Chapter 101 Killing Three Birds with One Stone

"What did they look like when they came back yesterday?" Doctor Yan continued to ask. Mrs. Li thought for a moment and said, "Yesterday Qing continuously said that monsters were watching her when she was crying." "You'd better hire someone else. I can't help it." Hearing this, Doctor Yan couldn't help sighing. Then he walked to the door. Seeing that, Mrs. Li hurriedly ran to the front of Doctor Yan, knelt on the ground, held his leg, and said, "Please, please, please help my children. They are my everything!" "Do you remember where they encountered that? Take your children to find out the place. The sooner, the better." Doctor Yan said, broke away her hands, and walked out of the house. He hoped that Mrs. Li would follow his instructions to go to the Blossoming Peace. Maybe the infanta could find out who poisoned them and the antidote, and perhaps saved the two lives! According to what Mrs. Li said, the two children must have been poisoned by the grass of fear and illusion, which was discovered outside the city gate and had killed some people. Those who smelt the grass would feel more and more fear in their mind, and finally, they would be scared to death by the consciousness in their mind. To prevent someone from being victimized again, the Emperor ordered the dean of the imperial hospital to find a way to eradicate the kind of grass. Unexpectedly, after many years, some people were poisoned by the grass again, and they were still two poor children. Doctor Yan felt that it was not that simple. It must be the retaliation because the infanta had offended someone in the palace. But the children were innocent. He remembered that someone said that the imperial hospital had been struggling to study the antidote to the grass of fear and illusion just in case. He heard that the infanta was a nice person. She would understand that and find out the reason. Maybe she could find the antidote before the grass of fear and illusion took effect. Now they had to gamble, which is also why he told Mr. and Mrs. Li to hurry to the Blossom Peach after learning what had happened. In the mansion of the duke. Early in the morning, Yang Zijin was still asleep when she was awakened by a strange voice. Yang Zijin opened her eyes and saw Mammy Chen standing beside the bed. She couldn't help but make a tingle. Mammy Chen was the maid of Li Mingzi, but why did she come to her in the early morning? Then she suddenly sat up and asked, "What are you doing here?" At this moment, Lan, who was standing by, winked at Yang Zijin. Yang Zijin frowned and did not understand. Mammy Chen looked at her and said. "Your Highness, Your Lordship has ordered me to teach you the etiquette until you learn how to respect and humble." Mammy Chen said coldly, deliberately stressing the last three words. Mammy Chen certainly knew where Yang Zijin had lived before. When she said this, she obviously looked at her with contempt. Hearing that, Yang Zijin sneered, "It’s the decision of the Duke of Mu, isn’t it?" "Your Highness, you don’t need to ask too much. Just follow me to learn how to be a noble lady!" Mammy Chen continued. At this moment, Yang Zijin stood up from the bed, walked to the front of Mammy Chen, stared at her, and said, "What if I don't learn!" "This is not my decision. If you do not learn, then I will have to report it to Your Lordship." Undoubtedly, Mammy Chen was not frightened by her remarks. Yang Zijin did not look at her anymore and thought for a while. It seemed really the order of the Duke of Mu. Li Mingzi was indeed malicious. As a result, Li Mingzi would regain her position in the heart of the Duke of Mu. She also pretended to be virtuous. Duke of Mu would be angry if she refused to learn. They would also tell others that the infanta was a lazy and negative girl. But if she accepted, her future life would definitely be in trouble. What a great plan of killing three birds with one stone! Yang Zijin thought for a long time and finally decided to follow Mammy Chen. On the one hand, she would like to know the plan of Li Mingzi; on the other hand, she could investigate the matter of involving her mother while staying in the mansion. Then she nodded and answered, "Well, I will follow you, Mammy Chen. When shall we start?" "It’s very kind of you, Your Highness. We'll start after you wash up!" Hearing Yang Zijin’s agreement, Mammy Chen said with a smile. "Then I will wait for you outside the door." Then she walked out. At this moment, Lan ran forward quickly, "Your Highness, why did you agree? Mammy Chen is strict in teaching people the rules. Besides, she is a person closing to Duchess Mu." "Never mind. I have my plan. Please help me wash and dress quickly." Yang Zijin said calmly. In Blossoming Peach. Xian had got up and was preparing to open the gate of the amusement park. Soon it would be the time for students to go to school. Before he reached the front door, he heard rapid clapping. Xian walked quickly and opened the door. It was Li Dazhu and his wife who hold their two children in their arms. The kids were both groaning. Seeing Xian, the couple knelt to the ground with tears in their eyes. "Save our children, please. Save our children!" "What... what’s the matter?" Xian did not know what had happened. At this moment, Li Dazhu wiped his tears and said, "The children were ill like this when they went back from school yesterday. Please help them!" The peddlers who came out early in the morning to set up stalls looked at there from time to time. Xian said to Li Dazhu and his wife at once, "Come in quickly. There is no solution at the door now. Please tell me the details inside." After hearing the couple say that they went back from the school, they quickly let them enter the courtyard. Before they knew the situation clearly, staying at the door like this would surely attract people to watch. When