Chapter 250 - Cousin Lu Jia
The lady looked surprised when she noticed Yun Qianyu staring at her. With a cold and stern expression on her face, she gave Yun Qianyu a dangerous look, as though to warn her to back off.
Looking at the lady, Yun Qianyu suddenly felt familiar, as if she knew who this woman was.
Seeing that Yun Qianyu kept looking at her, the lady leaned over and whispered a warning, “Don’t be a busy body!”
As soon as the lady came close, a memory suddenly appeared in Yun Qianyu’s mind.
“Cousin.”
As soon as those words came out from Yun Qianyu’s mouth, the memory in Yun Qianyu’s mind became clearer. Finally, she knew why she felt a sense of familiarity when she saw the lady. That was because this lady was none other than her relative of the Lu family.
Her family used to be in charge of the minister of personnel. However, after they were charged with corruption, her cousin’s side of the family got punished.
Yun Qianyu knew from her memory that before her family was beheaded, her life was very good, since her uncle had treated this cousin of hers fairly well.
Yun Qianyu’s cousin Lu Jia was two years older than her and she had treated Yun Qianyu pretty good, just like her own sister.
Yun Qianyu did not expect her cousin Lu Jia to still be alive.
With sparkling eyes, Yun Qianyu reached out to Lu Jia’s hand and said in a soft voice, “Cousin, I’m Feather.”
In Yun Qianyu’s memory, she recalled her cousin calling her that.
As soon as Yun Qianyu said that, Lu Jia became stunned. Then she thought of something and held Yun Qianyu’s hand tightly. Choking up a little, Lu Jia said, “Feather, you’ve suffered a lot these years. I’m sorry, but don’t blame me for not coming to you. I was busy with revenge.”
Yun Qianyu knew she was telling the truth. In the past, Lu Jia would often visit her predecessor and treat her very well.
Thinking about the past, Yun Qianyu shook her head and said, “I’ve been well.”
After saying that, she quickly examined Lu Jia’s pulse and found that she was indeed hurt.
Yun Qianyu carefully took out a pill from the Phoenix Ring, swiftly placed it in Lu Jia’s hand and whispered, “Cousin, this is a pill for healing wounds. Take it quickly.”
Lu Jia was a little surprised and was stunned for a moment. She didn’t expect her cousin to have elixir pills on hand.
“Thank you, Feather.”
“It’s nothing. Quickly take it!”
Since Lu Jia was injured and her face was pale, if someone paid attention to her, they would certainly notice something was wrong. The reason why she was not found immediately was because of the rowdy crowd.
However, if the soldiers were to check, they would surely spot this injured person.
Immediately, Lu Jia lowered her head and consumed the pill without hesitation.
Yun Qianyu, on the other hand, looked around to check if anyone was paying attention. She didn’t want anyone to notice her.
In that moment, Yun Qianyu felt someone’s cold gaze on her. She became shocked and quickly turned to look behind her. Upon turning around, she saw that Xiao Jiuyuan was looking at the two of them, both Lu Jia and herself. Staring at the two, Xiao Jiuyuan mouthed out the words, ‘You’re a real troublemaker.’
This obviously meant that Xiao Jiuyuan knew something was wrong with this lady. However, Yun Qianyu was not worried. Since Xiao Jiuyuan was not friendly toward the Chiang family, he wouldn’t just oust this mysterious lady for no reason.
Ignoring Xiao Jiuyuan, Yun Qianyu just turned back to look at Lu Jia. After taking the pill, Lu Jia already looked much better.
Yun Qianyu felt relieved but soon became worried again when she recalled the soldier’s words.
They were going to bring a dog that could smell the scent of the poison.
