From a slave to the Great Qian Martial Saint

"I have met Second Madam."

"Huh? It's you."

Xiao Fengxiao was also taken aback when she saw Chen Shi enter.

Why is this slave driving her tonight?

However, he didn't have time to think too much about it. He looked at Yun'er in his arms with an extremely solemn expression.

"What's wrong with Sister Yun'er...?"

Seeing Yun'er lying in Xiao Fengxiao's arms, her eyes closed, her face flushed, and her breathing rapid, Chen Shi couldn't help but ask a question.

Is he sick?

But she was fine just now, how did she suddenly get sick?

And judging from her appearance, she seems to be in a lot of pain.

"She's been poisoned."

Just as he was wondering, Xiao Fengxiao said in a deep voice.

"Poisoning!"

Chen Shi's eyes widened. How could he have been poisoned?

"Poisoning is not like being sick; it can be fatal," Chen Shi quickly said.

"Let's go straight to the clinic!"

"It's too late!"

Xiao Fengxiao stopped Chen Shi and sighed softly.

"And doctors can't cure this poison."

"What kind of poison is this? It's incredibly potent."

"Hehuan San" (a traditional Chinese medicine formula).

"Aphrodisiac Powder? That's quite a name..."

Chen Shi was stunned. He suddenly remembered that the aphrodisiac Xiao Fengxiao had given him before was called the Hehuan Pill.

Could this aphrodisiac powder also be...?

"What I gave you before was pills, and they only had medicinal effects without any toxicity. After taking them, you would only feel intense desire, but they would not endanger your life."

Xiao Fengxiao spoke again, his voice filled with helplessness.

"But this aphrodisiac is different; if sexual intercourse isn't performed immediately, the poisoned person will explode and die!"

"How could this happen? Isn't Sister Yun'er in great danger?"

"It is indeed dangerous, so I let you in."

"I don't have the antidote, even if I go in..."

Chen Shi paused again, staring wide-eyed at Xiao Fengxiao.

Did she let him?

"Second Madam, how can this be? How can I..."

Suddenly realizing what was happening, Chen Shi panicked and quickly refused.

"Stop talking nonsense! Yun'er has been poisoned for a while now. If we delay any longer, she'll die!"

"But!"

"That's bullshit!"

Xiao Fengxiao gave a cold shout and reached out to grab Chen Shi.

Then, Xiao Fengxiao turned to Yun'er and sighed helplessly.

"Yun'er, this is to save your life, please don't blame me."

"Second Grandma! There must be another way, think of something else..."

"What a load of rubbish!"

Ignoring Chen Shi's squeals, Xiao Fengxiao kicked him hard in the buttocks.

"What are you all standing there for? Get him!"

This kick was somewhat driven by personal grudges.

Caught off guard, Chen Shi suddenly collapsed onto Yun'er.

"Sister Yun'er! I..."

Chen Shi froze, not daring to move.

But the next moment, when he saw Yun'er's furrowed brows and her pink face filled with pain, Chen Shi was startled again.

It seems that Yun'er is indeed on the verge of death.

As a man, what else can I do in this situation?

Saving lives is the priority!

……

"You bastard, you don't know how to care about people at all."

Xiao Fengxiao cursed, then sighed helplessly.

Yun'er has really been wronged this time.

While annoyed, Xiao Fengxiao couldn't help but feel a little itchy.

Spitting out and turning his head, Xiao Fengxiao calmed down a little, his face darkening again.

Someone actually dared to poison her!

Although it was Yun'er who was poisoned, what use was it to poison a maid? Xiao Fengxiao pondered that the person who poisoned her was probably targeting her, but Yun'er just happened to be the one who blocked it.

"That glass of wine!"

Xiao Fengxiao recalled that when they were at the Marquis of Dingyuan's residence, they were playing cards and drinking. Yun'er was helping to watch the cards, and she casually gave Yun'er two cups of wine.

Could it be that those two cups of wine were laced with aphrodisiac?

"That must be it!"

The more Xiao Fengxiao thought about it, the more likely it seemed. He was almost certain that the problem lay with those two glasses of wine.

The wine was provided by the wife of the Marquis of Dingyuan's family, how could it be poisoned?

Who could possibly poison the food in the Marquis's residence?

This is really strange.

"Hmph! Don't let me catch you!"

Xiao Fengxiao snorted coldly. No matter who it was, she would not let them get away with it if they tried to harm her.

However, this matter involves the Marquis of Dingyuan's residence, so an investigation might be quite troublesome.

After a moment of contemplation, Xiao Fengxiao noticed that Yun'er's commotion was gradually increasing, which made him even more agitated.

Yun'er was her personal maid. They had grown up together since childhood and followed her to the Jing'an Marquis's mansion. Although they were mistress and servant, they were as close as sisters.

Gu Chengze, that lecherous devil, not only took his own maid as a concubine, but also wanted to take advantage of Yun'er. It was Xiao Fengxiao who kept stopping him.

Originally, I wanted to find a good home for Yun'er, but I never expected that I would end up taking this disaster for her and end up benefiting a lowly riding slave!

But to save her life, she had no choice but to accept it. Xiao Fengxiao thought about how to make amends later.

More than half an hour later, Yun'er's poison was finally released.

Once she regained consciousness, Yun'er frantically clutched her collar, curled up in a corner of the carriage, and wept uncontrollably.

"Sister Yun'er, I..."

Chen Shi stood up, looking at Yun'er who was sobbing uncontrollably, his face also filled with guilt.

Although it was done to save her, it ultimately ruined her reputation.

"Alright, you two, things have come to this, what are you still being so coy about?"

Xiao Fengxiao spoke, then looked at Chen Shi and said.

"Although you gained a huge advantage, you did save Yun'er's life after all. Tell me, what reward do you want?"

"reward?"

Chen Shi was taken aback, and a sense of panic welled up inside him.

He then remembered Gu Chengze's words.

"I don't want any reward!"

Suddenly snapping out of his daze, Chen Shi quickly said...

He couldn't just follow what Gu Chengze had taught him.

"I don't want the reward. I was originally going to give you a hundred or so taels of silver, but I didn't expect you to be so ungrateful. It makes me think more highly of you."

Xiao Fengxiao smiled and nodded.

"Since that's the case, I won't reward you with money, but I'll do you a favor. It just so happens that my courtyard is currently short of a servant, so starting tomorrow, you will come to work in my courtyard."

"What?!"

Chen Shi's eyes widened instantly, and he froze on the spot.

"Once you're in my courtyard, you're one of my people. Besides, you and Yun'er have this relationship now, so for Yun'er's sake, I'll naturally treat you even better."

Thinking Chen Shi was just too happy, Xiao Fengxiao smiled smugly and said something solemnly.

"From this day forward, you will be my trusted servant!"

"I... thank you for your kindness, Second Grandmother."

Chen Shi snapped out of his daze and wished he could slap himself.

Now that Xiao Fengxiao has spoken, if he were to refuse, it would be disrespectful, and given Xiao Fengxiao's temper, he would not let him off the hook.

If only he had rewarded them from the beginning, he would have been too clever for his own good.

Chen Shi smiled bitterly to himself. He had deliberately refused to cooperate with Gu Chengze's arrangements, but in the end, he was still transferred to work in the hospital.

They say that things can turn out unexpectedly well if you plant willows without thinking. What's this compared to what he did? Chen Shi couldn't help but glance at Yun'er beside him.

Then, Chen Shi looked at Xiao Fengxiao, who was high above him, and felt increasingly uneasy. Was he really going to have to do that job?
