Seeing Bai Zhi's expression, Qiaoqiao suddenly understood why she had to go out of town to buy medicine: "Miss, are you worried that it might be poisonous?"

Bai Zhi recalled the part about toxicology and pharmacology in the original owner's memory, nodded and said: "The hairpin is not black, and there is no strong poison. It is probably a chronic poison... Doctor Zhao said that if I drink the medicine for a month, according to their original plan, I will die of the poison in a month."

Qiaoqiao clenched her fists and said, "This Concubine Song, I haven't even settled the score with her for pushing the young lady into the water, and now she wants to poison the young lady again. She's really a vine that can kill me."

Bai Zhi shook her head: "Mrs. Song is just a handy knife, and the one who wields the knife is the eldest lady."

Aunt Song pushed her into the water and was actually seen by Qiaoqiao, without even trying to disguise herself, which shows that she has someone to rely on.

Throughout the day, only Aunt Song and the First Madam came to see her. Judging from the First Madam's performance, it is very likely that the person she is relying on is the First Madam.

Qiaoqiao was surprised and asked, "Madam?"

Bai Zhi didn't know how to explain the ability to read people's expressions that she had developed in her previous life, so she could only say, "It's just my intuition. Qiaoqiao, the Marquis' Mansion is too dangerous, we must be on guard at every step."

Qiaoqiao nodded heavily, and then smiled and said, "Fortunately, the young lady only needs to take the medicine for ten days, so we can leave here in ten days. Otherwise, even if we don't leave, we won't have enough money to buy medicine."

Bai Zhi recalled that the original owner had no dowry when she married, only a maid named Qiaoqiao and twenty taels of silver she saved. Fortunately, Madam Gu only wanted her birth date and not her dowry, otherwise she would have ridiculed her.

Bai Zhiwei sighed and said, "Original owner, oh, original owner, your life was really full of blood and tears."

Baizhi poured the medicine soup in the bowl into the corner of the room, leaving a mark on the sand. Baizhi simply raised her foot and wiped it out without a trace.

After a while, there was another knock on the door: "Madam San, the old lady wants you to go to the main hall."

Bai Zhi responded, "I understand. I'll change my clothes and go."

Qiaoqiao hesitated and said, "Miss, do you want to... do you want to tell the old lady about the drowning incident?"

Bai Zhi was rummaging through the clothes in the wooden box: "Qiaoqiao, this is the old lady of the Marquis' Mansion. She is very smart. She must know that a flower was lost in the Marquis' Mansion. How could she not know that I fell into the water?"

Qiaoqiao scratched her head.

Bai Zhi said as she changed her clothes, "It's already evening, and she didn't send anyone to check on me. She probably asked me to come over now because it has nothing to do with the drowning incident, and I won't get any benefit from complaining to her. If she wants to use her knife to stab someone, it's possible... But we're almost leaving, so let's not make things complicated."

Qiaoqiao nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to you, Miss."

After changing her clothes, Bai Zhi waved her hand and said, "Qiaoqiao, wait for me to come back!"

Relying on the original owner's memory, Bai Zhi walked all the way to the main hall.

The original owner would take this route every morning for the past three days to pay her respects to Old Madam Gu. Every day, Old Madam Gu would chat with the first and second wives in the main hall early in the morning about family matters. However, since the original owner was not good at socializing, she would always just give a few perfunctory words and then flee back to her room.

Bai Zhi was grateful for the original owner's social phobia, she muttered to herself, no matter what Madam Gu asked later, she would just behave like a coward and perform steadily.

As soon as she entered the door, Bai Zhi was slightly surprised.

There are too many people!

Madam Gu sat in the main seat, with two rows of strangers sitting beside her, and the first and second wives in between. Everyone was talking happily and didn't notice the third wife who had just entered the room.

According to the rules, Gu Lao San should have taken her to recognize the faces of these people in the mansion one by one, but since Gu Lao San was derelict in his duty, she didn't recognize most of them.

Bai Zhi imitated the original owner's words and deeds in her memory and walked forward: "Mother, your daughter-in-law greets you."

Madam Gu's expression showed no sign of sadness or joy. She waved her hand and said, "Please take a seat. Today is Zhen'er's birthday. Let's have a family reunion dinner together."

Bai Zhi bowed her head and said, "Yes."

Zhen'er is the eldest lady Ge, Ge Zhen.

Bai Zhi thought to herself, if she killed me today, wouldn't she be embarrassed when she celebrates her birthday and I celebrate my death anniversary in the future?

Pervert huh?

Bai Zhi sat in the only empty seat. There was a lot of noise in front of Madam Gu. Someone next to her called out softly, "Madam."

lady?

Gu Laosan!

Bai Zhi turned her head suddenly and saw the man in front of her. He had a scholarly appearance, was wearing a dark satin robe, and was waving a jade folding fan in his hand. He was staring at her with a smile in his eyes: "Madam, you are truly a beauty."

He didn't show up at the wedding and threw the original owner into a broken house for three days. Now that they meet, he only says "you are so pretty"?

As if affected by the original owner's emotions, Bai Zhi felt a nameless anger rising from her heart. She secretly gritted her teeth, resisted the urge to tear the scum apart with her bare hands, gritted her teeth and bowed slightly, saying, "Hello, husband."

Gu Yan smiled and imitated her in bowing: "Madam, there is no need to be so polite."

As soon as the voice fell, the second wife Qiao Wanwan laughed loudly and said, "Look, Yan'er was bewitched as soon as he saw his wife, and his eyes were fixed on her."

Everyone in the room began to tease Gu Yan along with Qiao Wanwan's words. Bai Zhi unexpectedly became the center of half the conversation, and quickly lowered her head like a turtle.

The original owner's impression of Qiao Wanwan was that she loved to watch the fun.

Gu Yan waved his folding fan and responded calmly: "The new buds on the branches are almost falling on the ground. How can I not cherish this moment and look at it a few more times?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the voices in the room gradually stopped.

Bai Zhi understood the hidden meaning in his words and was so surprised that her mind was almost in a mess.

How did he know?

Why did he bring this up in this situation?

Doesn’t he dislike the original owner? Why does he care about this? Does he want to use me as a knife?

Bai Zhi pinched the corner of her clothes tightly.

Gu Laosan! If you cause trouble and hinder my escape, I will never forgive you!

Xuanping Hou Gu Laoda looked at this and that, not understanding what Gu Yan was talking about: "Third brother, what do you mean?"

Gu Yan smiled and said, "Brother, you don't know yet, Zhi'er was framed and fell into the water today, and she almost died."

As soon as this statement came out, the whole place was in an uproar.

Bai Zhi was shocked again.

How did he know that he was framed? How did he know?

Could it be Qiaoqiao...

No, Bai Zhi shook her head. According to the original owner's memory, although Qiaoqiao was sometimes noisy and careless, she was a very smart person and would never do anything rash without telling her.

Since Aunt Song pushed her into the water and was seen by Qiaoqiao, it might also be seen by others.

But the maids and servants passing by would not have had time to hide, so who would go to Gu Lao San to cause trouble?

Unless there is a spy from Gu Laosan in this house!

Either he was staring at her or Aunt Song!

Everyone in the field looked at each other.
