Chapter 55 The Contract: The Struggle for Power (Part 1)



And in the end? Liu Yao'er wiped out the Bai family!

In this life, she ultimately could not escape Liu Yao'er.

She has sent Rong Momo and Jiu'er to the pharmacy to investigate whether the Bai and Zuo families had purchased any harmful drugs, hoping to find the real culprit and prove their innocence.

If the person who poisoned her cannot be found, she cannot be unjustly accused!

Thinking of this, she became furious and stood up in anger.

Cuiwei and Cuizhu quickly grabbed her arms and dissuaded her, saying, "Miss, before you left, Madam specifically instructed you that after you leave the Mu family, you must obey Madam Bai's teachings and never offend Madam Bai."

"Young lady, please be patient for now. Once the general returns, we can leave the Bai family."

She was frantic with worry. She backed away from Cuiwei and Cuizhu, pulled out a fire needle and held it to her neck, threatening to kill herself. "Cuiwei and Cuizhu, do you know that Liu Yao'er bought me as a flower thief in the Zuo family? She is ruthless and wants to kill me. I'm afraid I'll be killed by her before the general returns. Get out of my way!"

The three of them headed straight for Liu Yao'er's peony garden.

Shen Yu shouted: "General! You know I would not poison Liu Yao'er's soup, so why are you framing me?"

You allow Liu Yao'er to slander me, just for her own pleasure, without fearing that I will harbor resentment and sow the seeds of future trouble.

General! You are wise and decisive on the battlefield, so why are you so muddle-headed at home, always so biased and causing trouble...?

"What's all this noise in the middle of the night? Hurry up and drive them away, they're disturbing the general's peaceful sleep." Liu Yao'er came out wearing a cloak, pretending to yawn as she ordered the guards to drive away Chen Yu, but she didn't dare to look Chen Yu in the eye.

In fact, she had already found out that the person who poisoned her soup was Hua Zheng. Hua Zheng was just a maid, and it wouldn't be too late to deal with her later. First, she would frame Shen Yu for plotting to harm the Bai family's offspring. This would not only allow her to seize the power of the steward, but also make Madam Bai dislike Shen Yu.

Seeing the guards approach, Chen Yu signaled Cui Wei to take action. Cui Wei was agile and quickly defeated more than a dozen guards.

Seeing Shen Yu approaching, Liu Yao'er turned to go back to her room, but Shen Yu beat her to it and went inside first.

Shen Yu sat facing the door, waiting for the general to wake up and give her justice and the power to manage the household. Seeing Liu Yao'er standing in front of her, shrinking back and feigning innocence, she couldn't help but question, "Liu Yao'er, your act of crying 'stop thief' is just a ploy to seize the power to manage the household and murder me, isn't it?"

Liu Yao'er shook her head repeatedly, feigning fear, and backed away, "No..."

"Mu Chenyu, what do you want to do!" Madam Bai shouted, rushing over to block Liu Yao'er, fearing that Chenyu would harm Liu Yao'er and the baby in her womb.

"Ha!" Shen Yu leaned back in her chair and smiled helplessly. Before she could explain, Madam Mu ordered, "Mu Chen Yu is suspected of harming the Bai family's offspring. Guards, lock her in the Netherworld Pavilion. She shall not be released without my order!"
