Tragic death and rebirth, the daughter of a general poisoned the government and the country

After making Lin Yazi angry and leaving, Lin Yushu returned to Bixiao Courtyard to prepare for tonight's family dinner.

After finishing the cleanup, it was still early, so Lin Yushu took out the account book to look at it.

Excluding Shuyue Pavilion which has not yet opened, Baicaotang has the highest revenue among the ten shops she currently owns.

The storefront of Baicaotang is much larger than that of ordinary small pharmacies, and Lin Yushu arranged three doctors to sit in it.

The medicinal materials and consultation fees are very cheap, just to gain a good reputation.

In secret, Lin Yushu sought help from the shopkeeper Xue of Changsheng Shop and learned from him some ways to sell poison.

Of course it wasn't for free. Lin Yushu spent three bottles of detoxification pills and two bottles of bone-eroding water!

However, these methods are very reliable. The poisons that Lin Yushu usually refines, such as the Detoxification Pills, Bone-Eroding Water, and Ecstasy Powder, are very popular.

Lin Yushu is still busy with the opening of Shuyue Pavilion and cannot leave, which has resulted in these medicines being in short supply.

Closing the account book, Lin Yushu smiled with satisfaction. The money earned from these shops plus the reward from Emperor Ming were enough for Shuyue Pavilion to open with great fanfare.

On the night of the family dinner, Lin Yushu saw Liu Mei, who had not been seen for a long time. The person who was talking to her was a middle-aged man with a slightly bloated figure.

The middle-aged man was not tall. Although he was obviously a duke, he had a rat-like face and looked very similar to Li Erma from Qingshan County. He had none of the dignity of a duke.

Then he looked at the beautiful Liu Mei sitting opposite him... Lin Yushu fell into deep thought.

Duke Liu is of noble status, so Lin Yushu, the county lord, has to go and pay her respects obediently.

It’s just that Lin Yushu was polite for a long time, but Duke Liu didn’t let her stand up. He just stared at Lin Yushu silently with an unfriendly look.

"County Lady Shuyi is really capable. She not only won the favor of Lady Pingyang, but also cured the Empress Dowager's emergency. After all, Mei'er is blind."

Without waiting for him to finish his words, Lin Yushu straightened up and looked coldly at Duke Liu in front of her and Liu Mei who was looking at her viciously behind him.

Haha, it seems that Liu Mei has said a lot of bad things about Lin Yushu in front of her parents.

She must have blamed Lin Yushu for everything that happened at the Spring Banquet, which caused Duke Liu to be so hostile towards Lin Yushu that he even used his status as a duke to intimidate a young lady like her.

Unfortunately, Duke Liu didn't know that she had been a queen. In her eyes, Duke Liu was just a minister who would fall into disgrace sooner or later.

Lin Yushu straightened her back, her eyes narrowed slightly and her gaze was as sharp as a knife, her whole body was full of vigor, and although she was looking at Duke Liu at eye level, Duke Liu felt as if he was being looked down upon.

"Duke Liu, you are too kind. No matter how capable I am, I have never been favored by the Crown Prince. Cousin Liu is lucky and will soon become the Crown Princess. If the Crown Prince ever reigns supreme, Duke Liu's Mansion will surely rise with him..."

It was clearly a compliment, but in the mouths of Lin Yushu and Duke Liu, it became dirtier than an insult.

Duke Liu obviously didn't expect that Lin Yushu was not afraid of his position as Duke.

He has no other abilities, but what he is best at is using his status as a Duke to suppress others. He can always make the powerful people in Xiangxi bow their heads, and it always works.

This is the first time I failed!

Duke Liu even flinched under the pressure of Lin Yushu's aura. He forced himself to be alert, squinting his already small rat eyes, with a dangerous light in his eyes.

"Not only is County Princess Shuyi beautiful, she is also very good at talking."

Lin Yushu glanced at Liu Mei, then looked back at Duke Liu, smiling meaningfully.

"Cousin Liu is really beautiful. She combines all the good qualities of Duke Liu and his wife. She looks very similar to you."

