706: Chapter 706: Young Master, Somethingâs Wrong (5)_1 706: Chapter 706: Young Master, Somethingâs Wrong (5)_1 Although the banquet at Dingxiang Academy was arranged separately, it was evidently done with great care; the various dishes were very exquisite, including two dishes that the patriarch had specially commanded to be sent over.
Xun Huiâs face broke into a smile, clearly feeling comfortable.
However, halfway through the meal, Fang Tianze, who had promised to come over after a while, still hadnât shown up.
Yang Ruxin didnât know why, but she felt a bit uneasy.
She immediately called over Liuyun, âGo see whatâs keeping your young master.
Didnât he say he would come over?
Why isnât he here yet?â
Liuyun, hearing this, hurriedly nodded, instructed the two servant girls waiting on them, and then ran off.
It was only a couple of minutes after she had dashed out when suddenly, a commotion of footsteps could be heard.
Then, Liu Guang appeared, drenched in sweat.
In his haste, he tripped upon entering the door and fell flat on the ground, but he paid no mind to the pain.
Prostrating himself on the floor, he blurted out, âLady Xinxin, hurry, something terrible has happened to our young masterâŠâ
Right behind him followed a bewildered Liuyun, who had obviously seen Liu Guang run past and hurried in after him.
Everyone elseâs faces turned pale.
Yang Ruxin was startled and rushed over to help Liu Guang up, glancing at Liuyun, âYou stay here and take care of my brothers and sisters.
Iâll go see what happened.â There was no time for detailed questions, and she could only ask while on the move.
âBig sister, Iâll come with you,â Sanni hurried over to say.
âNo need for you to come.
Let Dabao come with me,â Yang Ruxin glanced at Sanni.
âBe careful here, and donât trust anyone asking you to go out or anything.â
âDonât worry, I will also stay here on guard,â Liuyun quickly assured.
Yang Ruxin, accompanied by Zhou Xiao, followed Liu Guang and ran outside.
Liu Guangâs hands were torn from the fall, but he couldnât bother with that now.
As they moved, he recounted what had happened.
During the birthday celebration, Fang Tianze had been by the old masterâs side.
Afterward, he went to have a chat with Yuan Mengzhu and was preparing to come over when a servant girl accidentally spilled some tea on him.
Fang Tianze went back to change his clothes, but just after he came out, he suddenly collapsed to the groundâŠ
Yang Ruxinâs brow furrowed so tightly it seemed it could kill mosquitoesâshe was truly troubled by the struggles within the grand estate.
Fang Tianzeâs residence was called Xiyue Residence, reflecting the past hopes of the Fang couple for their son.
But at that moment, not a hint of joy could be seen in the entire yard.
Because many guests were still there, only a few members of the Fang Family were present.
Yuan Mengzhu had already cried to the point her eyes were red, while Su Shouren was at a loss for what to do.
He was only able to diagnose that Fang Tianze had been poisoned but had no clue what poison it was or how to treat it.
As soon as Yang Ruxin entered the room, everyoneâs eyes lit up.
âXinxinâŠâ Yuan Mengzhu, wiping away tears, rushed over and was about to kneel down, âPleaseâŠâ
âAunt Yuan,â Yang Ruxin steadied her, âHeâs my brother, and I wonât let anything happen to him.â With that, she proceeded straight into the inner chamber.
Fang Dehua quickly pulled his wife over to lean against him, no longer caring whether it was proper etiquette at this point.
âMiss YangâŠâ Su Shouren naturally followed her in.
As a disciple of Dao Xuzi, even a glance from him could provide immense benefits.
Although it might seem a bit thick-skinned, he couldnât care less.
As long as the young lady didnât send him away, he was ready to assist.
âMy medical skills are limited, indeed.
I can only determine that young master Fang has been poisonedâŠâ
