Granny Song gave each of the two maids two taels of silver, saying, "This is the Madam's wish; please keep your mouths shut."
The two rough-looking old women, beaming with joy after receiving the silver, replied, "Don't worry, madam."
"Okay, you guys go ahead with your work. I'll call you if I need anything."
After watching the two rough-looking old women leave, Granny Song went inside.
The ropes binding Su Mama, who was just tied up, have now been untied, and there is another person with her.
Guo'er respectfully greeted Granny Song, "Master."
"Where is he?" asked Granny Song.
Guo'er glanced at the cubicle. "It's inside."
Granny Song nodded, "Go ahead."
A ruthless glint flashed across Guo'er's face as she picked up the rope she had used to tie up Granny Su. "Yes."
'Granny Su' tore off the human skin mask from her face, revealing herself to be Guo Haifu, the Shrimp Cripple. She said regretfully, 'This human skin isn't cheap.' Then she tossed it into the charcoal stove in the corner of the room where water was boiled.
A burnt, pungent smell of burning fur wafted out and drifted out the window.
Inside the cubicle, the real Granny Su lay unconscious on the floor, and Guo'er swiftly strangled her with a rope...
Song Mama and Guo Haifu ignored the struggling sounds coming from the inner room.
"Any news from the Prime Minister's wife?"
"Not yet. By the way, do you have any scar removal medicine? Madam wants to buy some for the young lady."
"Yes, but it's very expensive, at least 50,000 taels of silver."
To what extent can it be restored?
"It's as if I've never been injured."
"Okay, I'll tell Madam that the price shouldn't be a problem."
Guo'er dragged Su Mama's body out of the inner room. "Master, it's all taken care of."
Granny Song glanced at Granny Su, who had been strangled, and said, "Go back to the kitchen first, so as not to arouse suspicion."
"Yes, Master." Guo'er replied, then bowed to Guo Haifu with clasped hands, entered the cubicle, and jumped out of the cubicle window to leave.
Guo Haifu's expression suddenly turned solemn, and he said to Granny Song, "The higher-ups want us to find someone; if we can't find the antidote for next month, they won't give us any more."
"What!?" Granny Song's pupils suddenly contracted.
Shrimp Cripple said, "I originally just thought they looked similar, but I never expected it would involve royal secrets. His Majesty's attitude is also making things difficult for the higher-ups. Anyway, let's find someone first."
"We've searched the entire capital, both openly and secretly, and the area outside the city is like looking for a needle in a haystack. How are we supposed to find it?"
"We still have to find them, otherwise we'll both die."
Granny Song, quick-witted as ever, had a sudden inspiration and said, "How about... I go to Minzhou and start investigating from there? If she escaped, she might come back."
“That’s a good idea. I’ll go back and report to my superiors to see if we can extend the time. Minzhou is a long way away, and it will take almost a month to go back and forth. At least I’ll get you next month’s antidote first.”
"Okay, let's do it this way. You'll be in charge of things in the capital, and I'll go to Minzhou."
After the two finished their discussion, Shrimp Cripple left through the window of the inner room.
Granny Song then summoned the two rough-working women and gave each of them three taels of silver. She then took Granny Su's body to the mortuary outside the capital for disposal.
...
Mu Run was a restless person, busy running around the manor all by herself. During this time, she even disguised herself and went to the village closest to the manor.
It just so happened that there was a big market in the village, so she went to the market and bought a lot of things. In the end, the villagers helped her take the things back to the mountain villa in a donkey cart.
"Sow a seed in spring, reap a thousandfold in autumn." Mu Run straightened up, looking at the planted field and Cha Bao jumping around in it, feeling a great sense of accomplishment.
"The poem is good." Fu Yunchen's voice suddenly rang out from behind her.
