Chapter 258 Su Beiqing Meets Song Mingzhu
"No, miss." Bai Lan snatched the box from Ah Qi's hand. "They must be trying to make you eat it to control you. You can't take it back intact. Replace it with a candy of the same shape and send it back."
"No need. How could I fall for it so easily? Ah Qi, take it back and keep an eye on Wu Han. It would be best if you could eavesdrop on what the mother and son are saying."
"Yes, miss."
Ah Qi took the box and quickly left the room.
Bai Lan said, "Qiuyue came to see Madam today. Maybe Song Mingzhu wanted to use Madam to make you take the pill."
"According to what you said, I think Song Mingzhu would give this pill to my clueless biological mother to control her and make her do something irreversible to force me to leave the Du Mansion. Naturally, the engagement would be taken back by Du Zhihuan."
Bai Lan, Furong and others changed their expressions when they heard this.
The Marquis's wife already dotes on Du Zhihuan, and it's hard to imagine what crazy things she would do once she is controlled.
Furong said, "Even if Madam is controlled, the old lady is above her. She will never allow such a thing to happen and will not let Madam make a fuss. If she is eaten by the old lady, Song Mingzhu's plan will have a chance of success."
Song Yu was shocked. "It's entirely possible! Tomorrow, Bai Lan will be entering the palace with me. Nuan Yu, keep an eye on Yi Lan Fang Hua. Fu Rong, Ning Shuang, and Chun Hua, the three of you, keep an eye on the Marquis' wife and protect my grandmother."
"yes!"
"Miss," Bai Lan said again, "I should have changed the pills just now."
"No, I will light my special scented powder in Grandma's room tomorrow. Even if Grandma takes the pill, it will be like eating candy."
Bai Lan asked again, "Should we also light this kind of perfume in the Marquis's room?"
Song Yu shook his head, "She doesn't need it."
"Ah?" Bai Lan and others were shocked. The young lady didn't care about the Marquis's wife's health at all.
Seeing their reaction, Song Yu quickly added, "My biological mother is in good health. She'll be back to normal once the effects of the medicine wear off. We have to make it look as convincing as possible so that Song Mingzhu will believe her plan has succeeded. Keep a close eye on me and find out what Song Mingzhu is planning."
"Yes, miss."
The next day, just as Song Yu had lit the incense powder in Du Ye's room, Xiao Chengqian came to the Du family.
"Sister Yu, my mother is pregnant now, and she's been having severe reactions these past two days. After we leave the palace, can you come back with me to the palace to let my mother see you?"
Song Yu nodded: "Okay, Prince Brother."
No wonder Xiao Chengqian became the emperor in his previous life. It is very likely that the emperor and the little prince liked their family and were able to have children.
When he arrived at the palace gate, he saw Mu Jingxing waiting there.
"cousin."
Mu Jingxing frowned slightly. His cousin was really hardworking!
I ran to pick up Miss Song early in the morning!
And she’s dressed so flamboyantly!
Seeing that Mu Jingxing's expression was much more serious than usual, Xiao Chengqian patted him on the shoulder and asked, "What's wrong, cousin? Do you have a difficult case?"
Mu Jingxing quickly softened his expression, "That's right, I stayed up late last night, but there were more than one or two difficult cases, I'm used to it."
"Cousin, why don't you change your job? Facing prisoners every day with a cold face, you're wasting your good looks."
Song Yu got off the carriage and walked over, "Brother Prince, Prince Mu, let's go in quickly."
As soon as they entered the palace, Wang Gui brought a group of eunuchs to carry a sedan chair for Song Yu.
Mu Jingxing and Xiao Chengqian did not receive such treatment. They had to guard the side of the sedan chair and walk to the Weiyang Palace.
"Madam, are you really going to the Jiuchonglou to see Song Mingzhu today?"
Su Beiqing's face lit up with anger when she heard this. "Song Mingzhu has deceived me so much over the years! I raised Huanhuan with great difficulty and pampering, and she actually wanted to send Yujie'er to another county to marry anyone. If Yujie'er hadn't said that day that she remembered her kindness, I would have dealt with her long ago!"
