After rebirth, she turned around and married the emperor's uncle and tore the scumbag apart

With Su Lingyue's comfort, Qin Wanning's mood gradually calmed down and she regained her fighting spirit.

"Qiu Wen, go call Cui Liu." Qin Wan Ning ordered.

"Yes, Madam." Qiu Wen responded and quietly left the room.

After a while, Cui Liu came.

At this moment, Qin Wan Ning still looked pale.

She sat upright, her usually gentle and peaceful face now looking stern. She stared sharply at Cui Liu, with an indescribable sense of oppression between her brows.

The Princess of Prince Su sat side by side with her, and the aura they exuded made her feel a chill involuntarily.

Cui Liu looked at Qin Wan Ning, who was always kind and even a little cowardly. Her expression today was completely different from usual, and she also noticed something strange.

"Young Madam?" Cui Liu bowed and tried to speak.

"Cui Liu, do you admit your guilt?" Qin Wan Ning's voice was very soft, but every word she spoke was clear and revealed a coldness, and it was loud and clear.

Cui Liu's heart tightened, and she realized something, but she quickly rejected her idea subconsciously, pulled the corners of her mouth and forced a smile: "Young Madam, I wonder what you are talking about?"

Her hands twisted together unconsciously, and she looked away guiltily, not daring to meet Qin Wanning's gaze.

Qin Wan Ning's eyes were as cold as stars. He stared at her closely and scolded her sternly, "Don't you know what I mean? How dare you replace the medicine I take daily and try to harm me!"

Hearing her say this, I knew Cui Liu knew that what she had done had been exposed.

She had never seen Qin Wan Ning speak so harshly before, and she was so scared that she fell to her knees on the ground.

"Young Madam, it's unfair! I have never changed your medicine. Please be discerning and don't wrongly accuse me!" Cui Liu defended herself in a crying voice, as if she had suffered great injustice.

She wanted to struggle again, after all, words were not enough.

Seeing this, Qin Wan Ning snorted coldly and said in a deep voice: "Do you still want to deny it?! I have ordered people to collect the medicine you sent recently and the medicine residue you quietly poured out. Besides, you have been in charge of making medicine recently. Now, I will send people to Jingzhao Prefecture to report. There are many torture instruments in the prison. I want to see how long you can keep your mouth shut!"

After saying that, Qin Wan Ning immediately ordered Qiu Wen who was standing beside him: "Go to Jingzhao Prefecture and report it immediately!"

Hearing Qin Wan Ning say this, Cui Liu began to tremble. She knocked her head heavily on the ground and begged in a trembling voice, "Madam, spare me! Madam told me to do this!"

Qin Wanning frowned, his expression solemn, and said sternly: "Don't implicate others. How could my mother treat me like this? You must have ulterior motives!"

Cui Liu kowtowed and explained: "How dare I speak nonsense? Madam said that as long as I can prevent you from getting pregnant for the rest of your life, I will have reason to divorce you. Then..."

"So what?" Qin Wan Ning asked coldly.

Cui Liu stammered, "Let me be... the prince's concubine." She still maintained the posture of bowing her head, not daring to stand up and look directly at Qin Wan Ning.

Qin Wan Ning's pretty and gentle face was tense. Although she had known it for a long time, when she heard someone else say it with her own ears, her hands holding the handkerchief could not stop shaking.

Su Lingyue gently held Qin Wanning's hand to comfort her.

At the same time, she turned to Cui Liu and asked, "You said that it was Madam He who asked you to do it. Do you have any evidence? Don't tell me you are just randomly blaming Madam He just to get away with it!"

Cui Liu said hurriedly, "I'm not talking nonsense. I always go to the Jishi Pharmacy on North Street to get medicine. The guys there all know me."

Qin Wanning's nails had sunk deeply into her palms. Su Lingyue secretly pried her fingers apart to prevent her from hurting herself.

Su Lingyue looked at Cui Liu and began to attack her heart, "You said Madam He wants you to be the prince's concubine. Can you believe her?"

Cui Liu knelt silently, maintaining the posture of kowtowing, and after a long while she said, "Madam is very good to me. She knows that I like the prince but she didn't punish me. She even gave me extra money and jewelry..."

Her voice grew quieter.

She hadn't finished her words, but it was obvious that the benefits that Mrs. He had given her were definitely more than that, which was why she believed in Mrs. He so firmly.

He also used the temptation of being a concubine from a famous family to make her willing to work for him even at the risk of death for poisoning the family of an imperial official.

"Cui Liu, please stand up."

After hearing Su Lingyue's words, Cui Liu hesitated for a moment, but slowly stood up and looked at Su Lingyue.

"I can understand you. Once you become Mr. He's concubine, your status and position will be different. Besides, Mr. He is elegant and handsome, so it's normal for you to be tempted."

Su Lingyue spoke gently with a faint smile on her face, looking very kind.

However, the next moment, Su Lingyue's smile changed, with a hint of teasing, "Are you so sure that Madam He will fulfill her promise and let you become Mr. He's concubine?"

Cui Liu stared at Su Lingyue, her expression dazed. She really didn't understand why the Su Prince's wife asked such a question. However, after the Su Prince's wife mentioned it, she also had some doubts in her heart.

