The daughter of a general is reborn to save the whole family of the marquis

After listening to this, the old lady was indeed worried about the situation of Xie family's flowers.

But looking at my eldest grandson's ambitious look, I find it funny. It's rare for him to have such ambition.

"Ten million taels of silver is not a small amount. Have you told your uncle about this?"

"Grandma, I have already inquired about it. The number of osmanthus and chrysanthemums planted on our farm this year is the same as in previous years. And now it is summer, and it is not long before the Queen Mother's birthday. It is too much and too complicated to replace so many osmanthus with chrysanthemums at this time. I am afraid that Third Uncle's body cannot bear it, so I did not tell him."

Xie Shaobai continued, "Besides, the Yang family has already sold all their osmanthus flowers and purchased a large amount of chrysanthemums from various places. If our Xie family does not take action, I am afraid that after autumn, our Xie family will be left behind by the Yang family."

He added, "Also, grandma, Third Uncle has always looked down upon my ability. This time, I want to do something big quietly and give Third Uncle a huge surprise so that he will look at me with new eyes. I respect and adore Third Uncle the most, and I don't want to be looked down upon by him!"

The old lady was already moved.

What the eldest grandson said makes sense.

At this time, the second brother Xie Zhun came in from outside: "Mother, I think Shaobai is right. The situation in Shengjing City has changed too much. This matter is too complicated and too stressful. It is better not to let the third brother know, for fear that his body cannot bear it."

He listened outside for a while, so he knew what they were talking about.

Xie Shaobai's face was full of surprise. Second Uncle is still the best.

Xie Zhun continued, "My son has also heard about the situation outside, and he specially sent someone to the palace to ask the noble lady if this is true. The noble lady replied that the emperor did say that in the autumn, the whole city should be covered with chrysanthemums to celebrate the empress dowager's birthday."

After hearing this, the old lady said, "Since the news is accurate, then you and Shaobai will be responsible for completing this matter. Just take the money you need from the public account and say it's my idea."

Xie Shaobai couldn't suppress the joy in his eyes.

His grandmother had already agreed, and his third uncle must have fallen asleep by now, so no one could stop him.

This time, he must do something big to make everyone look at him with new eyes. The position of the head of the Xie family should be occupied by someone as capable and healthy as him!

Let’s talk about Xie Lin.

The medicine was brought by Nanny Ji on time, and Wangshan brought it to him: "Third Master, it's time to take the medicine."

Xie Lin put down the wolf-hair brush in his hand, picked up the medicine and was about to drink it all in one gulp. The medicine tasted very bad, and for many years he had been drinking it in one gulp, pretending not to be able to smell the bad smell.

But this time, when the bowl of medicine was brought to his lips, he keenly smelled a scent he had never smelled before.

He stopped and thought about what Wangshan had just told him - the imperial palace would be filled with chrysanthemums this year to celebrate the empress dowager's birthday, and the Yang family was purchasing chrysanthemums everywhere to replace the osmanthus.

Xie Lin then thought of the request Chu Heyi had made to him in late spring: "I want the hundred-acre osmanthus garden in the west of Xie's city to be full of osmanthus flowers in the fall."

Thinking further along these lines, Xie Lin remembered what Chu Heyi had said. If he remained awake and healthy, it would be difficult for anyone to deal with the Xie family. But what if he was in a coma for ten days, half a month, or even a month?

"Third Master, what's the problem?"

Xie Lin put the medicine bowl on the table and asked, "What has the young master been doing these past two days?"

Wangshan replied, "It's strange. The young master is usually so lazy and unwilling to pay his respects to the old lady. But these past two days, he went to have breakfast with the old lady early and even accompanied her to boil medicine for you. It's as if he has changed his personality."

Xie Lin's eyes became deeper as he looked at the medicine bowl on the table.

"Go find a mouse."

Wangshan was puzzled, but he quickly went to find a mouse. Xie Lin asked Wangshan to pinch the mouse's mouth open and poured a spoonful of medicine into it. In a blink of an eye, the mouse fainted in front of them with blood at the corner of its mouth.

