As soon as Xu Ying left, Tu Qingyu asked someone to take the things she sent to a special person for inspection.
The talented people around her had already found out everything in less than an hour.
Everything Xu Ying sent over had been soaked in medicine. This medicine, in severe cases, would gradually erode a person's internal organs over time, eventually leading to serious illness.
At the very least, it can make people sick and weak, making it difficult to conceive.
Even if you don't use it much, you can live longer, but you won't live a good life.
"Master, what do you want to do?" Tu Shi, who was guarding her, asked, "Do you want to return it?"
"No need, you go down first, I have my own plans."
"yes."
When Pei Jian came back, he saw his little Jiaojiao wiping tears.
Although there was not a single tear in the sobbing, it looked a little fake.
But her pretending to wipe away her tears still made his heart twitch.
"What's wrong?" He walked over, hugged her, and gently patted her back.
The peripheral vision caught sight of something not far away. "This is..."
"Tu Shi, you speak."
As soon as Tu Qingyu finished speaking, Tu Shi suddenly appeared in front of them.
Her action was equivalent to clearly revealing her cards to Pei Jian.
Pei Jian had known for a while that there was such a group of people around Tu Qingyu, but this was the first time he saw them.
He knelt on one knee and said, "Your Excellency, these things were sent by the eldest lady in the mansion a while ago. They have been tested and soaked in medicine. If the young lady uses them, she will be weakened at best and die at worst."
Before he even finished speaking, Pei Jian's face had already darkened.
His hand continued to pat Tu Qingyu's back, but his eyes never left the things on the table.
There was now a distinct coldness in his eyes, which had always been indifferent.
Tu Qingyu seemed unable to feel the cold. She wrapped her arms around Pei Jian's waist and buried her face in his arms.
"Ajian~ She's going to hurt me again, I'm so scared~"
She spoke tenderly, with obvious crying in her voice.
Pei Jian's heart tightened, thinking that she was really crying, and he quickly lowered his head to check.
Fortunately, the little girl just made a lot of noise without causing any consequences.
But he still comforted her gently, "It's okay, I'm here."
"Hmm." Tu Qingyu looked up at him eagerly, "So, what do you think we should do about this?"
Pei Jian raised his eyebrows, then slowly said, "Give someone a taste of their own medicine?"
She nodded, "Okay, okay."
So that night, all the jewelry, dishes, and cloths that Xu Ying used on a daily basis in the East Courtyard were soaked in the same potion.
This potion usually takes two to three months to take effect.
But Pei Jian has many capable people under his command, and even if he only soaks for one night, the effect will be better than what they would get after two or three months.
No one knew that the bowl Xu Ying used the next day had been soaked in medicine.
Even the jewelry she wore today happened to be poisonous.
When she came to pay her respects, Tu Qingyu nodded with satisfaction.
"Is mother okay today?" Xu Ying glanced at Tu Qingyu before paying her respects, and was a little disappointed to see that Tu Qingyu was not wearing the headdress she had given her.
But it’s normal. If I had known this, Tu Qingyu would not wear it easily.
It’s okay, she can keep sending gifts, there will always be something she likes.
"Okay, okay, you're thoughtful. Get up."
For some reason, after so many days, Xu Ying has become somewhat accustomed to being bullied by Tu Qingyu.
When the other party occasionally showed a little kindness, she actually felt a little relieved.
"Okay, that's all for today. I've made plans with some friends to go out, so go do your own thing."
The weather is finally getting a little cooler, so I want to go out for a walk.
And there might be a big show to watch today.
Xu Ying bowed obediently, "Daughter-in-law, take your leave."
In fact, she had made an appointment with Zhou Baozhu and Yu Qi. During this period, their family was also preparing for the wedding.
In fact, they had been engaged for a long time, but it took a little longer to prepare for the wedding.
In the theater, people were singing on the stage, and Yu Qi was chattering in the audience.
"Qingyu, it's going to be a good day for Jingyuan in a few days, are you coming?"
"I won't go."
Let the young couple have a wonderful wedding memory and don’t let anything unexpected happen on that day.
"Are you really not going? You don't know how depressed Jing Yuan has been recently. I feel like he's lost all his energy and spirit."
Tu Qingyu: "Is it that serious?"
Zhou Baozhu: "Isn't he newly married? Why is he so depressed?"
Yu Qi glanced at her and sighed softly, "You don't understand."
"Why don't I understand?" Zhou Baozhu frowned. "Isn't it just that the Princess went to the Tu family to ask for her hand in marriage? But this is Qingyu, the one the Princess has her eyes on. What does that have to do with Jingyuan?"
Yu Qi glanced at her and shook his head lightly, "You don't understand."
"Huh?" Zhou Baozhu was puzzled. "Why don't I understand? How can I understand if you don't explain it to me?"
Tu Qingyu propped up his head and looked down at the latest opera troupes and the most popular plays that had emerged in the capital recently.
Yu Qi: "Speaking of which, this opera troupe seems to have come from the south, and the play they brought is also new. To be honest, the beginning looks pretty good, but the end is a bit strange."
Zhou Baozhu: "Yeah, what about Mu Guiying taking command and Liang Hongyu beating the drum to resist the Jin Dynasty? The first part about these two women is fine, but the latter part feels a bit weird to me. But compared to the other scholar ladies, it is much more novel."
Yu Qi: "In fact, there are many such powerful women in history, but there are only a few records in history books, or there are no records at all, so we don't know about them."
"Is it really okay?" Tu Qingyu responded calmly, but his eyes were fixed on a woman standing next to the stage downstairs. "Will these women, who were once strong and resolute, really give up everything for a man?"
What kind of plot is this adapted from a top-notch love story? Mu Guiying finally blocked the knife for her husband and got injured. Then she returned to the backyard, took care of her husband and children, and became a famous lady in the capital.
Liang Hongyu beat the drum to resist the Jin people because the Jin people killed her beloved. While resisting the Jin people, she also had a touching story with the Jin generals.
The play tells the story of her love-hate relationship with the Jin people during the time she was undercover, and how she did not end up with the Jin general.
However, Liang Hongyu eventually became entangled with a man, and ultimately died at the hands of a Jin general in order to save a man.
After her death, the Jin generals regretted their actions. In the end, because of her death, the two countries ceased fighting and the world gained a brief peace.
What the hell is this!
Tu Qingyu felt unlucky for both Mu Guiying and Liang Hongyu.
Yu Qi: "Based on their previous behavior, what happened later was indeed irrational in many ways, but..."
Zhou Baozhu: "But women will eventually get married, so it's not too strange."
When they said this, their eyes followed Tu Qingyu's gaze and looked downstairs.
"Hey, isn't that Pei Kangsheng?"
