Transmigration: Becoming the Wicked Stepmother of Four Children

Chapter 118 I feel something strange in my body again.

at this time,

A horse-drawn carriage was parked at the entrance.

When Little S came down and explained the reason,

Lu Qingqing then realized that

The old lady sent someone to pick her up.

The oxcart that Lin Yunlan had just led,

He put it back immediately.

Then I explained it to my second brother.

Ask my second brother to help take the children to school.

He picked up the gifts and got into the carriage with Lu Qingqing.

Inside the carriage,

Lu Qingqing and Lin Yunlan sat facing each other.

The atmosphere was subtly awkward.

Lin Yunlan cleared his throat.

Breaking the silence, he said:

"Qingqing,

Unexpectedly, the old lady even sent a carriage to pick me up.

Lu Qingqing nodded gently:

"Yes, I was a little surprised too."

The two fell into a brief silence again.

Lin Yunlan secretly sized up Lu Qingqing.

She lowered her eyes slightly, seemingly lost in thought.

After a while, Lu Qingqing seemed to remember something.

He opened his mouth and asked:

"Yunlan, what do you think about the old lady's invitation?"

Could there be other motives?

Lin Yunlan pondered for a moment:

"I can't figure it out either, but I'll find out when I get there."

The carriage sped along the road.

They soon arrived at the Li residence.

Lu Qingqing and Lin Yunlan got off the carriage.

Led by a servant, they entered the mansion.

The servant who was leading the way led them through a series of archways.

That's how we arrived at the garden where the flower viewing party was being held.

The garden was filled with the fragrance of flowers.

The guests were dressed in fine clothes.

They gathered in small groups, chatting and laughing.

Lin Yunlan looked into the distance,

The garden seemed to be full of women.

He said to Lu Qingqing:

"Qingqing, I'll wait outside. Call me if you need anything."

Lu Qingqing nodded gently:

"Alright, Yunlan, then be careful."

Lin Yunlan smiled and agreed, then turned and left the garden.

Lu Qingqing followed and walked forward.

Her appearance attracted the attention of many people.

Her pale yellow dress swayed gently with her steps.

Like a beautiful flower in full bloom, it's impossible to look away.

When the old lady saw Lu Qingqing coming over...

He immediately smiled and waved, calling out affectionately:

"Qingqing, come over here quickly."

Lu Qingqing quickened her pace and walked to the old lady's side.

He bowed slightly in greeting.

"Old lady."

The old lady took her hand and patted it gently:

"Come, child, sit here."

The ladies and young women around them, seeing this scene,

She secretly wondered why Lu Qingqing and the old lady had such an intimate relationship.

After Lu Qingqing sat down, she asked considerately:

"Madam, how have you been lately?"

The old lady replied with a smile:

"With you thinking of me, I'm doing just fine."

At this moment, a noblewoman standing nearby spoke up:

"Madam,"

This girl looks really clever and well-behaved.

The old lady nodded with a smile:

"Of course, Qingqing, my child."

I like it from the bottom of my heart.

"Madam, who is this young lady?"

The old lady, all smiles, generously introduced the items to everyone:

"This is Miss Lu Qingqing."

Last time I suddenly fell ill.

Thanks to Qingqing's help,

That's how I survived.

Upon hearing this,

The look in his eyes towards Lu Qingqing now held more respect and admiration.

A richly dressed lady said:

"So it's Miss Lu. She's beautiful inside and out."

Lu Qingqing bowed humbly:

"Ladies, you flatter me."

It was just a small favor for me.

Another lady smiled and chimed in:

"Miss Lu is too modest."

To receive such praise from the old lady,

There must be something extraordinary about it.

Lu Qingqing responded with a smile:

"Thank you for your kind words, Miss."

at this time,

A maid whispered a few words in the old lady's ear.

The old lady said apologetically to everyone:

"Everyone, please continue eating and chatting. I'll be right back."

Everyone responded in unison:

"Please make yourself at home, Madam."

The old lady patted Lu Qingqing's hand.

He then got up and left with the maid.

After the old lady left

The atmosphere at the scene underwent a subtle change.

The young ladies huddled together and whispered among themselves.

She would occasionally cast strange glances at Lu Qingqing.

At this time,

A young lady dressed in a brightly colored brocade dress walked over.

She is the old lady's niece, Qu Wan'er.

Qu Wan'er looked Lu Qingqing up and down.

