Chapter 78 The second lady comes to visit

Precisely because it was administered early, Dongfang Yuebai should not have had any precautions when the poison was first administered. Moreover, the person who poisoned the poison was also very clever. He did not kill with one move, but used the poison that had already been buried in Dongfang Yuebai's body. Bit by bit it eroded his internal organs.

"The poison in your body is not fatal, but it can cause the weakening of your trachea. Whenever you worry about it, the blood in your body will drain away rapidly. Now you will be coughing and wheezing uncontrollably, which means your lungs have weakened. It's a precursor, but as long as you don't work hard, you can suppress the erosion of this poison."

Su Chengying's face turned pale, and the more she spoke, the more frightened she became.

The person who poisoned him clearly wanted to turn Dongfang Yuebai into a real waste.

If he did the opposite, Dongfang Yuebai's body would be damaged by toxins at an accelerated rate, which would be fatal.

This is clearly forcing him to make a choice, either waste his life as a waste, or die from exhaustion.

"You may have thought, who is the person who poisoned you?" Su Chengying asked softly.

Although it seems that all the fingers are pointed at the eldest lady Liu, this poison was intended to be put into the child's body when he was born. If you think about it carefully, the eldest lady Liu had not yet entered the house at that time.

How can it be poisoned?

Dongfang Yuebai's face was calm, making it difficult to guess what he was thinking, "In the past few years, I sent people to look for the midwives and servants who delivered the babies, but those people were either missing or had died of illness long ago."

This is clearly a silence!

"So, now everyone in the house is suspected." Su Chengying frowned.

In addition to the eldest lady Liu, there are also the wives and masters of the third room, Duke Feng'en and the old lady, and even dozens of servants in the mansion...

If we check them one by one, when will we start?
What's more, they don't even have a clue now.

Dongfang Yuebai snapped his fingers, signaling Su Chengying to come back to her senses, "Can I put on my clothes? It's cold."

Su Chengying, "..."

How long has it been and you are still thinking about the two ounces of flesh on your body?
Dongfang Yuebai asked, "How sure are you that this poison can be cured?"

Su Chengying thought for a while, "In the early stage, the poison will be removed, and in the later stage, you will drink medicine to repair it. The fastest can be one year, and the slowest can be three to five years."

"It's only a matter of three to five years, so why waste useless energy." Dongfang Yuebai stood up slowly and said, "Anyway, when I joined forces with you, I had no intention of letting anyone go."

In the end, we have to catch them all in one go, so there is no need to search for them one by one.

Su Chengying also felt that this was not unreasonable. At present, the overall situation must be put first.

The early winter in Beiliang is getting colder and colder. As the first snow falls slowly, it is also the day when Dongfang Ronglu is getting married. Unlike the previous busy schedule in the Duke's palace, Dongfang Ronglu's wedding is extremely shabby.

She was a concubine, and she had offended the fourth prince's concubine. It would have been okay if the fourth prince paid more attention to her, but it happened that on Dongfang Ronglu's wedding day, the fourth prince stayed in the palace with the concubine all day long.

At this time, there was not even anyone who came to meet him. The Duke's Mansion had to find someone to carry the sedan and send Dongfang Ronglu there.

On the day of Dongfang Ronglu's wedding, the fifth prince came to visit her. Although the fifth prince did not claim to be a guest at the Duke's residence, this move still inevitably aroused speculation.

The fourth prince, in particular, felt like someone was plotting against him, but even if he guessed something, it was too late. The second prince was already suspicious and had already begun to distance himself from him when he learned the news.

For a time, the fourth prince and the second prince fell apart. The fourth prince could not express his sorrow. Dongfang Ronglu naturally became the fourth prince's vent.After hearing that Dongfang Ronglu had been away for a few days, he sent someone to deliver a letter to the mansion.

After hearing this, Su Chengying asked, "Is there any news over there, Madam?"

Jin Han shook his head, "I heard that the second lady went there this morning, but I didn't see any instructions from the old lady."

Su Chengying asked again, "Where are the ladies from other courtyards?"

Jin Han shook his head, "Back then, Miss Lu was taken seriously by the Fourth Prince. In the name of getting married, she plundered all the jewelry belonging to the sisters in each house. I heard that in the third room alone, Miss Lu was about to leave. I bought three or four sets of jewelry.”

"No matter how scheming Dongfang Ronglu is, she loses because she is too young. She offends everyone in the house after getting a little glory. Fortunately, such a person is just a pawn in our hands. If not with her temperament, If we really gain a foothold in the Fourth Prince’s Mansion, we don’t know how to become our enemy.”

Now that the ladies of each house were obstructing her openly, and the eldest lady was obstructing her secretly, even if she didn't take action, there would definitely be no one in the mansion willing to help Dongfang Ronglu.

As the saying goes, evil people will be rewarded.

"Miss, the second lady is here." Musk lifted the chain and entered the door.

Su Chengying naturally knew what the second lady, Mrs. Sun, was doing at this time, and she had no intention of messing around. But just when she was about to refuse, she looked up and saw Dongfang Yuebai who had just woken up in the back room. After thinking about it, she changed her words and said, "Please come in."

The second lady, Mrs. Sun, walked in despite the cold air. She obviously saw Dongfang Yuebai in the back room and ignored her. She just came to Su Chengying and said with a smile, "Your Highness the Princess."

Su Chengying motioned to the second lady, Mrs. Sun, to sit down and talk, "It's so cold and freezing, why did the second lady think of coming here?"

When the second lady, Mrs. Sun, heard this, her eyes turned red. She took out the letter from her sleeve and said, "It's not that Sister Lu has been wronged outside. As a mother, I can't always ignore it."

Su Chengying took the letter and glanced at it briefly. It was filled with Dongfang Ronglu's complaints and resentments, as if everyone in the fourth prince's house owed her something.

"Her Royal Highness the Princess also knows that Sister Lu has never suffered much since she was a child. Now she is being ignored in the fourth prince's palace. How can she bear it? I thought that Her Royal Highness the Princess has also been in the palace. I heard that Lu Sister, please tell me that Her Royal Highness the Princess has spoken to the Fourth Prince's Concubine, so why don't Her Highness the Princess go to the Fourth Prince's residence next day to have a look, I have already prepared the carriage."

The second wife, Mrs. Sun, looked eager, but her words were perfect, leaving no room for Su Chengying to refuse. It was just natural for Su Chengying to support Dongfang Ronglu.

Are you really used to taking advantage of the eldest lady to dominate?
Su Chengying smiled lightly, "The second lady's maternal love is so deep, it's really touching."

When the second lady, Mrs. Sun, heard this, she took it for granted, "Like the princess, I hope Sister Lu will be well."

This is just talking about status.

When Su Chengying married into the Duke's mansion, she was supposed to maintain the harmony of the mansion, so the second wife, Mrs. Sun, was not afraid that Su Chengying would refuse unless she didn't care about her reputation.

"Early tomorrow morning, I will have the carriage waiting at the door of the mansion..." The second lady, Mrs. Sun, was still imagining that as long as Su Chengying supported Dongfang Ronglu as a princess, the fourth prince and concubine would no longer be able to cheer. As a result, But was directly interrupted by Su Chengying.

Su Chengying said, "As a canonized princess from a foreign country, it would be inappropriate for me to go to the fourth prince's mansion in such a arrogant manner."

The second lady, Mrs. Sun, was stunned, "What do you mean, Your Highness Princess?"

Su Chengying smiled and said, "Literally."
