Heartthrob Substitute Counterattack Manual [Transmigration Book]

When everyone came to Mo Tianran's room, they saw Mo Tianran lying on the bed pale and breathing weakly.

Madam Mu screamed, threw herself to Mo Tianran's side, and cried loudly, "My son, wake up, what's wrong?"

Mu Chengqi was also frightened, and stepped forward to feel Mo Tianran's pulse, Fan Yun said eagerly, "The third young master said that the pastry he ate contained heartbroken grass!

"Heartbroken grass!" Mu Chengqi turned pale when he heard this.

Madam Mu hurriedly asked, "Master, what is heartbroken grass?"

Mu Chengqi's lips trembled, he looked at Mo Tianran in disbelief, and it took him a long time before he said, "Yes...it's highly poisonous. After taking it, you can only live for three hours."

When he said the last sentence, he almost couldn't continue, and he burst into tears.

"what!"

Madam Mu exclaimed, she was so stimulated that she passed out.

"Madam! Madam!" Mu Chengqi hurriedly hugged her, anxious and angry, "Who sent this pastry! How dare you dare to harm the young master!""

Bai Zhi cried and said, "This pastry was made by Aunt Qian!"

Although she didn't say clearly that it was Qian who harmed Mo Tianran, the accusation in her tone couldn't be more obvious.

Mu Chengqi stared at Qian with wide eyes in disbelief, "It's you!"

He was so anxious that his eyes were about to burst into flames, but the grief in his heart could not be reduced at all.

His son!His best son!The hope of their Mu family is gone!

Mu Chengqi was so sad and angrily that he didn't have the strength to step up and kick Qian's hard.

Immediately, Mrs. Qian fell to her knees and shouted loudly, "My lord! You are wronged!"

She cried out anxiously, "How dare I harm the third young master! Besides, I have been sending pastries to the master, madam, and the third young master, so I have always lived in peace!"

She cried and said, "The master just ate too, it's okay, how could it be me."

Seeing her crying with real emotion, Mu Chengqi seemed to have really been greatly wronged.

Thinking that she had indeed told herself that she had always made cakes for Mo Tianran, doing her best.

It was fine before, but something happened this time, which is really strange.

Qian wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, "Master, think about it, if I really wanted to poison the third young master, why would I be so stupid as to poison the pastries I made and leave myself a clue, someone must be trying to frame my concubine. !"

After thinking about it carefully, Mu Chengqi felt that no one would be so stupid as to put poison in the cakes he made for others to eat.

He was in a state of confusion at the moment, watching his son lying on the bed, beating his chest and stamping his feet: "Who the hell! How dare you harm my son! Who else touched the pastry except Aunt Qian!"

At this time, a maid interjected, "This pastry has always been delivered by Butler Li."

Mu Chengqi shifted his gaze to Steward Li and pointed at him, "What she said is true!"

Butler Li hurriedly knelt down: "Master, it is indeed my gift, but I never dared to poison the third young master!"

Mu Chengqi stared at him, trying to see something on his face.

"Have you passed other people's hands on the way?!"

Butler Li replied honestly, "No."

Mu Chengqi's heart was hit hard at this moment, where he calmed down, his mind became even more confused.

Mu Chengqi became furious, pointed at the two of them and said, "I don't care which one of you poisoned Xiu Rong, if something happens to Xiu Rong, none of you can escape!"

Mrs. Qian hurriedly cried and begged for mercy, "My master clearly checked, it is really not a concubine! I don't have the courage to do so!"

Butler Li also said: "I have followed the master for decades, and the third young master has saved my grandson's life. I will never harm the third young master no matter what!"

Mu Chengqi waved his hand in pain, "Come here and take care of my family. We must find out the truth!"

The servant hurried forward to take orders.

Qian hurriedly said, "Master, don't wrong my concubine."

As she spoke, she looked at Butler Li, pointed at him and said, "It must be you! It's you who hurt me, right!"

