In the room, Yu Weiyin and Yao Xiang were still waiting for news about Shao Mo.
By the time Xu arrived, Yao Xiang's eyelids were already twitching, and her head was almost hanging down on the desk.
Yu Weiyin turned off the lamp on the desk and ordered Yao Xiang to sleep on the couch.
At first, Yao Xiang had to wait with Yu Weiyin, but then she couldn't bear it anymore, so she got into bed and fell asleep.
Yu Weiyin was sitting in front of the window. Through the snow-white window paper, the moon was hidden and the stars were sinking outside. It was pitch black. Only the sound of wind blew by, which frightened her for no reason.
At three o'clock in the morning, Yu Weiyin could not hold on any longer. He gritted his teeth and secretly pulled out the silver hairpin from his bun, and poked it with his tender fingers.
The sharp pain instantly drove away all sleepiness.
Yu Weiyin braced herself, frowned, and listened to the movement outside the window. Finally she heard slight footsteps, but she was not sure if it was Shao Mo, so she did not dare to make a sound.
There was a light tap of fingertips on the edge of the window, making a clicking sound and a subtle thud, like water splashing from a spring.
Then, Shao Mo's deliberately lowered voice came, "Miss, I have something to report."
"Wait for me for a moment."
Yu Weiyin thought for a while, changed into a coat, and put on a veil before opening the door and going out.
The two of them walked to the inaccessible bamboo forest in the temple, and after confirming that there was no one around, Shao Mo said softly: "Miss, it was true, she stayed there all night, and at a quarter of the hour, the maid in Miss Er's room walked out and went straight to the pavilion.
.
"The maid put arsenic in one of the barrels of porridge."
Although he had expected what she was going to do, Yu Weiyin's heart still sank.
In her previous life, the arsenic killed a dozen refugees. Everyone was very angry and wanted to escort her to the government office. It was her father who spent nearly ten thousand taels of silver to get through and save her.
"She marked the edge of the barrel with cinnabar. I believe that the bucket of porridge will be served by the lady tomorrow."
Shao Mo's voice was low, no different from usual, but there was a hidden anger in his heart.
Is this a rich lady's game? For the sake of so-called winning or losing, the lives of homeless people are put at risk.
In the darkness, although he couldn't see Yu Weiyin's expression clearly, he guessed that she was probably sneering, right?
Now that she has seen through the concubine's trick, she will definitely choose another barrel tomorrow.
A vast chill surged through Yu Weiyin's heart, and he curled his slender fingers tightly. In his previous life, those dozen people lost their lives inexplicably.
Did they have any hatred before they died? Could they be as lucky as her and live another life?
Yu Weiyin sighed secretly, and a layer of mist appeared in her eyes. Fortunately, in the darkness, no one would see her. She whispered: "Shao Mo, stretch out your hand."
Shao Mo didn't know why, so he did as he was told. Soon, a slightly cold hand touched him and placed a package on his palm.
A light touch, like a butterfly resting for a moment, then fluttering its wings and flying away. Those slight itches rippled in his palm like ripples.
"Pour this medicinal powder into two buckets and mix evenly."
"This is……"
"This is Qudu Powder, which is made by grinding raw licorice, lotus root, melon pedicle, scrophulariaceae, Sanguisorba and other herbs. If you sprinkle it into the porridge, it will immediately eliminate the toxicity of arsenic."
Shao Mo felt shocked in his heart, "What did the lady say, did you throw both buckets into it?"
Yu Weiyin nodded, "Just in case, sprinkle Qudu Powder into both buckets to avoid hurting people's lives."
Shao Mo's tightly pursed lips loosened slightly and asked, "Why don't you, Miss, treat the other person the way you treat him? Wouldn't this make the Second Miss' reputation even more ruined?"
"What are the monks to blame? What are the refugees to blame?"
She does regard Yu Chutian as her enemy, and she does have a sworn hatred for Yu Chutian, but this is their business and has nothing to do with anyone else.
Let her regard human life as nothing for the sake of revenge. She can't do it, and she doesn't want to do it.
She laughed, "Do you think my temper has become so bad..."
Before he finished speaking, his whole body suddenly felt suspended in the air. Immediately afterwards, someone hugged her waist. Shao Mo immediately took her into the rockery cave, pressed her against the cave wall, and covered her with his big palm.
On her lips.
Smelling the masculine scent on his body that was as cold as the wilderness, her heart beat like a drum and her breath tightened suddenly.
Her hands hurriedly tried to push his chest, but she felt him leaning over her ear, and his voice was muffled, making it especially mute.
"Miss, there are novice monks on patrol...don't say anything."
Yu Weiyin didn't dare to move anymore. He listened carefully to the movement outside and heard the sound of someone walking. After a moment, he vaguely caught a glimpse of a young novice monk walking forward, carrying a gauze lantern.
With the dim yellow light, Yu Weiyin hurriedly raised his eyes to look at Shao Mo, only to see that he was also staring at her, his eyes were deep and bottomless.
When the light dissipated, she could see nothing clearly.
But he was able to accurately pull her into the rockery that night. Presumably, his eyesight was better than mine.
Wouldn't that mean that all her expressions were in his eyes? Yu Weiyin couldn't help but blush and feel hot when he thought about it, and he didn't even know where to put his eyes.
This feeling of being stared at and spied on is too painful.
She couldn't help but reach out, and then she realized that her hands had been placed on Shao Mo's solid chest. The skin under her palms was hot, like a soldering iron. She was so scared that she hurriedly ran away.
At this time, Shao Mo let go of her in time and stepped aside.
"Mo Duo has offended me, please forgive me, Miss."
In the darkness, she always felt that those deep eyes were staring at her, the warmth of his palm was still lingering on her waist, and there was even a bit of cold breath lingering in her nose.
Yu Weiyin clenched his hands. He had never been so nervous before.
In my previous life, when I got along with Zhao Wushan, I was never so flustered.
She turned slightly to avoid the scorching gaze, and tried her best to calm her voice, "It happened suddenly. It's okay. Let's go back to the room."
Shao Mo stood in the stone cave, staring at the slender figure disappearing at the end of the path, feeling a little puzzled and a little nervous in his heart.
He stretched out his palms and closed his eyes slightly. The touch of the woman's slender waist was unforgettable. In the dark, her panicked expression could not escape his sharp eyes.
Although he pressed her against the stone wall to hide her from others, he also wanted to tease her. If she had fallen in love with him, she should have taken the bait easily. Why was she so helpless?
Is it possible that just because this is the pure land of Buddhism, it is difficult for her to overcome the morality and conscience in her heart?
After struggling for most of the night, Yu Weiyin returned to his room and lay down to take a nap. He woke up after hearing the morning bell.
She reorganized the thoughts in her mind and woke up the scent of locust on the couch.
"Ah, don't grab my sweet-scented osmanthus cake! Otherwise, look at my power..."
Yaoxiang was sleeping deeply and talking in her sleep. Yu Weiyin couldn't help but laugh, and leaned over to tease her, "Yaoxiang, I prepared almond cake, walnut cake, scallion pancake, and pear cheese for you.
