After returning to Yongyihou's mansion, the senator's wife was worried all day long.
As soon as he saw her back, he immediately held her hand and checked to see if she was okay, "Zhuzhu, did the Pei family bully you?"
Yan Mingzhu smiled and shook her head, "Grandma, don't worry, my granddaughter has not suffered a loss, and the Pei family has agreed to return the entire dowry to me in three days."
The elder's wife was curious as to why the Pei family would let go, so Yan Mingzhu pulled her to sit down and told her everything that happened today.
Although Yan Mingzhu said it calmly, the elder's wife was frightened when she heard it.
She stroked Yan Mingzhu's cheek lovingly and said repeatedly: "This is too dangerous. Don't do such dangerous things again in the future!"
Yan Mingzhu responded obediently, "Grandma, please rest early. I'll go see my cousin."
When walking to Mu Xiyan's yard, Butler Li followed up and said to Yan Mingzhu: "Cousin, the old lady is not very active now, and there are some things that I don't dare to disturb her. However, there is one thing that I feel a little strange recently.
strangeness."
Yan Mingzhu indicated with her eyes that he should go ahead, and Butler Li followed: "The food in the mansion is limited, so the old slaves are allotted according to the number of people. However, in the past few days, there has been less food for no reason. After searching the entire kitchen, there is no trace.
, the old slave wonders if there is a thief in the house?"
"I understand. You need someone to keep an eye on the person in the kitchen to see who is stealing. If you catch the person, bring him directly to me. There is no need to disturb grandma."
The senator's wife is getting older, and she suffered a lot of stimulation from the white-haired person sending the black-haired person to her. It is really not easy for her to hold on without falling.
Now this cousin is here. She is calm and inexplicably convincing, so Butler Li will discuss it with her.
As soon as he arrived at the door of Mu Xiyan's house, he heard voices coming from inside.
Yan Mingzhu knocked on the door first, "Sister-in-law, it's me."
"Zhuzhu is here, come in quickly."
When she pushed the door open and walked in, a little girl stood up immediately and saluted Yan Mingzhu, "Hello, cousin."
The girl in front of her has a small face as big as a palm, with delicate features like a hibiscus. She is the youngest daughter of Mrs. Yuan Er. Now the only trace of blood left in the Yuan family, Yuan Yixiao, is just fifteen years old this year.
Yan Mingzhu smiled and said hello to her, then sat down by the bed and took Mu Xiyan's pulse, "How do you feel about your spirit today?"
"It's good, Zhuzhu. I had a lot of mood swings before. Will it affect the child in my belly?"
While Mu Xiyan was talking, she stroked her belly with extremely gentle eyes.
Yan Mingzhu said with relief: "Sister-in-law, please relax. The baby is fine. Leave the care to me. You just need to worry about raising the baby."
Mu Xiyan smiled, but the corners of her eyes turned red, "Zhuzhu, to tell you the truth, when your husband and his coffins returned home, I had already thought about going with him.
I met him when we were young, and when I married him, I had already thought about it. If something happened to him on the battlefield in the future, I would never live alone. But now that I have this child, I will give birth to it no matter what.
He is the only tie left to me in this world."
Yuan Bohuan and Mu Xiyan had a deep relationship. They were childhood sweethearts, and they had always been close to each other after marriage. Yuan Bohuan's death in battle was a huge blow to Mu Xiyan.
Fortunately, having this child gave Mu Xiyan renewed hope of living.
Yan Mingzhu patted the back of her hand comfortingly, "Sister-in-law, everything will be fine. My cousin is alive in heaven, and he definitely hopes to see you and your child safe and happy."
Based on Mu Xiyan's physical condition, Yan Mingzhu slightly adjusted the prescription, put it away after writing it, and planned to buy medicine when she went out tomorrow.
When she came out of Mu Xiyan's house, Yuan Yixiao chased her out, "Cousin, is there anything... that I can help with? Such a big thing happened at home, but I can't help with anything.
,I...am I useless?"
Yan Mingzhu smiled gently and touched her head, "Now I have to give Xiaoxiao a very important task. Can Xiaoxiao complete it?"
Yuan Yixiao immediately straightened her back and replied loudly: "I can do it. What is the mission?"
"Grandma, they are getting older, and the white-haired people are sending black-haired people away. Now they are holding on, so Xiaoxiao, your most important task is to spend more time with them, make them happy, and you can
Can you do it?”
Yuan Yixiao nodded vigorously, "Promise to complete the task!"
After a busy day, Yan Mingzhu went back to her room to rest. Liu Xiang was about to put the money away when he was suddenly stopped by Yan Mingzhu: "Liu Xiang, wait, there is something you need to do."
Yan Mingzhu gave an order in Liu Xiang's ear. Although Liu Xiang was puzzled, he believed in his girl's words and went to do it immediately.
While sitting in front of the bronze mirror to remove her makeup, Yan Mingzhu had time to take a good look at her face at the moment.
The appearance of this face is more like that of a Jiangnan woman, which is completely opposite to her appearance in her previous life.
However, her facial lines are beautiful, and if you ignore the birthmark on the right side of her face, she is an out-and-out beauty.
Yan Mingzhu looked at it for a while and suddenly felt that something was not right about the birthmark on her face.
This mark does not look like a birthmark, but rather like...
Yan Mingzhu closed her eyes and circulated the true energy in her body, and then checked her own pulse.
Sure enough, this body was poisoned, and judging from the pulse, it was toxins brought from the mother's womb.
Then, Yan Mingzhu remembered that when the original owner was just born, his biological mother Yuanshi died of a hemorrhage. The original owner was rejected by Pingchang Bo because he was born with an ugly birthmark on his face.
From this point of view, the original owner was poisoned when she was still in Yuan's belly, which led to the death of her own mother. She herself was troubled by this birthmark for sixteen years.
Although the poison in the body was brought from the mother's womb, detoxification is not difficult for Yan Mingzhu.
In her previous life, she studied under the tutelage of Old Man Tianji and Old Man Tianxuan from the Immortal Valley. Old Man Tianji was good at medicine and Old Man Tianxuan was good at poisoning. She studied with them since she was a child and developed her unique skills in medicine and poisoning.
The poison in her body now only needs to be gradually forced out with silver needles, and the birthmark on her face will disappear accordingly.
However, after she got her dowry back and was able to support the Yuan family, she still had to quietly go to the Immortal Valley. Only by mobilizing the power of her previous life would she have a greater chance of finding the missing Yuan Jinshen.
Early the next morning, as soon as Yan Mingzhu was dressed and ready to go out, she heard the sound of incense flowing, and hurried over with a small box in her arms, "Girl, the money is short! When I locked it in the box last night, my slave counted it three times.
, a full one hundred taels, and now there are a full ten taels less!"