Butler Li looked at her in disbelief, "How could I harm you! You asked me to give the cake to the third young master!"

Qian Shi hurriedly said, "It's clear that you said that the third young master didn't want to see me and insisted on sending it for me. Did you already plan to kill the third young master!"

Mu Chengqi looked at Butler Li in shock.

Butler Li looked at Qian in disbelief, "You, you!"

Kneeling on the ground, Qian moved towards Mu Chengqi, crying with tears all over her face, "Master! Master! I'm suffering. I'm just an aunt. I have no status. Even the housekeeper can bully me. Now that I've hurt someone, I'm still going If you want to shift the responsibility to the concubine, the master will make the decision for me!"

Mu Chengqi glared at Steward Li fiercely, "Come here! Catch him and beat him!"

"My lord, please spare me!" Butler Li hurriedly begged for mercy, "I was really wronged!"

Butler Li was so angry that his chest couldn't stop heaving, "Aunt Qian, you're spouting blood, why would I harm you!"

Mu Chengqi also didn't understand, and looked at Qian Shi suspiciously.

Qian's maid looked hesitant to speak, and couldn't help but say, "The master doesn't know something. Steward Li has been coveting my aunt, and molested her three times and four times. She refused to obey, so he came up with this poisonous plan to cure my aunt." To death!"

"What!" Mu Chengqi was shocked, and pointed at Butler Li with trembling hands, "You are so courageous!"

Housekeeper Li was shocked and angry, and said to her, "You are slandering! What evidence do you have that I molested Aunt Qian!"

The servant girl seemed to be frightened by him, but she still held back her fear and said, "Steward Li went to get cakes from my aunt today, and when she saw the purse my aunt embroidered for the master, I just snatched it. My aunt stayed up all night for that purse for three days. My aunt refused to give him the master's fine print, so he insisted on snatching it away, saying that my aunt was just a concubine, and she was old-fashioned. The servant girl can't speak."

Mu Chengqi was so angry that his chest twitched, and he almost fainted. He pointed at Butler Li, "You! You!"

Butler Li hurriedly said, "Master has been wronged! Where did I rob Aunt Qian's purse, no matter how brave I am, I dare not touch Master!"

Qian cried so hard, but there was a slight smile on the corner of her mouth. When she handed the food box to Butler Li, she asked him if he had his purse with him. Butler Li took out the purse from his pocket and returned it Said to have been close to the body.

Neither Li Butler nor Mo Tianran can get away with her series of tricks.

Qian couldn't help but groaned in his heart for his scheme.

The maid seemed to be afraid of Steward Li's anger, and said in a low voice, "This servant has seen it with my own eyes. If the master doesn't believe it, you can go and search for Steward Li's clothes."

When Mu Chengqi heard this, he immediately said, "Come here, search for his clothes!"

The servant immediately stepped forward to search Steward Li, found something on his chest, took it out to look at it, was shocked for a moment, and immediately handed the thing to Mu Chengqi.

Looking at the things in his hands, Mu Chengqi trembled with anger, and pointed at Butler Li, "You! What else can you say!"

Seeing the success of the treacherous scheme, Qian cried loudly, "Master, please be the master of this concubine, and I am really threatened by him!"

Mu Chengqi snorted fiercely, and said to her, "Why didn't you tell me something like this happened!"

Qian's crying was extremely wronged, "Master, I am just a concubine, and my status is only higher than that of the servants. Butler Li threatened me. If I dare to tell the master, when the third young master becomes a family in the future, I will definitely not let me have a relationship with you." Liang Er has good fruit to eat. Butler Li has been working for the third young master, and the third young master is the future head of the family. He said that, how dare I tell the master, but I did my best to keep my innocence. People have been framed and persecuted to this point, why would they say this to tarnish the reputation of the master and the concubine! Master, the concubine is suffering!"

