Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 585 - 584: One Night to the West

"I have recently felt uneasy, always sensing that something significant is going to happen," she said to Fei Ye and Liu Chuchu, "You both should prepare early, regardless of the outcome, we must leave at the first opportunity."

"Yes!" The two responded and withdrew.

Huang Shu stood up and walked to the window, gazing at the bustling street, her eyes filled with silence.

If you ask her the thing she regrets most in this life, it would be contending with the Xu family for Chen Qi.

Alas, alas, what use is regret? There is no going back!

She softly closed her eyes, reaching out to close the window.

A few days later, at the foot of Snow Moon Mountain, a convoy of carriages was proceeding majestically.

There was no wind on any side, the grass and trees stood still, and apart from the sound of wheels turning, it was almost silent.

At this moment, everyone in the carriage understood in their hearts that this was nothing but the calm before the storm.

"Whoa~"

As the sound of horses being reined in echoed, all those who had been resting with their eyes closed opened them, for Yongning Manor had arrived.

"We’ve arrived!" Duan Yunfei said in a low voice, "Are you very tired?"

Due to the urgency to return, the road trip took place almost without pause.

Traveling day and night without rest, not to mention a young lady like Shen Qinglan, even he, a man, felt somewhat weary.

Shen Qinglan smiled, "It’s alright!"

Duan Yunfei got off the carriage and helped her down, then entered the manor with everyone. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Feng Wuya had heard from people on the mountain early on that they were arriving, so he led a group waiting outside the manor gates.

"Godfather, Yunfei..."

Feng Wuya went forward to greet everyone individually before walking back with Duan Nian and the others.

It wasn’t until they reached Duan Nian’s study that everyone stopped walking.

Duan Nian opened the study door and then turned back, saying, "Come in, all of you!"

The group nodded and followed him inside.

After closing the door, Xuan Hua and his two sons stood by the entrance, while Shen Qinglan, Duan Yunfei, Le Zhao, Feng Wuya, and the Great Elder sat in the innermost area.

"Young master, has Chen Qi still been looking for you these past two days?" the Great Elder asked in a low voice.

"Yes!" Feng Wuya replied, "Last night, he even sent Elder Yan over, telling me to prepare early, preferably to drug Yunfei when you return."

"What kind of drug?" Duan Nian asked.

Feng Wuya took out an exquisite jade bottle and handed it to Duan Nian, "This one."

Duan Nian took it, lightly sniffed the bottle cap, and immediately sneered, "This is poison from the Poison Sect, One Night Return to the West."

"One Night Return to the West?" The Great Elder frowned, "How could Chen Qi have something like this?"

Duan Nian spoke calmly, "When the Poison Sect was exterminated back then, during the disposal of the poisons, many sects secretly kept the formulas; it’s not surprising that Chen Qi would have it!"

Though One Night Return to the West was not the most potent poison of the Poison Sect, it was among the top five.

Those who took this poison would not feel any discomfort, but once they fell asleep, they would never wake up again.

He closed the jade bottle and handed it to Feng Wuya, "Take this poison pill and dispose of it, then replace it with a pill of similar color and taste."

Feng Wuya nodded and quickly handed it over to Mo Liu to handle.

"Order everyone in the manor not to go out in the next two days," Duan Nian summoned Xuan Hua and instructed in a low voice, "Remember, don’t make too much noise, so as not to startle the snake."

Xuan Hua nodded, "Yes!"

Duan Nian looked at Duan Yunfei, "Yunfei, regarding the upcoming matters, I trust I don’t need to tell you what to do?"

Duan Yunfei nodded, "Rest assured, Father, I understand."
