly reported it to their master.

It didn't take long for all the houses in the mansion to know that the third master went to pick up Cui Hengyue in person.

Liu's face turned livid when she found out, but she didn't dare to go to Jinglan Garden.

When Cui Hengyue returned to Jinglanyuan, all the guards who had been guarding Jinglanyuan had withdrawn, and all the servants of Jinglanyuan were also released.

"Yuan Niang, you are back."

Shui Fu and Shui Rong stood at the gate of the courtyard to welcome Cui Hengyue, when they saw Cui Yongxuan, they were very surprised.

"I've seen the third master." The two hurriedly saluted.

Cui Yongxuan didn't look at them, but reminded Cui Hengyue: "Be careful where you step."

"Thank you father for reminding me." Cui Hengyue smiled at Cui Yongxuan, and then stepped across the threshold.

Cui Yongxuan followed closely with loving eyes.

Seeing this scene, Shui Fu and Shui Rong were stunned. When did the relationship between their father and daughter become so harmonious?

"Doctor Chen is here."

Wei Jiang's voice came from behind, and Shui Fu and Shui Rong hurriedly greeted Dr. Chen.

After seeing Cui Hengyue's injuries, Dr. Chen left Jinglan Garden and reported Cui Hengyue's injuries to Mrs. Cui.

Cui Hengyue did not break her promise. After the wound was bandaged, she sat behind the desk, took a pen and paper and began to draw.

"This is the suspicious man who appeared near the Ye Mansion that day, father should send someone to find him quickly."

Before the ink was dry, Cui Hengyue handed the portrait to Cui Yongxuan.

"it is good."

Cui Yongxuan was a little excited, took the portrait and left the room.

Shui Fu and Shui Rong, who were guarding outside, saw Cui Yongxuan leave, and walked in.

"Yuanniang, what did you give the third master? He seems very happy." Shui Fu cautiously tested.

Cui Hengyue only said "nothing" and told them: "Make me a bowl of noodles, I'm hungry."

Shui Rong turned around and left, but Shui Fu stayed behind.

But Cui Hengyue told Shui Fu: "Go and help Shui Rong, hurry up, I want to eat now."

Shui Fu had no choice but to leave the room.

After they left, Lady Wen quietly walked into Cui Hengyue's room.

Cui Hengyue subconsciously picked up the brush in hand, ready to attack.

"Yuanniang, it's me." Lady Wen gently closed the door and walked over.

Cui Hengyue breathed a sigh of relief, and put down the brush: "Is everything cleaned up?"

Lady Wen: "All the evidence has been destroyed. Don't worry, they won't suspect us."

Cui Hengyue was not happy, but looked at Mrs. Wen seriously: "Besides this matter, what else did Zhen Jiu ask you to do?"

"No more." Sensing Cui Hengyue's displeasure, Lady Wen explained: "Actually, it's not that Zhen Jiu doesn't believe you, but I'm just afraid that you are too soft-hearted.

"That's why I was asked to do this, so that you can see Cui Quan's true face."

Cui Hengyue didn't speak, and after a long time, she said: "Don't worry, I will never break my promise."

On the other side, Cui Yongxuan took the portrait to the front yard and handed the portrait to Mrs. Cui.

Mrs. Cui immediately ordered someone to search for the person according to the portrait.

"My lord, are you awake?"

Excited voices came from the inner room, Mrs. Cui hurried in, followed by brothers Cui Yongzong and Cui Yongxuan.

Cui Quan just woke up, his mind went blank, he looked at his wife and asked, "What happened? What happened to me?"

Mrs. Cui stepped forward, held his hand, her eyes were reddish: "You were poisoned just now."

Then, Mrs. Cui told him what happened after he fainted, but concealed what kind of poison he was poisoned by.

After Cui Quan heard this, his expression was very ugly: "Have you caught the person who poisoned you?"

Bai Qi knelt down with a "plop": "The subordinate is incompetent, and the person who poisoned has not been found yet."

Cui Quan didn't speak, but there was a faint flash of anger in his eyes.

The people in the room did not dare to vent their anger.

After a few breaths, Mrs. Cui suddenly said: "You all go down."

Cui Yongzong glanced at his father's face, and then walked out.

Seeing this, the others left silently.

When only Cui Quan and his wife were left in the room, Mrs. Cui told Cui Quan the truth: "My lord, the poison you are suffering from is not from the Northern Han Dynasty, but the poison from the Imperial Physician Zhen."

"what?"

Cui Quan turned pale with shock and involuntarily raised his voice.

The next moment he realized his gaffe, he hurriedly lowered his voice: "Why did that kind of poison appear in the mansion? Could it be that the capital was a spy from the Southern Tang Dynasty?"

"I don't think so." Mrs. Cui thought for a while: "If the capital has entered the Southern Tang spies, it is impossible for the regent not to know. He has not moved, which means that the capital has no Southern Tang spies."

Suddenly, a light flashed in her mind, Mrs. Cui said in shock: "Back then, Imperial Doctor Zhen was wiped out, but someone in Zhen's residence escaped this catastrophe.

"Perhaps, the person who poisoned him was the remnants of the Zhen family."