Qian deliberately described Steward Li as Mo Tianran's confidant, and said that Mo Tianran was about to become the master of the house. The purpose was to make Mu Chengqi feel that his son was too powerful and his servants would not take him seriously. He dared to tease his concubine because of his name.

She thought well, Mu Chengqi frowned, and the way he looked at Mo Tianran changed a bit.

How could he not swallow this breath, and pointed viciously at Steward Li, "Come here, beat him with a cane thirty times, and then drag him to Fu Yin, and say that he killed the third young master with convincing evidence, let Fu Yin give my son justice !"

Two young servants stepped forward and grabbed Steward Li's arms, trying to take him away.

Butler Li struggled and said, "Master was wronged, the purse was embroidered for me by my wife, it has nothing to do with Aunt Qian!"

Qian only thought that he was struggling before his death, but heard Li Guanjia said, "If the master doesn't believe it, you can open the purse, and my name is embroidered inside! It is definitely not what Aunt Qian said, it is embroidered with the master and her small characters!"

Mu Chengqi was startled, and subconsciously opened his purse to take a look. Sure enough, it was as he said, and suddenly became suspicious again.

As soon as Qian heard something was wrong, then looking at Mu Chengqi's face, it turned out to be true, and hurriedly said, "This is impossible!"

Mu Chengqi handed her the purse, and she took a look, and was shocked. It was really embroidered with his name as Butler Li said.

She was shocked, "This..."

How did this purse become like this?

He knew that although embroidery is simple, it is not something that can be done in a stick of incense, and he was even more puzzled.

Butler Li said with a sad face, "Master, you know how I have been in the Mu family for decades. Master should know who I am, how dare I threaten my aunt, and what are my plans for her?"

Mu Chengqi looked at him without saying a word.

Madam Mu woke up at some point, "Master, the most important thing right now is to find out who murdered Xiurong. Since the two of them are the most suspect, go search their house to find evidence! Otherwise, even if you hand over Give it to the governor, and the governor will not be able to judge."

Hearing this, Mu Chengqi suddenly said, "What Madam said is, hurry up and search the house of the two of them!"

Everyone was ordered to search.

Qian's heart was secretly happy. Before she went to deliver the cakes, she took advantage of Butler Li to go to Mo Tianran's yard.

I deliberately went to Butler Li's yard first, and quietly hid the heartbroken grass in his room.

At this time, it happens to come in handy.

Mu Chengqi paced anxiously, and Mrs. Mu kept holding Mo Tianran's hand and weeping.

After a while, the servants came to report in a hurry.

"Report to the master! A bag of powder was found!"

Mu Chengqi took the paper containing the powder, observed it carefully, and was shocked, "Powder of heartbroken grass!"

Smiling from the bottom of her heart, Qian exchanged looks with the servant girl, secretly thinking that her plan had succeeded.

Madam Mu hurriedly asked, "Where did I find it!"

Qian glanced at Butler Li from the corner of her eye, and signaled him with her eyes that you are dying.

Butler Li lowered his eyes and said nothing, with a tense look on his face, which made Qian even more pleased to see her, and almost raised the corners of his mouth.

The servant replied loudly to Madam Mu, "Report Madam, this powder was found in Aunt Qian's house!"

One sentence shocked everyone present, especially Qian Shi, who almost stared out of the frame.

"What did you say!"

Qian looked at the servant in disbelief, "How is it possible! How could it be in my house!"

She obviously placed it in Steward Li's room with her own hands while he was away. How could she be in her room? She must have made a mistake.

"You must have made a mistake! It hurt me!"

The servant hurriedly said, "Everyone can testify that it was indeed found in Aunt Qian's house. Nothing was found in Steward Li's house, but this was found."

Mu Chengqi took the things and saw that it was the same purse as Steward Li's, with Steward Li's wife's name embroidered inside.

Butler Li was a little shy, "She embroidered a pair. Originally, she and I embroidered one pair. I looked pretty, so I wanted to come. I put one on my body and one under my pillow."

