Over there, Old Madam Mei was discussing with the nanny beside her: "With this letter from the kidnapper and a few maids as witnesses, if we send Weng Hui to the authorities, I wonder what kind of punishment she will receive."
The maid said, "Except for the crown and hairpins and a few other items, the rest of the items listed in the letter were gifts from the Second Master. Although it may sound bad to say that she sold her own things, she will not be punished.
The stolen crowns, hairpins, and other items are considered stolen property, and the total amount is quite large. Based on this amount, the most severe sentence would probably be exile and hard labor."
Old Lady Mei said, "If the highest sentence is exile or hard labor, that's not enough. It's not enough to put an end to it once and for all."
After being beaten and carried back to her own yard, Weng Hui hated Old Lady Mei even more.
It is easier to take action in the Plum Garden now than back in the main house, and Mei Xuanqi is too busy looking for someone recently to take care of it.
Weng Hui planned to get rid of this annoying and hateful old woman.
But she wanted to kill her personal maid, making everyone around her feel insecure. Everyone was thinking of a way out, and Mrs. Mei soon learned that Weng Hui might be planning something bad for her.
Old Mrs. Mei was shocked and thought: Since she wants to poison and kill me, an old woman, why shouldn't I help her?
So he asked the maid, "What if poisoning is also involved?"
The nanny was shocked and said, "Old Madam, you'd better let go of this thought. Your body is not as strong as that of a young person. All medicines are poisonous, not to mention that this is poison itself.
If anything happens to you, what will happen to these children?"
Mrs. Mei said, "If I don't get rid of her, I can't guarantee what will happen to me in the future."
Weng Hui felt that this time the operation wasn't going smoothly, but this combination of discomfort and constant anxiety made her feel that this time it would succeed. After all, good things take time.
She thought: Yuan Zhixi, the mistress of the house, fell off a cliff, and Mei Xuanqi has been looking for her for seven days. It is estimated that this person will never come back.
After she succeeds in this matter, Old Mrs. Mei will also pass away, and she will make it a "double happiness" for them.
Thinking of this, she actually forgot about her whip wounds and laughed out loud. Then she immediately felt the wound on her abdomen being pulled, and the pain made her gasp. She couldn't help but curse Old Mrs. Mei hundreds of times in her heart.
Old Mrs. Mei’s three favorite desserts, two sweet and one salty, were all served today: the salty and fresh shredded chicken lotus rolls, the sweet jade dew loquat cakes, and the translucent and crispy white jade lotus cups.
Because of the series of troubles at home, Mrs. Mei, who had a poor appetite recently, finally ate a lot of these three snacks.
Yuan Zhixi was deliberately knocked off the cliff by Mei Ruolin. Although Mei Xuanqi hesitated when the kidnappers asked him to choose between the two, Yuan Zhixi felt that his words, "I choose Mei Ruolin," were stuck in his throat, and his eyes were erratic, not daring to meet her gaze.
The kidnapper first checked the banknotes and said, "Then I'll let one person go first." Before he finished speaking, Mei Ruolin struggled to run towards Mei Xuanqi, but he turned in another direction and bumped into Yuan Zhixi next to him.
In order to threaten them, the kidnappers had already placed the two on the edge of a cliff. Mei Ruolin, the young man, used quite a lot of force. The collision caused Yuan Zhixi to slip and she almost fell backwards, falling directly off the cliff.
Neither the kidnappers nor the second master of the Mei family could catch Yuan Zhixi. In a flash, she fell down and disappeared from everyone's sight.
After Yuan Zhixi fell down, she felt herself constantly bumping into various tree branches. The continuous impact finally made her faint.
When she woke up again, she found that one of her feet was hung on some vine, and she was hanging upside down, dangling in the air.
Whether I looked up or down, I could not see the sky or the earth, and severe pain came from all over my body.
Just when Yuan Zhixi was at her wit's end, she heard a voice say, "You're quite clever. You figured out this method to pick the King Ganoderma."
What is this Ganoderma Lucidum King? Where did that voice come from? Was I hallucinating?
Because Yuan Zhixi was hanging upside down, she couldn't see where the sound came from, but she felt that the sound was not far away.
Yuan Zhixi pleaded for help: "I fell from the cliff above, not while picking any King Ganoderma."
The man said, "I'm not a good person, so why would I go to such great lengths to save you for no reason?
If you want me to save you, you must first help me pick that King Ganoderma Lucidum."
Yuan Zhixi could only say, "Where is that Lingzhi King you're talking about? I can't see it."
The voice said, "Can you swing? Now swing your body up, and when you swing yourself over this cliff you'll see it."
Yuan Zhixi had no choice but to stretch and shake as hard as she could as she was told. After trying many times and enduring the severe pain, she finally mastered the method. The swinging amplitude of the vine began to increase gradually, and she gradually approached the cliff wall.
As she got closer and closer, she finally saw the Ganoderma Lucidum King that the voice described.
It was so big that Yuan Zhixi didn't know if she could take it off the moment she threw it over, so she could only try her best.
But just as he reached out to pick it, the voice suddenly shouted, "Hold it tight after you pick it. Don't let go. Don't let it fall."
The shout scared her so much that she retracted her hand, and she had to wait until she could swing it again. Reminded by the sound, Yuan Zhixi held on to the Ganoderma lucidum and did not let go. Relying on the reverberating force, she actually pulled it off.
At this moment, Yuan Zhixi felt the branch where the vine on her feet was hanging made a cracking sound, and then her whole body fell down with a bang like a kite with a broken string. At the same time, two ropes were thrown out from the direction where the sound came from, and they were wrapped around her waist like snakes.
