"Cough, cough …"

As soon as Mu Yu Ting entered her father's courtyard, she heard a violent coughing sound coming from inside and she quickened her pace.

"Father, wait!"

When she entered, she saw that Duke Mu was about to bring the medicine cup to her mouth. She immediately spoke up to stop him.

Duke of Mu was a little stunned. "Ah, Lan Ting has woken up. Yesterday, I heard your brother say that you were sick. I was still worried for you."

Mu Yu Ting quickly stepped forward and removed the medicine cup from her father's book. Hearing his words, she knew in her heart that her brother must have hidden the fact that she narrowly escaped death because he was afraid that her father would worry and worsen her illness.

She smiled and helped Mu Xiangguo onto a chair. "It's alright now. I'll have to worry about it."

Mu Xiangguo had clearly lost a lot of weight. He looked at his father's lively face with a burning pain in his eyes. It had been a long time since she last saw her father.

In this life, his father was still alive. How wonderful …

The strength in his hands increased as Mu Xiangguo looked up in surprise. "Why is Zhu Ting crying?" But did Shaoqing bully you again? Tell me, when he pays his respects to me tomorrow morning, I'll teach him a lesson in place of Yue Ting! "

Mu Xiangguo had doted on Mu Qianyu since she was young, and this only made her feel even more guilty. If it wasn't for her stupidity in her previous life, her father and brother might have survived and she wouldn't have ended up like this.

Mu Yu Ting lowered her head to cover the wetness in her eyes. She blamed herself: "No, it's just that my daughter thought about how her father's illness hadn't improved in so long, so she felt a little guilty. It's all my fault that my daughter didn't learn medicine well."

"How can I blame you? I'm just feeling unwell because of father."

Mu Xiangguo sighed, his resolute face looked haggard.

Mu Yu Ting's hatred towards Jiang Chen increased a bit more. She grabbed her father's wrist to check his pulse and her elegant eyebrows tightened, but fortunately, her father's body was still relatively stable.

She glanced at the medicine on the table. It looked like she needed to go back and check what was here.

Father, your daughter has just examined your lower pulse. It seems like this medicine has no use at the moment. In the next two days, you should first stop and wait for your daughter to write a new medicinal formula for you.

"Forget it, you don't even know how bitter this medicine is."

Seeing her father's childish attitude, Mu Yuting finally revealed a smile and said warmly, "Father, rest assured that the medicine my daughter concocted for you this time won't be bitter. Then, my daughter will go back first."

Mu Yuting blessed herself, then walked out of her father's front hall with the medicine cup on the table. Her face also darkened.

After returning to check a few times, she discovered that this medicine had been mixed with saltpeter powder!

Saltpeter Powder was a colourless, tasteless, and chronic poison. Once consumed, it would gradually weaken, and one could not see any clues. Only when it was cremated could one distinguish it from the color of the bones.

Mu Yu Ting slammed the medicine cup on the table onto the floor, while her small face became dark and vicious.

"Jiang Chen Bi Bi, since you are so ruthless, I must let you have a taste of fighting back!"

Mu Lutang's eyes were fixed on the medicinal Gu that had already shattered to pieces. The flames of fury in her heart burned hotter.

It turned out that Jiang Chen's father had already poisoned his poison at this time in his previous life?

Mu Yu Ting's eyes flickered. Suddenly, she remembered the words that Jiang Chen had said to her in the woodshed before she died.

"If I hadn't poisoned your stupid father and brother with some poison and taken their lives, would the Duke of Guo's estate have fallen so quickly?" The malicious look on Jiang Chen's face was still lingering in Mu Yuting's mind.

Father's room has already been filled with poison. Then, brother's …

When Mu Yu Ting thought here, her eyes immediately opened wide. She raised her head and cried out: "Not good!"

My brother must have been drugged by that snake and scorpion girl!

Mu Yu Ting clenched her fists. She wanted nothing more than to break off all decorum with Jiang Chen and then lock Jiang Chen in the woodshed and starve to death. However, her status and circumstances left her no choice but to follow the map.

Although she had 'taught' Jiang Chen and Han Xiangyuan a lesson today, she still couldn't go too far.

The experiences from his previous life told Mu Qiushan that he definitely would not destroy their plans in a day or night.

"Damn it!" The thought of not being able to kill them immediately to vent her hatred, Mu Qiushan felt as if her eyes were splitting apart!

However, the more it was at this moment, the more he couldn't let his guard down. After taking a few deep breaths, Mu Yuting opened her eyes. Her eyes were calm and emotionless, as if nothing had happened.

But in her heart, she had already thought of a countermeasure. Since he wanted revenge, he had to be meticulous and not be too hasty.

Thus, she sneered, looked at the medicinal Gu on the ground, and disdained it.

"Blue Luan, wake me up when it's time for lunch." Mu Yu Ting instructed her servant girl before lying down on her soft couch and closing her eyes.

"Yes." The Blue Luan didn't know what Mu Yu Ting was thinking. It dutifully and dutifully cleaned up the fragments of the medicine Gu in the room, then retreated out of the room.

