Before he could do anything, his sister-in-law was brought in by a maid.

Then one of his close attendants suddenly fainted and collapsed to the ground.

His sister-in-law also came over to him and took out two straw dolls, fiddling with them.

Then he saw Shi Lingqiao and the Fourth Prince enter the room one after the other.

He wasn't stupid; he realized something was wrong.

"Sister-in-law, are Shi Lingqiao and the Fourth Prince plotting against us?"

Otherwise, why would they have been tricked into coming to this secluded courtyard alone?

Qingyou deliberately let Huo Xi know about this so that she could be more ruthless towards char siu bao in the future.

"Yes, Shi Ling tricked me and you; she put drugs in that room."

“If we all go in, we’ll lose our minds.”

“After we get infected, the people she arranged will send a message to Ji Wen.”

"Ji Wenhui would bring the guests who came to the banquet to this side courtyard to watch the play."

“Our reputation will be completely ruined. Not only will your position as heir be insecure, but they also want to drive me out of the manor.”

"At that time, this Duke's mansion will be theirs to rule."

After hearing this, Huo Jiwen's expression changed, and then a look of gloom and anger appeared on his face.

"They are so ruthless that they actually came up with such a vicious method."

If Shi Lingqiao and Huo Jiwen succeed in their scheme, his and his sister-in-law's reputations will be completely ruined.

Even if my sister-in-law were a princess, she would still be despised by everyone in the capital.

He would naturally be the same, despised and impeached by the censors.

The emperor and his elder brother will then find themselves in a dilemma.

Moreover, he himself was not sure if his older brother could tolerate him and his sister-in-law being successfully tricked and seen by so many people.

It must be said that this scheme was ruthless, but it was also very effective in destroying them.
