Faced with Yingxiang's crazy crying, Rong Su looked at her coldly.

She couldn't help but sarcastically say, "Don't be so self-deprecating. Matthew betrayed you, so aren't you also betraying Xiao Huan?"

When Yingxiang heard her words, she was surprised for a moment, then she lowered her eyes, smiled bitterly, and obviously began to blame herself.

"Yes, I also betrayed Xiao Huan."

Rong Su found a chair, sat on it, and stared at her: "I have a plan. Maybe it can help you get revenge. However, you must apologize to Xiao Huan afterwards."

After hearing Rong Su's words, Ying Xiang suddenly raised her head and looked at Rong Su, her eyes filled with hatred and desire: "Really? Can you really help me get revenge?"

She changed her posture, placed her fingers on the table, tapped them lightly, and replied in a calm voice: "You must agree to my request first."

"I promise, I promise. I'm willing to do anything as long as it means revenge! I will make Matthew pay a heavy price!" Yingxiang clenched her fists tightly, her eyes bloodshot with hatred.

Rong Su looked deeply at Yingxiang, whose face was full of hatred, and it was as if she saw her own shadow in her.

Yingxiang was abandoned as a useless thing after being used by Matthew, but she was abandoned by her so-called sister.

They seem the same, yet they are also different, but they both carry hatred.

As long as they are carrying hatred, she will help them fulfill their wishes.

For some reason, she had this idea from this moment on.

There are only three days left before Xiao Huan’s wedding.

Rong Su was planning how to let Shen Peiqing kidnap the bride.

Just then, she received the news that Xiao Huan's face had healed.

Upon hearing the news, Rong Su was surprised. How could Xiao Huan's complexion suddenly improve? There must be something fishy going on.

Thinking about this problem, Rong Su spent a lot of money to bribe the servants of Xiao's house, and then he successfully disguised himself as a waiter delivering food and sneaked into Xiao's house again.

According to her memory of the terrain of the Xiao residence, she avoided many servants and planned to find Xiao Huan's room, but she didn't expect to run into Xiao Huan who was embroidering in the backyard.

Sitting on the stone bench, Xiao Huan was smiling, with joy in her eyes, as she was embroidering the piece of embroidery in her hands stitch by stitch.

In the sunlight, Rong Su could see clearly that Xiao Huan was no longer wearing a mask. Instead, she had a delicate and beautiful face with dignified and elegant features. She was a first-class beauty.

But why did Xiao Huan suddenly get better?

Confused, Rong Su was about to walk over, but she saw Ma Xiuzhi actually walking towards Xiao Huan. She hurriedly stepped back and hid behind a rockery.

Then Matthew's voice was heard.

"Huan'er, you're pregnant. Don't work so hard. I feel so bad for you."

Xiao Huan chuckled shyly, "How can that be an exaggeration? I'm embroidering my wedding dress. My grandmother once told me that only when you embroider your own wedding dress can it be perfect and bring you a long life together."

Matthew's voice seemed to have become much gentler: "We will definitely have a happy ending. Huan'er. It's sunny here, I can take you back to your room to embroider."

"Okay." Xiao Huan looked shy and happy.

It was not until they left the stone table that Rong Su slowly walked out from behind the rockery, his eyes fixed on the direction they disappeared.

Rong Su thought about it and decided to find out why Xiao Huan healed her face so quickly.

It was clear that Matthew had planned to use blood lotus to treat Xiao Huan, but blood lotus itself is a poisonous herb.

Thinking about this, she had already arrived at the kitchen. This time, she was just pretending to be a waiter, so she didn't arouse much suspicion.

She saw a servant she had bribed and hurried over with a smile on her face, trying to please him.

"Um, are the vegetables okay? They're the first batch we bought from the farmers today, and we rushed them over."

The servant seemed to have recognized her and started to cooperate with her, saying softly, "Yes, then come here. I have something to tell you. After all, you still need to deliver the dishes for the wedding banquet in a few days."

Rong Su looked around and saw that everyone was doing their own things without looking at them. She bowed and nodded repeatedly, then followed the servant to the corner.

Once they reached the corner, their identities changed instantly. The servant became humble and fawning: "I wonder what you need from me, sir?"

Rong Su took out a piece of gray cloth and handed it to him: "Help me collect the tea soup that Miss Xiao drank. If you do it well, I will give you the silver you want."

When the servant heard about the silver, he took the gray cloth with a smile on his face and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Okay, okay, I will definitely do what you want. Just wait for good news from me."

