"A life-saving grace! As for... how to do it specifically, we'll talk about that after the Marquis sends that Qiu Li away."

Xu Yuerao slightly turned her body to avoid Liu's outstretched hand.

In the few months since Xu Yuerao married into the Marquis's mansion, her focus had been on how to please the Marquis Fei Wuxuan, believing that he was truly capable.

But it turned out she was all show and no substance; thankfully, she hadn't revealed those things beforehand.

It took her a couple of days to come to her senses, and she suddenly remembered that in her previous life (the first life, the one in which Xu Xingrao married the Marquis), the biggest beneficiary of the Marquis's mansion seemed to be a maid who was lucky enough to give birth to a son.

Therefore, she needs to resolve this potential problem in advance.

Liu's hand froze in mid-air, and she felt even more dislike for Xu Yuerao.

Xu Yuerao, she had already bowed her head, yet she still dared to disrespect her.

But he still maintained that kind smile on his face.

"Moon, why do you want to send Qiuli away? She's just a maidservant and won't threaten your position."

Liang Qiuli was the maidservant Xu Yuerao arranged for Wu Xuan; this was targeting her!

"There's no reason why. From now on, there can only be one woman in the Marquis's harem."

Xu Yuerao felt as if she had been reborn and had mastered many things that were known to the gods, while Fei Wuxuan was indeed a good-for-nothing and naturally did not want to share a man with other women!

Upon hearing this, Liu's smile vanished, and she stared at Xu Yuerao, speaking in a deep voice.

"Xu Yuerao, you can't say things like that. Wu Xuan is the Marquis of Yongchang, after all. How can he only have you as his woman in the future? You...you're being too domineering!"

Xu Yuerao sensed Liu's displeasure, but she didn't care and even turned around and left.

"Since there's nothing else, I'll be going now. Remember to see them off, otherwise..."

Neither Madam Liu nor Lord Fei Wuxuan tried to stop her. After Xu Yuerao left, Madam Liu's face immediately darkened.

"Wu Xuan, look at her attitude! And do you even believe what Xu Yuerao said?"

After all, Xu Yuerao couldn't voice her doubts in front of Liu Shi. If it were true, it would be a loss if she were angered.

Marquis Fei Wuxuan didn't think too much about it and shook his head.

“She has already married into the Marquis’s household, so she couldn’t possibly lie to me, and she has no reason to do so.”

Fei Wuxuan's tone was somewhat confident; he believed that Xu Yuerao had no reason to lie to him about such a thing.

"Moreover, my son also sent people to investigate. It is said that before she married into the Marquis's mansion, she secretly helped Madam Du solve a lot of trouble at a banquet held by Madam Du, and Madam Du looked at her with new respect."

He probably learned divination or similar arts in the countryside; he must be quite skilled.

Fei Wuxuan acted as if he had thought things through thoroughly, without doubting Xu Yuerao at all, and arbitrarily decided to believe her.

“My son is very intelligent. Since you say so, then I believe you.”

Mrs. Liu always believed that her son, with his handsome appearance and extraordinary temperament, would surely achieve great things in the future.

As for why he's almost twenty and hasn't achieved any official rank yet, it must be because my son isn't studying hard enough. If he had studied diligently, he could definitely have gotten into the top three.

Marquis Fei Wuxuan was naturally pleased with his mother's praise, but he remained modest.

"Mom, please don't praise me, it will make me embarrassed."

He even tidied his clothes and straightened his back, looking like a refined scholar.

"Since you believe what Xu Yuerao said, let's send Qiuli away first."

After thinking it over, Madam Liu decided that her son's future was more important than anything else. If Xu Yuerao didn't have the ability, then even without Liang Qiuli, she could still find a few more maids to take care of her son.

Anyway, there are plenty of maids in this mansion, so losing Liang Qiuli won't have any impact.

Fei Wuxuan nodded when he heard his mother say this, but then he thought of Liang Qiuli crying her eyes out last night and felt a little sorry for her.

Spend some quality time with her during these days.

……

"Pfft!"

Liang Qiuli used the loyalty charm given by the system to place a maid in Rongning Hall and Wutong Courtyard, so she knew everything that happened in Rongning Hall and Wutong Courtyard.

Upon hearing the maidservant's vivid description of Marquis Fei Wuxuan's posture, Liang Qiuli couldn't help but burst out laughing, almost dropping the food box she was holding.

Liang Qiuli began to suspect that Fei Wuxuan's ability to gain the emperor's favor in his previous two lives might have been due to the advice of women behind the scenes.

Otherwise, how could someone who puts on airs but has no substance become the emperor's favorite?

Furthermore, Xu Yuerao isn't very smart. She's been married into the family for so long, and only now has she thought of dealing with me. If it weren't for the fact that she's a reincarnated person, she probably wouldn't have survived more than three episodes.

"Alright, you can go back now. Don't let anyone find out."

After sending the maid away, Liang Qiuli continued walking towards the front yard carrying the food box.

She only came out under the pretext of getting some snacks to hear news from Rongning Hall and Wutong Courtyard. After hearing the news, she naturally had to go back, otherwise how could the rest of the show be performed?

"Qiuli, you're finally back! Madam has sent someone over."

As soon as Liang Qiuli entered the door, she heard the voice of a maid coming from the courtyard. She looked in the direction of the sound and saw a maid dressed in pink walking quickly towards her.

"Is there anything wrong with Madam?"

Liang Qiuli first handed the food box to the maid beside her, then walked over calmly and asked respectfully.

"The lady said that she was just a new bride in the Marquis's mansion and didn't know any better. You, who have always served the Marquis as his maid, were originally supposed to be promoted to concubine."

So I brought you some tonics to help you recover. Once you're healthy, I'll make you my concubine.

"Hurry up and bring it over, it won't be as effective if it gets cold."

As the maid spoke, she waved her hand behind her.

Liang Qiuli thought to herself.

This isn't a tonic; it's clearly a poison that will kill you off your lineage!

But he remained outwardly calm, simply smiling as he accepted the bowl of medicine handed to him by the maid, and said gently.

"Madam is truly kind and considerate; Qiuli is deeply grateful. Please convey my thanks to Madam on my behalf."

After Liang Qiuli finished speaking, she drank the medicine bowl in her hand in one gulp. It wasn't the time for her to get pregnant yet, and besides, she had the system with her, so this kind of medicine actually had no effect on her at all.

Seeing Liang Qiuli's straightforwardness, the maidservant's eyes flashed with satisfaction, and her tone softened.

"Miss Qiuli is so sensible. Madam and the Marquis will surely be happy to know."

After speaking, the maid turned and left the front courtyard to return to the Wutong Courtyard to report the news.
