Lian Shiya pressed the sharp scissors against Bai Wei's neck. With a gloomy face, she coldly and forcefully said, "Open your mouth!"
"Third Miss …" When Bai Wei's neck came in contact with this ice-cold and sharp scissors, he immediately trembled in fear. When he opened his mouth, Lian Shiya stuffed a black pill into her mouth and forcefully patted her back. She gave a thump, and the pill rolled into her stomach, "What, what is this? What did Third Miss give me to eat?"
"This is a poison. After eating it, the poison will slowly invade your internal organs, your intestines, your liver, your stomach, and it will slowly, slowly bleed and rot. You will feel the pain that will enter your thigh, until you rot and die."
Bai Wei was so scared that he fell limply to the ground. He quickly dug his hand into his mouth and tried to dig it out, but the pill had already entered his stomach. With her digging in his stomach, besides causing him to retch, there was nothing else he could do.
"Third Miss, save me, save me …" Bai Wei crawled in front of Lian Shiya and grabbed her feet. "Help."
Lian Shiya remained unmoved as she coldly looked at the maid in front of her and said, "It's not that I'm ruthless, but I really can't trust you. So I can only use this method."
She opened her palm and said, "This is the antidote, you have to take one pill every month to suppress the poison, if you don't listen to me, or dare to betray me, then you will die. If you are loyal to me, then the antidote will not be a problem every month."
When Bai Wei heard this, he hurriedly snatched the pill away and stuffed it into his mouth in panic. "This servant will not betray Third Miss. This servant will definitely listen to Third Miss. Third Miss must give this servant the antidote on time every month."
"Don't play any tricks. Other than me, no one has seen what this medicine looks like, and no one will know what poison you're infected with. In this world, only I can give you the antidote, because I made this poison."
"Yes, yes, yes, this servant does not dare, this servant does not dare." Bai Wei quickly nodded as tears flowed out of his eyes and said,
"Get up, I won't treat you unfairly." Lian Shiya walked in front of the dressing table and opened the box. This was something that Lady Xiao had left for her; she only had these few things in total. She took out a scarlet gold bracelet and put it on Bai Wei, then said, "You can leave. I'll call for you if I need anything."
"Yes, yes, this servant will obey." Bai Wei wore a gold bracelet and walked out with incomparable nervousness in his heart.
Lian Shiya stood up, took her clothes, and slowly put them on one by one — —
When she was changing clothes beside Lian Shiya's bed, she secretly peeked at a certain corner of the room. The bottle that her mother secretly placed into her bed was still there, indicating that the unlucky devil, Chen Xiang, had yet to reveal this matter before his death.
Qing An Courtyard.
His mother was sitting upright on a chair, Second Wife Hu, Third Wife Liu, Fourth Wife Yan were sitting on either side of him. The First Wife hadn't appeared due to having a baby.
"Mother, have you heard about the matter of Shi Ya'er going to Ru Yue'er to beg for forgiveness and knelt for several hours?" Mrs Liu approached her mother and asked in a low voice.
When his mother heard this, a trace of anger immediately appeared on her calm face. She said, "It wasn't easy to get the Xiao family away. The mansion has become much more peaceful. What flowers does this girl want to make now?"
Speaking of that day, when his mother heard that his eldest son had thrown away the Xiao family with a piece of paper, she didn't come back to her senses for a long time, not to mention the others, who were greatly shocked.
This Xiao family was already an equal wife and was pregnant. For the sake of encouraging the maidservants to use their secret arts, Lian Yan Qing gave up on her. In this situation, if it were any other girl, she would have long since committed suicide out of shame and indignation.
From the looks of it, in Lian Yanqing's eyes, the most important thing was the direct descendant's technique. The babies in the Xiao family's belly couldn't even compare to a single hair on their head.
"Mother, this Xiao Clan still has uncle's flesh and blood in their stomach. Is it really going to end like this?" Mrs Liu thought, "No one can be as fierce as this uncle."
"Lian's flesh and blood will never be left behind, and Lian's flesh and blood must return to their ancestors. When the Xiao Clan gives birth, I will send Lian Xi and Senior Servant Song to bring the child back, and since the Xiao Clan has already left the Lian Clan, there is no reason for them to return." Lian Mu's mother said with a stern expression.
"If that's the case, we might have a chance. However, the Xiao Clan is in trouble." Mrs Liu said with a faint smile.
"She got what she deserved! If you don't make a proper wife, you will never be able to harm others. " Lian Mu said angrily.
Mrs Liu pursed her lips and no longer dared to speak.
"I think that Shi Ya'er is really scared." Second Wife Hu saw the situation and took over. "In the past, there were always people helping from the side in everything. They gave her advice and stood up for her. Now, she's the only one left, so she has no choice but to compromise."
"That might not be the case. That mother and daughter pair have a lot of playthings. Who knows what sort of tricks they're playing." Mrs Liu, on the other hand, disapproved.
"Bam!" When Lian Mu heard this, she suddenly stood up, knocked the ground hard with her cane, and angrily said, "If she dares to cause any more trouble, I will twist her hair, remove her from the family tree, send her to a nunnery, and never step into Lian's house again."
Mrs Liu jumped in fright. She didn't know what had happened to her mother these days. Her emotions were volatile and irritable, and she was always angry.
Lady Yan, the gentle Fourth Wife, hurried over and caressed her chest. "Mother, don't get too excited. With that child's current state, he won't be able to create any trouble. Mother, please take good care of yourself."
Lian Mu sighed and said, "I'm old, I'm old. I have to admit that I'm old."
"Mother, it's all the fault of my daughter-in-law. I shouldn't have said such depressing things in front of you." Mrs Liu hurriedly knelt on the ground and said.
"Even if you don't know, these things will still reach my ears. You can all go back, I'll go rest." As her mother said this, Lian Xi came over and took her hand, helping her into the inner room.
The three madams walked out of Qingan Courtyard together. Madam Liu, who was walking at the side, said in a low voice, "Second sister, Fourth sister, have you noticed that in these two or three months, mother's body has been much worse?"
"Yeah, it's usually a loud and forceful speech, but now I'm gasping for breath when I get excited a little bit." Hu Shi also noticed this.
"Mother has always been calm, but she is not a person who is easily angered. Recently, she has indeed been very fond of getting angry." Lady Yan, who usually spoke very little, also spoke.
"Could it be …" Mrs Liu suddenly had a look of alarm on her face. "Mother's life isn't long …"
"Don't talk nonsense! If you don't change your words, you'll be like the Xiao family and implicate us. " Hu Shi immediately scolded.
