Chunhui Courtyard of Zhongyonghou Mansion in Shengjing, Qing Dynasty

"Did the Fourth Miss really go to the Duke's Mansion and threaten her with death just to not get married?"

"Well, the Fourth Miss and the Second Madam have always been at odds with each other. When I was a child, they often said that the Second Madam married the Second Master as a second wife, and her status was equivalent to that of a concubine. Now if she is asked to marry to the Duke's palace for a second marriage, wouldn't it be a slap in the face? Of course she

I don’t agree anymore.”

"But that won't make you sick. Even if you are a concubine, it is still the Duke's residence."

Xie Wenwan lay on the bed, slowly opened her eyes, and vaguely heard the voice of the little maid outside.

I felt my throat was burning, but the teacup I held up at the head of the bed was empty. I pounded the edge of the bed twice with my hands, and two maids in their twenties or thirteen years old with buns pushed open the door and came in.

"Fourth Miss, you're awake, are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"I want to drink."

The maid quickly poured the water on and handed it to Xie Wenwan's hand. After drinking a glass of water, Xie Wenwan finally recovered.

"Where's the lime?"

Qing Ning is Xie Wenwan's personal maid.

"Go back to Miss Qing Ning. Madam dragged her away to be sold because she didn't take good care of her."

Xie Wenwan's face darkened slightly. Her personal maid was betrayed like this while she was unconscious.

"who are you?"

"Back to Fourth Miss, my slave girl's name is Mu Jin. She was originally a third-class maid in Madam's courtyard."

"Back to Fourth Miss, my slave girl's name is Shaoyao. She was also a third-class maid in Madam's courtyard."

"Who asked you to come?"

"Madam learned that the young lady was sick and asked us to come over and take care of the young lady."

Xie Wenwan frowned slightly: "Qing Ning is not here, what about Qing Hong, Qing Cheng, and the other people in the yard?"

The two maids looked at each other, and finally Mu Jin whispered.

"Back to Miss Fourth, Qinghong and Qingcheng were sold together with Qingning because of poor care."

Xie Wenwan's expression became even more embarrassing. Even though she had a good temper, she could no longer hold back. She was poisoned and fell into a coma. Before she could find out who was behind the scenes, the three maids around her were all betrayed without saying a word.

But at this moment, my body is weak and weak, it is not the time to make a noise.

"Go to the kitchen and call Bai Zhi over. I have something to give you."

Hibiscus Fuli walked out... Not long after, footsteps were heard, and a fair-skinned maid of fifteen or sixteen years old walked in.

Seeing Hibiscus and Shaoyao standing aside, they had no intention of going out.

"You go out and let Bai Zhi serve me."

The two little girls just left...

After the two left, Xie Wenwan stretched out her hand, and Bai Zhi stepped forward to feel her pulse. After a while, Bai Zhi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Congratulations, Miss, the poison has been cured."

"Why am I still weak all over?"

Angelica dahurica: "This medicine is not fatal. After taking it, it will only make people weak. Now that the poison has been detoxified, it will take up to twelve hours for the toxins in the young lady's body to be excreted and she will return to normal."

Xie Wenwan nodded: "Thanks to you this time. If it weren't for your carefulness, I wouldn't have known I was poisoned."

"This is the slave's duty."

Bai Zhi was very humble. Xie Wenwan was glad that she had saved Bai Zhi. Who would have thought that a girl from a small kitchen could actually know medical skills.

"Qing Ning and the three of them were sold. Please ask someone to find out their whereabouts."

After all, Xie Wenwan didn't want them to end up miserable after following him, and to investigate the poisoning, the three of them might be needed.

"Okay miss."

"Now I don't have anyone capable around me, so don't stay in the kitchen. Come and be my maid, are you willing?"

When Bai Zhi heard what Xie Wenwan said, she naturally agreed.

"Slave, please obey the lady's instructions."

After saying that, Xie Wenwan waved her hand and said she was going to rest. She would wait until her body recovered to talk about the rest.

But before she could lie down, there were noisy sounds outside the door, followed by a burst of soft footsteps. Alas, it seemed that the peace at this moment was impossible.

The door was pushed open, and Mrs. Liu, the second wife of the Xie family, walked in surrounded by several maids. She was covered in brocade and jewels, but her appearance alone was not very pleasing. She had a pair of red-phoenix triangular eyes and two curved willow leaves.

Hanging eyebrows.

There are no outsiders here, so there is no need to maintain even a superficial relationship. Xie Wenwan saw her come in and lay on the bed without moving.

Mrs. Liu looked at her stepdaughter condescendingly. She was obviously stupid and stupid before, but she suddenly became smart and clever, and she knew how to hide her clumsiness. What's even more disgusting is that now she is blocking her daughter's way.

"You didn't mean that you were about to die, so why are you still fine?"

Xie Wenwan leaned on the bed and returned casually: "You are not dead yet, how can I die before you?"

Mrs. Liu looked at Xie Wenwan bitterly and cursed in her heart, why didn't she let this little bitch die...and now she actually wants to block Wenjuan's way.

"Don't think you can really marry into the Duke's palace."

Xie Wenwan was funny: "I really thought everyone was like you, who likes to fill houses and then abuse your legitimate sons and daughters."

Mrs. Liu looked embarrassed. Filling a house was the identity she didn't want people to mention the most. No matter how much her husband respected her or how good her children were, she was still a dwarf in the circle of ladies in Shengjing because she was a stepmother.

A cut.

But now is not the time to be angry. Filling out a house in an ordinary family is indeed not a good marriage, but for someone like the Duke of Guo, who is of the highest rank and has real power, even if it is a step-in-law, it is still a good marriage.

How could such a good thing happen to a bitch like Xie Wenwan?

"Okay, since you have such disdain for the Duke's residence, then don't visit your eldest sister tomorrow, so as not to spread your illness to her."

The so-called going to the Duke's Mansion tomorrow to visit the crown prince Xie Wenrou is actually because Xie Wenrou is terminally ill and plans to choose one of her sisters from her mother's family to be the crown prince's continuation. Tomorrow is the day to see each other.
