At this time, Su Wanti lowered her head and looked gentle and filial, just like before.
Nanny Li and the others became dazed, as if everything they had just seen was an illusion.
However, the dark brown liquid at the corner of Liu's mouth and the wet front of her clothes told them that what they had just seen was not an illusion.
It is a true story that the young lady forced the lady's mouth open and forced the tonic into her mouth.
With the help of Nanny Li, Liu finally stopped coughing.
She was already resentful towards Su Wanti, and after this ordeal, she tore off her kind mask, her face flushed red, and she stood up abruptly, glaring at Su Wanti.
Su Wanti, however, looked innocent, with clear eyes that revealed simplicity and confusion.
She even used her handkerchief to wipe the corners of Liu's mouth, "Mother-in-law, why are you unhappy? Don't you like the tonic?"
Liu's face turned the color of liver, and her teeth were chattering with hatred. She wanted to make Su Wanti kneel in the ancestral hall and apologize to the ancestors of the He family!
Su Wanti smiled leisurely, stroked the purple mark on her neck, and said to Liu with an understanding look, "Mother-in-law is worried about my husband!"
Liu's eyebrows twitched.
Su Wanti leaned close to Liu's ear and whispered:
"Thanks to your good plan and your careful dressing, the Regent is very fond of his daughter-in-law. He said he would save her husband. Soon, our family will be reunited."
"Then I will personally take my husband to thank the Regent for saving his life. Perhaps the Regent will give my husband a promotion for my sake."
After saying that, Su Wanti looked at Liu and chuckled. Her smile was calm and composed, but it made Liu shudder.
Their family planned to send Su Wanti to the Regent's bed because she was beautiful, had no support from her family, and had a gentle and easy-to-control personality.
Looking at her words and actions now, I feel like something is wrong.
Liu calmed herself down and told herself that her son's life was still in the hands of the Regent, and she needed Su Wanti to ask for help.
You must be extremely tolerant of Su Wanti and not provoke her.
Once her son's crisis is resolved and he returns to Beijing safely, Su Wanti will be useless. Let's see how she deals with this little bitch!
Liu forced a smile. "This tonic is for you. Since you're so filial, I won't refuse. I'll drink this bowl slowly when I get home. I'll send Nanny Li over with another bowl later. You have to drink it while it's hot. It's more effective when you drink it hot."
She also patted Su Wanti's hand affectionately.
Su Wanti smiled faintly, calmly withdrew her hand, and wiped the place where Liu had held her hand with a silk handkerchief.
Liu took Nanny Li away in a hurry, not even daring to look back.
Su Wanti smiled faintly as she watched the two people leaving. The smile on her face grew wider and wider until she burst into wild laughter.
She thought back to what she had just said.
"The Prince Regent really likes his daughter-in-law!"
"I will personally take my husband to thank the Regent for saving my life..."
…
She has been observing etiquette and being gentle and virtuous for nineteen years. How could such words come out of her mouth?
In the end, she was laughing so hard that tears were coming out.
Feeling desolate in her heart, she slowly stopped smiling, wiped away her tears, and her eyes gradually became sharp.
She remembered clearly who had caused her to sacrifice her life, and she wanted to make these people pay the price; no one of them could escape.
Last night, she told the Regent the contents of He Anping's letter in full. It seems that the Regent has been deeply impressed by He Anping.
It's difficult for He Anping to become a prince consort.
By the way, she is not dead. After He Anping returns to Beijing, he will find a way to divorce her.
Su Wanti was not afraid that he would divorce her. She would leave the He Mansion sooner or later, but she had very little money now and she had to make plans for the future.
"Suyun, go get me the account books of the eighteen shops in the capital."
A year after marrying into the He family, she was in charge of four shops in the He family, and there were fourteen shops that her mother had allocated to her before leaving home.
She now manages a total of 18 shops.
In the past, the money in her hands was either used to subsidize the He family or taken away by the Su family's father and son. From now on, she would keep the money firmly in her own hands.
She has lost her innocence, her dignity, and all her emotions. She has to hold on to something to have the will to live.
That is money.
From now on, whoever wants her money will want her life!
Suyun has been with her for three years and is quite obedient.
She agreed and turned around to do it.
Su Wanti sat down and took a rest.
As soon as I took a break, the soreness in my body came back instantly.
She was exhausted after having barely slept the night before.
She turned and went into the bedroom, lying on the embroidered bed for a nap.
But for some reason, I always can't sleep well. When I close my eyes, everything that happened last night comes to mind.
His words are still ringing in my ears.
"Without any skills...how can you serve me?"
"You don't put in any effort..."
Thinking of this, Su Wanti's face suddenly turned red. She opened her eyes and waved to call the maid Chun Xing.
Chun Xing was a little beggar she picked up on the street two years ago.
Chun Xing is young, has no parents, and has no one to rely on. She is lively and cheerful, loyal, and a trustworthy person.
Su Wanti leaned close to Chun Xing's ear and whispered, "Go find a bookstore and buy me a set of pornographic pictures. If there are any banned books, buy them as well."
"Young Madam, what is a forbidden book?"
Su Wanti rolled her eyes, got out of bed, found some pen and ink, wrote a note, and solemnly handed it to Chun Xing, "Find a time when no one is around, secretly show this note to the boss, and ask him if he has any books on this subject."
Chun Xing knew this was a secret that couldn't be made public. She carefully put the note into her chest and said, "Don't worry, Madam. I can buy you what you want even if I have to dig three feet into the ground."
