Chapter 1261: 615 Clearing the General Ledger (One More Update) Chapter 1261: 615 Clearing the General Ledger (One More Update) In the backyard, having witnessed the entire process of Viscount Xuanping being dragged away in a sack, Gu Jiao and Xiao Hen were simply at a loss for words.

It took Xiao Hen a long while before he could find a bit of his voice again, “My mother… she’s that fierce?”

Of course, Princess Xinyang wasn’t normally that ferocious, but that was after being drugged, wasn’t it?

“I guess it’s the effect of the medicine,” Gu Jiao whispered softly.

In her past life within the Organization, they had specialized drug training; she had tested every kind of drug and had successfully withstood them all, except she had never come across Illusion Number One.

It was said to be because the effects were too powerful; it was one of the three prohibited drugs in the Organization.

Xiao Hen’s hand broke out in a cold sweat, “Then this…”

He didn’t finish his sentence, but Gu Jiao understood. She said, “Effective with just a drop.”

Xiao Hen’s cold sweat broke out again, “Then how much did my mother drink?”

Gu Jiao silently held up her fingers, “Two bottles.”

Xiao Hen heard the sound of the sky falling; he stared blankly and asked, “So, should I be worried about my mother right now, or should I be worried about my father?”

Tonight was destined to be a restless night, the sky turned abruptly at dusk, with lightning and thunder, strong winds blew, and heavy rain poured down all night.

…

Princess Xinyang woke up amidst a wave of soreness. Her head hurt, her legs hurt, every part of her body ached.

For a moment, she couldn’t come to her senses and thought she was still in the Vermilion Bird Avenue Mansion; she mumbled in a daze, “Yujin.”

As soon as she spoke, she felt a burning pain in her throat, and her voice was so hoarse it was unrecognizable.

“Yujin.”

She called out again.

This time she was certain it wasn’t an illusion; she truly felt both tired and hoarse.

“Am I sick?”

She slowly lifted her sore arm, gasping from the pain. She intended to rub her forehead but touched something not quite right.

She opened her eyes wide to see.

Under her was—

Her complexion changed, and she rolled off that ghastly body with a swish!

She violently grabbed the blanket to cover herself and instinctively kicked the other person twice with her foot!

“Hmm…”

Viscount Xuanping was awakened by the kick; a magnetic low moan emerged from his throat, the man’s voice was also hoarse, but unlike the woman’s, it was differently mature and enchanting.

Princess Xinyang wished her ears would go deaf immediately!

She had not fallen off onto the floor, but rather to the inside of the bed.

The bed wasn’t large, or perhaps it was because the other person was too tall; stretched out, he took up the entire length. To get out of bed, she would have to crawl over him.

And he did not have a single piece of intact clothing on his body… none.

Princess Xinyang felt suffocated with one glance and hurriedly covered her eyes with the quilt!

At this moment, she also wished she could go blind!

She could manage all matters with balance and composure, except she found it extremely difficult to interact with men.

After all, Viscount Xuanping was a man, and a thick-skinned one at that. After a brief moment of grogginess, he came to his senses.

He looked at Princess Xinyang who had covered herself with the quilt and narrowed his eyes dangerously, “Qin Fengwan, what tricks are you playing now?”

“You, you get out of the way!” Princess Xinyang said, sitting in the corner of the bed, covering her head with the quilt.

Viscount Xuanping’s expression darkened slightly as he looked at her, “Qin Fengwan, what is this tone of disgust? Do I need to remind you what exactly you did to me yesterday, no, yesterday and last night combined?”

Images started to form in Princess Xinyang’s mind.

Her body stiffened gradually.

Her quilt was only half-covered, mainly over her head, with her legs and feet exposed.

Viscount Xuanping glanced at her and sneered, “Remember now? Qin Fengwan, after so many years, your skills have improved. You deliberately had Yujin drug me, and when I wouldn’t take it, you snatched it and took it yourself, claiming it wasn’t an attempt at deception toward me!”

Neither of them was a fool; it would be implausible to not realize at this point that something was wrong with those two bottles of drugs.

But Princess Xinyang didn’t do it on purpose!

It was definitely the medicine given to her by little Jingkong for leg cramps, how could it… have such an effect?

If she claimed ignorance now, if she said she was innocent, this man probably wouldn’t believe her.

After all, he already suspected her intentions towards him on a normal day, and now that something had really happened… it was as if she could never clear her name, even if she jumped into the Yellow River.

