Chapter 94: Constructing the Secret Base (1/2)
Back in her room, Bai Luochu thought that Qianqian was really childish. She was the one who schemed against Bai Luochu but not only did she fail, she was the one on the receiving end. Since she wasn’t as brilliant as Bai Luochu, she pushed all the blame away from herself. What a load of bullsh*t.
Whatever. The poison should be acting up any time now...
When night fell, the originally cold and cheerless general's residence became extremely lively. Everyone was rushing towards Qianqian’s room. If one were to take a closer look at those people, they were all carrying medicine boxes and were obviously physicians.
Right now, Qianqian was lying on the bed in great pain.
Even after being diagnosed by several physicians, no one could find out what the illness was. Both her parents were anxious as they stood outside her room through the night.
In fact, the poison would automatically disappear after seven days. However, during the process, the victim would suffer greatly as their body would alternate between hot and cold. They would also develop an extremely itchy rash. Pus would be discharged and more rashes would be produced. If the victim was able to endure the itch, there would be no problems. However, if they were to scratch their body, things would go south really quickly. Not only would more rash be produced, the wounds would also leave a scar.
At dawn the next day, the information made its way around the general’s residence.
When Cai Ling came over and reported this matter to her mistress, she had already guessed that this should be the work of Bai Luochu.
“Cai Ling, do you think I am cruel?” Bai Luochu looked outside the window and asked.
“Mistress, this servant doesn’t think so. The young lady repeatedly tried to harm you and Mistress simply outsmarted her and didn’t fall into the schemes. You are simply counterattacking and there is no need to brood over it. Furthermore, if those people were to succeed, they would be busy celebrating.” When Cai Ling heard Bai Luochu’s question, she actually felt that Bai Luochu was actually too kind.
“I heard that my cousin had already fainted a few times after looking at her own appearance?” Bai Luochu raised her brows and asked Cai Ling.
“That is indeed the case, lord uncle and madam are extremely heartbroken and are still accompanying her.” Cai Ling replied with the information she had obtained.
“I understand. You may leave.” Bai Luochu waved her hand and dismissed Cai Ling.
“Understood, this servant will take her leave.”
It wasn’t too far away from her own courtyard and it was convenient for her to head over. Furthermore, the place she chose was rather secluded. Since no one visited this place normally, it was perfect to build a secret base here.
After Bai Luochu confirmed that no one was around, her figure flashed and she entered the courtyard.
It was obvious that this place had been abandoned for many years as dust scattered all around when she gently closed the door.
After cleaning up the room, it was almost time for lunch. Bai Luochu decided to return for a meal before looking for Ying Lan to inform him about the situation in the general’s residence.
After lunch, Bai Luochu rested for a short moment and headed straight for the Remote Paddy Inn.
