"I have saved up all the monthly allowances I have received over the years, as well as the rewards you have given me, as well as the rewards given by the master and the old lady. I still have three hundred taels. Sir, you can't help but trust me."

Li Shuangwan sneered, "Xiao Shun, you are eighteen years old this year, and you have been following the eldest master since you were eight years old. For ten years, your monthly allowance is five hundred coins, which is six taels of silver a year. Even if you don't eat or drink for ten years, it's only sixty taels."

"Even if the eldest master and the master and mistress reward you, it will not be more than twice your monthly salary. Add the two together and you will get two hundred taels. There are accounts to check and you will know."

"But, oh, Xiaoshun, your mother has been bedridden for many years. Just seeing a doctor and taking medicine costs more than three hundred coins a month. Your mother fell ill five years ago. For five years, she has spent at least eighteen taels of silver, not including your mother and your sister's food, clothing, housing and transportation."

"Your sister likes to dress up, so this must be a considerable expense. Tell me, how did you save up these three hundred taels?"

Xiao Shun opened his mouth, not knowing how to argue.

"Butler, ask the accountant to check immediately. Xiaoshun's monthly salary plus the rewards he received from the eldest master and other people in the mansion over the years, find out every penny for me." Old Master Zhu's face turned ashen.

The housekeeper quickly replied yes.

Li Shuangwan picked up the packet of powder from the tray beside him and said, "So, tell me now. That person gave you three hundred taels of silver and this packet of powder. Who did you want to give it to? What kind of medicine is this?"

Xiao Shun turned pale. "I don't know what you mean. I have never seen this packet of poison."

"Poison? Oh, I didn't say it was poison."

Old Master Zhu said angrily, "Come here, ask the doctor to come and check it out. We will know the answer after checking it out."

Li Shuangwan said, "Grandfather, that's not necessary. When I came here, I had already sent someone to invite Doctor Guo from the People's Hospital. He is outside the mansion now."

Old Master Zhu looked at his granddaughter solemnly. She was completely different from what she was a year ago.

"Someone, go and invite Doctor Guo in."

After an incense stick of time, Doctor Guo finished his examination and said, "My Lords, this medicine is called Dai Huan. Once taken by mistake, a person will gradually become stupid within a month, until he becomes like a three-year-old baby and unable to take care of himself."

Everyone was shocked, thinking that this was going to harm Qing Meng.

What a poisonous medicine.

Li Shuangwan's eyes were cold. In his previous life, Xiaoshun sewed cheat sheets into his inner clothes and framed his eldest cousin for cheating in the imperial examination.

In this life, Ling Heng was named the crown prince ahead of time, which meant that his eldest cousin's future would be ruined in advance.

How vicious.

"Tell me, who told you to do this!"

"No, these things are not mine. Someone framed me!"

At this time, the housekeeper also hurried over. He mobilized all the literate servants in the mansion to check the accounts of the past ten years.

"Master, Xiaoshun has received a monthly allowance of 58 taels for the past ten years, and the rewards from the eldest son and the masters in the mansion total 132 taels. The total is 190 taels of silver."

At this time, Hong Shuang also came in, bringing a doctor with her: "My Lady, please ask me to find the doctor who treated Xiao Shunniang. This is Doctor Zhang."

Doctor Zhang bowed to the people and said, "My Lords, Princess, I have the account book here, please take a look."

When Xiao Shun saw Doctor Zhang, his face was as pale as death.

"I have been treating Xiaoshun's mother's illness, and the medicine is also prescribed in our clinic. The average cost per month is 320 wen. For five years, the total is 19 liang."

"But since last month, his mother's illness has worsened. She needs good medicine, at least three taels of silver a month."

After Doctor Zhang finished speaking, Hongshuang took his men away.

"You only have 190 taels of silver in total. Where do you think these 300 taels of silver came from?"

Xiao Shun's tears rolled down, and he kowtowed to Zhu Qingmeng: "Master, I am sorry for you. You treat me very well. But I have no choice. My mother's illness is a bottomless pit. The inferior medicine she took before could not save her life."

"What Doctor Zhang said is right. It will cost at least three taels of silver a month, but the monthly allowance is only five hundred coins. I can't afford it."

Zhu Qingmeng was heartbroken: "If you don't have money, you can ask me for it. Why do you do this?"

Xiao Shun kept kowtowing.

"Who gave you the money and asked you to do this?" Mr. Zhu asked.

Xiao Shun kowtowed: "I can't tell you. If I tell you, my mother and my sister will be finished. Master, please forgive me. I had no choice. Please, Master, please."

Li Shuangwan asked coldly: "When did you get this medicine?"

"Three, three days ago."

"Have you given it to the eldest master?"

Xiao Shun hurriedly shook his head: "No, not yet. The eldest master treats me very well, I, I really can't do it, so I have been hesitant, no..."

Master Zhu gave a stern order: "Come here, beat him until he confesses!"

Xiao Shun struggled desperately: "Master, please forgive me. If I die, my mother and sister will not be able to survive. Master, I beg you."

Zhu Qingmeng closed his eyes deeply, with great disappointment and sadness in his heart: "Grandfather, sell him off."

"Cousin, there are some things that cannot be treated with mercy." Li Shuang stepped forward to stop him.

Zhu Qingmeng shook his head: "This is the fulfillment of the ten years of master-servant relationship between me and him. From now on, whether he lives or dies has nothing to do with me."

When Mr. Zhu saw that his grandson said so, he waved his hand and asked someone to take Xiaoshun away.

Li Shuangwan didn't say anything. Xiaoshun had been released, so how could the man behind the scenes let him live?

After lunch, the family returned to the Duke Zhenguo’s Mansion.

At nightfall, a man climbed in through the window again.

Li Shuangwan was still sitting in front of the dressing table twisting her hair. When the breeze blew in through the window, she knew Gu Xingyan was coming without even turning her head.

A slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and warmth flowed in his heart.

When she turned around, she had already fallen into the man's arms, and was then confined by Gu Xingyan in front of the dressing table, who sealed her lips with his lips and rubbed and abused her wantonly.

Gu Xingyan has been obsessed with this matter ever since the first time they got intimate on the outskirts of Rangcheng.

Not a day went by when he didn't kiss her.

He was extremely obsessed with her.

And Li Shuangwan also enjoyed it.

After a long time, the two separated.

Li Shuangwan panted slightly, raised his pair of dark eyes and looked at the person in front of him: "How did you know that I wanted to see you today?"

Gu Xingyan chuckled and patted his chest: "It told me that my girl is thinking about me."

Li Shuangwan glared at her and said, "Originally, I was planning to go to the inn to look for you."

Gu Xingyan sat on the chair, then hugged Li Shuangwan and sat her on his lap, with one hand around her waist.

"There are three floors inside and three floors outside the inn, all of which are people sent by Ling Heng. If there is anything, just tie a red silk ribbon on the crooked tree by your window. When Lin Musen sees it, he will notify me and I will come to find you in the evening."

Li Shuangwan was surprised: "What about his people?"
