âShe harmed you.â Zi Weiâs eyes flashed with a sudden hint of killing intent.
âNo big deal. Tonight, weâll visit her.â
Su Yingxue brought Zi Wei to Yaoguang Garden. Zi Wei observed that Liu Shulan would drink a cup of honey water before she went to bed for beauty purposes. Su Yingxue brought a cup over and poured the honey water from Liu Shulanâs cup into the cup she brought.
Zi Wei noticed that the cup she brought was heavily wrapped, and she didnât even touch the cup with her fingers.
He asked mildly, âWhy?â
Su Yingxue was lying on the beam with him. When she saw Liu Shulan drink the cup of honey water, she chuckled and said, âThat cup was used by Lai San.â
Liu Shulan collaborated with Silver Moon Pavilion to harm her. This cup of honey water was her small retaliation against Liu Shulan.
As for Silver Moon Pavilionâ¦
She instructed Zi Wei to keep watch for a few days and bring her here when people from Silver Moon Pavilion arrived at Yaoguang Garden.
In less than two days, Zi Wei told her, âHong Lian has appeared.â
Su Yingxue nodded. âLetâs go and meet her.â
She and Zi Wei arrived at Yaoguang Garden. From the roof, they could clearly see the chaos inside.
Su Yurou cried miserably in her room. âMother, how did you become like this?! How did 1 get infected with this deadly plague? I⦠Iâm scared!â
Su Yingxueâs lips curled up. She squatted down and watched the people busy themselves for a long time before Hong Lian finally appeared. The moment she entered the room, the cries and screams inside ceased.
Su Yingxue clicked her tongue and sighed. âSheâs indeed the person who poisoned Lai San. She immediately cured the poison.â
Hong Lian had brought Saint Ruanâs antidote for Liu Shulan. However, when she saw Liu Shulanâs scarred face, she frowned. âCould it be that you were careless and contracted the deadly plague?â
Liu Shulan shook her head vigorously. âThatâs impossible. 1 didnât even handle the things you gave me. I handed them over to the servants. After Lai San got infected, I executed that servant and burned his body. 1⦠I shouldnât get infected!â
âDid you deliberately harm my mother? You took so much money from us and caused my mother to get sick!â Su Yurou dared not get close. She hid behind the folding screen and cried out.
A sudden murderous intent gathered in Hong Lianâs eyes.
Liu Shulan quickly tried to smooth things over. âMy daughter said it unintentionally. I hope that Pavilion Master will not take it to heart because of her young age. Itâs just that my illness is really strange. Pavilion Master, please forgive me!â
Hong Lian also knew that her illness was peculiar. She asked her to take out all the things she had used recently and even asked her to record all the people she had come into contact with.
Among the people she had been in contact with, none were related to Su Yingxueâs medical center. As for the things she had usedâ¦
Hong Lian looked at the row of teacups and bowls in front of her and gently picked up a small cup with a handkerchief.
Liu Shulan recognized it. âThis is the teacup I use every night for honey water.â
Hong Lianâs eyes revealed a trace of disdain as she threw the cup in front of her. âThis is Su Yingxueâs gift to you.â
When the inconspicuous porcelain cup rolled in front of Liu Shulan, the words âTongchang Medical Centerâ were engraved on the bottom of the cup.
Liu Shulan was shocked. âSu Yingxue!â
She could actually change the cup she drank from. How terrifying was that?
âMother, itâs Su Yingxue who harmed you? This b*tch! Letâs go back and tell father to kill her!â Su Yurou shouted angrily.
âKill her?â Hong Lian chuckled. âMadam Liu, your daughter is vicious, but sheâs stupid and ignorant. Silver Moon Pavilion doesnât do business with stupid people. In the future, thereâs no need for you to come to the Silver Moon Pavilion..â
