Shengjing Noble

Lu Wanjun didn't expect that her sister-in-law, who seemed to be so kind to her on the surface, would actually do this behind her back!

She was a little unconvinced: "Do you have any evidence? Otherwise, you are slandering me, and I will punish you anyway!"

"Your servant..." Liang Qiu panicked. These were just verbal orders, so how could she have any evidence?

However, she suddenly thought of something and said quickly, "I remember now. The eldest lady not only ordered me to do this, but also bribed many servants in Wanshou Courtyard. If you don't believe me, I can give you the list and you can check it directly!"

"Okay, give me the list!"

"Yes!"

After Su Lanyin let go of Liang Qiu, she immediately searched her body and took out a piece of paper and handed it to him with both hands.

Lu Wanjun opened it and took a look, her eyes burning with anger: "Two-thirds of the servants in this Wanshou Courtyard were arranged by Tao Li!"

Liang Qiu nodded: "Yes, not only in Wanshouyuan, there are many of her people in the Lu Mansion! I was also careful to protect myself, so I made this list, but I don't know about other people in the mansion."

Lu Wanjun looked at Su Lanyin, their eyes met, and it was obvious that she wanted to ask for her opinion.

Su Lanyin thought about it and said to her, "This matter needs to be carefully considered. We must not alert the enemy."

"Okay!" Lu Wanjun understood and ordered Liang Qiu, "From today on, you will still stay here, but you are not allowed to disrespect the old man again. If I find that you don't change your ways, I will sell you to the lowest-class brothel!"

"Yes! I dare not. I will never dare to do that again. I promise to obey you, Madam!"

"Don't tell anyone about this, understand?"

"Understood, this servant understands!"

Su Lanyin thought for a moment and added, "You are now making up for your crime and you will definitely get some benefits after the mission is accomplished."

Liang Qiu's eyes flashed with light, and she nodded repeatedly, thanking him profusely and saying, "I will definitely follow your lead, Madam, and will never betray you!"

"Go down."

After Lu Wanjun spoke, Liang Qiu quickly turned around and was about to leave, but Su Lanyin immediately stopped her.

"Wait!"

Liang Qiu became nervous, fearing that they would go back on their word: "I know I was wrong..."

"Don't be afraid, I just want to ask you, who gave you this medicine?"

Liang Qiu breathed a sigh of relief and replied, "It was given by the eldest lady. She said that this medicine is specially used to treat the old man's illness."

"Besides that, what else did I tell you?"

"Nothing."

"Okay, go down."

"Yes."

Liang Qiu left the room, and Lu Wanjun immediately asked, "What's wrong, Daya? Is there something wrong with the medicine?"

Su Lanyin smelled the medicine, but she didn't dare to expose her medical skills, so she could only be vague: "I don't know either, but I just think this thing is very strange."

"What's weird?"

"The old man has been taking medicine for several months, but instead of getting better, his condition has gotten worse. Isn't that strange enough?"

"Yes! My father has become more and more confused since he took this medicine. There must be something fishy going on."

"In that case, let's change the prescription."

"What prescription should I change?"

"Of course I have learned the prescription before, which will cure the disease immediately. By the way, Madam, please fetch me some paper and pen."

"Okay, okay, just wait a moment."

Lu Wanjun went to the outer cabinet to get paper, ink, brush and inkstone. Su Lanyin took the opportunity to secretly feel the old man's pulse.

After the diagnosis, he felt more confident.

The old man was poisoned, which is why he became more and more confused. Fortunately, Tao Li was afraid of being exposed, so she used a chronic poison and strictly controlled the dosage.

Given the poisoning situation, there is still a chance to completely eliminate it, but if it is delayed for a few more days, I am afraid it will be too late to save the situation.

Lu Wanjun brought paper and pen, and Su Lanyin was about to start, but stopped.

"what happened?"

Lu Wanjun looked at her in confusion.

Su Lanyin looked at the paper, a guilty look flashing in her eyes.

My mother recognizes my notes. If I write, won’t I be exposed?

No!

Now is not the time!

Su Lanyin looked up and said helplessly, "Oh, Madam, I... I don't know many words, and I forgot how to write it, but I can recite it. Can you write it for me?"

"I thought it was something else. No problem. I'll write it."

She quickly stood up to make way for Lu Wanjun, and then read out all the herbs that needed to be bought.

After writing it, Su Lanyin took the prescription and said, "I'm not familiar with Quanzhou, so let Cuizhu, the maid, go buy it. We won't trust someone else to buy it."

"You're right. Go get it to Cuizhu now. I'll stay and take care of the old man."

"It's so late, don't you want to rest?"

"Oh, my father has become like this, how can I sleep well? I originally thought that my eldest sister-in-law was a good person. Even though she was ignored by my brother, she still took care of the Lu family wholeheartedly and raised my nephew to be fat and white. She also cared about my father... I didn't expect..."

As she spoke, her eyes turned red.

"It's my fault that I didn't notice the clues earlier, causing my father to suffer..."

Su Lanyin comforted her: "Don't be sad, Madam. Everything will be fine. We should pay more attention to it in the future, isn't it?"

"Well, you're right."

"Then I'll retreat first."

"Go."

Su Lanyin left Wanshouyuan and immediately returned to her residence.

As expected, Cuizhu had been waiting inside.

"Girl, there is indeed something wrong with Liang Qiu."

"what is the problem?"

"After I followed her out, I found that she went to Tao Li's room. When she came out, she was holding a few packets of medicine in her hands. I guess they were the medicines that were boiled for the old man."

"It seems that Tao Li did buy this medicine. She wants to murder the old man."

"Why? Didn't the old man treat her well? I heard that she had a very bad life in her mother's family. Not only was her family poor, but her parents and brother always treated her as a punching bag and beat and scolded her at every turn."

Su Lanyin thought for a while and said, "I think there must be something behind this matter. Keep an eye on Liangqiu these few days and make sure she makes the medicine according to this prescription. I have to go out and find someone."

"Yes! I will definitely do what the young lady asks me to do!"

……

The next day.

Su Lanyin found a set of servant's clothes, took off all the fat on her body, put on a man's makeup, and quietly hid at the back door of Lu's mansion and waited.

After waiting for a while, I saw Tao Li coming out from the back door.

I heard that she would go to the theatre and play cards at this time every day, and would not come back until the afternoon.

Seeing her get on the carriage and leave, Su Lanyin could only quicken her pace and follow behind.

Fortunately, the carriage was not going very fast, so she was able to follow it closely.

After walking for an incense stick of time, the carriage stopped at the entrance of a quiet and narrow alley.

Tao Li got out of the car and looked around cautiously. Su Lanyin quickly hid behind the wall.

After making sure there was nothing unusual, Tao Li walked into the alley with confidence.

Su Lanyin silently memorized the driver's appearance, then jumped up onto a tree beside the alley. Looking down from above, she just saw Tao Li entering the last courtyard of the alley.
