The general's eldest daughter has a spatial ability

"Master, I've also discovered that after Miss Mo was injured and brought back, the General's wife was placed under house arrest! Should we send someone to deliver a message to the Third Young Master of the Duke of Huguo's mansion?"

"No need. Send Wushuang to follow her secretly. Don't make a move unless her life is in danger."

"Yes! I will send a message to Wushuang immediately."

The next morning, the two maids who were on night watch at the entrance of Luoxia Garden slowly woke up.

"Oh dear, I overslept! I still feel sleepy. Why didn't you wake me up? If the Second Madam finds out, I'll be punished again!" With that, Luo Hua hurriedly straightened her clothes.

Liu Shuidao: "I just woke up too. I must have been sleeping too soundly. Go quickly and fetch some water. I'll go to Madam's room to see if she's awake yet."

"Madam?" Liu Shui knocked on the door.

"come in."

Liu Shui pushed open the door and saw the First Madam leaning against the bed, looking weak and listless. Liu Shui breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the Madam was alright. That made sense; even martial arts skills were useless after being poisoned by the muscle-softening powder.

A moment later, Liushui brought in water, winked at Luohua, and after the two of them finished serving the lady's washing up, they turned around and left the room with the basin.

"Something terrible has happened! This morning, Caiyue from the Second Madam's courtyard came to deliver a message saying that Chunlan is missing. She told us to keep a close eye on the Madam."

Liu Shuidao asked, "Where would she go? Would she go to the Duke of Huguo's mansion for help?"

"Who knows? But I've heard that the Duke of Huguo's mansion is barely able to protect itself, let alone care about its married-out daughters!"

“That’s right. We’ve drugged every meal, so she can’t do anything wrong. The Second Madam said that to prevent Qiuju from escaping again, we’ll lock her up with the Madam today. Qiuju doesn’t know martial arts, so we don’t need to drug her. Just keep her alert. Go and serve the meal.” After saying this, she spoke to the servant in the courtyard. The servant nodded and returned shortly after, followed by Qiuju.

With a forced smile, Liu Shui said, "Oh, Aunt Qiuju is back. Madam must be very happy to know you're back."

Qiuju glanced at her indifferently, said nothing, and walked towards the madam's room. Reaching the door, she spoke:

"Madam, it's me, Qiuju!" The door opened from the inside. Xiao Ruqin pulled Qiuju inside and closed the door behind her.

"Qiuju! Are you alright? Did they do anything to you?"

"Madam, I'm fine. They just missed two meals and had people watch over me because they saw I didn't know martial arts. They didn't torture me. By the way, I just heard that Chunlan escaped last night."

"Oh, really? That's great!"

Qiuju watched as the lady, upon hearing that Chunlan had escaped, spoke with agitation, yet her eyes remained calm. She was slightly surprised, but the lady seemed completely unsurprised, as if it were expected.

Seeing Qiuju's thoughtful expression, Xiaoruqin patted her hand and pointed towards the window. Half a head was vaguely visible peeking out of the window, and Qiuju understood.

Xiao Ruqin sighed and said, "It's good that Chunlan escaped. I can't even protect myself right now. It's good that one of them can leave, so that she won't be implicated by me."

Seeing that he hadn't heard any useful information, Liu Shui immediately left the courtyard and headed towards Hua Jin Yuan.

After entering, I informed Caiyun of the news about Qiuju's return and then went back to Luoxia Garden.

Inside the room, a woman in her thirties was trying on two different hairpins in front of a bronze mirror. Seeing Caiyun enter, she spoke calmly:

"What is it?" The voice carried a hint of impatience.

"Reporting to Madam, the water has just flowed back and forth, and there seems to be no unusual activity on the First Madam's side. It seems she is unaware of Chunlan's escape. But Madam, what if Chunlan goes to the Duke of Huguo's mansion to seek help?"

"Ha~ reinforcements? The Duke of Protectorate's mansion is in dire straits right now, so it can't afford to help. Even if he comes, what can he do? He can take the opportunity to drive the mother and her two children out of the General's mansion!" The Second Madam's voice was cheerful and sarcastic.

