After my mother read my mind, my whole family rebelled

Chapter 181 Take action in advance

Uncle Ren slowly stood up, his face solemn, and said to Shen Yuyao in a deep voice: "I will do it right away."

After saying this, he limped out of the front hall.

"There's no one else around now, so you two can discuss it and see who will have the final say."

Shen Yuyao watched Uncle Ren leave and smiled again.

She looked at Lu Lian and Xiao Qi with curiosity.

The two looked at each other.

Didn’t the master say that the lady from Prince Ning’s Mansion in front of us is not an ordinary person, but a god-like existence?

But, no matter how you look at her, left or right, up or down, she doesn't look like a powerful person.

At best, she is just a gorgeous and graceful princess.

How could he be the real master of their East Factory in the future?

You see, now that she already knew that the two of them were from the Eastern Depot, she was still not annoyed or angry, and was still chatting and laughing as if nothing had happened.

It doesn't look like something big has just happened in the Duke's Mansion.

Both of them were muttering in their hearts.

Princess Ning is really stupid.

Even though her own mother was nearly poisoned, she remained calm and just asked about what happened.

Isn't it obvious?

Xiao Qi is the main attacker, with Lu Lian as the auxiliary.

Lu Lian curled his lips quietly, cupped his hands, and said, "Whatever your majesty wants to know, just ask. I will tell you everything I know."

"Okay, then I won't be polite!" Shen Yuyao's expression suddenly changed, and she asked seriously, "Your master just told me yesterday that all the cakes and pastries given to the Duke's Mansion by the Imperial Palace will first pass through your East Factory before entering the Duke's Mansion."

"She solemnly promised me that anything that could enter the Duke's Mansion would be non-toxic and harmless."

As Shen Yuyao spoke, she thought of Xu Yunxuan's determined expression.

If she knew that she almost made a big mistake today, she would probably be as scared as Shen Yuyao.

"Why did you put these highly poisonous cakes in the Duke's Mansion today and almost caused a disaster?"

Shen Yuyao no longer hesitated and directly expressed all the doubts in her mind.

Lu Lian said, "In reply to the princess, we are the ones who are responsible for changing the cakes in the palace. We were sentenced to death by the Crown Princess for no reason early this morning."

Shen Yuyao was shocked when she heard this. Mrs. Lu was really ruthless and decisive in her actions.

Lu Lian looked a little embarrassed and continued, "We who were in the Duke's Mansion were not able to get the news in time, which is why these poisonous cakes were sneaked into the mansion."

The East Factory almost had a disaster today, and Lu Lian was actually secretly shocked.

He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, Xiao Qi was alert enough. When he found out that the eunuch who came to deliver the cakes had been replaced, he immediately decided to deliberately bump into Miss Ling Xiao."

Shen Yuyao nodded. Lu Lian was right. Xiao Qi was indeed alert enough.

"When the cakes were broken up and fell to the ground, Xiao Qi could tell just by the smell that someone had mixed a highly poisonous substance into the cakes: Crane's Beak Red!"

When Shen Yuyao heard this, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows again.

With just a little smell, he could tell that a deadly poison had been mixed into the pastries, and he could even instantly and accurately identify what kind of poison it was.

On this point, Shen Yuyao thought to herself that even she herself might not be able to do it so quickly and accurately.

What’s more, he is just a young boy of fourteen or fifteen years old.

This sounds really unbelievable.

No wonder Xu Yunxuan recruited a young boy like Xiao Qi into her "East Factory".

Xiao Qi, he does have some special powers.

"Xiao Qi had no choice but to throw a tantrum and roll on the ground, knocking all the cakes to the ground and then crushing them into crumbs."

"When Xiao Qi saw that the cakes were ruined, he hurried to the backyard and told Yu Xiaoren the details of the incident."

"I am afraid that the crumbs of the cakes will be eaten by some greedy servants by mistake and cause death, so I can only give them all to the big black dog."

"..."

Shen Yuyao thought to herself that the big black dog was really wronged. Alas!

Although she is a princess, she is a genuine dog lover.

Fortunately, the big black dog used its vigorous life to alert everyone in the Duke's Mansion.

Big black dog, even if he dies, his death is worthwhile.

Listening to Lu Lian's calm narration, Shen Yuyao felt a surge of fear in her heart.

If Xiao Qi had not been alert enough, the conspiracy of Crown Princess Lu would have succeeded.

And it happened right under the nose of Shen Yuyao.

This is truly a great humiliation for Shen Yuyao!

Before she could even seek revenge on the Kai and Lu families, the Lu family had already taken action in advance as if they had sensed something.

Shen Yuyao secretly gritted her teeth and said inwardly, "Mrs. Lu, Sister Chang's old grudge has not been avenged yet, and you have added new hatred to me!"

After Lu Lian finished explaining what happened, he looked up at Shen Yuyao, only to find that she was staring blankly with a gloomy face.

Lu Lian suddenly couldn't help but feel doubtful about Xu Yunxuan. Could the princess in front of him really be more powerful than his current master?

He really didn't notice it at all.

Alas, could it be that even the master has made a mistake?

The front hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. The three of them were silent, each thinking about their own things.

For a moment, the atmosphere was filled with awkwardness.

After a while, Shen Yuyao finally let out a long sigh. She looked up and said, "Lu Lian, how did your master contact you?"

"My Lord, the Master once said that if our identities are discovered, we can tell you the truth. As for our life or death, it will be up to you!"

Lu Lian still spoke calmly, as if he was only talking about something concerning someone else's life.

Xiao Qi is still young after all, and from his tense face, one can tell that he is gritting his teeth.

With his eyes slightly red, Xiao Qi said softly, "Princess, it is my fault that my identity was exposed today. Please let Lu Lian go."

It seems that Lu Lian treats Xiao Qi very well on weekdays, otherwise, at the critical moment, someone with Xiao Qi's personality would not take the initiative to plead with Shen Yuyao for him.

"Princess, don't listen to what Xiao Qi said. The master once said that I am mainly responsible for our two actions. Xiao Qi has done a good enough job."

"Who said I was going to punish you?"

Shen Yuyao said, "You two have only made contributions to today's matter, so how can you be wrong?"

"..."

The expressions on Lu Lian and Xiao Qi's faces were obviously relaxed, and there was some gratitude in their eyes when they looked at Shen Yuyao.

It seems that Xu Yunxuan is quite strict in her administration on a daily basis.

Otherwise, these two people would not have thought of taking the initiative to take responsibility and die for each other just because their identities were exposed.
