"Miss, Madam Xu has written to Jiangnan." Although Yunzhi has severed ties with the Yun family, there are still people watching the Yun family's every move.
She was just taking precautions. The attitudes of Madam Xu and the Yun family were clear; who knew when they might cause trouble? It was best to keep an eye on them.
"Okay, I understand." Yunzhi nodded, not taking it to heart.
However, speaking of the Xu family in Jiangnan, she remembered the letter she received a few days ago; her uncle's family was already on their way to the capital.
I wonder where they are now.
So she instructed Rumei, "Have your men keep an eye on them and see where Uncle and the others are."
"Don't worry, Miss, someone is keeping an eye on things. They'll let you know as soon as they arrive."
"Hmm!" Yunzhi nodded and waved for Rumei to leave.
Unexpectedly, Ru Mei stood still and looked at her as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
"What's wrong? Is there something else?" Yunzhi looked at Rumei with some confusion, as she wasn't usually like this. Moreover, she was very tolerant of them, and wouldn't say anything unless it was a matter of principle.
"Miss, it seems that the madman has also come to the capital." Ru Mei said, glancing at her mistress.
The madman was called Qiu Feng, a nickname given to him by people in the martial arts world because of his crazy actions.
"So what if he's here? Do you think I'm afraid of him?" Yunzhi was somewhat speechless. In the past, she simply didn't want to argue with him, which was why she always gave in to him.
But to her surprise, the more she provoked the other party, the more aggressive they became. Especially since the other party was incredibly ruthless and constantly looking for trouble, wanting to challenge her to a duel and force her to admit defeat.
So far, the madman has given her no fewer than dozens of kinds of poison, but none of them have been able to harm her.
However, because she finds the other person annoying, she usually avoids seeing them. Of course, if the other person goes too far, she will give them a little lesson.
“I know Miss is not afraid of him, but someone saw his entourage contacting Madam Xu and Miss Yunzhu outside the Dark Tower.”
"Really? It seems he wants to detoxify Yunzhu."
"Yes, he already went to the Yun residence this morning. Should we...?"
"Never mind him."
Hearing this, Rumei nodded and withdrew. Since her mistress said she wouldn't interfere, then she wouldn't interfere either.
At the Yun residence, Madam Xu quickly contacted her informant, handed over the poison, and said, "If you accomplish this, I will remove your entire family from slavery and give you five hundred taels of silver to settle your family."
"Don't worry, Madam, I will definitely handle this matter well. Just wait for the good news."
People die for wealth, birds die for food.
Forget about getting rid of his slave status, he'd do it even if it was just five hundred taels. That's five hundred taels, enough for him to live on for a lifetime.
"Go on," Madam Xu waved her hand, dismissing the person.
Once the other party left, Xu's trusted nanny was somewhat uneasy and said, "Madam, should I send someone to keep an eye on him?"
"No need!" Madam Xu shook her head. Yunzhi was too shrewd. It wouldn't be good if she found out. Not only would the poisoning attempt fail, but Yunzhi might also come looking for trouble.
Meanwhile, the servant took the poison and returned to the other courtyard. He wasn't stupid; he knew it wouldn't be easy for him to get close to Yunzhi, let alone poison her.
Therefore, he befriended an old woman who washed Yunzhi's clothes, and then, when she wasn't looking, poured the good medicine powder into the washing water.
