The old lady snorted disdainfully, "When the day comes, he won't be able to tolerate Enge'er if we don't protect him. If we want to take action at that time, it won't be that easy."

Mother Chen nodded. She was just a servant. She did everything according to her master's will. She just hoped that the evil she had done over the years would not be repaid to her grandson.

Xu Hengpu looked at the thick bandage on his leg and tried hard to lift it up, but the leg seemed to belong to someone else and would not obey his orders at all.

Pursing her lips and holding back the tears in her eyes, looking at the current scene, she only felt endless sadness.

Lingying stood by and waited, feeling extremely distressed. In a few years, such a well-educated and gentle man would make many beautiful women fall in love with him. After a few more years of studying, he would be able to catch up with the three-year-old. The provincial examination is held once a year, and there is no guarantee that everyone will get a meritorious title.

With this thought in mind, she left the room, covered her face with a handkerchief and turned away. She didn't want the eldest young master to see the tears she shed for him.

"Miss Lingying, you don't have to be sad for me. People like me are not worth it."

Xu Hengpu wanted to go over and comfort her, but now he couldn't even stand up, let alone walk.

After hearing what was said inside, Lingying wiped away her tears, put the handkerchief away and walked into the house again.

"Young Master, are you still in pain? Do you want my slave to massage it for you?"

"No trouble, just find a place to sit for a while. I'm sure my mother will come over and take a look. Then you can just go back with her. There is nothing special to eat in my house. I just saw a plate on the table. If you don’t mind the pastries, you can eat some first to fill your stomach.”

Xu Hengpu still looked as gentle as jade, and he didn't show much sadness.

Only then did Lingying remember that she had been busy for a long time today and had not eaten. By now, she was already so hungry that her chest was pressed against her back.

Turning around and looking, there was indeed a plate of pastries on the table. She picked up a piece and was about to put it into her mouth. But as soon as it was brought to her mouth, Lingying felt that something was wrong with the pastry.

When I opened it and saw what was inside, I felt even more scared.

"Young Master, who sent this?"

Lingying's heart was ringing with alarm. If she saw it correctly, although the outside of this pastry was rose petals, it actually contained watermelon jam and crab meat!
  Such conflicting foods will cause severe poisoning symptoms after eating, leading to vomiting, diarrhea and dizziness, and even difficulty breathing and heart palpitations. If you eat too much, it will lead to death.

Such a big mistake would never happen in the kitchen.

There is only one possibility, that is, someone did it on purpose!

Although Xu Hengpu didn't know what was going on, looking at Lingying's frightened look, he guessed that it was a food problem.

"This thing was already on the table when I came back today. I thought it was from my mother."

"Young Master, fortunately, I found it early and prevented you from eating it by mistake. This..."

Lingying didn't know what to do for a moment. Just as she was about to go out and invite her wife, she saw Lin Qingwu coming in with Qi Zhen.

"What's wrong? Heng Pu, are you still hurting now?"

Lingying hurriedly moved a stool over and helped Lin Qingwu sit down. Qi Zhen stood outside the door. He had no face to see the eldest young master now.

Xu Hengpu covered his legs with a blanket. He didn't want his mother to see him like this.

If he really can't achieve much in the future because of this, wouldn't all the hard work his mother has put in these days be in vain?
  He didn't want to disappoint his mother.

"Mother doesn't have to worry about her son not being in pain. He will definitely exercise diligently and strive to stand up as soon as possible." Lin Qingwu frowned without leaving any trace. What did this child say?

"Hengpu, you don't need to have too much psychological burden. No matter what, you are still my son and the legitimate son of this prince's house. These will not change, and my mother's heart for you will not change either."

Lin Qingwu was afraid that he would think too much and end up with random thoughts.

Lingying looked at Xu Hengpu and then at Lin Qingwu. Just when she was about to open her mouth to say something, she saw Xu Hengpu secretly waved her hand to him, signaling to be silent.

Of course Lin Qingwu noticed his little move.

He turned to look at Lingying and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it. Don't worry too much."

Lingying stepped forward and blessed her body, and said softly: "Madam, the pastry in the eldest young master's room, I just noticed that the food added in it is poisonous. I suspect that someone in our house is trying to kill the eldest young master."

Hearing this, Lin Qingwu tightened his grip on the veil.

Are they so impatient now?
  "Qi Zhen, come in."

Qi Zhen was waiting at the door. He had generally listened to what Miss Lingying said in the room, and the fire in his heart could no longer be suppressed.

"Master, my subordinates are here."

"Go and send this plate of pastries to the old lady. Tell her that someone is planning to kill the young master and ask her how she plans to deal with it."

Lin Qingwu's eyes were calm, and there was no trace of sadness or joy on her face, but the beads in her hand moving faster and faster showed her uneasiness and anger.

"Yes, my subordinates take orders."

After saying that, he took the plate of pastries and went out.

Xu Hengpu was a little anxious. Although he was young, he also noticed that the old lady was not happy with him. If he troubled the old lady with his own affairs again, I was afraid that the old lady would be even more disgusted with him.

"Mother, let's just throw that thing away. Isn't my son fine now? Why bother bothering the old lady? She is old and really shouldn't worry about her son's affairs anymore."

Lin Qingwu was a little helpless. Her son always considered others first no matter what. If he could one day think about himself, he would have truly grown up.

"If the old lady doesn't come forward to suppress this matter, I'm afraid that the person who harmed you behind your back will become more arrogant and arrogant. Today, the cake is poisoned, tomorrow it will be tea, and the day after tomorrow, I am afraid that the knife will be directly on your neck.

You only worry about what other people do, don't you think about your mother? If something goes wrong with you, what should you do to your mother? "

Xu Hengpu lowered his head and said nothing.

He knew that it was his fault to bother his mother...

"That's all, you kid, you will move to the east room of Lanxiao Hall from today on. I want to see if anyone dares to attack you again under my nose."

Lin Qingwu used to think that their hearts were vicious, but he didn't expect that they were so vicious that they couldn't even tolerate a child.

Xu Hengpu's eyes moved slightly, and he moved closer to his mother. Of course he was willing, but he was afraid that he would trouble his mother a lot again.

"Son, thank you mother."
