Mrs. Li thought that Liu was warning her to strengthen the management of the garden and never do anything like what happened last year again.
So he quickly knelt down and kowtowed to make a promise.
Liu's eyes were dark and unclear, and Mrs. Li was frightened.
Ever since the last time Liu drugged Qingye, and the two people who killed Qingye never returned to Wu'an Marquis Mansion, Mrs. Li knew that their lady was definitely not a good person, and she was always worried that she would also be killed silently by Liu.
So she was very nervous for a while, but fortunately everything was back to normal later, so Mrs. Li finally felt relieved.
Today, Liu came to see her again, and she was so scared that her heart was beating fast.
When she heard that it was not about that matter and she was just asked to take good care of the garden, she breathed a sigh of relief and quickly made a promise to Liu.
Looking at Liu's eyes now, he felt something was wrong and couldn't help but get nervous again.
"Mrs. Li, you did a great job with Qingye last time. I need you to do it again this time." Liu directly stated her purpose, but she didn't say it so obviously.
Mrs. Li didn't understand, so she could only bite the bullet and ask, "Madam, didn't the last thing succeed?"
That’s impossible, Qingye said when he came back, but he saw the Crown Prince’s wife and the Second Miss drinking tea.
If she fails, the lady will definitely not forgive her.
It's impossible to deal with only Aoba.
"No, that matter has been completed and is in the past. I hope you will forget it and not mention it again." Liu said in a cold tone, "I asked you to do one more thing for me today."
Seeing that Mrs. Li still didn't understand, Liu continued, "I want you to give me the medicine again on the old lady's birthday. Do you understand?"
"Is it still for the prince's wife?" Mrs. Li asked. She had already given him the contraceptive drug, so wouldn't it be a waste to give him more medicine?
"That's right. If you do well this time, I will exempt your grandson from the status of a slave and pay for him to go to school."
"Really, ma'am?" Mrs. Li asked happily.
Her grandson is eight years old this year. Everyone praises him for being clever and smart, and he is a good student.
Unfortunately, they are of low birth and cannot go to school. If the lady is merciful, then maybe someone in their Li family can become an official, and then she can redeem their family, and they will become good citizens.
Mrs. Li was tempted by this huge benefit and immediately patted her chest and promised, "Madam, just tell me how to do it, and I will definitely do it."
Seeing that Mrs. Li agreed, Liu gave Madam Qi a wink.
Aunt Qi helped Mrs. Li up, took her hand affectionately and said, "When the time comes, drug her and find a suitable opportunity to lure the old lady's nephew over."
This time, Mrs. Li understood immediately. It turned out that the ladies wanted to harm the innocence of the Crown Prince's wife.
Anyway, she and the Crown Prince's wife didn't get along, so this shouldn't be difficult. Mrs. Li agreed directly.
Liu asked Madam Qi to get a purse for Mrs. Li. Madam Qi whispered some instructions before handing it off.
After Mu Chen saw Mrs. Li go out, he waited on the roof for a while, listened to Liu and Madam Qi plotting for a while, and then quietly left.
He went straight back to Lingyun Pavilion to report to Shen Nian.
"Master, I couldn't hear clearly from the rooftop. I only heard fragments of what was going on. It was about the old lady's birthday, administering the drug, and luring the old lady's nephew here." Mu Chen thought carefully about what he had heard. "Oh, and there was also a mention of administering the drug again."
After a brief thought, Shen Nian understood what Liu meant. She wanted to drug someone again, and the target should be Xia Tian, not him.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have suggested bringing the old lady's nephew over.
Thinking of this, Shen Nian narrowed his eyes slightly, and his hands unconsciously clenched into fists. Liu was trying to plot against Xia Tian’s innocence.
It's so vicious.
Seeing their master's increasingly gloomy face, Mu Chen also felt that the situation was getting serious, and waited quietly for Shen Nian's instructions.
The guard who was watching Mrs. Li, after seeing Mrs. Li return to her room, asked another guard to continue watching her while he went back to report the situation.
After listening to the guard's report, Muchen came in and told Shen Nian, "Master, the purse that Madam Qi gave to Madam Li contained silver."
Shen Nian nodded slightly, "Well, keep watching, and also send someone to keep a close eye on Aunt Qi to see where he goes recently. If he goes out of the house to buy medicine, make sure to write down what medicine he buys."
He could actually already guess what kind of medicine Liu was going to give Xia Tian, but he had to make the necessary preparations in advance.
He was not quite sure which nephew Liu was talking about, so he had to investigate this in advance.
The main reason was that during the years when he was poisoned, he was indifferent to everything, which led to some people and things not matching up.
Liu and Shen Lan had to continue their house arrest, so the next day, when Xia Tian went to the old lady's courtyard to pay her respects, she did not see them.
Yesterday, because he was attending the Queen Mother's birthday celebration, Marquis Wu'an had no choice but to release them both.
Now of course we have to continue the house arrest.
This saves Xia Tian some trouble.
To avoid another war of words.
Unfortunately, she was thinking too well. Although Liu was not around, there was still an old lady who disliked her.
Xia Tian followed the others and paid her respects politely, but the old lady, for some reason, made her kneel down and refused to let her get up or say anything.
Xia Tian knelt for a puzzled reason. After waiting for a while, the old lady still didn't say anything. Xia Tian became a little annoyed and stood up directly.
"Did I tell you to get up?" The old lady became angry when she saw that she dared to stand up without her permission.
"Oh! I thought the old lady was old and forgot to call me to get up, so I stood up by myself and didn't bother the old lady to call me." Xia Tian looked at the old lady coldly and replied.
"How dare you! Is this how a junior like you treats an elder?"
"Madam, I came here to pay my respects in a proper manner today. Everyone else has stood up, so why should I continue kneeling? I don't think I have done anything wrong. I don't know why you, madam, can't stand me?" Xia Tian also got angry and asked with a cold face.
"Don't you know where you are wrong?" The old lady slammed the table and raised her voice.
"I don't know, where did I go wrong?"
"Humph, if you don't know, then kneel down and reflect on it."
Xia Tian stood up straight. "Old Madam, I don't think there's anything I need to reflect on. If you want to know what I did wrong, you'd better tell me directly. I don't like this kind of guesswork and roundabout way of life."
"You! You're simply rebelling! Okay, let me tell you where you went wrong." The old lady stood up and pointed at Xia Tian. "What happened yesterday? You were playing tricks in front of the Empress Dowager. Do you think everyone else is stupid?"
The old lady was very angry. Yesterday, when she was surrounded by the old ladies from other mansions and asked them all kinds of questions, she couldn't answer a single word. It was really embarrassing.
If this damn girl hadn't been hiding it, how could she be speechless when asked?
