Chapter 137 You Can’t Die Yet
Wen Wanwan didn't know what Cui meant, but she still obediently placed her arm on the stone table. She casually pulled her sleeves, revealing her fair and round wrists.
"Aunt Cui...I..."
Looking at her chubby arms, she felt a little embarrassed, and her expression was not as natural as before. She wanted to take her arms back awkwardly.
"Put your hands down and don't move."
However, Cui seemed not to notice her embarrassment. She held her arm without saying anything and put her warm fingers on Wen Wanwan's wrist.
"I do not……"
Wen Wanwan wanted to say that she was not sick, but she was interrupted by Cui's look as soon as she opened her mouth. She had no choice but to shut her mouth.
What she wanted to say just now was that her second aunt had just invited a doctor to see her a few days ago. It was said that the doctor was also a very famous doctor in the capital. It was her second uncle and second aunt who felt sorry for her because she had no appetite at night, so they ran out to invite the doctor. Fortunately, after the doctor examined her, he said that there was nothing wrong with her, and the whole family was relieved.
"Use your other hand."
Cui had no idea what Wen Wanwan was thinking. She just calmed down and listened to her pulse. After a while, she let go of her hand with a serious expression.
"Mrs. Xu, is there something wrong with my young lady?"
Seeing Cui's unhappy expression, Mingyue was almost getting anxious. After she let go of her hand, she couldn't wait to ask what was in her mind.
Wen Wanwan looked at Cui with horror with her round eyes, as if she couldn't believe that there could be anything wrong with her strong body.
"Wanwan has been given a very rare poison. It's not something that will kill you right away, but it will make you fat without you noticing. As the dosage increases, you'll get fatter and fatter, and eventually your internal organs won't be able to bear the pressure and you'll die..."
Cui's face looked a little ugly. After putting down her hand, she looked at Wen Wanwan's tongue coating, then lifted her skirt to check the condition of her calf, and said this sentence with great certainty.
"Although this poison is not difficult to cure, if you don't find out who poisoned you, it will be useless even if you cure it and they continue to poison you."
Yuxiu actually had some guesses before, but thinking that this was an ancient time with very low productivity and backwardness, she thought there would not be such a thing. Now that Cui said it for sure, she had to believe it.
Yes, those people with evil intentions do not distinguish between modern and ancient times, they have always existed.
"But I...why?"
When Wen Wanwan heard that she had gained weight over the years because someone poisoned her, she was shocked and angry, and the faces of those people in the mansion who liked to make fun of her kept appearing in her mind.
Who is it? Who on earth would harm her like this?
When Wen Wanwan thought about the grievances and insults she had suffered in the past few years, she couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart.
There were only so many people in the mansion, and she was a little girl in her teens, who basically lived in her own backyard. Even if she couldn't be sure who the person who poisoned her was, she knew without a doubt that it was just someone in the mansion.
"Miss, should we write to the general and his wife and tell them about it?"
Mingyue also thought of what Wen Wanwan had guessed, but now they didn't have many people of their own in the first house. Even if they made a fuss about this matter, they would not gain any benefits. Instead, it would easily anger the person behind the scenes, who might even kill them out of anger and shame. Then there would be no room for maneuver.
"The war situation at the border is tense right now. Even if I write a letter, they won't be able to come back immediately to make the decision for me. Besides, my father is a general. If he returns to the capital without the emperor's order, he will be guilty of a capital crime..."
Wen Wanwan's face turned pale. She couldn't cause trouble to her parents with her own affairs, so she had to figure out everything on her own.
However, even if the girl guessed that someone in the mansion was trying to harm her, she knew that she didn't have the ability to find that person. The only way was to think of a way to build a small kitchen or something after returning home, and try not to eat the food sent from the big kitchen in the future.
In fact, it was not her fault that she was cowardly. The biggest elder in the general's mansion was her grandmother, and she loved her second uncle's family the most. In addition, her second uncle had several concubines and gave birth to four illegitimate daughters. In addition, her second aunt also gave birth to two sons and two daughters. They really made great contributions to the expansion of their Wen family. In her grandmother's words, they were great heroes.
Compared to the fact that she is the only child in their eldest branch of the family, as the old lady said, she will belong to someone else's family sooner or later. How could she possibly feel any love for her? Except for when her parents are at home, they only blame and look down on her at other times.
The more the master and servant thought about it, the more desperate they felt. It seemed that even though they knew that someone in the mansion wanted to harm them, they still couldn't think of any good way to solve the problem.
"If it doesn't work, I'll write a letter tomorrow and go back to my grandparents' house to find my uncle and think of a solution."
Wen Wanwan gritted her teeth. Her maternal grandparents now settled in Pingchang Prefecture, and her uncle was also the prefect of Pingchang Prefecture. Even if she rode a fast horse, it would take a day and a night to get to the capital.
Yuxiu and Cui were not in a hurry to give them advice. After all, it was someone else's family affair. Even if the person behind the scenes was finally found out, it would most likely be Wen Wanwan's own relative.
Yuxiu and Cui were unwilling to do such a thankless task. They just sat aside quietly, watching the master and servant come up with several solutions, which were quickly rejected one by one.
"No, no... My grandparents' home is too far away. Water from afar cannot quench thirst nearby. So..."
Wen Wanwan looked very flustered. She really didn't expect that someone would harm her in such a way. The intention was so vicious that it was simply outrageous. Instead of torturing her slowly like this, it would be better to just poison her and kill her. This would also save her from suffering so much.
"Wuwuwu... Sister Yuxiu, Aunt Cui, I still have some savings and some jewelry. Most of them were given to me by my mother when she came back. I will find a way to send them out to you tomorrow. If I really die someday, please take Mingyue in. Those things will be considered as rewards..."
After thinking about it for a long time, she could not find any good solution. Wen Wanwan could not help crying again, and thought about just giving up. Life was too tiring. However, if she really died, besides missing her parents, the only thing she would miss was her personal maid Mingyue.
"Well...my mother said she can detoxify you, so you won't die for now."
Seeing that this girl was thinking of giving up her life just because she encountered a little difficulty, Yuxiu and Cui were speechless and hurriedly spoke to comfort her.
