"Then how do you think we can cut the Gordian knot?" Liu Wan'er immediately became interested when she heard it. She quickly closed the door, pulled her daughter into the inner room and asked in a low voice.

"Mom, don't you have medicine?" Pei Yun asked in a low voice, "Tell me the truth, what exactly is this medicine?"

"You... shh..." Liu Wan'er covered her daughter's mouth and whispered, "Be gentle."

"Is it poison?" Pei Yun asked with eyes wide open.

Liu Wan'er smiled coldly and said, "Only your father would believe that this medicine would not harm you."

"I was wondering, mother, when did you become so kind? It turns out that this medicine will kill both adults and children. Why not wait until they die, and then poison the lady without anyone knowing, and let her die as well." Pei Yun said as he gestured.

"That won't do. If Madam dies, your eldest brother will come back and skin us alive." Liu Wan'er waved her hands repeatedly.

"Mom, what are you afraid of? Humph! If the big brother is investigated in the future, it is because Madam was worried that he would favor his concubine over his wife, so she poisoned Chanyi and her son while he was away. She was also afraid that he would find out after he came back and the mother and son would become enemies. The more she thought about it, the more scared she became, so she committed suicide out of fear of being punished. What does it have to do with us? Don't you think so?" Pei Yun bit her lip and sneered.

"You kid..." Liu Wan'er looked at her daughter in surprise and joy, and couldn't help but say, "Your plan is really perfect, but you can't tell your father about this. After all, Wang is his first wife, and he still has feelings for her. If he softens his heart and lets Wang see the slightest clue, then all the efforts will be wasted. The most important thing right now is to deal with that slave girl and the bastard first."

"Okay, mother, please stop crying. Father hates crying women the most. Madam has two enchanting women in her room now. Don't think I don't know what they want to do. They just want to seduce father so that he can live in the main courtyard every day." Pei Yun frowned and said, "Mother, you have to find a way to coax father. If he is really seduced by those two, it will be useless for you to cry to death."

"Okay, okay, you still have more clever ideas. Mother will listen to you." Liu Wan'er smiled and took a handkerchief to wipe away her tears.

In the main courtyard.

When Mrs. Wang saw Pei Yunshan coming in angrily, she knew that he had come with bad intentions. It must be that Liu Wan'er was making trouble again, and she was dissatisfied with him for not killing Chanyi and her son.

"My Lord, what are you doing in such a hurry? It's such a hot day." Mrs. Wang said in a gentle voice.

Pei Yunshan said nothing and sat down on the recliner next to her.

There was an ice jar in the main hall, and a slight chill came over him, slowly calming his restless heart.

"Peony, Jasmine, why don't you go and bring over the osmanthus and mung bean soup that has just been cooked in the kitchen." Seeing that his complexion looked a little better, Mrs. Wang quickly instructed two skinny horses to bring the mung bean soup.

A pretty and gentle young lady served him on both sides. After he drank a bowl of cold and delicious mung bean soup, the woman's slender hands kneaded his legs lightly or heavily. Pei Yunshan smelled the young lady's sweet body fragrance, and the last trace of annoyance disappeared completely.

"My Lord, in this hot summer, what urgent matter has brought you to me so urgently?" Mrs. Wang said slowly.

"Madam, it's nothing serious. I just came to see you and talk to you." Pei Yunshan lay on the recliner with his eyes slightly squinted, as if he had forgotten the purpose of coming here.

"That's good. I thought the Marquis had some urgent matter." Mrs. Wang said slowly.

"What urgent matter can I have?" Pei Yunshan said with a smile, "Shen Zhi has been gone for two or three days. Is Zhuxiang Garden all right?"

He sat up, waved his hand, and asked Shaoyao and Jasmine to leave.

"My lord, why are you in such a hurry? I know what to do. Don't you know that there are secret guards left by Shenzhi in Zhuxiang Garden?" Mrs. Wang smiled and pursed her lips.

"Why is this so difficult? You can just call the mother and son to the main courtyard." Pei Yunshan said, "Let her drink some tonic soup, and the problem will be solved, right?"

"Oh, that's right. Look at my brain. I'm getting old and not as good as before." Madam Wang sighed, "I'll need your advice in the future. But I'm still a little scared. Is this medicine reliable? Will it be discovered? My Lord, you know I'm always timid. Why don't I..."

"How about this?" Pei Yunshan sat up straight and looked at her.

"Why not let the Marquis release him?" Madam Wang frowned and whispered, "To be honest, I really can't do it. After all, An'er..."

She choked up as she spoke.

"Alas, you are too soft-hearted. You can't accomplish anything great." Pei Yunshan blamed, "It's better to do it today than to wait for a day. Let's do it today. Send someone to call them here to drink some soup and then send them back. As long as the person is not missing in the main house, no one can blame us."

"Well then." Madam Wang trembled as she took out the packet of medicine powder from the drawer. "My Lord, this is the medicine powder you gave me last time."

Pei Yunshan took it and looked at it. It was indeed the same packet of medicine powder from last time. The sealing wax was still there and the paper package had not been opened.

He nodded and said, "Go ahead."

Mrs. Wang asked Dongqing to call Chanyi and her son over. She sat on the sandalwood armchair, looking uneasy.

"Don't panic, just be like usual." Pei Yunshan thought to himself, no matter how powerful a woman is, she is still a concubine in the inner house, and is not as good as a man after all.

Bai Su carefully brought the chicken soup and placed it on the table and said softly, "Madam, this is the chicken soup from the kitchen."

"Good, it smells quite nice. Let it cool down here, and wait for the cicada shells to come over so it's good to drink." Mrs. Wang nodded.

"Madam, it's so hot today, why don't I bring the chicken soup over so they don't have to make an extra trip." Bai Su asked in surprise.

"Stop talking too much. Can't I see my grandson? You are becoming more and more outrageous. Get out now." Pei Yunshan frowned and shouted sternly.

Mrs. Wang nodded at Bai Su, and Bai Su retreated aggrievedly.

Pei Yunshan tore off the sealing wax and poured half of the powder into the chicken soup.

"Is it really colorless and tasteless? Don't let that girl taste something wrong." Mrs. Wang asked softly.

Pei Yunshan frowned impatiently: "If you don't believe me, come by yourself?"

"No, no, no, my Lord, I dare not ask you to come." Madam Wang waved her hands repeatedly, "I am just afraid that if the truth is revealed and Chan Yi refuses to drink and makes a scene, it will be bad if the maids outside hear it."

"Just don't panic and show off your true colors." Pei Yunshan watched the powder in the chicken soup slowly dissolve, then picked up the spoon and stirred it until there was no trace of the powder anymore. He then put the spoon down with satisfaction and said, "Everything depends on my instructions."

"Okay." Mrs. Wang nodded, feeling relieved.
