Chapter 90: Plotting Against Yunzhi

“Miss, the Xu family has written to Jiangnan.” Although Yunzhi had severed ties with the Yun family, she still had people keeping an eye on their activities.

This was a precaution. The Xu family and the Yun family members had shown their true colors, and who knew when they would cause trouble. It was better to be safe than sorry.

“Okay, I know.” Yunzhi nodded, not taking the matter to heart.

Speaking of the Xu family in Jiangnan, she remembered the letter she had received a few days ago. Her uncle and his family were already on their way to the capital.

She wondered where they were now.

So, she instructed Rumei, “Have our people keep an eye out and see where my uncle and his family have reached.”

“Don’t worry, Miss, we have people watching them. We will notify you as soon as they arrive.”

“Okay!” Yunzhi nodded and waved her hand, signaling Rumei to leave.

However, Rumei stood there, not moving, and looked at her with a hesitant expression.

“What’s wrong? Is there something else?” Yunzhi looked at Rumei in confusion. She wasn’t usually like this. Moreover, she was very lenient with them, and wouldn’t say anything unless it was a matter of principle.

“Miss, it seems like that madman has also come to the capital.” Rumei said, looking at her mistress.

The madman was called Qiu Feng. He was given this nickname by the people in the martial arts world because he was too crazy in his actions.

“So what if he came? Am I afraid of him?” Yunzhi was a little speechless. In the past, she simply didn’t want to bother with him, so she always gave way to him.

But she didn’t expect that the more she gave in, the more aggressive he became. Especially, he was very good at using poison and always tried to find trouble with her. He wanted to compete with her and make her admit defeat.

However, so far, the madman had given her dozens of poisons, none of which had posed a challenge to her.

However, because she found him annoying, she usually avoided him. Of course, if he went too far, she would give him a little lesson.

“I know Miss is not afraid of him, but someone saw his followers interacting with Xu and Miss Yunzhu outside the Dark Tower.”

“Really? It seems like he wants to cure Yunzhu’s poison.”

“Yes, he went to the Yun Mansion early this morning. Should we…”

“Don’t bother with him.”

Hearing this, Rumei nodded and retreated. Since the Miss said not to bother with him, then they wouldn’t.

In the Yun Mansion, Xu quickly contacted her secret network and handed the poison to them, saying, “As long as you get this done, I will remove your family’s slave status and give you five hundred taels of silver to settle down.”

“Don’t worry, Madam, I will definitely get this done. Just wait for the good news.”

People die for wealth, birds die for food.

Forget about removing the slave status, even if they only gave him five hundred taels, he would do it. That was five hundred taels, enough for him to spend a lifetime.

“Go.” Xu waved her hand, dismissing the person.

As soon as the person left, Xu’s trusted maid was a little worried and said, “Madam, should I send someone to watch him?”

“No!” Xu shook her head. Yunzhi was very clever. If she found out, it would be bad. Not only would she not be able to poison her successfully, but she might even come to her for trouble.

Besides, that servant, after taking the poison, returned to the other courtyard. He wasn’t stupid. He knew it would be difficult to get close to Yunzhi, let alone poison her.

Therefore, he found a woman who washed clothes for Yunzhi and befriended her. Then, when the woman wasn’t paying attention, he poured the poison powder into the water used for washing clothes.
