Chapter 1572 - 1574: Could it be that person deceived me_1
"Don’t refuse."
"But can your body handle the journey?" Yang Chuxia was worried. It would take a while to travel to the outskirts of the city by carriage.
"It’s not a problem, my lady need not be overly cautious."
"All right then."
After Ye Zi’an boarded the carriage, the group hurriedly arrived in front of the earthen temple outside the city.
"When will the item be handed over?"
As soon as she alighted from the carriage, Yang Chuxia called out in a rush.
However, the surroundings were silent, and the occasional flutter of tree leaves seemed to mock her ignorance. How could she be so naive? Who said promises always have to be kept?
"Damn it!" Yang Chuxia felt a sense of insanity as no one showed up. "Are you coming out or not? If you’re a man, make yourself heard, do you hear me?"
"..."
"My lady, let’s head back for now," Ye Zi’an tugged at Yang Chuxia after a while, "Let’s return to the mansion. If he really intends to give the item to us, he’ll find us even if we don’t seek him out. If he doesn’t plan to give it up, then we won’t be able to find him anyway."
"Fine, let’s return to the mansion!"
Yang Chuxia and Ye Zi’an then got back into the carriage one after another, and the carriage quickly entered the city.
Once inside the mansion, Mingcui brought another letter.
Upon hearing this, Yang Chuxia snatched it immediately. It was another letter from that person, but as she read to the end, she nearly wanted to kill someone. What a pervert!
"What happened? What did he say this time?"
"This damned pervert!" Yang Chuxia crumpled the paper over and over again.
Ye Zi’an, thinking that the other party hadn’t delivered the item, wasn’t really disappointed, as he hadn’t had much hope for this matter to begin with.
"Xiaxia, let it go. This person was unreliable from the start; otherwise, he wouldn’t have concocted such a treacherous poison."
Upon hearing this, Yang Chuxia unfolded the paper again and said, "No, this person still has some credibility. He gave us one poison. As for the other, he felt we were disrespectful for bringing all the townspeople to kneel and then having so many curse him along the way, which made him unhappy. He saw it as a breach of agreement, so as punishment, he’s only willing to part with one poison."
Ye Zi’an’s mouth fell open upon hearing this, finding the man’s actions truly out of the ordinary.
"Did he say what we have to do to get the other one?"
"No!" Yang Chuxia shook her head, but in her heart, she thought that there would surely be another letter from him.
"My lady, if that person sends another letter, remember not to keep it from me. Whatever he asks you to do, I need to know."
That man could demand such a thing as kneeling in public; who knew what else he would propose? If his demands became more outrageous, he would rather die than let his lady suffer further humiliation because of him.
"Alright, I know."
However, in her heart, Yang Chuxia thought it might be better not to tell him, to avoid the chances of their efforts being in vain like this time.
Mu Shaoling soon came back with the news.
"I heard there’s some news about one of the poisons?"
"Yes, that damn pervert only gave us one, claiming I violated the agreement." Yang Chuxia handed the letter to Mu Shaoling.
After reading it, Mu Shaoling’s brow furrowed deeply.
"What’s wrong?" Ye Zi’an asked.
"This poison is somewhat strange." Mu Shaoling gave a brief reply.
"Strange how? Could it be that person deceived me?"
"It’s unlikely that he deceived you," Mu Shaoling examined the poison again, then said, "This poison originally came from the Li Family. When the Li Family was captured, I personally led people to the young master’s pharmacy. It was all burned down at the time, and all the members of the Li Family died. How can this poison reappear?"
