Shen Wan got out of bed, and Zi Yu helped her change her clothes, do her makeup, and serve her tea and water. She changed her lazy image and became diligent.
Shen Wan sat on the small couch drinking tea when Zi Yu noticed a bottle of medicine on the window. Finally seizing the opportunity, she said, "Yin Shuang is too careless. She just left the medicine on the window like that."
After Shen Wan returned to the manor, only Zi Yu and Yin Shuang went into the inner room. Since the medicine on the window was not placed by Zi Yu, she concluded that it was Yin Shuang.
Ziyu was about to take the ointment away to put it away when Chen Wan said, "Give me the medicine."
Ziyu walked over and handed the ointment to Shenwan.
Shen Wan was certain that this was not her ointment. Xie Jingyan was wary of the Prince of Jin and had people protecting her, so it was impossible for anyone else to deliver the medicine. It could only be him, and only he knew that she had injured her back. Even Yin Shuang did not know.
However, Xie Jingyan was not so considerate. Although they were using each other, she had not helped him at all. On the contrary, because of her, Xie Jingyan and Xie Jingyin's relationship had deteriorated further.
Looking at the exquisite porcelain vase in her hand, Chen Wan felt a warm glow in her heart.
Mother Zhou needed to speak with Ziyu, so Ziyu went out. Yinshuang came into the room with red eyes, clearly having been crying.
Upon seeing this, Shen Wan said, "You're crying over such a small thing?"
Yinshuang didn't speak, she just shook her head.
Shen Wan said, "Alright, don't be sad. I know in my heart who is loyal and who is treacherous between you and Ziyu. I won't let her stay in Qinglan Garden for long."
Ziyu, like Wu Mama, was given to her by the old lady. Without a valid reason, there was no way to deal with Ziyu.
Moreover, she had just dealt with Wu Mama and then sold Ziyu one after another, which would definitely arouse the old lady's suspicion. What she wanted was to clean up Qinglan Garden, not to drive away one group and then send in another.
Upon hearing Shen Wan's words, Yin Shuang understood what was going on and said, "Just now, a maid from the Second Madam's courtyard came by and gave a tassel to Xing'er, one of the maids in the courtyard. After that maid left, Zi Yu also went out."
Shen Wan then said, "When Ziyu returns, find someone trustworthy to keep an eye on her."
Silver Frost nodded and noted it down.
Shen Wan handed the ointment to Yin Shuang and said, "Apply this medicine to me."
Her back was still a little sore, and it would have gotten better in a couple of days without any medicine, but since Xie Jingyan had sent someone to deliver the ointment to her, she didn't want to let his kindness go to waste.
Yinshuang exclaimed, "Ah! Where are you injured, young lady?"
Shen Wan removed her clothes behind the screen, and Yin Shuang noticed a bruise on her back near her shoulder. She knew it was Prince Jin who had done it, and Yin Shuang cursed Prince Jin several times in her heart.
After applying the medicine, Shen Wan put her dress back on, drank half a cup of tea, and read a book she hadn't finished reading on the small couch to pass the time.
Just as she was enjoying the performance, a young maidservant entered through the beaded curtain and beckoned to Yinshuang. Yinshuang went out and then returned to say, "Miss, Ziyu has added something to your bird's nest soup."
No wonder the girl said Ziyu was treacherous and that someone should be sent to keep an eye on her; she actually dared to poison the girl.
A murderous glint flashed in Shen Wan's eyes. In her past life, she had always gone along with their wishes, and the incident of Zi Yu poisoning her had not occurred. She abandoned Prince Jin and chose Prince Ling, going against their wishes and even breaking their agreement with Prince Jin. They secretly tripped her up. Without a doubt, all these things they did were to push her toward Prince Jin.
Ziyu brought in bird's nest soup and said, "The kitchen has cooked bird's nest soup for you, Miss. It's good for your skin."
Shen Wan casually flipped through a book, glanced at the bird's nest soup placed in front of her, and said, "I don't want to eat it, you can have it."
Ziyu was taken aback for a moment, then quickly said, "This is bird's nest soup made for the young lady. How could a servant like me be worthy of eating it?"
Shen Wan looked at her, "Have I never treated you to bird's nest soup before?"
She didn't like eating bird's nest soup, but she would eat it every other day for the sake of her skin. If she really didn't want to eat it, she would give it to her maid. Ziyu and Yinshuang had both eaten it.
Ziyu then said, "Let's give it to Yinshuang instead."
Shen Wan slammed the book on the table impatiently. "You were arguing so fiercely just now, but now you're all being polite. You can eat this time, and I'll reward you with silver frost next time."
When Shen Wan said that, Zi Yu knew she had no choice but to eat.
She slowly reached out, picked up the bird's nest soup, and said, "Then this servant will take it down to eat..."
Yinshuang said, "Take it down to eat. Do you want others to see it and it to reach the old lady's ears, causing the young lady to be scolded?"
Ziyu wished she could tear Yinshuang's mouth apart; if she didn't speak, no one would think she was mute.
Shen Wan was certain that Zi Yu wouldn't dare eat the bird's nest soup, but to her surprise, Zi Yu ate it in the end, finishing the whole bowl.
It is clear that the ingredients added to bird's nest soup are not fatal.
After Ziyu withdrew, Shen Wan got off the small couch and went to the window to find Xie Jingyan's bodyguard. Shen Wan whispered, "I need your help with something."
Chen Yu leaped to the window and stopped.
Shen Wan said, "Could you help me find out what kind of medicine Ziyu gave me?"
"yes."
Shen Wan thought there would be no news until at least tomorrow, but in the evening, just after Shen Wan had dinner, there was a knock on the window. Chen Yu reported to Shen Wan, "I poured some of that powder and had a doctor check it. It's a limp bone powder. It's not fatal, but if you take small amounts frequently, it will make you weak and unable to get out of bed."
The old lady and the second wife were counting on her to marry Prince Jin so that her father could help Prince Jin seize the throne. Before Prince Jin had made his plans, he certainly wouldn't dare to take her life, but why give her a bone-softening powder? What was he trying to do?
Shen Wan was at a loss for words, but even if it wasn't fatal, she didn't dare to be careless. She gave Chen Yu a few instructions, and then Chen Yu left.
...
In the early morning, sunlight streamed through the window and into the room, scattering golden light across the floor.
After Shen Wan woke up, she sat down in front of the dressing table and let Zi Yu do her hair and makeup. She wore a gold-embroidered orchid cloud brocade dress and a set of white magnolia hairpins, which added to her elegance.