When it was almost time for lunch, the Blue Luan hurriedly woke Mu Qiushan up.

"Miss, Miss, it's time for lunch." The Blue Luan bent down and softly called out as it looked at the sleeping Mu Yuting.

"Yes." Mu Yu Ting still had her eyes closed, but there was no sleepiness in her words.

In reality, Mu Qiushan hadn't slept at all just now. She had lived a new life and hadn't even avenged her death, so how could she be so at ease?

"Give me some makeup, I want to go to big brother's yard." Mu Yu Ting opened her eyes. Her eyes were clear and clear. She was extremely clear-headed now, and knew exactly what she should do with every step.

"Yes." The Blue Luan slightly bent its body and then walked to the dressing table, waiting.

The young miss must be thinking of calling the young master for lunch. The Blue Luan was still guessing in its heart, but in its previous life, the Miss had always been especially cold towards everything. Even if it was her own father and brother, she had never shown any sign of being particularly close to them.

But now …

Forget it, these things weren't things that a servant like her could speculate about.

The Blue Luan retracted its thoughts and quietly combed Mu Qiuting's hair.

When they arrived at Mu Shaoqing's courtyard, he was practicing calligraphy in his study. Mu Shaoqing's calligraphy was exceptional in the entire capital.

Mu Yu Ting stood at the entrance of Mu Shaoqing's courtyard, her thoughts unknowingly drifting back to her previous life. In her previous life, she had never been particularly close to her older brother.

The gentle and refined Mu Shaoqing had always remained in his memory. The gentle smile as he stood under the tree stroking his head was still engraved in his mind.

Unknowingly, Mu Yuting's eyes were somewhat moist. When she came back to her senses, she sniffed. He then looked at the figure in the study and called out in a spoiled manner, "Brother."

Hearing the familiar voice, Mu Shaoqing subconsciously raised his head to look out the window. When he saw that it was Mu Yu Ting, he immediately put down his brush and went to greet her.

As soon as he opened the door to the study, he was hit by people rushing in his direction.

"Big brother, what are you doing?" Mu Yu Ting raised her head and looked at Mu Shaoqing with a sweet smile.

Mu Shaoqing didn't push Mu Qiushan away. After all, she was his most beloved younger sister.

"He's practicing calligraphy. He's already so old, and he's still acting so impetuously." Although Mu Shaoqing said this, he didn't push her away.

"How old are you? You're still big brother's sister." Mu Yu Ting smiled innocently.

"Why did you come here today?" To tell the truth, when Mu Shaoqing saw Mu Yuting, he thought he was mistaken.

"Of course, I only came here because I heard that there was something hidden in my brother's yard." Mu Yu Ting said as she tilted her head to the side and looked into the house.

"What good stuff can I hide?" Mu Shaoqing couldn't help but lower his head, gently scratching Mu Qiuting's nose with a doting expression.

"I don't care. Big brother must have some good stuff hidden away. Why haven't you told me yet?" Mu Yu Ting took the opportunity to grab Mu Shaoqing's wrist and check his pulse.

"Child, since you don't believe me, you can look for me yourself." Mu Shaoqing helplessly shook his head with a faint smile on his face.

"Find it yourself." Mu Yu Ting let go of Mu Shaoqing's arm, feeling relieved. Fortunately, his brother's pulse was stable. It seemed that the time the poison had been administered was not long, and it did not pose a threat to his health.

As a matter of fact, Mu Qiuting already knew where the poison poison was when she first entered the room.

The smell in the room was extraordinary. Ordinary people might not think much of it. They would just treat it as ordinary incense.

However, this Qiu Luo couldn't avoid her nose.

What was an autumn flower? A flower that grew on the edge of a cliff and grew for 30 years had a unique fragrance. "Flowers are not poisonous, but when they are made into incense, they can be a slow poison that can take a person's life!

If this incense is used for a long time, people will lose their appetite and starve to death!

How could a young miss like Jiang Chenbi, who didn't even set foot outside of her own home, possibly know about this? It must have been Han Xiangyuan who gave it to her!

"Found it!" Mu Yu Ting said to Mu Shaoqing while pointing at the incense burner with a face full of surprise and surprise.

"It's just incense." Mu Shaoqing thought that Mu Qiushan had really discovered something.

"This smells so good, just give it to me, brother." Give me this censer and the remaining spices, okay? " Mu Yu Ting ran back to Mu Shaoqing's side and pulled his wide sleeves as she pleaded coquettishly.

"Alright, alright, alright. All of this is for you." On the cabinet behind Mu Shaoqing's desk, he took out the remaining box of spices and gave it to Mu Qiantang.

"I knew brother would treat me the best." Mu Yu Ting smiled and said, "I'll send a better one to Big Brother tomorrow."

"Good, good, good." Mu Shaoqing pinched Mu Yuting's nose with a face full of smiles.

That day, after Mu Yu Ting had taken all of the spices from Mu Shaoqing's study, she hadn't forgotten to have the Blue Luan send people to keep an eye on Mu Shaoqing's spice supplies, afraid that someone would put some poison in him.

Having lost her loved ones, it was enough for her to taste it once.
