Chapter 256 Green Tea Selfish Cousin 25
Shen Weicang vomited blood and fell into a coma. Lan did not stay in Chaoyun Garden. She sent someone to invite a doctor and left a maid to monitor the situation and report at any time.
She returned to Lanxinyuan, and she really couldn't figure it out: "Where did she go today? Why did she vomit blood?"
It's really useless. If you can't prevent others from harming you, just go out less. Now you've hurt yourself like this. Fortunately, Xie Wanheng won't be back in the near future, otherwise he would blame me for this again.
Nanny Jin stood beside her and answered in a low voice, "They said he went to the Marquis of Pingnan's mansion."
"Marquis Pingnan's Mansion?" Lan was a little puzzled. "Isn't Marquis Pingnan still in Pingzhou? How could she know someone from Marquis Pingnan's Mansion?"
"The daughter of Marquis Pingnan returned to the capital a while ago," Nanny Jin didn't know the whole story, "and I don't know when she met Miss Tan."
Lan felt impatient that Shen Weicang was trying to get out of control, but she was also confused: "Why did the young lady from Pingnan Marquis's Mansion poison her? What connection do they have?"
Shen Weicang has hardly gone out since he came to Chen State, and the young lady of Pingnan Marquis's Mansion grew up in Pingzhou. How could the two of them have the chance to meet?
Just as Nanny Jin was about to say something, a maid suddenly came in and reported, "Madam, the Imperial Master is here."
"National Master?" Lan and Jin Ma looked at each other. "The general has not been at home these days. Who is he going to see?"
Tan Yuan and the General's Mansion have never interfered with each other. Could it be that he came to see Xie Wanheng?
But Xie Wanheng and Xie Zheng took people to inspect the garrisons near the capital today. It will take at least half a month for them to return to the capital. Doesn’t Tan Yuan know?
The maid lowered her head and said, "The Imperial Master went to Chaoyun Garden. He seemed to be looking for Miss Shen."
Lan was startled and couldn't help but stand up. When did Shen Weicang know Tan Yuan?
She had a bad feeling and hurried back to Chaoyun Garden with her people.
Shen Weicang was still in a coma, his face was pale and his lips were bloodless, like a delicate flower that could lose its vitality at any time.
Tan Yuan, dressed in black gorgeous clothes, was sitting beside her bed taking her pulse. He didn't react when he saw Lan come in. After a long time, he gently let go of Shen Weicang's hand and covered her with the quilt.
Lan took the initiative and said, "Why did the Imperial Master suddenly come to Xie's house? It's not appropriate for him to break into the boudoir of an unmarried woman without permission."
Tan Yuan fed a pill into Shen Weicang's mouth as if no one was around, and pressed lightly on her lips with his slender fingers, which made Lan frightened.
Shen Weicang's face was really alluring, and he actually made Tan Yuan fall in love with him. She secretly resented it in her heart. She thought everything would be fine as long as Xie Wanheng was not in the capital, but someone even more cruel and ruthless came.
"Mrs. Xie is so harsh to her niece," Tan Yuan's voice was low and pleasant, but the tone was very gloomy, "Do you think she is alone here and no one can make decisions for her?"
Lan felt very wronged: "I have nothing to do with her being poisoned this time. She ran out to play by herself and was not alert. How can you blame me for being poisoned?"
Tan Yuan's fox eyes stared at her coldly. Lan felt as if she was being stared at by a wild beast, but her sight seemed to be firmly sucked in and she couldn't look away.
She didn't come back to normal until she felt a sharp pain in her neck. She lowered her eyes and saw a black snake with vertical pupils spitting out its tongue at her.
She realized belatedly that she had been bitten by a snake. Suddenly, fear and resentment surged into her heart. She reached out to touch the wound on her neck and then put it in front of her eyes to look at it.
I thought I would see his hands covered in blood, but unexpectedly his hands were very clean, without even a trace of blood.
Tan Yuan's words increased her fear:
"I'll teach you a little lesson. Don't think that Cang Cang has no one to protect you now, and don't think that I won't dare to touch you just because you are the princess of Yan State. If I want to kill you, there are countless ways for no one to find me."
