After rebirth, I married the emperor's uncle and overthrew my ex-husband's kingdom

Li Lianhua had just packed up and was about to lie down with his clothes on to rest for a while when he saw Xiao Qing walking in with a look of fear in her eyes.

Before she opened her mouth to ask questions, Xiao Qingjiang put the bamboo basket on the table, walked to the door, glanced outside with a sly look, and then closed the door.

"Xiaoqing, what's wrong?"

Li Lianhua sat up straight. Xiaoqing walked quickly to the couch and said nervously, "Aunt, I discovered a huge secret."

"What secret?"

Li Lianhua was a little surprised and couldn't help but lean towards her.

Xiaoqing sat down on the edge of the couch and said in a low voice, "I just went to Weirui Pavilion and accidentally heard Aunt Qiao asking Sister Chunliu to put drugs in the fourth young lady's food."

Hearing this, Li Lianhua covered his mouth in shock, "Did you really hear it clearly?"

"Absolutely true!"

Xiao Qing was still frightened. "When I went there, the gate was wide open, and there was no maid or servant sweeping the floor. I went to Aunt Qiao's bedroom and waited. Who knew..."

She had had good hearing since she was a child, and even though the conversation inside the door was in a low voice, she could hear it clearly.

Li Lianhua's heart was pounding, her eyes were rolling around, and suddenly a bold idea came to her mind.

She grabbed Xiaoqing's hand and asked anxiously, "No one found you, right?"

"No."

Xiaoqing shook her head.

Wei Ruixuan used to have seven or eight maids and servants. Later, Bai Yanlang dismissed all the servants for violating the rules, leaving only Chun Liu, a first-class maid, a second-class maid, and a woman who did rough work.

When Xiaoqing went there, the yard was empty.

"Don't tell anyone about this. Keep it to yourself. Got it?"

Li Lianhua's words startled Xiao Qing, "Aunt, aren't we going to tell the Fourth Young Miss about this?"

"You silly girl."

Li Lianhua stretched out a finger and tapped her forehead. "My husband is Aunt Qiao's son. We are in the same group as Aunt Qiao. If you go and expose Aunt Qiao, will my husband spare you and me?"

"Are you just going to watch Miss Four die?"

Xiaoqing is young after all, and human life is at stake, so she still feels a little bit reluctant.

"Everyone has their own destiny." Li Lianhua patted the back of her hand. "Let's not talk about the fact that the fourth young lady is fine now. If she really is in trouble, it's her own bad luck. But if you tell anyone about this, Aunt Qiao will not let us off easily."

Xiao Qing pondered for a moment and agreed, "Then I won't tell anyone!"

"Well, just pretend you haven't been there today."

Li Lianhua laughed, touching her belly with her hand, looking very happy, "When the young master is born, I will ask my husband for a favor and promote you to a first-class maid."

"Thank you, Auntie."

A first-class maid received half a tael of silver as monthly salary. Xiaoqing happily bowed to Li Lianhua.

In Fangfei Garden, Bai Youyou was lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling with unfocused eyes.

Since she entered the book, she has become one with the original owner, as if she is the Bai Youyou of this world, and the self in the other world is just a dream.

She always felt like she had forgotten something very important, but no matter how hard she tried, she just couldn't remember it.

"Come on, drink the medicine."

Lu came in holding a porcelain bowl, and Bai Youyou struggled to sit up.

Looking at the thick black Chinese medicine that couldn't even see the bottom of the bowl, Bai Youyou's face was full of resistance, "Mom, I have an external injury, I won't drink this medicine."

"This is what the doctor prescribed. Drinking it will help your wound heal faster."

Mrs. Lu knew that she was afraid of bitterness, so she took the plate of plums from the tray and placed it on the small table beside the bed. "Good medicine tastes bitter but is good for the disease. After you finish taking the medicine, eat a plum and it won't be bitter anymore."

"Where's Madam Yang? How is she?"

Bai Youyou reluctantly took the bowl of medicine that Lu brought over, and immediately an unpleasant smell of medicine hit her nose.

She slowly stirred the medicine with a spoon, but was unable to drink it.

"Yang Momo has a fever now. I just gave her some medicine and she has fallen asleep now."

Seeing that she hadn't taken the medicine for a long time, Mrs. Lu urged her, "Drink it while it's hot. If it gets cold, the effect will be poor."

Bai Youyou knew that she couldn't get away with it, so she could only close her eyes, pinch her nose, and gulp down a bowl of black medicine.

When her bowl was about to leave her lips, Mrs. Lu quickly stuffed a sweet and sour plum into her mouth.

The bitter taste in the mouth was instantly replaced by sweet and sour, and Bai Youyou's feeling of nausea was immediately suppressed.

"Isn't it painful anymore?"

Lu looked at her with a smile.

"Well, it's not bitter anymore."

Bai Youyou held a plum in her mouth and said to Lu: "Mother, the family has been in turmoil recently. Please have someone clean up the small kitchen. Before you divorce, we can use the small kitchen and not go to the big kitchen to get food."

"Okay, I'll ask Cuizhu to take people to clean up in a while."

Mrs. Lu didn't use her brain, but she was always obedient. She picked up the medicine bowl and said, "You were busy for half the night yesterday. You should get some more sleep."

After saying that, she took the bowl and went out.

Bai Yanlang returned home as soon as the court was over. Without even changing out of his court robes, he hurried towards Fangfei Garden.

When Mrs. Lu saw him, her eyes widened with anger. "I've already said that we must divorce, why are you still pestering me? Haven't you had enough of the broom last night?"

"Youyou and Luochuan are already so old, don't keep talking about divorce."

Bai Yanlang leaned over to flatter her, "Luochuan can get married after the New Year. Wait another year or two, and he'll get married and have children. You can happily wait to hold your grandchildren. It will be great for us to have children and grandchildren around us and enjoy the happiness of family life."

"Enjoying the happiness of having children and grandchildren around you?"

Lu was not moved by his plan at all. She smiled coldly, "Your mother pretended to be sick to trick me into taking care of her, and now you have found a Taoist priest to say that my son is an evil spirit and want to burn her with fire."

"You can even burn your own daughter, so why are you talking about having children and grandchildren around you?"

Lu walked briskly to the flower bed, picked up the broom from the corridor and shouted at Bai Yanlang: "Get out of here right now. Once the two elders have discussed the divorce, I will take the two children and move out of your den of wolves and tigers. You can go and live with that bitch Aunt Qiao and her children!"

"Ouch, ouch——"

Bai Yanlang ran away with his head in his hands, and the black official hat on his head was swept to the ground by the broom waved by Lu.

He ignored the broom that hit him and quickly bent down to pick it up.

"enough!"

Bai Yanlang felt pain all over her body. She angrily grabbed the bamboo broom from Lu's hand and threw it on the ground, gritting her teeth and saying, "You don't act like a rich lady anymore. You're learning some tricks from country women!"

If an old censor had not stared at him meaningfully when leaving court, making his hair stand on end, he would not have come here to seek misfortune.

"If you don't like me, don't come to my hospital. Did I invite you to come, or beg you to come?"

Lu put her hands on her hips and spat at him fiercely, "You conscienceless thing, I feel sick just looking at you!"
