Ye Yunzi raised her hand to signal Zhilan to pause and said coldly, "Go on."

"We said that Yunrou Courtyard has bad feng shui, and we must move to the East Courtyard to keep mother and child safe... Really, we didn't do anything else! Please spare my life, girl, we really didn't do anything..." The man cried with tears streaming down his face, and his whole body was shaking like a sieve.

"Who ordered you to do this?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the woodshed suddenly became quiet. The faces of the Feng Shui master and the man changed color at the same time. They were so scared that they dared not speak again.

If the lady of the Shen Mansion knew about this, even their ten lives combined would not be enough to pay the compensation. What's more, they had deceived the master of the Shen Mansion. If the truth was revealed, they would be punished by skinning!

"This……"

"Why don't you tell the truth?" Zhilan said coldly, and a sharp short knife flashed from her sleeve, with a gleaming blade and a chilling aura. The Feng Shui master shuddered when he saw it, "Mercy...Mercy!"

"It's Madam Jiaojiao. Madam Jiaojiao gave us twenty taels of silver! As long as we put on a show, the silver will be ours!"

The Feng Shui master confessed everything at once. At this moment, the most important thing was to save his life and he couldn't care about anything else.

"Hmph." Ye Yunzi sneered. She had already guessed some of Jiaojiao's methods.

Zhilan glanced at Ye Yunzi, asking with her eyes what to do with these two guys next.

Ye Yunzi shook her head secretly and said coldly: "You are still smart. If you keep talking tough, you won't be so lucky. There are two corpses lying on the ground."

She reached into her sleeve, pulled out a small bag and threw it at the Feng Shui master's feet.

The Feng Shui master stared at the bag in a daze, not understanding what was going on.

"Let them go."

"..." Zhilan frowned slightly, but still followed Ye Yunzi's instructions and cut the ropes that tied the two people with one knife.

The Feng Shui master saw a flash of knife, which narrowly brushed past the edge of his clothes but left him unscathed. The rope loosened and he was free.

This...what is going on?

Ye Yunzi said coldly: "I have something I need you to do."

"Miss, what can I do for you?" The Feng Shui master swallowed his saliva and opened the bag with trembling hands. The white silver inside almost blinded his eyes.

My goodness, this must be over a hundred taels! It feels heavy just by weighing it!

"Girl, this..." His heart was beating so fast that it was about to jump out.

People die for money and birds die for food.

Faced with so much silver, the Feng Shui master was so overwhelmed that he no longer remembered Jiaojiao's instructions. Now whoever gave the silver was the boss.

After finishing this business, I will have enough money to buy a piece of land in a small town, build a small house, and marry and have children.

"Do as I say and I'll ensure you'll be safe." Ye Yunzi ordered coldly.

The Feng Shui master agreed repeatedly, his hands still shaking, "It's all at the young lady's command. I will go through fire and water, too."

……

Ye Yunzi leisurely got on the carriage and returned to the Shen Mansion. No one knew about this little episode, and no one could guess it.

In the next few days, the Shen Mansion was as peaceful as water. Jiaojiao knew that she would have to give up Yunrou Courtyard eventually, so she was in an unexpectedly good mood and did not come to cause trouble.

In Yunrou Courtyard, no one mentioned the matter of relocation anymore. Ye Yunzi continued to tend to her flowers and plants. Those flowers were extremely gorgeous and their fragrance was intoxicating.

"Miss, are we really not moving?" Yu Shu was worried, afraid that the master would get angry. After all, the last time there was a big scene.

Ye Yunzi held a wooden clip, gently picked a petal and placed it on a delicate little plate.

"No need." She said in a light tone. How could she let anyone close to her suffer any injustice in this life.

"When the time comes, the truth will come out. Jiaojiao wants to use a trick to deal with us, Yunrouyuan, huh, let's give them a taste of their own medicine!" Ye Yunzi's mouth curled up, but her smile was a little cold.

Yu Shu didn't understand what the young lady said for a moment, until the afternoon when a panicked news came from the small courtyard.

Jiaojiao suddenly fainted and has not woken up yet.

Shen Yuming hurriedly invited a famous doctor from the capital. Jiaojiao fell into a coma for no apparent reason and her breath was weak, which made him extremely anxious.

"Auntie...Auntie..." Hongyun was so panicked that her eyes were filled with tears. "Second Master, Auntie was fine before. We drank tea together, and then she fell down."

Shen Yuming was in a state of confusion. Looking at the pale and colorless face, the crying sound in his ears made him upset.

"Stop crying!" he growled.

Hong Yun was stunned and stopped crying out of fear. Shen Yuming's face looked gloomy and frightening at this moment.

"When the doctor comes, you will understand."

……

The news of Jiaojiao's coma in Xiaozhuyuan also reached Yunrouyuan. Ye Yunzi remained calm after hearing it. She looked at the transparent liquid mixed with flower petals and herbs in front of her, and thought that it would be strange if Jiaojiao didn't have any problems after taking it for these days.

"Jiaojiao, this is retribution!" Yu Shu said excitedly.

"Pfft..." Ye Yunzi couldn't help laughing, then waved her hand, "Go to the side door to greet the two guests."

"Guests? Is there anyone coming to visit today?"

Ye Yunzi lowered her eyes, skillfully hiding the coldness in her eyes, "Yes, you are truly an extremely distinguished guest."

……

After a thorough examination, the experienced doctor frowned, his eyes full of confusion. Finally, he shook his head helplessly: "I am not very skilled, and I really can't tell what disease the lady has. The lady's pulse is normal, and there is nothing wrong with the fetus in her belly. She shouldn't have suddenly fallen into a coma."

Other doctors also shook their heads, saying they were helpless.

Shen Yuming was furious. The patient had been in a coma for such a long time, but they couldn't even find out the cause of the illness. What was going on?

He almost blurted out the word "quack"!

Hongyun was wiping her tears, her eyes red. Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind, and she quickly asked the maid to serve the lunch snacks.

"Doctor, could it be poisoning?"

Hongyun's mind immediately emerged with the recent tranquility of Yunrou Courtyard and the fact that Ye Yunzi and the others had no intention of moving. Could it be that they had planned this in advance? Would Ye Yunzi, this cunning woman, poison them?

"Hongyun, what nonsense are you talking about! Who dares to attack Jiaojiao?"

"Sir, I'm just worried. My aunt fell into a coma after eating the snacks. This snack is very suspicious!" She complained crying.

Shen Yuming didn't say much, just listened silently.

At this time, a figure hurried in, with a bit of worry: "Husband, I heard that Jiaojiao is in a coma..."

Ye Yunzi looked anxious, and her acting was almost indistinguishable from the real thing.

"My aunt has been suffering from insomnia and anxiety these days. We were planning to move out of Yunrou Courtyard to let her feel at ease, but who would have thought that my aunt would suddenly collapse."

When Shen Yuming saw that it was Ye Yunzi, he just nodded slightly without saying a word.

Hong Yun felt disgusted when he saw Ye Yunzi coming, and quickly signaled the doctor to carefully check the snacks in an attempt to find the source of the poison.

Ye Yunzi, wait until the snacks are found to be poisonous, and see how you will end up!

She glanced at Ye Yunzi coldly and snorted.

Ye Yunzi's mouth corners lifted, her smile was calm and confident, and she was indifferent to Jiaojiao's provocation. What was there for her to fear? The poison she prepared was unique in the world, colorless and tasteless. It was no different for ordinary people to take it, but only pregnant women would fall into a coma if they took it.

After a moment, the old Chinese doctor shook his head: "Tea and snacks are fine."

"What?" Hongyun was surprised.
