Chapter 29: Wariness: Ye Yunzhi's Letter
“Eldest Miss, are Qing Hu and Qing Liu really poisoned?” asked Qing Mama in disbelief.
“Yes. They are poisoned with the Yin Yang Poison, which is colorless and tasteless. If it is used in isolation, it is not effective. However, if it is used on two people who not only interact with each other all the time but also eat and sleep together, its potency intensifies. When they die, they will die without exhibiting any symptoms. Even if a physician were to check on them, he would not be able to determine the cause of death.”
Ye Jiuge withdrew her hand. When she noticed how Qing Mama and the two maids’ faces were pale with shock, she consoled them, “Don’t worry. Although this poison is powerful, it’s not difficult to produce an antidote. Tomorrow, I will purchase two sets of medicine based on a prescription I have written and alchemize them. Everything will be fine.”
“That’s great.” Qing Mama breathed a sigh of relief. However, she still found the situation unbelievable. “Why would anyone poison these two maids without rhyme or reason?”
Their conflict with Qiu Mama should not intensify to the point that it endangered their lives.
“You will have to ask Qing Hu and Qing Liu.” Ye Jiuge’s beautiful eyes glinted as her gaze fell on the maids.
“Eldest Miss, we don’t know either!” Qing Hu and Qing Liu shook their heads in panic.
“Eldest Miss, they have only worked at the Qiu Shui Residence for ten days. Even if there is bad blood between them, it should not have escalated so quickly!”
Qing Mama had personally trained the two maids, so she was very familiar with their personalities. Qing Hu was a lively, sweet girl with an intelligent mind, while Qing Liu was very mature and steady as a person. They were not only tolerant of others but also very astute; therefore, how could they bring such misfortune upon themselves?
