Fu Yuling initially wanted to be angry, but seeing them like this, she felt her defenses crumble.
She had to catch the two rushing over and said helplessly, “Be careful.”
“Uncle is in so much pain. Xiao Xuan helped him, but Uncle doesn’t seem to like it.”
He Xuan widened his innocent and clear eyes, completely different from the other face he had shown when he turned his back to Fu Yuling.
In truth, Fu Yuling wasn’t aware of the situation over there. First, the distance was a bit far, and second, they had their backs to her, so she couldn’t see anything.
Hearing this, she instinctively glanced at the motionless and gasping man on the ground who was covered in blood. This was no help. His life was hanging by a thread.
What He An had thrown earlier was actually a powder that He Qiu had made while Fu Yuling was teaching him how to grind medicinal powder from herbs.
Although this thing smelled good, it caused weakness and skin irritation upon contact. However, once it came into contact with water, it felt like fire was burning the skin. If left untreated, it could easily be fatal.
What puzzled her was why He Xuan knew to pour water on it.
Flashback to when Fu Yuling had just taught He Qiu to make this poison and explained its toxicity. She immediately instructed He Qiu not to use it carelessly. He Qiu had quickly agreed, and she hadn’t thought to create an antidote.
This was why she didn’t rush over to help earlier, the reason was that she simply had no way to do so.
What she didn’t know was that while she was talking to He Qiu, He Xuan and the others were outside and listening to everything.
Later, He Qiu had secretly researched this thing and even found an antidote, but he didn’t show it.
Fu Yuling actually wanted to scold them, especially since He Qiu had clearly promised her to stay put but had gone out instead. This made her particularly angry.
But the two children were staring at her with their wide and innocent eyes reflecting her own face, making it hard for her to be harsh.
In the middle of the night, she led He Qiu and He Xuan inside. As they passed by He An and He Wen, her tone inevitably carried a hint of anger.
“Get inside.”
He Wen and He An exchanged glances and both saw unease in each other’s eyes.
This was the first time they had seen Fu Yuling angry.
Seeing that they had already gone in, He An couldn’t help but kick the man on the ground lightly with his calf.
“It’s all your fault for making her angry.”
Once inside, He Qiu and He Xuan stood in front of Fu Yuling with their heads down. He Wen and He An nervously walked over and mimicked their posture.
The four children stood together, all very good-looking. Fu Yuling sat on the bed, and from her angle, she could only see the tops of their heads.
“What went wrong?!”
Fu Yuling’s tone was unusually harsh.
Suddenly shouted at like this, the children flinched and lowered their heads even more.
Seeing this, Fu Yuling felt a headache coming on and pressed her temples.
“Go to sleep first. Tomorrow, you need to tell m what you did wrong.”
After saying this, Fu Yuling left.
Looking at the three men lying on the ground, Fu Yuling felt even angrier. What was going on?
She certainly couldn’t let them go. One by one, she dragged them to the woodshed. Fearing that they might wake up, she specially used needles on them again, so that they wouldn’t wake up until at least noon the next day.