Qin Gu quickly comforted her: "Don't be angry, Madam. It's not too late to deal with her now."
"Hmph! Today I want to see what she has to say to me. If she still wants to take advantage of Sister Yu, the Song family will forget about gaining a foothold in the capital!"
Su Beiqing was worried that Du Ye would think too much if she knew she went to see Song Mingzhu, so she left the Du Mansion on the pretext of going to the shop to check the accounts.
Furong and Chunhua followed quietly.
When Song Mingzhu rushed to the Jiuchong Tower, he saw Song Mingen and Wen Can following Jiang Youya into the Jiuchong Tower.
"Madam, Mr. Song is also wearing a mask."
Song Mingzhu guessed easily, "Big Brother might also be worried that his enemies might come to harm him."
Song Mingzhu hopes that Song Mingen can find his family.
My eldest brother is so smart, handsome and has a good temperament. His biological parents must be extraordinary people.
Song Mingzhu had booked a standard, elegant room in the teahouse on the fourth floor. "Qiuyue, go wait at the stairs. Let me know when the Marquis's wife arrives."
What Song Mingzhu didn't know was that Song Mingen, Wen Can and Jiang Youya were currently sitting in the innermost, largest and most luxurious box on this floor.
"Ming En, I met the head of the Gu family today. You can do business with each other often in the future."
"Thank you, father-in-law, for the introduction."
Jiang Youya smiled and said, "The Gu family has always prioritized profit in business, not personal gain. Whether your cooperation is successful or not, your father-in-law can't help you."
Wen Can said, "Don't worry, Mr. Jiang. My family has been in business for generations, so we understand what merchants value most. The business that my eldest brother and I are going to do will certainly bring considerable profits to the Gu family. If the head of the Gu family doesn't like our business, even if it doesn't work out this time, we will definitely be able to cooperate successfully next time."
Seeing Wen Can's confident expression, Jiang Youya said, "Since you are so confident, the cooperation with the Gu family will definitely succeed. But Ming En, you can't be so busy with business that you neglect your studies."
"Don't worry, father-in-law, I won't go back on my word."
At the same time, Gu Wanqing brought his confidants to the Jiuchong Tower and ran into Su Beiqing.
"This old man has met the Marquis' wife."
Su Beiqing asked, "Is Patriarch Gu here at the Nine-Storied Building to discuss business today?"
Gu Wanqing smiled and said, "I guess so."
"Then Master Gu, please go in quickly and don't keep the guests waiting for too long."
Su Beiqing was worried that Gu Wanqing would catch her meeting Song Mingzhu, so she took Qin Gu to stroll around the first floor first.
Half a minute later, he led Qin Gu to the fourth floor.
Furong and Chunhua disguised themselves when they came out, and deceived the stewards of Jiuchonglou who were guarding the entrance of the corridor between the third and fourth floors by pretending to be Su Beiqing's maids, and followed them up to the fourth floor.
"I, Song Mingzhu, greet the Marquis' wife." Song Mingzhu bent down most of her body to greet Su Beiqing.
Su Beiqing didn't look happy towards Song Mingzhu. She walked into the private room with her chin raised and her sleeves swung.
Song Mingzhu stood up, lowered her head slightly and followed in.
When Qiuyue closed the door, she saw two maids coming up with rags and wiping the doors, windows and other decorations in the corridor in an orderly manner.
The two of them moved naturally, without a trace of anything unusual. Qiuyue just glanced at them and closed the door without thinking much.
"Song Mingzhu! What exactly do you want to say to this lady?"
Su Beiqing's loud voice with a hint of impatience came out.
To Furong and Chunhua, it sounded like the faint meow of a kitten.
Fortunately, the two of them had sensitive ears and could hear clearly, which was enough to prove that the Nine-Story Building had good sound insulation.
"Madam Hou, I'm here mainly for Huanhuan."
Su Beiqing said angrily, "You want to take Huanhuan to live with you? I advise you not to think about it."
