Chapter 205 will cause a miscarriage!
Yinshuang was surprised that Su Mowan would suddenly speak up. By the time she realized what was happening, Su Mowan had already left.
Shen Muyue was terrified.
She felt guilty that her plot had been overheard!
Su Mowan noticed her momentary panic.
Su Mowan walked in with her arms crossed, and circled around in front of the stunned people who had no time to react.
Then, she sneered and said provocatively, "The tea you were just talking about, could it be the pot from the night of August 29th? I'll tell you, I drank that tea, which is why Murong Jing is alright."
As Su Mowan spoke, she raised her chin and glanced at Shen Muyue with disdain.
His gaze was disdainful.
Shen Murui's eyes flashed; she knew Su Mowan's intention, and quietly shrank back without saying a word.
Shen Muyue is different.
When she heard that Su Mowan had drunk that pot of tea, her eyes lit up with envy.
Upon realizing a possibility, Shen Muyue's face immediately turned extremely pale, and her slender fingers trembled as she pointed directly at Su Mowan.
"You...you wouldn't have actually benefited from this misfortune, would you...and—"
"you think too much."
Su Mowan pulled up a chair and sat down.
She glanced at him sideways: "Do you think that just because I drank that tea, I have to sleep with Murong Jing?"
Shen Muyue's face turned pale and then red when Su Mowan voiced her thoughts.
However, Su Mowan's words comforted her somewhat.
Even if Shen Murui failed to use that pot of tea to get into Murong Jing's bed, Su Mowan shouldn't get off easy!
Shen Muyue would never do something that benefits someone else!
Although she hadn't heard the whole conversation, Su Mowan could roughly guess that Shen Muyue was definitely going to plant something on Murong Jing again.
Her eyes flickered slightly, and she smiled at Shen Muyue.
"Actually, we're all sisters, why be so hostile, right? It's not hard for you to have an opportunity. Just ask me, and I'll create one for you right away."
Her tone was arrogant.
Shen Muyue was so angry that she could hardly breathe.
Suppressing her anger, she said, "Su Mowan, are you out of your mind? Do you think I'd believe what you say? You want me to beg you? Dream on!"
In Shen Muyue's opinion, Su Mowan's words were nothing more than showing off how favored she was, so she was naturally very angry.
This time, Su Mowan is indeed going to give Shen Muyue a chance.
Because Shen Muyue was also in her upcoming plans.
Her presence and participation are necessary.
Ignoring Shen Muyue's harsh words, Su Mowan turned to the quiet Shen Murui and said, "Since Miss Shen disdains this opportunity, then it is yours, Madam Shen."
"Me...me?"
Shen Murui had no idea what Su Mowan was up to. She pointed to herself, looking flattered, which immediately convinced Shen Muyue.
Su Mowan glanced at Shen Muyue and said slowly, "The Empress's forty-second birthday is in a few days. The Prince wants me to go to Huian Temple to get a peace charm as a birthday gift. But I'm pregnant now, so it's inconvenient for me. Huian Temple is too far away, so I have to trouble Madam Shen to make the trip for me."
After a well-timed pause, Su Mowan continued, "Madam Shen, rest assured, if this matter is handled properly, I will definitely speak well of you to the Prince."
This was a spur-of-the-moment decision.
As it happened, Su Mowan actually knew that the Empress's birthday was just over ten days away, so she simply used it as bait.
I'm not worried that Shen Muyue won't fall for it.
Shen Murui glanced at Su Mowan, then looked at the unpredictable Shen Muyue.
She stammered, "Consort Su, this...this isn't appropriate, is it? I'm just a concubine. How can I beg for something like a talisman? It's meant to be given to Her Majesty the Empress. This is inappropriate..."
"There's nothing wrong with it! I'll go with you then! Since Consort Su is so kind as to help you, how can we let her down! Aren't you going to thank Consort Su?"
As Shen Muyue spoke, she glanced at Su Mowan.
At first, she didn't believe that Su Mowan would be so kind, but since Su Mowan then sent Shen Murui instead, it couldn't be fake.
She decided to go along as well, so she wouldn't lose face.
The fish took the bait, and Su Mowan smiled.
She smiled lazily, not forgetting to mock, "Oh, didn't you just say you wouldn't beg me? How come you're willing to go now? A person should have some backbone."
Shen Muyue gritted her teeth.
She raised an eyebrow and retorted, "How can I feel at ease letting Rui Rui go alone? Indeed, I've heard that Consort Su and Princess Chu don't get along, so she probably can't understand sisterly affection!"
"Of course I can't understand it, and I don't need to understand it. Besides, Su Huayue can't force me to do this or that, and she wouldn't dare to point fingers at me to my face. Only Madam Shen can tolerate this kind of sisterly affection."
After Su Mowan finished speaking, she shook her skirt and stood up.
"Alright, I came here to talk to Madam Shen about this. The Empress's birthday is in thirteen days. As for when to depart for Huian Temple, Madam Shen can decide for herself. I'm tired, so I'll be leaving now."
As she spoke, Su Mowan deliberately pinched her waist.
Yinshuang, being very perceptive, came up to help her and said, "Consort Su, be careful."
Su Mowan glanced at Shen Muyue and smiled, "It's nothing. I've just been like this for the past couple of days, not feeling very energetic. I'll be fine after a while."
