Chapter 565 The Bai Family’s Suspicion
Sure enough, a moment later, Bai Jinshi walked straight to the side of the pharmacy and took out a small light blue porcelain bottle from an inconspicuous corner. At the same time, she took out a thin knife from the table and whispered, "Ya'er..."
The little snake that was originally wrapped around Bai Jinshi's wrist suddenly bit her finger, and the bitten area immediately changed color.
Yu Qingli was shocked and stepped forward quickly, anxiously asking, "Third Miss, what should we do now? Are you okay?"
Bai Jinshi remained silent, and quickly used the blade to cut a small cut on her finger. Then, she swiftly picked up a small wooden box next to the light blue porcelain bottle and opened it.
In the wooden box, there was a translucent pill, and Bai Jinshi squeezed the blood from the wound directly into the wooden box.
Miraculously, the pill quickly absorbed the blood dripping onto it, and its originally transparent color became a bit darker, turning into a light vermilion.
After doing all this, Bai Jinshi quickly closed the box, and then handed the porcelain bottle and wooden box to Yu Qingli.
Yu Qingli was stunned. "What is this?"
"Doesn't the princess want this bone-eroding powder?"
Yu Qingli was surprised and delighted, but her face was bewildered. She held up the two things in her hands and asked, "How can there be two of them? Do I need to use them together?"
Bai Jinshi laughed. This seemingly smart princess consort was actually cute and adorable in private. She didn't know why, but she just liked her very much. Although she was of noble status, she was not arrogant at all. She was even a million times easier to get along with than the eldest prince who always had a gentle smile.
She really didn't expect that the prince's wife would have such a side to her. She really wanted to have a friend like this.
Bai Jinshi suppressed her smile and picked up the porcelain bottle, saying, "This contains Bone-Eroding Powder. Princess Royal must be careful when using it. You must not get it contaminated, or you will be in great danger. As for the wooden box, it actually contains the antidote."
"Then why did the Third Miss hurt herself just now?"
Bai Jinshi's expression softened a bit, perhaps because Yu Qingli's words sounded so caring, which warmed her heart. "Ordinary people think this pill is the antidote, but it's not. The real antidote is a fusion of blood and Ya'er's venom. So, even if this antidote is stolen, it's not a big deal."
"It's actually like this!"
Yu Qingli secretly thanked her luck that she did not act rashly, otherwise, she would have brought back an antidote that was completely useless.
In order to prevent Bai Jinshi from having any suspicion, Yu Qingli smiled and said, "Can I have some other poisons?"
"That's natural!"
Bai Jinshi obviously had no guard against this prince's wife who had the same interests as herself, and she never thought that she came for the Bone-Eroding Powder.
Yu Qingli carefully put away the bone-eroding powder and the antidote, but her mood suddenly became a little relieved. With the antidote, Murong Yanhui's life was finally safe. The next step was to send the antidote out as soon as possible.
In comparison, Xiluo’s situation worries Yu Qingli much more. She doesn’t know how she is getting along with the second young master of the Bai family?
Xiluo was also very depressed at this time. Although she had prepared herself mentally for a long time, she still felt a little embarrassed when she was alone with Bai Jinqi. Most importantly, she felt uncomfortable taking advantage of other people's feelings, even though she had done such training more than once when she was a killer.
"Xiluo, Xiluo, what are you thinking about?"
A gentle voice came from her ear, bringing Xiluo back to her senses suddenly, and she met a pair of eyes full of affection.
Xiluo coughed softly to ease his inner embarrassment, then smiled at Bai Jinqi and said, "Nothing, I just felt that the Second Young Master was a little different from what I imagined."
Bai Jinqi asked curiously, "Oh? What do you think I am like?"
Xiluo carefully considered her words, staring at Bai Jinqi's face. How should she describe him? From the first moment she saw him, her intuition told her that he must be a good person. Although they had different standpoints, this was an undeniable fact.
"Can't you think of it?" Bai Jinqi smiled, his tone surprisingly gentle.
Xiluo shook her head. "No, actually, it's a bit surprising. I thought someone like the Second Young Master would be aloof, but he seems to be particularly attentive to those close to him. This is exactly the same feeling that the Third Young Lady gives people."
Bai Jinqi was stunned. He had never expected Xiluo to be so insightful. The emotion in her eyes deepened. This woman...
"What's wrong? Do you think what I said is wrong?"
Bai Jinqi quickly shook his head, but saw Xiluo's confused look. "Actually, I don't quite understand why the Second Young Master would fall for me."
