At this time, Yunyi also came back.

He came back with a bag of boiled medicine residue and a look of panic on his face.

"Young lady asked me to keep an eye on the herbs, and sure enough, something went wrong," she put the bag of dregs on the table. "I was boiling the herbs myself, keeping an eye on them, but suddenly Sister Yunshuang, who was serving the old lady, came and told me that the old lady was feeling unwell, and asked me to ask you to come."

"I felt strange at the time. If something happened to the old lady, Yunshuang would have to come to Jingying Residence to find the girl first. Why would she go through such a big detour? But I didn't want to alert the enemy, so I just hid aside and watched quietly."

Yun Yi moved the bag of medicinal residue away. "I don't know what Yun Shuang secretly put in there. These medicinal residues are exactly the same as before. But if there is nothing wrong with these medicinal materials, why would Yun Shuang specially send this servant away?"

Li Qingqian looked at the bag of medicine residue and frowned slightly.

The tears on Yun Shang's face had not yet dried, and she immediately reacted, "Is there something wrong with Yun Shuang?"

"Maybe there are more than just problems," Li Qingqian said softly, "Yun Shang, when did Yun Shuang follow grandma?"

Yun Shang thought for a moment and said, "It was after the young lady left Beijing. She is a few years older than us, and her behavior is also pleasing to the old lady. Moreover, Yun Shuang's eyebrows and eyes are a little like you, young lady, so the old lady likes her very much and trusts her very much."

"Who sent her to her grandmother?"

"I don't know about this. I was young at that time, but I remember a lot," Yun Shang had a bad feeling in her heart, "Yun Shuang seemed to have suddenly appeared in the old lady's courtyard, and no one knew where she came from."

Li Qingqian's heart was filled with alarm. "My grandmother missed me, so she favored her. If someone had chosen her and sent her to my grandmother right before I left Beijing, then it would make sense why my grandmother had been bedridden for so many years."

Yunyi and Yunshang looked at each other and lowered their voices and asked, "Young lady, are you suspicious of Liu?"

"Who else could it be other than her?" Li Qingqian's eyes were filled with anger.

She looked out the window and saw that night was slowly falling.

"Yun Shang, you are used to serving grandma, so you know her living habits better. Go to my storehouse. You should be able to find the herbs you need in the betrothal gifts sent by the Shen family. Go get them, and then follow Ah Ning's instructions before and make a bowl of new medicine for grandma. Remember, you must watch her drink it with your own eyes."

"Yunyi, go find Yunshuang and tell Grandmother that I'm curious about how much this girl resembles me. But don't let Liu find out."

After the two of them responded and went out, a cold light flashed in Li Qingqian's eyes.

A quarter of an hour later, Yunshuang followed Yunyi to Jingyingju with reluctance on her face.

"I'm not saying anything, what is Third Miss doing? The old lady is still ill, and she wants to call the servants from her side to have fun?"

Yun Yi was very dissatisfied with her weird attitude, but she still tried to be polite. "The girl is about to get married, so she should know her limits. Sister Yun Shuang, it is really rude for us servants to talk behind our master's back."

"Humph," Yun Shuang looked at her with disdain and snorted, "You look like a lackey! Don't think we can't see what kind of person your daughter is!"

"Oh, then tell me, what kind of person am I?" A cold voice sounded, and Li Qingqian's figure appeared in the yard.

Yun Shuang couldn't answer for a moment, but she didn't want to bow to Li Qingqian. She just stood in the yard with her back straight, looking proud and stubborn.

Li Qingqian didn't argue with her too much about this matter, and directly ordered Yunyi: "Yunyi, bring her in for me!"

Yunshuang was about to stick her neck out to retort, saying that she was not an object, so why should she use the word "carry"?

But before she could say anything, Yun Yi grabbed her by the back of the collar and walked into the main hall.

Yun Yi had lived with Li Qingqian in the countryside for several years, so his hands were quite strong. After Yun Shuang was dragged into the main hall, her face had turned the color of liver.

But Li Qingqian didn't even bother to let go. Instead, she slowly poured herself a cup of tea before nodding at Yun Yi.

After Yun Shuang recovered her breath, she took a few deep breaths. After regaining consciousness, she opened her eyes wide and glared at Li Qingqian fiercely, "Third Miss, you are so presumptuous!"

"Pa!" Yun Yi slapped her in the face.

Li Qingqian took a sip of tea calmly, and didn't seem to intend to scold Yun Yi.

"Third Miss, you just indulge her to be so unruly...ah!"

"Pah!" Another slap.

"Third Miss, you..." "Bang!"

"Third Miss..." "Pah!"

After going back and forth like this for more than ten times, Yun Shuang finally dared not to be presumptuous again, and tremblingly said: "This servant was wrong, this servant will not dare to do it again, please spare my life, Third Miss!"

Li Qingqian then put down the teacup, her lips curled slightly, "I'm actually very curious. I've been away from Beijing for three years, and I've been busy with my wedding less than two months after returning home. What did I do to make the people serving my grandmother treat me so maliciously?"

Yun Shuang avoided the gaze and lowered her head without saying a word.

"I asked you to speak, but you don't want to say anything?" Yun Yi stood aside and said with a stern face.

Forget it. Since she wants to ask, what can I not say? Yun Shuang gritted her teeth and vented her dissatisfaction with Li Qingqian in her heart: "Third Miss, it was the Fourth Miss who brought people to Chengning River to pick you up and bring you back to the mansion. The servants in the mansion also saw it at that time. It was you who jumped into the river to save the poor scholar. It was obviously you who was ruined. But this shabby marriage fell on the head of the Fourth Miss. It is obvious that you coveted the marriage of the Zhenguogong Mansion and deliberately framed the Fourth Miss!"

Li Qingqian tapped the table with her fingers. "That day, it was Li Shuyue who rushed to agree to this marriage. I did nothing."

"You didn't do anything, but I just know that you are not a good person!" Yun Shuang suddenly felt a sense of justice and stood up from the ground, staring at Li Qingqian sternly.

"Evidence." She said the two words neither lightly nor heavily.

Yun Shuang couldn't say anything, her eyes wandered for a while, and then she repeated firmly: "I just know it! You are not a good person, why do you need any evidence?"

Hum, that's quite interesting.

"You said I'm not a good person, but you can't provide evidence, that's slander," Li Qingqian looked at her, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, but the dangerous look in his eyes did not diminish at all, "You are a lowly person, and you slandered the daughter of an official. According to Dawei's laws, I can directly pull out your tongue and throw you out of the mansion."
