"Grandmother! Grandmother! How are you? " I saw my grandmother leaning over the seat of the carriage, her purplish-red material reflecting a gorgeous, cool light.

I wanted to reach out and touch it, but somehow my grandmother moved away from me and disappeared into a cloud of white mist.

"Miss! "Miss!" I was a little shaken by her presence, and I finally came to my senses.

A silver spoon had been scooped up on one side of the bean-green tent, letting a large amount of sunlight in.

"Are you alright?" Lan Lingyun sat on the edge of the bed with her coat on, holding a cup of tea as she looked at me worriedly.

I lightly patted my forehead. "I'm fine!" I just had a nightmare. "

For some reason, the moment he closed his eyes last night, he would dream about his grandmother's appearance when the carriage crashed. In his dream, he would repeat that incident several times over and over again.

"Do you want to lie down a little longer or just get up?" Lan Li listened to me with only a dream to calm down, and her expression relaxed a little.

"I want to lie down a little longer." I giggled as I drank the tea in her hand before passing the empty cup back to her.

"Alright, I'll call you when the time comes." Lan Li stretched out her hand to put down the tent, and then quietly walked away.

Although he was still lying on the bed with a warm blanket all over his body, he was not sleepy at all.

My grandmother's injuries were all caused by me, and she's getting old, so I'm afraid she won't be able to heal them for a long time." I might as well go and have a look today. If it's not good, I'll have to persuade Grandmother to invite a doctor to come and have a look. Speaking of husband, I don't know if Grandmother used that incense again. It was indeed a disaster for Liu Lang to stay by his grandmother's side, how could he find a way to send him away without making a sound? I wonder what his mother wanted when she invited him?

"Miss, it's time to wake up." Just when he was tossing and turning about in boredom, Lan Ling came in and shouted.

"Alright!" I lifted the curtain and got up. Lan Lingyun came to help me put on my shoes.

Entering the screen, Lan Lingyun took a water-green flower pattern soft satin for me to put on.

"Find me a new set of sleeping clothes!" I pointed at myself.

Last night, he had slept restlessly in his dreams. His clothes had long since become wrinkled, and he was also sweating in his dreams. It was really uncomfortable to wear them on his body.

Lan Li covered her mouth and laughed. "Miss is still so spoiled."

I smiled and glared at her, then changed into a set of snow-white underwear.

After changing out of his clothes, Lu Kui brought a servant girl in to wash her face. She was smiling as usual, but she didn't personally carry the basin.

I smiled and said, "Didn't I say that there's no need for you to serve me for the next few days?"

Lu Kui commanded the maidservants as he smiled, "He has woken up from his sleep and is fine even if he has nothing to do."

After washing up, I took Lan Li with me to my grandmother's courtyard, while the green bandit was left at home with Lan Xin.

Grandmother's courtyard wasn't as lively as it usually was. The usually noisy and joking maidservants stood obediently under the porch. The daughter-in-law who served Grandmother getting up also didn't travel back and forth like usual.

Entering the hall, Hong Chang and mother Du were standing together and talking, upon seeing the two of us, she immediately smiled and came over to pay her respects.

"The old lady slept a bit late last night, so she still hasn't woken up this morning." Mama Du explained to me with a smile.

"What is it? What's wrong with Grandmother? " I asked quickly.

"It's nothing, I just got a little scared yesterday so I went to sleep last night."

Since he was sleeping, it was likely that he would have a sleepless night. At this time, the most suitable time to use the Calming Incense was …

"You didn't reignite the incense for Grandmother, did you?"

Mother Du had an apologetic look on her face. "The old lady really couldn't sleep well at night, so she lit one."

I kept telling her not to use it, but she didn't listen.

Actually, I had already thought that Grandmother would use it again. It was just a fluke.

"Can I have a word with Mom?" I asked in a low voice.

Although Hong Chang seems to be a loyal and reliable person, she is not someone that I understand, and I do not dare to believe her. Mother Du, on the other hand, was with her grandmother, wholeheartedly protecting her.

Hong Chang was a wise and intelligent person, she smiled and said that she was going to the kitchen to see if the old lady had finished boiling the morning water, so she bowed and left.

Mama Du was going to ask me to come to the ear room to talk.

"It's good that you're here. No one will eavesdrop." I laughed and tugged at her sleeve.

The hall was very spacious. Once someone eavesdropped and was discovered, there would not even be a place to hide.

Mother Du smiled and nodded.

"Mom, don't burn that incense for Grandmother in the future. You should secretly find a place to bury that incense." I whispered, "There's poison in that incense."

Mother Du jumped in fright, the handkerchief in her hand fell to the ground, her face turning pale.

"Then isn't our old lady sick?" Her voice was a little high, so I hurriedly squeezed her arm.

Mother Du immediately realized she had lost her composure and looked around, as if no one had noticed this.

She asked me in a low voice, "Miss, do you mean that the old lady is not sick, but poisoned?"

I nodded, and Mother Du's expression turned ugly.

Her hands were trembling from anger. She whispered, "Who is so heartless as to harm our old lady?!" Our old lady has been staying at home all day, trying to offend someone and hurt him like this! "

Mother Du suddenly froze, her face pale as she shook my hand. With a hint of panic in her eyes, she said, "This husband is Madam."

