"Xiang Zhu, do you know whether the old lady loves me?"

Xiang Zhu was confused, but she continued to answer: "Madam, the old lady naturally dotes on you. Otherwise, how could she let you become the daughter-in-law of the Qin family?"

[Spoil? How can there be any spoiling? The old lady has already laid many traps, but she has temporarily held back because of your business acumen and ability! ]

Sheng Yunrong raised her eyes and asked the most crucial question -

"Then do you know whether the master and the old lady have ever... poisoned me?"

Xiang Zhu's eyes froze for a moment, she lowered her head, and spoke slowly after a moment: "Madam, the old lady has always been very caring towards you, and the master is also a kind person, how could they do such a wicked thing? I... I really don't know."

Sheng Yunrong frowned, she sighed softly and said, "I know they are very good to me, but I always feel that there must be something fishy behind this."

Xiang Zhu raised his head, looked at Sheng Yunrong with an honest gaze, and said, "Madam, if this is true, I will definitely get to the bottom of it and seek justice for you."

Sheng Yunrong nodded gently and asked, "Do you know Ling Meng and Zi Ying?"

Xiang Zhu nodded slightly: "They are maids in the mansion. They usually behave very strangely. I have noticed them before."

Sheng Yunrong's eyes were sharp and she said firmly, "I suspect that the two of them colluded with each other and tried to frame me. Do you know that Ziying intends to become Qin Fengyun's legal wife?"

Xiang Zhu's face changed slightly, and he said in surprise: "Madam, this...how is this possible? Ziying is just an ordinary maid in the mansion, how dare she have such ambitions?"

Sheng Yunrong sneered: "People's hearts are hard to predict. Sometimes even the people around them will betray you. Did you know that she had a secret conversation with Ling Meng in private? I suspect they had planned this in advance."

Xiang Zhu frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "Madam, I will secretly investigate this matter and make sure to get to the bottom of the truth."

Sheng Yunrong looked at Xiang Zhu, a trace of gratitude flashed in her eyes. She patted Xiang Zhu's hand gently and said, "I believe you, Xiang Zhu. This matter is of great importance, you must be careful."

Xiang Zhu nodded solemnly: "Madam, rest assured, I will act cautiously."

That day, Xiang Zhu secretly followed Ziying and found that she actually came to Qin Fengyun's study. Xiang Zhu hid in the dark and saw Ziying knock on the door gently, then slipped in.

Xiang Zhu's heart tightened, and she quietly approached the study, trying to hear the conversation inside. She only heard Ziying whispered: "Master, I have done that thing according to your instructions. Sheng Yunrong has doubted me, you have to be careful."

Qin Fengyun's voice came coldly: "It doesn't matter, she doubts it. As long as she has no evidence, we have nothing to fear. You continue to keep an eye on her and make sure she has a hard time in the mansion."

Ziying nodded and said, "Master, Sheng Yunrong is really cunning. I'm worried that she will continue to investigate. What should we do if she finds out the truth?"

Qin Fengyun sneered: "She can't find out, I have already arranged it. As long as she makes a move, someone will stop her. You just need to do your job well, and don't worry about other things."

Xiang Zhu felt a chill in her heart when she heard this. She didn't expect Qin Fengyun to be so vicious that he dared to attack her mother. She clenched her fists and decided to tell Sheng Yunrong about this.

After returning to Sheng Yunrong's room, Xiang Zhu told Sheng Yunrong everything he had heard. Sheng Yunrong's face turned even paler. She gently stroked Xiang Zhu's hair and said, "Xiang Zhu, you did a great job. This matter is of great importance. We cannot delay any longer and must act immediately."

Sheng Yunrong looked around the room, a hint of subtle vigilance in her eyes. She slowly stood up and walked towards the bleached sachet with firm steps.

Seeing this, Xiang Zhu followed her closely, his eyes full of confusion and concern.

"Madam, what are you doing..." Xiang Zhu asked softly, with a hint of trembling in his voice.

Sheng Yunrong did not answer, her eyes were fixed on the sachet. She stretched out her trembling right hand and slowly picked up the sachet, her eyes revealing a complex emotion of nostalgia, confusion, and anger.

"Xiang Zhu, do you still remember the day of my coming-of-age ceremony?" Sheng Yunrong's voice was low, as if she was talking to herself.

Xiang Zhu was slightly stunned, and recalled: "Madam, that was the most important day in your life, how could you forget it? On that day, your mother gave you this sachet personally. She said that this sachet could bless you with a safe life..."

Sheng Yunrong interrupted Xiang Zhu, her eyes filled with even more doubt: "But now I feel that this sachet is not simple."

Xiang Zhu looked at Sheng Yunrong in confusion, not understanding why she had such an idea. However, she knew Sheng Yunrong's intelligence and sharpness, and knew that she would not do anything without a purpose.

Sheng Yunrong tightly grasped the sachet, the anger in her eyes gradually burning. She turned to Xiang Zhu and said coldly: "Xiang Zhu, do you know what happened on my wedding night with Qin Wenyuan?"

Xiang Zhu's face changed and he nodded nervously: "Madam, that day you..."

Sheng Yunrong sneered and interrupted Xiang Zhu: "I took this sachet that day. If this sachet was poisoned, then the person who poisoned it must have done it before I married into the Qin Mansion."

Xiang Zhu looked at Sheng Yunrong in shock, unable to believe his ears.

If what Sheng Yunrong said was true, then Qin Wenyuan was the murderer who poisoned her... Her heart was filled with confusion and fear.

"Madam, this...how is this possible?" Xiang Zhu's voice trembled, she could not accept this fact.

Sheng Yunrong did not answer. Her eyes were as sharp as knives as she stared at the sachet, as if she wanted to see the truth from it.

She suddenly stood up and walked to the corner of the room where there was a small box.

"Xiang Zhu, bring it here." Sheng Yunrong's voice was cold.

Xiang Zhu hesitated for a moment, then slowly handed the box to Sheng Yunrong. Sheng Yunrong opened the box, and inside were some poison testing tools. She picked up one of the small bottles and gently dripped a drop on the sachet.

After a while, a faint smoke came out of the sachet, and a pungent smell filled the air. Sheng Yunrong's face turned pale, and she knew that the sachet was indeed poisoned.

Xiang Zhu watched this scene in horror. She couldn't believe that the master would do such a cruel thing to Sheng Yunrong.

Sheng Yunrong tightly grasped the sachet, the anger in her eyes almost erupting.

She turned to Xiang Zhu and said coldly, "Xiang Zhu, I want you to check this matter immediately. I want to know the truth no matter what."

Xiang Zhu hesitated for a moment, then nodded firmly: "Madam, I will do my best to find out the truth for you."

Sheng Yunrong nodded slightly, the anger in her eyes gradually dissipated, replaced by a firm determination.

This cruel truth must be faced, no matter what the consequences.
