"You two tidy up the villa in the capital. We will be leaving the Marquis's residence soon. Also, have Anlou spread the news that the divine physician Wuxin is coming to the capital."
"Yes, I will take care of it right away."
After Yunzhi finished explaining the situation, Ruju and Ruzhu left.
After the two left, Yunzhi was preparing to rest when the old lady sent someone over to ask her to come over.
When Yunzhi arrived at Ci'an Courtyard, she saw a kind old woman kneeling on the ground in the kitchen, who was in charge of tending the fire.
When the old lady saw Yunzhi approaching, she said impatiently, "Yunshi, we've found the person who poisoned your food. What do you want to do with them?"
"Is that so? Is the old lady sure she's really the murderer?" Yunzhi sneered, glancing at the old woman kneeling on the ground, then at Granny Jiang standing beside the old lady, and said, "Old lady, I've told you, nobody's a fool. You think you can just find someone to take the blame and let this matter go? No way. Unless you hand over the real murderer, I won't let this go so easily. If anything happens to anyone else in the Marquis's mansion, don't blame me for not warning you."
"Yun, you?!" The old lady pointed at Yunzhi, too angry to speak. She thought she could fool Yunzhi by bringing out a kitchen maid. But who knew that Yunzhi would insist on sticking to the real culprit?
Could it be that we really have to hand over Granny Jiang?
Not only did Granny Jiang not want to die, but the old lady was also reluctant to let her go. Granny Jiang had been with her for decades, not only as her confidante and friend, but also as someone who knew all her secrets.
Once Granny Jiang is handed over, can her secrets still be kept? Although some things happened a long time ago, if they are exposed, it will be a disaster for her.
"Madam, you must think carefully before you decide whether to protect your servant or your children and grandchildren."
"You!" Upon hearing this, the old lady was so angry that she pointed at Yunzhi's nose, unable to speak. This was a blatant threat!
Seeing that the other party was quite angry, Yunzhi spoke again, saying, "Of course, if you want to protect both sides, it's not impossible. Your son and I will get a divorce, and from then on, we will have no further connection in our own marriages. What do you think?"
The old lady naturally didn't think so. But Yunzhi was so assertive; if they didn't let her get a divorce, they would lose a trusted confidante.
She naturally didn't want Yunzhi to divorce, and she certainly didn't want her to take her dowry. Otherwise, she wouldn't have wanted her dead.
Seeing that the old lady had not spoken, Yunzhi's patience ran out, and she said coldly, "Old lady, one should not be too greedy, otherwise all one's efforts will be in vain."
"Alright, I promise you, I'll let Yuan'er divorce you." The old lady finally made her decision. Compared to money, she felt that life was more important.
"Then call him over now. I've already written the divorce papers. He just needs to come over, sign them, and put his fingerprint on them." Yunzhi took out a divorce paper from her body, flicked it, and smiled.
Seeing that she seemed to have come prepared, the old lady was furious, but there was nothing she could do about it. Because she had no leverage over Yunzhi, and the other woman didn't care about the power of the Marquis's mansion at all.
An Xiuyuan arrived at Cining Courtyard and saw Yunzhi there. He immediately frowned and said unhappily, "What are you doing here?"
After saying that, he immediately looked at the old lady and asked, "Mother, are you alright?"
