When Senior Servant Gui returned to the palace, she couldn't help but think back to the matter of the Prime Minister's Estate. When she previously heard that Lady Zhao was virtuous and kind, she had treated the first-in-line daughter of her first wife as if she was her own.

With a stepmother like Madame Zhao, Miss Xue was truly pitiful.

Senior Servant Gui shook her head as she recalled Madame Zhao's venomous gaze before she left. When she saw the empress dowager, she recounted everything that she'd seen and heard from the estate. She couldn't help but say a few more things about Xue Muyun.

The empress dowager's eyes were deep and serene as she tapped the table lightly with her fingers. "A girl like this is indeed not worthy to be my son." "Take my name plate and go to the prince's mansion. Tell that child about the matter of annulling the marriage, and I will do my best to annul the marriage for him. Maybe he will even resent me."

Senior Servant Gui lowered her head and advised, "Prince Fu will understand the Empress's painstaking efforts."

"Hopefully."

In the Xue Clan's eldest daughter's room, Xue Muyun untied his hair and continued to wrap himself in the quilt to bask in the sun.

Yun Zhi happily said, "Miss is really amazing today! Madam is so angry that her face is turning white! "

The majority of servants next to the original owner were people of the Zhao Family, and every single movement was under the control of the Zhao Family. After the original owner noticed this, he purposely threw a tantrum and sold his personal maid to the estate, bringing up a maid from the side courtyard to sweep the floor.

Later, when the original owner was pushed back into the water and the owner of the body switched with her, Mrs Zhao probably forgot to pay attention to this servant girl, which made her gain a loyal little girl.

Yun Zhi saw that Xue Ruoyun was watching her silently, so she carefully asked, "Miss, did I say something wrong?"

"Nothing, you're fine."

"Miss, are you worried that the Madam will treat you badly because of this?"

Xue Ruoyun ran her fingers through her long hair. "You speak as if she's treating me well right now." For an outsider like me, the young miss might look good, but in reality, I don't even have the money to pay a doctor. "

As the two of them were talking, a maidservant hurriedly came over to report, "Eldest Miss, the manor's Doctor Lin is here to treat you."

"Your movements are quite fast, please come in."

Doctor Lin was also an old man in the manor. After entering the house, he first sized up Xue Luoyun and dragged him into the water for half a month without anyone treating him. He thought that this rash young miss was about to die.

Doctor Lin's heart trembled when he sensed Xue Ruyun's gaze. He quickly and respectfully took her pulse.

"First Miss has suffered severe cold, internal heat and external cold. I'm afraid that her injuries are too severe, and she needs to be treated with precious medicinal herbs. She needs to be especially careful while she is ill, and she should stay alert and stay in a cheerful mood."

"Alright, I understand."

Doctor Lin couldn't help but raise his head to look at Xue Ruyun again. He felt that the First Miss' temperament had changed just like the rumors. She was no longer the same as before, always throwing tantrums and scolding the servants.

After sending off Doctor Lin, Yun Zhi felt guilty, "Miss, why didn't you tell me that you're not in good health?"

"So what if I tell you? The people in this house all wish for me to die. If it wasn't for the king conscripting the marriage today, I'm afraid I would have had to leave the house and find a doctor to treat me. "

Yun Zhi thought about Xue Muyun's predicament and sighed. "Miss can send this servant to tell Master that Master is always concerned about Miss."

Xue Ruyun smiled. She wasn't the original body, so she thought that this father truly treated her well. Without mentioning anything else, her daughter hadn't come to visit for half a month, so it could be seen that the original body didn't really matter to her.

"I'm afraid that when he returns tonight, he will come to scold me, this daughter of his, who has humiliated the Prime Minister's family."

"Young mistress..."

Yun Zhi wanted to say a few more words of advice, but she knew that what her young mistress said was the truth. Outsiders all thought her to be a pampered genius, but they didn't know that her presence in the mansion was of no concern to them.

At Mrs Zhao's instruction, the servants acted quickly. The maidservants brought the medicinal herbs that had been prepared.

As a professional private bodyguard, she could tell from the smell that the poison in the food was one of her unique skills. After confirming that the soup didn't have any poison, she drank it all in one gulp.

Yun Zhi said straightforwardly, not caring that the maid who was serving the soup was still there, "Miss! What if there's poison in the medicine? "

"Don't worry, the eldest daughter was poisoned in the mansion, she can't afford to embarrass that person."

Xue Ruyun looked at the empty medicine bowl and smiled.

Mrs Zhao had controlled the Prime Minister's house for so many years, she was really scheming something. She was probably cursing her to die right now.

Unfortunately, she, Xue Luoyun, wasn't someone who could die that easily.

After Mrs Zhao heard what she had said from the maid that delivered the medicine, she kept scolding in her own room. First she scolded Xue Luoyun, and later she even scolded her own mother, the Han Family.

When Xue Lian entered the room, he saw Mrs Zhao throwing something. The expression in his eyes turned cold as he indifferently said, "Mother shouldn't be so impulsive. Ping Bai was taken short by someone."

Because of today's incident, someone took advantage of her reputation and spread it to the empress dowager. If the empress dowager didn't care, then it was fine, but if the empress dowager made a fuss about it and her mother's reputation was tarnished, then she would be looked down by others as well.

When Mrs Zhao saw the expression on her daughter's face, she also realized her mistake. She sighed and said, "Forget it, it's my fault. I should have taken advantage of these few days to make her directly die from illness."

"I thought that I underestimated Xue Ruyun. She truly did have a tough life. Even with that, she still didn't die."

Mrs Zhao hatefully said, "It's good that she didn't die. Today, she dared to play tricks on me. Don't blame me for making her suffer a fate worse than death."

"What do you think, Mother?"

When Mrs Zhao heard Xue Lian's question, she directly asked, "You're saying this because you already have an idea?"

A sinister smile emerged on Xue Lian's drawing face as he said, "I remember my mother said that a distant cousin was going to seek refuge with my father and stay in the manor to take the Imperial Examinations. Eldest sister was annulled twice in a row, isn't it appropriate to go with my cousin?"

Although the distant nephew's character wasn't that great, he was still a High Scholar. It was hard to guarantee that he would pass the Imperial Examinations and rise to prominence. What if Xue Ruoyun followed him and turned around to target them?

Mrs Zhao didn't want to give Xue Ruyun a chance to turn things around. She frowned and hesitantly said, "Your cousin already has a marriage at home, and he already has several children."

Xue Lian pretended to be surprised and asked, "Mother, could it be that you want Big Sister to be your wife?"

"You mean …"

"Did Mother forget? According to the West Cold Law, a thief is a concubine. "Big Sis is carrying you and your cousin on a secret relationship, the Prime Minister's Palace can't afford to lose this person. They can only use a small palanquin to send Big Sis away through the back door."

Mrs Zhao understood tacitly, smiling as she nodded her head: "So it's like that, very good."
