Mu Ruolan lowered her head and did not dare to say anything. Whenever the Second Madam made the Eldest Madam unhappy, she would always be found to listen to the Eldest Madam's complaints.
"I won't say much more. Today the prince also asked about how to choose someone between Jincheng and Jinxiu to succeed the prince. You are not an outsider. You know what I am thinking, so you know what to do, right?" Tong Wei
He spoke slowly, looking at Mu Ruolan who did not raise his head.
Mu Ruolan was very nervous and hesitated for a long time before murmuring: "Jin Mo's qualifications are shallow, so I'm afraid he will let down the eldest lady's good intentions. He is a concubine and the youngest son. If there is a real fight, it will be inevitable."
It will make the eldest lady take some risks. In fact, Lord Tong’s child——"
"Mu Ruolan, don't give me a toast and be punished by drinking it!" Tong Wei's voice became stern, and his face darkened, "I only discussed it with you because of your always being respectful and obedient.
He took himself too seriously and forced me to do some emotionally hurtful things."
Mu Ruolan's body trembled and she fell silent, not daring to say anything more.
"So, you still refuse to agree." Tong Wei frowned and said angrily, "A Yuan, see off the guest for me!"
As he said that, he picked up the book in his hand again, pretending that Mu Ruolan was no longer in front of him.
Aunt Yuan walked in almost as soon as she finished speaking. Without saying much, she tugged on Mu Ruolan's sleeve and took her out. When she walked out the door, the cold wind and rain fell on her face,
Mu Ruolan couldn't help but shiver, not daring to look back, and hurriedly followed Aunt Yuan along the way she came.
Suddenly, Aunt Yuan in front stopped and turned around to block the front.
Mu Ruolan was not careful and bumped into Aunt Yuan. Just when she was about to apologize, Aunt Yuan suddenly raised her hand and threw something into her just-opened mouth, then lifted her chin and forced her to swallow it.
thing.
"Aunt Yuan, cough, suck, what are you going to do?" Mu Ruolan was startled.
With an expression on her face, Aunt Yuan turned around and continued to walk forward. Then a voice came quietly in the wind and rain, "I just toasted you and refused to eat. This is a penalty drink. Third Madam, you really let down the good intentions of the eldest lady."
, Why bother if you don’t have to force yourself to end up alone?”
Mu Ruolan only felt a tightness in her chest, like a hundred ants walking through her, and it was extremely uncomfortable.
Aunt Yuan didn't hear the sound of Mu Ruolan following her. She stopped and looked back. She saw Mu Ruolan with a painful expression on her face, clutching the clothes on her chest. She seemed to be out of breath. She frowned and looked cold.
He said: "Third Madam, don't be nervous. My wife is not as ruthless as you think. This medicine will be effective after three days, and you won't feel any pain when you leave."
However, Mu Ruolan clearly felt uncomfortable, and it was not something wrong as she imagined. She was standing, shaking a little, and her face became paler.
Aunt Yuan frowned and saw that Mu Ruolan didn't seem to be pretending. She hesitated and walked over. She saw blood coming from the corner of her mouth. Under the light of the lantern hanging in the corridor, the color was a bit black and purple.
This was not a symptom of the medicine she had given, but Mu Ruolan was indeed poisoned.
"What's wrong with you?!" Aunt Yuan's face changed and she was a little nervous. She stepped forward to help her and helped her sit down on a stone bench not far away. The stone bench was wet and cold. She didn't care at this time and checked her pulse.
, the pulse was weak, "You were indeed poisoned, but it was not the medicine I administered. Who have you had contact with before? For example, the people around the second lady?"
Mu Ruolan shook his head tiredly and said nothing.
