The boss is coming, the scumbag is going to be in trouble

The maid ran very fast and soon reached the kitchen. She caught up with the people and asked, "Did you bring any cakes to the master and the mistress today?"

"No." Maomao Liu, who was in charge of the kitchen, answered quickly, and then her face changed.

She hadn't forgotten what Jiang Xingzhi had told her before. She asked with trembling lips, "What shape is that cake?"

"Lotus-shaped..."

"Plop..." Upon hearing this, Aunt Liu's eyes went dark and she fell to the ground. Oh my God! This is going to kill her.

"Hey, wake up, wake up. What happened? Explain it to me quickly, don't faint..." The maid knew something happened at first sight, and she hurried forward, pinched Matron Liu and shook her hard. Soon, the fainted Matron Liu opened her eyes.

"Don't faint yet, tell me what happened."

"I can't tell you this. Take me to the front yard to see the lady quickly." Nanny Liu thought of what Jiang Xingzhi had told her. She didn't dare to say it out loud, and hurriedly ordered the maid to help her up.

The maid had been in the mansion for so long, and when she heard Liu Mama speak like this, she knew that something serious was going on. She didn't ask any more questions, and quickly helped Liu Mama up and ran towards the front yard like the wind.

When she got outside, Madam Liu saw the plate of snacks on the table and almost fell to the ground. It was the maid who pinched her soft flesh that brought her back to her senses.

She shook off the maid and rushed into the room, picking up the plate of cakes, her whole body trembling.

How come it appears here?

This was made by her personally and delivered to the eldest lady's courtyard by herself. How could it appear on the table of the master and the mistress?

"Husband, Madam." Nanny Liu looked at the anxious Mu Wanning and her heart trembled. Then she stepped forward cautiously and said.

"Madam, I have something to say."

"Say it!"

"Madam, the matter is very serious. Can we talk about it in private?" Madam Liu looked at the servants beside her and answered in a low voice.

"Then come with me." Mu Wanning said and walked towards the side room, with Nanny Liu following closely behind.

When they reached the side room, Madam Liu quickly knelt down, her body trembling as she said, "Madam, this cake is poisoned."

"How dare you poison my Lord?" Mu Wanning became furious upon hearing this and stretched out her hand to slap Madam Liu in the face.

"Madam, please listen to me." Madam Liu kowtowed heavily, then raised her head and whispered, "Madam, this is the master's order. I did it myself, and I also personally delivered it to the eldest lady's courtyard and placed it in front of her. I don't know how this cake ended up here."

Mu Wanning waved her hand upon hearing this, signaling Madam Liu to leave. She had no other questions, because everything that had happened in the mansion was too bizarre, and this was not the only one.

There's no point blaming Aunt Liu and the others because they didn't do anything wrong.

But this time her husband had suffered a great crime, and she was terrified when she thought of the poison he had been poisoned. She rushed out of the side room and came to the noisy front hall.

She stepped forward and whispered to Jiang Xingzhi, "Husband, husband, please wake up and tell me where the antidote is."

Jiang Xingzhi forced himself to open his eyes, and before he could speak, a streak of black blood oozed from the corner of his mouth. He replied with trembling lips, "I don't have this medicine... I didn't buy the antidote."

Mu Wanning was struck by lightning when he heard this. How could this happen? What should he do if there is no antidote?

When he was at a loss, the housekeeper ran in, pulling the doctor.

The doctor was quite capable. Seeing Jiang Xingzhi's condition, he didn't ask any questions and hurried forward to give him acupuncture. Soon, Jiang Xingzhi, who was shaking constantly, calmed down.

"What food poisoned Lord Jiang?"

Hearing the old doctor's question, the maid next to him hurriedly raised the pastries on the plate.

The old doctor didn't waste any time, he just broke the cake and put it to his nose to smell it. He soon smelled what kind of medicine was inside.

"Crane's Crown Red?"

"What?" After hearing the old doctor's words, Mu Wanning was now unable to stand steadily. How could it be such a poison?

"Doctor, can he be saved?"

"Fortunately, Lord Jiang didn't consume much, so he can still be saved, but..."

"Just what?" Mu Wanning looked at the old doctor who seemed to be hesitant to speak and asked hurriedly.

"People can be lucid, but they will be weak all their lives and will never live long."

"thump--"

The blow was too severe, and Mu Wanning fell headfirst to the ground, unconscious.

Seeing her faint, the old doctor did not hesitate and quickly took out a silver needle and inserted it into her acupuncture point. Soon she opened her eyes.

"Please, doctor, please heal my husband."

"Madam, I will do my best." The old doctor did not take on too much responsibility. This was a poison called Crane's Beak Red. In order to cure it, one had to be a Golden Immortal alive.

After seeing off the old doctor, Mu Wanning sat at the head of Jiang Xingzhi's bed, tears streaming down her face. How could this happen?

Jiang Xingzhi looked at his wife crying non-stop, wondering what was going on in his mind. He was going to kill the girl, so how could this plate of cakes appear in front of him, and how could he eat it?

This is too weird. Who would have a plate of pastries on their dining table?

"How is she?" Jiang Xingzhi stared at the bed curtain expressionlessly, his tone flat.

"Her? Just now, the servant came to report that she was tasting wine in the courtyard." Thinking of what the servant said, Mu Wanning felt a chill in his heart.

How could she place the poisoned cake in front of her husband without making a sound? How did she do it?

"I'm not feeling well and can't go to court anymore. Let's go back home! Let's stay away from her." Jiang Xingzhi is really afraid of his daughter now. He is afraid that the weird daughter will take his life.

"If we leave now, what will happen to Zhou'er? Will he have to accompany us for the rest of his life?" Mu Wanning disagreed with Jiang Xingzhi's words. She felt that if her husband couldn't go to court, what about her son? He couldn't live his whole life without an official position!

"I can't care about those now. I just want us all to be alive. There is hope only when we are alive, isn't it?" Jiang Xingzhi understood what Mu Wanning was thinking, but he just wanted to save his life now. He was afraid that his Jiang family would be cut off.

"Let's go. We'll listen to you. Let's go now." Mu Wanning thought about it and realized that as long as he was alive, he had everything. Without him, everything was in vain.

They ordered the servants in the mansion to deliver their resignation letters to the palace, and then began to order people to pack up all the things in the house.

Take away some of the particularly important ones first, and deal with the less important ones later.

When it came to moving, Liang Zitian was reluctant. Beijing was a prosperous place, and she came here just to marry into a better family. Now that she was gone, wouldn't everything be gone?
