Mu Ling Shao smiled bitterly as he walked back. When Du Mu Zhou had removed his hand, he really thought that he had lost her.

Jian Jia saw all of this from behind and caught up with Mu Lingshao. She told him that since Du Mu Zhou came back from the manor, he had always been this unapproachable, so Mu Ling Shao did not have to worry about it.

"What's wrong, why is her expression always like this? Miss Du ignored you? " When Mu Xuanyin, who came out with Mu Lingshao, saw his dejected expression, she could not help but feel stifled.

Mu Lingshao pouted and said, "Sigh, the journey to pursue a wife is a long one!"

Hearing this, Mu Xuanyin almost burst out laughing as she dragged Mu Lingshao to the tavern.

"You're just a prince, is it really okay to go to a tavern every day?" Although Mu Lingshao said this, he ran faster than anyone else!

"Who's going every day? Nonsense!"

The two of them went back to their old place and got drunk!

Because of Mu Lingshao's words, Du Mu Zhou felt quite bad, so he immediately washed up and went to sleep that night.

After waking up, she would take a needle of her mother-in-law and study pharmacology. She had thought it through, medicine could save a person, but it could also kill a person. If she could master it, she could protect herself in the future.

One Needle Nanny already liked Du Mu Zhou. Seeing her interest, she also patiently taught her. Du Mu Zhou's talent was outstanding, and he was a rare medical genius, so he learned very quickly.

In the past few days, Du Mu Zhou had made some tonic medicine for the madame according to the records of "Nutrition Examination" and placed it in the porridge. The madame did not know that it was arranged by Du Mu Zhou, but hearing Amber say that the madame really liked the porridge, and it tasted good, and her body felt much better after eating it, she kept asking what was added to the porridge, but Amber was just being asked by someone else, so she could not say that it was a secret recipe sent over by her relatives.

When this matter reached Han Mo Xiang and Du Ruanyu's ears, Han Mo Xiang found out that it was actually secretly arranged by Du Mu Zhou.

"Hmph, this damned girl is actually trying to curry favor with the old lady!" After Han Moxiang found out about this, she slapped the table with a dark face. She thought to herself that Du Muzhou was becoming more and more 'promising'!

Du Ruanyu was also very unhappy. Previously, it had always been her getting the madame's concern. This time, Du Mu Zhou's stealthy flattery made her feel that her position in the madame's heart would be shaken.

"Mother, there's no need to be angry. She didn't do it in secret. We also have to do it in secret. We can't win her favor and she will be despised instead!" From the looks of it, Du Ruanyu had sent servants to buy a pack of laxatives to put in the porridge. She didn't expect Du Ruanyu to make fun of the madame's body in order to make Du Mu Zhou suffer a loss.

After a few days, Du Ruanyu had someone make a move. At noon that day, the madame had a stomach upset, and was vomiting profusely.

Hearing this, Du Mu Zhou rushed over and asked what was going on.

Amber had told her in secret that the old lady had been like this ever since she had drunk her porridge.

But that shouldn't be the case. There shouldn't be any problems in the past few days, so why was it happening today?

"Did Grandmother eat something else? There shouldn't be any problems with the porridge, right?" Du Mu Zhou couldn't figure it out either.

Hu Po shook her head. "Ever since the madame enjoyed this bowl of porridge, she has only eaten this bowl of porridge. She doesn't eat anything else."

When Du Mu Zhou heard this, he felt that this was probably another scheme by Han Mo Xiang and the rest. It was likely that they found out that she was serving porridge to the madame, which was why they were doing this to her.

"What do we do now? Did the doctor find out? "

Hu Po frowned and said, "It should be found out. Later, when you are ready, the madame will call you for questioning."

Du Mu Zhou nodded, thanking Hu Po for her explanation.

As expected, not long after, the madame sent someone to 'invite' Du Mu Zhou in.

"Grandmother, how do you feel now?"

"There's no longer any problem." The old lady's nanny continued to ask, "Did the eldest miss send this congee over?"

Du Muzhou nodded and said, "Yes, I think this porridge is good for Grandmother's health, so I let the kitchen cook for Grandmother every day."

"So you admit to everything you've done?" The old nanny looked down at Du Mu Zhou in a condescending manner.

Du Mu Zhou firmly shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be a problem for the past few days. Today's matter is definitely framed. It seems that there are people who don't want to see me being nice to Grandmother."

"Other than you and the kitchen staff, no one else knows about the porridge delivery. If they say they wronged you, where's the evidence?" The old nanny was overbearing.

Du Mu Zhou wanted to calm him down, but he couldn't think of a way to prove his innocence.

Just as both sides were in a stalemate, the fourth concubine arrived.

"Greetings to the madame. I wonder how she is doing now?" Fourth Concubine asked with concern.

Unfortunately, Fourth Concubine's status was low, and the people present had actually told her about it. Du Mu Zhou couldn't bear it, so he told her about the situation.

When Bing Xuan was hungry this morning, I went to the kitchen to prepare noodles for her. Everyone knows that Bing Xuan likes my noodles, so it's not strange that I went to the kitchen. In the kitchen, I saw a servant girl sneaking around while cooking porridge, but I didn't know what she was doing. When the other servant came in and took away the bowl of porridge, I didn't know who the porridge was for, and I also didn't know what the servant was doing, so I decided to just mind her own business.

Du Mu Zhou didn't think that the Fourth Concubine would actually be defending her, so he was a bit surprised.

"Did you find the maidservant?" the old nanny asked.

"There are a lot of people in the house, and I don't go around often, so I don't really know any of the girls. But if I see her again, I'll definitely recognize her. I'm sure she's not a girl from the Eldest Miss's yard."

At this moment, Hu Po was speaking up for Du Mu Zhou, saying, "That's right, First Miss never had any problems delivering the old lady with the congee, but if something happens, everyone will definitely suspect her. I'm afraid that some people have ulterior motives and want to separate from the old lady and First Miss!"

The old mistress was not a person who did not differentiate between right and wrong. It was likely that she knew the other party's motive now that she had heard it.

"All of you are right. You have to find that servant girl so that she can truly return the wood boat's innocence. Oh wood boat, Grandmother doesn't blame you. Your porridge is very tasty, Grandmother really likes it." The old lady beckoned Du Mu Zhou to the bed and looked at her kindly.

Du Mu Zhou sucked a bit and laughed, "Grandmother likes to eat, so I'm happy inside. I'll study medicine harder in the future and let Grandmother eat more in order to be at ease."

When the old mistress heard this, there was no need to mention how happy she was.

After this incident, Du Mu Zhou could be considered to be on the same side as Fourth Madame.
