After hearing Juehun's words, Ning Yujin's eyes darkened.
Maybe she really had a villainous heart. Thinking about it, if she hadn't realized that he was poisoned, Juehun would never have thought of telling her about it.
But, he came here specifically just to "do good things"?
Thoughts were running through his mind a thousand times. Ning Yujin looked up at him and suddenly asked: "Didn't the Queen Mother send you to arrest me? Why didn't you arrest me?"
"There are so many reasons." Juehun tilted his neck impatiently, making a slight mechanical "click" sound, and looked at Ning Yujin displeasedly.
Ning Yujin hesitated for a while, then poured a cup of tea from the small coffee table in the carriage: "Juehun, I believe you this time. A man keeps his word. I have solved the problem of 'Tong Ming', and you won't arrest me."
Juehun laughed coldly again: "I will never go back on what I promised."
"Okay." Ning Yujin took a deep breath, bit her finger, stirred it in the tea, and then handed it to Juehun, "I want a drop of your blood, and then drink it in one gulp."
"You don't want to drink?" Juehun raised his finger, made a small slit on his fingertip, and dripped a drop of blood into it.
Ning Yujin shook his head: "I told you, this 'Tongming' is also divided into a master and a deputy. As long as I solve yours, it will not have any impact on me."
"Um."
Juehun nodded, and then drank the blood tea in the cup.
Ning Yujin was thinking about it, but she didn't dare to think too much. She could only ask another question: "Why did the Queen Mother arrest me?"
"Please."
Juehun's correction was met with a smile from Ning Yujin: "Just the same idea."
Juehun paused, and after thinking about it, he had no way to refute, so he replied: "His Royal Highness Prince Ding has been too aggressive recently regarding the Yin family's young prince's affairs and military power matters, and the Queen Mother cannot just sit idly by."
"Sure enough, it's because of these bad things." Ning Yujin had an ugly face, with a slightly angry look between the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.
After Juehun meditated and adjusted his breath, it was confirmed that the "same fate" was lifted.
If he had known that it was as simple as a cup of blood tea, he wouldn't have to put in so much effort.
"Be careful yourself. Besides me, the Queen Mother will definitely send others here, but don't let them take you away."
Otherwise, everything he has done will be in vain.
Ning Yujin nodded, and just when she was about to speak, she saw the curtain of the car window lifted, and a cold wind poured in, blowing towards her face. On the opposite side, Juehun's figure disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Strangely enough, with the cold wind blowing on my face, I didn't feel cold at all.
He reached out to shake Zi Su awake. Not long after, he heard a voice coming from outside: "Miss Third, the Duke's Mansion has arrived."
"Yes." Ning Yujin nodded slightly and looked at Zisu, "Can you leave?"
Zisu stretched out her hand to rub her head and nodded: "I can walk, it's okay."
After saying that, he first raised the curtain and got out of the carriage, then stretched out his hand to support Ning Yujin and walked out of the carriage.
Ning Yujin was worried all the way. It wasn't until she was led into the garden by the maids of the Duke's Mansion and she saw Su Yuehua and Shen Yixuan that she smiled.
The two of them were sitting in a pavilion, which was surrounded by a pink tent and a red charcoal fire was burning inside.
Although it is outdoors, it still feels very warm.
Ning Yujin walked up to meet the two of them and was pulled by Shen Yixuan to sit down quickly: "Hurry up and have a cup of hot wine to warm yourself up."
"Thank you, sister Xuan." Ning Yujin smiled at Shen Yixuan.
She seemed to still have the same quiet, reserved, well-informed look, and she had never changed anything. But when she turned to Su Yuehua next to her, she found that she seemed to be much quieter.
Just like the endlessly flowing river turned into stagnant water, just like the vigorously blooming flowers gradually withered, Su Yuehua greeted Li politely and then drank alone.
Ning Yujin felt distressed and worried, and couldn't help but reach out to hold her hand that was about to pick up the wine glass: "Drink less."
Su Yuehua raised her eyes to look at Ning Yujin, and suddenly smiled: "Xiao Jin'er, can you come and have a drink with me, too?"
With that said, Wu Zi poured a glass of wine and put it into Ning Yujin's hand.
Ning Yujin took the wine, her eyes were serious, and she turned to look at Shen Yixuan: "Sister Xuan..."
Shen Yixuan nodded in understanding, and just as she was about to speak to persuade Su Yuehua, Su Yuehua thrust a glass of wine into her hand: "Come, sister Xuan, let's drink together!"
Shen Yixuan couldn't laugh or cry for a moment.
Su Yuehua picked up her wine, stood up unsteadily, raised the glass high, and said loudly: "I hope we will always be good sisters, I hope our relationship will be the same as before, and I hope no one or anything will affect us. Come, have a drink for the love of the three of us!"
"This girl, how can love be stronger than gold?" Shen Yixuan couldn't help but laugh softly.
Su Yuehua pouted and puffed up her cheeks and said: "What's this? Others haven't used it. I'll use it. If you use it too much, you can use it like this. Those allusions and metaphors have never been used by literati throughout the ages. Who knows how to express another meaning?"
Although it is a fallacy, but just listening to it, there is really nothing wrong with it.
Even Ning Yujin couldn't help but smile: "My godfather will definitely be furious if he hears this theory."
I don't know which part of this sentence touched Su Yuehua. He had just become active due to the alcohol, but he suddenly became sluggish.
She sat down with some disappointment and said softly in a low voice: "He is almost mad at me. I'm afraid now, he wishes he didn't have me as his daughter."
"Smelly girl, what nonsense are you talking about!" Shen Yixuan scolded her with a straight face, "The whole Shengjing City knows that Su Xiangye is crazy about his daughter. Don't tell Su Xiangye if you say this." It’s sad that even I, an outsider, will say a few words about you when I hear you. Why do you say such nonsense to such a grown-up person?”
Seeing that Shen Yixuan was angry, Su Yuehua immediately leaned over with a smile: "Sister Xuan, don't be angry. You are not an outsider. You are my dearest sister. You can say whatever you want and I will listen."
With such a commotion, who else can get angry?
Shen Yixuan reached out and touched Su Yuehua's head, sighed and said, "Yuehua, I'm worried about you being like this."
The smile on Su Yuehua's face paused, and then the corners of her mouth raised even higher: "I'm very good, no one has a better life than me. Don't you think so, Jin'er?"
Ning Yujin's heart skipped a beat. She raised her head and met Su Yuehua's gaze. She was suddenly speechless.
"Okay, okay, don't you want to have a drink together? If you keep doing this, I won't drink anymore." Shen Yixuan saw that the atmosphere was tense and pretended to be serious.
Su Yuehua jumped up quickly, raised his glass and said, "No, you must drink this glass of wine!"
"Then let's learn from those men and have a full drink!"
Shen Yixuan also stood up, and their eyes fell on Ning Yujin.
Ning Yujin also raised her glass and stood up, with a smile on her lips: "As Yuehua said, may our love be stronger than gold."
"Love is stronger than gold!"
"Love is stronger than gold!"
Clink the glasses, raise your head, and drink it all in one gulp.
The alcohol content was not high, but Ning Yujin felt like she was drunk.
So much so that she didn't know if she heard Su Yuehua's "I'm sorry" wrong.
