The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

"How do you know? You're just a kid. How could you know what happened in our village?"

Aiden became agitated after he heard Henry's words.

Henry was frightened by Aiden. He moved two steps backwards and said, "I'm also from this village. My parents went to serve in the army a long time ago."

"What? You're actually their child?"

Aiden was stunned, and then he struggled to get up.

"Oh no! Don't tell them!"

He pounced on Henry like a wild animal.

Henry had never experienced such a thing before, and he was so scared that he kept moving backward.

Mango grabbed Aiden's collar and pulled him back abruptly. Then, she kicked Aiden into the pit with one foot.

"Please continue to show off if you want to be buried alive. I don't mind repeating what happened just now." Mango didn't look like she was joking at all, which scared Aiden instantly.

"Killing people is against the law."

"At least you still know that murder is illegal. I don't have the time to talk to you now. Well figure things out after I find Nathaniel."

After Mango finished her words, she got Noah to keep an eye of him here and then followed Henry to look for Nathaniel.

Noah got Zion to stay with him, and called Mango to the side.

"This is the antidote that I've prepared after coming here. Genevieve and I have already seen and done research on Nanny Zhang's poison. This is what we came up with. After we find Nathaniel, we'll get him to eat it no matter if it's useful or not. The most important thing is to save his life."

"Alright."

Mango had absolute faith in Noah.

She kept the antidote Noah gave her and then left with Henry.

Henry led Mango towards the other side of the cave.

"Blue nymph grass actually grows very close to this place. It's located in the graveyard ahead of us, but people who don't know about it can't find it easily."

Henry's words caused Mango's heart to ache once again.

Nathaniel had just woken up and came here for the blue nymph grass to cure her throat. She really did not know what she would do if something really happened to Nathaniel.

When Henry saw Mango's nervous expression, he said in a low voice, "Mrs. Ye, don't worry. This place isn't far from the place Aiden was buried. Mr. Ye will be fine."

"I hope so."

The two of them quickly went to the graveyard.

It was only then that Mango realized that this place wasn't far from the cave that they had fallen into. It was just that she didn't know that this graveyard was surrounded by miasma, so she couldn't see the direction clearly.

"Why is there a cemetery here? Wasn't the ones we passed by just now cemeteries as well?"

"This is the place where they bury villagers with a higher status, and the ones in front are the graveyards for ordinary villagers. We cultivated blue nymph grass at the beginning, and it became a special product of the cemetery here. There is miasma between the two graveyards. Generally speaking, people who don't live in the village don't know about it."

As Henry explained, he brought Mango forward.

All of a sudden, Mango saw a person lying in the middle of two tombs, with a blue blade of grass in his hand. The grass flickered with a silver light under the moonlight.

"Nathan?"

She ran towards him all of a sudden.

Henry said nervously, "Mrs. Ye, don't touch the blue nymph grass in his hand. Blue Star Grass needs special treatment to be smashed. It is poisonous from head to toe." As soon as these words came out, Mango was immediately stunned.

"So Nathan was poisoned by blue nymph grass?"

"I think so."

Mango understood instantly.

Nathaniel was in a hurry to find for the blue nymph grass, so Aiden used this to set a trap to poison Nathaniel.

Aiden is so vicious!

"Then how do we do it?"

"I'll do it."

Henry moved forward quickly, and took out a special tool to take the blue nymph grass out from Nathaniel's hand.

It was only now that Mango saw that Nathaniel's palm had turned black.

She stepped forward quickly and put the antidote that Noah gave her into Nathaniel's mouth, forcing it to melt.

Nathaniel's face was also ashen. There isn't any warmth in his body, but he was still breathing. Mango would freaked out at this moment if she couldn't sense a breathe from him.

She was worried about Nathaniel, but she did not dare to simply move Nathaniel. She just held him in her arms, and waited quietly for the drug to work.

After putting the blue nymph grass away, Henry looked at Nathaniel and said in a low voice, "Mrs. Ye, do we need to call Dr. Soo to come and have a look?" "No, I still have something to ask about Aiden.

Mango's eyes were fixed on Nathaniel this whole time.

The black on Nathaniel's face slowly receded after around 10 minutes.

The moment he opened his eyes, Mango hugged him and said in a choked voice, "I really don't want you anymore if you continue to risk your life like this again." Nathaniel paused for a moment and then reacted.

He patted Mango's back and whispered, "I'm fine." "You still say that you're ok after you got poisoned? Do you really think that you're undefeatable?"

Nathaniel seemed to have thought of something at this point of time and quickly pushed Mango away.

"Where's the blue nymph grass? Don't touch the blue nymph grass!"

"Mr. Ye, the blue nymph grass is here. I've put it away, but Mrs. Ye didn't touch it."

Henry said hurriedly.

