"What's wrong, ma'am?"
"It seems like diarrhea..."
"Didn't Wang San just come out of the lady's room?"
Liu listened to the discussion, feeling ashamed and angry, and her abdominal pain became more and more severe. She was carried to the room by two maids. When she passed by Shen Weiwan, she suddenly turned around and roared: "Shen Weiwan! What I can't have, no one else can have!"
Shen Weiwan looked at her twisted face, a sneer on her lips. What she couldn't get? Everything she lost in her previous life, she would take back with her own hands in this life.
"Miss," Chun Tao looked at Liu's back, "Isn't Liu going to behave herself now?"
"Honest?" Shen Weiwan picked up half a locust flower cake on the table, "She will only get crazier." She turned to the old housekeeper, "Go check Wang San's account and see how much benefit he got from Liu."
As soon as the old housekeeper left, the sound of horse hooves could be heard outside the courtyard. Chun Tao lifted the curtain and looked, surprised, "Miss, the Seventh Prince is here!"
Shen Weiwan straightened her clothes and walked into the courtyard. Xiao Yu dismounted, his dark skirt sweeping across the moss on the stone steps. "I heard someone wanted to poison you?"
"I'm sorry to have laughed at you, Your Highness," Shen Weiwan bowed, "it's just that my family is not at peace."
Xiao Yu raised an eyebrow, fished out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve pocket and tossed it to her: "I was passing by the Imperial Hospital and picked up some antidiarrheal medicine. Send it to Liu. Don't let her die from diarrhea. We haven't settled the bill yet."
Shen Weiwan took the porcelain bottle and felt the coolness of the bottle: "Thank you, Your Highness."
"Thanks are unnecessary," Xiao Yu looked at the hairpin in her hair, "but I want to know, how do you know there's something wrong with Wang San?"
"When he collected his monthly allowance yesterday, his eyes looked like a rat stealing oil." Chen Weiwan smiled, "And..." She took a step closer and lowered her voice, "I know that the Nanzhu that my aunt hid under the bed was replaced with a bag of laxatives."
Xiao Yu chuckled softly, tapping his fingers on the saddle to create a rhythm. "Interesting. But you have to be careful with the Second Prince."
Shen Weiwan's heart trembled, thinking of the collusion between Liu and the Second Prince: "Your Highness means..."
"It's nothing special," Xiao Yu said as he mounted his horse. "I'm just reminding you not to be used as a pawn." He pulled the reins and looked back at her. "By the way, I'll be waiting for you at the flower viewing banquet at the Taifu Mansion tomorrow."
Watching Xiao Yu's departing back, Shen Weiwan clenched the porcelain bottle in her hand. The Seventh Prince's reminder was not without purpose. It seemed that the Second Prince behind Liu was the real trouble.
"Miss," Chuntao came over, holding the account book, "the old housekeeper has found out that Wang San took fifty taels from Liu Shi, and he also confessed that Liu Shi planned to wait for you to fall ill so that she could steal the key to the storeroom!"
"Fifty taels?" Chen Weiwan sneered, "Send Wang San to the authorities and accuse him of stealing the master's property. As for Liu..." She looked towards Liu's courtyard, "Tell her that I'm not feeling well today and won't be visiting her in person. Let her take good care of her."
Chun Tao left immediately, while Shen Weiwan flipped open the account book and added another entry to the column "Liu's crimes." The sunlight shone through the window lattice onto the paper, casting her shadow on the account book like a sharp knife.
Liu, this is just the beginning. I will reclaim everything you and the Second Prince owe me, piece by piece, with interest.
At this time, Liu was lying on the toilet. When she heard the servant report that Wang San had been sent to the government, she was so angry that she almost fainted. She looked at her haggard face in the bronze mirror, her eyes full of resentment. Shen Weiwan, just wait, even if I die, I will drag you to hell with me!
Shen Weiwan sat by the window, watching the sunset dye the eaves of the general's mansion golden. She knew that Liu would not give up, and the Second Prince would not sit idly by. But she was no longer the foolish daughter of the previous life who was at the mercy of others.
"Chun Tao," Chen Weiwan put down the account book, "find my new pomegranate red dress. I want to make a real splash at the flower viewing banquet at the Taifu Mansion tomorrow."
Chun Tao's eyes lit up: "Miss, are you going to set a trap for Shen Ruorou again?"
"Chen Ruorou?" Shen Weiwan smiled. "She's just a clown. The real drama is yet to come."
As the night deepened, Shen Weiwan looked at the moon outside the window, tightly holding the porcelain bottle given by the Seventh Prince. No matter how many storms lay ahead, she would face them one by one. In this life, she would not only protect the General's Mansion, but also make all her enemies pay the price.
Meanwhile, in the Seventh Prince's Mansion, Xiao Yu was chuckling at the map. The guard beside him whispered, "Your Highness, why are you helping Miss Shen?"
Xiao Yu put down the cinnabar brush in his hand, a sly look in his eyes: "Don't you think it's fun to watch her dig a hole and bury someone?" He paused, then added: "Besides, it's time to move the Second Prince's people."
The guard understood and bowed and retreated. Xiao Yu looked out the window in the direction of the general's mansion, and the smile on his lips deepened. Chen Weiwan, I want to see how many more surprises you can give me.
A bigger storm is quietly brewing in the capital. And Shen Weiwan is ready to face everything. Her road to revenge has just reached its climax.
