Chapter 24 Caught on the spot
"What are you doing?!"

There was a hint of coldness in Ye Shu's voice.

Although Nanny Liu was stunned for a moment, she guessed what was going on based on her years of experience and quickly walked up to Liu Xin and Xiang'er.

Liu Xin looked at Aunt Liu coming and his face turned pale. He couldn't hide it anymore. This was poisonous and he couldn't eat it!
Liu Xin could only watch as Nanny Liu came forward and pulled out the thing from his arms.

After opening it, Madam Liu found it was a small box filled with water of unknown origin.

When Liu saw this, she walked over and wanted to see what kind of water was in the box.

"Sister-in-law, don't touch that water, be careful it's poisonous!"

Ye Shu remembered what Gu Jiangmeng said. If she touched the juice of daffodils, she would get ringworm and it would be itchy.

Xiang'er then stepped forward and tried it with a silver needle, and it really changed color.

Seeing that the truth was revealed, Liu Xin's legs went weak and he knelt down.

Xiang'er took the silver needle, walked up to Liuxin, and said sternly, "It was you who wanted to harm the Madam. Why did the Madam have any grudges against you? How could you be so cruel!!"

"I don't have it, I don't have it, I don't know what this is!" Liu Xin's first thought was to pretend to be innocent.

"Don't know?" Xiang'er smiled coldly, "You really think I'm blind. You put this thing in the cake made by Liu Ma, and this cake is for the Madam!"

"You secretly poisoned and intended to harm the Madam. You really deserve to die!"

Madam Liu guessed what was going on. It turned out that Liu Xin was the one who poisoned Liu Shi and wanted to use Madam Ye to harm Liu Shi!
After all, Madam Liu was an old lady in the mansion and had seen many dirty things, but it was the first time that she became a knife in someone else's hands.

Thinking of this, Madam Liu stepped forward and slapped Liu Xin a few times, "I thought you were a smart and good girl, but you actually did something like poisoning your master. Don't even mention the old lady and the first lady, I will be the first one who will not forgive you!"

Liu Xin knew that the truth had been exposed and no one could help him, so he could only betray Zhang.

"I don't know what this is. It was Aunt Zhang who told me to put this in the cakes!"

Hearing this, Liu was stunned. She didn't expect that the person who harmed her was her husband's concubine Zhang.

I think I have always been very good to Zhang, and I gave her a share of what I had. Even her son Ye Yulin, a bastard, was treated the same as my own child Ye Qian'an.

I have never wronged her in any way, yet she is harming me like this!
"Xiang'er."

Seeing that Liu's face looked a little ugly, Ye Shu called Xiang'er to support her.

"Since you say so, I want to see what Aunt Zhang has to say!"

Naturally, Madam Liu didn't believe Liu Xin's statement. What did this have to do with Aunt Zhang? Who knew if Liu Xin was just biting people out of desperation.

"Xiang'er, go to Huanyue Pavilion and invite Aunt Zhang over. Tell her that I have a batch of tea and want her to taste it." Liu came to her senses and instructed Xiang'er.

"Madame Liu, please don't tell mother about this." Ye Shu reminded Madame Liu.

"Don't worry, Miss Second, you and Madam will decide on this matter. I will definitely catch this man with ulterior motives!"

In Huanyue Pavilion, a beautiful woman was lying on the couch, allowing the maid beside her to massage her back.

"The intensity is too high. Is it because you ate too much?"

The maid was so frightened that she immediately eased the pressure on her hands and asked, "Auntie, is this okay?"

Before Zhang could speak again, a maid came in. "Auntie, it's Xiang'er who is beside the eldest lady."

"What is she doing here?" Zhang asked in a disdainful tone, but then changed her tone to a gentle one, "Let her in."

After saying this, Zhang gave a look and asked the maid who was massaging her back to stand aside.

"Aunt." Xiang'er suppressed her inner anger and bowed to Zhang as usual.

"Xiang'er is here, but does the Madam have anything to tell you?" Zhang asked with a smile.

If it were normal, Xiang'er would think it was okay, but now she felt that Zhang's smile was fake and hypocritical.

"The eldest lady said that she has a new batch of pre-rain Longjing tea and wants you to taste it."

"Really?" Zhang looked very happy. "Tell the eldest lady that my sister will go after she changes her clothes."

After Xiang'er left, the smile on Zhang's face froze, but she felt extremely disgusted in her heart. This Zhang wanted to give her second-hand things again.

Seeing the maid Xia'er still standing by, Zhang was a little angry. "What are you standing there for? Go and change your clothes. If you delay and neglect the Madam, I will hold you accountable!"

"Yes, aunt!" Xia'er responded quickly and helped Zhang change her clothes.

As soon as Zhang came into Zizhu Pavilion, she saw Ye Shu holding the child and talking to Liu.

"Madam!" If it were normal, Zhang would definitely call Zhang sister.

"Is this General Gu's wife, the second young lady of our Ye Mansion?"

Everyone in the mansion knew that Ye Shu had returned. Although Zhang had never seen Ye Shu, she guessed her identity when she saw her holding a child.

Ye Shu hugged Gu Jiangmeng and turned around to see Zhang. The woman in front of her had a beautiful face and was obviously very beautiful.

"Yeah." Ye Shu responded after hearing Zhang's words.

"The Second Miss is truly a beauty, with a graceful figure. I guess the General treats his wife very well, which is why the Second Miss looks the same age as me."

[Bad woman, you still want to get close to my mother, forget it! Mother, don’t be fooled by her sweet words!]

Zhang praised her right from the start. Although Ye Shu was unhappy, she smiled and said, "Mrs. Zhang, you are too kind to praise me."

"Is this the young lady from the general's mansion?" Zhang said as she walked up to Gu Jiangmeng.

"She really inherited the beauty of the second young lady. She is as pretty as a fairy!" Zhang smiled and stretched out her hand, wanting to touch Gu Jiangmeng.

[Ahhhh! Stay away from me, I don’t want this bad woman to touch me!]

Just when Zhang's hand was about to touch Gu Jiangmeng's face, Gu Jiangmeng turned his head again, avoiding the contact.

Zhang had no choice but to continue smiling and pretending that she didn't care.

"This is the pre-rain Longjing tea that has just been delivered. If you don't drink it now, it will get cold." Liu greeted with a smile and asked Xiang'er to take a cup and handed it to Zhang.

Zhang took it, feeling somewhat reluctant. She thought that the two people in front of her were sitting down. Could it be that she should stand and drink?
Just like that, Zhang took the tea but didn't drink it immediately.

Liu also guessed why Zhang didn't drink. After all, she never let Zhang stand there in the past. But now is different. The woman in front of her is the one who is likely to harm her!
Liu pretended to be ignorant and urged her kindly, "Sister, why don't you drink it? If you don't drink it now, it will get cold, and you won't be able to taste anything when the tea is cold."
