Chapter 264

The food Mr. Bai sent this afternoon was richer than in the morning. Her mother ate a few more bites, while she didn't eat much, which was why she didn't fall for it...?

Jiang Xiaoxiao subconsciously touched her stomach. Was it because she couldn't sleep because her stomach was uncomfortable while lying on the bed just now because the food had a problem?

She didn't think much, reached out and pushed Jiang Wei on the bed: "Mother, wake up..."

The person on the bed didn't move.

Jiang Xiaoxiao was a little anxious.

Her mother was indeed having problems because of that food. Usually, it was impossible for her to sleep so soundly.

"Mother... Mother..." Jiang Xiaoxiao lowered her voice and called out anxiously twice.

She didn't dare to make the sound too loud. If those men came back and heard it, it would be over.

But her mother was still lying on the bed, not moving, sleeping soundly.

Jiang Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth, simply climbed onto the bed in the dark, pried open her mother's mouth, and poured the ability water into it.

Not long after, Jiang Wei's body moved.

Too much water was poured, and Jiang Wei choked and coughed twice.

Seeing this, Jiang Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief: "Mother, you finally woke up!"

Jiang Wei sat up from the bed, holding her faintly aching forehead, and frowned tightly: "What happened?"

Jiang Xiaoxiao hurriedly recounted the problem with the food and the group of people outside the window.

Jiang Wei frowned tightly, waved her hand, and took out the unfinished food from the space.

Before eating, she had already checked the food and didn't find any problems before she dared to eat it with peace of mind.

It seems that there must be some sleeping pills in this food that she couldn't check.

She still underestimated the people of this era.

"Mother, could there be... Monghan Powder in this food?" Jiang Xiaoxiao guessed.

Monghan Powder was a miraculous medicine that worked every time in the original text.

Although it had no strong poison, it could make people drowsy and had a strong hypnotic effect, making people forget everything that happened in the middle when they woke up.

Jiang Wei hesitated for two seconds and looked at Jiang Xiaoxiao with strange eyes: "How do you know about things like Monghan Powder?"

Jiang Xiaoxiao: "..."

Damn, she slipped up again.

"Haha..." She could only pull the corners of her mouth and laugh dryly, "Mother, you forgot, you showed me a book before, called something like Water Margin, it mentioned Monghan Powder in it..."

Jiang Wei nodded thoughtfully: "So that's how it is... Did you finish that book?"

Seeing that she had escaped a disaster, Jiang Xiaoxiao smiled sweetly: "Yes, anyway, I had nothing to do usually, so I finished it."

What she said was not false. The books in this era were extremely rare, and the cultural heritage was completely incomparable to the world of her previous life. There were very few reading materials.

She usually read books at home when she had nothing to do, reading the books Jiang Wei took out of the space.

Jiang Wei nodded and didn't ask about the Monghan Powder anymore, but said earnestly: "You are still young, reading this kind of book is not suitable. Next time I will find some fairy tale books for you to pass the time."

Jiang Xiaoxiao: "... Okay."

Attention returned to the food sent by Mr. Bai.

Jiang Wei rummaged in the space for a while, then took out a plastic box, put all the remaining food in it, and said: "I can't see the problem in the food for the time being. I'll find someone to check it later. Now I need to figure out why that group of guys wants to drug us."

Jiang Xiaoxiao was also puzzled. That group of people wanted to drug the wealthy mistress on the second floor because they liked her money, but she and her mother didn't show any signs of being rich and powerful during this period. Why drug them?

She thought for a moment and asked: "Mother, could they be trying to test the medicine on us?"

Jiang Wei frowned and didn't speak.

She couldn't think of a reason for this either.

"Forget it, since I know they have the ability to poison the food, we'll just avoid eating it... But if they dare to provoke me, I don't mind throwing them into the sea to feed the fish."

At the end of the sentence, coldness flashed in Jiang Wei's eyes.

Having transmigrated here for so long, this was the first time she had fallen for someone else's trick.

This incident also taught her a lesson: never underestimate the people of this era.

They had their own ways and wisdom. Once you underestimate them, they might give you a fatal blow in this inconspicuous moment.

"Mother..." Jiang Xiaoxiao said cautiously, "That group of people wants to drug the mistress on the second floor, should we..."

Jiang Wei's gaze swept over.

Jiang Xiaoxiao immediately closed her mouth.

She knew that her mother had always hated trouble and would not provoke trouble without authorization. Wanting her to help save that mistress, I'm afraid...

She admitted that this idea of hers was a bit saintly, but the person was pregnant after all. If she knew that the other party was about to be in danger but stood by and watched, she would feel uneasy...

Jiang Wei rubbed her forehead and didn't speak.

After a long time, she spat out a sentence: "We'll see."

Anyway, no matter what, she wouldn't let that group of robbers go.

Jiang Xiaoxiao was very happy to hear this. Her mother agreed to save people!

The sky gradually brightened.

The thin white daylight shone on the deck through the ship's side. People who had slept for a night climbed up from the deck one after another, and before they could stretch, they immediately checked their bundles.

Finding that the bundles were intact and no one had touched them, they relaxed their expressions and began to chat with the people beside them about what to eat this morning...

Jiang Xiaoxiao rested her chin, lying on the window, looking at the crowd chatting on the deck, her eyes observing everyone calmly.

She wanted to find the two people who conspired last night.

There should be more than two of them. Besides the cook being an accomplice, this group should have quite a few accomplices.

But Jiang Xiaoxiao observed for a long time and couldn't see any clues.

She wanted to judge whether the two people from last night were hidden among them based on the voices of those people, but obviously not.

But thinking about it, those two people had been lurking on the ship for a long time and should not be these ordinary people who just boarded the ship.

They probably had their own errands on the ship, so it would be difficult to find them...

Jiang Xiaoxiao frowned with a small face. This merchant ship would arrive in Xuzhou in two days. That group of people would definitely take action tonight. She must find a way to remind that mistress not to eat the food sent by the ship today.

Just as she was thinking, the door was knocked.

Jiang Xiaoxiao opened the door and saw it was Yu'er, the little maid beside that mistress.

She subconsciously looked at the empty room behind Jiang Xiaoxiao and said with an embarrassed face: "Xiaoxiao, my mistress is seasick again... that, where is your mother? I want to find her to take a look at my mistress."

After saying this, she seemed afraid that Jiang Xiaoxiao would refuse, and immediately added: "Don't worry, I will definitely pay you the consultation fee."

Seasick again...

Jiang Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes. If she was seasick, wouldn't she be unable to eat anything?

That group of people put the medicine in the food. As long as the mistress didn't eat it, she wouldn't fall for it.

"I'm sorry, my mother went to find Mr. Bai, I don't know when she will be back." Jiang Xiaoxiao smiled apologetically, "And, my mother also said before that the medicine for seasickness is a secret medicine passed down from our ancestors, only this one pill, and it's gone."

The little maid Yu'er could only leave with a disappointed face.
