Chapter 180 Cleaning up the backyard to help escape
"I can make a fake death drug and give each of you one. It's up to you whether to use it or not. If you need help, I can also ask Qiu Shuang and Qiu Yue to help."
Lu Qingxue's eyes lit up. If she and Zhuang Yan'er wanted to be together, she could only get rid of her current identity.
Faking her own death and escaping seemed like a good option, but her identity was a bit special, and she didn't know if Li Rui would agree.
Let's go back and discuss it with Li Rui. Let's get the fake death drug first.
"Xi'er, your idea is good. How about this? You prepare the fake death medicine for us first, and I'll send someone to get it in a few days. I still need to go back and discuss this with Li Rui, and we must make all the preparations."
Zhuang Yan'er seemed to have figured it out, and nodded with a firm look in her eyes. Although she was the legitimate daughter of Master Zhuang, her mother died early.
Now her stepmother has given birth to a younger brother and sister, and she can no longer tolerate her. It would be better to fake her death and leave, so that she can be with Lu Qingxue without any scruples in the future.
Seeing how determined the two were, An Muxi also agreed.
"Okay, I'll prepare the fake death drug in the next few days, and you guys should think about how to get out of this situation."
After thinking for a while, she said, "It just so happens that I have a farm in the suburbs. There are few people there. If you get away, you can go there to take shelter."
Lu Qingxue looked at An Muxi gratefully: "Xi'er, I don't need to thank you for your kindness. We will go back first. We will notify you if we need anything."
Lu Qingxue returned to Prince Rui's Mansion and went straight to find Li Rui.
She repeated what An Muxi said.
Li Rui didn't say anything for a long time, and seemed to be considering the feasibility of the matter.
In fact, Li Rui also planned to do so this time, and Doctor Gao also gave him a drug that could cause him to fake his death.
He just hasn't gotten around to solving this problem yet. If he wants to marry An Muxi back in the future, he will definitely give her the position of principal wife.
He and Lu Qingxue were originally a fake couple, and Lu Qingxue had already said that she wanted to leave.
Now it seems that this plan can be implemented.
"Okay, since you've made up your mind, then just do it according to what Xi'er said. I'll take care of the details."
Lu Qingxue smiled happily. She really didn't want to be Princess Rui anymore.
"Okay, I'll go back and pack my things."
Li Rui was helpless: "Sister Xue, are you in such a hurry? Well, you can send your things out in advance. Is there a place to put them outside? I can find a hiding place for you."
Li Rui and Lu Qingxue grew up together, and they have always been like siblings. He also knows everything about Lu Qingxue and Zhuang Yaner.
Lu Qingxue smiled and said, "Let's go to Xi'er's farm first, and then I want to take her to Tianyue Country to find Dai Meng."
Li Rui thought for a moment and nodded: "Tianyue Kingdom is indeed more suitable for you. Dai Meng has now taken control of most of the government affairs of Tianyue Kingdom. It seems that Fourth Brother has done a lot for her. He can also take care of you when you get there."
Lu Qingxue smiled happily, looking forward to a bright future.
After she left, Li Rui felt relieved. All the women in the mansion had been cleared out, and he could finally plan to marry Xier.
Suddenly he remembered that there was a concubine named Xu in the manor, and this woman should have died long ago.
"Sword Shadow."
Jianying came in immediately: "Master, is there anything wrong?"
"Concubine Xu can handle it now."
Jianying understood immediately and took the order to retreat.
Now Li Rui also felt excited.
The next day, when An Muxi got up, she saw the doorman bringing her a gift box.
"County Master, someone just said it was a gift from Dark Dragon to you."
An Muxi was helpless, as this man never showed up easily during the day. But he would occasionally ask someone to send her some gifts to cheer her up.
In fact, she doesn’t care whether the gift is valuable or not. She just wants to feel that the other person is always caring about her.
What's more, the things he gave were indeed very valuable.
I took the gift box and opened it, and found that it was a heart-shaped jade pendant made of mutton-fat white jade.
This hollow design must be the work of a jade carving master. Jade pendants are generally either round or rectangular, and this shape is rare.
If you look closely, you can see a line of small words on it: "Forever together".
An Muxi was moved. Was he making a vow in a subtle way?
These four words are not something that can be said lightly, and people in ancient times took oaths very seriously.
An Muxi gently stroked the small words on it. She wanted to take a gamble.
After breakfast, she remembered what she had promised Lu Qingxue, so she asked Qiu Shuang to go to the farm to arrange accommodation for Lu Qingxue and the others.
She took Qiuyue to the Song Clinic to get some herbs and started making fake-death medicine.
The drugstore next door has also been cleaned up and opened for business. Zi Su and Bai Zhi are now able to manage the store on their own, so the management of the drugstore has been handed over to them.
Two days later, Lu Qingxue asked her maid to fetch the fake death medicine. An Muxi gave them the medicine and told them the address of the manor.
With nothing else to do these days, An Muxi started writing again.
She heard from Shopkeeper Sun that the fans of Lao Wang next door were making a fuss because there had been no new books on the shelves for a long time, and they all ran to the bookstore to inquire.
Taking advantage of the fact that she had nothing to do recently, An Muxi stayed at home and calmed down to create three more picture books.
Then we created a joint sales plan for several stores.
Anyone who spends fifty taels or more in the clinic, drugstore, beauty store, or jewelry store can go to the bookstore and get a book by Lao Wang next door for free.
Or anyone who buys ten books at one time can enjoy a 20% discount on any product in the above stores, and a 20% discount on consultation fees in medical clinics.
The shop owners are all veterans in the business world, but this is the first time they have seen this kind of marketing model.
And the effect was surprisingly good. Customers felt they were getting a good deal, and the business of several stores took a new step forward.
Now, Xiaoqin, Xiaoyun and other little maids simply admire An Muxi when they see her.
The master is a business genius.
That day Qiu Shuang told An Muxi something: Zhuang Yaner had "died of illness".
An Muxi was not surprised. She had given Zhuang Yaner a special medicine last time. After taking it, people would look haggard and have a sallow complexion, but it was actually not harmful to the body.
But most doctors would just think that the patient is at the end of his rope and there is no cure.
"I heard that Master Zhuang was so heartbroken that he fell seriously ill."
An Muxi sneered. If there is a stepmother, there must be a stepfather. Although Master Zhuang is a famous official, he is not a qualified father.
It was impossible for him not to know that the daughter born to his first wife was being tortured by his stepmother.
He felt sad only after Zhuang Yan'er "died"? Is it still useful?
"Has she arrived at the farm?"
Qiu Shuang replied, "Yes, Master Zhuang gave her a grand funeral this time. We spent a lot of time digging her out. She has already taken the antidote."
"That's good. You guys should pay more attention to Zhuangzi and try to help her if she needs anything."
"I have arranged for a maid to take care of her."
"You did a good job. I don't know when Sister Xue will be able to get away."
