Last night, those who had gone out with her, naturally knew what Yang Chuxia was going to do today. When Yang Chuxia left the mansion, they all followed.
At this mont, several people scattered around rely saw Yang Chuxia, like a proud plum in winter, kneeling resolutely in front of everyone, neither servile nor haughty, as if the increasingly nurous onlookers around her did not exist.
"Who is this? Why is she kneeling here?"
"I don’t know. By the looks of it, she must be a lady of a reputable family. Has sothing extraordinary happened? Why is she kneeling here?"
"Oh, isn’t this the wife of our Prefect, Lord Ye? Why is she suddenly kneeling here?" A wave of voices ca, and finally, soone recognized Yang Chuxia.
Yang Chuxia did not look sideways, but she could recognize the voice and rember it belonged to the wife of the Prefectural Magistrate of Shandong, whose rank was just below Brother An’s. She hadn’t been prominent before, but ever since learning of Brother An’s illness, the Prefectural Magistrate’s family had beco active, seemingly ready to take their place. Naturally, seeing her here today, she was bound to say a few words out of curiosity and perhaps to see the joke.
However, Yang Chuxia was not in the mood to deal with her as a quarter of two hours had not yet passed. She could only hope that person would keep their promise to give her the item.
In a teahouse, a man in green silently watched the scene below, his heart slightly shaken. So it was true that not all won in this world were alike. So were stubborn and would rather die than yield, so were selfish and weak, preferring to cling to life rather than dare to resist, and others were like kites, going wherever the string in soone’s hand would lead them.
"Xiaxia, what are you doing? Get up quickly." Mu Shaoling, who had been preparing the dicine at Mu’s Clinic, also learned about Yang Chuxia’s situation and imdiately left his work to co over.
Sure enough, he saw Yang Chuxia kneeling straight in the middle of the street.
"I will tell you about this later. It’s important. Just stand aside for now," Yang Chuxia finally spoke for the first ti when she saw him. "It should only be another one hour."
Mu Shaoling furrowed his brows slightly, looking at the people whispering to one another. He wanted to pull her up but was afraid that it might ruin Yang Chuxia’s plans.
He had no choice but to stand aside.
Ti ticked away, and finally, two hours passed. Without anyone’s help, Yang Chuxia stood up, then looked around. Her gaze finally rested on the teahouse, and although through the window, Yang Chuxia always felt that person must be there, watching her closely.
Without lingering, Yang Chuxia got on the carriage and headed not back to the mansion but to Mu’s Clinic.
"What happened?" Upon reaching Mu’s Clinic, Mu Shaoling imdiately asked eagerly.
"The person behind the poisoning," Yang Chuxia cald herself and said, "If I kneel in the marketplace for two hours for three consecutive days, he will tell what the remaining two poisons are."
"What!" Mu Shaoling’s eyes widened in helpless fury.
"Don’t let Brother An know about this."
"...Okay!"
By the ti Yang Chuxia got ho, Lele and Yangyang were both by Brother An’s side, and the two little buns were placed in the little cart, taking turns being pushed by the three adults. Seeing this, Yang Chuxia breathed a sigh of relief, it seed they had kept the secret.
The next day, Yang Chuxia arrived in the center of the street as agreed.
For so reason, however, it seed that soone knew what she was doing.
"Hey, have you heard?"
"What?"