Everyone could tell that Butler Li cherished and loved his wife, and he didn't look like a person who would threaten the master and aunt, so he immediately became suspicious of what Qian's maid said.

Butler Li sighed, and said to Qian, "I have always respected you as the master, and I will do everything you order with all my heart, but I don't want to be your pawn and harm the third young master. This old slave is really ashamed of the master, Madame, third young master, this old slave is guilty!"

Qian's face turned red and then white.

Mu Chengqi's hands trembled angrily, pointing at her, "Well, you poisonous woman! You designed it all?!"

Mrs. Qian hurriedly said, "I am wronged, sir!"

Mrs. Mu snorted coldly, "Wrong? The poison was found in your house. How can you argue that you killed my son and put the blame on Steward Li? It is not in vain for the master to call you a poisonous woman!"

Mrs. Qian was trembling with anger at Madam Mu's words, but the situation was critical now, and she couldn't care less about it, so she could only say, "It's all because Steward Li hurt me!"

Li Guanjia said, "I have been busy with the affairs in the backyard today, and everyone can testify to me. Afterwards, you asked me to deliver cakes. I took the cakes and went directly to the third young master's courtyard. I met several people along the way. Testify for me, how can I have time to frame you?"

Butler Li said clearly, "It's you who killed the third young master, and maybe even the master and wife. You often send them cakes. It's hard to say whether there is any poison in them!"

Mrs. Qian hurriedly said, "Stop talking nonsense, how could I poison the Master and Madam!"

Butler Li said coldly, "How are you going to prove your innocence! After all, you made these pastries!"

Qian knew very well that only Mo Tianran's cakes were poisonous, so he hurriedly said to Mu Cheng, "Master was wronged, and my concubine did not poison Master and Madam."

Mu Chengqi had just had a bite with Mrs. Mu, but when he heard Butler Li's words, he felt a little lingering in his heart.

Qian Shi said, "Master and Madam both ate, but they didn't have any seizures."

Li Guanjia said, "Who knows if you gave the same kind of poison to the old lady and the third young master, maybe what you gave them is the poison that can delay their death time!"

Qian looked at Butler Li in surprise, touched the small bottle in her arms and kept saying that she didn't have it.

Li Guanjia said, "Master, let me be bold, I implore Master to send someone to search Aunt Qian's clothes, for the safety of Master and Madam!"

Mu Chengqi was very cautious when it came to matters of life and death, showing hesitation.

Madam Mu glanced at the big maid beside her, "Butler Li is right, go and search for her clothes!"

The eldest servant girl immediately took orders, and brought several women to search Qian's body.

Qian was shocked, and struggled quickly, "I'm the master's concubine, you guys are so brave!"

The big servant girl was respectful on the surface, but extremely contemptuous in her heart, "I'm sorry, this is Madam's order, please cooperate with Auntie?"

When Mu Chengqi saw Qian's crying miserably, his heart softened for a moment.

But these women are used to dealing with people, so they subdued Qian Shi in two or three strokes, and found a small porcelain bottle in his arms.

The big maid's eyes lit up, and she gave the things to Mu Chengqi.

Mu Chengqi opened the porcelain bottle, checked it carefully, and was shocked, "This is poison!"

Everyone was taken aback when they heard the words, but Steward Li had confirmed it!Could it be that Mrs. Qian really poisoned the old lady!

Mu Chengqi was furious, the poison in this bottle was colorless and tasteless!Although he couldn't see what kind of poison it was, it was probably a chronic poison as Steward Li said.

When he thought of this, his face became livid, and he wished he could spit out what he had eaten before.

Madam Mu said in horror, "Master! We all ate that pastry, and we will all be killed by her!"

After she finished speaking, she cried even harder, "What a vicious woman, if you hate me and my son so much, why do you want to hurt the master! He is your son's father!"