the couple carried the children into the courtyard, Xian quickly closed the gate and guided them into his room. "Quickly put them on the bed first." At this time, Wufu and Lu'an also got up. Seeing that Xian had asked the person with the children to enter his room, they quickly followed him in. Seeing the two children shivering in bed and the couple crying nearby, they asked, "What’s going on?" Xian saw Wufu and Lu'an coming, and he hurriedly ordered, "It is not the time to explain now. Wufu, please call the doctor." Hearing Xian saying so hurriedly, Wufu no longer asked the reason. He turned and ran to the outside. When Li Dazhu heard that Xian would like to call a doctor, he cried and said, "It's no use... no use... We have asked a doctor. He said that only by sending them here can they survive." "Please, save them. They are still so young. If they can survive, I will give you my life for them." Mrs. Li threw herself in front of Xian and kowtowed to him repeatedly. Hearing what Li Dazhu and his wife said, Xian realized that the couple believed they in the Blossoming Peach could make the children better. He could not help frowning. The more he listened, the more confused. He quickly bent down to pull Mrs. Li up, who was kneeling on the ground. "You don’t have to do that. Get up, please." "No, I will be kneeling here until you promise me to save my children." Mrs. Li began to cry more loudly. Xian had no choice but to told Li Dazhu standing aside, "If they were ill, you should ask the doctor. Why did you say that we can save their life? How could it be?" So, Li Dazhu repeated what Doctor Yan said completely. After hearing that, Xian finally felt it was not that simple. He knew Doctor Yan, which was meticulous in his life and work. He also helped poor villagers frequently. Now Doctor Yan asked Li Dazhu and his wife to bring their two children here. What did he mean? Doctor Yan could not gamble with the lives of the two children. He must be sure that if they came here, the children would be saved. Thinking of this, Xian realized that there must be something wrong! Then he felt that this matter should be reported to Yang Zijin at once, so he ordered, "Wufu, please call the teacher in the school and ask him to think carefully whether the children experience something unusual today in the school." "No problem!" Wufu said and ran out of the house. Xian then ordered Lu'an, "Watch over here, and I'll be right back." Lu'an naturally knew that Xian was looking for Yang Zijin, "Well, go ahead!" Xian looked at Li Dazhu and his wife, who were still crying. Then he turned and ran out of the house straight to the mansion of the duke. At this time, in the yard of Yang Zijin, Mammy Chen was talking with Yang Zijin about rules and rituals. "As a woman, you cannot forget any of the rules and rituals. Your Highness, do you remember what I’ve said?” Mammy Chen asked. Yang Zijin replied with a poker face, "Take it easy, Mammy Chen. I will not make a mistake." "Well, if you have memorized it, recite it to me. If there are any mistakes, you will must copy it ten times." Mammy Chen sneered and said. Yang Zijin laughed scornfully after hearing that. The ancient punishment was really not creative! But she is not afraid of that because she could never forget anything she had heard and read since she was a child. She knew that Mammy Chen had no good intentions, but since she decided to stay in the mansion to investigate her mother's past, she would memorize it well. Anyway, she won't lose anything! Yang Zijin was about to recite when Jiang Wei rushed up and walked quickly to Yang Zijin. She whispered near her ears, "Your Highness, there are something wrong in the Blossoming Peach." "What? Something wrong? Let's go." After hearing that, Yang Zijin was shocked at first, then turned around and wanted to leave. Before taking two steps, she was stopped by Mammy Chen. "Stop. I don’t know what happened, but since I am teaching you, how can you leave with no reason?" "What if I leave today?" Yang Zijin stopped and said coldly to Mammy Chen. This old mammy really thought she took her for granted. "Well. Your Highness, where are you going? Don't forget you are learning the rules now. " Seeing Li Mingzi coming, Mammy Chen hurried forward to salute her. "Your Ladyship, you are here." "It turned out to be Duchess Mu. I thought it is an ignorant servant girl who is talking. Did you come here to supervise, Your Ladyship?" Yang Zijin asked as if nothing had happened. Li Mingzi couldn't help but feel angry after hearing that. She was so angry because Yang Zijin dared to speak to her like this, but for a moment she hid his anger on her face. "Take it easy, Your Highness. I just come to see how you learn these rules, but it seems that you have no progress." Then Li Mingzi said to Mammy Chen, "Are you kidding me? How did you teach our infanta? Why she has no gains after almost a whole day? " "Your Ladyship, pardon me. Pardon me, please. It is all my fault." Mammy Chen hurriedly cooperated and said. Li Mingzi sneered, "All your fault? Don't forget what Your Lordship said. If the infanta doesn’t make progress, Mammy Chen can punish her with a stick." "What? You want to hit me with a stick. Come on. I believe that you dare not! Jiang Wei, let's go." Looking at the master and servant cooperating together, Yang Zijin sneered and continued to say. Seeing Yang Zijin going out of the yard, Li Mingzi shouted, "Mammy, go ahead!" Mammy Chen was in a dilemma after hearing Li Mingzi’s instructions. Indeed, the Duke of Mu had said that if the infanta did not listen to her, or got out of control, and then she can give her a slight punishment. But she clearly knew that these are just angry words of the Duke at that time. When she saw the firm eyes of Duchess Mu, Mammy had to pick up the stick behind and went to stop Yang Zijin before she had walked out of the yard.
