Poisoned?

Butler Zhao's face alternated between shades of green and white. She heaved a sigh of relief and pushed open the door. With a fake smile on her face, she reminded, "Second Young Mistress, you must speak gently in front of the Second Young Master. Otherwise, the Second Young Master will be unhappy!"

The pungent smell of disinfectant greeted her. Qu Yue looked up and saw that the temperature seemed to be colder than other places.

In the middle of the large room was an English-style bed. There was a person on the bed with two beeping machines on both sides.

The thick curtains blocked all the sunlight. Qu Yue walked to the window and pulled it open!

"Second Young Mistress, what are you doing?" the butler exclaimed. She quickly walked forwards and was about to draw the curtains when she saw Qu Yue preparing to open the window. She rushed forward to stop her. "You can't open the window. Second Young Master will catch a cold!"

"Am I the Second Young Mistress or are you the Second Young Mistress?" Qu Yue frowned and cast a side glance towards Housekeeper Zhao as she rebutted rudely.

Hearing Qu Yue's words, Housekeeper Zhao tried hard to suppress the anger in her chest and forced out a smile. "Of course, you are the Second Young Mistress."

"Open all the windows and open all the curtains!" Qu Yue commanded. As she watched Butler Zhao open the curtains and windows, her lips curled up slightly. "Alright, you may leave!"

"Yes." Butler Zhao bowed her head and walked out, not forgetting to close the door. She was waiting to see the Second Young Master catch a cold and the Second Young Mistress get scolded!

Qu Yue had previously asked Old A to investigate everything regarding the Shen family.

This man was extremely outstanding and even more handsome than in photos. The only difference was that he was much fairer in person. Perhaps it was because he had not been exposed to the sun for many years.

She placed her hand on the man's wrist and took his pulse. Her other hand touched Shen Ting's forehead and calf.

His body was icy cold and his pulse was weak.

Qu Yue frowned. Before she came, she had checked the relevant information and designed a treatment plan.

She retrieved a box from her pocket, opened it, took out a silver needle from a disinfected tray. She then gently inserted it into Shen Zechuan's head.

She felt the man's pulse, then experimented by plucking at his fingers. When he failed to respond, she began the second needle insertion.

Next came the third and fourth needle.

When she stopped, Shen Ting's head was covered with needles.

Qu Yue felt his pulse. His pulse was much better than before.

At this moment, the man's eyelashes trembled slightly and his fingers moved.

When it was about time, Qu Yue removed all the silver needles from the man's head and placed them back into the box. She sat beside him and continued to take his pulse.

Strange.

Qu Yue's expression changed slightly. She placed her fingers on the man's wrist and furrowed her brows.

He seemed to have been poisoned as well?

If she was right, Shen Ting had not woken up yet because he was affected by the poison.

Could someone in the Shen family have plotted against him?

Just as Qu Yue was deep in thought, someone pushed open the door with a "bang" and walked in.

"I heard that my Second Sister-in-law has arrived. I want to see what she looks like."

A young lady wearing a mini skirt with tattoos on her body walked in. She looked to be around 20 years old, but her figure was well-developed and curvy.

Qu Yue had seen all the information about the Shen family before. If she did not guess wrongly, this young lady should be Miss Shen Tian from the Shen family.

Shen Tian looked at Qu Yue's swollen face and her expression changed. She looked at Housekeeper Zhao in surprise and asked, "Are you mistaken? How could such an ugly woman be Second Sister-in-law?"

Housekeeper Zhao had already been angered by Qu Yue previously. Upon hearing Miss Shen's words, her eyes rolled and her lips curled smugly. However, she said in a very humble tone, "Miss, there's no mistake. It's very inappropriate for you to say this. If the Second Young Mistress gets angry..."

"I'm the only daughter of the Shen family. Who dares to be angry at me?" Shen Tian held her head high and walked elegantly to Qu Yue. She glanced at her from the corner of her eyes and said, "So tacky, ugly, and disgusting. You're not worthy of my second brother at all. I advise you to get lost early so that you don't embarrass yourself here!"

Qu Yue looked at Shen Tian indifferently without saying anything. Her gaze landed on Shen Ting's face. If he was poisoned, why hasn't anyone in the Shen family found out?

Was there something wrong with the doctor who treated Shen Ting?

Or was the doctor a quack who did not realize that someone had secretly poisoned Shen Ting?

It seemed like the rest of the Shen family didn't care if Shen Ting would wake up at all.

The poison was easy to cure, but she did not have any herbs with her at the moment so she could not make the antidote. It seemed that she had to go out for a while.

"Hey, I'm talking to you again. Did you hear me?!" Shen Tian waved her hand in front of Qu Yue in exasperation. Seeing that Qu Yue had returned to her senses, she said, "I already told you to leave quickly. Why are you still here?"

Qu Yue glanced at Shen Tian and silently looked away. She tilted her eyelids down to hide the displeasure in her eyes.

Steward Zhao was quick-witted. Lowering her head, she walked over and said politely, "Second Young Mistress, the young miss was kind enough to greet you. Why are you not saying anything?"

"She must be either a mute or a fool. Otherwise, how could she not understand human language?" Shen Tian said as she walked arrogantly to the bed and glanced at Shen Ting indifferently. Her gaze landed on Qu Yue's face. "I'll help Second Brother make the decision. You'd better get lost quickly!"

Shen Tian really could not accept someone as ugly as Qu Yue as her sister-in-law. She felt like retching whenever she got close to Qu Yue.

Shen Tian felt that her father was just fooling around. Second Brother had been lying in bed for seven years. It was impossible for him to wake up. "Flushing joy" was just a joke!

Shen Tian turned to look at Housekeeper Zhao and ordered, "Get the security officers to come up and take this ugly woman away!"

Housekeeper Zhao was elated, but she still had to put up a front. She said disconsolately, "Miss, this isn't very appropriate!"

"I'm Miss Shen. Who does she think she is?!" Shen Tian glared fiercely at Housekeeper Zhao and said angrily, "If you don't call for someone, then you should leave too!"

Butler Zhao was waiting for Shen Tian's last sentence, so she took out her walkie-talkie to call the security guards.

Soon, two security guards came up. They walked towards Qu Yue and said respectfully, "Miss, please leave."

The pair of beautiful eyes behind Qu Yue's glasses frowned with displeasure. She stared at the two security guards in front of her and said coldly, "I advise you two not to mess around!"

"Pfft, so you're really not a mute or a fool!" Shen Tian crossed her arms and looked at Qu Yue arrogantly. "They are all security guards who have undergone strict training. If you don't want to suffer, you'd better leave the Shen family obediently on your own!"
