Villain Lady Chapter 137
Advertisement
The males section was peaceful until a servant came over to call Prince Ji Shu that Wei Xiao Hua was poisoned. The previously calm Prince Ji Shu slammed the table abruptly. "What did you say?"
"Your Highness, First Miss Wei looks like she had been poisoned heavily. She keeps on vomiting everything that she had eaten…"
Prince Ji Shu furrowed his brows and stood up. He cupped his hands to the other people. "Please excuse me."
No one dared to stop him, but the servants' words had left them to their imagination. There were several causes for vomiting and the one thing that most of them thought was not poisoning but rather… pregnancy.
Of course, no one dared to utter it out in case it was wrong.
If Prince Ji Shu heard about them slighting his future princess, they might not be able to keep their head intact to their neck anymore. No one wanted to purchase the ticket to hell yet.
When Prince Ji Shu left, they started to send their own servants to inquire what had happened. Prince Ji Sheng was not an exception as he looked at Yang Xian. "Xian, go and figure out everything."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Yang Xian walked to the other side of the area and asked the servants. It only took him a few breaths of time to return back and told Prince Ji Sheng what had happened.
"First Miss Wei suddenly feel nausea and vomited everything that she had eaten. From the remains, there didn't seem to be anything suspicious. The physician has been summoned to check on her," Yang Xian gave his report.
Prince Ji Sheng tapped his plate. "Is the food here not suitable for someone like First Miss Wei?"
"Imperial Physician still hadn't given out his words."
"In that case, we shall wait here for news."
The official beside Prince Ji Sheng also heard what Yang Xian said. After all, Yang Xian purposely didn't lower his voice too much and allowed those who had decent martial arts to hear what he said.
Nothing wrong with the food?
With that sentence alone, the thoughts of some officials were already sent into a raging whirlwind. They already knew that Prince Ji Shu was not one to follow the rules and often acted according to his will.
Would it be possible that he was already impatient and…?

Many of them thought the same, but neither one of them dared to speak it out loud. Besides, Wei Hong was also present in this place and not a single one of them dared to speak about his daughter so openly to him.
However, Wei Hong still could sense their gazes as they looked at him.
"I'm going to check." Wei Hong couldn't stand it and hurriedly left the party. He was no longer in the mood to enjoy Princess Ji Xiaoli's birthday party celebration anymore. With his daughter's reputation at the stake, he needed to find out the truth as fast as possible.
As long as it was not true, he would do everything he could to restore her reputation.
Yang Xian watched the other servants as he stood on the back with solemn expression. He could already guess that it must be Wei Liuying's craft. Whatever she did just now made Wei Xiao felt nausea and eventually vomited.
It was truly the cause of poisoning. But if they couldn't figure out the poison, the suspicions will surely remain in their mind that Wei Xiao Hua was an indecent young lady.
'How ruthless, but I like this move of hers.'
Wei Xiao Hua had been going to such length in order to destroy Wei Liuying's reputation over and over. It was to the point that even Yang Xian was speechless when he heard how much Wei Xiao Hua wished to destroy Wei Liuying's reputation.
If only he didn't know how the two girls usually behaved, he would have thought that the two of them were archenemies and not step sisters.
On the other side of the curtain, the ladies were also fidgeting. The number of ladies who didn't like Wei Xiao Hua couldn't be counted. There were many who were jealous with Wei Xiao Hua's accomplishment. Yet, they would never dare to attempt something like this. This simply made everyone perplexed just who actually made their move.
The Imperial Physician was baffled when they checked Wei Xiao Hua's pulse. "Her pulse showed that she's normal."
"What do you mean normal?" Prince Ji Shu asked in annoyed tone. "What can cause her to vomit so much suddenly?"
"Replying to His Highness the Fourth prince, there might some substance within the food that was prepared today that's not suitable for First Miss Wei."

Prince Ji Shu's face turned dark. He looked at Wei Xiao Hua's servant. "Does she had any allergy to food?"
"There's none, Your Highness."
The servants were completely terrified now. They knew that Prince Ji Shu was terribly angry because Wei Xiao Hua suddenly vomited, yet the physician couldn't figure out what was wrong.
After asking several times, the physician couldn't conclude what was wrong. Aside from Wei Xiao Hua's urge to throw up and the nausea, she didn't really feel anything else. In the end, Ji Shu had to send the physician away in annoyance.
Wei Xiao Hua looked at her fiancé and forced a smile out. "I might have used too much of my vision lately and my body is tired."
"I shouldn't have asked you to tell me so much," Prince Ji Shu said with a crease on his forehead.
"It's fine. I'm happy to be able to be of help."
"You should care for your health more."
Wei Xiao Hua was smiling, but she knew very well that what she was saying was nothing more than a lie. She didn't use any power to tell him those vision because they were all simply based on her memories. However, she definitely couldn't say that to him.
She could only tell him that she could rarely see some kind of vision about the future while she herself was trying hard to make sure that everything was suitable.
It was not easy.
How she hoped that she was the original Wei Xiao Hua who transmigrated into this novel because that way, she would be able to survive and fare better. The real Wei Xiao Hua was a naturally cunning young lady who knew how to use her intelligence and wits to be able to get whatever she wanted.
"Your Highness, there's also one thing that I need you to help?" Wei Xiao Hua recalled the servant's discussion and her face turned red. She looked with pleading look at her fiancé.
"What is it?"
"That is to clarify that I… still…" Wei Xiao Hua's voice turned low. She felt embarrassed to say it straight to Prince Ji Shu's face.
Thankfully, Prince Ji Shu knew what she wanted to say. He nodded solemnly. "Don't worry. I know for sure that it's not true."
With his servants watching Wei Xiao all the time, there was no way he wouldn't know that she was still pure. The only person who had ever gotten close to her would be him and him alone. The others were already killed even before they could think of taking advantage of Wei Xiao Hua.
Prince Ji Shu stroked her forehead. "You should just rest here. I'll explain to Imperial Sister that you can't attend the rest of her party."
"Would it be suitable?"
"It's fine."
"En." Wei Xiao Hua closed her eyes then she looked at Prince Ji Shu in front of her. She then opened her mouth and spoke with hesitating tone, "Is Wei Liuying truly dead?"
Prince Ji Shu's hand stopped moving. His irises looked at his fiancée as he creased his eyebrows. Wei Liuying was still alive, but she couldn't possibly say that to Wei Xiao Hua. Especially after he promised her that Wei Liuying would have died during that chaos before.
After a while, Prince Ji Shu replied," Yes, she had died."
"Oh."
Wei Xiao Hua no longer speak, but Prince Ji Shu knew that there must be something that Wei Xiao Hua thought. For her to be asking about Wei Liuying at this point of time proved that his fiancée suspected that Wei Liuying was the one who did this.
But how?
It should have been possible for a runaway and criminal to enter this place. And if there was any servant that looked like Wei Liuying, Prince Ji Shu wouldn't stay silent and try to investigate.
"Rest well." Lowering his head, Prince Ji Shu kissed Wei Xiao Hua's forehead. "When you wake up, everything will be fine."
Wei Xiao Hua looked at Prince Ji Shu and smiled. "Yes, I believe in you."
"Good girl."
Prince Ji Shu walked out of the small house that Princess Ji Xiaoli had prepared. His eyes narrowed with dangerous glint. "Lou, investigate the servants in Princess Ji Xiaoli's Residence. Especially those who knows how to fight."
"Yes, Master."
If Wei Liuying was truly alive, Prince Ji Shu would do anything possible to eliminate her. He would not allow such unstable variable to exist in this world and disrupted his plan.