After saying that, he slowly walked out of Xiwu Garden, one step at a time.
Shen Muyue was so angry at Su Mowan's retreating figure that she wanted to stomp her feet, but when she saw Shen Murui still standing anxiously to the side, she had no choice but to suppress her anger and said coldly, "Ruirui, what do you think about this?"
This is strange.
Shen Muyue asked her for her opinion for the first time.
After considering all the possibilities, Shen Murui still couldn't figure out Su Mowan's intentions, so she said weakly, "I think Consort Su must be really unwell, which is why this good job fell into my hands..."
Shen Muyue felt uncomfortable after hearing those words.
If she hadn't been so arrogant, she definitely would have handled this matter. She was both angry and regretful.
Fortunately, she can go with Shen Murui; they are sisters!
Shen Muyue coughed, and her tone softened.
"Rui Rui, time is running out. When would be a good time for you to go with me? That way you won't be in a rush and make any mistakes."
Shen Murui thought for a moment and obediently replied, "It's up to you, sister. You can go whenever you want. I'm always free."
Shen Muyue nodded with satisfaction, her expression improving.
She waved her hand.
"Alright, let's put aside what I told you today for now and take care of our trip to Huian Temple first. I'll send someone to let you know when I've decided on a time to go. It's getting late, you should go back now."
Shen Murui couldn't stand it any longer.
He nodded immediately and took his leave with his maid.
Su Mowan returned to Huangfeng Garden and instructed Yinshuang, "Wait at the entrance. When Shen Murui returns, invite her over."
Yinshuang responded and went downstairs.
Qinghe just walked in, her eyes crinkling with laughter.
"Consort Su, you've returned just in time! The dishes are ready, we can eat soon!"
"Okay, go and set the food out, and bring an extra set of bowls and chopsticks."
"Is anyone coming, Your Highness?"
Qinghe stared wide-eyed, asking expectantly.
Su Mowan shook her head: "No, it's because Madam Shen is coming. You should hurry up and prepare. Why are you making so many noises?"
Qinghe stuck out her tongue and reluctantly went out.
Su Mowan's thoughts returned to the important matter.
The reason she lured Shen Muyue there was to make Shen Muyue witness Shen Murui falling off the cliff, which would have a greater impact and make it harder for her to suspect anything later.
When Shen Murui comes in later, I need to explain this plan to her.
A moment later, Shen Murui was invited to Huangfeng Garden by Yinshuang.
Just then, Qinghe came in carrying two plates of food. When Shen Murui saw her, she smiled apologetically.
"Sorry to bother you."
"fine."
Su Mowan gestured for her to sit down, then said, "Let's eat first, and we'll talk after we finish eating."
Yinshuang understood and immediately went out to help serve the dishes. Six dishes and a soup were quickly placed on the table.
Yinshuang set up five chairs at the dining table. Su Mowan invited Shen Murui to sit down first. After Yinshuang and Qinghe each took their chairs, they waited for Shen Murui to sit down.
Shen Murui and her servant looked on in surprise.
The three people, master and servant, remained completely calm.
After a moment of hesitation, Shen Murui moved over shyly and sat down carefully.
The maid Xiaoyun spontaneously stood behind Shen Murui.
Yinshuang and Qinghe then took their seats.
Seeing this, Xiaoyun's heart was filled with turmoil. For mistresses and servants to eat together was utterly a breach of hierarchy! But then again, thinking about it from another perspective, having such a good mistress as Consort Su was quite enviable…
It seems that everything the young lady said earlier was just slander and not credible at all!
As Xiaoyun thought this, a look of envy flashed across her eyes.
There are five chairs in total, and one is currently empty.
Su Mowan looked up.
She smiled at Xiaoyun: "What's your name? Come sit down and have a meal with me. Don't be shy here."
Xiaoyun was flattered and overwhelmed.
She stammered, "Replying to Consort Su, my name is Xiaoyun! I... I won't eat!"
Qinghe found this reaction amusing and bit her lip, laughing. She thought back to her own past reactions, which were also embarrassing, but at least they weren't this bad.
Su Mowan also found it funny.
Just as she was about to offer another word of advice, Shen Murui blushed and said, "Consort Su, please don't make things difficult for Xiaoyun. She's not used to the rules she's followed since she was a child."
"Alright, since you're not used to being with us, go find Aunt Li in the kitchen."
Su Mowan didn't force her. Just like Aunt Li, she encountered Murong Jing the first time she sat down at the table, and was so frightened that she refused to eat at the same table with her again.
Xiaoyun blushed.
Seeing Shen Murui nod in acknowledgment, she then went to the kitchen outside.
The meal was eaten rather hastily, mainly because Shen Murui was too reserved, and Su Mowan only ate a little before stopping.
Yinshuang and Qinghe were in charge of cleaning up.
Su Mowan called Shen Murui to the low couch, gestured for her to sit, and then asked carefully, "Just now, what did Shen Muyue ask you to do?"
Shen Murui pinched her fingers.
Having already chosen her path, she had no choice but to stand on Consort Su's side!
“My elder sister…she asked me to put a drug in His Highness Prince Qin’s tea, but the drug will not harm His Highness Prince Qin. However, if you get close to His Highness Prince Qin, you will…you will miscarry!”
