It’s not that Ling Qingwan has any doubts. Based on her understanding of Ling Chuchu, it’s impossible for Ling Chuchu to be able to calculate her current situation.
Moreover, who are the man and woman who assassinated Mingyue
"Miss." He knocked on the door. "Madame Zhang is here. She wants to see you. She looks very flustered."
Aunt Zhang? Ling Qingwan was puzzled. Wasn't she someone close to the old lady
Ling Qingwan's relationship with the old lady had become strained, and she hadn't had any contact with Nanny Zhang for a long time. Now that she suddenly came to see her, Ling Qingwan couldn't help but be curious as to why.
"Let her in." Ling Qingwan ordered.
Afterwards, Nanny Zhang trembled and ran all the way to Ling Qingwan's room. When she saw Ling Qingwan, she knelt heavily on the ground without saying a word.
"Please, Second Miss, save the old lady." Nanny Zhang choked up.
Ling Qingwan was confused by Nanny Zhang.
"Please explain what is going on first." Nanny Pu said to Nanny Zhang.
Nanny Zhang looked around with a very cautious look. Ling Qingwan signaled to Nanny Pu, who turned around, closed the door, and went back to a distance.
"The eldest lady wants to harm the old lady. The old lady is in great danger now. I have no other choice but to ask you, the second lady, for help." Nanny Zhang's voice trembled as she mentioned this.
Looking at Nanny Zhang's expression, she didn't seem to be lying. This matter also concerned Ling Chuchu, so Ling Qingwan couldn't help but feel solemn.
"Tell me slowly and tell me the whole story. Then I can understand what happened and how to help you."
"The eldest lady is close to the old lady on weekdays. Everyone in the mansion knows it. I didn't think much about it and just thought that the old lady liked the eldest lady. Until last night..."
At night, Nanny Zhang was resting in her room. She heard the wind outside and was worried whether the old lady's house was closed, so she got up to check. As a result, she saw a dark shadow pushing the door open and entering.
Nanny Zhang followed with concern. She saw the shadow standing in front of the old lady's bed. For some reason, the old lady sat up. Then she lay down again.
"The old man is still obedient, hehe."
The house was extremely silent, and the shadow's voice was extremely clear. Aunt Zhang could tell that it was Ling Chuchu's.
She was so frightened that she covered her mouth and tried to escape the room, but she bumped into the screen and made a noise.
Ling Chuchu turned her head and looked in the direction of Aunt Zhang.
At that glance, Nanny Zhang was so frightened that she almost fainted on the spot.
"Forget it, I'm happy today, so I won't bother with you." After saying this, Ling Chuchu climbed out of the window.
Nanny Zhang sat on the ground in a daze for a long time. She stood up in a daze and walked to the old lady's side. The old lady was sleeping soundly and there was no sign of anything unusual. Nanny Zhang covered her with a quilt and went back.
"I have been thinking about what the eldest lady did to the old lady this evening. The old lady has been asking about the eldest lady since she finished her breakfast this morning. She treated her with great concern and cared for her in every possible way. I felt something was wrong and mentioned the second lady. The old lady suddenly became angry and drove me out of the room."
"I have served the old lady for many years, and I know what she is like. She treats the eldest daughter well because she lost her mother at a young age and is the eldest daughter in the family, so the old lady feels pity for her. But no matter how much she loves the eldest daughter, she won't be so extreme."
The more Aunt Zhang spoke, the more she felt helpless. She just wanted to pull Ling Chuchu out immediately. But without any evidence, no one would believe her words as a servant.
Moreover, the old lady was now slapped by Ling Chuchu, and even if Nanny Zhang scolded her until her skin was broken, the old lady would remain indifferent, and Nanny Zhang would easily get into trouble.
Now Ling Xiao is not in the capital, and Ling Feng is not in charge. After thinking about it, the only person Zhang Ma can think of is Ling Qingwan.
"I know the Second Miss. She is cold on the outside but kind on the inside. I have no other choice but to ask you to help me."
First, Mingyue was hunted by a mysterious person, and then the old lady was suspected of being disturbed by evil magic. These things are all related to Ling Chuchu. Ling Qingwan is in a particularly heavy mood.
After sending Nanny Zhang away, Ling Qingwan called Hongshang and asked her to go out and find out if there really is a drug in the world that can slap people's minds.
The situation is getting more and more outrageous.
At night, Hong Chang came back to report to Ling Qingwan that Ling Chuchu might have poisoned the old lady with a baby poison.
"Baby Gu?" Ling Qingwan was puzzled.
She had never heard of Gu poison, so naturally she didn't know what infant Gu was. Similarly, Ling Qingwan had never thought that Ling Chuchu would come into contact with Gu poison.
"Yes, it's an infant poison." Hong Chang nodded. "The so-called infant poison means that after it is put on a person, that person will listen to the owner like a baby. Infant poisons are divided into male and female poisons. The one Ling Chuchu put on the old lady should be the male poison, and the female poison is on her own body."
After hearing this, Ling Qingwan couldn't help but tremble.
Ling Chuchu was also capable of such a crooked method as putting a curse on the old lady.
"Is her purpose really just to make the old lady listen to her?" Ling Qingwan said to herself.
Now the Ling Mansion is desolate, and the old lady is no longer as glorious as before, so it doesn't really matter if you please her. Ling Chuchu spent so much effort just to make the old lady love her.
Besides, she had already done it, so why did she need to put a poison on the old lady? In Ling Qingwan's opinion, it would be better to put the poison on Song Zhiqing.
And according to Aunt Zhang, Ling Chuchu did find her at the time, but she let her go. Ling Chuchu might not have thought that Aunt Zhang would tell others about this.
No matter how hard I thought about it, I couldn't understand Ling Chuchu's behavior.
"Miss, I want to go to Fulu Pavilion in person to meet the old lady. Is that okay?" Hong Shang suddenly asked Ling Qingwan.
Ling Qingwan raised her eyes and met Hong Chang's gaze.
"I should have guessed the purpose of Ling Chuchu's doing this, but I still need further confirmation." Hong Shang told Ling Qingwan.
"If Ling Chuchu sets an ambush, you will be in danger if you go there." Ling Qingwan did not want to agree to Hong Chang's request.
"She won't." Hong Chang said firmly.
A look of surprise flashed across Ling Qingwan's eyes.
"I understand Gu. Infant Gu is the most basic Gu, and I can break it." Hong Shang once again made it clear to Ling Qingwan that she would not be in danger.
Ling Qingwan hesitated for a moment and agreed.
The next day, Hong Chang went to Fuluxuan on the pretext of delivering supplements to Ling Qingwan. She returned in just one stick of incense.
Ling Qingwan was very nervous, and every once in a while, she asked Qiaoer to go outside to take a look. Qiaoer was tired of walking back and forth, so she just waited at the door. When she saw Hongshang coming back, she quickly told Ling Qingwan.
Hong Chang was not injured, and Ling Qingwan breathed a sigh of relief.
"Miss, let me show you something."
After saying that, Hong Chang lifted her sleeves, revealing a soft worm curled up on her wrist.
Qiao'er was so frightened that she screamed twice.
"This is… "
