Quick Wear: Male supporting role, come to my arms quickly

Chapter 214: Childhood sweethearts with the villain?

"Madam, if you miss your parents-in-law, can I go back with you during the Chinese New Year?"

It was Han Deqing who came back. They had been married for only two years and were in their sweetest years. Seeing his wife's red eyes, he felt really distressed.

However, since Chu Yuan was still here, he could only comfort her verbally.

Chu Yuan touched his nose. He made the other man's wife cry and was caught red-handed. It was a bit embarrassing.

Liao Xuewei quickly adjusted her mood and introduced the two people: "Father, this is Princess Rui'an."

"Yuanyuan, this is my father, Han Deqing, the current prefect of Jiangning."

Han Deqing did not expect that it was the princess who came, and he hurriedly bowed and paid his respects: "I did not know that it was the princess who came, and I failed to welcome her from afar. Please forgive me, princess."

"Get up, I'm only here to see Sister Liao, Lord Han, there's no need to be so polite."

Han Deqing was able to become a prefect at such a young age, so he was certainly not stupid. He knew that a princess of a country went south specially, and it was impossible that she came just to visit an old friend.

But since the princess didn't say anything, he pretended not to know: "With the princess by her side, Xuewei will probably feel less bored."

Bored? Chu Yuan didn't see why Sister Liao was bored, so he glanced at her suspiciously.

Liao Xuewei shook her head slightly, indicating that she would talk about it later.

Han Deqing left not long after. He had official business to attend to, and only hurried back when he heard that there were guests at home.

Liao Xuewei brought Chu Yuan back to her yard, and the two chatted for a while.

"Sister Liao, what did Lord Han say just now? Are you not living well here? But I think he treats you very well."

When this topic was brought up, Liao Yuwei felt very depressed: "Alas, Yuanyuan, my husband treats me well, but I have been married for two years and still have no children, so I feel very depressed."

It turned out to be a problem of offspring. Chu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief: "Sister, have you seen a doctor?"

"I have checked it out. My mother-in-law invited all the gynecologists in Jiangning Prefecture to come here. She drank a lot of bitter medicine soup, but she still didn't get pregnant."

Chu Yuan held her hand and comforted her, and took the opportunity to feel her pulse.

Some qi stagnation and blood stasis is not a big deal and should not affect offspring.

"Sister Liao, what did the doctors who treated you say?"

"They said I was just suffering from qi deficiency, but it was nothing serious. They prescribed some conditioning prescriptions, and I kept taking the same few medicines."

Chu Yuan asked her to find all these prescriptions and read them carefully, but found nothing unusual.

"What's wrong, Yuanyuan? Is there anything wrong with these prescriptions?"

Chu Yuan shook his head: "Nothing, Sister Liao, can I take a look around your room?"

Liao Xuewei understood: "Yuanyuan, you don't suspect that I was drugged, do you? Don't worry, my husband has sent people to check many times and found nothing wrong."

To be on the safe side, Chu Yuan checked it carefully. There are some colorless and odorless poisons in this world that ordinary people cannot detect.

Liao Xuewei knew that she was concerned about her, so she just let her go.

During this investigation, she actually discovered a clue. This person was very secretive and actually put the drug on the wardrobe.

The wood used to make this wardrobe must have been soaked in a colorless and odorless poison for a long time, and the drug's effect has seeped into it.

Moreover, the effect of this poison should not only cause infertility. If it continues for a long time, it may even kill people without being noticed.

Chu Yuan did not say anything, but sat back in his original position with a normal expression: "Sister Liao, I really didn't find anything unusual. I'm sorry, I can't help you."

"It's okay. As long as you come, I'm already very happy."

A colorless and odorless poison appeared in the Han Mansion in this way. Chu Yuan didn't think it was just used to murder a prefect's wife.

The person behind this is probably targeting Han Deqing, the eldest son of the Han family.

Chu Yuan didn't intend to let Liao Xuewei worry about this matter, so she went straight to Han Deqing and asked, "Master Han, do you know that Sister Liao was poisoned?"

Han Deqing was shocked: "What!?"

"It seems that we don't know. This poison is colorless and odorless, and very difficult to detect. Not only Sister Liao, but Lord Han should not be spared." She told Han Deqing her discovery clearly.

As an outsider, Chu Yuan is not in a position to interfere in the Han family's affairs. However, if the results of the handling do not satisfy her, she will still have to intervene no matter how inconvenient it is.

Fortunately, Han Deqing was a clear-headed man, and within three days he caught the mastermind behind the incident - one of his half-brothers.

This is consistent with the results of the investigation by Chu Yuan.

The day after the truth was revealed, this half-brother was killed by pirates. This was the most disgraceful way for the Han family to die, and it also made the people of Jiangning Prefecture's hatred for the pirates reach its peak.

At this time, the guard team brought by Chu Yuan finally arrived, with a total of one thousand soldiers, which was a great help in suppressing the water bandits.

Han Deqing assembled all his troops and prepared to officially start the war two days later.

Chu Yuan changed into men's clothes and participated in the war. However, as soon as he got on the warship, he smelled a cloud of smoke.

How could ordinary smoke knock her out? Chu Yuan planned to take advantage of the situation and pretend to be tricked to see what they were up to.

She was put into a sack and carried to the pirates' base camp - a water stronghold called Dongxiang.

Also taken away with her were General Wu and his two deputy generals.

Chu Yuan let them smell his special medicine to prolong their coma, and then he sneaked out under the cover of night.

The Dongxiang Water Fort was quite large. Chu Yuan turned several corners but did not find a way out. Instead, he saw a cave.

In this water village full of wooden houses, there is suddenly a cave. Doesn't this clearly tell people that there is something wrong here?

Chu Yuan quietly explored inside and found a secret door.

However, this secret door is made of a whole huge stone. If the switch cannot be found, it cannot be opened by human power. Even with Chu Yuan's strength, it would be difficult to do so.

She tried many ways but couldn't move it at all, so she could only grope around for the mechanism.

Fortunately, her eyesight was pretty good, and even though the mechanism was hidden very secretly, she still found it.

With a loud bang, the long-sealed boulder was opened. Chu Yuan waved away the raised dust and met a pair of sharp eyes.

"You don't look like someone from the village, so what are you doing here?" He looked at Chu Yuan with interest, as if he had seen an interesting prey.

Chu Yuan avoided answering his question and asked, "Who are you?"

"I am the leader of Dongxiang Water Village, Xiao Wangjin."
