In the alley.
The two met and stopped.
Yang Ping'er had tears in her eyes and cried, "I saw him, he said he would come later... I did everything the Madam ordered, please, can you not marry Xiaolou to that man?"
Lu'e glanced at her coldly, then smiled and said, "Second Madam, you have to go back and ask the First Madam about this matter. I can't make the decision. Go back quickly, the First Madam is still waiting for your good news at home."
Yang Ping'er's face turned pale and she left in a daze.
Lu'e turned her head and looked at her hurriedly walking away. She curled her lips and said, "The wedding invitations have already been sent out, and you are still dreaming? It's your fault for getting too close to that little bastard. The eldest lady wanted to disgust that boy at this critical moment and make him lose interest in the exam. Don't you understand?"
Luo Qingzhou floated above her head and continued to wait.
Not long.
A figure walked in from the alley.
The figure covered her face with a veil and looked back as she walked. She had unsteady steps and a thin build, obviously an older woman.
When Lu'e saw her, her eyes lit up and she immediately turned her head and looked around vigilantly.
The old woman came to her, and nervously glanced back, then said in a trembling voice: "That boy lied to your second wife, he won't come... He said in front of my master and mistress that the exam is the most important thing, and he won't go out again in the next few days. He also said that he is now a member of the Qin family, and that mother and daughter have nothing to do with him..."
As soon as these words were spoken, Lu'e's face suddenly became gloomy.
The old woman cried, "Can you please let my grandson go back? Please, he will be scared without his mother..."
Lu'e sneered and said, "Madame Liu, don't worry. He's having a lot of fun with us. As long as you do your job well, we will let him go back in three days."
As he spoke, he took out a small package from his sleeve, handed it to her, and said coldly: "Find a chance and pour it into the food of that little bastard."
The old woman was immediately horrified and said, "This... is this poison? I... I can't..."
Lu'e sneered, "Don't worry, it's not poison, it's just medicine that makes him dizzy for the past few days, and it's colorless and odorless, so no one will notice it."
The old woman cried, "No... No... If it delays his exam..."
"Can't I?"
Lu'e said sternly, "Madame Liu, do you want to send your son off?"
The old woman turned pale and burst into tears.
Lu'e was full of impatience and said in a cold voice: "Don't worry, no one will doubt you, and we won't be so stupid as to poison him at this critical moment. If you don't believe it, you can find an animal to try it first."
The old woman wiped her tears and then took the medicine with trembling hands.
Lu'e said with satisfaction: "Okay, go back quickly. After the matter is done, your lovely grandson will naturally return safely. At that time, you will naturally benefit from it."
The old woman said nothing more, turned around, wiped her tears and left.
A look of contempt appeared on Lu'e's face. She turned around and walked quickly towards another exit of the alley.
When she was almost at the exit, she suddenly stopped, her whole body stiffened, and her eyes stared straight ahead.
After counting the breaths.
She blinked her eyes, moved her body, raised her hands, moved them a few times, and murmured, "Sure enough, after the promotion, it is much easier to possess. But the physical body cannot be away for too long, and the soul power cannot be used by this body..."
She moved around in the alley for a while, practicing her movements, expressions, and voice intonation, and then she stood still and stopped moving.
A shadow that was invisible to the naked eye suddenly flew out from above her head.
Lu'e stood still.
After counting the breaths.
She blinked and continued to move forward subconsciously.
After she got out of the alley, she was stunned for a moment, turned her head and looked at the alley behind her, with a look of confusion on her face, as if she felt something was wrong.
But after thinking about it carefully, I couldn't think of it.
She didn't think any more and left in a hurry.
Luo Qingzhou floated above the alley until she was far away, then turned around and went back.
Soon, he caught up with the staggering old woman.
The old woman bought some snacks and candies on the street, then walked into the alley behind and entered the Qin Mansion through the back door.
Behind the old woman, there was another figure.
The figure was petite and wore a green dress. She was a maid.
Luo Qingzhou had seen him several times.
The maid's name is Qing'er. She is the daughter of housekeeper Zhou. She usually helps take care of the flowers and plants in the front yard.
