Your Highness, please stop chasing me.

Hearing Susu, who was cleaning outside the door, call out "Madam," Mu Xue knew that the old woman couldn't sit still after the young man was beaten.

Perhaps it was because Mu Jiaojiao said she wasn't stupid anymore.

Ha, just when you're about to doze off, here's a pillow for you.

Upon arriving here, Mu Xue immediately discovered that the original owner's body contained a large amount of accumulated toxins. Even if she did not take over this body, the original owner would not live for more than ten days.

For Mu Xue, a master of poisons, this poison was not difficult to cure, it just took some time.

It seems the person responsible for the poisoning, whom we had no clue about before, has been identified.

This poison is called Flying Flower. It is colorless, but people who come into contact with it will have a faint rose scent on their bodies, which smells very nice.

The insidious thing about this poison is that it causes people's intelligence to decline more and more.

When the person's intelligence regresses to that of an infant, that's when the poisoning is over.

Given Aunt An's background, she simply couldn't obtain this kind of poison.

There must be someone behind her. Aunt An is easy to deal with, but we must find out who is behind her.

The original owner's intelligence remained at the level of a five-year-old. It seems that the person who made this poison was not yet skilled enough, otherwise the original owner probably would not have been able to wait for Mu Xue's arrival.

Upon hearing Su Su's voice, Granny Kang got up and retreated to the bedside.

After Aunt An entered, she walked over with a polite smile and sat down naturally on the edge of Mu Xue's bed.

Mu Xue remained silent and did not even glance at Aunt An.

Aunt An was the first to lose her composure, "I heard from your sister that Xue'er, you're all better now. That's wonderful!"

"Judging from your tone, Auntie, you don't seem very happy. Auntie, you'd better stop smiling," Mu Xue retorted without any politeness.

When Aunt An heard Mu Xue call her "Auntie," not "Mother," she choked on her words. She thought to herself, "She's still not fully recovered; her words are so sarcastic. She's definitely not stupid anymore."

Aunt An quickly calmed down and said with a smile, "Xue'er, how could you think of me like that? Of course I'm happy that you're better. Before your father went to war, he entrusted this family to me. Now that you're better, your father will be happy to know. If my sister is watching over me from heaven, she will be comforted." After saying that, she picked up a handkerchief and wiped away the tears that had already welled up in her eyes.

Seeing Aunt An's tears come so suddenly, Mu Xue thought to herself, "Oscar owes you a golden statuette."

"Are you sure it's being handed over to you to manage, and not just what you think it is?" Mu Xue bluntly exposed her lie.

“Auntie, my maternal grandmother only gave birth to my mother, and she didn’t have any cousins ​​or sisters.” Mu Xue’s words made Auntie An’s expression constantly shift between gloom and sunshine.

As if that wasn't enough, Mu Xue pressed on: "My mother only gave birth to one daughter, me, and I don't have any sisters." After saying that, she still felt it wasn't enough and chuckled softly.

Mu Xue knew that she couldn't rush things when dealing with Aunt An. After all, Aunt An had controlled the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion for many years, and she didn't know how many tricks she had up her sleeve.

In just those few words, Aunt An's blood pressure was like a rollercoaster, going up and down, and she felt like she was about to vomit blood from anger. She took a few deep breaths to calm herself down.

When Mu Xue was still a fool, she was very respectful to her and obeyed her every word. But today, Mu Xue is no longer a fool and is instead going against her at every turn. Could it be that she heard something? Aunt An turned her head and gave Kang Mama a threatening look.

“Granny Kang, now that Xue’er is awake, she still needs to rest. You servants should take good care of her and let her rest more. Don’t gossip and disturb your mistress’s peace.” Aunt An admonished Granny Kang. After saying this, she turned to Mu Xue and said, “Xue’er, you’ve just woken up and your body still needs recuperation. I’ll have Jiao Jiao come to keep you company more often. You should rest peacefully and not listen to these servants’ gossip. I’ll send you some ginseng and bird’s nest to nourish your body. Please eat as much as you like, and if you need anything, just tell me. Don’t be shy.”

Aunt An adopted the demeanor of a matriarch, confident that she had Mu Xue under her control and had given Granny Kang a warning. Satisfied, she prepared to leave.

