Being questioned by Mu Qingge, Lv Zhu suddenly panicked, but soon calmed down. She pretended to be in panic and knelt down.

"I'm innocent. No matter how bold I am, I don't dare to blame you."

"I really just went to get the clothes for the First Miss, but I got lost when I came back with the clothes, so I went there a little late. I didn't want to, but the Princess's Mansion is too big."

"When I finally found the guest yard, she was gone."

Nonsense.

Mu Qingge sneered in her heart. The Princess's Mansion was indeed big, but because of today's banquet, the maids and servants could be seen in the Princess's Mansion in a few steps. If she really got lost, she could be found quickly by asking a few more questions.

She did it on purpose.

Mu Qingge gritted her teeth secretly. Lv Zhu had probably been bribed by Aunt Liu and Mu Yanjing.

She could immediately refute her and drive her away with the excuse that she was incompetent.

However...

Now Aunt Liu was in charge of all the affairs in the manor. If she drove Lv Zhu away, Aunt Liu would have a reason to assign another maid to her. At that time, if the maid assigned was more difficult to deal with than Lv Zhu, the loss would outweigh the gain.

Lv Zhu now did not know that she had begun to doubt her, but she could make use of it to spread some lies to Aunt Liu and Mu Yanjing through Lv Zhu, so that they would fall into the trap.

Mu Qingge had a plan in mind, but she didn't show it on her face. "Really?"

Lv Zhu took these words as a signal for Mu Qingge to believe her words and quickly said, "Yes, I really just got lost."

"When I finally found you, I found that something had happened in the room where you rested before, Miss."

Lv Zhu looked up at Mu Qingge timidly and asked, "Miss, did something happen?"

"Is she testing me?"

Mu Qingge lowered her eyes and said indifferently, "It's nothing. At that time, I was in the house and heard that my sister's maid said that my mother was about to give birth, so I hurried back. I don't know what happened later."

"I only found out when I returned to the residence that my little sister was discovered having an affair with Wang Huanzhi."

After Mu Qingge finished speaking, she didn't care whether Lv Zhu believed her or not and said directly, "You've been tired all day. Go back to your room and prepare some water for me. I'll go back to my room to take a shower after visiting my mother."

"Yes."

In the main room, Mu Changyun had left, leaving only Shen Weilan to rest.

"Where's your brother?" Mu Qingge asked.

Shen Weilan smiled. "Fu rong took him to take a bath."

After Shen Weilan finished speaking, she patted the seat next to her. "I heard that Mu Yanjing lost her virginity to Wang Huanzhi and was caught in bed by many people?"

"Yes." Mu Qingge gritted her teeth. "If I hadn't reacted quickly, I would have lost my virginity and been caught in bed."

"What's more, if Mu Yanjing succeeded in plotting against me, I wouldn't have been able to come back in time, and I wouldn't have met the mid-wife and treated you like that..."

Shen Weilan narrowed her eyes as well. "Then I'm afraid we'll be separated by death."

Mu Qingge nodded. Shen Weilan was talking about what had happened in her previous life and she had experienced it.

"When I went to the main courtyard before, Mu Yanjing wanted to bite me. She said that she saw Wang Huanzhi and me being intimate, and then I knocked her out. That's why what happened later."

"I took out the evidence and also told him that Mother was almost killed by the mid-wife. Only then did Father reluctantly believe that what happened to Mu Yanjing was not my doing."

"However, even if Mu Yanjing made such a fool of herself, my father did not punish her. If the person who got into trouble today was me..."

Mu Qingge bit her lip and said in a slightly trembling voice, "I'm afraid daddy has a different attitude."

"Mother, I knocked out Mu Yanjing today and had a head-on conflict with Aunt Liu. It can be said that I have fallen out with them. But father is obviously on Concubine Liu's side. Mother, we can't just sit and wait."

Of course, Shen Weilan knew. "What do you want to do?"

Mu Qingge had already thought about it carefully. "Aunt Liu and Mu Yanjing are so arrogant and domineering in this mansion because of father's favor. First of all, we have to find a way to make Aunt Liu or Mu Yanjing lose favor."

"I've already thought of a way." Mu Qingge leaned over and whispered a few words to Shen Weilan.

Shen Weilan eyes lit up. "That's a good idea. I'll think of a way to arrange it."

Mu Qingge nodded and said, "It's just that this can only make them suffer for a while. We have to find a way to become stronger ourselves. Men can't be relied on. Only money and power can be relied on."

After saying that, Mu Qingge couldn't help but feel discouraged. "However, daughter has been staying under the protection of mother all these years. It seems that I doesn't know anything. Nothing..."

Shen Weilan narrowed her eyes slightly, but she was still smiling. "How come you can’t do anything? Nothing? "

"Think about it carefully. You said that you were poisoned by the scent of ecstasy before, and you have never come into contact with it before. How can you be sure that it is scent of ecstasy?"

Mu Qingge was stunned and didn't understand what her mother meant for a moment. After a long while, she said, "When I woke up, I felt weak all over and hot and dry all over. Then I smelled a fragrance in the room. I vaguely recognized several spices in the fragrance..."

Halfway through her sentence, Mu Qingge suddenly paused and quickly came to her senses. "In the book that Mother showed me before, she mentioned that one of the books used the scent of ecstasy, which mentioned the use and formula of the scent of ecstasy."

Shen Weilan smiled. "Well, do you remember the formula of the scent of ecstasy?"

"I do."

Mu Qingge vaguely noticed something, and said quickly: "Equal amounts of Cao Wu, Sichuan Wu, Drunken Immortal Peach Blossom, and Nao Sheep Flower are ground into powder, and the smoke after ignited becomes the scent of ecstasy."

"These herbs are usually used in making incense or traditional Chinese medicine. I'm sensitive to the smell and can distinguish them."

"But isn't that just something written in the script?"

Shen Weilan smiled and shook her head. "It's not written casually."

"Your maternal grandmother was born in a family of perfume-making, and she is the best at making incense. A few decades ago, the most popular leaves in the fragrance were not the leaves of flowers, plants, or trees, but the leaves of the Ye Family."

"It's just that later, because of the family turmoil and the decline of the family fortune, the Ye family also dispersed."

"But I've learned a lot about how to make perfume. However, I got married early, so your father didn't allow me to show up in public. In this back house, I seldom used incense. I only occasionally made some incense for myself."

"The books I've shown you before are actually all the books I've read when I was a child, including the recipes for making incense. They're all real."

"Furthermore, there are also many medicinal formulas that have been lost for a very long time."
