C16 She Was Under Close Care

She thought that it was probably his plan to get close to her mother and treat her like a guest. It was just like how Jun Lin Feng got close to her.

In this world, the coldest thing was a man's sincerity.

She smiled and revealed a cold arc. This time, she did not speak and only returned to her senses. She hugged her mother and placed her chin on her mother's back as she muttered, "Mother, don't be afraid. With Ya Er here, you can be at ease."

With her here, she would definitely find out the true reason why her mother died from a serious illness. With her here, she would not let her mother be bullied again.

Yun Liu Ya began to secretly observe Ning Wan's diet and living conditions, including the servants and attendants who served her every day.

At night, Yun Liu Ya used the excuse of being afraid of the dark to stay in Ning Wan's room and not leave.

Ning Wan couldn't help but smile helplessly and said, "This girl is getting more and more clingy. She didn't say that she was afraid of the dark and wouldn't leave before."

However, in the end, Ning Wan still compromised. Yun Liu Ya stayed in her mother's room as she wished that night.

In the evening, after finishing dinner, Yun Liu Ya came to Ning Wan's room early and leaned against the bed silently. She looked at her mother who was busy preparing bath water for her.

It could be seen that Yun Hao Tian had not been in her mother's room for a few days. All the facilities in the room were cold and terrifying.

She couldn't help but hate herself. Why was she so stupid back then that she could not see the estrangement between her parents and was played by others?

Yun Liu Ya leaned her head against the carved wooden frame beside the bed and looked at Ning Wan, who was not far away. The corner of her mouth unconsciously curled into a satisfied smile.

Right now, the only person who could make her let go of her tensed emotions and rest for a while was her mother.

Suddenly, her eyes narrowed as she saw her mother trembling slightly beside the screen. She seemed to be unable to stand still, but she did not expect to be discovered by her. Her fingers were tightly clenched beside the wooden bucket, and she was still enduring.

"Mother!" Yun Liu Ya quickly got up and rushed over. When she got closer, she realized that her mother was already sweating, and even her lips were turning white.

When she supported her, Ning Wan tried her best to squeeze out a smile from the corner of her dry mouth and comforted Yun Liu Ya, "Ya Er, don't worry. It's just an old problem."

"Old problem? Mother, haven't you been better these few days? Where is the old problem?" Yun Liu Ya carefully supported Ning Wan onto the bed. When she heard Ning Wan say this, she couldn't help but lose control. Although her tone was filled with blame, it carried a heavy nasal sound. Ning Wan leaned against the bed and rested for a while, and her expression also eased up a little. Only then did she raise her eyes to look at Yun Liu Ya, who was nervously holding her hand. Her palm was already sweating. She said to Yun Liu Ya, "Alright, look at how scared you are. Mother just feels a little tired."

Her words carried a heavy sense of exhaustion, and it was a double meaning.

"No, Mother can't feel tired. Ya Er won't allow Mother to feel tired. No." Yun Liu Ya finally managed to control her emotions and became agitated again. As she spoke, her eyes turned red.

In the end, Yun Liu Ya had a weakness. When she saw her mother like this, she could no longer hide her fear.

Now, she only had her mother left. If she couldn't protect her from her mother, she really didn't know what to do.

As the moonlight gradually deepened, Yun Liu Ya was afraid that the candlelight would disturb Ning Wan's sleep, so she extinguished the fire and walked to the window and closed it.

The moon was full tonight, and the moonlight was especially gentle. Yun Liu Ya looked through the gap in the door and turned to look at her mother who was sleeping soundly on the bed. The emotions in her eyes became more and more unfathomable.

In fact, she really couldn't understand why her father didn't like such a beautiful mother, but he liked that noisy aunt.

Her mother said that this was an old problem, and it seemed like she was deliberately hiding something. She thought that after these few days of recuperation, her mother's body had already become much better, but why did she suddenly feel so pained?

Could it be...

Yun Liu Ya's gaze landed on the wooden bucket behind her mother's side.

Because her mother didn't like being disturbed, she had overlooked this.

"Mother, Ya Er's words are true," Yun Liu Ya muttered to herself. Since fate had allowed her to come back, how could she easily repeat the same mistake?

Yun Liu Ya lightly walked to the wooden bucket, and her expression was extremely heavy.

If that was really the case...

Yun Liu Ya calmed herself down and casually picked up a flower petal from the water. She gently rubbed it and placed it under her nose to smell it carefully.

Yun Liu Ya squinted her eyes. Her mother never liked fragrant flowers, so there was definitely something wrong with this flower.

In order to confirm her thoughts, Yun Liu Ya picked a few of the flowers that had already been soaked in water and placed them in front of the dressing table.

The next morning, Ning Wan got up and saw that there was still water stains on the simple dressing table. Although she was a little suspicious, she did not ask any further questions since the servants had not cleaned it thoroughly.

Yun Liu Ya asked Hua Qing to bring the flowers that she had secretly hidden away last night to the doctor outside the residence to verify her thoughts. "Gentleman, this flower petal..." Hua Qing was a little anxious. The Miss was still waiting for him to report back.

The white-haired old man rubbed the flower in his palm unhurriedly, his eyebrows furrowed. "Little girl, who has a deep grudge with your Miss? This Demon Tail Bird is a very strong poisonous creature!"

"Gentleman, are you sure? Isn't this flower a tree?" When Hua Qing heard this, he was anxious.

The old man glared at Hua Qing unhappily. "I'm old, I'm not stupid! This is the Demon Tail Bird, but it looks like a tree. Little girl, don't be fooled by its appearance!"

When Hua Qing returned, Yun Liu Ya was already anxious. "What did the doctor say?"

Hua Qing's expression changed. After hesitating for a while, he clenched his teeth and said, "Miss, this flower petal contains a slow-acting poison. The old doctor said that it is a poisonous creature called Demon Tail Bird. Because its appearance is similar to a tree, it is easy to be confused."

Although her guess was not far off, Yun Liu Ya was still shocked by the cruelty of the backyard. They actually used such a poisonous flower.

"Miss?" Hua Qing looked at Yun Liu Ya's face worriedly.

"Yes, I'm fine. Go and change the flower petals of your mother. Remember, don't let anyone find out." After instructing Hua Qing, Yun Liu Ya immediately rushed to Susu Qing Xuan.

There were still many suspicious points in this matter. The most important thing now was to inform Ning Wan. If this matter was left unattended, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Ya Er, why are you so late today? It's already past noon." Ning Wan could not hide the joy on her tired face when she saw her daughter.

"Mother, I have something to say." Yun Liu Ya's serious expression made Ning Wan suspicious.

After dismissing everyone, Yun Liu Ya carefully inserted the door lock.

"What is it that requires such a big fuss?" Ning Wan curiously stared at Yun Liu Ya. Her serious face could not hide her beauty.

Yun Liu Ya sat on the chair and took a deep breath. "Mother, your body hasn't been getting better because someone in the mansion poisoned you."

Hearing her daughter's words, Ning Wan did not seem to panic at all, as if she had already known about it.

Yun Liu Ya was a little confused. She did not expect her mother to listen to her words so calmly.

"I understand my body. I more or less guessed that it was because of something else that it didn't get better, but I never thought it was poison." Ning Wan sighed slightly, her voice full of vicissitudes.
