At the moment when he raised his head, he vaguely saw a trace of extremely small cold flashing, he thought he was dazzled, and when he wanted to take a closer look, he heard a very slight 'poof' sound in his ears, and the top of his collarbone suddenly seemed to be stung by an ant.

He was surprised and inexplicable, and when he looked at Xue Dongyuan again, he found that he was looking at him with a smile, and hurriedly lowered his head, only feeling extremely frightened in his heart.

Although Ding Yuan has not been in Xue Mansion for a long time, he also knows that Xue Dongyuan has studied under a famous family, just now, could it be that Xue Dongyuan did something? But there was no pause in the percussion.

I must have read it wrong!

Ding Yuan comforted himself like this, but he couldn't help but be afraid, and he didn't know if it was a psychological effect, he always felt that something was wrong all over his body, and there was a sullen pain that came from which part of his body, the pain was like a gentle wind and drizzle, making him mistakenly think it was his own delusion.

But after a while, it really began to hurt, first in his chest, like countless ants burrowing into it to gnaw and eat, so painful that he immediately screamed and fell to the ground.

Before he could slow down, the pain suddenly intensified, and the ants seemed to have turned into dense sharp blades, and at the same time poked into his bones, and the unimaginable pain gradually spread, spreading to the limbs, making him have a terrifying feeling that his body was about to fall apart and his flesh and blood were blurred.

"Ah......h

Ding Yuan screamed again and again, rolling on the ground in pain, but Zhang Lu and the others, who were kneeling on the side, ignored them and breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as he survives this hurdle, Ding Yuan can be regarded as Xue Dongyuan's henchman.

Ding Yuan's screams lasted for nearly a quarter of an hour before they slowly stopped.

"Why, is it something you'll never forget?" Xue Dongyuan took the time to admire his slender hands, which were so perfect that they could hardly find flaws, and the thin calluses between his fingertips were really not easy to detect if he didn't look closely.

Ding Yuan was sweating profusely, his face was as pale as paper, he was afraid and afraid in his heart, how could he dare to have a little second heart, what scared him the most was that he didn't even know how Xue Dongyuan made a move, let alone what kind of poison Xue Dongyuan had used, and whether there was a solution to this poison.

"Uncle spares his life......"

Ding Yuan, who was tossed to death, had no thoughts at this moment except begging for mercy in order to live.

Xue Dongyuan ignored Ding Yuan's begging for mercy, but asked Steward Zhang slowly: "Old Zhang, how many years have you followed me?" ”

Steward Zhang immediately replied, "It's been eight years." ”

"Eight years? Has it been so long? Xue Dongyuan made a look of surprise, "Then you are an old man next to me, why are you still kneeling, please get up quickly." He beckoned Dr. Lu again: "Changhe, you can get up too, don't kneel, go and take a look at Ding Yuan, see what is wrong with him, he can be cured if he is sick!" ”

"Yes, yes, the little one will heal him." Lu Changhe stood up as he replied, helped Ding Yuan, who was soft into a puddle of mud, to the elm mullion comb chair on the side and sat down, and took his pulse with a straight face.

Steward Zhang listened to Xue Dongyuan's words and knew that this level was passed, as long as Xue Dongyuan vented the unhappiness in his heart, there would be nothing in the future. In the past eight years, he has been able to understand Xue Dongyuan's temper thoroughly.

Xue Dongyuan made Ding Yuan suffer a little, just to ask Ding Yuan to remember who he should be loyal to.

Ding Yuan glanced at Xue Dongyuan with palpitations, and for the first time found that the smile on Xue Dongyuan's face was so fake, it looked like a smiling tiger wearing a mask.

"Can you see what kind of illness Ding Yuan has?" Xue Dongyuan put the boxwood carved plum blossom arm on the bookcase in his hand and played with it, and told Lu Changhe as if he was concerned: "Treat it well, Ding Yuan is a general under me, if you can't cure it, you are the only one who asks." ”

Lu Changhe said yes, promising to cure Ding Yuan.

Seeing them singing and harmonizing, Ding Yuan almost believed what Xue Dongyuan said, he was sick to do this, but he remembered a sentence he once heard, saying that Xue Dongyuan was thoughtful, extremely elusive, and ruthless to achieve the goal, he suddenly woke up, I was afraid that he didn't handle the eldest lady's affairs well enough, and he did too much, almost killing the eldest lady and annoying Xue Dongyuan, so Xue Dongyuan would take the opportunity to beat him.

"Elder Zhang, you are worthy of being the first person to follow me, and you really know me." Xue Dongyuan stroked his arm rest, and his tone was gentle, "You have done a good job, and you have won my heart." ”

"You must remember, I don't want the Lu clan to know anything about my eldest daughter, if a single thing leaks out of your mouth, then go to the dungeon and stay there, and have a good taste of torture."

The dungeon of the Xue family...... Just thinking about it makes me sweat all over my body.

Ding Yuan was really frightened this time, because he was the one who was in charge of the punishment, as long as he entered, there was nothing he couldn't ask, and no one had ever come out alive.

The beads of sweat on his forehead gathered into large drops of cold sweat and dripped down his cheeks.

Sure enough, danger and opportunity coexist, and what kind of trust you get, what kind of pressure you have to bear.

Xue Dongyuan is the best at giving you a stick and then giving you a sweet date, although he rectified Ding Yuan, so that Ding Yuan is still in the clouds, and he doesn't know what secret weapon he has hit, but in order to appease Ding Yuan, so that Ding Yuan can continue to serve him loyally, the good things he rewarded Ding Yuan are enough to make Ding Yuan give his life to repay him.

Among those rewards was a box of Ding Yuan's favorite gems, and the shining light of the pearl jade and agate crystals in it made Ding Yuan overjoyed, and with this box of jewelry, he could go to please his good friend again.

There are also five days off, and I can mix with my good friends for five days, how wonderful I think.

When there was only one housekeeper left in the outer study, the smile on Xue Dongyuan's face had already gathered.

He and Steward Zhang chatted a few more words about the affairs of Beijing, and there were quite a few complaints about the huge amount of money that would be spent every year.

That's nearly half of the Xue family's income in a year, both openly and secretly!

Xue Dongyuan's mood, Steward Zhang said that he understood very much, he knew the hidden situation here, but he knew it, but there was no way to do it, so he could only comfort Xue Dongyuan with the usual words: "Uncle has been away from Beijing for a long time, and he can only break the fortune and continue the favor." ”

Xue Dongyuan snorted, "If you say it well, it's your father-in-law, but if you don't say it well, it's a vampire who can't get enough of it, he cries with me when he opens his mouth and closes his mouth. ”

"The credit I have made over the years, which time did he not take it, he showed his merits in front of the emperor, and sat firmly in Beijing to eat and drink spicy food, when did I dismantle his stage? Which of his righteous sons is so good as I am? Who is like me, putting all the credit on him, and not wanting him to get a little bit of right and wrong? ”