His eyes were full of disdain as he said in a sarcastic tone:

"Hmph, so you're the one who saved my aunt?"

I don't know what underhanded methods they used.

Lu Qingqing frowned slightly.

He responded neither humbly nor arrogantly:

"Miss, you are mistaken."

Saving people was simply a matter of instinct.

Where does the talk of "methods" come from?

Qu Wan'er snorted coldly:

Stop pretending here.

Who knows if you have ulterior motives?

A surge of anger welled up in Lu Qingqing's heart.

But she still forced herself not to lose face for the old lady:

"Miss, please don't make baseless accusations."

I, Lu Qingqing, have always acted uprightly and sat properly.

Qu Wan'er took a step closer, her tone aggressive:

"You wild girl who appeared out of nowhere,"

"Does he even deserve to sit at the same table as us?"

People around began to whisper.

Some people looked sympathetic.

Some people, on the other hand, looked on as if they were watching a good show.

Lu Qingqing took a deep breath, straightened her back, and said:

"I came at the invitation of the old lady."

"Miss, aren't you afraid of the old lady's wrath for being so rude?"

Qu Wan'er was speechless for a moment.

His face looked even worse:

"You...you can't use my aunt to intimidate me!"

Just when the situation was deadlocked,

The old lady's personal maid rushed over.

He shouted:

"Miss Wan'er, you must not be rude."

The old lady gave the instructions.

We must treat Miss Lu well.

Qu Wan'er glared fiercely at Lu Qingqing.

He turned and left.

The maidservant said to Lu Qingqing:

Miss Lu,

I am Xiao Tao'er, the maidservant of the old lady.

The old lady asked me to invite you over.

Although Lu Qingqing had some doubts,

But he still nodded and said:

"Thank you for leading the way, Miss Peach."

Little Peach bowed slightly and turned to lead the way.

Lu Qingqing followed behind her, through the winding corridors.

Passing by several exquisite courtyards,

We finally arrived at the old lady's room.

Little Peach gently knocked on the door and said:

"Madam, Miss Lu has arrived."

The old lady's voice came from inside:

"Please come in quickly."

Xiao Tao'er pushed open the door.

Lu Qingqing saw the old lady lying on the soft couch.

He looked exhausted.

Lu Qingqing quickly stepped forward and said softly:

"Madam, what's wrong?"

The old lady asked Lu Qingqing to sit down.

Only then did he explain to Lu Qingqing the reason for inviting her over.

"Qingqing, after being poisoned last time..."

You reminded Xiuming to be careful of the people around him.

There has been no progress for some time now.

There is no physical discomfort.

Until recently, I've been feeling something strange about my body again.

The old lady frowned, her expression grave.

Lu Qingqing looked concerned and asked anxiously:

"Madam, what exactly is the unusual situation?"

The old lady sighed and said:

I always feel dizzy and weak.

My chest also feels tight from time to time.

The symptoms are somewhat similar to those before the last poisoning.

Lu Qingqing frowned.

He said with concern:

"Madam, this is no small matter."

Have there been any changes in your diet or daily routine recently?

Or have you come into contact with any unfamiliar people or things?

The old lady pondered for a moment and slowly said:

"My diet and daily routine are no different from usual."

Just a few days ago,

My niece sent over some nourishing bird's nest.

After I ate it,

The symptoms of this discomfort became increasingly pronounced.

When Lu Qingqing heard the old lady say this,

He immediately comforted her:

"Madam, please don't worry."

Let me check it for you right away.

She first carefully took the old lady's pulse.

His expression grew increasingly solemn.

Then, she lifted the old lady's eyelids to examine her.

Then he asked the old lady to open her mouth so he could check her tongue coating.

After a thorough examination,

Lu Qingqing frowned even more deeply.

The old lady asked nervously:

"Qingqing, how are you?"

Lu Qingqing pondered for a moment and said:

"Madam, judging from your pulse and symptoms..."

There is something fishy about this.

However, the specific reason cannot be determined yet.

I need to find out more.

Besides eating bird's nest lately, have you been doing that?

Are there any other medications you are taking?

The old lady shook her head:

"It's over."

Lu Qingqing asked again:

Among the people you've come into contact with...

Has anyone behaved unusually?

The old lady pondered for a moment and said:

"If we're talking about something unusual, there is indeed one."

My personal maid, Xiao Cui

I've been feeling very distracted these past few days.

Lu Qingqing's heart skipped a beat.

He pondered the connection between them.
