Peasant Woman's Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 2392: Chapter 2389: Her Plan

“But if this matter involves both Lady Qi and Elder Qi San, he won’t be able to protect both of them.” Ye Muyu squinted, already having a plan in mind, even if ultimately he couldn’t move against Elder Qi San, Emperor Xuanming’s dislike for Minister Qi would only grow.

Sometimes, seemingly insignificant matters can pile up, making it difficult for Emperor Xuanming to trust Minister Qi, especially since Minister Qi isn’t a confidant of the Emperor. He uses him but doesn’t trust him, and his apprehension means even if Emperor Xuanming ultimately chooses King Qi, Minister Qi won’t remain.

This is the cruelty of the Royal Family.

The overreach of maternal relatives is the reverse scale of all emperors.

Especially, considering the past incident with the Lin family of the Previous Empress.

Even if the facts prove the Lin family was wronged, Emperor Xuanming will not admit it, showing his attitude of rather killing wrongly than missing an opportunity.

“I understand,” Su Mei felt better, because the lady was clearly revitalized, willing to do so much to deal with the Qi family, which was better than watching the master grow thinner by the day.

Su Mei soon went down to carry it out.

She noticed someone tailing her as soon as she left the mansion.

Su Mei’s lips curled into a sarcastic smile, then she directly headed to the shop, and as usual, managed some miscellaneous affairs to restore order to the messy shop.

When she came out, her face was extremely unsightly.

It was because someone had hurriedly informed her that there was an incident at the school.

Ye Muyu had established the school in the capital after Chu Heng had an incident.

Su Mei rushed off in a hurry.

The person tailing her hadn’t seen anyone approach her.

Little did they know.

Zhu San’s contact already had people working in the shop, though they didn’t recognize each other, only knowing they were working for the Chu family.

Naturally, they couldn’t find any traces of communication outside and remained undetected by hiding a bit.

Meanwhile, Su Mei hurried to the school.

Seeing unclear situation everywhere, obviously poisoned students, and parents hugging their children, crying after hearing the news, Su Mei immediately arranged for people to bring all the students inside the building, sending someone for a doctor, while calming the parents’ emotions.

Once the school’s doors closed, the commoners watching outside became somewhat dissatisfied and started discussing.

“What’s actually going on? Those children look in danger, how come no one’s reported to the government?”

“What’s the use of reporting? I heard the school runs a canteen. I say, there’s no free lunch in the world, they’re paying now for their greed. Now look, they haven’t learned anything but are losing their lives.”

“Exactly, those with background aren’t affected even if reported, the yamen only serve the nobles, where do we commoners stand a chance.”

“I saw someone called a doctor earlier, maybe nothing big happened?” someone said discontentedly.

“A whole bunch is lying there now, what’s the point of getting a doctor now? I say, these kids are surely done for.”

“Are you so sure? Wait a few days and find out, whether something happened, just see if these children continue to attend school.”

The crowd slowly dispersed, but those living nearby kept this incident in mind, constantly inquiring, leading to the whole street knowing, stirring quite a commotion.

However, it’s unclear why, as no one from the government stepped in.