Seeing that the people over there had almost counted the amount of food, she nodded to the servant, then followed the servant, hunched over and walked out of the corner with her head lowered.

Then Rong Su followed the shop owner and left Xiao's house.

On the other side, the study of Xiao's house.

Matthew sat in the main seat, leisurely pouring tea and sipping it gently.

Sitting below was a middle-aged man in a dark blue brocade robe. He had a slightly thin face, frowning eyebrows, and eyes that revealed a shrewd and cunning look.

Seeing that Xiao Qi didn't speak and was still thinking, Ma Xiuzhi chuckled and continued, "Uncle Xiao, I hope you'll think this over carefully. After all, I know you're in a lot of gambling debts. You're not eligible to inherit the Xiao family's fortune, so there's no way you can embezzle the Xiao family's money to pay off your debts. But I'm different. I'm going to marry Xiao Huan soon, and when that happens, I'll help you pay off your debts."

These words were indeed very tempting to Xiao Qi. He was just a child adopted by Old Madam Xiao, so he was only Xiao Huan's cousin in name, and his relationship with the Xiao family was actually very distant.

Therefore, he had no qualifications at all to inherit any of the Xiao family's property.

The Xiao family's assets belong to Xiao Huan alone. Xiao Qi is jealous and envious, but so what? He has no right to fight for it, nor does he have the right to seize it.

But now, this gentle and handsome man in front of me seems to be well-mannered, but in fact he is a heartless person.

He actually wanted to murder Xiao Huan in order to seize the Xiao family's property.

But what attracted him most was that he could help him pay off his debts, and maybe even extort a large sum of money from him.

When Xiao Qi thought of this, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes. He looked at Matthew and straightened his posture.

"You have to know what you are doing now. If I do this kind of thing, wouldn't I become a traitor to the Xiao family?"

Matthew's hand holding the teacup paused slightly, raised his eyebrows, and curled the corners of his mouth, understanding what Xiao Qi meant.

He was planning to blackmail him. This cowardly man was also extremely greedy for money, so he had plenty of ways to make him agree.

"Uncle Xiao, this matter depends on you. You have to know that although you may seem to be a member of the Xiao family, it is actually just a name. How many people in the Xiao family can help you?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Xiao Qi's face darkened slightly. He had taken Matthew's words to heart.

That's right, he was like a dogtail grass that was incompatible with the Xiao family and just lived in the Xiao family.

No one paid attention to him, and sometimes even the servants looked down on him.

He couldn't do anything, he had no real power in the Xiao family.

Thinking of this, Xiao Qi felt a lot of resentment in his heart, and even dissatisfaction with the Xiao family.

Seeing Xiao Qi's expression turn angry, Ma Xiuzhi couldn't help but curl his lips and said calmly, "Uncle Xiao, if this is done, not only will I help you pay off your debts, I will also transfer the wheat field in the east of the city to your name. This way, you will have a way to earn income, and you can gamble however you want in the future."

No one can resist such a great temptation. After hearing these promises, Xiao Qi had already discarded all the so-called calculations he had just made.

"really?"

Matthew took out a contract from the secret compartment of the desk, placed it on the table, and then looked at Xiao Qi.

"This is the contract between you and me. As long as you sign your name, everything I just said will be fulfilled for you."

Xiao Qi immediately stood up from his chair, walked to the desk, reached out and picked up the contract, and read it carefully and seriously.

After reading the contents clearly, the excitement on his face could no longer be suppressed. He looked at Matthew excitedly and confirmed again: "If you sign it, will you do what you promised just now?"

Ma Xiuzhi smiled, picked up a pen, dipped it in ink, handed it to Xiao Qi, and nodded, "Of course. A gentleman's word is as good as gold."

"Okay!" Xiao Qi no longer had any concerns. He took the pen and quickly signed his name on the contract.

Seeing Xiao Qi signed the contract, a sly smile flashed across Matthew's eyes, but in his heart he looked down upon Xiao Qi.

Xiao Huan, look, even your cousin wants you dead. It seems you are really pathetic.

Ma Xiuzhi placed one hand on the armrest of the chair, glanced sideways at Xiao Qi, whose face was filled with smiles, and said softly, "Uncle, I'll leave the rest to you. Tell Xiao Huan to take the medicine every day."

After Xiao Qi put away the contract, he finally realized what was happening. He asked, puzzled, "Why did I have to be the one to persuade Xiao Huan to drink the medicine? You could have come in person. After all, Xiao Huan trusts you more."

