Yanran couldn't stop her tears, but she took Liu Yaoyao's words to heart.

She quickly adjusted her mood and was no longer pessimistic and sad.

However, the matter between Chang Xuewei and Liu Yaoyao was like a mountain pressing down on her head. No matter how hard she tried to adjust her mood, she still felt a sense of pressure on her.

She was young and couldn't understand what was going on, but she felt her eyes were sore and tears were like a spring that she wanted to burst out all at once.

No matter how hard she tried to wipe away her tears, they couldn't be wiped away. She could only lie in Liu Yaoyao's arms and cry silently.

Liu Yaoyao listened to Yanran's crying and didn't know what she was thinking about. She stopped trying to persuade her and just hugged her, letting her cry silently.

After an hour, Yanran's eyes were red and swollen from crying. She finally stopped crying and looked at Liu Yaoyao embarrassedly.

"Sister Yaoyao, I'm sorry. I made things difficult for you."

As she spoke, she grabbed Liu Yaoyao's sleeve and looked at her eagerly, as if waiting for her comfort, but the eagerness in her eyes showed otherwise.

Liu Yaoyao noticed the change in her eyes and knew what she was thinking.

After a long silence, Liu Yaoyao asked, "Yanran, do you regard Madam as your mother?"

Yanran was stunned by the question and didn't respond for a long time.

Liu Yaoyao looked at Yanran with extremely sympathetic eyes, her lips moved slightly as if she wanted to say something, but thinking of Yanran's life experience, she had to hold her words back.

She just wiped her cheeks gently, as if she wanted to wipe away all the traces of tears on her face.

Yanran met her extremely gentle eyes, and although the emotions spreading in her heart were uncontrollable, they also made her understand some things.

She said to Liu Yaoyao solemnly: "Madam is very good to me. She takes care of me like a mother. I have no memory of my mother since I was a child. Madam's existence completely fills this gap and also makes me know what it feels like to have a loving mother."

"But even so, I know in my heart that Madam is not my mother. She is your savior and my benefactor. I can worship her like an ancestor, but I cannot respect her like a mother. Otherwise, all kinds of gossip will destroy Madam and I."

Yanran's background is unknown, and she is born with the ability to control poisonous insects, so in the eyes of many people she is a disaster star who will bring disaster to others.

Chang Xuewei suffered a lot when she was young, and now she finally lives a good life under Liu Yaoyao's care. How could Yanran let herself implicate her, so she could not treat Chang Xuewei as her mother.

"Silly girl, Madam won't mind this. You just need to find an opportunity to explain it to Madam."

When Liu Yaoyao heard Yanran's words, she knew what she was thinking and felt very uncomfortable.

Yanran is talented, well-behaved and sensible. Liu Yaoyao really treats her as her own sister and hopes that she can live a normal life.

But those who swear allegiance to their master with her have a grudge against Yanran and try to exclude her from time to time.

In order to protect Yanran, Liu Yaoyao could only keep her by her side and keep an eye on her at all times.

Chang Xuewei is her savior and she also likes Yanran very much. Over time, it is normal for Yanran to secretly regard Chang Xuewei as her mother.

However, Yanran bears the reputation of being a disaster star. Even if Chang Xuewei doesn't mind, she is happy to see it happen. Others are worried about accidents and will try to prevent the two from becoming mother and daughter.

Yanran is innocent and naive in more ways than just this. Liu Yaoyao and Chang Xuewei are very clear about this. They are silently taking care of Yanran and not letting her worry about this matter. They just want her to be happy and comfortable.

Now Yanran was crying sadly because of Chang Xuewei's matter. Liu Yaoyao knew what was going on after a little thought.

She pointed out this matter in front of Yanran because she also wanted Yanran to understand her emotions, so that she would be more calm and composed when facing Wan Shufang in the future and would not be fooled by her frivolous words.

In other words, Liu Yaoyao had selfish motives, just because Yanran had a great liking for Wan Shufang.

Worried that Wan Shufang would start with Yanran, and thus Yanran would reveal the matter to Wan Shufang unknowingly, Liu Yaoyao could only think of ways to change Yanran's mind.

"Go see the lady. She has been feeling unwell lately. If you take care of her, she will feel much better."

As Liu Yaoyao's thoughts turned, she felt sorry for Yanran in her heart, but she did not show the slightest bit on her face. She just gently advised her to stay with Chang Xuewei, while she continued to coordinate the overall situation and investigate how Chen Changli tracked down the "opium".

She had actually found some clues before, but since the matter involved Chang Xuewei, she had some bad guesses in her mind, so she decided to check it again.

If the investigation continues to lead to Chang Xuewei this time, she will not blame Chang Xuewei, but will only blame everything on Wan Shufang, blaming her for using all means to deceive such an innocent woman like Chang Xuewei.

Liu Yaoyao's little thoughts were quite obvious. The people who followed her orders to investigate the matter vaguely sensed her thoughts, and none of them put much effort into this investigation.

So in less than a day, Liu Yaoyao wanted to vent all her anger on Wan Shufang. Coincidentally, at this time, the news of Chen Changli arresting people who took "opium" was reported back.

When she saw the news, her face turned green with anger. "Is Chen Changli trying to cut off the source of the trouble? Why doesn't he think about the emperor's intention? Without the emperor's connivance, those civil and military officials would not dare to allow 'opium' to circulate in Luoyang City even if they were brave enough."

When the butler came in and heard Liu Yaoyao's words, he said with disapproval: "The emperor doesn't know what harm 'Afurong' will cause, so he can naturally allow people who are loyal to him to make a lot of money with it."

"But Chen Changli is not a fool. He must know how harmful this medicine is. That's why he ignored the emperor's thoughts and forcefully arrested people."

"Miss Liu, what we should do now is not to scold Chen Changli for meddling in other people's business, but to find a way to stop him. Otherwise, when the emperor realizes the harm of 'Afurong', our plans for the past few years will be ruined."

'Ofurong' is a magical medicine that they refined a few years ago. They knew what kind of changes this magical medicine would bring to people, so they used money to bribe many officials to turn a blind eye to the circulation of this magical medicine.

Later, some officials realized the money-making ability of "Ofurong" and began to cooperate with them in earnest, allowing "Ofurong" to erode the bodies of many nobles in just one year.

Liu Yaoyao and Prince Rong saw the power of "Ofurong" with their own eyes, and naturally came up with the idea of ​​using "Ofurong" to firmly control the officialdom of Dajing. This is why He Zhiming took other poison masters to study the upgraded version of "Ofurong".

The Phoenix Gu that the emperor needs is actually this upgraded version of "Ofurong".

Listening to the housekeeper's words, Liu Yaoyao had an extremely bold idea in her mind.

"If Chen Changli really has the guts to go against the whole court, we should do our best to support him. How can we stop him?"
