I'm reborn, so it's not too much to kill the one who traveled through the book, right?

Mrs. Liu had diarrhea all night, her face was as white as paper, and she lay weakly on the bed. When Gu Zhaoming got up in the morning to go on duty, he did not notice anything unusual about Mrs. Liu.

It was when Qu Lian got up in the morning and passed by the main door that she smelled a strange smell. She knocked on the door and called Liu, only to find out that something had happened to Liu.

When Chen Yuan went to the main room to visit her, the corners of his mouth almost fell down.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Chen Yuan asked with a worried look on his face.

Mrs. Liu's face turned pale and she said weakly, "Alas! I am an old woman with little luck. I have never eaten good food. I can't stand a little bit of good food in my stomach."

Chen Yuan's eyes rolled around, "Mom, I've asked Luzhu to call a doctor. When the doctor comes and prescribes some medicine, you'll be fine after taking it."

Liu rarely showed Chen Yuan a grateful look, "I knew you were a good person."

Liu never suspected that her daughter-in-law would harm her. Her son was now an official of some degree, and she felt that Chen Yuan would not dare to do the same to her as he did before.

Secondly, the daughter-in-law is also vain. If she dies in an accident, her son will have to mourn, and the daughter-in-law will no longer be an official wife.

Therefore, Liu believed that her purpose was the same as her daughter-in-law's, so she did not suspect that Chen Yuan would kill her, even though Chen Yuan had attacked her in Taohua Village.

Soon, Luzhu brought a doctor, who said that Liu had a stomach upset and prescribed some medicine, saying that she would be fine after a few days of rest.

After the doctor left, Chen Yuan asked Luzhu to boil the medicine and returned to the east wing alone.

After returning to the room, Chen Yuan was so happy that he almost laughed out loud.

This damn old woman, if you can't eat all by yourself, you won't die!

Although this old woman always complains about pain all the time, she knows that she is in very good health and rarely gets sick.

The old woman seldom fell ill, so Chen Yuan decided to take her life while she was ill.

………………

On the day the banquet at Pingyang Marquis' Mansion ended, Shen Rong gave an extra month's salary to all the servants in the mansion.

The banquet ended successfully and Shen Rong felt relieved.

But she didn't expect that before she could breathe a sigh of relief, the next morning, Xiao Chen took Chen Zhier to Minghui Courtyard and asked the lady to make the decision and let Changsheng take Chen Zhier as a concubine.

Originally, this matter was kept secret from Shen Rong, but Qiuxia, that little girl, had such a good relationship with the servants in each courtyard that the maid in Minghui Courtyard overheard the news and immediately ran to Minghui Courtyard to find Qiuxia to report the news.

Qiuxia told Shen Rong about the matter immediately.

After hearing the news, Shen Rong felt relieved.

"Madam, why are you still standing there? Let's go to Minghui Courtyard!" Chun Xing couldn't help but urge.

Shen Rong sighed and said, "I can't go. If I rush over now, I will not only be known as jealous, but I will also have no room for maneuver when it comes to taking a concubine."

After all, Xiao Chen is her nominal mother-in-law, even if she and Changsheng do not recognize her.

"What should I do?"

At this time, Changsheng was not at home. He took advantage of the fact that watermelons were very popular at yesterday's banquet and started selling watermelons in the shop today. Changsheng went to the farm early in the morning and watched the farmers picking watermelons.

Shen Rong thought for a moment and said, "Go find Xiaoshu and ask him to tell the Marquis about this. Let him know that I don't want him to take a concubine. Let's see what he chooses!"

If Changsheng took a concubine against her will, at worst she would just give up being the marquis's wife and go back to Taohua Village to be a local doctor.

After all, she doesn't rely on her status as a marquis's wife to make a living.

As for Changsheng's kindness, now that he is rich and powerful, he doesn't need her to do anything for him anymore.

"Yes, I will go to the front yard and guard it now!"

After saying that, Chun Xing hurried to the second gate.

When Qiuxia saw Chunxing leave, she hurriedly waited at the door of the main house.

Shen Rong actually had no confidence in the matter of Changsheng taking a concubine.

All she relied on was that magical space and the friendship with Changsheng. She had no other advantages at all.

Since Changsheng became the son of a marquis, Shen Rong didn't dare to think about him taking a concubine, nor did she want to think about it, but now that things have come to this, she still has to face reality.

She remembered that when she was in the village, Old Man Wang from the neighboring village harvested several extra stones of millet during the autumn harvest and was clamoring to take a concubine. Now that he has grown up and become a marquis, it is natural for him to take a concubine.

As long as Changsheng is willing.

This passive feeling was very uncomfortable for Shen Rong.

Shen Rong felt a little annoyed. She thought for a while and took out an exquisite headband from the embroidery basket.

"I don't know when this headband was embroidered. Let's send it to the lady." After saying that, she wrapped up the headband.

Shen Rong didn't want to wait passively. She was afraid that while she was waiting, the lady would decide to let Changsheng take a concubine.

She had to do something.

When the master and servant arrived at Minghui Courtyard, Xiao Chen and Chen Zhier had not left yet.

When Xiao Chen saw Shen Rong, she immediately stopped talking. She looked at her with a slight curl of the lips, as if she looked down on this country girl.

When the lady saw Shen Rong, her expression was as kind as ever.

After Shen Rong paid her respects to the lady-in-waiting, she pretended not to have seen Xiao Chen and motioned for Qiuxia to take out the things.

Her behavior of ignoring Xiao Chen made her very angry.

Xiao Chen sat aside and glared at Shen Rong secretly several times.

Shen Rong pretended not to see Xiao Chen's expression. She took the headband from Qiuxia's hand and handed it to the lady.

"Madam, this was sewn by my granddaughter-in-law during this period of time. It was just finished today and I sent it to you."

Before the Madam could say anything, Little Chen burst out laughing, "Puchi... I am dying of laughter. Who would wear a headband in the hot summer? Don't you consider the season when giving gifts?"

Shen Rong looked at the Madam and said ashamedly, "It's my granddaughter-in-law's fault. I saw that the temperature difference between morning and evening is big after the beginning of spring, so I made this headband for you to wear morning and night. But I was too busy a few days ago, so I forgot..."

The lady smiled, took the headband and praised, "You are thoughtful. The embroidery is good."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen covered her mouth with a handkerchief and laughed, "Mother, what you said made me laugh to death. There are a lot of embroiderers like this out there. Is it worth your praise?"

The lady glared at little Chen.

Shen Rong smiled slightly, "Since the old lady said so, she must be a great embroiderer. It just so happens that the Guanyin statue in the lady's temple is old, how about the old lady embroidering a new one for her? It will also show her filial piety."

The smile on Mrs. Chen’s face paused.

The statue of Guanyin in her mother-in-law's Buddhist temple was six feet tall and four feet wide. Inside the statue, there was a lotus platform, many colorful auspicious clouds, and a golden halo covering the entire portrait.

If she were asked to embroider such a Guanyin image by herself, it would take at least three years for her to work all day long.

When Xiao Chen thought of this, her face turned pale.

During those years, the family was in financial difficulty, and she and the old marquis wore clothes for all four seasons herself.

If it is an ordinary family, there is no need to embroider, and clothes are easy to make.

But no matter how poor the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion was, the clothes they wore when going out could not be like those of the peasants, plain and simple.