Duke Liu's expression suddenly fell, and his eyes cast towards Liu Mei.

His daughter doesn't look like him in any way!

He had heard such words many times in Xiangxi, and Duke Liu was not without suspicion, but Liu Mei was now going to marry the prince, and Duke Liu had already met the prince.

But the prince promised him that as long as Duke Liu could do his utmost to ensure that the prince ascended the throne, Liu Mei would definitely be the future queen!

Although the Liu Mansion has fallen into decline, it is still alive and well. To the Crown Prince who is now in a precarious situation, the Liu Mansion still has value.

Ever since the matter of inferior military supplies was discovered by Nan Rongjing, the prince has lost the power to control the Ministry of War and also lost Lord Yuan, which can be said to be a serious blow to his vitality.

Although Duke Liu was mediocre, he also realized that this was his opportunity and he must seize it.

But... Lin Yushu is Lin Yazi's niece after all, and she must know some of the secrets of the general's mansion better than he does.

Seeing that she had successfully planted the hidden danger, Lin Yushu stopped talking nonsense and turned to drink tea in the corner.

At such a family dinner, Lin Yushu's presence was even lower than Lin Fang's.

Especially now that Lin Fang and Han Xu's marriage was settled, she was being held by the old lady, and she seemed awkward and shy as the old lady kept praising her for being sensible.

Haha, I’m afraid that before today, the old lady hadn’t looked at Lin Fang straight in the eye for many years.

Letting go of Lin Fang's hand, the old lady suddenly turned to look at Lin Yushu and waved for her to sit next to her.

Lin Yushu is now the county lady, so she doesn’t have to perform formalities when meeting the old lady and the second lady. However, due to filial piety, Lin Yushu still bowed and performed a light half-salute.

Seeing Lin Yushu's actions, the gentle smile in the old lady's eyes suddenly faded a lot.

"Shu'er is now more and more promising. She has been commended by His Majesty and has been awarded the title of County Lady. If your mother knew about this, she would definitely be very pleased."

When Lin Yushu heard the old lady mention her mother, the smile on her face turned a little cold.

"You must be crowned a princess. Grandmother doesn't have anything good to give you, so take this jade pendant."

The old lady took out a jade pendant carved with a translucent green azalea from her bosom. The workmanship was exquisite and the jade was smooth. One could tell at a glance that it was a good thing.

"Isn't this the best thing that mother has kept in the bottom of her box? I wanted it before, but you refused to give it to me. It turns out that you favor Shu'er more now, and even I can't compare to you."

Lin Yazi's exaggerated praise attracted the attention of others. Lin Yushu could feel Lin Qingrou's jealous gaze behind her, sweeping coldly across her back.

"Such a good thing should be left to aunt. How can Shu'er take away aunt's love?"

The fake smile suddenly froze, and Lin Yazi felt a little embarrassed.

"Aunt has always been generous, Shu'er, you know that, and how could Aunt ruin Mother's love for her granddaughter?"

"Your aunt is right. Take this jade pendant. You are the only one in the whole mansion who is most worthy of it."

Looking at the mother and daughter in front of her singing the same tune, Lin Yushu's lips curled up.

"In that case, Shu'er will accept it. Grandmother, please don't regret it..."

The old lady's eyelids twitched, and the hand holding the jade pendant paused slightly.

Before the old lady could react, Lin Yushu had already reached out and steadily took the jade pendant, holding it in her palm and admiring it.

"Shu'er has never seen such a beautiful jade pendant. It is transparent and bright, as if it can glow. It feels warm and smooth in the hand. It is really rare."

Lin Yushu looked as if she had obtained a great treasure, which made Lin Qingrou behind her roll her eyes.

It's just a jade pendant, how good can it be?

Lin Yushu, holding the jade pendant, slowly turned around. The bright green light in her hand was reflected in Lin Qingrou's eyes, instantly turning her eyes red.

This jade pendant was indeed beautiful, and Lin Qingrou was extremely jealous.