Before she could even say she was leaving, Mu Xue spoke up, "Auntie, since you insist on sending me ginseng and bird's nest, then I won't be polite. However, I want the ginseng to be a hundred years old, and the bird's nest to be blood bird's nest. Auntie, don't get it wrong."

Aunt An, who had been sitting steadily, jumped up immediately after hearing Mu Xue's words. She was really about to lose her temper, twisting her handkerchief tightly in her hand as if the handkerchief were Mu Xue herself, but she couldn't lash out now, since Granny Kang and the servants in the courtyard were all there.

The image I've cultivated over the years must be maintained.

Kang Mama was dumbfounded by Mu Xue's actions.

Susu, who was eavesdropping at the door, quickly covered her mouth and ran away.

Is it possible to see a show like this without paying money?

"Xue'er, this is your favorite hibiscus cake. You love sweets, so I specially asked the kitchen to make it." Aunt An glanced at Tao'er, and the tray that Tao'er had been carrying was handed to Mu Xue.

Mu Xue glanced at Tao'er and raised an eyebrow.

The "tool person" Kang Momo has arrived.

She took the tray without saying a word.

Seeing that Granny Kang had already taken it, Tao'er retreated behind Aunt An without saying a word.

Seeing that the pastries had been served, Aunt An immediately took her leave: "Xue'er, get some rest."

Mu Xue said, "Take care, Aunt An." Then she turned to Kang Mama and said, "Mama, please see Aunt An off for me."

Aunt An was furious when Mu Xue kept calling her "Auntie".

Kang Mama also cooperated with Mu Xue: "Yes, Miss, Aunt An, please take care."

She ignored Granny Kang, turned around and quickly left Yuyue Garden, as if a monster was chasing her.

As soon as Kang Mama entered the room, she went straight to Mu Xue: "Miss, you just scared this old servant to death." She didn't forget to pat her chest.

"That Aunt An is really good at flattering the old lady, Miss, you have to be careful of her. When the madam was still alive, she always stood out and stirred up trouble. She was very capable. Miss, you used to be fooled by her into calling her 'Mother' and listening to her in everything..." Seeing that Mu Xue's face was not good, Kang Mama stopped talking. The past is the past, and the present is the present.

Her daughter is now better.

Mu Xue looked at Kang Mama with amusement: "Don't worry, Mama, I know what I'm doing. Please call Su Su in."

When Su Su came in, she saw Mu Xue with a serious expression.

"Miss," Su Su called out timidly.

"I don't need any useless people around me," Mu Xue's cold voice rang out.

Su Su was so frightened that she immediately knelt down in front of Mu Xue's bed: "Miss, I was wrong."

"What's wrong?" Mu Xue stared at the top of Su Su's head.

Granny Kang didn't offer any advice.

"Miss..." Su Su didn't know what she had done wrong.

Mu Xue shook her head and sighed. Now, she only had two people she could trust. Kang Momo came from the palace and could see things clearly, but Su Su was weak and easy to bully because she was following the original owner and was being made to make things difficult for her. This couldn't go on.

"Susu, considering how many years you've been by my side, I'm telling you for the last time today where you went wrong. If you do it again, you won't have to stay with me anymore." Mu Xue made Susu look up at her.

Su Su looked at Mu Xue with teary eyes, her gaze extremely earnest.

"First, you shouldn't call Aunt An 'Madam'."

"Secondly, from now on I will definitely not be able to get along with Aunt An, so you don't need to be afraid that she will hear you laughing at her."

"Third, if you betray me, I will not spare your life." As she said this last sentence, Mu Xue released her murderous aura, which was aimed directly at Su Su.

Sensing the change in the aura surrounding Mu Xue, Granny Kang was horrified. She had only ever felt this kind of aura from the general, but the general's was far less terrifying than Mu Xue's.

Even the seasoned Granny Kang couldn't withstand Mu Xue's imposing aura, let alone Su Su, who was being targeted.

A cold sweat instantly soaked her clothes, and she dared not move until Mu Xue calmed down. Only then did she manage to sit down on the ground, too exhausted to get up.

Granny Kang also came to her senses and felt sorry for her, but ultimately said nothing. Su Su's temperament needs to be changed, otherwise it will be difficult for her to serve Mu Xue.

Su Su's eyes were lifeless, and she didn't dare to lift her head. In the end, it was Kang Mama who had the cleaning maid carry her out.
