Chapter 40 The Most Poisonous Man's Heart
"Cherry, tell Feng Zhu to come see me if he has time today."
"Yes, Miss, I'll go right away."
"Be careful, don't get discovered!"
"Don't worry, Miss, I know."
She thought it was better not to sit and wait for death, but to take the initiative and arrange for the mother and daughter to meet as soon as possible. If Su Meixian was still conscious, she would tell Yun Wei what happened in the Prime Minister's Mansion before she came back, and remind Yun Wei to pay attention to her.
This will deepen Yun Wei's dislike for her, so she should take action against her immediately...
Tsk tsk~ Listen to her, why is she so shameless, why is she so eager to be calculated...
…
At noon, Yunli had lunch. The sun shone on her body, making her feel warm. The weather was not very hot, so the sun was not glaring. She asked Baizhi to move the lounge chair to the osmanthus tree in the yard. The smell of flowers and plants in the yard was the breath of spring. The chirping of insects and birds made her feel calm and was the best sound to help her sleep.
Take out the eye mask from the space, put it on, close your eyes and take a nap
Bai Zhi saw that her daughter had fallen asleep, so she went into the room and took out a thin blanket to cover her gently.
I'm a little confused. The young lady's appetite has suddenly increased a lot recently. It's surprisingly good. She eats four meals a day and occasionally has some snacks. Now she's even a little sleepy. She doesn't usually have the habit of taking a nap...
Forget it, maybe she was overthinking it. The lady should be fine. After all, her medical skills are much better than hers.
Yingtao came back from outside and saw Baizhi put her finger on her mouth, signaling her not to speak.
When she got closer, she saw that it was her young lady who had fallen asleep. She went to tell Feng Zhu about her worries, but Feng Zhu was about to be sent out by the Prime Minister to do something. Feng Zhu said that if the young lady was free today, they could meet at Yipinxuan Teahouse on the street before dinner. He also happened to have something to say to the young lady. He also said that there were many eyes and ears in the Prime Minister's Mansion now. After the incident with his wife, the Prime Minister had reshuffled the mansion and many people had been replaced. Now the courtyards were full of the Prime Minister's people. In order not to be exposed, he tried not to come to Wutong Courtyard.
Should she wake up the lady?
Bai Zhi whispered to Yingtao: "Wait a while, the young lady just fell asleep, let her sleep for an hour, it's not a particularly urgent matter, it won't take a while."
After about an hour, seeing that Yunli had not woken up yet, Baizhi woke her up, fearing that she would not be able to sleep at night if she took too much nap.
"Miss, wake up, Miss, wake up"
"Hmm~ What time is it?"
Yun Li still closed her eyes and asked softly
"Miss, you slept for an hour. It's about three quarters past noon now. Yingtao has brought a message back to Feng Zhu."
Yun Li asked: "When will Feng Zhu come?"
"Feng Zhu said that the Prime Minister sent him out on some business and he's not at the mansion today. Furthermore, the Prime Minister has replaced people in all the courtyards in the mansion. To be on the safe side, he said he'd meet the young lady at a teahouse outside today."
Yunli opened her eyes and said, "Oh? Where? When?"!
"He said if you're free today, let's meet at Yipinxuan Teahouse before dinner. He also has something to discuss with you."
"Well, then change my clothes, pack up and let's go out! Strawberry doesn't have to make dinner, let's eat outside!"
"Yes, Miss."
Yunli came to Yipinxuan Tea House and asked for a private room. She came early and asked Yingtao to wait for Feng Zhu outside.
She ordered a pot of tea and a few plates of snacks, then sat down by the window. She was lost in thought, wondering how she could get the mother and daughter to meet. Pengxian Pavilion was now surrounded by her father's guards, and was under strict surveillance. Not even a fly could get in.
If I use medicine, I have to knock everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion down, which is a bit unrealistic...
If they only took down the guards of Pengxian Pavilion, they would be discovered quickly. After the embarrassing incident with the mother and daughter last time, the guards patrolling the Prime Minister's Mansion at night also lined up several teams...
Bai Zhi: "Miss, Feng Zhu is already downstairs!"
"Well, just bring him in, you guys stand guard at the door."
"yes!"
"Miss, I'm late for a while, please forgive me."
"It's okay, sit down, I just got here."
Yunli poured him a cup of tea
"What are you doing out of the house today?"
Feng Zhu looked around and whispered, "Today, I am ordered by the Prime Minister to go to the dilapidated temple in the west of the city to select beggars! The beggars in the east of the city have all been killed by the Prime Minister's order... The west of the city is far away in the suburbs, so it is reasonable for me to come back tomorrow, so I asked the young lady to meet outside."
The corners of Yun Li's mouth twitched. Her scumbag father was truly cruel. It had been so long since the incident, and he had already taken revenge, but he still wasn't satisfied. Was he going to let Su Meixian feast on all the beggars in the city...?
Thinking of this, Yun Li shuddered. It was indeed true that men had the most vicious hearts...
"Cherry said you had something to tell me too. What was it?"
"Miss, I suspect your wife may be suffering from an infectious disease!"
Yun Li was shocked for a moment, then her expression returned to normal: "Suspect? How do you doubt?"
"I accidentally discovered that the lady had an affair with one of the guards who was guarding her. Moreover, the Prime Minister has never set foot in Pengxian Pavilion during this period. I also follow the orders of the Prime Minister and Housekeeper Li to bring beggars back every three days and send them to the lady's yard. Then, the guards will throw the beggars into the lady's room.
"My subordinates have noticed that the beggars that were brought in in the past all had scratches of varying depths on their bodies when they were carried out. Those who died were all killed by having their throats slit and thrown into mass graves. However, the beggars that were brought in in recent days have no scratches on their bodies when they were carried out. Apart from having their throats slit, their genitals were also cut off. Their deaths were horrific."
"Then how did you find out she was having an affair with the guard?"
"A few days ago, the maid from the kitchen suddenly had a stomachache on the way to Pengxian Pavilion. I happened to be passing by and helped her deliver the meal to Pengxian Pavilion. At that time, lunch time happened to be the time when the guards changed shifts. Usually, the meal was handed to the guards at the gate of the dining courtyard, and then the guards took it inside.
But that day there was only one guard at the gate, so he asked his men to bring the food in directly.
When I entered the courtyard, a guard from Madam's room was coming out, holding up his trousers. I quickly lowered my head. The guard told me to put the food at the door. I glanced into the room. Madam and her maid Cui'er were lying on the bed in disheveled clothes. There was also an unpleasant smell in the room...
Later, the subordinates secretly inquired about the guard and learned that his name was Wang Fang. He often went to the brothel during his days off and was a frequent customer of a girl named Yingying. Because the girl had syphilis, her price was low.
"So you're saying that Wang Fang was infected with syphilis by Yingying, and he then passed it on to Su Meixian?"
Feng Zhu nodded: "This is just my guess. Wang Fang probably doesn't know that he has been infected with syphilis. After Miss Yingying became ill, many customers stayed away from her. If Wang Fang knew he was ill, he wouldn't have gone to see Miss Yingying again. But he still went to the brothel and always ordered Miss Yingying."
Yun Li raised the corner of her lips and looked at Feng Zhu with satisfaction and admiration. She didn't expect that he was so thoughtful and had investigated so many things in private.