These words hit Mu Chengqi's heart, and made him even more angry. He stepped forward and slapped Qian's face fiercely, "Poison woman! How dare you hurt me!"

Qian Shi was very anxious. She put the medicine on her body, but she was afraid that it would be found when someone searched the house. She didn't expect Steward Li to bite her back so calmly.

She had calculated thousands of times, but she never expected that Butler Li would be so abnormal.

Seeing Butler Li still frowning, respecting the nervous and honest servant, she felt an inexplicable panic in her heart.

It was a kind of fear that gradually overflowed from the bottom of my heart.

Mu Cheng Qisheng was afraid that he would be poisoned, so he was very anxious, "Come here, send the poisonous woman to the governor. With these evidences, let's see how she can argue!"

Qian hurriedly said, "Master, I really haven't poisoned myself!"

How could Mu Chengqi believe her, "I will never believe you again!"

Qian said eagerly, "Master, I can prove that I did not poison Mrs. Master!"

Madam Mu asked, "How do you prove it?"

Qian said, "I would like to take a bite of pastry to prove my innocence!"

Mu Chengqi hesitated and asked someone to bring the pastry.

"Fortunately, I just asked the maid in the old man's house to bring you these cakes, otherwise if you go to the old man's house to get them at this time, I'm afraid you will suspect someone else of drugging in the middle."

Mrs. Mu said, she spoke directly to Qian's heart, so she had no choice but to swallow the words in her mouth.

Qian thought that the maid in the master's room was still her confidant, so she shouldn't be able to do anything.

It is true that she did not poison these cakes, so she must be safe after eating them.

However, when Qian looked at Mrs. Mu and Butler Li, she always felt that there was an indescribable weirdness about them.

She didn't know if it was her own carelessness or what, under Mu Chengqi's staring gaze, she quickly took out the pastry and put it in her mouth.

"My lord, I ate it, my lord believed that I was wronged!"

Mu Chengqi heaved a sigh of relief, lowered his eyes, showing hesitation.

Qian's heart was ruthless, now that they had no way to accuse her, she could still take the opportunity to bite back.

Just as she thought this way, she suddenly felt a severe abdominal pain, and couldn't help crying out.

Her screams attracted everyone's attention, and Mu Chengqi hurried forward to check her body, and was shocked, "She has been poisoned! It's the heartbroken grass!"

Everyone was in an uproar, the cake was really poisonous!

Qian looked at the pastries in her hand in disbelief. She was afraid of confusion, so she specially made different styles of pastries for Mo Tianran and Mu Chengqi separately, one was poisonous and the other was non-toxic, how could it be, how could it be!

Qian's abdominal pain was unbearable, and she rolled on the ground, but soon she couldn't scream, her throat seemed to be choked, full of fear and regret.

She saw Mo Tianran, who was lying on the bed behind the crowd, opened his eyes and stared at her with a contemptuous smile.

Butler Li, who had always seemed honest, turned to look at her with a weird smile when no one noticed.

Madam Mu's ridicule hidden under the veil made her feel chills all over.

At this moment, she finally knew why she always had a feeling that something was wrong.

It's because they already knew that all of this was in their calculations!

Qian Shi was terrified, regretful, and pained. She thought her calculations were perfect and planned them all into a deadlock.

As a result, all of this has long been seen through, and she is the one who has been calculated from the very beginning!

Mu Chengqi was shocked for a moment, looked at the pastry, and immediately threw it out, worrying for his life.

Mrs. Mu showed a worried look, walked up to Mrs. Qian and shouted, "What's wrong with you! What's wrong!"

Everyone only looked at the mistress who was still kind and caring for those who wanted to harm her.

Qian's abdomen was in severe pain, but she was overwhelmed with shock and fear, unable to speak, and heard Madam Mu's cold eyes, whispering to her.

"How does it feel to be poisoned to death by yourself? You can't live without doing your own crimes, and your death is not wronged."

