In the cold winter, as the New Year is getting closer, the Censorate is decorated with lights and couplets and lanterns, giving it a brand new look.

Only the main courtyard of the big house was left. The male owner had left Beijing and had not returned, and the female owner was bedridden. The entire courtyard was in a state of desolation, as if no one was taking care of it.

With a creaking sound.

The door was pushed open.

Peirong walked in with a bowl of medicine.

These days, Xie Anning always felt weak and sleepy, and his health seemed to be getting worse.

I took medicine after medicine, but it still had no effect.

Several loyal servants around him were very worried.

In response, Xie An Ning comforted them, saying that it was just because the weather was too cold and she was lazy and stayed in bed.

Anyway, she doesn't need to care about the opinions of her mother-in-law and sisters-in-law now. She can go back to her boudoir and spend the winter at ease.

The imperial physician's routine of checking Wang Shaofu's pulse every two days was stopped by Old Lady Wang on the third day after Wang Shaofu left Beijing.

She is now taking the prescription prescribed by the court physician.

Seeing her master's increasingly pale complexion, Peirong's eyes lit up with worry: "Why isn't he getting better? You were clearly much better before, otherwise... I'll go outside and quietly ask a doctor to come in and take a look."

"No need,"

Xie Anning said, "I have my own plans."

After saying this, she wanted to drink the medicine in one gulp, but was stopped by Peirong.

No matter how dumb Peirong was, she had guessed her master's plan to some extent. Her eyes were red, "Madam, this medicine?"

"Don't tell anyone..."

Xie An Ning stretched out a finger, pressed it against her lips, and poured the medicine into her stomach.

His breath was weak and he looked haggard. He was indeed in a state of near death.

Peirong couldn't stop it, and tears fell from her eyes in anxiety, her lips trembling, "I will go and get a doctor!"

"No!" Xie An Ning grabbed her hand and said sternly, "I've been taking this medicine for three to five days straight. It's already incurable. If you run out like this, you'll only endanger your life."

The Wang family wanted to create the illusion that she died of illness and would never massacre her confidants unless it was absolutely necessary, so as to avoid arousing Wang Shaofu's suspicion.

But if the Wang family knew about it and their evil plan was discovered, I'm afraid all the slaves in this courtyard would have to "die for their master".

When Wang Shaofu comes back, even if he feels something is wrong, he will have no evidence.

We have come this far and we must not fail.

"I don't want to keep you because I'm afraid you'll mess things up," Xie An Ning coughed softly a few times, "Pei Rong, please don't let me die with regrets."

Peirong cried hoarsely, "You know there's something wrong with this medicine, why..."

Having said this, Peirong's face turned pale.

Finally, I remembered the purpose of the message that my master asked me to spread a few days ago.

He wanted to enrage the Wang family, and while the eldest son was away from Beijing, he would poison the eldest daughter-in-law who was already bedridden.

Her master doesn't want to live anymore.

After his daughter passed away, he decided to die.

But I don't want to die easily.

She wanted to die at the hands of the Wang family and make the Wang and Yao families pay the price with her own life.

"Since you don't want to leave, then please help me get through this."

Xie An Ning put down the medicine bowl and said, "Remember, neither you nor I knew of the Wang family's evil plan. Until my death, I was eagerly waiting for him to return and resign, hoping to leave the capital with him and live in seclusion. I never slacked off on my meals and medicine, but my body continued to weaken day by day."

"My last words are, I hope he will marry a good wife and have another legitimate son..."

"Once you've done this, leave the Wang family and live your own life. Don't say anything else, and don't try to lead him into investigating the cause of my death. With his intelligence, saying more will only lead to more mistakes."

In Xie Anning's opinion, there is not much love left between her and Wang Shaofu.

Taking advantage of his daughter's death, when he still felt guilty, she was poisoned to death by the Wang family. The combination of these two factors made it possible for Wang Shaofu to develop a grudge against the Wang family.

But the prerequisite is that Wang Shaofu must not be allowed to know that her death was a conspiracy.

A plot to take revenge on the Wang and Yao families.

Xie Anning didn't know whether his goal could be achieved.

But this was the best plan she could make in a short period of time with her terminally ill body.

Relying on her own strength, she will never be able to defeat these two families until her death.

Even this plan of getting involved himself could probably be easily seen through by Wang Shaofu.

"If he sees through my plan and knows my calculations against the Wang family, then that's fine."

Xie An Ning smiled bitterly: "Tell him that I don't want to be buried in his Wang family's ancestral tomb. I beg him to agree to our marriage as husband and wife."

She hated the Wang family's strict rules and the marriage that Wang Shaofu had arranged for her daughter.

Because of these rules and this marriage, her daughter fell into the water and her engagement was broken off. She was afraid that it would affect the reputation of her cousins, and she felt ashamed and uneasy day and night, and her illness was difficult to recover.

Finally, the cold poison entered her body and she died.

The Wang family's rules forced her daughter to death.

Wang Shaofu killed her daughter.

How could she still live a good life with him, how could she still lie in the tomb with Wang Shaofu as a wife of the Wang family.