Caiyun reached out and took the pearl fork from the Second Madam's hand, saying:

"Madam's plans are truly flawless! Madam, the day before yesterday, the wife of Vice Minister Li of the Ministry of War sent a visiting card, and she will be coming to pay her respects at your residence today! This peony and ruby ​​gold hairpin you are wearing is both luxurious and dignified, and it goes perfectly with your flowing cloud brocade dress!"

Liu Siwan looked at herself in the bronze mirror and laughed, "I think so too. Go and call the Second Miss, let's go see if that little bitch is dead yet!"

After a while, Mo Zhixia arrived gracefully, surrounded by a group of maids.

"mother!"

Liu Siwan turned around and saw a young girl wearing a pale yellow embroidered silk dress, with an exquisite gold hairpin with tassels on her hair, and a delicate red gold necklace around her neck. She had beautiful features and skin as smooth as cream, and was a rare beauty.

"Oh my, whose little fairy is this?!" Liu Siwan teased.

"Mother, you're teasing your daughter again," Mo Zhixia said coquettishly, shaking Liu Siwan's sleeve.

"Alright, I've been so busy these past few days that I forgot about Miss. Let's go check on your older sister."

"My daughter misses her elder sister a little too." Mother and daughter smiled at each other, then led the group of maids and servants towards the west courtyard. Mo Liujin had just come out of Fukang Garden to pay her respects. Seeing the direction this group was heading, his gaze darkened, and he said to the servant beside him:

"I forgot it's Brother Shen's birthday today, and I forgot to bring the gift I prepared. I have a fine piece of Huizhou ink at my bookstore; go find it, wrap it up, and bring it over." The servant obeyed and left.

Mo Liujin quickly ran westward along the path to the courtyard. Lian'er greeted him, but Mo Liujin entered the courtyard and went straight into the house.

"Sister, that vile mother and daughter are coming this way. Do you have any ideas on how to deal with them? Should I stop them?"

Upon hearing this, Mo Liuyun's lips curled into a smile.

"No need. I was just thinking about how to get better when this person arrived. Perfect timing, Ah Jin, you should leave here quickly! Your older sister has a way to handle this."

Mo Liujin looked at Mo Liuyun with no sign of panic, only confidence. She nodded to her sister and then left.

After Mo Liujin left, Mo Liuyun called Lian'er over and whispered something in her ear. Lian'er's eyes lit up!

After Lian'er left, Mo Liuyun took out her makeup tools from her spatial storage and quickly began applying makeup to her face. Her face visibly weakened, becoming pale and lifeless, as if a gust of wind could knock her over. Lian'er brought in the medicine and, seeing this, her eyes widened in amazement: "Miss is amazing! I must learn from her." Remembering her mistress's instructions, Lian'er opened the courtyard gate and heard a group of people approaching. She quickly stepped forward to meet them.

"This servant greets the Second Madam and the Second Miss. It's wonderful! The Eldest Miss has woken up and just sent this servant to invite the Second Miss and the Second Madam!"

"What did you say?"

"Sister is awake?"

Two different voices sounded at the same time.

"Yes, the eldest young lady woke up today. She didn't even take her medicine before sending me to find the second madam and the second young lady, saying she had something to say to them. Who would have thought that the second young lady and the eldest young lady were such close sisters and understood each other so well, she came over today."

Mo Zhixia: Telepathy my foot! I came to see if she's dead!

Seeing her daughter's displeasure, Liu Siwan gently squeezed her hand and said to Lian'er:

"Lead the way quickly, let's go see the young lady!"

The moment Lian'er turned around, the surprise on her face vanished instantly, replaced by inward contempt: "Pah! With such meager skills, Second Miss dares to challenge Eldest Miss? Dream on!" Lian'er entered the courtyard and called out:

"Young Miss, Young Miss, the Second Madam and the Second Miss have come to see you!"

Liu Siwan and Mo Zhixia entered the courtyard. Just as they reached the door, they heard a weak voice:

"Quickly, please invite Aunt and Second Sister in!"
