"Brother, do you think mother will make a scene again?"

Lu Ze was also very uneasy.

They knew Lin Wan'er and knew she would never be content to be a lowly concubine.

"Why don't we go to see Mother quietly, comfort her, and let her...let her stay quiet for now, and then compensate her when we have made some progress?"

Lu Yuan was really scared, but he couldn't think of any other solution.

Lu Ze patted her hands and said, "Don't worry, sister. I will find a way."

He looked into Lu Yuan's eyes and said, "We are our father's biological children, the legitimate young master and young lady of this mansion. No one can change that."

Even if you are their own mother, don't think of ruining their future!

“Now we must behave well in front of Xiao Yunxi and get along well with Lu Zhan.

I think neither my great-grandmother nor my father would want us to meet with my mother in private.

Wait a minute."

When my mother can't bear it anymore and makes a mistake again, my great-grandmother and father will no longer tolerate her and will naturally take action.

By then, everything will be over and there will be nothing to worry about.

At worst, I can burn more paper for my mother during the festivals in the future so that she can live more comfortably in the underworld.

"Will Mother be angry with us, blaming us for having no conscience?"

Lu Yuan still felt a little reluctant.

"No, doesn't she want to see us succeed?"

Lu Ze pursed his lips and said, "We are now doing what our teacher taught us, 'sleeping on straw and tasting gall.'"

Although Lu Yuan didn't understand, he still nodded.

Because she believes in her brother, she can only trust her brother.

The brother and sister talked for a while, then went hand in hand to pay their respects to Princess Ruan.

"Princess, Master Ze and Miss Yuan are here to have dinner with you."

Ruan looked at her grandchildren who came in hand in hand, frowned slightly, and thought: Such good children, but they have such a mean mother. It would have been great if they were Xiao Yunxi's biological children.

Lu Ze and Lu Yuan were good at pleasing others and with their deliberate flattery, they coaxed Ruan into calling her their golden grandson left and right, and she was extremely happy.

The moon was rising high in the sky, illuminating the mansion at night.

Xiao Yunxi was practicing calligraphy as usual when she heard Xia He come in and report, "Princess, Liu'er is here."

Xiao Yunxi didn't raise her head, but simply ordered, "Let her in."

As soon as Liu Er entered the room, she knelt down and kowtowed, "Please, my lady, save this slave!"

Xiao Yunxi put down the pen, motioned Xia He to help him up, frowned and asked, "What happened?"

Liu'er held the handkerchief in her hand. Seeing that only Xiao Yunxi, Xia He and Chun Xiao were in the room, she told them everything she had heard at the rockery.

She bit her lip and said, "Princess, I am telling the truth. Please believe me!"

Xiao Yunxi hesitated for a moment, "Madam, do you know who it is?"

Liu Er hesitated for a moment and said hesitantly: "The voice is indeed very familiar, but I really can't figure out who it is for a while."

"Then you should go back first, and don't let Lin Wan'er notice it." Xiao Yunxi smiled and said, "Chunxiao, you arrange two strong women to follow Liu'er secretly and protect her. But you have to be careful too, understand?"

Seeing Xiao Yunxi's arrangement, Liu Er felt relieved. "Thank you, Princess. I know what to do."

Xiao Yunxi nodded.

At Xiao Yunxi's signal, Chunxiao led Liu'er away.

"Princess, can you trust Liu'er's words?"

Knowing that someone wanted to harm the princess, Xia He was still very worried.

Xiao Yunxi rubbed his forehead and said, "It is better to believe it than not to believe it."

Who is the master behind Lin Wan'er?

Lu Jingan?

"Princess, I will keep a close eye on Lin Wan'er," Xia He stepped forward to help Xiao Yunxi lie down, "You still have to go to the banquet tomorrow, so take a rest first, or your headache will come back."

"Well, there's also that nanny. Investigate carefully, starting with Lu Jingan!"

"Yes!"

Xia He blew out the lamp and went out.

The next day, Xiao Yunxi paid her respects at Shou'an Hall, and then went to the Cheng'en Marquis' Mansion for a banquet with Ruan.

