Chapter 787 Secret Investigation



Xie Wanyi was so angry that her chest heaved!

The person behind the scenes has such a vicious mind!

This is to make her family line extinct!

"Miss Xie, you can't be angry or impatient right now. Calm down quickly, otherwise it will be difficult to recover."

Mr. Lu tried to comfort Xie Wanyi, but he was even angrier than Xie Wanyi in his heart!

If Xie Wanyi finds out about this after she gets married, his life will be in danger!

After hearing what Mr. Lu said, Xie Wanyi took a deep breath and expelled the turbid air from her body.

It took half a cup of tea for him to calm down completely. "Mr. Lu, I will investigate the villain behind this. Please think of a way for me to recover as soon as possible."

"Add two more herbs to the original recipe..."

Elder Lu wrote down the names of two herbs on the table. "...Drink one bowl on an empty stomach in the morning, and another bowl before going to bed at night. Remember not to let the bad guys find out about you. Wait until you marry into the First Prince's Mansion before investigating this matter thoroughly."

The Duke of Anguo's Mansion is so big that there must be some secret affairs in the backyard. The evil people would not extend their hands to the eldest prince's mansion.

"Thank you, Mr. Lu, for reminding me. I'll remember it."

After watching Mr. Lu leave, Xie Wanyi whispered a few words to Zi Yu and returned to her room.

Who is harming her?

Xie Wanyi thought about her cousins, half-sisters, cousins, and those young ladies from aristocratic families who were at odds with her, and she felt that they were all suspects!

The more I thought about it, the more dizzy I became. I went back to my bedroom and fell asleep immediately!

I slept until 6:15 pm.

"Miss, are you feeling better?" Zi Yu reached out and touched Xie Wanyi's forehead.

"Much better!" Xie Wanyi sat up. "No one noticed, did they?"

"Don't worry, young lady. I went to get the medicine in the old lady's name, and no one noticed anything unusual. The only thing I'm worried about is the bowl of medicine I need to drink on an empty stomach this morning."

Xie Wanyi thought for a moment, "It's not very hot now, let's boil the medicine for tomorrow morning..."

After dinner, Zi Yu took the medicine bag containing the contraceptive drug and went to the small kitchen to boil it.

Xie Wanyi's medicine has always been prepared by Zi Yu herself, and the other maids could not find anything unusual.

The fertility medicine soup was boiled for less than quarter of an hour, and when Zi Yu was the only one left in the kitchen, Zi Yu quickly replaced the medicine stove with a new one. Less than half a cup of tea later, someone else came into the kitchen.

There was a big pot of boiling water in front of the tea stove, and the hot steam blocked the view of others.

"Sister Ziyu, let me watch over it." The third-class maid Lu Tao carried an empty laundry basket into the small kitchen.

Ziyu looked at her and asked, "Have you finished washing the clothes?"

"I'm done!"

"Then go down and rest. I have always been in charge of the young lady's meals, and I never rely on anyone else."

After Lu Tao left, the other two maids beside Xie Wanyi, Shaoyao and Baizhi, came in one after another.

Those who were talking around Zi Yu were all saying that Xie Wanyi had to give birth to a son so that she could gain a foothold in the Grand Prince's Mansion and so on.

Ziyu knew that the two of them would not harm Xie Wanyi, but now she was the only one who knew about this matter. The more people knew about it, the more danger there would be.

"The hot water has been boiled a long time ago. Miss didn't sleep well last night, so she might need to go to bed early. You guys go and help her bathe first. After she's done, the medicine soup will be ready."

Shaoyao joked, "Our young lady is about to marry into the eldest prince's mansion and is so nervous she can't sleep."

"That won't do. You have to get up early the day after tomorrow. Miss will only look good if she gets a good night's sleep, and she'll look better when she puts on makeup!" Bai Zhi said as she fetched water, "I'll have to use my best skills to give Miss a good head massage and make sure she gets a good night's sleep before the wedding..."

The two chatted and laughed, called three strong third-class maids, filled several large buckets with hot water, and left the kitchen.

No one came into the kitchen again. Zi Yu poured out the two packets of boiled medicine into two large bowls, covered them and put them into the food box.

He poured the dregs of the soup into the dregs of the Juezi soup and carried the food box out of the room.

Not long after, a dark shadow flashed into the kitchen, checked the medicine residue, and quickly left the kitchen and climbed over the wall to leave the Anguo Mansion.

When Xie Wanyi came back from taking a bath, she saw a bowl of steaming medicine on the table.

"Miss, would you like to light some calming incense tonight?" Zi Yu asked.

"No need to order. Bai Zhi gave me a very comfortable massage just now. I'm a little sleepy now." Xie Wanyi said as she picked up the medicine and drank it. "You all go down to sleep."

Xie Wanyi fell asleep soon after lying down.

"Baizhi, you're truly amazing." Shaoyao pulled her and followed Ziyu out of the bedroom, whispering, "Can you teach me this unique skill?"

"It's hard to control the strength. When you can't sleep one day, I'll give you a massage..."

The next day, at dawn, Zi Yu got up and quietly went into the bedroom, took out the food box from behind the wardrobe, took out another bowl of medicine and heated it up in the tea stove.

Xie Wanyi woke up when she smelled the medicine and whispered, "Zi Yu, bring it here."

After Zi Yu handed the medicine to Xie Wanyi, she walked to the window and pushed it open a little bit. Seeing that the yard was quiet and there was nothing unusual, she pushed the window open wide.

The smell of medicine in the bedroom dissipated soon after Xie Wanyi drank the medicine.

"Miss, sleep a little longer. I'm leaving now."

When it was dawn, Xie Wanyi, who looked unwell, was helped by Zi Yu and others to get up, wash, and dress.

Yunniang rushed over when she learned that Xie Wanyi was unwell. Seeing Xie Wanyi covered in thick powder, her heart skipped a beat. "Wanyi, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

"Mom, I'm fine. I just didn't sleep well. I went to bed early last night and woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't fall asleep again. I'll catch up after my nap."

Yunniang frowned, a little worried. "Why can't you sleep yet? Don't you sleep well? Is something on your mind, or do you not want to go to the wedding?"

"How could that be? I'm willing to go and bring good luck. If I didn't want to, I would have told mother a long time ago... I just..." Xie Wanyi said a little embarrassedly, "Well, I'm just a little nervous before the wedding."

Yunniang felt relieved when she heard this. "If you don't want to, there's still time. Just pretend to be sick and postpone the wedding, and then find a way to get out."

While Yunniang was preparing for her marriage, she also considered various means of breaking off the engagement, such as marrying in a substitute marriage, claiming illness, faking death, and having a feng shui master tell her fortune.

As long as her beloved daughter changes her mind, she will take these measures immediately!

"Mother, I am willing to marry into the Grand Prince's Mansion. I am willing to do so. I will live a good life and will not suffer any hardship. Besides, the Grand Prince's Mansion only has the Prince as its master. No one will embarrass me or let me suffer any injustice."

Seeing that she had made up her mind, Yunniang said nothing more and handed her the box. "Here are the shops, farms, and villas that you will marry, as well as 20,000 taels of silver notes, and a dowry list in triplicate. They've all been registered at the government office. Take them and stamp them with the seal of the eldest prince's palace. Keep one copy at the palace, one for you, and the other for His Majesty!"
