I just want to die of old age

"Yuzhu, I just got home today. If you need anything, you can tell your mother."

"I don't need anything for now. If I really need something, I will definitely tell my mother. After all, if I don't tell her, it may really be gone."

So I am good at chatting, and every word I say hits the mark.

The wife of the Marquis wanted to hold her chest and cry out in pain, thinking that I came to collect a debt and that the mother and daughter were enemies in their previous life.

The eldest brother Su Ziyi came to his mother's rescue and said, "Yuzhu, sometimes mother is busy with things and may not be thoughtful enough. Tell me and I will be happy to help you."

I looked at my gentle and refined elder brother Su Ziyi, a hint of warmth flashed in my eyes, but I still gave him face and skipped over the matter without mentioning it again.

I still feel very sorry for Su Ziyi. He is a man of both civil and military talents, and he is upright in his conduct. If he had not died unexpectedly, it would be great to have him in the mansion.

Su Yuzhu didn't have to live such a hard life. She was secretly plotted against by Su Mingyu and squeezed everywhere, which led to her death and leaving the world early.

He left with a stigma before leaving, and even his reputation after death was not spared. It is really disgusting.

"Thank you, brother."

Su Ziyi heaved a sigh of relief when he heard me say this. He still felt very distressed for this sister he had just brought back. After all, I was a rich girl who had been living outside and suffered a lot. In the future, as her elder brother, he must take good care of her.

Su Ziyi took an exquisite box from the maid and handed it to me with a gentle smile on his face: "Yuzu, this is what my brother bought for you. I pray that you will be safe and sound in the future."

I opened it with curiosity and found a string of exquisite sandalwood bracelets. A bright smile instantly broke out on my face.

I smelled the faint sandalwood scent coming from the bracelet, and the warmth in my heart became even stronger.

Su Mingyu felt even worse after seeing this. She said to Su Ziyi coquettishly, "Brother, what gift are you going to give me?"

Su Ziyi still smiled, but said with a somewhat distant tone: "I'll bring it to you next time."

After all, today is Yuzhu's first day back. He already knows what happened in the mansion. His mother really went too far this time.

However, as a mother, she would not let her own daughter take advantage of the back door. So Mingyu was trying to intimidate Yuzhu.

He had always thought Mingyu was a simple and kind girl, although a little spoiled, but now he thought that he still didn't know her well enough.

He arranged for people to investigate and found out that it was Mingyu who instigated the incident in order to make Yuzhu unable to hold her head up in the capital.

Mingyu's eyes darkened instantly. As expected, Su Yuzhu should not have come back. Her return had already affected her eldest brother's attitude towards her.

She had to find a way to deal with Su Yuzhu so that her status would not be affected.

She seemed to have thought of a good idea, a gleam of light flashed in her eyes, and the corners of her lips rose slightly.

After eating and drinking, I returned to the dormitory. I was casually flipping through a book on women's rings in my hand, with a mocking look on my face. It seemed that this mother was very dissatisfied with me. I had humiliated her one after another, and she probably regretted taking me back.

I stayed in the Marquis' Mansion for a few days, and the Marquis Su Muyun sent me the person I needed, an experienced nanny.

I saw that the nanny's every move was in accordance with etiquette, and she saluted to me with a very serious look on her face.

"This servant has met the Second Young Lady."

I observed carefully and found that the person the Marquis found was indeed reliable and experienced.

I waved my hand to let her get up, and asked with a relaxed smile: "Mammy, where did you work before?"

"Young lady, just call me Nanny Wen. I used to serve the concubines in the palace, but now that I am getting older, I have left the palace."

I didn’t expect it to be such a big baby. I’m really lucky.

"You come here to serve an unpopular lady like me, and you may not have any future."

Nanny Wen just looked up at me and said respectfully, "I left the palace just to retire. The Marquis' Mansion is a very good place. Besides, although it's the first time I've met the young lady, I feel that my choice is not wrong."

Nanny Wen had seen many beauties in the palace, but had never seen such an intelligent woman. She grew up in the mountains, but she had endless energy, polite manners, and the temperament of being well-read.

These two completely different temperaments are mixed together without conflict, which is very attractive.

Seeing this, I smiled with satisfaction: "I won't let you regret your choice. I will provide for you in your old age."

Aunt Wen and I looked at each other and smiled, reaching a consensus.

"Madam Wen, from now on, my courtyard will be in your hands. In particular, you need to see if my personal maid is loyal and reliable."

After hearing what I said, Nanny Wen nodded. She knew the secrets of the house like the back of her hand. The young lady had just returned home, and the people around her might not be reliable.

I saw that Nanny Wen quickly understood my idea and felt very satisfied. She was indeed an old hand. That was why I asked my father for the person.

On the one hand, I don’t know much about many things in ancient times and need someone to teach me.

On the other hand, I need someone I can absolutely trust to manage the entire courtyard for me. Otherwise, if any maid poisons me, I will be knocked down.

After all, there are people who hate me so much.

I will hand over all the maids to Nanny Wen, hoping to train reliable people in the shortest possible time.

Not long after, the maid brought today's lunch. I looked at the delicious food and still had an appetite, so I was about to pick it up and eat.

When Nanny Wen saw the food, she stopped me. To be on the safe side, she took out a silver needle, inserted it into the dishes, and checked them one by one.

But I found something wrong with one of the dishes. The silver needle showed black. I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

I didn't expect her to be so impatient. I asked Aunt Wen, "What kind of poison is this?"

Nanny Wen smiled at me soothingly: "We need to see a doctor for a checkup."

"Madam Wen, I'll leave this matter to you. I don't trust anyone else."

The person who poisoned me must be someone around me. Fortunately, I found Nanny Wen in advance, otherwise I really would not have survived the first episode.

Su Mingyu is not simple, but I don’t know if I can find evidence.

Besides, I’m not sure that she did it. Even if Su Mingyu wanted to harm me, she wouldn’t poison me so blatantly.

Let Nanny Wen find a doctor first to check what the poison is.

Soon the nanny came back in a hurry and said to me: "Miss, this is the beauty flower, a slow-acting poison brought from the Western Regions. Its main effect is to make people fall asleep gradually and never wake up again."