Wang Shan was shocked: "The medicine is poisonous!"

Xie Lin's expression did not change at all. As expected, it was just as he thought.

No matter how careful you are, you can never prevent a thief from within your own home.

"This medicine was prepared personally under the supervision of the old lady and delivered by Nanny Ji herself. Such a thing has never happened in many years. Who wants to poison the Third Master?" Wangshan's face turned pale.

I don’t know how the Third Master realized that the medicine was poisonous. If he had drunk it just now, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Xie Lin did not answer. He asked Wangshan to deal with the mouse, then washed his hands and changed into a light blue brocade robe.

Returning to the table, he picked up the medicine bowl and took a sip.

Wang Shan was shocked: "Third Master, you can't do that!"

However, it was too late. Xie Lin had already swallowed the poison. Wang Shan was dumbfounded: "Why is Third Master like this?"

"Let's go to Anshou Hall."

As soon as Xie Lin finished speaking, he walked out, and Wang Shan quickly followed.

They arrived at Anshou Hall almost after Xie Zhun. Xie Lin heard clearly what Xie Zhun, the old lady, and Xie Shaobai said.

A cold arc appeared on the corner of his mouth. This was the purpose of poisoning him.

He walked in, his steps neither hurried nor slow, his posture still elegant and unparalleled, "Mother, I do not agree to replace the Xie family's osmanthus with chrysanthemums."

When Xie Shaobai saw him walk in, he was like seeing a ghost. Shouldn't Third Uncle have taken the poison he put in there? How could he still be here?

Xie Shaobai observed his face carefully and found that apart from being slightly pale, there was nothing unusual about his face.

Xie Lin's gaze suddenly turned and met Xie Shaobai's. Xie Shaobai shuddered all over and then quickly calmed down.

"Uncle San, since you already know, I won't hide it from you. Our Xie family must replace all the osmanthus flowers with chrysanthemums, otherwise our Xie family will suffer huge losses."

He added: "Uncle San is the head of the family. It is Uncle San's responsibility to develop and expand the Xie family. If Uncle San is afraid of trouble, I will do it!"

"No!" Xie Lin refused outright, and said decisively: "The wind direction changed too quickly, there must be something fishy going on!"

Xie Shaobai said: "Second uncle has received accurate information from the noble lady. When autumn comes, the emperor will fill the whole city and the palace with chrysanthemums. The Yang family has completely replaced the osmanthus with chrysanthemums. I don't think there is any trickery! Second uncle and grandmother don't think so either!

"Besides, isn't it true that a family can quickly improve its status because it can quickly seize changes? Opportunities are fleeting! But Third Uncle is too weak to seize this fleeting opportunity? Then won't our Xie family go downhill? Please don't stop me, Third Uncle!"

As soon as Xie Shaobai finished speaking, Xie Lin spat out a mouthful of blood.

Everyone around was shocked, and Wangshan quickly supported Xie Lin and asked, "Third Master, what's wrong with you?"

The old lady and others also asked about the situation and asked the court doctor to come as soon as possible.

Xie Lin raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth. "The medicine I drank this morning was poisoned. Mother, didn't you make the medicine for me yourself? Why is this happening?"

Wang Shan reacted quickly and agreed, "The Third Master was not feeling well this morning and didn't eat anything else but took medicine. Now he is vomiting blood, it must be because someone poisoned the medicine."

Xie Shaobai's eyes were filled with panic. He wanted to defend himself, but he couldn't make a sound.

Madam Ji said, "The only people who made the medicine for Third Master this morning were the old lady, the eldest young master, and this old servant. How could it be poisonous?"

Xie Zhun asked, "Is it because Third Brother's health was too bad that he couldn't bear the strong effect of the drug and got poisoned?"

No one noticed that a hint of panic flashed across the old lady's eyes.

"I've been weaker than this before, and I've never been unable to withstand the strong effects of the drugs."

As Xie Lin was speaking, the court doctor had already arrived. He said in a deep voice, "Check!"

The old lady turned pale and blurted out: "Can't check!"
