Reborn as the spoiled male wife of the mortal enemy

Chapter 53 The mantis stalks the cicada

"Oh, isn't this Miss Luhe? Are you going to the old lady?" Mother Liu came towards them.

Lu He had gone there to complain, feeling guilty. Seeing Mama Liu holding a few packets of medicine, she changed the subject and asked, "Are you getting medicine? Is anyone sick?"

Mother Liu sighed and said with a worried look on her face, "My wife hasn't been sleeping well lately. I went to the county doctor and got some tranquilizers and blood-tonifying medicine."

"Is it useful?" Lu He seemed to have thought of something.

"It worked! I slept so soundly after taking this tranquilizer. Two nights ago, it rained heavily and the thunder was so loud, but Madam didn't wake up."

Mother Liu took out a few small medicine packets and continued, "This is medicine from the West. Just a small packet like this doesn't taste good when added to tea or soup. After Madam drank it, she felt sleepy in a short while and then fell into a sound sleep."

Lu He's face lit up with joy when she heard this, and she said quickly, "Mother Liu, I haven't been able to sleep at night these past few days, and I'm worried about what to do. Could you please give me two bags? I'll give you whatever you want."

After hearing this, Mother Liu hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, Madam still has some. You can try it. If it works, I'll ask the doctor to prescribe more."

Lu He's face lit up with joy as she hurriedly said, "Thank you, Aunt Liu! How much is it?"

Mother Liu waved her hand and said with a smile, "It's not about money. If you need more later, just give it to me."

Lu He took the medicine and thanked him again.

She was both excited and panicked. She was excited because she felt that her long-cherished wish was about to come true, and she was panicked because she was afraid that the plan would fail and be exposed.

If you want to accomplish anything, you must find an opportunity to be alone with the Second Young Master.

She clenched the medicine in her hand tightly, as if it were a life-saving straw.

"That little bitch took the medicine away?" Xu Huiling sneered.

Madam Liu nodded and said, "Yes, she is very happy. Looking at her expression, I really feel that I will become the Second Young Madam soon."

"What a pipe dream! Don't you consider your own status? If she takes action, it will save us from getting our hands dirty. Tell Han Li to keep a close eye on Jingyuan. Then we can kill two birds with one stone!"

Mother Liu quickly agreed.

Although Mrs. Bai had told Bai Huiling that day that she intended to make the relationship between Yiren and Bai Xun a fait accompli, Mrs. Bai's point was that she didn't want to be the villain who forced Bai Xun to submit. Naturally, Xu Huiling didn't want to be the villain either.

Regardless of whether the matter can be accomplished, after all, Bai Xun was plotted against, and he must be feeling resentful.

If he could use Lu He's help and do something by accident, he wouldn't be able to vent his resentment on the Wu family.

Lu He has been looking for an opportunity to be alone with the second young master, but it is difficult to do so since the male wife stays with the second young master every day.

It wasn't until the end of the month that she finally found an opportunity.

The end of each month used to be the day for Bai Xun to check the accounts. Because of the Chinese New Year and the wedding, the accounts for these past few months were checked by the head butler.

In the afternoon, the butler moved a box of account books to Jingyuan. The second young master will definitely be busy in the study until midnight tonight.

Lu He poured the medicine given to her by Liu's mother into the Tremella and lotus seed soup.

She took a deep breath and went to the study with the bowl.

"Second Young Master, have a bowl of Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup!" Lu He said with a smile.

Bai Xun nodded and said, "Put it there!"

Lu He was so nervous that her hands were shaking slightly and she almost spilled the soup in the bowl.

Bai Xun glanced at her suspiciously, and Lu He hurriedly said, "The Second Young Madam is still awake. I'll go and tell her to go to bed early."

Bai Xun nodded.

Nanchun yawned and turned the pages of the book much more slowly. He looked up and glanced out the window. The light in the study was still on.

"Second Young Madam, have a bowl of Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup. Second Young Master is still looking at the account books. He asked you to rest early and don't wait for him." Lu He put the Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup on the table and said.

"Will he take long?" Nanchun asked.

Lu He nodded and said, "Well, in the past, the Second Young Master would spend most of the night reconciling the accounts at the end of the month, and sometimes he would even go to bed in the study when it was too late. You don't have to wait for him, drink the soup while it's hot, and then go to bed!"

"okay, I get it."

Nanchun put down the book, but Luhe didn't leave and looked at her puzzledly.

"Oh, you drank the soup. I put the bowl in the kitchen. The weather is getting hot, and I'm afraid leaving the dirty bowl in the house overnight will attract insects." Lu He tried to make her expression look more natural.

Nanchun touched his stomach and said, "I ate too much last night and I'm feeling bloated. I'm not hungry right now. Why don't you eat it?"

Lu He's expression changed. She said, "This is something the Second Young Master specifically asked me to cook for you. It's nourishing and can clear away internal heat. It's a thoughtful gesture from the Second Young Master..."

Seeing her embarrassment, Nanchun said, "How about this, have someone bring me some hot water so I can take a bath and drink it."

Luhe nodded quickly and went out to make arrangements.

Nanchun took a hot bath and felt refreshed all over.

Lu He directed two people to carry the bath tub out. When she looked back, Nan Chun had already finished eating.

"Second Young Madam, please take a rest!"

After saying that, she left with the empty bowl, smiling.

After going out, she hid in the dark and waited for a while. When she saw that the lights in the bedroom were off, she felt relieved.

When she thought about the next plan, she felt nervous and excited.

She stood at the door of the study and said, "Second Young Master, I'm here to add more tea for you."

"come in."

Lu He entered the room and saw that the white fungus and lotus seed soup in the bowl had been finished. Her smile widened. She quickly added some hot tea to Bai Xun's cup, collected the empty bowl, and was about to leave.

Bai Xun asked, "Where's Ah Fu?"

Lu He's heart tightened, but she pretended to be calm and said, "Ah Fu had a drink with someone today. I saw that he was unsteady on his feet, so I asked him to go back to the house to rest, and I came to take care of him."

"Okay, you can go and rest too."

"Yes."

She deliberately transferred Ah Fu away.

She bought a jar of good wine in advance and gave it to the coachman, Old Wang.

He deliberately brought up this matter in front of Ah Fu.

She knew that Ah Fu would definitely go to Old Wang to ask for some wine.

At first, because he had something to do in the evening, Ah Fu didn't dare to drink too much. After drinking a bowl of wine to satisfy his craving for alcohol, he was ready to leave.

Luhe brought over another jar and a few dishes of snacks.

"Here, this jar of wine is for you. Don't blame me for being partial. Just drink to your heart's content today! I'll be there tonight!" Lu He said with a smile.

Ah Fu stared at her in a daze.

Lu He had always been cold and indifferent to him, and had never been as warm and welcoming as she was today.

Seeing this, Old Wang patted Ah Fu's shoulder vigorously and laughed, "What are you still standing there for? Take it quickly! Don't let Miss Lu He down."

Ah Fu came to his senses and took it with a playful smile.

After some drinks, Ah Fu was now fast asleep in his room, dreaming sweet dreams.