Seeing the change in Cui Liu's expression, Su Lingyue curled her lips slightly, "How about we verify it?"

Madam He was sitting in her own Maohua Courtyard. Nanny Li took the tea brought by the maid and poured it for Madam He.

Mrs. He sighed happily, "After so long, I'm finally going to get what I want!"

She took the tea from Li Ma Ma, took a sip, immersed in the tea fragrance in her mouth, and slowly savored it: "The tea brewed with this snow water is still the most refreshing."

Nanny Li looked at her with a trace of pity on her face, and asked softly, "Miss, I can understand that you are doing this for the He and Jia families, but... Young Madam has always respected you, are you sure you want to do this?"

Madam He's eyes, which were still smiling just now, suddenly turned cold. She looked at Nanny Li and said coldly, "If she hadn't instigated Yulin to stop him from taking a concubine, I wouldn't have to do this. If anyone wants to blame someone, it's only because she is too ruthless!"

Nanny Li sighed softly, but didn't say anything more.

At this time, the maid outside came in and reported, "Madam, Qiu Wen said that the young mistress wants to invite you to Qinfang Courtyard again."

Mrs. He frowned slightly, wondering what Qin Wan Ning wanted to say next. Thinking of the victory that was just around the corner, she stood up and walked out of Maohua Courtyard.

When I walked into the bedroom of Qinfang Courtyard, Qin Wan Ning had already gotten up from the bed, and her face still looked very bad.

Su Lingyue is not here anymore.

Madam He put away her indifference, put on a loving look, and chuckled, "Wan Ning, I heard Qiu Wen say that you came to see me, are you feeling unwell again?"

"No, thank you for making another trip, mother. I have something to discuss with you." Qin Wan Ning was about to get up to greet Mrs. He.

Mrs. He strode over and helped her sit down. "You are so considerate. I don't feel tired no matter how many times you run."

After they both sat down, Mrs. He asked, "What does Wan Ning want to discuss with me?"

After Qin Wan Ning let Qiu Wen leave, she said with a trace of sadness in her eyes, "My mother had said before that she wanted my husband to take a concubine, but my husband declined all of them because he was afraid that I would be sad. Now my body... I don't know if I can still get pregnant."

As he spoke, a tear fell from his eye.

Madam He kindly comforted her, "Wan Ning, don't think too much. The doctor said that as long as you keep taking the medicine, you still have a chance. I didn't know the truth before, and I won't mention letting Yulin take a concubine in the future."

Qin Wan Ning wiped away her tears and continued, "Mother, I asked you to come here this time for this matter. I don't know when I can get pregnant, and I can't let my husband delay the birth of the eldest grandson of the He family, so I want to take a concubine for my husband, and I want to ask for your consent."

Mrs. He was a little surprised, and then she looked embarrassed, "Wan Ning, you are really considerate, I am very relieved, but Yulin..."

Qin Wan Ning comforted him, "Don't worry, mother. I will go and persuade my husband. And she is from the mansion. I have already agreed with her that if she gives birth to a child, she will be raised by me. I'm sure my husband will not refuse."

Madam He frowned slightly, "You mean the people in the mansion?"

Qin Wan Ning raised the corner of her mouth slightly, "Yes, my mother will definitely like this person, Cui Liu."

Madam He's face darkened when she heard this, and she said angrily, "No, even if Yulin takes a concubine, she can't be a maid!"

Qin Wan Ning explained carefully, "But Cui Liu is not only good-looking, but also knows everything about you. If she is familiar with my husband, it would be easy for us to develop feelings for her..."

"Wan Ning!"

Before Qin Wan Ning could finish, Madam He scolded her, "Yulin is the grandson of the imperial tutor after all. Even if he takes a concubine, it will be the daughter of an official in the court, not a maid!"

As if she realized that her words were too harsh, Madam He softened her attitude and chuckled, "Wan Ning, I'm glad you're so sensible. Don't worry about taking a concubine. I'll choose one for Yulin."

Qin Wan Ning nodded obediently, "I'll listen to my mother."

Having achieved her wish, Mrs. He left the bedroom with a smile on her face, supported by Nanny Li.

Cui Liu followed Su Lingyue in from outside with a pale face.

The sleeves had already been wrinkled by her.

"Do you believe it?" Su Lingyue asked in a deep voice.

Cui Liu clenched her hands and remained silent.

"I have another guess."

Su Lingyue continued, "You are the evidence that she is plotting to murder her daughter-in-law. Do you think she will let someone who threatens her stay with her son? Once this matter is exposed, she will be despised by the world. So it is very likely that after your young lady gets into trouble, you will be the next one!"

Cui Liu’s face became paler.

"After all, it's easier to kill a maid than a concubine!"

After hearing Su Lingyue's words, Cui Liu's will built on silence finally collapsed in an instant.

She fell to her knees with a plop, tears streaming down her face, and she grabbed Qin Wanning's skirt to confess.

"Madam, I know I was wrong!"

"I was bewildered and harmed you. I am willing to work like a slave for you, please spare my life."

Qin Wan Ning looked down at her and said coldly, "It's not impossible to spare your life, but that depends on whether you can be of use to me."

Cui Liu was delighted when she heard Qin Wan Ning say this, "I do."
