Xiuchun, Lin Jinyu, and the gatekeeper were shocked and rushed over.
But a faster figure rushed over, grabbed Liu Qiao'er's hands behind her back, and dislocated her arms with two sharp cracks.
Liu Qiao'er screamed like a pig being slaughtered. The jade bottle fell to the ground, and the silvery liquid inside rolled down, forming small round beads.
"Don't touch that mercury, it's poisonous!" Song San shouted immediately.
Xiuchun hurriedly looked at Su Xuerong's wrist and saw that blisters were gradually forming on the red and swollen area.
"Quick, draw well water!" Su Xue endured the burning pain, avoided Xiu Chun and Lin Jinyu's touch, and quickly ran back to the house.
Xiuchun hurriedly fetched well water, and Su Xuerong immediately instructed her to continuously pour the water onto the wound. It took three buckets of water to alleviate the burning sensation.
Then she instructed Xiuchun to carefully take all the oil-paper umbrellas and clothes that had been contaminated with mercury to the backyard and bury them in the soil.
Xiuchun and Lin Jinyu were both terrified.
Su Xuerong comforted them without changing her expression: "When your parents come back later, you must keep your mouths shut!"

Lin Jinyu said angrily, "What should we do with that woman? Should we report her to the authorities?"
"No need, Song San will handle it," Su Xuerong said coldly.
Song San had Liu Qiao'er tied up and carefully cleaned up the mercury that had been scattered around.
The matter was of great importance, so Song San left some men to guard the Su residence while he personally escorted Liu Qiao'er to the Prince's Mansion to meet with Madam Cui.
Looking at Liu Qiao'er kneeling on the ground, Cui was astonished: "What have you done?"
Song San presented the jade bottle: "Madam, Madam Liu intends to use mercury to disfigure Madam Su's face."
He could see it very clearly back then.
Liu Qiao'er threw the jade bottle at Su Xuerong's face. If Su Xuerong hadn't used an oil-paper umbrella to block it, her face would probably be ruined by now.
Cui couldn't help but slap Liu Qiao'er hard across the face: "Tell me, where did the mercury come from?"
Mercury is not something that ordinary people can obtain. If no one gave her instructions, Liu Qiao'er, with her limited intelligence, would never know its purpose.
