Chapter 128 "Stop crying!"
But Ye Mingzhu did not expect that, not two days later, a bodyguard would come to Liu Rumei's side.
It was probably Liu Rumei who asked Xiao Sunshi for the person, in order to prevent being eavesdropped on.
Fearing to alert the assassins, Yan Zhi couldn't get too close and couldn't hear Liu Rumei's movements; she could only watch from afar.
Even from a distance, you can still see some of the situation.
After Liu Rumei finished her postpartum confinement and her body recovered somewhat, she resumed her affair with Sheng Huai'an. Sheng Huai'an could be seen appearing in Qinghui Garden from time to time.
Sheng Huai'an was being watched over by his ancestors, who were right to keep an eye on his studies.
But how can one be watched every single moment?
He not only constantly sought opportunities to be with Liu Rumei, but also had her adding fragrance to his books when he was reading in the study, and he did not focus on the imperial examination.
He truly understood the joys of having multiple wives.
There's nothing new about this scumbag and bitch thing. Ye Mingzhu was just thinking of bringing Yanzhi back from the Sheng Mansion so she could get some rest when Jia Shi suddenly ran into trouble.
Since the family split and she was punished for protecting Sheng Huai'an, Jia's health has deteriorated considerably.
Later, Liu Rumei gave her a drug that caused a false pregnancy, which was even more harmful to her body.
But he suddenly fell ill and could only lie helplessly in bed. He had great difficulty blinking and speaking. He had almost completely lost control of his body and was like a living dead person. It was still very strange.
...
Jingchun Residence.
Princess Ronghua looked at Ye Mingzhu with a serious expression and asked again, "Are you sure that the poison in Jia's body is Huang Quanji?"
Ye Mingzhu said cautiously, "I haven't examined Jia's pulse, so I can't be completely sure; it's just a guess. But judging from Jia's current appearance, it's pretty much a hunch."
Princess Ronghua frowned: "But when Junzhao was poisoned before, he wasn't bedridden like Jia Shi; he was just a little weak. Jia Shi looked very serious, like she didn't have long to live."
Ye Mingzhu: "..."
weak?
Someone is not weak.
Not long after they got married, he grabbed her wrist and pinned her against the rockery wall, his strength so great that she couldn't break free.
They are incredibly strong, and their eyes are filled with a menacing aura.
The thought that she had once considered marrying a sickly husband but being able to outdo him physically made her feel like a fool.
Now, looking at that person's current behavior, he seems to have inexhaustible energy, and she strongly suspects that his previous illness and weakness were an act.
After calming herself down, Ye Mingzhu said, "It's probably because the Duke is young and has a good constitution that he can withstand it. Jia's health was already bad, and if she was poisoned again, she wouldn't even have a chance to struggle before she was knocked down."
Princess Ronghua nodded in agreement.
She couldn't help but sigh, "It's a good thing Junzhao married you, otherwise, I don't know how I would have to worry about him."
Ye Mingzhu smiled, unwilling to think about Sheng Yunche's fate in his previous life.
She asked, "What does Mother intend to do about the Jia family?"
Princess Ronghua didn't rush to answer, but suddenly looked at her and smiled: "So you've finally decided to change your tune?"
Previously, she was always respectfully addressed as Princess.
Now I call her Mother.
Ye Mingzhu realized what was happening and blushed at the teasing.
She hadn't consummated her marriage with Sheng Yunche before, and her respect for Princess Ronghua outweighed her closeness; that was a subconscious choice.
But ever since she and Sheng Yunche became closer, she has developed a sense of belonging to the Duke of Wei's mansion.
Almost without thinking, she changed how she addressed Princess Ronghua.
"Alright, alright, I know you're shy, I won't laugh at you anymore." Princess Ronghua said this, but the smile in her eyes didn't disappear at all. She just said seriously, "The fact that Jia Shi has ended up in this state is not caused by you or me, so let her be."
"Who knows, we might even make a fuss about this," she asked. "That's what you're planning too, Mingzhu, isn't it?"
Ye Mingzhu nodded.
Yes, that's what she thought too.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law shared the same desire to see the Sheng family suffer misfortune.
...
Ye Mingzhu did not waste any time.
He instructed Yanzhi to find an opportunity to light a calming incense stick for Jia Shi and her servants, and then led her to sneak into Rongshou Hall.
She examined Jia's pulse and confirmed that Jia had indeed been poisoned by Huang Quanji.
This poison is different from the one Sheng Yunche was poisoned with, but it is exactly the same as the poison Sheng Huai'an used on his younger sister Ye Baozhu in his previous life.
She had suspected before that Huang Quanji was taken out by Liu Rumei, and now, her guess has finally been confirmed.
Huang Quan Ji is a potent medicine, but the symptoms it produces are mild.
The poisoned person will become increasingly weak over time, their internal organs will fail, and they will eventually die of suffocation. There will be no severe pain or discomfort, and the death will be silent and insidious, making it extremely vicious.
Because this poison is so rare, the medicinal materials used are extremely scarce, and it is difficult for doctors to realize that a patient has been poisoned and to prepare an antidote.
It can be said that if Ye Mingzhu hadn't intervened, Jia Shi, who was poisoned by the Yellow Springs Tomb, would have had no choice but to die, which was exactly what Liu Rumei, who poisoned Jia Shi, wanted.
But how could Ye Mingzhu possibly let Liu Rumei have her way?
She didn't do much else, only having Yanzhi deliver a letter to Yushu.
In the letter, she instructed Yu Shu to guide Sheng Huai'an to Ping An Tang to find a doctor.
At that time, the doctor she had bribed would come to the mansion to treat Jia Shi.
He would tell Sheng Huai'an that Jia Shi did not have a strange illness, but was poisoned.
She would also "incidentally," under the pangs of conscience, tell Sheng Huai'an another "truth": that Liu Rumei's previous pregnancy was a complete lie, that she was not actually pregnant, but had a false pregnancy caused by taking medication, all to manipulate him.
Liu Rumei's fake pregnancy was a deception for Sheng Huai'an.
Liu Rumei poisoned Jia Shi, wanting her dead, disregarding Sheng Huai'an's career prospects in the imperial examinations.
With these two things combined, isn't that enough to make them break off all relations?
Ye Mingzhu didn't believe it.
...
Three days later.
The doctor from Ping An Tang had just stepped out of the Sheng family mansion with his medicine chest when Sheng Huai'an, who was so angry that he was dizzy, rushed straight to Qinghui Garden and grabbed Liu Rumei, who was playing with her toddler, from the rattan chair under the tree.
What secret passage? I can't worry about that anymore.
We can't care about covering up anymore!
His movements were so forceful that the child almost fell out of Liu Rumei's arms, letting out a "woof woof" cry.
Seeing this, Sheng Huai'an simply snatched the child from her arms and tossed it aside, throwing the child like a bundle into the arms of Yinzhu, who was standing not far away.
The baby, only a few months old, cried loudly in fear.
Fortunately, Yinzhu held the child, otherwise it might have been a tragedy.
Liu Rumei's face turned pale, her body went cold, and she lost consciousness for a moment.
But Sheng Huai'an was so enraged that he couldn't care less about anything else, let alone pay attention to her emotions. He even yelled at the child more and more violently, "Stop crying! If you cry again, I'll smash you to death!"
