Chapter 12 – Miss Ye, Young Master woke up! (1)
Ye Zhen had always been a hedonist and believed in pursuing instant gratification. She had been quite satisfied with last night’s exercise.
She had high-level self-awareness. She was playing out Ye Zhen’s role, and Lu Beichuan saw her as his wife. For a husband and wife to do last night’s activities, it was perfectly normal.
However, she couldn’t accept being played around like a fool.
She walked to Lu Beichuan’s bed and leaned over to look at the Lu Beichuan’s sleeping face. She stared at his unmoving eyes as well as his black eyelashes.
If he was just pretending to sleep, there would definitely be a flaw.
The distance between her and Lu Beichuan was only the width of a fine hair. Ye Zhen’s shallow breathing blew over Lu Beichuan’s face. She could see his fine facial hair slightly moving. Ye Zhen’s eyes felt strained from how hard she was staring, but she didn’t see any flaws.
What great willpower!
Ye Zhen straightened up. She rubbed her sore waist as she walked over to the bathroom to wash up. She spent the rest of the day being absent-minded. To the point that even Mother Lu couldn’t resist asking her what was wrong.
Nighttime arrived in a flash. Ye Zhen passed by the kitchen and happened to see Lu Family’s old butler putting a white pill into a cup of warm milk.
The white pill had been taken out of a white bottle. After the pill was put into that warm milk, the old butler stirred it with a spoon.
Ye Zhen suddenly remembered. Every night, she would drink a cup of warm milk that was brought over by the old butler.
The old butler had been drugging her milk.
Why?
Ye Zhen didn’t have to think. The old butler put the cup of milk onto a tray. Ye Zhen hastily dodged behind a large flower vase. She waited there until he has passed through the living room and gone upstairs, then she went into the kitchen. The white bottle of pills had been left on the table. Ye Zhen took a pill out of the bottle, then acting as if nothing had happened, she went upstairs.
Before she could push the door open, the old butler came out from the room. Seeing Ye Zhen, he smiled and said, “Miss Ye, so you were out here.”
“Uncle Xiao, why were you looking for me?”
Uncle Xiao smiled. “I came here to bring you milk, Miss Ye. I left it on the table. Drink it while it’s still warm.”
While Uncle Xiao was saying this, Ye Zhen stared at his eyes, but his eyes were full of kindly affection. There was no hint of deception.
“Okay. Thank you for going through trouble.”
“No trouble at all. You should rest rest early. Goodnight.”
“Goodnight, Uncle Xiao.”
Ye Zhen naturally didn’t touch the cup of milk after going inside. She directly poured it into the toilet.
Just in case, Ye Zhen took out a tie from the closet and tied Lu Beichuan’s hands together. After tying a firm knot, she went to sleep without worries.
The next morning, when William was doing his daily examination of Lu Beichuan, Ye Zhen quietly called William to the side.
William thought she wanted to ask him about Lu Beichuan’s condition in private, so he didn’t think anything of it. He handed over the examination work to his assistant.
Ye Zhen presented the white pill that she had taken from the butler to William.
“Doctor, can you tell me what this medicine is for?”
William took the medicine. Ye Zhen continued to say, “I don’t have any idea what this medicine is for. If you can’t easily tell what this medicine is for, then can you…”
Not waiting for Ye Zhen to finish speaking, William smiled and looked at her as he asked, “Have you been feeling sore and weak lately?”
Ye Zhen blankly stared at him. Soon after, she nodded.
“I prescribed this medicine for you.”
Ye Zhen looked at him with a pair of very doubtful eyes.
“Old Master Lu saw how tired you are from taking care of Mr. Lu, so he had me prescribe a medicine to help you sleep and had the butler put it in your milk. This medicine lengths your deep sleep period.” William smiled. “Deep sleep can help alleviate your daily tiredness and boost your body’s metabolism. It’s very good for your health. Don’t worry, this medicine doesn’t have any negative effects.”
