The next day.
Ye Lanyin was playing with Lin Wanwan, teasing her with a small rattle drum.
"Madam, something has happened." Hua Mei walked in from outside, looking flustered.
"What's wrong?"
"Madam, the Grand Commandant's concubine has been beaten to death!"
Ye Lanyin's heart skipped a beat.
"How is Yu Rong?"
"This morning, I saw several imperial physicians rushing to the Grand Commandant's residence."
"I only found out after inquiring that yesterday Madam Sheng personally supervised the delivery of the crabapple blossoms to you. I never expected that the concubine would actually cast a curse on Madam Sheng in her courtyard."
"Later, it was heard that the concubine had actually put a contraceptive in the ginseng soup that Madam Sheng drank all year round. In a fit of rage, Lord Sheng had the concubine beaten to death."
Even now, Hua Mei's heart is still unsettled. Such things often happen in the inner quarters, but to use both curses and poison, this concubine is far too vicious.
Wait, something's not right.
The book states that Aunt Sheng never discovered this, and having no children of her own, she eventually adopted the concubine's child.
[How could this be discovered now?]
【%￥*！ @*&（……&）】
Ye Lanyin wanted to hear Lin Wanwan continue, but the childish voice was intermittent.
Lin Wanwan discovered today that she can control her feet.
At that moment, she was diligently gripping her foot and licking it with great relish.
"Ugh, chirp..."
“Yu Rong must be in a bad mood today. I remember when I was pregnant with Wan Wan, I went to Chanfeng Temple to get a peace charm. Go and get it from under my bed.”
"Yes, madam."
Hua Mei knew that this was Madam trying to improve her relationship with Madam Sheng.
Over the years, Madam Sheng had also secretly inquired about Madam Sheng's affairs, and she kept a record of everything that happened.
I heard that back then, this concubine was personally arranged for the Grand Commandant by Madam Sheng.
[Your Majesty, please let me see what kind of amulet this is.]
I can help Aunt Sheng...
"Mother..." Lin Wanwan struggled for a moment, trying to open her mouth to speak, but in the end...
"Chirp chirp..."
Well, she's just a child now; she doesn't have that extraordinary ability to speak.
Ye Lanyin knew that her daughter had some skills.
After Hua Mei brought over the amulet, she casually opened it, pretending to show it to Lin Wanwan.
"Wanwan, look, this is something your mother specially asked for when she was pregnant with you. Would you be willing to give it to Yurong?"
Lin Wanwan opened her eyes wide.
"Ah ah..."
[Mother, please touch my hand, please...]
Upon hearing this, Ye Lanyin quickly pretended to place it in her hand, saying, "Wanwan, Mother hopes you will live a peaceful life."
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Lin Wanwan quickly chanted a spell, and in an instant, a faint golden light was injected into it.
Ye Lanyin sensed the faint light and was shocked, but she also knew that this matter was of great importance.
"Wanwan, since you have no objection, I will give it to Yurong. I will definitely say that you took it."
Lin Wanwan grinned and giggled, her chubby lips making Ye Lanyin unable to resist giving her a kiss.
Smack!
"Hua Mei, this peace charm must not be discovered. Go to the Grand Commandant's residence and tell him that Madam Sheng left something behind yesterday and return it to her."
"Yes, madam."
My mother is so kind.
Yifeng Residence.
Ever since hearing Lin Wanwan's heartfelt words, Lin Rui'an has been afraid to eat the meals prepared in the small kitchen.
He had been feeling better these past few days, but the servant noticed it.
"Second Young Master, you haven't eaten the food in the courtyard for a long time. You must miss it, right? Today, I specially ordered the kitchen to make your favorite side dishes. Please have a few bites."
Lin Chang'an raised his head and glanced at him.
This servant was a gift from Lin Shixuan.
He had always been grateful to his older brother for taking care of them, but he never expected him to be so wicked.
On the table were his favorite snacks, which his mother usually forbade him to eat because of his poor health.
Every time, it was this servant boy who secretly gave it to him, and he even thought he was loyal.
Over time, they started to take extra care of him.
"Ah Yong, you're so thoughtful."
He casually picked up a pastry and put it in his mouth.
Ah Yong chuckled and scratched his head: "Second Young Master, this servant is your man, so naturally I care about you."
"I'm a little thirsty, could you get me a glass of water?"
"Alright, Second Young Master, please wait a moment."
While he went to get water, Lin Rui'an quickly grabbed a handkerchief and spat out what was in his mouth.
Then he grabbed several pastries from the table and wrapped one up.
"Here it is, Second Young Master. Please eat it while it's hot."
"Mmm," Lin Rui'an replied with a smile, then continued eating.
Ah Yong stared intently at Lin Rui'an, and seeing that he had eaten quite a lot, he smiled very happily.
"Second Young Master, what's wrong?"
Lin Rui'an touched his head, shook it several times, and mumbled, "I... I feel like my body isn't doing well again..."
"Second Young Master, why don't you take a nap?"
"good."
Lin Rui'an was half asleep when A Yong helped him to the small bed for a nap.
Seeing his expression, Ah Yong quickly brought him a glass of water. "Young master, would you like some water?"
Lin Rui'an: ....
"Young Master?"
"Young master, please wake up."
Seeing that he was unconscious, A Yong quickly opened the window lattice next to him.
"Young Master, please hurry, the Second Young Master will wake up soon."
Ah Yong helped Lin Shixuan climb over the window and come in.
After Lin Shixuan steadied himself, he looked around. He felt resentful that, despite being the legitimate sons of the Marquis's mansion, his room was not as well-furnished as Lin Chang'an's and Lin Rui'an's.
