Chapter 253 Aphrodisiac
Jiang Dichen looked at his subordinates' backs and warned them, "Always keep an eye on Wang Yangxu's every move."
"Yes, master." Yan Mo replied.
After arranging Yan Mo, Jiang Dichen instructed Shi Nie: "Shi Nie, take a team of people and keep an eye on Madam's guest room at all times."
After hearing what his master said, Shi Nie hesitated for a moment and asked him, "Master, what about you?"
Jiang Dichen came to the inner room. He walked to the wooden board next to Shen Ruolan's room, and used all his internal strength to hit the board with his strength. There was a light "bang" sound, and a hole as big as a wooden basin appeared in front of him.
Shen Ruolan, who had just put her child down in the house, heard the noise. She quickly turned around and saw that Jiang Dichen had smashed the wall. She became unhappy instantly. She was about to scold him when she saw Jiang Dichen making a "hush" gesture to her to keep quiet.
Seeing this, Shen Ruolan recalled what Mu Jinxuan had said during the day, and instantly understood that this inn was probably very unsafe. To be precise, the entire Lijiang City was very unsafe.
She came to the cave and asked Jiang Dichen, "Is there anything going on in the inn?"
Jiang Dichen gently took down a few more wooden boards, came over from his side, and whispered to Shen Ruolan: "Mu Tianrui is in the inn, and I'm afraid it will be restless at night, so I came here to accompany you."
Jiang Dichen knew that Shen Ruolan didn't like him, so he paused and continued to say to her, "Don't worry, I'll just sit outside and won't disturb you and your son's rest."
Shen Ruolan nodded to her and said "hmm" without saying anything.
At this time, Aunt Liu said outside: "Master, your dinner is here."
Shen Ruolan glanced at Jiang Dichen and said to Aunt Liu outside the door, "Okay, I'm coming."
Shen Ruolan turned around and looked at Jiang Dichen and said, "Just stay in the inner room and don't come out."
Jiang Dichen responded with a “hmm”.
Shen Ruolan opened the door. She looked around first before taking the tray and saying to Aunt Liu, "Aunt Liu, you've been tired all day. Go back to your room and have a rest. I'll take care of the child."
When Aunt Liu heard that her master would be looking after the child alone tonight, she was stunned for a moment, then she realized that her master's husband was also here tonight. She responded to Shen Ruolan with understanding, "Master, I understand."
After she finished speaking, she took a few steps, then turned back and said to Shen Ruolan, "Master, I'll be waiting outside the door. Just let me know when you need hot water."
After hearing what Aunt Liu said, Shen Ruolan knew that she had misunderstood her, but she was not prepared to explain to her.
Because it was her own private matter, she just needed to know it in her heart, and there was no need to explain it to others. She looked at Aunt Liu and refused, "I don't need anything at night, you guys go down."
"Yes, I'll take my leave." Seeing that Shen Ruolan was unwilling to stay, Liu Gu quietly left.
Shen Ruolan sent Aunt Liu away. She smelled the food before putting it on the table. It wasn't that she didn't trust her own people, but after going through so many things, she tried to be as cautious as possible when going out.
There was nothing wrong with the first three dishes, but Shen Ruolan smelled something wrong with the last dish, the soup.
She hesitated for a moment, took out a silver needle from her arms and tried it. Unexpectedly, when the front of the silver needle was put in, the back quickly turned black, which made Shen Ruolan's face turn black instantly.
Jiang Dichen came out of the inner room and noticed that Shen Ruolan was abnormal. He stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong?"
Shen Ruolan said with a gloomy face: "The soup is poisonous."
When Jiang Dichen heard that the food was poisonous, he looked unhappy. He said to Shen Ruolan, "I'll ask Yan Mo to go outside and buy you another portion."
Shen Ruolan quickly held him back and said, "Forget it, this rice is not poisonous. I'll just eat a little rice so as not to alert the enemy."
Since Mu Tianrui wanted to poison them, he must have other plans behind it. They should just deal with it accordingly. Otherwise, who knows what more harmful tricks he will come up with later.
Jiang Dichen looked at the woman holding him, and said with some guilt: "Ruolan, I'm sorry for making you suffer with me."
Jiang Dichen knew that coming to see her would bring her a lot of trouble, but he just couldn't control his heart. He traveled through mountains and rivers for countless days and nights just to see her and her son.
Shen Ruolan looked up at Jiang Dichen, sat down to eat her meal, and said to him very impolitely: "It's good that you know. Don't come to cause trouble for us mother and son in the future."
Although Shen Ruolan's words were very impolite, they were also true. If Jiang Dichen had not appeared, she would not have had so many troubles.
Jiang Dichen paused for a moment, but was not angry at Shen Ruolan's words. He quietly walked to her side and sat down, saying to her, "Don't worry, no matter what dangers and troubles I bring to you, even if it costs me my life, I will keep you and your child safe."
Shen Ruolan didn't bother to pay attention to him and started eating the white rice.
Unexpectedly, she had just taken a bite when Jiang Dichen snatched it away and said, "I haven't eaten tonight, give me half."
In fact, Jiang Dichen wanted to wait for her to come out and eat together, but the two of them were having a great time, and after learning that Mu Tianrui was plotting against him, he lost his appetite.
Shen Ruolan was very upset when her bowl was suddenly snatched away. Just when she was about to mock Jiang Dichen, she suddenly saw a few black spots in the rice he had shared. She quickly stopped him and said, "Don't move."
As Shen Ruolan spoke, she reached out and picked up a few small black dots and began to observe them.
After a while, she looked at Jiang Dichen and said, "You can't eat this meal either."
Shen Ruolan didn't expect that Mu Tianrui would go to such a great cost to harm her. The few small black dots in the bowl were nothing else but aphrodisiacs wrapped in beeswax. If she accidentally ingested them, she would either die or be ruined tonight!
When Shen Ruolan thought of this, she couldn't help but feel a chill on her back. She couldn't understand why so many people wanted to harm her when she never took the initiative to provoke anyone?
It happened last time in Yaowang Valley, and it happened this time in the inn...
When Jiang Dichen heard that there was another poison, his face suddenly darkened. He looked at the silent Shen Ruolan and asked, "What kind of poison is this?"
Shen Ruolan said to Jiang Dichen with a dark face: "Aphrodisiac, if I take all of these, even if a Daluo immortal comes tonight, he can't save me."
Jiang Dichen heard this and stood up abruptly and said, "Ruolan, take the two children away first. I will meet you later."
Just now, there was poison in the food, which already made him very angry. Now there was such an evil poison hidden in the food. It was obvious that they wanted to destroy Shen Ruolan to humiliate him. This was intolerable. He, Jiang Dichen, must destroy this broken inn today!