Earl Cheng'en is the Queen's biological father, and today is the hundred-day banquet for Earl Cheng'en's eldest grandson. Naturally, all the important people in the capital came to congratulate him.

Xiao Yunxi was drinking and chatting with a few noble ladies she was familiar with, and before she knew it, she was a little drunk.

She got up and walked outside the hall, wanting to get some fresh air and wake up.

"Princess, let me get you a cloak. The wind is a bit cold."

Xia He helped Xiao Yunxi sit in the pavilion, gave Chun Xiao a few instructions, and left quickly.

Xiao Yunxi felt inexplicably thirsty, "Chunxiao, go get me a pot of hot tea. I'm a little thirsty."

Chun Xiao hesitated for a moment, "Princess, I will go after Xia He comes back. I am a little scared to leave you here alone."

Xiao Yunxi shook her head, "It's okay, just go and come back quickly."

Xiao Yunxi was not worried that someone would plot against her in the Cheng'en Marquis's Mansion, not to mention that she still had some kung fu skills.

Even if she was the queen, she wouldn't let anything happen to her at this time and place.

As he was thinking this, Xiao Yunxi suddenly felt that the surroundings became very quiet.

As I was hesitating, I saw a little maid coming towards me.

"My Lady, Sister Chunxiao is in a hurry, so she asked me to bring you some tea."

Xiao Yunxi nodded, took the tea, felt it was a little hot, and put it on the table.

"Princess, this is the cloud cake made by the kitchen. It goes very well with this Snow Mountain Cloud Top Tea. Would you like to try it?"

Xiao Yunxi picked up the pastry and sniffed it, smelling a faint scent of jasmine.

She smiled and said, "Put the things here, you go down first."

"Yes."

The little maid had a smile on her lips and a hint of joy in her eyes, but she stood there without moving.

Xiao Yunxi's heart skipped a beat. There was a problem!

Suddenly I felt dizzy and a warm feeling rose in my heart.

Seeing this, the maid smiled and asked, "My princess, are you feeling unwell? I'll help you find a room to rest."

Xiao Yunxi stared at her coldly, suddenly grabbed the teacup, threw it hard, picked up a piece of broken porcelain and held it in both hands, using the pain to force herself to wake up.

When she was about to collapse, she saw a man with a wretched look walking out from behind the maid.

He walked towards Xiao Yunxi step by step, and just when he was about to touch her,

There was a sharp pain in the throat.

He opened his mouth, widened his eyes and fell down.

Xiao Yunxi held a bloody piece of porcelain in her hand and stared at the little maid fiercely.

The little maid was very surprised at first. She didn't expect that Xiao Yunxi could kill people after being drugged.

But she didn't have time to think about it. Guessing that Xia He and Chun Xiao would be back soon, she had to step forward quickly and try to subdue Xiao Yunxi.

Xiao Yunxi waved the porcelain pieces with madness in her eyes!

Her body was getting hotter and hotter, and she could hardly control her desire to take off her clothes!

The little maidservant couldn't get close to Xiao Yunxi at all and was hit several times.

Just when Xiao Yunxi was about to collapse, Xia He came back.

Xia He's heart suddenly tightened, and she immediately kicked the little maid who was about to run away to the ground.

"Princess, what's wrong with you?"

Xiao Yunxi leaned on Xia He and said, "Take me back home, quickly!"

Xia He wrapped Xiao Yunxi in a cloak and prepared to go back, when she saw Mu Qingyun and Chun Xiao walking towards her.

Mu Qingyun was horrified when he saw Xiao Yunxi's listless expression and lustful look in her eyes.

Then she saw that blood was still dripping from her palm and there was a dead body lying on the ground. She almost screamed out of fright!

Chun Xiao also reacted and covered Mu Qingyun's mouth with her hand, "County Lady, don't make a sound!"

"I'll trouble you to deal with this. I'll take you back first."

Without waiting for Mu Qingyun to speak, Xia He and Chun Xiao supported Xiao Yunxi and left quickly.

Xiao Yunxi was shaking in the carriage. She bit her lips tightly and refused to make a sound.

Xia He and Chun Xiao watched anxiously from the side, but didn't know what to do.
