Su Xiangling continued, "The one who pushed Dr. Zhou off the cliff was my eldest sister, Su Qingyu."
"Four years ago, my eldest sister took Feicui to visit relatives in Qianzhou. Later, she caught a cold, so I took Feicui to the little miracle doctor to ask for medicine."
"I didn't expect my elder sister to boast that she was a daughter of a marquis, so she wanted to ask the young doctor to come to her home for treatment. I repeatedly explained that the young doctor only saw patients and did not provide home visits. But she spoke harshly, saying that our Qianzhou is poor and remote, and these unruly people were not even attentive to her treatment."
Seeing that Mr. Zhou's face was indeed getting more and more gloomy, Su Xiangling also had a clue in her mind.
"I thought she was just throwing a tantrum and it would be over. But I didn't expect that she would go on an outing in the mountains with her maid and meet the young doctor. I don't know how they ended up having a conflict."
"The maidservant beside my eldest sister knows martial arts. I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but she pushed the young doctor down."
"I only found out about this by accident a long time later. But because my eldest sister is my blood relative, I never dared to tell anyone."
After that, she asked Mr. Zhou, "Sir, may I ask if Dr. Xiaoshen left any message before he left?"
Mr. Zhou's eyes reddened slightly when he thought of his daughter.
"She didn't say anything else, just that she was a young lady from the capital. She also said that the young lady had a maidservant with a red mole on her wrist."
Su Xiangling's expression darkened slightly when she heard this. "That's right, my eldest sister went to the capital. If I remember correctly, there happened to be a red mole on the wrist of the jadeite next to her."
Mr. Zhou kept silent with a sullen face, and gave Su Xiangling a meaningful look.
Su Xiangling couldn't figure out what Mr. Zhou was thinking, so she could only continue, "Come to think of it, this is also my fault. If I hadn't gone to the little genius doctor to ask for medicine for my elder sister, I wouldn't have ended up like this."
Mr. Zhou sighed suddenly and finally spoke.
"You can't blame the Concubine for this. You don't know what will happen next."
"I know about this matter. Thank you, Concubine, for telling me."
Su Xiangling was stunned. Why didn't Mr. Zhou have any intention of revenge?
She had laid all the groundwork that needed to be laid. If Mr. Zhou had no intention of seeking revenge, wouldn't all her efforts have been in vain?
Moreover, that deceiving Taoist priest is still in Su Qingyu's hands. What should she do if Mr. Zhou takes ten days or half a month to think about it?
Seeing that Mr. Zhou was about to get up and leave, Su Xiangling hurriedly asked.
"Mr. Zhou, don't you want to avenge your daughter? The young doctor and I hit it off right away. If you need anything, I can help."
Mr. Zhou shook his head and said, "It's easy for Concubine Consort to say, but revenge is not that easy. You and I both know the other party's identity. I have rashly touched the person dear to the Third Master, so now it's time for me to go and accompany my daughter."
Su Xiangling saw that Mr. Zhou was wary of Shen Zhixiu, but she didn't think it was wrong. Given Shen Zhixiu's current status, Mr. Zhou would have to think twice before making a move on Su Qingyu.
But she still didn't understand. Mr. Zhou was the best poison master in the world. It would be easy for him to get rid of Su Qingyu without leaving any trace.
As if he could see what she was thinking, Mr. Zhou explained, "If the Third Madam died of poisoning in the Shen family, the Third Master would definitely investigate thoroughly."
"Do you think, with his all-powerful abilities, he won't be able to find out the cause of my daughter's death? How could he not suspect me? Even if I run back to Southern Xinjiang, I won't be able to escape his revenge."
Su Xiangling's heart sank, and she had to admit that Mr. Zhou was right.
The youngest cabinet minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and now the most important minister to the Emperor. How could such a person not have some tricks?
"So, sir, is that all you're going to do?"
Afraid that Mr. Zhou would think she was too egocentric, she smiled faintly and said, "If you can swallow this anger, then I naturally won't say anything."
A vein popped up on Mr. Zhou's forehead. "Of course, I can't swallow this."
Su Xiangling took the opportunity to ask, "Sir, if you have any ideas, please share them with me. I can also help you with some advice."
Mr. Zhou pondered for a moment and said, "I have a medicine in my hand. After a person takes it, they will die in a few breaths. A doctor or coroner will only think it is a sudden heart attack."
"But I don't want to take action in the Shen family, for fear that Third Master Shen will notice something. It's best to take action when there are many people around. It would be even better if Concubine Su is here too, so that I can have a helper."
Without waiting for Su Xiangling to speak, Mr. Zhou continued, "If Concubine Su really helps me avenge my daughter's murder, I will obey Concubine Su's orders for the rest of my life."
Su Xiangling was overjoyed. It was as if her wish had come true. As expected, she was born with the Phoenix destiny, which was why God favored her so much.
I was thinking about what Mr. Zhou said about holding a palace banquet on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month in two days when there are many people.
"Let's put it this way. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the virtuous concubine will hold a palace banquet, and Su Qingyu will definitely go."
"I will talk to the Empress when the time comes, and ask the Master to come and take a look at the fetus for me."
"Sir, take this opportunity to enter the palace. If we work together, nothing will go wrong."
Mr. Zhou thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty's idea is a good one. It will not only be inconspicuous, but also easy to accomplish."
The two of them immediately agreed that after entering the palace, Su Xiangling's people would lead Su Qingyu out, and Mr. Zhou would be responsible for giving her the drugs.
Su Xiangling had achieved her goal for the day, so she decided not to linger any longer and planned to go back home to visit her grandmother and parents.
As soon as she left, Su Qingyu came out of the private room next to her and entered the private room where Mr. Zhou was.
When Su Qingyu entered, Mr. Zhou was drinking tea calmly, with no emotion on his face.
"I heard everything Sir and Concubine Su said just now. It was exactly the same as what I said before. She was afraid that you would not seek revenge."
