He has been investigating a corruption case these days and has been too busy to do it. He finally found time tonight.

But he just glanced at it from a distance.

There was a hint of unwillingness in my heart.

At this time, there was a cool feeling on the cheeks, and the snowflakes fell silently.

The cold wind behind him made Chang Feng shiver, and he gritted his teeth.

"Master, you've been standing here for too long. It's time to leave. I'm afraid it won't be good if someone sees you."

Su Wu's eyes lingered greedily on the beautiful figure, and the dark pupils carefully concealed the hidden emotions deep inside.

Some people really don't want to look at each other from a distance once they get close.

The tenderness they shared in the carriage that day, as well as the ylang-ylang fragrance on her body, still linger in his mind.

Lingering.

But he's in no hurry.

Follow the instructions and figure them out slowly.

He had plenty of time to take his time.

Inside the house, Qiao Ruanxiang was writing something when she heard Zhiqiu whispering in her ears.

"Madam, why did you refuse the young master if he wanted to stay overnight? You also used the excuse of being ill to prevent the young master from coming to your yard in the future."

"If the young master doesn't come, how will you, madam, be able to conceive a child in the future, and how will you gain a foothold in the Su Mansion?"

The more Zhiqiu talked, the more worried he became.

She knew that the young lady was disappointed with the young master, but no matter what she said, the young lady was already married to the young master.

In this life, I can only be a young lady in the Su Mansion. Now that the dowry is coming back, the power of running the family is also in the hands of the young lady.

But this is temporary after all. Without a son, those concubines, especially Wan Qinghe, will definitely climb over the young lady soon.

Zhiqiu was looking at her, when a soft fingertip tapped him between his eyebrows.

The frown was rubbed away, and he saw the young lady looking at him with a smile.

Said: "Look at your brows turning into small hills! Okay, don't worry, I know your lady well, and no one can bully me in the Su Mansion."

He put down his pen again, dried the writing on the paper, folded it and handed it to Zhiqiu, giving instructions.

"Take this letter and hand it to my eldest brother personally. Remember to let him read it himself and destroy it after reading it."

Zhiqiu pursed his lips, nodded, took the note and went out.

-

Qiao Shubai looked at the envelope in his hand with surprise in his eyes.

Qiao Er was the boy who had grown up with him. He would definitely not believe it if he said that he would harm himself.

But what the younger sister said in the letter was true, so she was half-believed.

I thought to myself, I will know tomorrow whether Qiao Er will harm me.

But why did the younger sister have to pretend to be poisoned and blind, and hide it from the rest of the family?

The envelope burned in his hand, and he looked to the side to see Zhi Qiudao.

"Just tell my little sister and I will do it."

"Also, I haven't met my brother-in-law in private, and I haven't done anything."

In the fragrance garden.

Qiao Ruanxiang nodded after hearing Zhiqiu's reply. She asked her eldest brother to pretend to be blind because she knew Su Mo was vicious and he would not give up until he achieved his goal.

Therefore, in order for the eldest brother to successfully participate in the imperial examination next year, pretending to be blind is the best way.

It's just that the eldest brother has never met Su Mo in private, so what is the incident Su Mo said?

While he was deep in thought, he heard someone reporting that someone from Songhe Garden had arrived.

The person who came was Cuixi, the maid next to Dong. Cuixi was holding a bowl of medicine in her hand.

With a smile on her face, Cui Xi knelt down and saluted and said, "The eldest lady heard from the young master that the young lady was ill, so she specially prepared a tonic and asked the slave to deliver it."

He said and handed over the medicine in his hand.

Qiao Ruanxiang glanced at Zhiqiu. Zhiqiu understood and stepped forward to take the medicine and gave her a piece of broken silver.

"Lao Cuixi went on a trip and took me to thank my mother-in-law."

After saying the polite words, Cuixi didn't see Cuixi leaving. Instead, she stood there staring at the bowl of medicine.

Cui Xi met Qiao Ruanxiang's doubtful eyes, chuckled, and said: "The eldest lady really feels sorry for the young lady, so she has given many instructions to the servants to watch the young lady drink the medicine before leaving."

The corners of Qiao Ruanxiang's lips moved slightly, and her expression became subtle.

Looking at Cuixi's posture, he was afraid that she would not leave unless he drank.

He lowered his eyes and nodded in response, then stood up and went into the inner room, followed by Zhiqiu holding the medicine.

Cuixi also wanted to follow, but was stopped by Zhiqiu.

"Young Madam drank the medicine and went to sleep. Miss Cuixi stayed. After Madam finishes drinking the medicine, I will send the empty bowl out."

Cuixi frowned. She wanted to watch Mrs. Qiao drink with her own eyes, but because of Zhiqiu's words, she couldn't force herself in any more, so she had to stand outside and stretch her neck to look in.

Fortunately, a human figure could be seen on the screen. She watched Qiao drink the medicine with her own eyes, and then saw Zhiqiu take out an empty bowl.

It was indeed the bowl containing the medicine, and it was only when I held it like this that my heart fell to the ground.

He smiled and said: "Since the young lady has taken the medicine, I can give you an explanation when I go back. I won't bother you anymore."

After saying that, he took the empty bowl and walked away with small steps.

Soon Cuixi returned to Songhe Garden.

In Songhe Garden, Dong family, Wan Qinghe and Su Mo were all there.

Cui Xi reported the truth truthfully, and Dong was overjoyed.

This medicine is Juezi Decoction. It is painless and insensitive after drinking it, but it can silently harm a woman's fundamental health, making it impossible for her to have any more children in the future.

Su Mo had a dark face and eyes full of displeasure.

"Mom, she said that the child will not have to go to her yard in the future. Why are you still giving her medicine?"

"It's a waste of medicine!"

When he thought of Qiao Ruanxiang's disdain for him when he came out of Qingxiang Garden, Su Mo became angry!

There is still an unspeakable feeling in my heart!

It was as uncomfortable as a dog that was circling around him, and one day he suddenly stopped circling around him and despised himself.

"You won't go if she says she won't let you go? Don't forget what Qiao is holding in her hand. Behind her is all the Qiao family's property! Just for this money, you have to go again! Give her to her I’ve coaxed you to do it, I just need to like you like before!”

It's absolutely impossible for him to let Su Mo stick to his side!

"If the child doesn't go, whoever wants to go will go!" Su Mo said this with a straight face.

Then he added: "Anyway, after taking the medicine, she won't have children in the future. It doesn't matter whether she coaxes her or not, it will all be given to Xu'er in the end, and all her wealth belongs to our Su family!"

Mrs. Dong originally wanted to persuade him to be patient, but then she heard what her son said.

He was also said to be shaken, and his not-so-smart mind followed his words.

Yes, she has no children, so the money will eventually belong to Xuer and the Su family!

Originally, she was not willing to let Mo'er get close to Mrs. Qiao. She just waited for Mrs. Qiao to beg her and let Mo'er look at her like a charity.

In this way, he had the opportunity to torture and humiliate her, so he shut up and said nothing.

Wan Qinghe, who was clinging to Mrs. Dong, initially looked unhappy when her aunt told her to ask Mo Lang to please that bitch Qiao, but then she saw that Mo Lang was still not interested in Mrs. Qiao at all.

Now I am happy again.

The smile on his face became a little softer.

His eyes were also glued to Su Mo.

Su Mo felt the fiery eyes, and his body turned from angry to hot.
