The Self-cultivation of a Salted Fish Concubine

After returning from Lanxiang Pavilion, Hongnao was a little absent-minded.

Concubine Han was afraid that she would reveal her clues and arouse suspicion, so she simply sent away the maids around her and only let Hongnao serve inside.

She said angrily: "Can't you be a little more promising?"

"Did such a small thing scare you to death?"

Hong Nao smiled bitterly, "Master, my mind is full of Concubine Ning's purple face... I don't want to be nervous, but I can't control myself!"

"Her death has nothing to do with you? Why are you so nervous?"

Hongnao immediately shut his mouth.

After a while, Lu Yu came into the yard and reported as usual.

"Master, Concubine Fang seems to have become suspicious and has already traced the matter back to Concubine Wan. I have already asked someone to give up the connection to Xiuyue Pavilion."

Concubine Han nodded, her face tinged with coldness, "You did a great job!"

"We have to give up what we have to give up, otherwise if someone traces us back, the consequences will be disastrous!"

After two months of peace in the mansion, Concubine Han still couldn't get pregnant, so she couldn't help but take action.

She has connections with Ning Shiqie and has plenty of ways to arrange for people to instigate the eldest son.

As long as the servants spoke ill of Fang Yuaner every day, the eldest son, a four-year-old child, would lose control of his temper and go to Fang Yuaner to vent his anger.

With her secret guidance, the eldest son ran to Xiachiyuan to find fault with Fang Yuaner.

Although the eldest son was only four years old, his hands and feet were heavy, and sometimes he could kick the young eunuch next to him so hard that he couldn't get up.

No matter how vigilant Fang Yuaner is, she will let down her guard a little when facing children.

If the eldest son kicked her in the abdomen at this time, I am afraid that both mother and child would be in danger.

This move kills two birds with one stone, as it can both depose the eldest son and deal with the pregnant Concubine Fang.

Even if the plan fails, the eldest master will be half-disabled, and Fang Yuaner will not get any good results.

In the end, the case will be traced back to Concubine Ning.

Concubine Han has nothing to do with it.

Thinking of this, Han Shiqi gritted her teeth and said, "It was originally a perfect plan, but who knew Fang Yuaner would have such a bad temper that she actually brought the eldest master to the gate of Lanxiang Courtyard."

"This has become a big deal, and it's ruined all my plans!"

"I don't know what's going on in Fang Yuan'er's mind that she could do such an outrageous thing!"

Fang Yuan'er "beat to death" Ning Shiqi, which angered the eldest master and made him go crazy on the spot, but it made King Jing feel more sympathy for her.

Once Concubine Ning died, Concubine Han's plan to put the blame on her would no longer work.

King Jing and the princess are not fools, they will definitely investigate further.

Concubine Han thought that what she did was very secretive, but she also knew that there is no wall that is completely airtight.

Han Shiqi couldn't help laughing as she thought of something, "Fortunately, there was this smart-aleck girl named Wan Shiqi standing in front of me. It saved me a lot of trouble."

Wan Linlang did not join forces with Han Shiqie.

She just happened to see the people around the eldest master instigating, so she acted smartly and did some tricks.

Wan Linlang was skilled in medicine and had long since discovered that Concubine Ning had been poisoned.

She quietly reached out to Concubine Ning, increasing the poison in her body and aggravating her 'illness'.

This matter was discovered by Han Shiqie, who secretly took advantage of it and led all the clues to Wan Linlang, using her as a shield.

Concubine Han's methods were secretive, and Luyu gave up the people of Lanxiangyuan in time.

Even King Jing could only find out about Wan Linlang in the end.

Now that Concubine Ning is dead, everyone will only suspect Wan Linlang.

Seeing that Han Shiqi was in a good mood, Luyu whispered another piece of news, "Master, this servant has heard that... the one in Qingzhu Courtyard might be pregnant."

Concubine Han's eyes suddenly became extremely sharp, "What did you say?!"

"It was Concubine Lu from Qingfeng Pavilion who passed on the news." Lu Yu chuckled and said, "Master, you also know that she has been bothering Concubine Li frequently lately."

"This morning she went to Qingzhu Pavilion again and happened to see Concubine Li vomiting. Concubine Li completely broke off relations with her and kicked Concubine Lu out."

"Many people saw this."

"Are you sure you're pregnant?" Concubine Han's eyes were sharp.

Lu Yu was silent for a moment. "Master, why don't you think about this? Concubine Lu has been running to Qingzhu Courtyard every now and then. Why didn't Concubine Li make a scene before? Why did she get so angry today and kick everyone out?"

"The more this happens, the more likely it is a ghost!"

Concubine Han gritted her teeth and said, "Send someone to find out! If she is really pregnant, I am afraid I can't wait any longer!"

Lu Yu nodded: "I have already arranged for someone to investigate."

——Xiuyue Pavilion

Wan Linlang returned to Xiuyue Pavilion. Thinking back on what happened today, she became scared.

My heart is beating fast.

The maid Suiyin brought in a cup of tea and said, "Master, please have some tea first."

Wan Linlang nodded nonchalantly, "Sit down too and talk to me."

She had just experienced a thrilling accident and was looking for someone to talk to.

Another maidservant in Xiuyue Pavilion, Suijin, is greedy, gossipy, and selfish, so Wan Linlang doesn't trust her.

So he found a way to make Suijin sick and bedridden, and promoted Suiyin, who is now his confidant.

Suiyin knew a thing or two about what Wan Linlang had done.

She took a sip of tea before speaking, "I'm afraid someone has tricked me!"
