The nickname is a single character – 寒 (Han), and the profile picture is provided by the platform.

Jian Yixue chuckled inwardly. This really was Ye Mohan, perfectly matching his style of doing things.

After clicking to confirm adding him as a friend and sending the message, I stared intently at my phone to see if he had accepted my request.

A short while later, I received a message indicating that the addition was successful.

Unable to contain her joy, Jian Yixue sent a message.

Moon: [Guess who I am?]

Han: [Madam.]

Moon: [How did you know it was me?]

Han: [Not many people have my private number, so I knew it was you as soon as I saw it.]

Yue: [I'm waiting for Butler Jin to come over so we can discuss something.]

Then I took a picture of the study and sent it over.

Han: [Yeah, when I'm bored, I'll go look at some books on the bookshelf.]

Yue: [Okay, you go ahead and do what you need to do. I'm going to read a book.]

Han: [Hmm.]

In her past life, she didn't know his preferences; in this life, she wants to try to understand them.

Jian Yixue put down her phone, got up and walked to the bookshelf, randomly picked up a book and started flipping through it.

After flipping through a few pages, she looked up at the bookshelf, where a row of books on military topics stood.

It's hard to believe that a businessman like him would be interested in this.

Seeing that Butler Jin hadn't arrived yet, Jian Yixue took a book and went back to her desk to read.

After an unknown amount of time, a knock sounded on the door.

"Young Madam, it's me." Butler Jin's voice came from the doorway.

Jian Yixue got up and booked a room for him.

When Butler Jin saw Jian Yixue, he bowed respectfully and greeted her, "Young Madam."

"Um."

The two then returned to their desks and sat down opposite each other.

"Young Madam, is there a problem with today's medicinal meal?"

Jian Yixue nodded, her voice low and cold, "Yes, someone added aconitine to it."

Butler Jin looked completely bewildered. He was ignorant of medicine and had no idea what aconitine was.

Upon hearing this, Jian Yixue explained, "If aconitine is taken orally, 0.02mg can cause poisoning, and 3-5mg can be fatal. It causes extremely serious damage to the heart."

Upon hearing this, Butler Jin's expression immediately changed. This was an attempt to murder him for money! This was outrageous!

"Call the police immediately, this person is completely lawless."

Jian Yixue shook her head. "Let's not alert her for now. I want to lure out the person behind her. Tell me what you've found."

Butler Jin frowned and slowly said, "The people I arranged to monitor Sister Cheng discovered tonight that she was on the phone with someone and seemed flustered, as if the other party had some kind of leverage over her."

"She has discovered that you are spying on her."

"Yes, that's right. She must have called and told the other party, and they couldn't hold back anymore, so they let her kill him. Should I go and call her over for questioning?"

"No need. It seems that Sister Cheng is quite vigilant. If what you say is true, and the other party has something on her, she won't tell the truth even if we call her over."

"What can we do? We can't let her keep causing trouble for the master," Butler Jin said anxiously.

Jian Yixue raised an eyebrow: "How could that be? Come here, I'll tell you."

Butler Jin listened intently, his brows gradually relaxing, and a look of joy appearing on his face.

"That's a good idea. I'll go tell the master right away."

Jian Yixue nodded, letting Butler Jin go to find the old man.

Seeing that it was getting late, Jian Yixue got up and left the study, preparing to go back to her bedroom to rest.

Meanwhile, back in the old man's bedroom, Butler Jin explained Jian Yixue's plan to the old man in detail. The old man frowned and then agreed, after all, he also wanted to know who was behind his death.

He still harbored some love for his son.

The next day, when Jian Yixue went out, she heard the servants whispering.

"What happened? Why has the master's condition suddenly worsened? He was perfectly fine before."

"How would I know? Dr. Zhao rushed over early this morning. Judging from his complexion, his condition must not be good."

"Oh, why is the master so reluctant to go to the hospital? Maybe there will be a chance if he goes there."

"You didn't know? I heard that the old lady passed away in the hospital when she was sick. Ever since then, the old master has been particularly resistant to going to the hospital, and even the young master can't do anything about it."

"You said the master is sick, so why hasn't the young master returned yet, leaving only the young mistress here? What's going on?"

"I heard he went abroad on a business trip."

"Sigh, I hope the master can get through this smoothly."

The maids left one after the other, and Jian Yixue only came out after they left.

Recalling their conversation, she realized she hadn't told Ye Mohan about this plan. If someone else had told him, he would probably have been frantic.

After thinking for a moment, she took out her phone and sent him a private message, informing Ye Mohan of her entire plan.

Ye Mohan quickly replied to her.

【Um】

Jian Yixue smiled as she looked at her phone, said nothing more, and prepared to go to the old man's place.

After all, as a granddaughter-in-law, with her husband away from home and the old man sick, she should go and visit him. If she's going to put on an act, she should at least go all the way.

On the way to the old man's room, I saw many servants whispering among themselves. Some had worried expressions on their faces, while others looked on with a deep sense of amusement.

Jian Yixue couldn't help but sigh at the myriad aspects of life.

When she arrived at the door of the old man's room, Jian Yixue knocked and announced her arrival.

Soon, Butler Kim came to open the door for her, and she walked slowly inside, leading the way.

Then I saw the old man talking to Dr. Zhao. The old man looked healthy and rosy, and he seemed like a completely different person from the old man that people outside had said was in critical condition and might not make it.

"Grandpa, what are you talking about? You seem so happy," Jian Yixue asked sweetly.

The old man looked at Jian Yixue kindly: "No, we were just chatting. Why don't you rest a little longer?"

Jian Yixue walked to the bedside and sat down, slowly saying, "You slept quite a lot. Besides, you're sick, how could I not come and see you? You agree, right?"

The old man glared at her. "You brat, wasn't it all your fault for coming up with this terrible idea?"

Jian Yixue grinned and laughed. She thought the old man in front of her, who was like a child, was especially adorable today.

"Grandpa, as long as it works, let the person behind the scenes be happy for a while, and then spread the news that you are alright tomorrow. I believe that soon, that person will get restless and will definitely come to investigate the truth in person."

"Butler Jin, starting tomorrow, we need to assign a few capable people to Grandpa's side."

Upon hearing this, Butler Jin nodded with a serious expression.

Seeing the old man and Butler Jin's attitude towards Jian Yixue, Dr. Zhao instantly realized that this woman was very shrewd.

She is both courageous and resourceful when it comes to making arrangements, just like a natural leader. She is organized, decisive, and ruthless. No wonder the old man is fond of her. It seems that she is indeed worthy of Ye Shao, the business legend of the capital.