Why? Matthew sneered inwardly. After all, he should still be able to say that he had a little remorse.

Of course, it was not towards Xiao Huan, but towards the child in Xiao Huan's belly. After all, it was his own flesh and blood. But now, for the sake of the Xiao family's business, he had to get rid of Xiao Huan, so naturally, the child could not survive.

However, he didn't want to do it himself, so he handed it over to Xiao Qi. At least when he felt guilty in the future, he could use Xiao Qi as a reason to blame.

His idea was indeed crazy, but wasn't he just that kind of person?

After accepting the task given by the noble man, he has disregarded everything, all for the purpose of obtaining the Xiao family's property.

"Don't worry about that. I have other things to do. I don't have the time to watch Xiao Huan drink the medicine."

After hearing this, Xiao Qi did not ask any further questions. As long as he could get what he wanted in the end, it was fine.

It was late afternoon.

Rong Su, who had been waiting near the back door of Xiao's house, stared at the back door for a long time.

Until I saw the servant coming out from the back door and looking around.

When Rong Su saw this, she picked up a small stone and threw it towards him.

The sound immediately attracted the attention of the servant. After seeing it, the servant carefully looked around to make sure that no one was passing by, and then he walked over quickly.

"Sir, this is what you want." The servant handed over the gray cloth wrapped around the item.

Rong Su took it and opened it slightly to take a look. It was indeed medicine residue. Then he took out a few silver ingots and gave them to the servant.

After the servant took the silver, his face was full of joy and he thanked the master repeatedly.

After watching the servant go back, Rong Su also hurried back to the inn while no one noticed her.

As soon as she got back to the inn, she took the package back to confirm what herbs were inside.

But when she opened it and looked carefully, she found that there were several medicinal herbs that she seemed to have never seen before. She was about to look through the book, but felt it was a waste of time.

Rong Su carried the bag to Gu Yun's room and knocked on the door.

After knocking twice, Gu Yun opened the door. After seeing her, he was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face. He asked softly, "Miss Rong? Is there something wrong?"

Rong Su didn't have time to chat with Gu Yun. She reached out and grabbed his arm, pulling him into his room. Gu Yun was surprised, and then he felt the warmth from his arm, and his ears couldn't help but feel slightly hot.

She put the package on the table and opened it to show Gu Yun.

"Gu Yun, could you please take a look at what these herbs are? I've only just started identifying them. If they were raw, I might be able to tell them apart, but these are just medicinal residues, so it's hard for me to identify them."

When Gu Yun heard that his help was needed, his expression became serious and he reached out to check the medicine residue.

Seeing him pick up the medicine residue from time to time and put it under his nose to smell it, she soon saw that his expression became more and more serious, and even began to feel a little surprised.

Seeing his expression, Rong Su quickly asked, "Gu Yun, have you figured out what kind of herbs they are?"

Gu Yun looked at her solemnly, his voice also a little heavy: "These herbs may be good medicines when separated, but when mixed together, they are deadly poisons."

When Rong Su heard this, she understood that Ma Xiuzhi really wanted to kill Xiao Huan. After thinking for a moment, she asked, "Do these medicines have the effect of healing my appearance?"

Gu Yun lowered his head to examine the medicinal residue again, and then said to her, "These medicines don't have the effect of healing your appearance, but they can suppress the effects of some low-level poisons."

Hearing this, Rong Su looked at Gu Yun in shock, somewhat surprised: "What? These medicines can suppress low-level poison?"

Gu Yun nodded and replied seriously, "That's right. There are many levels of poison. Generally, high-level poison can control a person's mind or harm their body while making them immortal."

She was shocked that Matthew actually had a recipe that could suppress the poison. She had clearly seen him prepare the medicine before, and it was not the method used by an experienced doctor at all.

What else is hidden during this period?

"Miss Rong, where did you get these medicinal residues?" Gu Yun seemed to have noticed something and couldn't help asking.

Rong Su heard this and felt no need to hide anything, so she told the truth, "This is the residue from the medicinal soup Xiao Huan is currently drinking."

Gu Yun was stunned for a moment, then seemed to understand what she was trying to do, and came to a conclusion: "It seems that Miss Xiao has been poisoned. Ma Xiuzhi is using this herb to suppress the poison in her body, but this will also accelerate the spread of the poison in her body. In the end, she will die in less than half a month."

After Rong Su heard Gu Yun's words, her heart became heavy. She could no longer wait until Xiao Huan got married, otherwise the ending of Xiao Huan's family being broken up would be completely unchangeable.
