Love Lock

Chapter 104 A Huge Fame

"Oh, aren't these Young Master Wei's two servants? Didn't you go back to the capital? What happened to you and you ended up like this?"

Han Lei covered her mouth and chuckled. Her three soul-searching questions made the two servants quickly bury their heads on the ground, not daring to raise their heads, and only repeatedly begging for help.

"Please, Miss Han, no, Grandma, have mercy and save us! We know we were wrong."

Han Lei scoffed. Without even asking, she knew that the two servants had been poisoned.

"You two didn't take the antidote when you got back, did you?" Han Lei looked at them leisurely, a contemptuous smile on her lips.

"Yes, madam, we...we ate it." Servant A said, head bowed and trembling, "We...we ate the whole bottle of antidote."

"Pfft! Nonsense." Han Lei rolled her eyes. "I forgot to tell you, the antidote works if you take it before you bleed. If you take it after you bleed, it won't work. Raise your heads. Tell me, what happened? Why didn't you take the antidote on time?"

Han Lei's words revealed the key point, and the two servants dared not argue any further. They slowly raised their heads, startling the brothers from the brewery and Yang's mother who were watching the commotion.

This is the servant who returned to the capital with Young Master Wei a couple of days ago.

Judging from their conversation, these two servants were poisoned? When did this happen?

In their eyes, the two servants looked absolutely terrible.

Their shirts, soaked and dried with blood from their noses, were a dark red, stiff shell. Their hair was disheveled, their faces almost caked with blood. Two tattered strips of cloth were stuffed into their nostrils, soaked through with blood and unrecognizable. Drops of blood continued to drip from the ends of the cloths.

The onlookers suddenly realized. No wonder the two of them spoke in a muffled voice; their nostrils were blocked.

Attendant B, perhaps not being good with words, braced himself with his hands on the ground and nudged Attendant A with his elbow, signaling Attendant A to speak quickly.

The attendant had no choice but to explain the whole story with a bitter face.

Han Lei smiled faintly after hearing this. She had long anticipated that Wei Chengchao, that coward, wouldn't believe her and would be eager to find a famous doctor to cure his poison once he returned to the capital.

Although she had only recently begun studying poisons, she was undeniably a genius. The poisons she concocted incorporated modern drugs, creating an incubation period that could last up to half a month. With the medical capabilities of this era, such poisons were completely undetectable before they took effect, and once they did, they were utterly helpless against them.

On this point, she was not deceiving these ancient people. It was just that at the time, in order to make Wei Chengchao see immediate results, she used Huanglian Shangqing Pills and Jianwei Xiaoshi Tablets as a feint.

She had also calculated the time it would take for Wei Chengchao and the other two to seek medical treatment after returning to the capital, with an error margin of no more than two or three days.

The only error was that she started bleeding instead of draining blood. But it wasn't a big problem, as long as her first attempt at making poison was successful.

That coward Wei Chengchao actually sent those two servants back to monitor her movements, looking for an opportunity to retaliate. He's truly courting death. Well, she'll let them suffer a little longer then!

Thinking this, Han Lei did not intend to save the two servants immediately. Instead, she stretched out two fingers, frowned, and with a look of disgust, twisted the strip of cloth on the servant's nostril and tore it off.

Looking at the gushing blood from her nose, Han Lei slowly asked, "When did you two arrive in Taoyuan County?"

It was still the attendant A who spoke, his voice already slightly weak due to excessive blood loss and the bumpy journey.

"Grandma, we...we just arrived. Our noses started bleeding last night. We thought and thought it might be the poison from you, so we took the antidote. But even after we finished it, the bleeding continued. We had no choice but to spur our horses and hurry to see you. Waaah...Grandma, we were wrong. Please help us!"

Attendant A burst into tears as he spoke. They had taken the antidote, but it didn't work; they even tore their clothes to plug their nostrils, but it still didn't seem to help.

Fortunately, they were not far from Taoyuan County when they started having nosebleeds; otherwise, they would have lost their lives in the wilderness.

"Okay, stop crying."

Han Lei was annoyed by what she heard, so she took out two small green pills from her spatial watch and threw them in front of them.

"I only have two antidotes right now, you can take them first! I'll give you more when I've prepared the rest." "Ah! Thank you, thank you, Grandma."

"Thank you, Grandma."

The two servants were overjoyed. They crawled forward a couple of steps, picked up the pills from the ground, and stuffed them into their mouths.

After a short while, the nosebleeds of both of them gradually stopped.

Attendant B kept observing the blood droplet hanging from Attendant A's nose. Only when he saw that the last drop of blood did not fall for a long time did he realize that it had really stopped.

He carefully removed the strip of cloth from his nostrils, panting heavily.

Having narrowly escaped death, the two looked up at the still charming and sweet Han Lei, their eyes filled not only with gratitude for their narrow escape but also with deep fear of her.

Seeing the two of them in such a sorry state, Tao Qing joked from the side, "Hehe. If you don't believe what my girl says, you're just asking for trouble."

"That's right, my daughter is amazing."

"Those who don't heed the advice of their elders will suffer the consequences. Hahaha..."

The brothers from the brewery praised Han Lei one after another. Even Yang's mother, who was watching the commotion from the sidelines, felt even more admiration for Han Lei after witnessing her amazing poison skills.

With such a master of both medicine and poison right before her eyes, she became even more determined to keep Yang Xiaomei by Han Lei's side to learn her skills.

"What bad things have you done? Why would the girl poison you?" Yang's mother asked curiously.

"Tell me quickly, what bad things have you done?"

“My daughter only saves people, she would never harm them. You must have done something wrong.”

Yang's mother's question also piqued the curiosity of her other brothers.

In their minds, Han Lei was kind and generous. Everyone present had received kindness from Han Lei, and they firmly believed that Han Lei would not poison someone without a reason.

Upon hearing this, the two servants knelt on the ground, trembling, and dared not get up. They dared not even mention that they had drugged and kidnapped Han Lei.

The fact that they asked this question meant that Han Lei hadn't revealed the truth. Since Han Lei hadn't said anything, she was giving Wei Chengchao and his two servants a huge amount of face, and it was also their best way out.

Of course, they also knew what Han Lei really wanted them to do.

Attendant A was a clever man. He understood this point, glanced at Attendant B, and quickly changed the subject, prostrating himself in assurance.

"Thank you so much, Auntie, for saving our lives! When we get back, we will definitely persuade our young master to follow your instructions and never have any disloyal thoughts again."

"Please rest assured, my aunt, I would never dare to harbor any disloyal thoughts again."

Just as Han Lei was about to speak, seeing the two kneeling obediently on the ground, Da Jiu's happy voice came from outside.

"Miss. Miss, I'm back. The Prince has a letter for you."

I'm shameless, I'm begging for a dragon, I'm begging for a dragon.

The male and female leads will stand up in a few chapters. Stay tuned.
