The Concubine Strikes Back: The Marquis Insists on Me to Be His Wife

"Okay, I believe you~ By the way, I applied the medicine I made for the old lady today, it should be effective tomorrow."

"I'm counting on you to cure my mother's illness! But I also have an illness that needs your treatment, so you should cure me first!"

Seeing that Su Qing was really tired, Jiang Wei Yang tossed and turned twice and then hugged her to rest.

Early the next morning, Liuli was applying medicine to Su Wanyu when Caimei ran in hurriedly.

Su Wanyu was already in a bad mood, and on top of the unbearable pain, she became extremely angry when she saw Caimei rushing around.

"You have no manners at all. You are a maidservant serving me, but you are so flustered. What a mess!"

"Please forgive me, Madam. I just wanted to tell you the news I heard, so I rushed back!"

"What news could be more important than the Marquis coming to see me?"

"I think this is a good opportunity to get rid of Aunt Su."

"Is there such a good thing? Tell me about it! If not, go and slap yourself in the face!"

"When I went to the kitchen early this morning, I heard from the kitchen that the old lady had asked Brother Nian to change the diet she prepared for him. So I specifically asked about it and was told that Brother Nian could eat many things now and could not just eat those few things. When I heard that, I thought it was a good opportunity."

"What do you mean? You want to poison Brother Nian?"

"That's exactly what I meant. This way, we can push the blame onto Aunt Su without anyone noticing. Besides, since you are bedridden, it must have nothing to do with you. Besides, there are many people in the kitchen, and if the matter is exposed, someone will take its place."

"It's a good idea, but once the Marquis finds out that I was the one who poisoned Brother Nian, I'm afraid it will be too late to undo what has been done!"

"Don't worry, Madam. If you agree, I will let this matter go to you. I will not find out anything about you."

"But you're mine, so even if you're found out, you'll blame me for it, right?"

"This~~I don't know what to do with this servant. I just think this is a good opportunity. Madam can also vent her anger."

"Cai Mei, you should do this. Find a reliable person in the kitchen, preferably one who has signed a death contract and is quick and nimble. Have the family make proper arrangements for him. If he is not found out, let him go and help him get rid of his slavery. If he is found out, pretend that it was an accident and that's why it happened. Let him admit it. As long as we are suspected, everything will be fine. Money is not a problem."

"What medicine should we give Madam?"

"I remember Su Qing also has the golden wound medicine you used. I heard from Imperial Physician Zhang that it contains musk, and he told me to use it sparingly. It's just right. I can separate the musk and mix it with Jiang Nian's food. If he is lucky enough to survive, Su Qing won't have an easy time either. Hahaha, let's do this. You can't go out to buy medicine, or we'll find out. Go ahead, Caimei. Once this is done, I'll pay you three times your dowry when you get married."

"Thank you, Madam. I will do it right away."

"Go to the second drawer on the dresser and take out three hundred taels of silver and give it to him first. Then give him another thousand taels after the matter is done. Be sure to be careful and don't let anyone find out."

"I just went to make medicine for Madam. Other servants don't know anything about it."

"Well, it turns out that my training of you was not in vain. Go! Be careful!"

"Yes, ma'am, don't worry!"

After lunch, Su Qing was studying the preparation of poison with Rumei when a servant came to report that Jiang Nian had been vomiting after lunch and asked her to go over and take a look.

At first, Su Qing didn't care too much about it, because she thought that maybe he could eat anything now, and maybe he had eaten too much, so she just gave him some stomach-strengthening and digestion-promoting tablets, since her space was full of medicine anyway.

But when she saw Jiang Nian, she found that Jiang Nian's face was already pale. She quickly took Jiang Nian's pulse and found that Jiang Nian did not eat too much, but was poisoned.

Su Qing was afraid that she was too anxious to see it accurately, so she asked Rumei and Ruxue to take a look and found that Jiang Nian was indeed poisoned, and it was musk, the same as what she felt.

Jiang Weiyang quickly called the imperial physician, and the results of his examination were the same as theirs.

Su Qing couldn't understand why Jiang Nian accidentally ate musk? And musk was something that should be avoided!
