Chapter 229: Don’t Dare to Eat

Madam Tang forced a smile and said, “I’m not sick. How can I take medicine randomly? Any medicine is a bit poisonous. I’m pregnant now, so I can’t take medicine.”

“This is real ginseng. If you don’t believe me, look for your master. Although everyone misunderstood me, I’ll still do it. I’m doing this for my sister’s sake.”

Madam Tang looked sad, trying to gain Su Xiaolu’s sympathy in this way.

It was always easier to deal with children than adults.

This child doesn’t look old. If she shows more weakness, a little tears should be enough.

“You’re pregnant, huh? All the more reason to take this. This pill of mine is good for your health. It’ll cure a lot of illnesses. Take it.”

Su Xiaolu smiled and took a step towards her.

Madam Tang was so shocked that he instinctively took a step back. ‘Why is it so hard to convince this wretched child?’

Su Xiaolu smiled harmlessly and looked at Madam Tang with curved eyes. “As long as you don’t eat it, I won’t believe you. You must have poisoned it.”

Madam Tang only found it tricky. She had poisoned it, but she couldn’t say it out loud. This was the medicine that made people bleed. She was pregnant. If she took this medicine, she would have an abortion. She didn’t dare take it.

She hoped that Su Xiaolu would take it to Madam Yin so that she would bleed to death.

But if she didn’t eat it now, she wouldn’t be believed. If she did, she would lose the baby.

It was really annoying. The smile on Madam Tang’s face became even more forced. She maintained her smile with difficulty and took out a pouch from her pocket and handed it to Su Xiaolu. “Young lady, if you put this in and give it to Madam, the 200 taels of silver in my bag is yours. This should be fine, right?”

Wealth was tempting. She did not believe that a young girl would not be tempted by such a huge sum.

“Little girl, with this banknote, you can buy many beautiful clothes and jewelry. You’re so good-looking, but you’re not dressed as well as a maidservant. It’s really a pity. Take the silver and dress up.”

Madam Tang stuffed the pouch into Su Xiaolu’s arms.

Su Xiaolu accepted the banknotes with a smile. “Sure.”

Seeing that Su Xiaolu was willing to accept it, Madam Tang heaved a sigh of relief and gave Su Xiaolu an encouraging look. “Little girl, you have to keep it a secret. You can’t tell your master. Otherwise, he won’t buy you beautiful clothes and jewelry after taking the money.”

With that, she turned around and left with a gentle smile.

There was nothing in this world that money could not handle.

Su Xiaolu put away the poisoned biscuit, cleaned up, and headed for the main courtyard.

They arrived at the main courtyard.

Madam Yin had just woken up and was having her afternoon tea.

When Su Xiaolu went in, Madam Yin smiled at her and said, “Miss Su, you’re here. Why are you looking for me? Do you want to have some afternoon tea together?”

Madam Yin’s appetite was not very good. She ate white fungus soup.

Her belly was too big for her stomach to hold much food. If she ate too much, it would make her nauseous and vomit even worse, so she always ate less and ate more.

She had a maidservant waiting on her.

Su Xiaolu said, “Madam, I have something to tell you. Let the maidservants leave first.”

Madam Yin looked at Su Xiaolu’s serious expression and took her seriously. She waved her hand and said, “You guys can leave first.”

The maid withdrew.

Su Xiaolu took out a purse with silver notes and poisonous medicinal cuisine biscuits.

Madam Yin frowned, puzzled. “This is…”

Su Xiaolu said directly, “Madam Yin, Aunt Tang gave this to me. She wants me to add this. This thing is poison.”

A look of disgust flashed across Madam Yin’s face. “That b*tch!”

Madam Tang was up to no good. She was waiting for herself to die. She wanted to open her stomach and take her child. Even if there was a chance of survival, Madam Tang did not want to take the risk. She wanted her dead.

Why couldn’t Master see through such a vicious person?

As she thought about it, Madam Yin felt sad. “Miss Su, thank you.”

Su Xiaolu smiled and said, “Madam Yin, do you want to expose Aunt Tang?”

Su Xiaolu decided to help Madam Yin.

Madam Yin revealed a conflicted expression. “Of course I want to, but Master’s heart is all on her. Madam Tang has always been careful. She acts in front of me and in front of Master. How can I expose her?”

Madam Yin gritted her teeth at the thought.

When such a woman entered the house, she naturally hated her to the core. Madam Tang’s methods were too good. In front of Yin Changshun, Madam Tang was a delicate flower that needed to be protected.

She wanted to expose her, but Madam Tang didn’t have any flaws. There was really nothing she could do.

For this woman, the husband and wife broke apart. The more they thought about it, the more uncomfortable they felt.

Su Xiaolu blinked and smiled. “Madam, this is a good opportunity. There’s no better opportunity.”

Madam Yin was stunned. She looked at Su Xiaolu and asked, “I don’t understand.”

Su Xiaolu smiled and said, “Madam, this is very simple. You just have to cooperate with me and pretend to have passed away from poison. Before that, you need to deal with Lord Yin and let him spy on me in the dark to open your stomach. You said that you only trust him. Lord Yin will agree to this small request.”

“Master and I will cooperate when the time comes. As long as we make Aunt Tang feel that you’re going to die, as the victor, she naturally has to enjoy the fruits of victory. It’s just you and her. She will definitely say some harsh words.”

With Madam Yin about to die, Madam Tang did not have the time to pretend with her.

She must say something to make Madam Yin die in pain while she enjoyed the fruits of victory high above.

Madam Tang, who was very good at disguising herself as an attacker, would probably only not disguise herself at such a time.

Madam Yin was tempted and agreed without thinking. “Okay, let’s do it.”

This was indeed a good opportunity. If she used it well, she would be able to tear off Madam Tang’s disguise and let Yin Changshun see clearly what kind of evil heart a kind-hearted woman like her had.

After chatting with Madam Yin, Su Xiaolu went back.

She sent clean medicinal cuisine pancakes to Madam Yin for dinner.

She left the rest to Madam Yin herself.

Madam Yin thought carefully after Su Xiaolu left.

Thinking of Yin Changshun, she felt love and hate in her heart. After all, they had been husband and wife for many years. It would be a lie to say that there was no love.

She was old, and it was normal for Yin Changshun to prefer new ones and hate the old. She did not feel good, but she did not stop him from taking a concubine.

What she hated was that Yin Changshun could not see right and wrong. He only had eyes for newbies.

Now, she still had to make him see the layout and plan clearly. She was not balanced at all. Madam Yin thought for two days and looked much better after eating the medicinal cuisine cake. Only then did the maidservant invite Yin Changshun over.

Yin Changshun came and saw that Madam Yin looked much better. He said, “Madam, you look much better. Madam, don’t lie to me. Don’t wear rouge and makeup to deceive me. Before I came, Yan’er said that you might be like this.”

One sentence and Madam Yin almost flipped the table.
