“Father, you must punish Jiang Hailing severely. Look, she actually poisoned Mother.”
In the past two days, Liu's poison flared up once, and she became much thinner. Jiang Feixue did not want to see that painful scene a second time, so as soon as Jiang Batian returned to the mansion, she and her mother came to complain.
Jiang Batian had fought in countless battles and experienced all sorts of things. As soon as Liu Shi arrived, he knew she had been poisoned, specifically by the Cold Demon Palace's most potent poison, the Thousand-Day Red. But how did she come to possess this poisonous sea lily? A glint flashed in Jiang Batian's eyes.
"Someone, go and invite the Third Miss over."
Jiang Batian glanced at Liu Shi, but did not show any heartache or sadness. He simply gave an order to the outside, and a subordinate outside responded. He then went to the backyard to invite Hai Ling.
Hai Ling was already waiting in Qin Fang Courtyard. As soon as she heard that Jiang Ba Tian had returned to the mansion, she knew that he would definitely call her.
In order to get her mother's antidote, as soon as she heard that Jiang Batian wanted to see her, she led Rouge and followed the man to the study.
In the study.
When Jiang Feixue and Liu Shi saw Hai Ling appear, they gritted their teeth and wished they could tear her apart alive. Jiang Batian, on the other hand, was much calmer. Or rather, this man had no heart at all and would not change just because the object of his affections was Liu Shi. Hai Ling smiled sarcastically and looked at Jiang Batian with neither arrogance nor servility.
"I wonder why Father sent someone to summon me here?"
"You actually poisoned your aunt?"
"Yes, globe amaranth."
Hai Ling had no intention of hiding it from him. Besides, with Jiang Batian's shrewdness, he must have known, which was why he sent someone to inform her: "Since she dared to poison my mother with the Western Blood Gu, what's wrong with me poisoning her with the Thousand-Day Red?"
He finished speaking with a cold tone, staring directly at Jiang Batian.
She wasn't afraid of him. So what if he was powerful or fierce?
"I?"
Upon hearing Hai Ling's words, Liu opened her mouth as if to say something, but then, noticing the look Jiang Batian was giving her, she closed her mouth again.
Hai Ling couldn't possibly miss this tiny gesture. She knew that Liu wanted to say that she hadn't administered the blood poison, but so what? She knew that the blood poison wasn't administered by her, but by Jiang Ba Tianxia. However, she was smart enough not to say it and instead pinned the blame on Liu.
Jiang Batian's expression relaxed a little, a profound look flashing in his eyes, and he slowly said, "After your wedding, I will remove the curse from your mother."
“You,” Hai Ling gritted her teeth, glaring at Jiang Batian as she thought of her mother’s pain. However, seeing his resolute expression, she knew he wouldn’t remove the curse from her mother at this time. He seemed to know that she didn’t want to marry into the Crown Prince’s mansion, so he wanted to use her mother to make her marry into the Crown Prince’s mansion.
In fact, she had already figured it out; it was better to go to the Crown Prince's residence than to stay here.
"good."
Hai Ling nodded in agreement. Jiang Batian seemed quite satisfied with her attitude. He took out a small packet of powder from his person and placed it on the table in front of him: "This is the food for feeding that blood gu. Take it back. Your mother's gu poison will not take effect for a while. If you marry into the Crown Prince's mansion, I will cure her gu."
The reason he instructed Liu to use a curse on Du Caiyue was because he knew Jiang Hailing didn't want to marry into the Crown Prince's residence. That's why he used Du Caiyue to control Jiang Hailing and force her to marry into the Crown Prince's residence.
Rouge quickly stepped forward, took the powder, and stepped back.
Hailin didn't want to stay. Seeing this disgusting family, she turned around and prepared to leave.
When Jiang Feixue saw Hai Ling about to leave, she panicked and shouted at Jiang Batian, "Father, make her hand over the antidote, the poison that poisoned Mother?"
Jiang Batian raised an eyebrow and looked at Jiang Hailing: "Where is the antidote for the Globe Amaranth?"
"Once you cure my mother of the poison, I will give her the antidote for the Globe Amaranth."
She wouldn't give any first. That woman Liu was too hateful; she'd let her suffer the pain of needle pricks. Who told her to always bully her and her daughter in the past? This was the price she had to pay.
After Hailing finished speaking, she turned and left without even looking at the people in the room. Yanzhi quickly followed in her footsteps.
Inside the study, Jiang Feixue cried anxiously, "Father, how could you give her the antidote? What will happen to Mother?"
At this moment, she was so worried about her mother's illness that she had completely forgotten about Hailing's marriage to the Crown Prince.
Jiang Batian's expression remained unchanged as he slowly spoke, "Xue'er, help your mother back. After your third sister's wedding, there will be an antidote. Qianrihong will be fine for the time being."
"Is it Mother?"
Jiang Feixue's heart was filled with despair. Her father was so cold and heartless. Didn't he see that her mother had lost a lot of weight? She was the woman he cared about most. Could he just stand by and watch her suffer?
However, Jiang Batian ignored her because he had other things to do next, so he looked at Jiang Feixue.
"Alright, help your mother back. Your father won't let anything happen to her."
Jiang Feixue dared not refute, gritted her teeth, and reached out to help Liu Shi leave the study. Liu Shi walked with difficulty, partly because she was tormented by the Thousand Day Red and her body was weak, and partly because she was heartbroken to see Jiang Batian so cold-blooded and ruthless.
As soon as the mother and daughter went out, a maid came to help them.
When Liu returned to her residence, she ordered everyone to leave. She saw that her daughter's face had turned green with anger, so she quickly reached out and pulled her away.
"Mother is alright."
“What pains me most is my father. He was such a cold-blooded person. I always thought of him as my dearest and most beloved father.”
Jiang Feixue cried sadly, and Madam Liu reached out and stroked her daughter's head: "He has always been this kind of person, you just didn't know it. Alright, Mother is fine now, you should go back and rest. Anyway, Mother will be alright. After the wedding, won't there be an antidote?"
Jiang Feixue knew that her continued sadness would only upset her mother, so she nodded, instructed a few maids to take good care of her mother, and led them out.
As soon as she stepped out of the room, Jiang Feixue's features twisted into a hideous and terrifying expression. "Jiang Hailing, how dare you poison my mother! I'll kill you!"
And the Crown Prince's wedding is just a few days away. Does she really have no chance? No, she is not resigned to it. Now her father seems determined to have her marry into the Crown Prince's household. So what about her? Does she really have no chance at all?
A cold, bloodthirsty smile curled at the corners of Jiang Feixue's lips as she turned and walked towards Jiang Feiyu's courtyard...
After hearing Xi Lingfeng's words, Hai Ling felt at ease waiting to get married and preparing to enter the Crown Prince's residence. Firstly, she would only need to deal with the Crown Prince in the future, and secondly, she could exchange the antidote for her mother.
Several days passed quickly, and in those few days, she finally mastered the last move of the Eighteen Golden Flower Forms: the Blooming Golden Flower.
