At fourteen, Song Wanning married into the Marquis's estate and became the main wife. However, her husband was a hypocrite, a self-proclaimed upright scholar who was determined to elevate his c...
Lu Zijun has not been able to react to what Doctor Liu said until now.
After a while, she stood up and looked at Doctor Liu in disbelief. "Doctor, I bought this from someone else. How could there be such herbs in this rouge? Please look carefully, don't make any mistakes."
Doctor Liu looked at Lu Zijun and said slowly, "I just smelled it carefully. This rouge does contain Five Elements Grass. This herb is almost non-existent in the capital. If you want to find such a herb, I'm afraid you need some connections. Who would have known that someone in this world would use this Five Elements Grass to make rouge? It's a harmful herb. I really don't know where the conscience of these people has gone."
Doctor Liu said this and shook his head in disbelief.
Lu Zijun stood aside, now finally confirming that the rouge was poisonous. Who would have thought that she would bring such a poisonous substance to Song Wanning? If Song Wanning lost her child after applying the rouge, then she would be the most vicious sinner in the world.
Thinking of this, Lu Zijun almost burst into tears. She looked at Song Wanning and slowly said, "Wanning, this wasn't my intention. I didn't expect something like this to go wrong. This rouge... I originally thought it would look good on you, but who knew things would turn out like this... I didn't mean to harm you. This rouge... I originally gave it to you because I thought it would look good on you."
As Lu Zijun spoke, she almost burst into tears.
After hearing what Lu Zijun said, Song Wanning hurried forward and whispered in a soothing voice, "This isn't your fault. The only thing to blame is that there are countless people in the capital who want to harm me. Seeing that I'm on guard, they set their sights on you. They thought that since we're good friends, you must have been thinking of me in everything, which is why their plans succeeded. Now it seems that the person behind this is really hard to guard against."
Song Wanning thought so, and immediately looked at Lu Zijun and sighed, "If you hadn't insisted on asking Doctor Liu to see me today, I'm afraid I would have fallen into their trap later."
"Who on earth is so vicious that she wants to use me to harm you? Once I find out who she is, I will tear her into pieces and let her know how powerful it is to use me." Lu Zijun became more and more angry when she said this. She immediately said to Song Wanning, "Wanning, I will definitely not let this person go. When I get back, I will thoroughly investigate who is behind this."
"It's not hard to guess who's behind this. My aunt has always been at odds with Madam Xu, and Madam Xu and Madam Liu often interact. Madam Xu is also quite critical of the Prime Minister's Mansion. I'm afraid they were the ones who deceived you." Song Wanning sighed and looked at Lu Zijun and said slowly, "You can't be blamed for this."
Lu Zijun became even angrier after hearing what Song Wanning said. She immediately said, "Wanning, now that the truth is out, I will definitely not let Madam Liu and Madam Xu go. They will all pay the price. These people are accomplices to the evil and actually came up with such a vicious plan. I must seek justice for you."
After hearing this, Song Wanning only looked at Lu Zijun and smiled faintly, "Silly sister-in-law, now that we have no evidence, how can you ask for justice for me? My aunt has probably already thought of a way out. If you bring rouge to her house and she refuses to admit it and accuses you of slander, what can you do to her? Can you even kill her?"
"But we can't just let it go like this, can we?" Lu Zijun said, about to pick up the rouge box on the table and throw it outside. "Keep this poisonous thing away from you. These thieves are really calculating. They calculated when I would return to my parents' home and found an opportunity to run into me and my mother. They took out this rouge box just to use me to get rid of the child in your belly. Now it seems that it is really hard to guard against."
Seeing this, Song Wanning hurriedly stopped Lu Zijun and whispered, "Sister-in-law, this thing is physical evidence. If you can have a good argument with your current aunt in the future, this thing will be very useful. If you throw it away now, I'm afraid that by then, all the evidence will be gone."
After hearing what Song Wanning said, Lu Zijun felt that it made some sense. She immediately said to Song Wanning, "You're right. In that case, I'll listen to you. I won't bother with them. If you need me for anything in the future, just let me know. As long as I can do it, I will definitely do it."
When Song Wanning heard Lu Zijun say this, she laughed out loud and whispered, "My dear sister-in-law, with you here, I don't think those bad guys can do anything to me. I do have a favor to ask of you. Please don't make it public for now. Just tell everyone that you asked Doctor Liu to check my pulse, not that you came to see Yanzhi. Just pretend nothing happened. Once I've investigated Yanzhi's case thoroughly, we can talk about settling the matter clean."
Lu Zijun was comforted by Song Wanning for a while, and finally left the house.
Song Wanning sighed, looked at Cui Xiaoxiao beside her, and said softly, "Thank you very much today. Otherwise, I'm afraid I would have fallen into the trap of these thieves."
Cui Xiaoxiao was unusually clever now. She looked at Song Wanning and said slowly, "Madam, you don't have to thank me. I think you've probably noticed something's wrong with the rouge and wanted to check it out yourself. I revealed it in the main hall, but it made the matter public and made Miss Lu very angry."
"Although I am very cautious, I cannot escape such a harmful intention. Now I have to thank you very much. Maybe I have been negligent in my daily life. It is only with Miss Cui's reminder that I can live my life in peace." Song Wanning is really grateful to Cui Xiaoxiao now. If it were not for Cui Xiaoxiao's reminder, this matter would not have been resolved so quickly.
"You're too polite, ma'am. Now that this matter is over, I'll leave first." Cui Xiaoxiao said, then turned around and went back to her own yard.
After Cui Xiaoxiao left, Song Wanning looked at the box of rouge in front of her, lost in thought. She wasn't entirely sure if Wu Junrou had a hand in this matter. If she wanted to know, she'd have to go and find out for herself.
However, she had not announced the fact of her pregnancy to herself, and she did not expect that the news would reach the Yin Mansion so quickly. She was afraid that there might be some dishonest servants in her current Prime Minister's Mansion who were acting as spies for Wu Junrou.
Song Wanning narrowed her eyes when she thought of this. Now, she was afraid that she would have to go to the Yin Mansion in person to test Wu Junrou.
