674 Words
Shen Qingrou slowly woke up, and what caught her eye were carved wooden beams and light gauze curtains, with a faint fragrance lingering around her nose. The familiar decorations made her realize that she had returned to her own yard - Tingyuxuan.
Miss, you're already awake!
The little maid Biyu, who was guarding beside Shen Qingrou, burst into tears of joy when she saw her wake up. She quickly poured a cup of warm water and handed it to her lips. "You've been unconscious all day and night, and you've scared me so much.
Shen Qingrou felt a splitting headache and felt weak all over. She struggled to sit up, took the tea cup, took a sip, moistened her dry throat, and then asked, "What's wrong with me? Why am I here?
Miss, don't you remember? "Biyu looked at Shen Qingrou in surprise." You were reading in the pavilion by the lake yesterday and suddenly fainted. It was the young lady who passed by and rescued you
Big sister
After waking up, Shen Qingrou heard that it was Shen Qingge who saved her, and her heart was filled with doubt and anxiety. She was well aware of Shen Qingge's hatred towards her and would never easily give up.
Shen Qingrou furrowed her brows slightly, and some fragments flashed through her mind. She vaguely remembered feeling dizzy and disoriented while reading in the pavilion by the lake, and then losing consciousness. When she woke up, she found herself back at Tingyuxuan.
Did Shen Qingge really save her?
Shen Qingrou's heart was filled with doubts and confusion.
She and Shen Qingge have never been at odds, how could Shen Qingge be kind enough to save her?
Could it be?
A terrifying thought suddenly flashed through Shen Qingrou's mind. Could it be that Shen Qingge deliberately poisoned her and then hypocritically saved her in order to gain her father's favor and suppress herself?
Biyu, are you sure it was Big Sister who saved me? "Shen Qingrou tightly grasped Biyu's hand and asked eagerly.
I'm sure, many people saw it at that time. The young lady even personally injected you, Miss Er, and fed you medicine! "Biyu replied confidently," The master and madam also praised the kindness and kindness of the young ladies.
Upon hearing Biyu's answer, Shen Qingrou's face immediately turned pale, and her heart was filled with anger and unwillingness.
If it was really Shen Qingge who saved her, wouldn't she owe her a favor for nothing?
Moreover, Shen Qingge also won the favor of her father and everyone because of this, which is definitely not a good thing for her!
No, I absolutely cannot let Shen Qingge's conspiracy succeed.
Biyu, go and help me check what Big Sister has been doing lately and who has come into contact with her, "Shen Qingrou instructed. She must figure out what medicine is sold in Shen Qingge's gourd.
Yes, miss. "Biyu followed the order and left.
Shen Qingrou lay alone in bed, replaying the scene before her coma in her mind.
She remembered that she was reading in the pavilion by the lake when she suddenly smelled a strange fragrance and felt dizzy and disoriented, losing consciousness.
That fragrance... "Shen Qingrou tried to recall," It seems like I've smelled it somewhere before.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed through her mind, reminding her of a possibility.
Could it be... enchanting fragrance.
Shen Qingrou's face suddenly changed, and a storm rose in her heart.
Soul Charm is an extremely rare drug that is colorless and odorless. It only emits a strange fragrance under specific conditions. Once inhaled, it can lead to a coma and be manipulated by others.
This kind of drug is extremely precious and impossible to buy on the market. Only those privileged families would secretly hide some for self-defense or... harm others!
If it's really a bewitching fragrance, then this matter is even more suspicious!
A hint of resentment flashed in Shen Qingrou's eyes, and she secretly swore in her heart that she would seek revenge!
