He favored his concubine and I cut off my wealth. Everyone in the mansion was in a panic.

In a corner where no one could see, Mother Zhang sprinkled all the powder in the medicine bag into Yanglinghou's tea cup, then pulled out the silver hairpin on her head and stirred it carefully before taking it out.

On the way, Zhang’s mother looked at Mrs. Yanglinghou and asked Mrs. Yanglinghou’s opinion for the last time.

Mrs. Yanglinghou nodded, and Mother Zhang sent the tea cup to Yanglinghou's table without any further hesitation.

Mrs. Yanglinghou followed and said: "Qian'er is right. In recent years, I have been too arbitrary, which has caused the Marquis to suffer a lot of grievances. For this cup of tea, just treat me as the Marquis." Apologize."

Yanglinghou had never seen such a battle before, and his expression immediately softened, "Madam, you are serious. I was also wrong. After drinking this cup of tea, all the previous resentments and conflicts will be wiped out. I also promise you that you will never They are all my revered first wife, Mu Linyuan, and the most distinguished wife of the Yangling Marquis Mansion."

Mrs. Yanglinghou's eyes were slightly red, a smile appeared on her lips, and she said "Okay".

Yangling Marquis picked up the tea cup and took a sip, admiring: "It is indeed a Songshan Silver Needle worth a thousand taels of silver per tael. The taste is indeed not comparable to ordinary tea."

Seeing that the two of them got back together, Mu Ziqian breathed a sigh of relief and could finally talk about the topic.

"Father, at noon today, I went to Tinglan Courtyard as you asked."

Yanglinghou immediately asked, "What did Shen Qing say?"

Mu Ziqian pursed his lips and recited Shen Qing's original words in full: "Shen Qing said that even if she really wanted a child, she would not ask her son to do this. She also said that her son should go to the Nanfeng Pavilion to hang a sign and put it on the government's account. Make some money."

After hearing this, Mrs. Yanglinghou's face immediately turned cold, "I really rebelled against her! If she doesn't have a child with you, will she still have Hongxing cheat on her? She is so shameless! And where is the Nanfeng Pavilion? She keeps talking about it, it’s no wonder she is the legitimate daughter who was carefully taught by the Yining Marquis!"

Yang Linghou was worried about something else. If Shen Qing was really so determined, he would be in big trouble.

As if he didn't believe that Shen Qing really didn't have any nostalgia for Mu Ziqian, Marquis Yangling asked again: "You went to see Shen Qing today. Is your attitude okay?"

Because of Lin Xuefu's miscarriage, Mu Ziqian was quite prejudiced against Shen Qing. Marquis Yangling was afraid that he would not be able to control his temper for a while, which led to the current result.

Mu Ziqian nodded solemnly, "Father, don't worry, I definitely didn't lose my temper. It was Shen Qing who kept mocking me."

Marquis Yangling pondered slightly, "It seems like Shen Qing is really heartbroken."

Mrs. Yanglinghou looked disdainful, "Xue Fu was not sad even if she committed herself to be a concubine. She has nothing to be sad about. After all, she is still a young lady from a big family, so she is pretentious."

Marquis Yangling glanced at her and wanted to say, "You reacted more violently than Shen Qing to the same thing. Why can't others be sad?" However, since the two had just reconciled, he did not say it out loud.

Mu Ziqian looked at the two of them, "Father, mother, it doesn't matter whether Shen Qing is hurt or not. What's important is that the current Shen Qing is very unfavorable to us, so I want to use some means to change Shen Qing back to his former self. Look."

Mrs. Yanglinghou looked surprised, "Change back to the way you were before? How? You've been given steps, and you've said good things. Do you really want your father and I to go and admit our mistakes to her?"

Marquis Yangling immediately refused: "Impossible. How can I, the noble Marquis, bend down to a woman in a house?"

Mu Ziqian motioned for the two of them to drink tea, "Father and mother, please be patient. That's not what I meant. I wanted to find some chronic poison and secretly feed it to Shen Qing, draining her body bit by bit, so that she would naturally If you don’t have the energy to trouble us again, the Marquis of Yining won’t raise an army to hold you accountable.”

After he finished speaking, a look of pride flashed in his eyes.

He thought about this plan for a whole afternoon before perfecting it.

Marquis Yangling also felt that Mu Ziqian's idea was very good, but he still warned: "There are ways, but the poison must be chosen carefully, and the onset time must not be too short, otherwise Shen Yi'an may be aware of it."

If Shen Yi'an knew that they were secretly plotting to murder Shen Qing, Marquis Yangling could not imagine the anger the Mu family would face.

Mrs. Yanglinghou also nodded in agreement, "Also, the opportunity to administer the medicine must be chosen well. Shen Qing now controls many people in the house, and she must not be aware of it in advance."

Mrs. Yanglinghou also knew very well that if Shen Qing knew that they secretly poisoned her, their life would be even more difficult.

After thinking for a long time, Mrs. Yangling Hou said: "Let me solve the poison issue. Tomorrow happens to be the day when Zhang's mother goes back to visit relatives. Let her go to the Chinese medicine shop in the city to avoid sending someone alone to make Shen Qing angry. Be suspicious."