Viscount Xuanping looked like he knew all along, “Can’t say anything now, can you? Knew you did it on purpose! How much wrong medicine did you take? You almost cost me half my life.”

Princess Xinyang’s face turned beet red!

Can’t a grown man save himself some face?

Princess Xinyang gave up arguing with him about the medicine; she could not let him lead her by the nose—she had to take back control.

She steadied herself, trying to speak calmly, “If you knew I had taken the wrong medicine, why didn’t you push me away?”

Xuanping Marquis chuckled coldly, “Qin Fengwan, don’t you want to see what you’ve done to me?”

Princess Xinyang slowly pulled down the quilt covering her head a little, revealing a pair of swollen eyes from crying, she glanced tentatively at the upper body of Xuanping Marquis.

The result was that both hands of Xuanping Marquis were tightly bound to the head of the bed.

Princess Xinyang: “…!!”

A look of incredible panic flickered in her eyes; Xuanping Marquis caught her expression and shook the ropes in his hands, the corners of his lips curving up in mockery, “I did not see that coming, Qin Fengwan. So you have such a preference?”

Princess Xinyang wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into!

Was that her cup of tea? She, she was just afraid he would run away—

But that wasn’t her!

She had taken the wrong medicine and lost all reason, not clear at all about what she was doing!

“But… don’t you possess…,” Princess Xinyang tried to change the subject, hastily coming up with any excuse she could think of, but she stopped halfway when she saw chunks of plaster scattered on the floor and a hammer lying on them.

Great, the possibility of him shattering the plaster and sharing her bed with internal force was also killed.

Princess Xinyang blushed, and stealing a glance at him, she said, “If you didn’t, you know, then I couldn’t…”

Xuanping Marquis frowned, “Qin Fengwan, I am not a eunuch.”

And with that, he had hammered shut that avenue of escape!

Princess Xinyang bit her lip hard.

She still didn’t give up; she still felt this issue couldn’t solely be her own fault.

Suddenly, some images flashed through her mind, she sat up straight and said seriously, “Alright, even if it was my fault at first, but… but afterward, wasn’t it you who…?”

Xuanping Marquis was driven to laughter by her, chuckling, “That’s because your technique was lacking, you almost—”

Princess Xinyang exploded!

Heaven and earth, somebody stitch his mouth shut!

…

It was the next evening when Gu Jiao and Xiao Hen were summoned to Vermilion Bird Avenue by Princess Xinyang.

Princess Xinyang had already returned to her room, had washed up a bit, dressed neatly, as if nothing had happened at all.

But her aura was cold.

Gu Jiao and Xiao Hen both felt a chill at their necks.

Xiao Hen imperceptibly took a step forward, shielding Gu Jiao behind him, bearing the brunt of their mother’s fury alone.

Princess Xinyang could hardly contain her anger, “You, get out! I have words for her!”

Of course, Xiao Hen had no intention of leaving Gu Jiao under Princess Xinyang’s wrath. He said, “It’s not Jiaojiao’s fault; it was me.”

Princess Xinyang scolded angrily, “Even if it was you, I told you to get out!”

She really wanted to settle scores with the two little ones, but not right now.

She had more important things at hand.

“Go on,” Gu Jiao whispered to Xiao Hen, “she can’t beat me.”

Princess Xinyang: “…”

Xiao Hen oh’ed and left.

Princess Xinyang was even more furious now, not knowing exactly why she herself was so angry, but since last night’s event, everything she looked at was irritating!

“Close the door!” Princess Xinyang barked towards the entrance.

Xiao Hen’s mouth twitched as he closed the door, my mother is so fierce.

Princess Xinyang took a deep breath, suppressing the roiling anger, and slowly asked, “Do you have any contraception medicine?”

Gu Jiao was startled.

Is she asking for a morning-after pill?

So… shocking?

Doesn’t she like children?

Princess Xinyang liked children, but she did not have the confidence to become a mother again.

“I’ll check,” Gu Jiao said as she placed the first aid kit on the table and started rummaging through it.

But where was there any morning-after medication?

The kit was brimming with pills for pregnancy, prenatal charms, progesterone tablets, iron folic acid tablets…

The bottles even had adorable baby faces printed on them.

Gu Jiao looked at the first aid kit with a heavy heart. Are you kidding me?

Although Princess Xinyang could not read the words on them, she could still guess their purpose from the pictures, and she bit down on her silver teeth!

Gu Jiao blinked innocently, “If I say these weren’t prepared by me, would you believe me?”
