nYin Hong was still thinking when she returned back into the residence . The moment she entered the door, she was called by Lady Jin . “When you were sending Mu Yunyao out, did she say anything?”

n“Replying to Lady, she, without rhyme or reason, reminded me to take good care of you . She also said that you should not eat too much sweet foods .

nLady Jin’s face blackened . She cautiously looked at the food on the table . After a while, she spoke, “Go and get Doctor Chen . Wait, don’t get him . Get a change of clothes and wrap up some of these foods . Go to a more isolated clinic and get them to see if there is anything strange about these foods . ”

nYin Hong was flabbergasted, “Lady, do you suspect that there is something unclean in them?”

n“I can’t say for sure either . Now go . ” Lady Jin’s heart was thumping nervously . Although Mu Yunyao was young, she was very clear-headed . Since she was able to taste out the origin of the water, then she must not be wrong when she mentioned that the snack was a bit bitter . Plus, she had reminded Yin Hong to take care of her . Adding all of this up, it was clear that Mu Yunyao was trying to tell her that there was something wrong with the food .

nFrom a very young age, Lady Jin had always loved to eat sweet foods . After marrying Cao Yunnian, her own family specially sent a few chefs to cook up those sweet foods for her .

nA few days ago, the chef that was in charge of the flour and rice fell sick . She gave him some silver for him to return home and get better . The new chef was sent by her own family . At that time, her heart had warmed from their gesture, but if there really is something wrong with that food, then……

nAfter a panicky two hour period, Yin Hong arrived in a hurry . When she saw Lady Jin, she fell to her knees with a ‘thump’ . “Lady, Lady……this snack……snack……”

nLady Jin’s hands clenched . “If there is any problem, say it . ”

n“This servant had gone to many different clinics . At first, no one wanted to say the truth . Then, this servant noticed that they had very weird expressions . Thus, I gave them a huge sum of gold, resulting in one of them answering me . That doctor said that there was Chuan Ceng grass in it . The Chuan Ceng grass is a cooling grass, small amounts of it won’t pose too much of a problem . However, if one eats it for a long period of time, she will……”

n“Will what, say it!”

n“It will cool the womb, causing women to be unable to become pregnant . ” After saying that, Yin Hong immediately knelt even lower, not daring to raise her head .

nLady Jin tried to calm herself for a long time . Then, she spoke, “Get up . Do not say a word about this matter, do you understand?”

n“Yes, Lady . ”

nChuan Ceng grass, Chuan Ceng grass……

nLady Jin closed her eyes, her lips formed a bitter smile . Being unable to bear children was her life’s greatest regret . Although Cao Yunnian did not say anything about it, but he surely did mind deep in his heart . She figured that this was her fate and helped him get some concubines . She also treated these concubines well .

nBut she never would have imagined, that the fact that she was unable to birth children was because someone did not want her to!

nShe opened her eyes with force, a cold light flashed across her eyes . She clenched her fists so tightly that her fingernails were stained with blood . “If I ever find out who the person is……the person who did this to me, I will definitely not show them any mercy!”

nWhen Mu Yunyao returned back to her residence, she told her Mother specifically to keep the box in a safe place . She did not tell the disciples that she had their slave contracts . Although they all seemed like decent people, but people’s true nature will always start to leak out after an extended period of time . Just this short span of time is not enough to know their personalities, leaving some backup for herself is a good choice .

nAfter two days, Yin Hong arrived once again . When she saw Mu Yunyao, she immediately did a greeting, one where she even bent her knees . Her respectful actions shocked the ten disciples . “Miss, Lady has invited you to her residence . ”