Bai Jinqi didn't seem to expect Xiluo to ask him such a question. After a moment, he curled his lips.
"Xiluo, love is something that cannot be explained in words. In fact, I don't know why I fell in love with you. Perhaps this is fate!"
"Fate?" Xiluo became more and more confused. "I don't understand."
"Actually, I don't quite understand it either, but I think it's best to just follow your heart!"
Xiluo turned to look at the man beside her. Everything was up to her heart. If he knew that she came here to clean up just to take advantage of him, I wonder if he would still say such words.
Xiluo fell into silence. She looked up at the grave not far away. Although she felt a little guilty about this man's behavior, she did not intend to forget her original intention. What's more, this man had no idea of her bloody side. He thought too highly of herself.
At this time, in the study of Jinxiu Villa, Bai Jinshu and Bai Jinhua sat opposite each other, while Chen Simin sat on a chair beside them. The faces of the three were very serious, as if they were discussing some extremely confidential topic.
Bai Jinhua spoke first, her usually gentle expression changing to one that even showed a hint of disgust.
"Brother, I don't understand why we have to cooperate with this princess? I think she must have some ulterior motive, otherwise she wouldn't have come here. Also, she specifically mentioned some kind of poison. She's probably after the Bone-Erosion Powder. Don't you find it strange?"
Bai Jinshu didn't answer her immediately, but just glanced at Chen Simin. "What do you think, Simin?"
Chen Simin put down the teacup in her hand and gently stroked the rim with her fingers. "I have a different opinion. Putting aside why the princess did this, even if she really came for the Bone-Eroding Powder, it doesn't matter. It's just a poison. The scary thing in this world is not the poison itself, but the process of applying the poison."
"Mr. Chen, you might be too naive. Could it be that you have evil intentions because of the good looks of the prince's wife?"
Bai Jinhua sneered, and Chen Simin's expression changed. Before she could open her mouth, she heard Bai Jinshu's warning: "Jinhua, watch your mouth! What to say and what not to say, I don't think I need to teach you!"
Bai Jinhua moved her lips and said, "Yes!"
Bai Jinshu's gaze softened slightly, as if the sharp look just now did not come from him.
"Jinhua, feel free to tell me everything you want to say. Feel free to raise any doubts you have. Simin is a friend of the Bai family and was personally chosen by His Highness. She wouldn't be so superficial."
Upon hearing this, Bai Jinhua no longer hesitated and asked all her questions in detail.
"Brother, do you remember when the princess came to the villa a few days ago and an assassin suddenly appeared?"
"Jinhua, do you suspect this matter is related to the prince's wife?"
"Yes, if I remember correctly, that day, I was supposed to take the princess to the library, but halfway there, Miss Xiluo suddenly said she had a stomachache and left. After that, we discovered an unknown intruder. Later, when I returned to the library, the princess was no longer there, but the library was stained with a lot of blood. Judging from the blood on the ground, if no one helped, the assassin would not have been able to get far. What's even more strange is that there are no traces of blood outside the library. Don't you find all this strange, big brother?"
"It's indeed a bit strange, but that doesn't mean the princess did it all. According to those who saw the assassin, it was a man, injured and poisoned. Given the toxicity of the Bone-Eroding Powder, he would have fallen into a coma. So, how could a woman like the princess move that man?"
"What if the assassin's accomplices are included?"
Bai Jinhua's questioning left Bai Jinshu silent. While they had only seen one assassin, they couldn't guarantee it was just one person. But if he had an accomplice, how had he escaped? Could there be an insider within the villa?
Bai Jinshu's expression grew uglier. "Besides this, Jinhua, do you have any other suspicions?"
"Of course I have my suspicions. I think the real assassin is not dead, but escaped with the help of the princess and his accomplices. However, the poison in his body has not been removed. That's why the princess came to Jinxiu Villa again to look for an antidote."
"Hahaha……"
As soon as Bai Jinhua finished speaking, Chen Simin burst into laughter, making her feel extremely embarrassed.
"why are you laughing?"
Bai Jinhua was a little angry and embarrassed, so her tone was naturally not very good.
"Nothing, I just found it interesting. I didn't expect the Fourth Young Miss to be so good at reasoning. The way she put it makes it seem like the truth. However, if I were to bring it up publicly, it seems completely untenable."
"you!"
Bai Jinhua was furious. This Chen Simin was clearly a servant of her Bai family, but every word he said was to help Yu Qingli. How much benefit did the other party give him?
"Okay, stop arguing!"
At Bai Jinshu's command, both of them stopped arguing and looked at him.
