The tea was made of Biluochun tea today. Wei Xun never liked Biluochun tea. It was obvious that this pot of tea was made for them to poison them. Wei Xun shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be my mother who did it." Madam Wu asked in confusion, "Why?" Wei Xun squatted down, looked at the poison on the ground and said slowly, "My mother was deeply persecuted by the women in the palace. She hated this kind of intrigue the most. Before I came, she advised the ministers not to choose a concubine for me in the future. It would be enough for me to have you as a queen in this life." Madam Wu stood there, feeling deeply. Wei Xun pondered for a moment, then stood up and said, "But I guessed someone."

Mrs. Wu asked hurriedly, "Who is that person?"

Wei Xun looked out the window and whispered, "My aunt."

"Aunt?" Mrs. Wu was puzzled.

Wei Xun continued, "During the time when my mother was imprisoned, my aunt brought her two daughters to Xuanyue Country and recently returned to Beidi. She wanted to marry her eldest daughter to me, but my mother did not agree. I guess she must have bribed these two little maids and wanted you and Qing'er to poison them and then marry her daughter to me."

Mrs. Wu suddenly realized that she was a princess before, and now she suddenly had an aunt.

She gradually understood that Zhou Ruiyuan's identity was different from that of ordinary people, but he had been carefully hiding it. It turned out that in addition to protecting himself, he also protected Du Wanchun and the children.

She also understood why Wei Xun had accompanied her in the Zhou family before.

Madam Wu changed her weak look and said slowly, "My husband, if that's the case, you should let me take care of these two girls."

Wei Xun asked in confusion, "What do you mean, madam?"

Madam Wu looked out the window, "I want to show them that although my mother and I have been living in this small village, we are not easy to mess with."

Wei Xun took her hand, hugged her and said slowly, "Forget it, let me do it."

Madam Wu shook her head, "Since I chose to go back to Beidi with you, I can't stay under your protection. I have to be able to protect Qing'er."

Wei Xun thought deeply and nodded, "Okay, I will do whatever you want."

Madam Wu listened to his promise and began to plan for tomorrow.

In the yard not far from them, Du Wanchun bent down to feed a little wild cat.

The little wild cat was very happy to eat, and rubbed Du Wanchun's hand with its head from time to time.

Du Wanchun touched its head and said with a smile: "Good boy, I will reward you with a big fish head tomorrow."

The little wild cat meowed twice happily.

Du Wanchun took back his hand, stood up slowly, looked at Wu Niangzi's room, and returned to his own room.

The next day.

The two maids waited in their room all night. Seeing that there was no news that Wu Niangzi had been poisoned, they immediately packed up and prepared to leave. However, they were stopped by Wu Niang before they left the room.

Mrs. Wu held the teapot they brought yesterday and said with a smile: "You two girls have worked hard on the way. This is the Tieguanyin I just brewed."

As she said, she put the teacup on the table, "Please try it."

The two maids recognized that this was the pot they brewed yesterday, and it was poisonous.

After the two of them looked at each other, the older maid knelt down and said, "Thank you for the tea, Queen. We can't afford it."

Mrs. Wu poured a cup for each of them, "You don't need to call me, Queen. I'm just a village woman here."

She said, pushing the cup towards them, "If you keep refusing like this, I think you look down on the tea I bring."

The two little maids looked at the tea in the cups in front of them, their faces pale, and their hands trembling slightly.

Mrs. Wu smiled and said, "Why? You two don't like it?"

The little maid hurriedly said, "No, no, how can we let the queen pour tea for us?"

Mrs. Wu stood up and said, "It seems that she still looks down on me. I will go and tell the king about this matter. It's better not to go back with him."

The little maids looked obviously flustered, and they stopped her together and said, "No, that's not what we mean."
