Chapter 169 Clues
Qu Ruowen heard the words, stood up, and looked down at Wei Lige who was lying peacefully.

"The matter between you and me is just a matter between two people. Besides being your little cousin, I am also a doctor. I will not stand idly by about Peony's matter." Qu Ruowen finished, already carrying the medicine box , walked in the opposite direction from just now, planning to go to Man Ting Fang.

Wei Lige lowered his eyes, and within a short while, he had recovered. He forced himself to raise the corners of his lips, as if he had returned to his original self. He struggled to get up and followed Qu Ruowen step by step.

The shadow cast under her footsteps is very unstable, as if it could disappear at any time. Is it the so-called shadow that follows you everywhere?

The more you get used to being followed, the harder it will be for you to walk in the future.

"Go in front of me." Qu Ruo asked a little irritably.

Wei Lige was startled, and staggered a few steps forward, standing in front of her, while Qu Ruowen, looking back at the entrance of the alley, there was a pile of sundries over there, under the sundries, suddenly a mouse.

Damn mouse, why do you have to let her see it.

"Little cousin, no matter what, thank you for staying." Wei Lige walked staggeringly in front, feeling the familiar footsteps following behind, he covered his chest and said, at this time, there was no pain, but still There is a sense of warmth.

Qu Ruowen didn't answer, just followed behind him, but whether he was in front or behind, she couldn't calm down, but fortunately, Man Tingfang arrived in a blink of an eye.

Although Man Tingfang and Baiweixuan play and eat together, they also have something in common, that is, there are many customers and they are still in the busiest street.

Because of Mudan's accident, many people gathered in Man Tingfang, some were really worried about Mudan, while others continued to have fun.

When Wei Lige stood in front of Man Tingfang's gate, he was already the young master Chun who called the wind and rain, not the weak Wei Lige lying on the ground.

"It's Mr. Wei, please hurry up." The boy at the door saw Wei Lige and went up to greet him. Maybe it was because Bi's mother told him, or the boy knew that Wei Lige was a frequent visitor and also a distinguished guest.

Wei Lige opened the fan and shook it nonchalantly, no one would know what happened to Wei Lige.

"If you ask, go in." Wei Lige turned around and said something to her, very polite, without the slightest hint of a joke, and not as frivolous as when we got along before.

Suddenly, Qu Ruowen became a little strange.

"Young Master Wei, wait a minute, this..." The boy felt a little troubled, after all, Qu Ruowen was from a girl's family, and no girl's family had ever visited a brothel.

"The person I brought, do you still have any worries? If something happens, I will take care of it. Besides, Mama Bi is waiting to thank this girl. You should go and inform Mama Bi." Wei Li Ge was very chic, and walked inside, completely ignoring the boy's obstruction, Qu Ruowen followed behind, and someone charged, so it was naturally smoother.

Wei Lige took Qu Ruowen and went upstairs, turned around a few corridors, and came to a room with a maid guarding the door.

"Is there anyone else in the room besides Peony?" Wei Lige asked.

"Master, Ling'er sister is accompanying the girl inside." The servant girl replied.

Wei Lige opened the door and entered, Qu Ruowen followed behind, the two came to the bedside, Mudan was lying on the bed, her face was still pale, but at least she looked better than before.And beside the bed, there was a servant girl who was taking care of Mudan. It looked like the one who followed Mudan on the street last time. She should be Mudan's personal maid.

"Li Ge, you're here." Mudan wasn't sleeping, she just lay in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking, when she saw Wei Lige, she propped herself up to get up.

"Just lie down, and rest more." Wei Lige pressed Peony's shoulder lightly, persuading her to lie down again.

As soon as Mudan lay down, she saw Qu Ruowen walking out from behind Wei Lige, she couldn't help being startled, but after a closer look, she was somewhat familiar: "This is... your little cousin?"

Seeing Qu Ruowen wearing men's clothing with disheveled hair and carrying a medicine box, even Wei Lige thought it was a bit funny, but he wouldn't touch his brows: "Well, I'm also your savior now."

"It turned out that you saved me." Peony said and wanted to get up again to thank her.

"You just lie down, I just came to check on your condition." Qu Ruo asked and sat down beside the bed, "Do you still feel nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain?"

"No, it's much better, and I can still eat." Peony spoke weakly, but it was much better than suddenly falling down and vomiting.

"That's good." Just now I had an injection and gastric lavage, and the toxins have been almost exhausted. "Have you found out who is framing you?"

Peony shook her head: "I just ate some normal meals today, is there any difference?"

"There are people who usually serve you personally..."

"No, Ling'er and I are sisters, and she is timid, she can't possibly harm me." Before Qu Ruowen finished speaking, Mudan had already defended Ling'er.

