Traveling to the ancient harem

Chapter 148: Warning from Wuyou Pavilion

The death of Aunt Li left a mystery for the entire Qiu family. The Qiu family issued an obituary stating that she had unfortunately passed away due to a sudden illness. Her family background was not prominent to begin with, and she also knew that the Qiu family had always been very good to her, so she didn't say anything. Her death was like a drop of water falling into a pond, causing a slight ripple, and then calming down.

However, the situation inside the Qiu Mansion was not peaceful. After this incident, Old Madam Qiu began to pay attention to the affairs of the backyard again. She and the Second Madam combed the backyard again, but still did not find any suspicious people or things. It seemed that only Aunt Li, who was now lying in the ground, knew about the heart-eating poison.

As for the two children born to Aunt Li, after the brother came back, Mr. Qiu called the whole family together for a family meeting and told him about Aunt Li's use of poison to harm people and the consequences of this incident.

My brother is already twelve years old this year, and he understands very well how big a threat this incident poses to the entire Qiu family. Besides, my sister also saw with her own eyes how her aunt suffered backlash, so the two children do not have any resentment towards the death of their biological mother, and they are also glad that the matter was discovered early so that no major disaster was caused.

After the poisonous insect died, Mrs. Qiu took the diet prescribed by Huang Ye and the medicine to replenish her qi and blood, and her health improved day by day. She was a person who was tough on the outside but soft on the inside. She had liked the two children very much before she was poisoned, so she proposed to register them under her name. Naturally, the Qiu family agreed, and the two children were also very happy. From now on, they were also the legitimate children of the eldest wife of the Qiu family.

Huang Ye went to see the children on the day of their official adoption. Both of them were doing well. She could only sigh that the Qiu family had a good family background. The two children had lived with Aunt Li for so many years and had not grown up in bad ways.

There is another thing. Qing Yuer reported that Xu Rou went to the shop opened by Wuyou Pavilion again. His people just followed her from a distance and didn't know the specific situation. However, Qiu Die went with her this time, so she should know something.

"Hongdou, let's visit the Bo's Mansion again tonight." Huang Ye was extremely worried about Xu Rou, not to mention that it involved Wuyou Pavilion. Only if she knew the content of the transaction between them could she deal with it in advance. If it was aimed at her personally, she was not afraid, but she was afraid that this madman would target her family like before.

The night in the Changning Marquis' Mansion was as peaceful as before. Huang Ye and Hong Dou found Tingfengju as if they were familiar with the place, sneaked into the room where Qiudie lived, and woke up the sleeping Qiudie. For safety reasons, she sprinkled a handful of sleeping pills. Within an hour, the people in Tingfengju could not be awakened even by thunder.

Qiu Die was awakened, and when she saw Huang Ye, she wanted to salute him, but Huang Ye quickly stopped her: "I told you before, there are no so many rules in front of me. I have people in this house, and I know all about your situation. I came here this time just to ask you about the store you went to with Xu Rou this time."

Qiu Die looked at Huang Ye excitedly. She had a lot to say to her benefactor, but she couldn't contact him normally. Now, as soon as Xu Rou opened her eyes, she wanted her to serve her, and she couldn't get away at all.

Qiu Die recalled with them that since she was now trusted by Xu Rou, she took her to meet the masked man after arriving at the store.

The masked man recognized Xu Rou. After all, he had made two deals with her a few years ago. This time, Xu Rou didn't come to them for anything. She had no money now. Even though Tingfengju was unsealed, the lady still loved her but didn't give her money anymore. She didn't dare to ask for it like before. Her mother was not poor, so she came this time to ask them why they didn't do what they promised her and why the second young master of the Huang family didn't die.

The masked man was not polite either: "We have done what we promised the young lady. The medicine really has no antidote, at least no one can do it within a hundred years. The Huang family's brother was lucky to escape. They also want to know what happened." What he meant was that they had already taken the money to do the job, and what followed had nothing to do with Wuyou Pavilion.

Xu Rou couldn't do anything about them. This matter was not something that could be disclosed to others. As a weak woman, what could she do to others? She could only leave angrily. However, as she was walking out, the masked man said something that caught Huang Ye's attention. The man said, "Since we have had two transactions before, I would like to give you a piece of advice. Miss, don't provoke the Huang family in the future." The tone of his voice sounded as if they were being reprimanded for this matter.

After listening to Qiu Die's words, Huang Ye felt relieved. It was hard to say whether Wuyou Pavilion was an enemy or a friend, but at least, it would not deal with the Huang family in the near future.

"I have already instructed that if you have anything important in the future, you can contact Master Xu from the kitchen of the Bo Mansion. He is our man. Remember, don't do anything dangerous. If you encounter danger, don't give up. As long as I know, I will definitely find a way to save you." Huang Ye said to Qiu Die.

Qiu Die kept nodding her head. She believed that her benefactor was a man of her words. If one day she could serve this lady, she would die without any regrets.

Hibiscus Garden

It is now the tenth month of the lunar calendar and winter has arrived. On this day, Huang Ye is sitting next to the charcoal brazier, reading a storybook with great interest. They have agreed to have dinner in the yard in the evening. Green Bean Eyebrows has prepared the ingredients for the hot pot and they are just waiting for the two men on duty to come back so that they can start eating in a lively manner.

"Is my sister-in-law about to give birth?" she asked Hongdou.

"Madam said it would last until the end of the month." Hongdou's fire-roasting mouth was not idle either, and would eat something after a while.

"Let's have hotpot tonight, be careful you may not be able to eat it." Huang Ye looked at her with amusement.

"It's okay, I'll practice with Uncle Song later, and I guarantee my stomach will be full." Hongdou was not afraid.

After Hong Ge'er went north, Uncle Song stayed in the mansion to take charge of the safety of the entire mansion. He lived alone in Qingsangju. Huang Ye and Hong Dou went there to practice martial arts every day, and he would give them some pointers. These two girls were very fierce, and even he couldn't resist them when they joined forces.