She didn't continue speaking, but she clearly suspected her mother.

All the evidence pointed to my mother, but I had a suspicion that even if my mother didn't like my grandmother, she would never kill her. Furthermore, how could his mother be so foolish as to personally send the murderer in? Wasn't this asking for trouble?

However, the others were no longer suspicious.

"I'm not sure who did it, but I'm looking into it. Grandmother needs to be careful." I took Mother Du's hand and squeezed it. Mother Du's expression was very serious.

"I'll check it myself every day." Mother Du solemnly promised me.

I smiled to myself. What's the use of you examining it yourself? He was afraid that those who knew the art of medicine would have to watch from the side.

On the surface, I couldn't refute her. I could only smile and say, "Then I'll have to trouble mother to take care of this."

There was a commotion in my grandmother's room, probably because my grandmother stood up and my mother invited me in, but I politely declined.

"I'd better wait here for Grandmother to call me before I go in!"

Even though she was her grandfather's grandson, she was still a girl after all. Who would be willing to let her hair be disheveled and unkempt to see others? Her grandmother also had a strong personality.

Mama Du only knew what I meant, so she went in and smiled at me.

After a quarter of an hour, Hong Chang came out smiling and said: "Old granny invites young miss to enter."

When he entered the house, his grandmother was sitting in front of the mirror. The silver strands on her head had already been neatly combed back, and she smiled as she picked her earrings from the jewelry box with her mother.

"Big girl, pick out which one for me?" Grandmother smiled and waved at me.

In the mirror, her forehead was a bluish purple, visible beneath the white bun of her hair.

Guilt filled my heart as I lowered my eyes and asked, "Does it still hurt?"

Grandmother smiled and said to Mama Du, "You all say that Eldest Miss is very steady. In my opinion, she is still a child. You see, I just bumped my head into her when I got up, which scared her to this extent! "

My eyes were red. Grandmother was trying to cover for me.

I forced a smile, "Isn't it all because you, Grandmother, are too intelligent? That's why I'm tongue-tied." I smiled and selected a pair of emerald earrings from the box and gave them to my grandma's daughter-in-law.

After breakfast, Mother Du advised her grandmother, "Although I accidentally touched it, it is still reassuring to take a look at it. Today is the day that a doctor who has settled his mother's womb came to request for a safe meridian. It would be better to call him over to take a look. "

It seemed that I had told her about the incense, and she immediately became interested in finding a new teacher for her grandmother.

He calmly invited her over, saying that it was just for the sake of not arousing his mother's suspicions.

Grandmother thought for a moment, but it was along the way, so she agreed.

I was overjoyed. This was a good opportunity for me to take this opportunity to visit Aunt Chen and see if there was anything wrong with her.

"Shopkeeper Xiao gave me three pieces of muslin made from Jiangnan province. Since Aunt Chen's husband is coming to your room, and I still have to hide, why don't I take this opportunity to send him off to her? " I got up to leave.

"You're just a little girl, how did you know what's suitable for making urine films?" Grandmother pointed at me and chuckled before continuing, "Where is she? If you find a maid, you can give it to her."

Grandmother was afraid that I might cause some trouble in Aunt Chen's room.

I winked at Mother Du and smiled. "The last time, my concubine had a bad temper, and I don't know if she was all right with the food dishes I gave her. In the end, the one in the Aunt's stomach is my sister-in-law. "

Grandmother looked hesitant.

The reason for Grandmother's hesitation was obvious.

I didn't go to see Aunt Chen because she was so grateful to me, or because the child in her had so much respect for me. But this child was born right under my nose, and I have no conflict of interest with it. The more I see, the more intimate I will naturally feel. Father walked on the edge of a knife to do business with me. If anything were to happen to me in the future, I would have already married out.

Mother Du knew that I was going to investigate the matter of Grandmother's poisoning, so she helped to persuade me: "Miss has always been meticulous, Old Granny, you can rest assured!"

"Then go take a seat and come back!" Grandmother took my hand.

"Don't worry!" I smiled confidently at my grandmother.

A few days ago, Aunt Chen might still have had some luck, thinking that she could use this child to make a mess. She even felt that even without this child, with her father's favor, she could still outshine him. However, after the matter of the pill, Aunt Chen clearly understood that the reason she received these preferential treatment was because she had the Yang family's flesh and blood in her womb. The most important thing for her to do was not to fight for the honor of growing up, but to successfully give birth to the child in her womb and then allow the child to grow up in peace. As long as a child managed to get married, no matter if it was a boy or girl, they would eventually remember her as their mother who stayed in the inner chamber of the Yang Mansion. Only then would her days be worth looking forward to.

She already knew about the matter regarding the Reincarnation Pill. No matter if it was me or her mother, both of them could easily make her unable to recover. The only thing she could do was desperately protect the child in her stomach. That was the most useful life-saving talisman.

At a time like this, I'm pretty sure she wasn't in the mood to hurt me.

As for Grandmother, I did not believe that she would be the one to do it. Grandmother was a barrier in front of her, after all. Although his father had wanted to stay in the side yard for the past few times, his grandmother had always rushed back to his mother's yard in the name of Aunt Chen's need for rest. But for a smart person like Aunt Chen, how could she not see that her grandmother was thinking for her safety?

Instinctively, I didn't think it was Aunt Chen's handiwork.
