No one expected that the poisoning incident involving Consort Yu would end up like this.
Was it stemming from the jealousy of a bodyguard?
Who would believe that if I told them?
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, no one would have believed it.
No, this is just too suspicious.
Even if it was Gu San who did it, how could he be so stupid as to admit it?
The most unbelievable person is probably the one who started this whole thing.
Yu Wan'er, as well as the two maids involved in the incident, were all extremely shocked.
Is Gu San, that troublemaker, out of his mind?
They risked their lives to take the blame upon themselves.
Did Yu Shuang save his life?
Even if Mu Yanzhou still couldn't believe it, he couldn't distort the truth and punish Yu Shuang under the watchful eyes of everyone.
I just don't know what methods this woman used to get her trusted subordinate to change her ways and take the blame for her.
Perhaps some kind of curse was cast.
In short, he will definitely not let this go and will investigate the matter thoroughly.
Mu Yanzhou punished Gu San in a perfunctory manner and, incidentally, sent someone to Daguo Temple to invite a high-ranking monk.
No one dared to question the prince's decision.
The servants, unaware of what was going on, had a burning desire for gossip in their eyes.
Gu San committed such a heinous crime, yet he was only punished with a few strokes of the cane?
Xiao Xi, the maid who was under his orders, was directly beaten to death.
It inevitably leads to all sorts of speculation.
Mu Yanzhou's voice was chillingly cold:
"If anyone dares to reveal even the slightest word of what happened today, I will have your entire family executed!"
The servants shuddered and readily agreed.
It concerns the reputation of the Prince's Mansion, so they would never dare to say anything reckless.
However, spies planted in the Prince's residence by other forces are a different story...
The conspiracy came to an end, and everyone went their separate ways.
Yu Shuang enjoyed the show for a while before leisurely accepting the plot.
The original owner, Yu Shuang, was a transmigrated woman with a built-in strategy system.
Upon arriving in this world, he was forcibly bound to Prince Ning, Mu Yanzhou.
This shoddy system doesn't offer any benefits; it just lets people rely on their own abilities to increase their favorability.
Once you reach 80% completion of the mission, you can leave this world and return to your original world.
If the strategy fails, the perpetrators will be eliminated.
The original owner was incredibly unlucky. He was living a perfectly good life in his original world when he was conscripted by this shady system. Not only did it not pay him, but it also constantly threatened his life.
In order to return home, the original owner had no choice but to take on the mission of conquering Prince Ning, Mu Yanzhou.
At that time, Prince Ning returned from the battlefield after narrowly escaping death, but was paralyzed in both legs and bedridden, with no cure available.
Anyone can see the sunset over the western mountains.
Before he set off on his campaign, he had obtained an imperial decree from the emperor to bestow upon him a marriage with the girl he desired, Yu Wan'er, the legitimate daughter of the Vice Minister of Revenue.
Now he has returned, barely clinging to life, and is to be married on the appointed day as ordered.
Yu Wan'er didn't want to marry a cripple, ruin her life, and spend her days in tears in front of her parents.
Even Vice Minister Yu couldn't bear to let his eldest daughter marry such a crippled prince.
The eldest daughter of the Yu family should naturally marry into a dangerous situation.
He then exploited a loophole in the imperial edict, transferring the original owner's unfavored illegitimate daughter to the madam's name, thus elevating her to the status of a legitimate daughter.
The original owner, a fake legitimate daughter, was married off to a disabled prince.
The original owner was worried about not being able to find a way to get close to the target of his conquest.
She cooperated perfectly and was sent to the Ning Prince's mansion as a substitute bride.
At that time, Prince Ning's situation could be described as hellish. He was paralyzed in bed and had no servants he could trust.
They were also targeted by treacherous servants sent by other forces.
No one cleaned his body or tended to his excrement; the whole room reeked.
After the original owner married into the family, she endured the disgust and cleaned up the dirty things for them.
What followed was three years of attentive care.
Her favorability rating was also rising rapidly.
However, after reaching a certain threshold, the favorability rating not only stopped increasing but started to decrease.
No matter how hard she tried to please him or how attentive she was to take care of him, it had no positive effect.
She was there for him through his darkest, most difficult, and most unspeakable time...
She knew all his embarrassing moments, his ugliest, helpless, and darkest side.
This is probably why the favorability rating has decreased instead of increased.
This man's dignity has been crushed by her.
That dark period was an insurmountable obstacle for this man.
His dignity gradually outweighed the favors he had bestowed.
And as time goes on, the gap between them will only widen.
The original owner tried to distance himself from them and have servants take care of him.
However, it backfired.
Mu Yanzhou flew into a rage and sternly questioned:
"You wretch! You were faking it all along, weren't you?! I thought you were different from them, but it turns out you also despise me for being a cripple! You even let the other servants humiliate me. You betrayed your master, I will definitely kill you! Kill you!... Ah..."
His eyes were bloodshot, filled with grief, anger, and resentment, as if they were about to spew flames.
No matter how the original owner explained it, this man, whose personality had become twisted and volatile due to years of being bedridden, was more willing to believe his own imagination.
This is probably his outlet for protecting his dignity.
The original owner had worked as someone's unpaid caregiver for three years, and had long since developed the habit of being their punching bag.
She had no choice but to swallow her anger and continue to take care of him as always.
To prevent muscle atrophy, he was massaged every day.
However, the favorability rating fluctuates repeatedly between increasing and decreasing.
The original owner also felt helpless.
Soon, things took a turn for the better.
This man's loyal subordinate also survived by the skin of his teeth and returned.