Qu Ruowen didn't continue to ask about Ling'er, lest Mudan be suspicious: "Then in the brothel, do other girls have a relationship with you?"

"I'm usually friendly and friendly, and I've never had a big problem with anyone, but brothels are places of right and wrong after all, and it's inevitable that because of the guests, I occasionally quarrel, who steals whose guests, who gets more limelight than whom, Whoever dances better than whom is indispensable every day."

"According to your reaction, it is impossible for you to be poisoned by the level of the poison through the skin or other channels. It should be through the mouth. You have not eaten anything other than dinner?"

Peony thought for a while, then shook her head.

"Then we have to do this first." Qu Ruowen responded verbally, but in his heart he had other considerations.

This is really a stalemate, the only key is Ling'er, but Mudan believes that Ling'er is innocent, so if she secretly investigates others, it will indeed offend others.

In fact, she didn't need to care about other people's affairs, but she faintly felt that this matter was not that simple. If it was just poisoning in a brothel, it would naturally have nothing to do with her, but it happened on the Flower Fairy Festival. Wei Lige's possibility is the most, it doesn't matter if the main envoy is someone else, I'm afraid it will be Yan Weijue, this is the reason why she has to find out.

Qu Ruowen stood up silently, walked around the room, as if admiring it, but actually looked for potted plants in the room.

People who admire elegance usually like to place potted plants in their rooms, and peonies are no exception. On a coffee table by the window, Qu Ruowen saw a pot of orchids.

She reached out to caress the leaves of the orchid, and fixed the picture in the daytime.

During the whole day before departure, Mudan stayed in the house, during which time, the old bustard Man Tingfang came to see her, and then Ling'er, who served Mudan for three meals, stepped across the room, and no one else appeared.

Since the peony ingested a small amount of toxin, the onset did not occur immediately. It could have been delayed, but because the dance of the peony accelerated blood circulation, the poison also spread.And based on the time of the onset, she can be more sure that she must have been poisoned by the rhododendron. The onset time will be about three hours later, and it is entirely possible that she has been poisoned before leaving Man Tingfang.

There was nothing suspicious about this place, so Qu Ruowen had no choice but to give up.

"Peony, he asked me to bring this painting to you. You put it away." When Qu Ruowen returned, Wei Lige was sitting next to Peony. Qu Ruowen didn't listen to what the two had said before. , but the last few words were heard.

Mudan hugged the scroll that Wei Lige gave her, as if she was hugging a loved one, tears welled up in her eyes, before even facing death, Mudan never felt the slightest fear, but now, she has become a tender woman.

This painting is the picture of a drunken beauty, isn't it Wei Lige's painting? Why is there another him suddenly, Qu Ruowen is even more confused.

"Is there anything he wants you to tell me?"

"What kind of person is he? Don't you understand? He will come to you when he finishes handling the matter. When did he break his promise?" Wei Lige patted Peony's hand, determined to get up and leave .

"Farewell." Following Wei Lige getting up, Qu Ruowen also said something.

Mudan wanted to get up to see them off, but Wei Lige politely refused, so she said to the maid at the side: "Ling'er, help me see off Li Ge and his little cousin."

Ling'er nodded, and was about to send it off when laughter came.

"Mr. Wei, why don't you tell Mama Bi when he's here?" As soon as the words fell, Mama Bi had already stepped over the gate with her skirt in her hand, holding an Eight Immortals fan inlaid with gold thread. Mama Bi is a relatively plump person with good skin, but she has more flesh on her body, and her dress and decorations seem to have not considered her age.

"Mother Bi is a very busy person, and I'm an idler, how dare I delay your business." Wei Lige said socially.

As soon as Mama Bi came back, she had asked a doctor to show Mudan again. The doctor prescribed a prescription, and she would be fine if she took the medicine on time, so she opened the door of Man Tingfang and started business again. She didn't know how much money she had lost, so naturally she would not let go of any opportunity to do business.

"Come on, Ling'er, give this bowl of medicine to your girl and feed her." Mama Bi was followed by a maid, holding a tray with a bowl of brown medicine in it.

"Yes, Mom." Ling'er took the medicine bowl from the servant girl and gave it to Mudan to drink. Qu Ruowen didn't worry about anything. This must be the result of her own supervision, and there was nothing wrong with it.

With the help of the maid, Mudan sat up, and Ling'er fed Mudan to drink spoon by spoon.

"Girl, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, my peony would really be..." Mama Bi choked up a few times, wiped her tears, and smiled, "Peony is full of tears." The pillar of Tingfang, if the peony is gone, half of my mother's life will be lost."