Luo Qingzhou floated in the air and continued to follow her.
She continued to follow the old woman.
The old woman went straight to the backyard, chatted with other maids and nannies for a few words, said "I'm tired", then left the yard, went to the kitchen, chatted with several cooks for a while, asked about tonight's meals, and then left.
It was afternoon, the sun was scorching and the temperature was very high.
The old woman turned into the servants' resting room, wiped the sweat off her face, sat there in a daze for a while, took out the packet of medicine from her arms, sighed for a while, and put it back into her arms.
After a while, she fell asleep on the couch exhausted.
At this time, many maids and nannies were taking a lunch break.
Luo Qingzhou waited on the roof for a while before floating down. He controlled his flying sword and quietly took the bag of medicine out of her arms. He then used his object-controlling technique to pour the contents into his fiery red handkerchief and wrapped it up.
Then he immediately returned to his body, packed a bag of flour, and came over and quietly put it in her arms.
After finishing all this, he returned to Meixiang Garden to continue studying and prepare for tomorrow's exam.
As for everything outside, he no longer thought about it.
Only when those people thought that he really didn't care about the little girl and was really focused on the exam, would it be the best time for him to take action.
at the same time.
Qing'er went to the front yard and found Butler Zhou who was enjoying the cool air in the shadow of the door. She whispered, "Dad, just now Madam Liu went out the back door. I followed her to the street. She went into an alley and met a girl dressed as a maid. We talked for a while, and then she came back with red eyes..."
She told him everything that had just happened.
After hearing what she said, Zhou Tong's eyes sparkled and he asked, "Did you hear what she said?"
Qing Er shook her head and said, "She was very alert and kept looking back. I didn't dare to get close to her. I only saw her enter the alley and meet the maid. Then I hid and didn't dare to show up again..."
Zhou Tong hesitated for a moment, then stood up and said, "Go, keep watching her. I'll go find the master."
"Yes, Daddy."
Qing'er immediately took her leave.
In the backyard house.
The doors and windows of the room were closed, and Song Ruyue was chatting with her daughter.
Not long after, Mei'er came outside and said respectfully, "Madam, the master is here and he wants to see the second young lady."
Song Ruyue was puzzled when she heard this: "Why is the master here at this time? Let him in quickly."
The door opened.
Qin Wenzheng walked in with a serious look on his face, glanced at her and said, "Ruyue, please go out first. I have something to tell Weimo."
Song Ruyue was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then she said angrily: "Master, what can't I listen to?"
Qin Wenzheng's face suddenly darkened: "Get out!"
Song Ruyue's face suddenly changed, and then she pursed her lips, twisted her slender waist, and left the room aggrieved: "Just go out, why are you so fierce, disgusting!"
The door is closed.
Qin Weimo frowned slightly and said, "Dad, have you found the spy?"
Qin Wenzheng was stunned, looked at her and asked, "How did you know?"
Qin Weimo smiled and said, "You asked mother to go out and you got angry at her. The spy must be someone close to mother, right?"
Qin Wenzheng stared at her for a while, then suddenly sighed: "What a pity, Weimo, if you were a man, my Qin family wouldn't have fallen to this point..."
Qin Weimo said softly: "Dad, my brother-in-law is a man, and he is one of us. He is much more capable than Weimo. So don't worry, Dad. Our Qin family will definitely get better in the future."
Qin Wenzheng looked at her and said, "I noticed something was wrong with him in the hall at noon, otherwise he wouldn't have said that. I don't know if he was suspicious or really knew there was a spy."
Qin Weimo said: "Brother-in-law should know."
Qin Wenzheng asked: "Do you trust him so much?"
Qin Weimo smiled and said, "Dad, how about we make a bet? Weimo bets that my brother-in-law not only knows that there is a spy in our Qin Mansion, but also knows who the spy is, okay?"
Qin Wenzheng paused and said, "Okay. I don't believe that guy is so powerful. I just found out who the spy is, and the spy just started to act. The guy only found out about the wedding invitation at noon today, so it's impossible that he started looking for the spy a long time ago."
