The next morning.
Yuzhui took two servants to clean the flowers and trees, preparing to move a few pots of flowers that were not cold-resistant into the greenhouse.
Suddenly, Yuzhui cried out in surprise, "Why is this Buddha's hand withered? It was still growing well a while ago."
Xie Wanyun was stunned. She had always liked that pot of Buddha's hand and had taken great care of the jade pendant.
At this time, the golden Buddha's hand turned black, the leaves withered, and emitted a rotten smell.
Xie Wanyun reached out and touched the leaf lightly, and it fell off. The soil at the bottom of the pot was black and muddy. She reached out and pressed it, and it felt sticky.
Her eyes flashed, and she suddenly remembered that a few days ago, because the medicine was too bitter to swallow, she poured it into the flowerpot.
A tonic, and naturally also a fertilizer for flowers.
She raised her hand and pulled up the Buddha's hand by the roots. Sure enough, the roots had already rotted.
There was frost in her eyes.
It’s a pity that the medicine is poisonous.
The Qin family took advantage of her and even tried to find a way to kill her.
How can human hearts be so vicious!
She gradually tightened her grip on the flower, and the rotten roots turned to powder in her palm.
She stood up and returned to her room, saying, "Yuzhui, tell everyone that I've been feeling unwell for the past few days and won't be seeing any visitors. All the formalities of greeting are excused."
"Yes!" Yuzhui replied.
In the next few days, Xie Wanyun stayed indoors and taught Quan Ge'er to read and write in his room.
Quan Ge'er had become much more obedient since Xie Wanyun's punishment, but children are naughty after all, and after only a few days of peace, they would start trouble again.
That day, Xie Wanyun punished him by making him kneel down because he refused to recite the text.
The child sobbed and cried.
Xie Wanyun held the teacup in his hand and said lightly, "If you cry once more, you'll be punished for an extra hour. If you cry twice, you'll be punished for two hours. If you want to continue kneeling, feel free to cry as much as you want."
Quan Ge'er stopped crying immediately, but tears were still on his face, making him look pitiful.
Seeing his aggrieved look, Xie Wanyun couldn't help but think of her own children.
I don’t know who picked it up. How is it doing now?
Did that person treat him well?
A hint of tenderness appeared in Xie Wanyun's eyes, which she herself was not aware of.
She hadn't paid her respects to Madam Qin and Madam Wei in the past few days, and they hadn't come to ask about her affairs. The servant at the front door replied that Qin Su'an hadn't returned home either, so she thought he was with Liu Yun'er.
The mansion is quiet.
But it's time to go out.
"Yuzhui, help me dress up. I want to go out for a walk."
"Yeah!" Yuzhui responded happily. The lady had been bored at home for these days and finally decided to go out.
Then he took out all her clothes and jewelry.
Xie Wanyun, unlike her usual attire of wide robes and big sleeves, carefully chose a light green short jacket with narrow sleeves and put it on, with a dark green half-sleeve top and a yellow and green narrow long skirt that trailed on the ground, which made her figure look slender and graceful.
"Madam, what are you doing..."
Yuzhu looked a little confused.
"Let's go check out the shop. It's convenient to dress like this." Xie Wanyun said lightly.
When she got married, she had a lot of dowry.
Those shops and banks were all properties of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, and were the capital left to her by her father and brother for her to make a living.
Several of the shops are doing a booming business and making huge profits every day.
In her previous life, she was driven into a trance by the Qin family and didn't care about anything, allowing them to take over all these properties.
In this life, she will never let the things of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion fall into the hands of those evil people.
The carriage had already stopped at the gate of the mansion. Just as she stepped on it, the little boy she met that day suddenly appeared before her eyes.
Although it was only a brief encounter and a few words of conversation, his intelligence and cleverness left a deep impression on her.
But the child got on the Yan Mansion's carriage.
This matter is indeed a bit strange.
Xie Wanyun shook his head slightly, frowned and said nothing.
The carriage left the Yuanxing Marquis Mansion and headed towards the main road in the city.
After walking for a while, Xie Wanyun's sensitive ears suddenly caught a strange sound.
His face turned stern!
"Madam, what's wrong?" Yu Zhui became nervous when he saw her strange expression.
"Shh!" Xie Wanyun made a gesture to keep quiet.
She is a martial artist, and her senses are more sensitive than those of ordinary people.
This carriage was modified, with a small secret compartment at the rear for emergencies. If an enemy hid inside, then...
There were a few more soft sounds.
This time, Yuzhui also heard it, and her face turned pale. She whispered, "Madam, there's someone hiding in the carriage! Could it be that the Qin family wants to kill us?"
Xie Wanyun shook her head slightly. With her skills, even if there were ten or eight of them, she wouldn't be afraid.
Besides, how many people can be hidden in this small secret room?
Her eyes darkened, she stretched out her long arms, and "whoosh!" opened the door of the secret room.
He shouted sternly, "Who is it? Get out!"
