"Mother, right?"

The mistress was taken aback; she hadn't expected Gu Jiangli to hold onto this so firmly.

Gu Jiangli's health is fine, and Lan Shuang only meant well but ended up doing something wrong. How could Gu Jiangli be so unreasonable?

“Son… Lan Shuang knows she was wrong. It was an accident. Let’s just let it go this time. I don’t think she’ll ever do something so foolish again. After all… we’re still family.”

She still couldn't bring herself to punish her daughter.

It's true that she values ​​her son's offspring, but once she learned that Gu Jiangli's body hadn't been harmed by the medicine, she decided to let Lan Shuang go.

Especially after learning that Lan Shuang had no intention of harming anyone, she was even more determined to let the matter drop.

But Gu Jiangli was a tough nut to crack. "Mistress, you can't bear to punish Lan Shuang because you are family, but I am not, right?"

Prince Yu's brows furrowed so deeply they could trap a fly. "You are my legal wife, the Princess Consort of Prince Yu's residence. Who would dare disown you?"

"Very well, since Your Highness acknowledges me, why don't you make the decision? You are fair and impartial and will not intentionally show favoritism. The decision on Lan Shuang's fate is still up to you."

Lan Shuang looked at her brother with pleading eyes, but Prince Yu ignored her.

"Since Lan Shuang said she is researching medicinal herbs, then go to the ancestral hall and copy the Six Harmonies Medical Classic ten times."

Lan Shuang: "Ten...ten times?!"

The Six Harmonies Medical Encyclopedia is said to be the longest medical book in the world! If you copied it ten times, it would take you several months to finish it!

To copy it in the ancestral hall—isn't that a disgrace before our ancestors?

"Brother...I don't want to..."

"If you don't want to copy, then go clean the chamber pot. You choose one."

Lan Shuang slumped helplessly into a chair, overwhelmed by despair.

She couldn't outmaneuver Gu Jiangli, and she even got outsmarted by her!

The humiliation fueled her resentment, and she stared at Gu Jiangli with venomous eyes, as if she wanted to devour her whole.

She gritted her teeth and said, "...I'll copy it!"
