Chapter 136

In such an occasion, Xu Yuan did not want to reprimand in public, but just said lightly.

"Go back first."

Cui Liu followed Xu Yuan, and kept looking at her face with the corner of her eyes on the way.

It was not until they were about to reach the yard that Cui Liu asked Xu Yuan nervously, "Miss, but what did I say wrong just now?"

"Miss, do you know what my identity is now?"

After returning to the yard, Xu Yuan said to Cui Liu,

"I am the Marquis's wife."

Xu Yuan nodded, "Since you know my identity, how can you say that I have anything to do with the Regent?"

"Do you know the identity of the Regent, and what consequences will be caused if your words are spread out?"

Cui Liu was sincere, but she was too reckless in some actions. Once her recklessness was caught by others, it would only ruin things.

Xu Yuan frowned, maybe she should find another place for Cui Liu.

Cui Liu was horrified when she heard this, and she quickly apologized to Xu Yuan, "Miss, please forgive me. I just said something wrong, and I won't do it again in the future."

"Cui Liu, I will only give you one chance. If you can't change your reckless habits, you don't have to stay by my side in the future."

Xu Yuan said this in advance. Now she has changed some of the established trends in her previous life, and she also deeply understands that some small actions will often lead to bigger troubles.

She dare not stop it, and she can't afford to stop it.

If Cui Liu can't change these bad habits, it will not be a good thing to keep her by her side.

Instead of procrastinating, she prefers to cut the Gordian knot now.

"I...I understand."

Cui Liu has been with Xu Yuan for many years, and she also knows the temperament of her young lady. Since she said so, there is no room for reversal.

"Miss, the master asks you to go over."

The maid's report came, and Xu Yuan hummed lightly, thinking of Ye Siyan's visit to the mansion, wondering if it has anything to do with this.

She came to the study, and as soon as she entered, she saw Ye Siyan holding a child.

Xu Yuan couldn't help but be a little surprised. You know, her father has been holding the child all this time, so why would he hand the child over to Ye Siyan?

There must be something strange here.

"Father, what is the matter with you calling me here?"

Xu Yuan looked in the direction of Xu Jing, with a puzzled tone in her tone.

"Yuan'er, there is something that your father and the regent want to discuss with you."

"Hmm?"

Xu Yuan looked at the two of them at the same time, always feeling that what the two were talking about was unusual.

"The king wants to take Yi'er back to the palace."

"Why?"

Xu Yuan was stunned, obviously hesitant. If this wasn't the Duke's Mansion and she wasn't in the study, she would have almost gone up and taken the child back.

"Look here."

Ye Siyan knew that Xu Yuan would not agree easily. He lifted up the clothes on Yi'er's arm, and saw that there were several red spots on the white arm.

Xu Yuan's pupils suddenly shrank, and her figure staggered a few steps.

At the beginning, she had reached a cooperation with Ye Siyan on the matter of treatment, and when she saw these red spots, she knew very well what they were.

Frost poison.

But how could Yi'er have it? The more Xu Yuan thought about it, the more she felt uneasy. You know, there is almost no antidote to this poison. If it wasn't for a coincidence in the previous life, I'm afraid...

Yi'er is so young, how could he get this disease.

Xu Yuan suddenly thought of Yi'er's sudden fever some time ago. At that time, she felt that the symptoms were similar to frost poison, but she didn't dare to confirm it directly.

Now it seems...

Xu Yuan quickly stepped forward and immediately took the child away from Ye Siyan's arms. Her face was cold, and even with strong hostility, she asked Ye Siyan, "Your Highness the Regent, what do you want to say?"

"Xu Yuan..."

Xu Yuan didn't want to listen to Ye Siyan's words anymore. She picked up Yi'er and left directly.

Back in the yard, Xu Yuan asked the wet nurse and the old woman to leave and closed the door.

The sudden scene shocked everyone.

The nurse looked at Cui Liu in confusion, "Miss Cui Liu, what happened to the young lady?"

Cui Liu was also puzzled by Xu Yuan's sudden condition. She remembered that the young lady was fine before going to the study, but why did she become abnormal after coming back?

Could it be that something happened in the study?

Just when everyone was wondering what happened, Xu Jing and Ye Siyan came together.

"Master, the young lady asked us to go out and not let us get close to the house."

After Xu Jing asked, the nurse told Xu Jing what happened just now.

Cui Liu was also worried, "Master, what happened?"

Having been with the young lady for so long, except for the exchange, she had never seen her young lady have such strong emotional fluctuations.

Xu Jing sighed lightly, looking at the closed room, and didn't know what to say for a while.

Yi'er is his grandson. How can he, as a grandfather, feel good when he is in such a condition?

It is precisely because of this that he wants to resolve the matter as soon as possible.

Xu Jing said to Cui Liu and the nurse, "You all should leave. Don't gather here."

"Your Highness, I will tell my daughter about Yi'er. She needs more time to digest it."

Ye Siyan nodded.

He was poisoned by the frost poison, and because of this, he knew the pain when the poison took effect. If he hadn't seen those small spots, he would not have been able to confirm it.

The same small mole, as well as the frost poison, made Ye Siyan's guess deeper.

Next...

"Duke Xu, I will come another day."

Ye Siyan knew that staying here would not help at all, and might even make the situation worse.

Instead of that, it would be better...

Xu Jing nodded in agreement.

Inside the house.

Xu Yuan looked at the child in her arms, and at the same time, she also heard the conversation of the people outside.

Her Yi'er finally got through the baby swap safely, and was not abused by Lu Rou again like in the previous life.

How could the frost poison happen again?

Xu Yuan felt heavy-hearted. Could it be that the death of the child in the previous life was not entirely due to Lu Rou's abuse, but was affected by the frost poison.

Five years old. The child in the previous life only lived for five years. The more Xu Yuan thought about it, the more she felt like countless needles were stabbing her heart.

Her child not only had to endure abuse, but also had to be tortured by the frost poison, but she, as a mother, had to... When

Xu Yuan thought of this, she was enveloped by guilt and self-blame.

Now... Yi'er's frost poison...

Xu Yuan looked at the red spots on the child's arm, and her heart softened.

Even though she knows medical skills, Yi'er is still so young. Even if she needs treatment, she must wait until she is three years old.

But now the symptoms have already begun to appear. If she lets it develop, who knows if there will be other problems when she is three years old.

The most important thing is, if Yi'er can't survive until the age of five like in her previous life, then she...

Xu Yuan couldn't accept it for a while. Her Yi'er shouldn't be like this.

There must be another way.