Marquis Yangling and Mu Ziqian nodded.

"Then leave it to me to administer the medicine. I happen to have people over there in the dining room."

After Mu Ziqian finished speaking, Yanglinghou and his wife were stunned, "Are you still placing people in the mansion?"

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Mu Ziqian's face, "When Fu'er was pregnant, I took Qingzhu's body, and she was completely devoted to me."

Qingzhu is the daughter of Mama Liu from the kitchen. With her around, it would be very easy for Mu Ziqian to administer the medicine.

Hearing this, Madam Yanglinghou was startled for a moment, then frowned and said, "Be careful, don't let Fu'er know about it. She just had a miscarriage a few days ago, so she can't be too stimulated."

Marquis Yangling also agreed, "Your mother is right, especially that we cannot have children. The eldest grandson of our Marquis Yangling Mansion cannot be born in the belly of a slave. It's not glorious."

Mu Ziqian agreed: "Don't worry, father and mother, I know what's going on."

After the three-person meeting, Mu Ziqian asked someone to carry him back to Fuyun Pavilion. Perhaps because of Qingzhu just mentioned, Mu Ziqian felt a little guilty.

Marquis Yangling also got up and returned to Fuchun Hall. Qin Luan's body was getting heavier and heavier, and he was worried.

Looking at the backs of the father and son leaving one after another, the face of the wife of Marquis Yangling suddenly turned cold, and her eyes turned to the teacup that Marquis Yangling had just used, and a trace of sadness rose at the corner of her mouth.

She and Marquis Yangling, after all, have come to this point today, suspecting each other and calculating each other.

...

The next morning, Mother Zhang left with a small bundle. Because she was visiting relatives, she left openly.

After Hao Ji passed the message, he followed him out of the mansion.

Tinglan Courtyard.

After receiving the message from Hao Ji, Shen Qing couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly. It must be said that it was a great move for her to bring Hao Ji under her command.

While it was still early, Shen Qing took Chan Yi out of the house. Thinking that she hadn't visited Mu Lingyue for a long time, Shen Qing went to the Minister's Mansion.

Mu Lingyue's foundation was pretty good, and with the help of Huiling Baiyu Paste, her legs could move slightly now, but it would take some time for her to walk normally.

Seeing that it was getting late, Shen Qing didn't stay any longer and went to the Linjiang Building that Ling Yi was preparing recently.

Linjiang Building is located on Luoquan Street in the east of the city. In front of the door is a bustling street market, and behind the door is the rippling Luoquan River. The geographical location is extremely advantageous. Of course, the price is also good. The transaction price is a full 200,000 taels of silver. That is Shen Qing. Ordinary merchants really can't afford so much silver.

When Shen Qing came, the door of Linjiang Building was closed, obviously it had not yet opened.

Chan Yi went forward and knocked on the door. The servant spoke and responded politely: "Miss, our restaurant is not open yet. Please come back in a few days."

Chan Yi took out a golden sign from her sleeve. The servant paused and quickly invited the two in.

Shen Qing took a look at the gorgeously decorated hall and followed the servant upstairs.

Linjiang Building has three floors, the first floor is for dining, the second floor is for ordinary private rooms, and the third floor is for extremely luxurious luxury private rooms. There are four rooms in total. The cost of each private room alone is one hundred taels of silver, which can be said to be extremely luxurious.

Shen Qing went to the third floor, and Ling Yi was in the first room, Luomeixuan.

When he pushed the door open, he saw a young woman in green sitting in the corner with a thick stack of account books in front of her. It was Ling Yi without a doubt.

Seeing Shen Qing, Ling Yi's face was filled with surprise, "The master is here."

Shen Qing replied lightly, "Well, let's see your recent progress."

Ling Yi smiled, "I have already prepared the things for Linjiang Building, and it will probably be set up by the end of this month, but I plan to open it on the fifth day of next month."

The fifth day of the fifth month is the Dragon Boat Festival, which is also Shen Qing's birthday.

Shen Qing understood Ling Yi's intention as soon as he heard it, and a smile appeared in his eyes, "You always have a heart."

Ling Yi's eyebrows were full of gentleness, and she said as if jokingly, "There is no way, without the master, there would be no Ling Yi today."

Shen Qing smiled lightly, picked up the teacup and took a sip, "Do you have any objection to cultivating the Jianghu forces?"

Ling Yi picked up the teapot to add tea to Shen Qing, "No objection, I will help the master do whatever he wants."

Chan Yi frowned when she heard it, she knew that in front of Shen Qing, Ling Yi had even less bottom line than herself.

…

It was almost the end of the Shen hour when Shen Qing came out of Linjiang Tower. Ling Yi sent her to the carriage. Ling Yi did not return to Linjiang Tower until the carriage completely disappeared from sight.

When Shen Qing returned to Yangling Marquis's Mansion, the sun had completely set.

As soon as she arrived at the gate of Tinglan Courtyard, news came from Hao Ji.

Mother Zhang did go home to visit her relatives today, but she came back just after Wei hour. However, she did not go back to the Marquis's Mansion directly, but went to Huichun Hall first.

Shen Qing paused slightly. Huichun Hall again?
