Chapter 167

Cui Liu was a little bit incredulous when she suddenly got Xu Yuan's answer.

"As long as you have the heart, you can learn from the most basic even if you don't know something." Xu Yuan replied.

As soon as they arrived at the Duke's Mansion, Xu Yuan couldn't wait to go back to the courtyard to see her Yi'er.

Especially when she saw the fifth prince in the palace, she missed Yi'er even more.

Ye Yu and her own Yi'er are similar in name. If their life stories are revealed one day, who knows what kind of turmoil will be caused.

What she can do now is to develop an antidote to cure the frost poison as soon as possible.

Only in this way, there will be no future troubles when the real danger comes.

She strode into the courtyard and saw the wet nurse holding the child and coaxing him gently. When she saw Xu Yuan, her expression was respectful.

"Miss."

"Has anything happened during the time I was away?" Xu Yuan asked as she stretched out her hand to take the child from the wet nurse.

The nurse thought for a moment and replied to Xu Yuan, "The master and the Bai Guzhu came."

"The Bai Guzhu seemed to have examined the young master and then left."

"Other than that, there was nothing wrong." Xu Yuan nodded gently.

At this time, a call came from outside.

"Miss, just now a guard who claimed to be the prince came to ask me to give you this thing."

The guard stood outside the courtyard and reported to Xu Yuan there.

Xu Yuan winked at Cui Liu.

Cui Liu stepped forward quickly and took the thing from the guard, and the guard left.

"Miss, where is this thing?"

"Put it in the inner room first and deal with it when you are free."

Xu Yuan gave the order and looked at the child in her arms. During this period of time, with the Bai Guzhu here, Yi'er's condition was completely stable, and the red spots on her arm were slowly fading.

But Xu Yuan understood that the current phenomenon was only superficial. As long as the frost poison was not resolved, even if the red spots had disappeared, they would reappear one day.

She could not be careless.

She carried the child into the inner room and asked everyone around, including Cui Liu, to leave one by one.

Thinking of the experiences during this period, she couldn't help but feel deeply moved.

"Yier, no matter how difficult the road ahead is, no matter how much it costs, mother will never let anything happen to you."

Xu Yuan's eyes were full of determination.

The baby in her arms seemed to understand Xu Yuan's words, and her little fingers gently touched her. In that instant, Xu Yuan's heart felt like it was about to melt.

After the child fell asleep, Xu Yuan put it in the cradle, and after making sure that it was all right, she picked up the recipe from the table.

The booklet not only records the ingredients, but also some time and conditions. Just from these, Xu Yuan could roughly understand the situation.

Xu Yuan read the booklet, but did not find anything unusual in it, which means that Ye Zilan's poison did not come from the recipe.

If there is no problem with the recipe, it is largely related to the people around him.

When she has the chance next time, she will ask in detail to avoid any details being overlooked.

And in the Marquis' Mansion.

Lu Rou's attitude towards the maids who came back became worse and worse. "I just asked you to find out some information, but you can't even do such a small thing. What's the point of keeping you!"

The maids were frightened by Lu Rou's attitude and trembled.

They knelt down and begged for mercy. "Madam Lu, it's not that we don't do our best, but the guards of the Duke's Mansion are strict and we can't enter with our status." They couldn't understand why this Madam Lu was interested in the young Master Yi'er when Shen Nu was obviously Lu Rou's child.

"Excuse!"

"Come on, drag them out and beat them up." Lu Rou said hatefully, and the crying of the baby came from outside.

Just by hearing the sound, Lu Rou knew that it was the wet nurse who came back with that bastard.

She couldn't see her own child, but the bastard born by Xu Yuan was causing trouble for her all day long.

Lu Rou felt a flame burning in her heart just thinking about it. She thought that she could rest assured by using some tricks to drive Xu Yuan out.

Who would have thought that she got the divorce letter from somewhere and proposed to take the child away with her.

The more Lu Rou thought about it, the angrier she felt. Xu Yuan, this bitch, would use some insidious means to separate her from her precious Yi'er.

She must have remembered this account. When the Duke's Mansion falls into decline one day, she will repay Xu Yuan a thousand times to relieve her hatred.

Seeing that the crying outside had not stopped, Lu Rou simply left the yard and yelled at the nurse, "Nanny, how many times have I told you not to bring this bastard here?"

The nurse was suddenly scolded and felt helpless while holding Shen Nu.

"Aunt Lu, there is something wrong with the condition of the young master, especially the rash on his body. Can you ask a doctor to take a look?"

Lu Rou was dismissive of the nurse's request. When she looked at Shen Nu in the nurse's arms, there was only disgust in her eyes.

"It's just a few rashes, what's the big deal?"

"Besides, you've been taking care of this bastard all this time. Now that something has happened, I haven't blamed you yet, but you're asking me first!"

Lu Rou's intention was obviously to let the nurse solve the problem herself.

Faced with Lu Rou's ruthlessness, the nurse sighed, and there was nothing she could do about it.

It was the first time she had met such a ruthless person.

After all, the child was born after ten months of pregnancy. During this period, Lu Rou didn't care about Shen Nu's affairs at all, and didn't care about any money spent on the child. For this reason, she could only use her monthly salary to subsidize.

As a nurse, the silver she earned was not much, and it was gone as it was consumed day by day.

In the past, the lady was still there, and she could make decisions for the slave master, but now the lady and the marquis are divorced, and there is no one to make decisions.

The nurse's muttering was heard by other maids .

The maid quickly left Lu Rou's courtyard and went to Chun'er's room.

After the last incident, Shen Yun'an and Old Lady Shen knew that Chun'er's miscarriage was inseparable from Lu Rou.

But after returning from the Dali Temple, no one mentioned these people again. Old Madam Shen's attitude towards her was much better than before, and the same was true for Shen Yun'an.

Although Chun'er knew their intentions, how could she be willing to pretend that nothing had happened.

The most important thing is that Lu Rou did all these things, why didn't she get any punishment at all.

If Lu Rou didn't pay a corresponding price, she would never give up.

After seeing the attitudes of these people clearly, Chun'er decided not to tolerate it anymore. After all, she had stayed in the mansion longer than Lu Rou, and she knew best how to win people's hearts.

She had her own spies in both Lu Rou and Old Madam Shen's courtyard.

But in this process, the only thing she didn't expect was that the lady would divorce the marquis so quickly.

Otherwise, with the lady around, at least she could suppress Lu Rou.

But everything in the future would make her more cautious.

"Auntie Chun, someone from Auntie Lu's side is here."
