Although the Su Mansion is only a lord's official residence, as a large family that has been operating in Wuliu City for hundreds of years, the structure and layout of the mansion are not much different from those of a small palace complex. It is divided into two layers, inner and outer, with staggered layout and strict hierarchy.

In addition to the Su family, there are tens of thousands of people living here. They are all servants bought by the Su Mansion or people hired to work for the Su family.

The lord also lives in the Su Mansion, but the lord's mansion in the inner core is quite far away from where the servants live.

The lord's mansion, the core main courtyard.

The eldest lady was sitting in the hall drinking tea, talking to the young girl next to her from time to time, and occasionally cheerful laughter could be heard.

After holding a high position, the eldest lady's schedule was not busy. For many things, she only needed to give an order and many subordinates and vassals would help to handle them. She only had to check the results. As for the process, it was not an important matter.

"Mother, how about this Black Wood Leaf Tea? I got it from a merchant in the Far East Kingdom. I heard it was originally a tribute to the royal family. And this Xianglongtan Flower Tea, give it a smell..."

The young girl was only 28 years old, with a pure and beautiful appearance, skin as white as snow, and a childishness that had not completely faded from her face.

She knew that her mother liked tea, so when she was practicing outside, she would often bring some local specialties, no matter if they were expensive tea or ordinary ones, as long as they tasted good, she would bring some back for her mother to try.

"Qingqing, this black wood leaf tea is a bit bitter at first, but after swallowing, it becomes sweet, a bit..."

As a magician, the eldest lady pays great attention to maintenance and ages very slowly. Although she is over fifty years old, her appearance is no different from that of a woman in her early thirties, and she still has the charm unique to a young woman.

In aristocratic families, appearance is not the most important thing, but for women, it is more important than social status to some extent.

"I have something important to discuss with the Madam, and I'd appreciate it if Guard Lin could be lenient with me!"

"The eldest lady is drinking tea with the fifth lady. No one is allowed to disturb her."

"Guard Lin, you're joking. I'm the Madam's trusted confidant, so I can't be considered an outsider, right?"

Just as the mother and daughter were talking, there was some noisy noise outside.

Su Qingqing was pouring tea from the teapot. When she heard the noise coming from outside, she looked at the eldest lady with some doubt: "Does mother have any other plans today?"

"Probably not..." The eldest lady frowned slightly, put down the teacup in her hand, and whispered to the guard outside: "Xiao Lin, let him in!"

After a while, Manager Chen came running in from outside. He glanced at the Fifth Miss who was sitting in her seat with a smile on her face, bowed his head, and called out cautiously, "Fifth Miss, Madam..."

The eldest lady glanced at Manager Chen, her eyes wandering: "Little Chen! Remember what I said, if there is anything, you must inform me one day in advance."

Although Manager Chen is a confidant, he still needs to apply in advance if he wants to see the eldest lady.

"I remember, I remember. How could I dare forget what the Madam said?" Steward Chen said repeatedly, his face full of flattery. "But now there is indeed an urgent matter. I must tell the Madam. Otherwise, I would not dare to disturb the elegance of the Fifth Miss and the Madam!"

Since Steward Chen said so, Fifth Miss Su shook her head gently, glanced at her mother beside her, and said tactfully, "Since Steward Chen has something important to discuss with you, I will take my leave first."

My mother's work involves a lot of secrets. She is not in power in the mansion yet, so it is not good for her to hear too much.

Although Su Qingqing is young, as the daughter of a wealthy family, she has been influenced by her family since childhood and has always been meticulous.

The eldest lady did not try to keep her daughter. She just smiled and nodded: "Be good, Qingqing. Come see me next time when you are free."

"kindness."

Su nodded slightly, then stood up and left the hall.

After watching her daughter leave, the eldest lady's face darkened. She looked at the humbled Chen steward beside her with an unhappy expression, "Little Chen, tell me, what's the urgent matter?"

Under the Madam's slightly ruthless gaze, Steward Chen sweated profusely. After taking a deep breath, he simply recounted the incident: "Su Yuechen, who was originally poisoned to death by the Seven-Step Powder, is now alive again and is eating breakfast in the servants' dining hall."

"...What?!" The eldest lady had never expected that the important matter that Manager Chen was talking about was actually this. "Are you saying that Su Yuechen is back alive again?"

"Yes, not only did I see it myself, but many others also saw it. I felt that there was something strange about it, so I hurried to report it to the Madam."

Manager Chen kept his head down and didn't dare to look up at the other person.

"...Have you used up all the Seven Steps Powder I gave you?"

The eldest lady was also shocked, and after pondering for a moment, she asked in a low voice.

"It's all used up. The dosage of Seven Steps Powder is enough to kill Su Yuechen, an ordinary person without any magic power. Even an ordinary five-ring mage would be killed directly."

Manager Chen kept saying this, fearing that the eldest lady would blame him for not doing his job well.

In fact, for safety reasons, he drank all of the Seven-Step Powder. This is not only a poison to the body, but can also poison the soul.

But no one expected that Su Yuechen would come back alive, and there was no sign of poisoning at all.

The eldest lady frowned slightly and asked in a low voice, "Why is that? This matter is a bit strange. Have you seen her mother come back?"

Manager Chen shook his head repeatedly: "Her mother was not seen alive, and she came back alone."

Then his eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "When I saw her before, she wanted to thank me, saying that it was a blessing in disguise that she awakened some powerful bloodline, which is why she was not poisoned to death."

"Awakening bloodline? A bloodline that's immune to poison?" The eldest lady's expression changed, and then her eyes became deep. "I understand. You should go back first. Remember not to tell anyone about what happened here, otherwise I won't be able to protect you."

"Yes, I understand!"

Manager Chen didn't dare to ask the eldest lady what to do next. Since she didn't give him direct instructions, it was none of his business from then on.

He bowed as if he had been pardoned, and then left the hall.

"Awakened bloodline?" The doctor fell into deep thought until Manager Chen left. "What kind of bloodline could Su Yuechen have? A useless bloodline that was born without magical power..."

After thinking about it for a while, she still didn't understand the reason, so she glanced at the corner next to her and called out in a low voice: "Heiyu, go and get rid of that Su Yuechen."

"yes."

After a long time, the sound came from the shadow in the corner.
