"One day, I will let everyone in the world know that being with one person for life is the most beautiful truth in the world."
Xie Lingqin spoke softly, turning her gaze away from the sky, "Let's go. At least for now, we'll have some peace and quiet. I can do what I want to do."
"Miss, what do you want to do?"
Zihe was very curious.
This curiosity caused her to finally let down her guard after spending several days with Xie Lingqin, having previously maintained a reserved demeanor.
This mistress truly treated her as her mistress.
Xie Lingqin smiled mysteriously.
Bright eyes and white teeth, eyebrows as light as feathers, and flowing sleeves.
That smile gradually spread across her cool, aloof eyes, like a bright, clear ray of light in the autumn moon, seeping into people's hearts and lingering there.
"You'll find out soon," Xie Lingqin said, still keeping everyone in suspense.
Zihe was somewhat depressed.
“Last time I bought those little trinkets from the street that people had put away, if you have some free time, you can take them out to air in the sun and tidy them up.”
Xie Lingqin then threw out another sentence.
Zihe felt somewhat comforted, but still didn't understand.
Back at Qingshui Pavilion.
Tridacna immediately trotted over, "Miss, are you alright?"
"Hmm, your embroidery is quite good; even the incense burner itself didn't suspect anything."
Xie Lingqin handed the handkerchief she had just used to Tridacna to Tridacna, saying, "Wash it, it's a gift for you."
"Thank you, miss. I'm glad I could help you."
Xie Lingqin shook her head and smiled, saying nothing more.
That's right, she wouldn't have had time to go to Xianglong's room to get the embroidered handkerchief, and even if she did find it, she wouldn't have had time to poison it.
It was just asking Tridacna to copy the design; I asked her to embroider an extra one yesterday, just in case.
And in every stitch of that embroidery, there was a secret to the love potion used in the boudoir of men and women.
Xianglong is not married yet, so why is he doing this? Doesn't Xie Zhuangjun have any idea?
Oh!
However, Xie Lingqin still felt a pang of regret.
When giving General Xie the handkerchief, she secretly tampered with it, adding some of the poison she had been given.
It's just similar.
However, General Xie's expression remained unchanged; all he showed was shock and anger at the embroidered handkerchief and the aphrodisiac.
Therefore, it was not General Xie who poisoned her all along.
That day, when Zihe learned from her investigation that the only person Doctor Jiang had seen before he died in prison was General Xie, she had some doubts, but she still couldn't quite believe it.
However, whether General Xie knew she was poisoned is unknown.
...
Not long after, the sound of water was heard; it turned out that Xianglong had hanged himself.
This matter surprised Xie Lingqin somewhat.
Thinking it over, Xianglong wasn't the type of person who would commit suicide.
Early the next morning.
Xie Lingqin had just finished dinner when she heard Zihe come in and whisper, "Miss, Liu Mama, who serves Second Madam, says she wants to see you. She came quietly under the tree by the back window."
Upon hearing this, Xie Lingqin nodded, a knowing sneer flashing across her eyes. "It seems she's frightened."
"How could you not be frightened? Miss, you took care of both the steward and Xianglong without lifting a finger, and even dragged the Second Madam down with you. Although the Second Miss seems to be doing well, she's not having an easy time either. If Liu Mama isn't afraid of all this, she's really bold."
Xie Lingqin lowered her eyes slightly and stood up. "Yes, bring her in."
Zihe brought Liu Mama in shortly afterward.
"Plop." Granny Liu knelt down in front of Xie Lingqin. "This old servant greets Miss."
"I wonder what brings Granny Liu to see me?" Xie Lingqin asked.
"Old servant, old servant..." Granny Liu said, kowtowing heavily to the ground, "This old servant begs Miss to spare my life. From now on, whatever Miss commands me to do, this old servant will never dare to disobey."
"No need. I wouldn't dare use someone like you." Xie Lingqin waved her hand, then sneered, "I only need to ask you one thing, just tell me."
Granny Liu immediately looked up and asked, "What?"
"Does Xie Lingyu have some hidden illness that he cannot reveal to others?" Xie Lingqin asked.
Upon hearing this, Granny Liu shook her head. "No, the Second Miss has been healthy since birth, everything is normal, and over the years, I haven't heard of any hidden illnesses."
Xie Lingqin looked at her, "Really?"
Granny Liu immediately kowtowed, "Don't worry, Miss, this old servant wouldn't dare to lie to you."
"Alright, you may leave now." Xie Lingqin looked at Liu Mama and realized she didn't seem to be lying. After thinking for a while, she waved her hand, signaling her to leave.
Granny Liu was clearly surprised that Xie Lingqin had actually let her go without making a move.
Xie Lingqin laughed, "What, aren't you afraid of being discovered by Second Aunt and being poisoned like she poisoned Granny Yang?"
Upon hearing this, Granny Liu was startled. "Young Miss, what did you say, Granny Yang...?"
"I didn't poison Granny Yang. I have no reason to poison a servant who has nothing to do with me." Xie Lingqin seemed too lazy to explain and gestured for Zihe to take her away.
After seeing Liu Mama off, Zihe was a little confused. "Miss, you just let her go like that. Can you trust what she says?"
Xie Ling nodded. "If she weren't reliable, she wouldn't have come to me. But you don't need to worry. Judging from what happened just now, Granny Liu didn't know that it was Second Aunt who poisoned Granny Yang. Now that she knows, do you think she'll be scared and still be so devoted to Second Aunt?"
Zihe suddenly realized something and raised her finger. "Miss, you're really clever. This is much safer than taking Liu Mama under your wing and making her work for you."
