The Rebirth of an Ill-Fated Consort

Chapter 189 : Pei'er

As Jiang Xin Eunwoo rushed over to the Jinying Wangfu, 'visibly alarmed' could barely be used to describe his expression. It was the middle of the night, and someone had suddenly broken into his room. And if that person hadn't revealed his identity in time, he would have been treated as an assassin. This person, who had come in a hurry, quickly relayed the news that something had happened to Jiang Lisa and urged him to go to the Jinying Wangfu immediately. Jiang Xin Eunwoo became anxious after listening and without caring about anything else, rode his horse towards the fu. The more he thought about it, the more vexed he became. How did something happen to his meimei who had been fine, and had just gotten married the day before? But the person had been vague and didn't elaborate. However, Jiang Xin Eunwoo knew in his heart that if it wasn't something important, Xiao Jungkook would not have invited him to come at this time.

Sure enough, as soon as he entered the gate of the main courtyard, he saw Bai Zhi and Lian Qiao waiting for him with tense expressions. Jiang Xin Eunwoo's heart sank, and he strode in; at a glance, he saw Xiao Jungkook hugging his sobbing meimei.

Ever since Jiang Lisa was brought back from the rural residence, she had never cried with such anguish. Even in front of Jiang Xin Eunwoo, she was always calm and composed. Jiang Xin Eunwoo knew that his meimei had been tempered to be extremely tenacious over the years. Thus when he saw her show of emotion, he was in a daze. The girl in front of him overlapped with the soft and weak girl from the past when Zhao Mei was still alive.

But he just lost his mind for a moment. Jiang Xin Eunwoo soon came back to his senses, and walked up to Jiang Lisa in two or three steps before asking in anger, "Ah Lisa, what's wrong with you? Did he bully you?"

Jiang Lisa was crying so hard that Jiang Xin Eunwoo's heart was agitated. He knew of no one in this world who could make her cry like this, but if it really was Xiao Jungkook.... Jiang Xin Eunwoo raised his head coldly. Ye Feng was a little nervous because if Jiang Lisa actually said yes, it seemed as though Jiang Xin Eunwoo would immediately strike Xiao Jungkook.

"She has been poisoned," Xiao Jungkook said lightly. "Now she is troubled by her inner demons, and is unaware of anything. Thus I called you here to ask you something. Did the Xia family conspire to kill you two siblings? Did she ever fall into someone's trap?"

"Poisoning, what are you talking about?" Jiang Xin Eunwoo frowned, not understanding what Xiao Jungkook was alluding to. However, seeing that Jiang Lisa didn't seem to be aware of his arrival, he realized something was wrong. So he took a step forward, bent down and approached Jiang Lisa, saying, "Ah Lisa?"

And yet Jiang Lisa remained in her muddled state, her eyes empty like a deep pool, but her words were clear, like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, exploding in Jiang Xin Eunwoo's ears. She said, "Dage, don't die, don't leave me alone."

Jiang Xin Eunwoo froze on the spot. Xiao Jungkook lowered his eyes and said, "Now you realize why I called you over."

"What's going on here?" Jiang Xin Eunwoo was not a fool, and seeing Jiang Lisa in an abnormal state, he already understood a little bit. He examined Jiang Lisa up and down but didn't see any wounds on her body, so he felt a little more at ease. Looking at Xiao Jungkook with a very unkind gaze, he demanded, "What's wrong with Ah Lisa? Why doesn't she even recognize me? It looks like she's been possessed." Then, recalling what Xiao Jungkook had just said, Jiang Xin Eunwoo was startled. "You said she was poisoned?"

"Yes." Xiao Jungkook looked at Jiang Lisa in his arms. She had been in such panic for too long, and the words she spit out from time to time contained endless secrets, each of which was heart-pounding and extremely shocking. As for himself, he now had many questions as a result of her revelations. Jiang Xin Eunwoo was Jiang Lisa's elder brother. He thought that Jiang Xin Eunwoo knew at least a little about some of these things, but now it seemed that these two siblings did not share everything with one another. Jiang Lisa had always sealed herself in a small space that no one could enter because of the deep secret she guarded.