Qin Weimo smiled slightly, walked to the window, opened it, and said to the outside: "Mei'er, go to Meixiang Garden and tell the son-in-law that there seems to be a situation in our Qin Mansion. Ask him how to deal with it. Just say that the master asked you to ask."
Mei'er was stunned for a moment, then immediately agreed and left in a hurry.
Not long.
She ran back in a hurry, sweating profusely.
As soon as she entered the room, she hurriedly closed the door and panted and whispered, "Second Miss, the uncle said... that we don't need to worry about it for the time being, and asked me to tell the master to pretend that nothing happened and not to let Qing'er look at that person again."
Qin Wenzheng: “…”
Qin Weimo smiled slightly and looked at him. In his clear and gentle eyes, there was a hint of pride: "Dad, do you admit that your brother-in-law is amazing?"
Qin Wenzheng was stunned for a long while, then he sighed: "Dad has long known that boy is powerful, from the fact that those poems caused the Song family to be wiped out. But I never thought that boy could be so powerful. What just happened..."
He suddenly looked at her again and said, "But Wei Mo, Daddy thinks you are more powerful. You just stayed in the room and you were able to accurately guess the boy's situation. It seems... From now on, the Qin Mansion will have to rely on you to take care of that boy. Apart from you, I'm afraid no one can take care of him. To be honest, Daddy has also begun to fear him. Daddy can finally understand your mother..."
"Humph, I'm not afraid!"
Song Ruyue's cold and stubborn voice suddenly came from the door.
It turned out that when Mei'er came in just now, she signaled with her eyes and left a gap when closing the door.
She had been eavesdropping at the door.
Qin Wenzheng went over and opened the door, glared at her and said, "Come in."
Song Ruyue walked in angrily.
Mei'er lowered her head and walked out.
The family of three gathered in the room, each with their own thoughts.
Song Ruyue couldn't help asking, "What were you guys mumbling about just now? How is that guy so powerful? How is he going to solve the problem of the mother and daughter? Is he just going to wait and see?"
Qin Weimo smiled slightly, went over to open the door and said, "Dad, Mom, you guys chat. I'm going to the kitchen to make soup for my brother-in-law. He has an exam tomorrow, so I need to give him some nourishment."
After saying that, he left with Zhu'er's help.
Qin Wenzheng also walked to the door and said, "Ruyue, I have something else to do. Please talk to the maids."
Song Ruyue was immediately furious, stamping her feet and saying, "You all think I'm stupid and are hiding everything from me, right? It's fine that that little bastard hid everything from me, but you treat me like this too, don't you feel guilty?"
Qin Wen Zheng ignored her and continued walking out.
Just as he reached the door, Song Ruyue suddenly rushed over and hugged his legs, kneeling on the ground, looking up at him with her charming little face, her watery eyes full of resentment and charm, and said pitifully: "Master, the humble and pitiful little Ruyue needs your pity..."
Qin Wenzheng: “…”
In the evening.
The maids and nannies started to go to the kitchen to get food.
Mei'er was carrying a bowl of soup and was about to go to Meixiang Garden. Halfway there, she was stopped by a nanny.
"Mei'er, I just need to go to my uncle's place to ask Qiu'er to borrow some cloth. Let me bring the soup to you."
Mei Er hesitated for a moment, handed the soup to her, and reminded her: "Madame Liu, be careful not to spill it. Tell the son-in-law that it was Madam who made it for him."
Madam Liu took it carefully in her hand and said with a smile, "I know."
Then he took the soup and left carefully.
Mei'er looked at her back and saw that she was standing very steady, then she turned and left.
Nanny Liu carried the soup and entered the Meixiang Garden.
Xiaodie and Qiuer received us warmly.
Luo Qingzhou also came out of the house, greeted her politely, and then finished the bowl of soup in front of her.
Before it got dark, Qiu'er suddenly hurried out to find a doctor.
Soon, the entire Qin Mansion was alarmed.
Qiu Er cried and said, "My uncle is sick and suddenly fainted on the ground..."
Everyone was in a panic.
