The wife of a marquis died tragically and was divorced. After her rebirth, she killed people everywh

Mr. Pei saw that Xie Liuzheng was pretending to be relaxed and chatting freely, but there was a hint of worry between his brows.

?

Since she didn't say anything, Mr. Pei didn't ask any further questions, so he said with a hint of meaning: "In fact, the prosperity and bustle of this world are all fake. It is better to be safe and sound than anything else."

?

This was Mr. Pei's way of comforting Xie Liuzheng, and it was also his own way of speaking.

?

The old miracle doctor practiced medicine and saved lives all his life, but he could not escape the temptation of fame, wealth and power in his later years. His reputation was recently ruined and he died in a foreign land, causing his family to lose face in front of others.

?

Mr. Pei recalled the process with a sad look on his face. "The young lady considers me a friend, and I have something to say to her from the bottom of my heart. Sometimes it is wise to retreat and protect yourself."

?

Xie Liuzheng seemed to be thinking about something after hearing this.

?

But he smiled bitterly and shook his head. Whether it was Qin Guangjin and his son or Xiuyunfang, the Xie family had never taken the initiative to provoke others. They only fought back when they were bullied and had no way to retreat.

?

If you don't fight back, how can you protect yourself?

?

Xie Liuzheng did not agree with Mr. Pei's words, but was inspired by them.

?

There was no way to retreat, so they could only fight back. No matter how powerful the owner of Xiuyunfang was, if he dared to bully the Xie family, they would not tolerate him.

?

Thinking of this, the uneasiness and worries in my heart disappeared, and my smile became brighter. I stood up and bowed to Mr. Pei, "Thank you for your advice, Mr. Pei. I always say that I will gain something from talking to you."

?

Mr. Pei felt dizzy when looking at Xie Liuzheng. She was still the same person, but seemed to be different in some way.

?

"Miss, you are welcome. Since we are good friends, I hope everything goes well for you."

?

Xie Liuzheng chatted with Mr. Pei for a few words, then stood up to say goodbye. Since she had decided to fight, she had to sharpen her weapons in advance, as she had too many things to do.

?

Mr. Pei walked her to the door and suddenly remembered something. "Wait a minute, Miss. I have something for you."

?

He trotted over to get it and handed it to Qiuyue, who then gave it to Xie Liuzheng.

?

It was a palm-sized wooden box. Xie Liuzheng took it and opened it. Inside was a sign that looked like it was made of wood and had a faint medicinal scent.

?

Mr. Pei didn't wait for her to ask, and took the initiative to introduce: "I was bored, and I remembered the recipe of the evil-avoiding pills I read in the books at home, so I tried to make a few."

?

"The name of the Evil-Repelling Pill sounds intimidating, but it is actually just some detoxifying and heat-clearing herbs that have been specially prepared and squeezed together for easy carrying."

?

"It's definitely not going to make you immune to all kinds of poisons, but if you wear it regularly, you can keep away mosquitoes, snakes, and ants, and prevent minor illnesses like heat stroke and colds."

?

"If you are poisoned or sick and can't find a doctor, you can take some of the powder from it and take it orally. It can have some effect."

?

Xie Liuzheng had never expected that such an inconspicuous wooden plaque was actually made of medicinal herbs and had so many functions. She curiously turned it over and played with it for a while, then put it in her waist pouch and thanked Mr. Pei with a smile.

?

Mr. Pei waved his hand to indicate that it was no need to be polite, "Compared to what the young lady made for me, this little thing is nothing."

?

When he said this, Mr. Pei never imagined that in the near future, his small gift would save the lives of Xie Liuzheng and Qiuyue.

?

Xie Liuzheng returned to the mansion, and then Fang Cheng came.

?

"Miss, Lu Mingze came to me early in the morning to ask for money and said a lot of nonsense. It was just a show of weakness. I won't repeat it one by one to avoid polluting your ears."

?

Fang Cheng's tone revealed a hint of ease.

?

It’s not that Fang Cheng thinks the Xie family has too much money and hopes that Lu Mingze will ask for more.

?

But if Lu Mingze didn't come to ask him for money, who knows what would happen. Instead of dealing with a villain, it's better to use the money to avoid disaster.

?

Only the servants of a wealthy family like the Xie family would dare to have such an idea.

?

Xie Liuzheng was secretly relieved when he heard this, but he still ordered Fang Cheng, "We must not let our guard down against Lu Mingze and Qin Guangjin. As long as these two are still alive, they will never give up the idea of ​​harming our Xie family."

?

Fang Cheng hesitated for a moment and said, "Miss, there is something I am not sure whether I should report to you."

?

"I've said before, as long as it involves these two people, no matter how small the matter is, it's a big deal." Xie Liuzheng asked Qiuyue to bring a small chair to Fang Cheng and poured him a cup of tea. "Tell me slowly, no matter whether it's good or bad, you don't have to worry about me not being able to hear it."

?

Fang Cheng was flattered. He leaned forward carefully and sat down on the chair. He took the tea but didn't dare to drink it or not. He took a sip and held it in his hand.

?

"This is what happened. I arranged eight people to form three shifts to monitor Qin Guangjin and Qin Shou. The two people on the midnight shift last night told me this morning that they seemed to have fallen asleep at night, but I can't be sure."

?

"I specifically asked a few other people, and two of them also said that this seemed to have happened before."

?

Xie Liuzheng's brows furrowed tightly.

?

There was an incident before where the surveillance person was lazy and caused Qin Guangjin to disappear for almost a night.

?

Afterwards, Xie Liuzheng specifically asked Fang Cheng to increase the number of surveillance personnel to ensure that Qin Guangjin and his son were always within the surveillance's sight.

?

Even if the servants who were watching them wanted to be lazy, they didn't dare to sleep together. At most, they would take turns taking a nap.

?

It's abnormal that we fell asleep at the same time but we're not sure whether we slept or not.

?

"Bring those people here, and I'll ask them myself."

?

Fang Cheng brought four people to Xie Liuzheng, among them was the waiter she had spotted at the inn, whose name was Liu San.

?

Xie Liuzheng first asked Liu San, "Fang Cheng said you weren't sure whether you slept or not. Explain to me, do you know whether you slept or not?"

?

Beads of sweat rolled down Liu San's forehead, and he didn't even dare to raise his hand to wipe them off. "I dare not lie to you, young lady. I'm really not sure."

?

He was indeed not lying. He really felt like he was asleep, but it also seemed like he was not asleep. He just had his eyes half closed.

?

The other three people said the same thing as Liu San. Xie Liuzheng asked Qiuyue to reward them each with a piece of silver, said a few words of encouragement and sent them back.

?

Fang Cheng, the leader, could not escape responsibility for the situation that happened to his subordinates. He stood in front of Xie Liuzheng with a nervous look on his face, not daring to raise his head.

?

"Please sit down. This is not your fault."

?

Xie Liuzheng really didn't blame Fang Cheng. After all, this situation was unheard of, so how could he think of preventing it?

?

No, to be precise, even if she knew about this situation, she would not be able to figure out a way to prevent it.

?

"You should ask Mr. Pei if he has heard of this situation."

?

The only solution Xie Liuzheng could think of was to ask Mr. Pei for advice. After all, Mr. Pei was knowledgeable and experienced. Even if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he might have heard about it.

?

Fang Cheng went out for a while and came back with a horrified face. "Miss, Mr. Pei said that those guys were not lying and were most likely poisoned by Huangliang Yimeng."
