In a secluded corner of the garden, Qiuju and Dongkui were sitting on the grass.

Dong Kui said with some concern, "Fourth sister, I wonder how Third sister's injury is..."

Qiuju curled her lips.

"You might as well worry about yourself instead of her. She is eating and drinking well in Haitangyuan now, and she doesn't have to work. I'm afraid she won't have to work in the future either...

"A moment of hardship will bring long-term sweetness. Life is much better than ours!"

Qiuju's words sounded sour, but Dongkui felt that the third sister was really lucky after hearing them!

When I was a child, my third sister was the favorite at home. Among the sisters, she ate the best and did the least work.

When she grew up and entered the Sheng Mansion, everything went smoothly. Now, after this incident, people outside know that the third sister is Sheng Mingzhu's biological sister, and she will definitely live a good life in the future.

Dongkui sighed and said softly.

"Fourth sister, do you think we did something wrong from the beginning? If we confessed at the beginning..."

Hearing this, a hint of unclear emotion flashed across Qiuju's eyes. She bit her lower lip and said nothing.

When the two sisters first entered the Sheng Mansion, they were worried that the mistress would find out that they were Tao Niang's daughters and take revenge on them, so they tried their best to hide it and told many lies.

Later, Huang Yaning was released from house arrest early and recognized them at a glance.

They knelt down and begged for mercy, and also agreed to help Huang Yaning do something extremely unfilial, only then could they continue to stay in the Sheng Mansion.

Later, the two sisters were often instructed by Huang Yaning to do things.

As they spend more time in the mansion, their horizons gradually broaden and their minds become more scheming...

They finally realized that it was actually okay for the lady to know their true identities.

Because Madam did not torture Xia Zhi back then, Madam can forgive Xia Zhi, and naturally she will forgive them as well.

Moreover, if the Madam knew that they were Sheng Mingzhu's biological sisters, she might even praise them to anger Sheng Mingzhu.

As for the Seventh Miss, she only scared Xia Zhi but did not take his life.

When they were young, they treated Miss Seven much better than Xia Zhi. As long as they could keep themselves calm, they would be fine at most if they suffered a little.

Later, there was no need to do that kind of thing for Miss Seven...

Some time ago, Dong Kui heard two little girls chatting and said that the young masters of the Sheng family have always been very friendly to Xia Zhi...

The young masters probably looked up to Xia Zhi because of Sheng Mingzhu.

If the young masters knew that they were both Sheng Mingzhu's biological sisters, would they treat them better?

Will they have more opportunities?

Recently, the little devil in the mansion has been trying hard to get to the top, which makes Qiuju and Dongkui even more anxious.

If they want to be concubines, these two years are the best opportunity.

Otherwise, in two years, Madam will probably have to arrange marriages for several young masters...

Qiuju took a deep breath, looked straight at Dongkui and said.

"Perhaps, we can find a suitable time to reveal our true identities -

"This way, even if we do something 'unlawful', we can rely on our blood relationship with her to get a lighter sentence -"

"Fourth sister..."

Dongkui was very shocked, she understood what these words meant.

I heard that the young master wanted to beat Qingxin to death that night when Qingxin climbed into bed, but it was the mistress who showed mercy and saved Qingxin...

If they first exposed their blood relationship with Sheng Mingzhu and then plotted against their master...

Even if the master is angry and wants to beat them to death, Sheng Mingzhu can't just watch her own sister die, right?

Dong Kui swallowed nervously, and after a while, as if she had made up her mind, she said, "Fourth sister, I'll listen to you—"

Qiu Ju nodded and said, "We need to think about this matter carefully and we can't rush it."

"Well, Fourth Sister, have some cakes--"

Dongkui wanted to eat something when she was nervous, so she took out the pastries from her sleeve pocket.

The pastries were sent by the people from Furongyuan, three big boxes in total.

The Fifth Young Master was in no mood for snacks, so he gave them all to his subordinates.

She saw some very beautiful snacks that she had never seen before, so she picked them out first and distributed the rest to other servants.

"You eat, I have no appetite..."

Qiuju knew that those were the snacks sent by Sheng Mingzhu, and the Third Young Master also received them, but she didn't taste any of them.

Dongkui didn't force herself and started eating.

The pastry was crispy and crunchy, and the filling was made of bacon, which was very salty and fragrant. Dongkui thought it tasted very good.

I thought I'd give it to the Fifth Young Master next time, maybe he'd like it...

Dongkui ate and pondered while listening to the fourth sister talking about her family and mother. She wondered where her mother was now and how she was doing...

If they could get in touch with mother, she might be able to ask Sheng Mingzhu to take better care of them.

As she listened, Dongkui suddenly felt a pain in her abdomen, so painful that she broke out in a cold sweat.

"what happened to you?"

Qiuju soon discovered that Dongkui could hardly sit still, his face was pale, and beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead. She was shocked.

Dong Kui opened her mouth to speak, but as soon as she opened her mouth, a mouthful of smelly blood flowed out...

Qiuju's shock turned into terror. She jumped up instantly and looked around.

"Dongkui - Wuya - what happened to you? Were you bitten by a poisonous snake?"

It’s no wonder Qiu Ju reacted like this. The housekeeper in the mansion has reminded her many times recently that this season is the time when snakes are most likely to appear.

Now the flowers and plants in the garden are growing luxuriantly, and the manager has asked everyone not to wander around in the secluded parts of the garden if they have nothing to do...

Everyone is very obedient and doesn't come to the garden unless necessary, so the two of them often meet in the garden at this time recently to encourage and comfort each other without worrying about being discovered.

"Third sister...save...me...the snacks...are poisonous..."

Dong Kui said these words with a weak breath and fell to the ground.

Qiu Ju froze where she was.

Is the snack poisonous?

Sheng Mingzhu wants to kill Dong Kui?

Thinking about how Dongkui had just invited her to have snacks together, Qiuju felt a chill in her heart.

If she had eaten it, the two of them would have died quietly here, and no one would have been able to save them...

When others find their bodies in the future, they might think they were bitten to death by poisonous snakes...

So, Sheng Mingzhu wanted to kill her and Dong Kui?

Did Sheng Mingzhu learn of their existence from Xia Zhi and hate them for bringing shame upon themselves, so she wanted to kill them to silence them?

Is this the first thing that came to Qiuju’s mind?

Then, hatred rushed to her head, and Qiuju felt that Sheng Mingzhu was even more poisonous than a snake or scorpion!

Qiuju carried Dongkui on her back and walked towards the government doctor. Before carrying Dongkui on her back, Qiuju did not forget to pick up the two uneaten snacks on the ground.
