Thinking of the past, Gu Yunran felt a sharp pain in her heart. She closed her eyes to hold back her tears. When she opened them again, she pretended to be happy and said, "Thank you, husband!"
Lu Qingzhou didn't expect that Gu Yunran's attitude towards him would improve after she fell ill. He smiled and said, "As long as you like it."
He reached out to hold Gu Yunran's waist and bent down to kiss her on the cheek, but was pushed away by Gu Yunran, "I'm still sick, I don't want to infect you."
Lu Qingzhou had no choice but to withdraw his hand awkwardly. He sat next to Gu Yunran and stared at her. He had never looked at her carefully before.
This, upon closer inspection, revealed that she was much more beautiful than most women he had ever seen.
In the past, he thought that although she was beautiful, she lacked the agility of a girl and was like a wooden stake, submissive to everything. But now he found that her beauty was very unique.
Seeing Lu Qingzhou staring at her in a daze, Gu Yunran felt sick, but she still held it back, pursed her lips and spoke shyly.
"Fourth Master, I have something I want to discuss with you."
"you say."
Ever since Gu Yunyi found a good job for Lu Qingzhou, the more Lu Qingzhou looked at Gu Yunran, the more he liked her. He held his chin and just looked at her quietly.
Gu Yunran blushed as she was stared at. She said, "I've done some research on my poisoning and have some clues."
"Who is it?" Lu Qingzhou asked excitedly.
He wanted to see who was so ambitious that he dared to touch the mistress. What was the difference between this and ruining his future?
Seeing the murderous look in Lu Qingzhou's eyes, Gu Yunran sneered. She was not so narcissistic as to think that Lu Qingzhou wanted to kill her because he was worried about her safety. He was probably angry because he didn't have her help and his future was delayed.
She coughed and said, "It's Aunt Fan."
"What?" Lu Qingzhou was a little unconvinced. "She was locked up in the backyard all by herself, and she could still reach out to you?"
"You don't believe me?" Gu Yunran felt a pang of bitterness in her heart, and she felt like crying out of grievance. "If I wasn't sure, I wouldn't tell you."
"I believe you." Lu Qingzhou put his arm around Gu Yunran and comforted her, "I'll do whatever you say to her."
He gritted his teeth in hatred.
Not only did Fan Meiniang dare to threaten him, she also poisoned the mistress!
He really underestimated her, thinking she was just an ordinary country woman.
But where did she get that rare poison?
Gu Yunran pried Lu Qingzhou's hand away, wiped her tears with a handkerchief, took a deep breath and said, "This matter can be big or small."
"For the Lu family, I don't want to make things worse, so I'll give her another chance."
Hearing this, Lu Qingzhou breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at Gu Yunran with gratitude, "Good Yunran."
Fan Meiniang has evidence of his dirty deeds, and he is worried that if Gu Yunran really executes her, Fan Meiniang will become desperate and do something desperate.
"I can spare her life, but I cannot let her go unpunished." Gu Yunran looked at Lu Qingzhou and said, "She is my husband's concubine. It's up to you to decide how my husband wants to punish her."
Lu Qingzhou thought for a while. He didn't want to disappoint Gu Yunran, so he said, "Then punish her to spend the rest of her life on the farm."
Gu Yunran had no objection and nodded: "All up to you."
Gu Yunran was unusually talkative today. Lu Qingzhou didn't want to leave and wanted to stay overnight. Gu Yunran was annoyed and found an excuse to send him away.
Lu Qingzhou left reluctantly. Yuling, who had been hiding in the corner, came out secretly. Her face was pale. She reached out and pulled an elderly maid and asked, "Madame Li, is life on the farm good?"
Nanny Li shook her head repeatedly after hearing this. "Girl, please don't make any mistakes. The farm is not a place for human beings to live. It's full of uncouth girls who have made mistakes. They don't have enough food or warm clothes there, and they have to do dirty and tiring work day and night. If you keep talking, you will be beaten until your skin is torn and your flesh is exposed."
"Once you go, you can't come back. If you can survive for three months, you're lucky."
Nanny Li shook her head as she spoke, and she repeatedly told Yuling to do her job well and not make mistakes.
Yuling was so scared that her face turned pale. She made an excuse and hurriedly ran to the backyard.
Seeing Yuling running out, Taohua smiled and said, "Madam, Yuling heard everything."
Gu Yunran leaned on the soft couch with his eyes closed and said slowly, "Let her go."
Two people make an accomplice, three people make a tiger.
backyard.
Fan Meiniang was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. She grabbed Yuling's hand and asked, "Is what you said true? Did Gu Yunran really say that?"
Yuling lowered her head and said, "Really? I heard the conversation between the Fourth Master and his wife with my own ears. The Fourth Master said he would send you to the manor."
"I asked Madam Li, and she said that he never came back from the farm and most likely died there."
Yuling was so frightened that her face turned pale. She sobbed and cried, "Auntie, what should I do?"
"Madam has now learned that you poisoned her. She wants to let you go, but the Fourth Master won't. After all, the Fourth Master is counting on Young Master Gu to rise to prominence."
Bang!
Fan Mei Niang slapped Yu Ling in the face, her eyes filled with murderous intent: "What nonsense are you talking about? When did I poison the mistress?"
Yuling opened her mouth wide: "But that's what the madam said."
"I didn't. It was clearly the old lady who poisoned me. I'm also a victim." She took a deep breath. "Since Lu Qingzhou abandoned me, don't blame me!"
Fan Meiniang gritted her teeth, her fingers clenched so tightly that they creaked. She grabbed Yuling's collar and pulled her up. "You and I are now tied to the same rope. Do you want to live?"
Yuling nodded: "I don't want to die."
"Then listen to me..." Fan Meiniang leaned over to her ear and whispered softly. Yuling widened her eyes and kept shaking her head: "Slave, this slave dare not!"
Fan Meiniang let go of her hand and threw Yuling to the ground. "Since you don't dare to do it, then wait for death."
"It doesn't matter if I die, I'll be alone, but you still have an old mother and younger brother at home waiting for you to support them. Do you want to give it a try, or wait to die?"
"casual!"
After Fan Meiniang finished speaking, she lay on the bed and closed her eyes, seemingly not in a hurry at all. Only she knew that her palms and back were covered in sweat.
Yuling cried and said, "This servant, this servant, will obey all orders from my aunt."
Three days passed in a flash.
Today was the day of the banquet to celebrate Lu Qingzhou's promotion. Gu Yunran got up early. Zhuye was combing her hair and said with a smile, "Madam, Imperial Physician Mu is truly a master doctor. You look much better lately."
Gu Yunran looked at herself in the bronze mirror. Fortunately, she was lucky enough not to be poisoned to death.
She said to Zhuye, "My complexion is not good. I don't look sick at all. Put on more white powder."
Zhuye understood: "Yes."
Gu Yunran said to Taohua again: "Are you all ready?"
Taohua: "Madam, don't worry, everything is ready. Aunt Fan is so scared that she is going to make a big mess today."
Gu Yunran closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, she was clear-headed. She curled her lips and smiled, "Okay."
