Chapter 198 Can you make medicine?
Lily has just sent someone to find out what happened today.
She was also shocked by Liu Yiyi's cruelty, but also very happy.
Liu Yiyi is so stupid that you can't blame her for rejecting such a good opportunity.
Lily quickly thought of everything. Right now, in the Marquis' Mansion, only Liu Yiyi and she were close to Xue Wanxian.
If something happened to Liu Yiyi, then her chances of winning Xue Wanxian's favor would greatly increase.
However, she knew that Xue Wanxian didn't like her before, and it was impossible for him to like her again all of a sudden. She had to work hard on her own.
Lily thought very clearly that if she wanted to win Xue Wanxian's favor, the fastest way was to start with this child.
Xue Wanxian loved this child very much, and he did not even let Liu Yiyi take him to Furongyuan, but raised him in Mingdeyuan.
As long as she can win the child's favor, she will increase her chances of meeting Xue Wanxian.
With more opportunities to meet, she would naturally find a way to make Xue Wanxian fall in love with her.
However, Xue Zeming is still young and doesn't understand anything. It is very difficult to make him like me.
The simplest method is to take medicine.
Lily specifically asked her personal maid to go out and buy some medicine.
When applied on a child, it would make the child feel extremely uncomfortable and cry incessantly, so she applied the antidote on her body.
As long as she holds the child and removes the medicine from her body, the child will naturally calm down.
Lily knew that Xue Wanxian had just punished Liu Yiyi. She knew that her chance had come and she had to act as soon as possible, so what happened just now happened.
However, Xue Wanxian and the wet nurse did not notice anything unusual. They just thought that Xue Zeming was really unwell and was a little confused.
Although Xue Wanxian had doubts in his heart, he never thought that Lily would do this.
In addition, with so many things happening today, he had no time to think about what was wrong. As long as the child didn't cry, it would be fine.
Xue Wanxian hesitated for a while, then looked at Xue Zeming who was quiet at this time, and nodded in agreement, "Okay then, Lily, since the child recognizes you a little, you can help the wet nurse to look after the child first."
"Yes, I will definitely take good care of the child. The little master is so smart and cute, and I like him very much." Lily smiled happily.
"Well, you guys take care of the child first. If there is anything, send someone to come to me. I have something else to deal with, so I will leave first."
There were so many things to do today that Xue Wanxian didn't have time to stay with the children.
"Yes, please rest assured, sir." Lily nodded obediently.
As Xue Wanxian walked out of the child's room, the housekeeper came in from outside.
"Master Hou."
"Follow me to the study." Xue Wanxian knew that the butler wanted to tell him about Liu Yiyi.
"Yes."
Arriving at the study, Xue Wanxian sat on a chair and looked up at the housekeeper.
"How's the investigation going?"
Xue Wanxian thought about what Liu Yiyi had said before and felt that there might really be something wrong with it.
Liu Yiyi spoke so confidently that Xue Wanxian couldn't help but think that maybe he really misunderstood Liu Yiyi. Even if she wanted something, she wouldn't go to this extent.
So, after punishing Liu Yiyi, Xue Wanxian asked the housekeeper to investigate the matter again to make sure that he had done nothing wrong.
"My Lord, I have investigated and found that the situation is the same as before. There is no difference. The food in the kitchen was sent by Miss Liu, and the incense in Changshou Hall was also replaced by Miss Liu.
Moreover, this old servant also found some things in Miss Liu's room."
"What is it?" Xue Wanxian frowned.
"It seems to be some medicine, and some things used to make medicine." The butler took out something wrapped in cloth from his sleeve and placed it on the table.
Xue Wanxian took two samples and looked at them. He could smell that they were indeed some medicines.
"Do you know what medicine it is?" Xue Wanxian felt disappointed.
He suddenly remembered that today in the banquet hall, the owner of the pharmacy said that Liu Yiyi bought those medicinal herbs, but the poison was not bought there.
Could it be that the poison in Manager Chen’s son was actually mixed by Liu Yiyi herself?
Does Liu Yiyi also know medical skills?
This terrible thought came into Xue Wanxian's mind, and he felt a chill all over his body.
"I don't know about this. I only brought them here for the Marquis to check, and haven't told anyone else about this." The butler shook his head.
"Butler, take these medicines out and have someone check them secretly to see what they are used for."
"Yes."
The butler also looked solemn and left with all his belongings.
Xue Wanxian stood up, hesitated for a moment, and went to Furong Courtyard.
In a room on the west side of the yard, some things used to make medicine were indeed found.
There were pestles, herb knives, medicine staffs, medicine pots and other things he didn't recognize.
The room was filled with a strong smell of herbs, and there were quite a few processed herbs on the shelves nearby.
After leaving the room, Xue Wanxian called the maid in the yard.
"Who usually comes into this room?"
"In reply to the Marquis, only Madam and Xiaoyu are allowed to come in. No one else is allowed to come near."
"Where is Xiaoyu?"
"My Lord, Xiaoyu is cleaning the yard over there."
"Cleaning the yard? Isn't she Liu Yiyi's personal maid? Why is she doing this?"
Xue Wanxian was stunned. He remembered that Xiaoyu was a maid bought by Liu Yiyi herself from outside. If she was not serving her personally, how could she be cleaning the yard?
No wonder he didn’t see this girl much at the banquet today.
"Well, I heard that Xiaoyu did something that annoyed Madam, so Madam punished her to clean the yard outside during this period of time."
"Go and call her over."
Xiaoyu came over quickly.
"I want to ask you, who is usually in this room?" Xue Wanxian stared at Xiao Yu.
"It's me and my lady." Seeing that Xue Wanxian seemed to be walking out of the pharmacy, Xiaoyu was immediately frightened.
"What does this do?"
"This, this..." Xiaoyu couldn't answer and stammered.
"Speak!" Xue Wanxian stepped forward and kicked Xiaoyu hard on the knee. Xiaoyu felt the pain and kneeled down subconsciously.
"Xiao Yu, you have to think clearly about who is the master of this mansion. If you don't know what is good for you, I will have you executed immediately and your body thrown out to feed the dogs."
Xue Wanxian looked at the person on the ground sinisterly and threatened.
"Madam uses it to make medicine." Xiao Yu was so scared that she could only tell the truth.
"Making medicine? You mean, Liu Yiyi can make medicine?"
"Yes, Madam knows medical skills and can make medicine. Lord, please spare my life. I will tell you everything I know and beg you to let me go."