Qian felt the cold air from hell rushing up from the soles of her feet to the top of her head, and for the first time felt what fear was.

She was so stimulated that she rolled her eyes and fainted instantly.

Mrs. Mu's eyes turned cold, and she was carried into the room, and Mu Liang came back to see her mother for the last time.

Mu Chengqi was still worried about whether the pastry he ate would be okay.

Seeing him like this, Mrs. Mu secretly thought that he was worthless, and presided over the overall situation on his behalf, declared Steward Li innocent, and let everyone go back.

Mu Chengqi stared at him blankly, "Are we going to die?"

Madam Mu sighed helplessly, walked to Mo Tianran's bed and sat down, and touched his hand.

Mo Tianran snorted, pretending to wake up slowly.

Mu Chengqi was greatly surprised, and immediately stepped forward and said, "Xiu Rong, how do you feel! It's a pity that there is no antidote for this heart-broken grass, and my father can't save you."

Mu Chengqi wiped away tears while speaking, the pain of losing a child is really sad.

Mo Tianran suddenly sat up and retched.

Bai Zhi hurriedly passed the wooden basin to him, Mo Tianran retched a few times, and even spat out a piece from his throat, upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the pastry.

He spit it out, his face looked much better, and he lay weakly on the bed.

Mu Chengqi was startled, and immediately felt his pulse, and said in surprise, "Xiurong, you've recovered!"

Mo Tianran said lightly, "Maybe I ate too quickly and didn't fully digest it, so I can spit out this poisonous cake at this time."

He paused, "Lucky to save a life."

Mu Chengqi was overwhelmed with surprise, feeling the joy of regaining what was lost, and couldn't help turning red in his eyes, okay.

Mrs. Mu said, "If you don't ask someone to induce vomiting for Mrs. Qian, maybe you can save your life."

Mu Chengqi snorted coldly, "She wants to poison you and me, and she deserves her death."

He stroked his beard and hesitated, "After all, she is Mu Liang's mother. It would be better to hand her over to Fu Yin."

Madam Mu knew that he was soft-hearted, so she ordered someone to speak.

In fact, Mrs. Mu and Mo Tianran knew very well that Mo Tianran didn't eat any poisonous cakes at all, so naturally he wouldn't die, but if he recovered inexplicably, Mu Chengqi would definitely be puzzled.

Why don't you use this little trick to fool Mu Chengqi into believing that Mo Tianran was indeed poisoned when he was restless, because his fate did not kill him, so that he would not have doubts in his heart.

Qian's strategy is perfectly designed, and it is not easy to crack.

Mo Tianran and Mrs. Mu's victory this time largely depended on Li Butler's verbal and psychological warfare with her.

Butler Li followed Mo Tianran's instructions and entered Qian's game first, and then pulled her into the game step by step when Qian's guard was relaxed.

It was too late when she found out that she had been tricked.

You can only pay for your sins.

Mu Chengqi was still worried about the cakes he ate, and he had to act well, so Mrs. Mu deliberately told Mo Tianran what had happened in front of Mu Chengqi.

Mo Tianran asked her to pass the bottle to him, he opened it, pretended to smell it, and said to Mu Cheng.

"Father, don't worry. Although this medicine is poisonous, taking it in a small amount won't hurt your health. It will only be effective if you take it for a long time."

Mu Chengqi heaved a sigh of relief. Mo Tianran was a disciple of Bai Daozi and believed in his words.

"That's good. You're fine, your mother is fine, and I'm fine. That's the greatest blessing."

Mrs. Mu hurriedly comforted him, "What the master said is true."

Mu Chengqi frowned, and asked in confusion, "The same pastry, since she ate this chronic poison, why did the ones she ate get poisoned by the heartbroken grass?"

The author has something to say: Mo Tianran: I lay down for a whole chapter, so leisurely.

He Jinxi: I didn't see my daughter-in-law for a whole chapter, so sad.