Lan was trembling all over and stammering, "Is this snake poisonous?"
Tan Yuan ignored her and turned around to continue treating Shen Weicang, leaving her to faint.
The black snake flicked its tail and crawled off her body. The maid then dared to come forward to help Lan up and bring her back to Lanxin Garden.
The doctor who came to treat Shen Weicang was dragged to Lanxin Garden before he even stepped into Chaoyun Garden, saying that their wife was bitten by a snake.
The doctor was very surprised: "Why was you bitten by a snake again?"
Could the General's Mansion be a snake's den? Where did so many snakes come from? It's almost winter, shouldn't the snakes be hibernating already?
Shen Weicang opened his eyes and saw Tan Yuan sitting beside his bed. He was a little surprised and wanted to get up: "Tan Yuan, why are you here?"
As soon as he moved, he gasped: "What's wrong with me? My whole body hurts."
Tan Yuan quickly stopped her from moving: "Cang Cang, don't move. You need to rest more now."
He gently held Shen Weicang's hand: "Did you go to Pingnan Marquis' Mansion today?"
Shen Weicang nodded, his face pale and weak, and asked him with some doubt:
"I remember my stomach hurt a lot after I came back, and then I didn't know anything. What happened?"
Tan Yuan looked at her tenderly, feeling somewhat relieved that Cang Cang had finally learned to protect herself.
Although these tricks can be easily exposed, a girl as innocent as her would never come up with any complicated tricks, so he would naturally solve all her problems.
He couldn't help but sigh. Even if he resisted, the only ways he could think of were to hurt himself. He didn't dare to attack others directly. How could he feel at ease?
The disapproving expression on Tan Yuan's face was genuine at this time: "Cang Cang, when did you meet Tan Wu Ning?"
"She sent me a letter yesterday, saying that she wanted to invite me to visit her," Shen Weicang's voice was a little weak, "I haven't had a good friend since I came to Chen State, so I went."
She was a little bored lying there, and struggled to sit up. Tan Yuan had no choice but to sit over and hold her, letting her lean on his arms, and continued to ask: "But what did you eat at the Tan family?"
Shen Weicang thought for a moment and said, "I drank a cup of tea and then ate some snacks. Tan Yuan, is there something wrong with these things?"
Tan Yuan was afraid that she would be cold, so he stretched out his hands and completely embraced her in his arms, nodded and said: "You were poisoned, so you have abdominal pain and vomiting blood."
Shen Weicang was a little surprised: "How could it be poisonous?"
She thought about it seriously:
"Duo'er originally wanted to test the poison for me, but I didn't let her. Miss Tan also said that she is the only legitimate master in the Pingnan Marquis's Mansion now, and there aren't so many servants with ulterior motives."
Tan Yuan knew that she was lying, but he still felt distressed when he saw her pale and sickly face. He couldn't help but reach out to help her tidy up the hair sticking to her cheek:
"Tan Wuning likes Xie Wanheng, and she must not want to see him with other women, so she wants to harm you."
He heard all this from Yan Qizhao, although he couldn't figure out what the connection was between Tan Wuning and Xie Wanheng.
Shen Weicang couldn't help but shudder: "But Wan Heng and I have already..."
She grasped Tan Yuan's hand with dependence:
"That day Wan Heng said he wanted to marry me, and I agreed. I didn't know Miss Tan liked him. I really didn't know, otherwise I wouldn't have agreed to Wan Heng's request."
Tan Yuan hurriedly comforted her: "I understand, Cang Cang, don't worry, this is not your fault, it's all because Xie Wanheng hooked up with someone and caused you to suffer."
Shen Weicang lowered his head somewhat sadly:
"I have no relatives here, and my only relative is also lying to me. I thought that day when Wan Heng said he loved me so seriously, I would have someone to rely on, but I didn't expect..."
Seeing her so sad, Tan Yuan was filled with dissatisfaction towards Tan Wu Ning and Xie Wan Heng. He raised his hand and gently wiped her tears:
"Don't be sad, Cang Cang. If Xie Wanheng can't rely on you, you still have me. Don't worry, I will definitely seek justice for you."
