If I were born again, I would marry a strong but short-lived husband.

The person who was brought in was a little maid about eleven or twelve years old.

She had just entered Danbo Courtyard two or three months ago. Because she was young and had a dull and honest personality, she was bullied in the garden. Mu Jin couldn't stand it and brought the person back.

Seeing that the little maid was still young, Shen Suian kept her in the yard as a sweeping maid.

She is rarely seen in sight on weekdays.

I didn't expect that it was the person arranged by Mrs. Lu.

The little maid's name was Lu Ya. After being discovered, she remained silent and looked listless.

Mu Jin knelt in front of Shen Sui'an, her face full of guilt, "It was my poor kindness that led the wolf into the house. Please punish me, Madam."

"Get up. Don't misjudge people next time." Shen Sui'an said to Mu Jin.

She was actually also responsible, as she had underestimated Mrs. Lu's viciousness.

Shen Sui'an looked at Lu Ya. The little maid's eyes were rolling around, and she no longer had the dull look she had before.

"Madam, although I was arranged to live in Danbo Courtyard by the eldest wife, I have never drugged you. I can swear to heaven." Lu Ya looked humble.

"You just didn't have the chance to drug her." Shen Suian exposed her words.

Lu Ya crawled on the ground, "Madam, I don't want to help the Madam do such evil things. I just want to surrender to you."

Mu Jin looked at Lu Ya with such hatred that she almost gritted her teeth.

This little girl is really pretending to be honest. Look at her sharp tongue. She is completely different from the dull and cowardly person who allowed others to bully her before.

They are completely different people.

"You want to surrender to me?" Shen Sui'an smiled, "Sure, but you have to do something for me."

Lu Ya's eyes lit up when she heard this, "Madam, please give me your orders. No matter if it means going through fire and water, I will definitely do it for you."

"Where did you work before?" Shen Sui'an asked.

"I used to be a sweeper in the garden. My biggest wish in life is to be a maid serving the master." Lu Ya said with a clever look.

Shen Sui'an took a look at her and understood why the eldest wife arranged such a little maid to live in her courtyard.

Lu Ya has delicate features, and when she doesn't speak, it's easy for people to feel sympathy for her.

Moreover, this maid looks smart, no wonder she was able to coax Mu Jin back to Danbo Courtyard.

"I will send you to the family temple and you go to serve the first wife." Shen Sui'an said.

"..." Lu Ya's smiling face suddenly changed. She cried out in panic, "Madam, you want me to die."

She did not complete the task assigned to her by the First Madam, and was sent by Shen Suian to serve the First Madam. The First Madam would definitely think that she was a traitor.

Will she be able to come back alive by then?

That’s definitely not possible.

The eldest wife could even drug her own daughter-in-law, let alone a maid like her.

Shen Sui'an said, "Since I've sent you to the ancestral temple, I will definitely not let you die, so don't worry."

Lu Ya shook her head like a rattle, she didn't dare to go.

"Then there is no other choice but to hand you over to Jingzhao Prefecture. As a servant, you drugged your master. Do you know what crime you committed?" Shen Sui'an asked.

"Madam, I really know I was wrong." Lu Ya couldn't even cry. She felt that no matter what choice she made, it would be a dead end.

Shen Sui'an's eyes were cold, "The first wife asked you to give me drugs, so I have to give the drugs to you. Where is the drug?"

Lu Ya's face turned pale. She bit her lip and took out two packets of medicine powder from the lining of her belt.

"The eldest lady said that this packet will be included in your meals, and the other packet is for the eldest young master." Lu Ya did not dare to hide it. Even if she was not afraid of Shen Suian, she was afraid of the eldest young master.

That is the commander who kills without blinking an eye.

Shen Sui'an asked Ban Jian to take it to the court doctor and ask him to check what these two medicines are.

The court doctor was Lu Yuan's man, so she was not afraid that he would talk nonsense.

It only took a stick of incense for Banjian to come back.

"Madam, this is a contraceptive drug. Only a little bit is enough to prevent a woman from getting pregnant within a month. The other kind is a slightly toxic powder that can make people listless and weak." Ban Jian said.

Lu Ya didn't dare to look up at Shen Sui'an. She cried and explained, "Madam, the eldest lady wants me to do something, and I dare not disobey her. If I don't listen to her, I will lose my life."

"You've been in Danboyuan for a few months, and you haven't found an opportunity to drug me?" Shen Sui'an asked.

Lu Ya: "I cannot get close to the kitchen..."

Not to mention getting close to Shen Suian's room.

Shen Sui'an's meals were all prepared personally by her maid. From the time they came out of the kitchen to when they were served to her, no one else had the chance to interfere.

The small kitchen is as sealed as an iron barrel.

She originally thought that as long as she could hold on for another year or two, she would definitely be able to become a second-class maid, and then she would be able to do what the first lady asked.

It was a good idea, but he was caught in the blink of an eye.

"Go and prepare, and send her to the ancestral temple tomorrow." Shen Sui'an said calmly.

"Madam, I won't dare to do that again. Please forgive me." Lu Ya cried.

Shen Sui'an took out the packet of poisonous powder and said, "Give this to the first wife and I will ensure that you return safely."

Lu Ya's hands trembled. How could it be possible? The eldest wife saw her go to the family temple and must have known that she had exposed her identity. It was lucky that she didn't kill her.

How could he possibly eat the food she sent him?

"You are so smart, you must know what to do." Shen Suian said with a smile.

The eldest wife must be still restless in the ancestral temple, and Shen Sui'an is really worried about her in order to make her reflect on herself.

She ordered someone to take Lu Ya away.

Lu Yuan also quickly found out who had drugged her.

He is Nanny Zhou’s son.

This was unexpected for Shen Sui'an.

Lu Yuan grew up under the care of Nanny Zhou, and it turned out that Nanny Zhou's son was bribed by the first wife.

Eight years ago, Lu Yuan was only twelve or thirteen years old, at the time when he was growing up.

Nanny Zhou's son was just a servant in the mansion at the time. He added a sterilizing drug to Lu Yuan's cold medicine.

Lu Yuan didn't notice it. He had always been in good health and seldom caught a cold. It was just that he accidentally got sick, and that gave others the opportunity to take advantage of him.

"After all, he is Nanny Zhou's only son. What does your husband plan to do?" Shen Suian asked softly.

She knew that in Lu Yuan's mind, Nanny Zhou was different.

"I haven't told Madam Zhou about this. Find a reason in two days to let Zhou Bin leave Shangjing City." Lu Yuan said coldly.

He was grateful to Nanny Zhou, not to her son.

Zhou Bin must die.

He dared to harm me eight years ago. Who knows what he will do in the future.

Lu Yuan has never been a kind-hearted person.

"What are you going to do about the ancestral temple?" Lu Yuan asked.

Shen Sui'an's eyes flickered, "My husband, please give me a few people who are skilled and trustworthy."

Lu Yuan nodded, "Okay."