Nathaniel took a sigh of relief after he looked at him and then looked at the the blue nymph grass in his hand.

"Are you the one that saved me?"

"I don't have that ability. Dr. Soo gave Mrs. Ye a pill."

Henry said with a smile.

Mango went forward to support Nathaniel and said in a low voice, "Dr. Soo guessed that Zhang Nan's poison might have something to do with the Blue Star Grass in this place since it was so unique that normal people wouldn't be able to dispel it. That's why he got me to let you eat this antidote that he and Genevieve have studied for quite some time now." "So that's how it is."

Nathaniel felt a little weak. He gasped and said, "Aiden was buried alive by me."

"I have dug him out. I think there is something strange about what happened that year. It might not be what Nanny Zhang had said. The one who was supposed to feel sorry for Nanny Zhang might not be the Ye family, but Aiden. Of course, this is just my guess. We still got to listen to what he have to say."

Mango said what she thought.

Nathaniel was stunned for a moment, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he held onto Mango's hand and walked towards the back.

Aiden freaked out when he saw Nathaniel standing in front of him in good condition.

"How could you be fine? It's hard to neutralize blue nymph grass' poison. How could you be fine?"

Looking at Aiden freaking out, Mango sneered, "He's Madeline's son, of course he'll be fine."

"What? Did Madeline pass this skill on to you? That bitch! Did she forget the rules of the stockaded village? The medical skills in the stockaded village are not supposed to be taught to outsiders! You are a child she gave birth to with a wild man outside the village even if you are her son. How can she teach you medical skills?"

Aiden's mouth was very dirty.

Although Nathaniel doesn't agree to some of Madeline's behavior, he still stepped forward and kicked Aiden into the pit again when he heard him insulting his mother like this.

"Do you still want to die again?"

Aiden felt a little painful after being kicked, but he still struggled. However, he quieted down immediately after recalling Nathaniel's excellent skill. "What do you want to do?"

"Tell me, did you have anything to do with the murder of the stockaded village years ago?"

Nathaniel looked straight at Aiden with his cold eyes.

Seeing that there was no way for him to escape, Aiden tugged at his head. "Yes. I did it. I was the one who took revenge on the whole village! It was me! That b*tch had a child with another man. She even wanted to leave the village and run away with that man. She don't even remember that she's my wife. Therefore, I secretly followed her out of the village. Then I met a man there. I heard that he was carrying out some mission. I told him the epidemic in the village was spreading quickly. Many people were about to die, so I asked him to report to his superior. In order to verify that what I said was true, I put poison in the well where everyone consume water from. Everyone in the village was sick within a night. When the superiors came to have a look, they confirmed that it was a plague The medical conditions at that time wasn't able to control the spread of the plague. They had no choice but to close the village."

Nathaniel clasped his hands tightly when he heard this.

"Is the leader's surname Ye?"

"It seems like it. I don't remember He's quite handsome."

Aiden was fearless.

Nathaniel was so angry that he really wanted to step forward and beat him to death. However, Mango stopped him.

"Don't Madeline know about this matter?"

"How could she know? She was pregnant when she left. She was busy hanging out with the wild man. She came back after the accident happened in the village. But so what? I was so happy to watch her kneel in front of the cemetery and repent with all the people in the village. I would have taken Madeline and the bastard in her belly away if that guy did not appear! You, the bastard, wouldn't have been born." "What did you say?"

Nathaniel seemed to have just caught the key point in Aiden's words.

"You mean I'm that bastard?"

"What? Didn't your mother tell you that you're the bastard who she had made when she had an affair and before getting married?"

"You are talking nonsense!"

Nathaniel grabbed Aiden's neck.

"How is this possible?"

How could he be the child of Madeline and his father if what Aiden said was true.

Wasn't him and Nick children that got raised by Madeline and his father through test tubes?

But according to the time, Madeline had only met his father after the village got destroyed. However, Aiden said that Madeline got pregnant before the village was destroyed.

"What the hell is going on?"

"Could it be that Madeline had given birth to a child before Nick and I?"

Nathaniel's mind was in a mess.

Mango knew how he felt.

She was also in such a chaotic mood and did not know what to do when she first got to know that she was not a child from the Shen family.

Seeing Nathaniel like this, Mango patted him on the shoulder and said in a soft voice, "Perhaps there are still some twists and turns in this matter. We can go back and investigate. There shouldn't be anything wrong with the fact that you are Madeline and your father's son. Otherwise, Isla wouldn't have admitted all of this."

Nathaniel looked at Mango, but didn't know what to say.

Zhang Yong was stunned for a moment as if he had realized something. He suddenly said fiercely, "Why? Aren't you Madeline and Augustus's son?"

"Who is Augustus?"

Nathaniel was sensitive enough to grab the name, but Aiden did not say a word.
