Liang Yi furrowed her brows and said, “My friends, from various walks of life, have noticed something amiss! Although Jin Tao is no longer an apprentice in the clinic and has adorned herself with powder, there are still those who sense something unusual about her.”

Liu Shimei seized on this as an opportunity, saying, “Jin Tao has been an apprentice to Du Gong for many years, and she may carry the habitual scent of medicine.”

However, Liang Yi shook her head, stating, “My friends insist it’s not the typical aroma of medicinal herbs; rather, it seems like… someone poisoned her! Yet, it’s not very apparent. At least, judging by their skills, they couldn’t discern the nature of the poison.”

Everyone was momentarily stunned.

Liang Wei spoke up, “Jin Tao was originally with Du Gong. She disappeared when Du Gong was captured. Now, after Du Gong’s rescue, Jin Tao reappears, possibly poisoned? Could it be that Du Gong is still controlling her from behind?”

“Whether it’s a person or a ghost, you’ll know for sure when you see it yourself!” Liang Sheng’s words were straightforward.

Liu Shimei agreed, saying, “I’ll find some time…”

Before she could finish her sentence, everyone’s gaze fell on her!

Although no one spoke, the message was crystal clear: You are not allowed to go!

Especially her silly dog, who grabbed her hand, glaring at her with a look of resistance!

Jokingly, who would let their own daughter go to a brothel to investigate the situation? Have all the men in the family died?

Liu Shimei felt extremely helpless.

“Maybe I should go.” Changge volunteered.

Liang Yi was the first to object, “No, you have to stay with your younger sister for protection! Besides, Changge, as a young lady, how can you go to such a place of revelry?”

“No problem, we have many people in the Liang family. Are you afraid we won’t find someone to investigate this matter?” Liang Wei spoke, “Shimei, focus on your tasks. If we find anything, we’ll let you know.”

Liu Shimei was speechless.

Well, there was no need to resist. She couldn’t compete with so many people alone!

After the meal, Liu Shimei took her leave.

Liang Yi escorted them out, squatting down and smiling at Shu Yutong, “Tongtong, next time, Uncle Nine will find you more fun toys, okay?”

It was evident that he really liked Shu Yutong.

Shu Yutong also felt his kindness and was very polite to him, “Okay, thank you, Uncle Nine!”

She sweetly smiled at him.

Liang Yi’s heart melted instantly, and he patted her head, “So well-behaved!”

He then lifted the little girl onto the carriage and said, “Listen to your master obediently!”

With the attention now on his little niece, he no longer focused on his sister, making the silly puppy the happiest person.

Huangfu Lingyao stared at Liang Yi and Shu Yutong, calculating in his mind, ‘How can I please my wife? Maybe sending Shu Yutong to stay with Liang Yi for a few days?’

This matter required careful consideration!

Since Zhang Miaozhen lived in the Fusheng Pavilion, Liu Shimei did not return directly to the Grand Chancellor’s Residence from the Liang family but came back here.

“Have you found any clues about Du Gong?” Zhang Miaozhen had just helped Liu Shimei organize the account books.

Liu Shimei shook her head, “These rats hiding in the gutter are clever. It’s not easy to flush them out. We can’t be impatient; otherwise, we’ll mess things up.”

Zhang Miaozhen looked at her, her face a mix of worry and encouragement, “Shimei, you’ve faced more troubles than I have. How do you maintain such a clear mind and stable mentality?”

Liu Shimei smiled at her and said, “Crying can relieve emotions, but it can’t solve any problems! It’s okay to cry when you’re sad, but you can’t keep crying.”

“You’re right,” Zhang Miaozhen relied on her encouragement to stand up from this incident.

She sighed, “I still want to thank you for not despising me and being willing to be my friend.”

Liu Shimei lightly smiled, “If we’re friends, there’s no need for such words.”

After organizing the account books, with not much for Liu Shimei to do personally, she decided to go to the experiment room.

However, her silly dog pulled her hand, wanting to say something but hesitating..
