Hua Shu and Hua Chao on the side also saw what Gu Deyin wanted to do, and both hurriedly tried to dissuade him.

"Second Grandma, there is no need for us to take this risk. It's not worth it for a cousin..."

"Who said it was for her?"

Gu Deyin's expression turned cold. She wanted the entire Xu family to pay the price for this.

The theft case last time could only be regarded as an appetizer.

Just sacrificing one Xu Huizhu would not hurt the Xu family at all.

But what she wanted to do this time was to seek money and kill people. When the time comes, the achievements of the Xu family's ancestors may not be able to protect their entire family.

Otherwise, I would really feel sorry for myself who died in vain in my previous life.

In order to achieve her ultimate goal, she did not hesitate to take risks.

Xiu'er saw her master's determination, so she no longer tried to persuade him, but said seriously.

"Second Grandma, I have another method that I can use..."

When Gu Deyin heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he urged, "Speak quickly."

"Second Mistress, this toxin is not overbearing. On the contrary, it takes effect slowly and is a chronic toxin. I can make another medicine to replace it. When the time comes, the imperial doctor will not find any clues when he comes to check your pulse. The most important thing is This medicine will not harm the body."

Gu Deyin suddenly said happily, "Then use the medicine you made, as long as the poisoning phenomenon is the same."

She didn't really want to harm her body. After all, she had spent enough time in bed to recuperate in her previous life. However, if the toxin was lightly poisoned, it would not cause much damage to the body, so she decided to take the risk.

But now that she has a better substitute, she won't joke about her body.

After discussing with Xiu'er, Gu Deyin asked Xiu'er to make medicine first, while she summoned the cook who made her supplements.

As soon as the cook came in, she greeted Gu Deyin with a shy smile, then lowered her hands and looked at Gu Deyin carefully.

Gu Deyin saw through her uneasiness at a glance. It seemed that she knew that there was something fishy in the supplement.

She felt relieved, but she said softly on her face, "I didn't mean to call you here. I just felt very good after eating the tonic you stewed, so I wanted to meet the cook behind it and give her a reward." Let’s talk to express my feelings.”

When the cook heard this, the huge stone in her heart fell to the ground, and she said with a smile, "If the second mistress eats well, the old slave will be happy, and I can brag to them in the kitchen."

Gu Deyin smiled and said, "If you do well, that's your ability."

The smile on the cook's face suddenly grew bigger. She took the silver reward handed over by Hua Chao, expressed her sincerity in a hurry, and finally left happily with the silver reward in her pocket.

As soon as the man went out, the smile on Gu Deyin's face faded.

"Take someone to follow her and see who she comes into contact with."

Hua Chao nodded and hurriedly opened the curtain and went out to make arrangements.

As soon as the cook left Gu Deyin's Lan Xinyuan, she immediately went to find Xu Zhilan.

As soon as they met, she smiled and said, "My cousin is very knowledgeable and capable. The second mistress just praised the old slave for the good stew and specially gave him a reward. This is thanks to my cousin's guidance."

Xu Zhilan glanced at the silver ingot, a little disdainful of the short-sightedness of the cook, but she was still useful now, and her face was still very kind.

"Isn't that great? I said I wouldn't harm you. Do you believe me now?"

The cook hurriedly flattered her and said, "I believe it, of course I believe it. My cousin has always been the most considerate of us servants."

"In that case, then go back and work hard. If I get any good recipes for meals, I will give them to you when the time comes." The cook immediately thanked her profusely, and Xu Zhilan waved her hand, indicating that she could go out.

As soon as the cook left, she glanced at the food the cook brought and said to the maid next to her with some disgust, "You guys should take it out and share it."

When the maid saw that these were all good pastries, she immediately smiled and said, "Thank you, cousin."

Xu Zhilan smiled disapprovingly. Gu Deyin did not allow her to live in Lan Xinyuan, but she could still find a way to deal with her. She smiled secretly, and when she looked up again, she was the cheerful and generous cousin again.

Most of the servants in the Xuanning Hou Mansion like their cousin Xu Zhilan. After all, the cousin is kind and easy to talk to, and sometimes she even gives them pointers, which benefits them a lot.

Especially this time, there was a cook in the kitchen who won the reward of the second mistress for this. For a while, the servants in the house were all holding Xu Zhilan in their arms.

Hua Chao reported everything she learned to her master one by one, and she didn't forget to comment after she finished speaking.

"From what I've seen, this cousin is too proud of herself. She's really shameless."

She has never seen such a shameless person to harm people in this way and have others hold her smelly feet.

Gu Deyin sneered, "It's not that easy to be a good person."

When the backlash starts, Xu Zhilan will know what it means to shoot oneself in the foot.

"Don't worry about her. The more proud she is now, the more miserable she will fall in the future."

Hua Chao stopped mentioning this unfortunate cousin.

Xu Zhilan knew that she had arranged everything, but Xu Zhilan reduced the number of visits to Lan Xinyuan. Gu Deyin didn't care, but she began to gradually let the outside world know that she was not feeling well.

After Xu Zhilan heard about it, she was very happy, but she still didn't dare to be careless. She had to go and see it with her own eyes to confirm.

So, on this day, she specially brought supplements to Lan Xinyuan to visit.

Gu Deyin lay weakly on the bed, looking a little pale and looking really sick.

"Cousin, why are you so sick? Have you asked the doctor to come over and see you?"

She hurriedly walked forward and sat in front of the bed, asking with a concerned look.

Gu Deyin glanced at her and said, "It's okay. Maybe it's because the season has changed, so I have some minor symptoms. The doctor has prescribed a few doses of medicine, and it should be fine after taking it."

"That's good, it almost scared me to death."

Xu Zhilan hurriedly patted her chest and made a relieved expression.

Seeing her coy look, Gu Deyin immediately felt a little nauseous. In order to avoid revealing her true emotions, she lowered her head slightly as if she was not in high spirits.

"I heard that you are helping my mother-in-law prepare for my sister-in-law's wedding. I'm afraid you are very busy, so there is no need to make this extra trip. Once the season changes, my illness will be cured."

Xu Zhilan said hurriedly, "These are two different things. No matter how busy I am, I have to come over and see you, otherwise I won't worry."

Gu Deyin really didn't want to give in to her, so she looked tired. At this time, Xu Zhilan couldn't stay any longer, so she had to leave first.

After the people left, Gu Deyin opened her eyes and saw her getting out of bed and looking at Xu Zhilan's leaving figure through the window lattice.

This time she set a trap for Xu Zhilan, but she got in without noticing.

Very good.

Tit for retaliation, the law of heaven is clear, retribution will not be happy.
