“She harmed you.” Zi Wei’s eyes flashed with a sudden hint of killing intent.
“No big deal. Tonight, we’ll visit her.”
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 Shulan’s cup into the cup she brought.
Zi Wei noticed that the cup she brought was heavily wrapped, and she didn’t even touch the cup with her fingers.
He asked mildly, “Why?”
Su Yingxue was lying on the beam with him. When she saw Liu Shulan drink the cup of honey water, she chuckled and said, “That cup was used by Lai San.”
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 Pavilion…
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, “Hong Lian has appeared.”
Su Yingxue nodded. “Let’s go and meet her.”
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. “Mother, how did you become ?! How did 1 get infected with this deadly plague? I… I’m scared!”
Su Yingxue’s 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. “She’s indeed the person who poisoned Lai San. She immediately cured the poison.”
Hong Lian had brought Saint Ruan’s antidote for Liu Shulan. However, when she saw Liu Shulan’s scarred face, she frowned. “Could it be that you were careless and contracted the deadly plague?”
Liu Shulan shook her head vigorously. “That’s impossible. 1 didn’t 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 shouldn’t get infected!”
“Did you deliberately harm my mother? You took so much money from us and caused my mother to get sick!” Su Yurou dared not get close. She hid behind the folding screen and cried out.
A sudden murderous intent gathered in Hong Lian’s eyes.
Liu Shulan quickly tried to smooth things over. “My daughter said it unintentionally. I hope that Pavilion Master will not take it to heart because of her young age. It’s just that my illness is really strange. Pavilion Master, please forgive me!”
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 Yingxue’s medical center. As for the things she had used…
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. “This is the teacup I use every night for honey water.”
Hong Lian’s eyes revealed a trace of disdain as she threw the cup in front of her. “This is Su Yingxue’s gift to you.”
When the inconspicuous porcelain cup rolled in front of Liu Shulan, the words ‘Tongchang Medical Center’ were engraved on the bottom of the cup.
Liu Shulan was shocked. “Su Yingxue!”
She could actually change the cup she drank from. How terrifying was that?
“Mother, it’s Su Yingxue who harmed you? This b*tch! Let’s go back and tell father to kill her!” Su Yurou shouted angrily.
“Kill her?” Hong Lian chuckled. “Madam Liu, your daughter is vicious, but she’s stupid and ignorant. Silver Moon Pavilion doesn’t do business with stupid people. In the future, there’s no need for you to come to the Silver Moon Pavilion..”
