She knew this matter was far from over; since the old lady didn't want her to leave, she would definitely find a way to keep her.
Oh no, to be precise, it's about preserving her dowry. So, how can we preserve her dowry?
Demoting one's wife to a concubine is one way, killing her to silence her is another.
She would definitely not agree to being demoted to a concubine. Therefore, only one last option remained: to kill her to silence her.
There was actually another option: to marry Wang Yuzhen as a secondary wife. However, based on Yunzhi's understanding of Wang Yuzhen, she would definitely not agree. Therefore, Yunzhi ruled out this option from the beginning.
Murder to silence them!
Yunzhi sneered. Come on, she wanted to see just how capable the old lady was.
Hmph, you want to kill her? Don't you even know who she is? The mighty Dark Empress, if she were so easily killed, how would she maintain her reputation?
In short, she just had to wait and see what the old lady did. She believed that with her own abilities, she could definitely survive.
On the contrary, if she wanted to, the Marquis of Dingyuan's mansion could be reduced to ashes overnight. Of course, they haven't crossed her bottom line yet, so she'll let them live for now.
Death is not the most terrifying thing; what is worse than death is the most unbearable and terrifying thing, and the most torturous.
Soon, Yunzhi learned of the old lady's methods. Looking at the tampered food in front of her, Yunzhi was speechless.
If she were just an ordinary young lady from a wealthy family, she might have actually eaten the food and let the old lady get her way.
She wasn't an ordinary rich girl, nor was she even from this era. Even though she had transmigrated from the past as a child, she was still a girl raised under the red flag at heart.
In her past life, she was born into a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners and even attended medical school to study clinical medicine. In other words, she had a broad knowledge of both traditional Chinese and Western medicine. In her past life, her medical skills were quite good, but fate was unkind, and she died suddenly at a young age due to overwork.
When she opened her eyes again, she had become Yunzhi, a little girl who had drowned in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Reborn, she still had a deep love for medicine, so she begged her grandparents to send her to study medicine. Coincidentally, she became the apprentice of the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley.
Medicine King Valley is not only renowned for its medical skills, but also for its expertise in poisons. Seeing her talent, her master taught her not only medicine but also poisons.
Therefore, her medical skills are now unmatched in ancient times; she can identify such a simple poison at a glance.
Yunzhi sneered and told Rulan to pack the food back into the food box and carry it to the old lady's Cining Courtyard.
Upon arriving at the destination, Yunzhi did not have anyone announce her arrival and went straight in. Seeing the old lady having her meal, her face instantly lit up with a smile, and she said, "The old lady is also having her meal. I just felt that it was no fun to eat alone, so I brought the food over to eat with the old lady."
As she spoke, Yunzhi gestured for Rulan to bring out the food and place it in front of the old lady, saying, "Old lady, these dishes taste quite good. I brought them here especially for you to try."
"Rulan, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and serve the old lady some food."
"Yes, Madam!" Rulan responded and immediately stepped forward to serve the old lady some food. However, the old lady turned pale with fright, slapped the food Rulan was offering away, and looked at Yunzhi with terror, shouting, "Yunzhi, what exactly do you want to do?"
