The pampered heiress holds the script and leads her cannon fodder family to a counterattack.

Upon hearing this, Fang Chunlan's vision went black, and she almost fainted.

This is immoral and corrupt! It's so immoral!

How could the Yang family have taken in such a scoundrel!

She rolled her eyes at her good-for-nothing son again.

This thing can confuse you so much!

However, Fang Chunlan also wondered to herself, what method did this little bitch use to cause Sang Xuan to miscarry?

The sleeping incense that my aunt used to use had been switched by the concubine's servants. The new sleeping incense contained musk. Although the dosage was small, long-term inhalation could cause miscarriage.

[The musk was only used for one day; once its use is stopped, it's estimated that it won't cause significant harm to the body.]

Those who can hear the inner voice suddenly understand.

So it was sleeping powder. Sang Xuan did indeed have a habit of using sleeping powder; who would have thought it would become the concubine's means to harm her!

[Qian'er, the maid who accompanied my aunt during her dowry, had long been bribed by the concubine. She worked for the concubine, hoping that once the concubine became the principal wife, she would be made my uncle's concubine.]

Fang Chunlan was shocked. She was originally Sang Xuan's dowry maid, but she never expected that she would betray her mistress.

Such a person must not be allowed to live!

Qin Wanying secretly told her mother everything.

Yang Xiurong clearly heard what was going on, but she still pretended to be very surprised.

The mother and daughter discussed it and decided to resolve the matter today.

Yang Xiurong: "Recently, Wanying came back, and I've been so excited that I haven't been able to sleep well for days. I tried using sleeping incense, but it didn't work. I heard that your sister-in-law has some sleeping incense that works quite well. Could you take a look at it?"

Sang Xuan smiled after hearing this, and did not find anything wrong with what she said.

She instructed the maid beside her, "Go to my room and bring me the sleeping incense."

This maid was not Qian'er, who was part of the dowry.

When the concubine Ruyi heard this, she broke out in a cold sweat.

Bringing me sleeping incense? This is outrageous! What if someone discovers there's musk in it? Wouldn't everything be exposed?

She had painstakingly cultivated her power, finally managing to bribe Sang Xuan's maid. Now, all she had to do was cause Sang Xuan to miscarry and then kill her, giving her a chance to become the principal wife. This was exactly what she deserved.

How can we let all our efforts go to waste?

She quickly said, "Second sister, my sleeping incense is the best. Madam is pregnant now, and her sleeping incense is specially made, so it may not be enough. Please bring me mine."

Yang Xiurong quickly said, "No need. I just want to take a look, I won't take it. I've heard my sister-in-law mention it a few times before, and I'm just curious, so I wanted to take a look."

As Yang Xiurong said, he didn't know what to say and just watched helplessly as the maid went to fetch incense.

Ruyi was almost sweating profusely.

She quickly gave a wink to the maid beside her, who immediately understood and hurried away.

Qin Wanying sensed something was wrong. Ruyi gave the maid a meaningful look, which Qin Wanying noticed.

As Ruyi's maid was leaving, she happened to see Qian'er.

He quickly called out to her, "Qian'er, the master wants to see Madam Sang's sleeping incense. Please help me find it."

Qian'er was terrified.

Why would the master look at Madam Sang's sleeping incense when he's perfectly fine? Could it be that he's discovered something amiss?

Seeing a maid heading towards the lady's room, he quickly called out to her.

"I put away the sleeping incense for the lady earlier; I'm afraid you don't know where I put it. I'll go find it."

The maid nodded and went back.

Qian'er breathed a sigh of relief.

She was originally Sang Xuan's dowry maid. But she was unwilling to remain a maid and also wanted to rise in status and become a phoenix.

Although Madam Sang treated her well, she had no intention of taking her as a concubine or maidservant, and even allowed the Third Master to find a concubine outside.

They say you shouldn't let good things go to outsiders. If Third Master wants to take a concubine, shouldn't he think of me first?

I've been with you for so many years, how come you don't care about me at all, but instead give opportunities to other women?

Qian'er therefore harbored a grudge against Sang Xuan.

Fortunately, Ruyi was easy to talk to and would often reward her with small gifts.

He even told her that the madam was confused, and that if the madam asked to take her as a concubine, the Third Master would certainly not refuse. What business would it be of my doing?

Qian'er felt that Ruyi was better than her own wife.

Later, Ruyi said that with Sangxuan around, there would never be a chance for the two of them to get ahead, so they conspired to make her miscarry. After that, Sangxuan took over and tried to make Qian'er a concubine.

Qian'er thought that if she didn't take a chance, she would never have a chance to get ahead, so she agreed.

The musk that Ruyi gave to Qian'er was mixed into the sleeping incense.

But now, they actually want to take out this sleeping incense to look at it!

Luckily, I took on this job, otherwise I would have been really doomed!

Once inside, I found a dark brown incense burner, opened its lid, and poured out the incense.

Suddenly, a voice came from the doorway: "You daring wench, what shameful things are you doing in there!"

Upon hearing the voice, Qian'er was terrified, for she recognized it as the old lady's voice.

With a crash, the incense burner fell to the ground, scattering the remaining white incense ash all over the floor.

Qian'er turned around and saw a lot of people standing at the door, including the old lady, her second aunt Yang Xiurong, and her second aunt's daughter. She broke out in a cold sweat.

She quickly knelt down: "Reporting to the old lady, I noticed that there wasn't much incense left in the incense burner, so I thought I'd add some sleeping incense before taking it to you, mistress."

Fang Chunlan hurried over and looked at the sleeping incense in the slag bin. "There's clearly a lot of this sleeping incense, how can you say it's almost gone?"

Qian'er's mind almost stopped working. She sensed that the old lady knew something from her question. But she really didn't know what to do.

Yang Huai, Yang Junyan, Sang Xuan, and Ruyi all rushed over upon hearing the commotion.

Yang Huai looked serious and calm, while Yang Junyan and Sang Xuan looked surprised, not knowing what had happened. Ruyi's face turned pale.

Yang Xiurong walked to the slag bin, picked up a pinch of sleeping incense, brought it close to her nose and smelled it, and said sternly, "It's musk! This sleeping incense contains musk! You wretched servant, how dare you plot against your master!"

Upon hearing this, Sang Xuan almost lost her balance and staggered back two steps, but was fortunately supported by the maid beside her.

Qian'er was her dowry maid, and she had served her for so many years. I never expected her to do such a thing to her.

Yang Junyan was also furious. He took two steps forward and kicked Qian'er hard in the chest, cursing, "You wretched servant, how dare you plot against your master! Who gave you the guts!"

He knew he was in poor health, and the child he had finally conceived was almost killed by this wretched maid!

Qian'er lay on her side on the ground in pain, feeling her blood and qi surging upwards.

She couldn't believe it would turn out this way.

She had been fantasizing about getting into Third Master's bed, but he caught her doing it and even kicked her.

She struggled to her knees, kowtowing repeatedly: "Third Master, spare me! Third Master, spare me! It was all as Auntie ordered!"
