Hong Mei's arm was covered in red lumps, as if they were crawling with insects. It was both terrifying and disgusting.

Strangely, there was no pustule on Red Plum's arm.

"This... This... "Eldest Miss …" Hong Mei looked at her terrifying arm and cried towards Liu Ruer for help. She did not expect to retreat continuously, as if she was the source of the infection.

"How is it? Madame, what more do you have to say? " The poison that Liu Xinyue had given Hong Mei was slow, so its effects were slower than Liu Ruer's. At the same time, it did not have such an obvious reaction.

"That's not right!" Mother, I have never left the manor today. Furthermore, I went to this little bastard's place before I got sick! " Hearing that, Liu Ruer immediately pointed at Liu Xinyue and cursed, "It must be you! It must be you little bastard trying to pull some kind of trick! "

"Mother, arrest her!"

"Oh? Is that right? "Xinyue?" After He Jinlan heard this, she looked at Liu Xinyue, as if she wanted to see how she could argue this time.

"Madam, little sister Ru Er did come to my courtyard just now. If there is a problem with my courtyard, then why was I not infected at the time? Why am I infected now that I've met her?" Liu Xinyue slowly said.

"You … is you... You must be the one behind it! " After getting hit by Liu Xinyue's words several times, Liu Ruer was already at a loss of what to say. In the end, he could only insist that it was Liu Xinyue who did it.

"Mother, I don't care. You have to uphold justice for me, and for Ru'er!" Seeing that He Jinlan did not react, Liu Ruer panicked and immediately ran to He Jinlan's side, pulling on his sleeves and acting like a spoiled child.

However, He Jinlan seemed to believe that the people he met would be infected, and he unsheathed his sleeves from the other party's hands without leaving a trace, at the same time allowing Xia Gu to separate the two.

"Mother …" Liu Ruer looked at He Jinlan with a wronged expression.

"Alright, Ru'er. Now that things have come to this, for the sake of everyone's safety, I can only isolate you first. Once you recover from your illness, I'll naturally be able to release you!" He Jinlan thought for a while, if there were only her few trusted aides and Liu Xinyue here, then getting rid of Liu Xinyue would only be a matter of minutes, but now there were too many people around, if Liu Xinyue's words were to spread out, it would be easy.

"Mother!" How can you do this?! Right now, we have to punish this little bastard, not isolate me! " Hearing that, Liu Ruer became anxious, and anxiously said: "Mother, good mother, don't isolate me, I am not sick, and am not contagious!"

"Be obedient Ru'er. When the time comes, mother will go to the palace and ask for an imperial physician to treat your illness. Once the illness is cured, you can come out." He Jinlan also could not bear it, but she had no choice.

But to let her daughter be like this, He Jinlan would not let Liu Xinyue pass easily.

"Xinyue, although the illness is not related to you, she did not come back until after she went to your courtyard. You also have half a part of the responsibility." After muttering to himself for a moment, He Jinlan slowly said, "How about this, that disorderly burial site at the back of the mountain has an unending stench. Recently, it has affected the front courtyard, so I'll punish you to go and clean it up."

"Yes, ma'am." Liu Xinyue knew from the moment she entered that the punishment would not go away. The key point was that it was more or less a small punishment, and now that she heard it, she was quite happy, and could go and take a look at the Bone Corpse Flower.

"Mother, this punishment is too light. Did you say …" Hearing that, Liu Ruer was immediately dissatisfied, it was simply letting Liu Xinyue off too easily!

"Enough. Someone bring the second young miss back to her room. Don't let her out until she's cured!" Seeing that Liu Ruer was about to say something that he shouldn't have, He Jinlan immediately cut her off and ordered his men to take her away.

"Hmph, mother, if you won't help me, then I'll go look for Qi gege!" Liu Ruer flung the guard's hand away, glared at him fiercely, and ran out.

Since He Jinlan could not help her, she would look for Xiahou Qi to help her deal with Liu Xinyue!

Hearing this, Liu Xinyue laughed in his heart, he did not know whether your brother Qi had woken up or not.

"If you have nothing to do, then leave." Seeing that Liu Xinyue was still standing, He Jinlan felt that he was an eyesore.

"Yes, ma'am." Following which, Liu Xinyue left the Jinlan Academy.

After Liu Xinyue walked a distance away and arrived at a relatively secluded place, he stopped.

"He's been following us for so long, but he still hasn't come out?"
