Since he had drugged her, he could have used a heavier dose and directly killed her to save trouble. This way, it could show Mrs. Liu’s viciousness and he could be a little more quiet. He would have one less spy and also not have to bear any responsibility.

But he didn’t. Instead, he called a doctor for her in time and saved her life.

Firstly, perhaps it was because if he killed her, he knew that Mrs. Liu would definitely think of ways to stuff people in, and find it troublesome.

Secondly, he was also telling her that as long as she knew her place, she would be fine.

He didn’t want to deal with the person that Liu Shi had stuffed in, and hoped that she would see through it and be a law-abiding person.

Su Anan sighed. She didn’t expect that the rumored sickly man would be so thorough.

Cuiyan was still angry and muttered, “Guye actually doesn’t care about Miss’s life or death. It’s a good thing that Miss didn’t want to harm him before and went against Eldest Madam’s orders to let this servant deal with the medicine. But Guye didn’t show any mercy and used Miss as a raft. It’s really unfair.”

Su Anan shook her head. There was no reason to be angry. There was no fairness in being controlled by others.

Moreover, she was Mrs. Liu’s distant relative, so it was natural that Shen Juncheng did not trust her.

She advised Cuiyan.

Cuiyan also understood that they were in the lowest position and was only complaining on behalf of the Young Miss.

“Miss, if this matter is ruined, first Madam will definitely take it out on you tomorrow,” she said worriedly.

This situation was not done well, and her reputation was damaged. According to Mrs. Liu’s temper, she was afraid that Young Miss would suffer.

Su Anan shook her head. “Don’t worry. She won’t punish me.” At most, she would be scolded.

At times like this, she needed an informant even more.

The next day.

Shen Juncheng claimed to be sick and did not offer tea. Not only could Mrs. Liu not say anything, but she also had to show her magnanimity and personally visit him. After all, they still had to maintain their superficial relationship.

This time, Madam Liu showed her love to the fullest. She kept explaining that last night was really just Qinghe’s nonsense, so that Shen Juncheng would not take it to heart.

After a night had passed, Shen Juncheng’s expression naturally became calmer. He expressed that he understood and naturally believed in Aunt Liu.

Liu Shi laughed. She laughed so hard that she clenched her handkerchief. She was a sickly wolf.

Su Anan was also poisoned. Although she was awake, she was still weak and didn’t have the time to drink tea.

Liu Shi affably smiled, smiling until her face was stiff. One or two of them were so weak, they deserved to be a pair.

She cursed in her heart but put on an impeccable face. After looking at Shen Juncheng, she went to see Su Anan.

Su Anan was flattered and hurriedly dragged her sick body down to greet her.

Liu Shi’s face was full of concern and she avoided her bow. She then asked a few questions about her well-being and sent some tonics. After she had given enough face, she gave a look and nanny Li immediately dismissed the servant girls. She closed the door and personally stood guard at the door.

When there were only the two of them in the room, the smile on Mrs. Liu’s face could no longer be maintained. “What’s going on?”

Su Anan had already thought of a response. Her eyes turned red and she cried out, “Aunt, I don’t know what’s going on.”

She told her the response she had thought of. She said that she had followed orders and drugged him, and she had only drugged him a little. However, Shen Juncheng had used the excuse of coughing as an excuse and refused to drink. Her niece had wanted to put the drug in the tea, but he had been blind and accidentally knocked over the original glass.

The moment she lowered her head to pick up the cup, she saw that he had already picked up the cup and was about to clink it with her. She had no choice but to drink a glass of wine to appease him.

Su Anan sobbed and said half-heartedly, “Shen Juncheng’s plan has exposed me. Why don’t I take the opportunity to push the blame on him?”
