At the alley entrance, Granny Wu and Meixiang successfully met up.
Meixiang kept looking behind her, and Wu Mama said, "Don't look, why would the old lady come to a place like this?"
She advised Meixiang.
"Once you finish your errands here, go and pay your respects to the old lady in style. You will surely receive a generous reward."
Meixiang responded and recounted everything she had discovered at the Ji family's residence.
When she heard that the imperial physician's surname was "Jin", Granny Wu's expression suddenly changed.
Having served the matriarch for many years, she naturally knew the background of Physician Jin.
Oh no, it seems they were wrong all along.
Emperor Jingyuan not only did not lower his guard, but he was probably also planning to investigate Ji Rong's matter thoroughly, which is why he sent Imperial Physician Jin to take charge.
Remembering the attendant she had met at the pharmacy that day, Granny Wu immediately realized that she had been deceived.
There must be something wrong with that attendant.
She cursed inwardly.
"Granny, what's wrong?"

"Have you seen anyone in the Ji residence...?"
Granny Wu frowned, thinking for a long time about how to describe the man, but his appearance was so ordinary that even she had forgotten how.
"Never mind," she sighed.
It would be best to report this matter to the old lady as soon as possible.
Granny Wu said to Meixiang, "You said that Xiuyu is strange because he is a male guard disguised as a woman. Madam Jiang specially sent him to the Ji residence, which is why I came to see you today."
"Meixiang, the old lady has an important task for you."
Mei Xiang was startled.
After hearing Wu Mama's whisper in her ear, her expression became even more troubled.
"Granny, you don't know, that Xiuyu has a terrible temper. I'm afraid he won't listen to me. And... can this really bring down Madam Jiang?"
"You don't need to understand, just do it."
Granny Wu lowered her voice.
"If you do this well, this year's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet... will be the day of Jiang's death."
Meixiang, not understanding, nodded blankly.
The two were talking in hushed tones, unaware that two dark figures, one near and one far, were lurking in the night not far away.
