Chapter 462: House Fight Turns into Thriller 1

A young girl was slowly opening her eyes, her eyes flashing with a calmness and wisdom that did not belong to her age. She was Liu Hui, the daughter of the Marquis of Pingyang, but now she found herself back to the age of thirteen.

Liu Hui remembered clearly that her life had changed drastically that year. Her mother died suddenly of illness, and within a month, her father made her concubine's mother, Concubine Qian, his wife. From then on, she lived in dire straits in the mansion. She could never forget the vicious thoughts hidden behind her concubine's sister Liu Ruyan's seemingly innocent smile.

She sat up suddenly and looked around. The familiar room and the familiar furnishings told her that this was not a dream. She really returned to the time when she was thirteen, before the nightmare began.

"Miss, are you awake?" A crisp voice interrupted her thoughts. It was her personal maid Xiao Cui, a loyal maid who had followed her since childhood.

"Xiao Cui, what year is it now?" Liu Hui's voice trembled slightly. She was afraid that this was just a dream.

"Miss, it is the fifteenth year of Yuanhe now." Xiao Cui looked at her young lady with some confusion, not understanding why she suddenly asked this.

In the fifteenth year of Yuanhe, which was the year before her mother passed away and Concubine Qian was promoted to the position of the first wife, Liu Hui was excited. She really had the chance to change everything.

"Xiao Cui, can you help me find out how my mother is doing recently?" Liu Hui suppressed the excitement in her heart and tried to make her tone sound calm.

"Yes, Miss." Although Xiao Cui was confused, she still responded and stepped back.

After a while, Xiao Cui came back in a hurry, with a worried look on her face. "Miss, Madam seems to be in poor health recently. She keeps coughing and can't sleep well at night."

Liu Hui's heart tightened when she heard this. She knew that this was a sign that her mother's condition was getting worse. In her previous life, she was young and ignorant, so she didn't notice these subtle changes. She didn't regret it until her mother passed away. In this life, she would never let this happen again.

"Xiao Cui, go and ask Doctor Li from the mansion to come and diagnose your mother. Remember, do it quietly and don't let anyone else know." Liu Hui ordered.

"Yes, miss." Xiao Cui responded and turned to leave.

Liu Hui sat in front of the window, looking at the familiar scenery outside, with a lot of thoughts in her mind. She must find a way to cure her mother's illness as soon as possible, and at the same time beware of the conspiracy of her concubine sister Liu Ruyan.

At this moment, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, and then a girl in gorgeous clothes rushed in. It was her half-sister, Liu Ruyan.

"Sister, have you heard? Mother... " Liu Ruyan said hurriedly as soon as she entered the door, with a bit of concern on her face, but there was an imperceptible cunning flashing in her eyes.

Liu Hui looked at her coldly, sneering in her heart. In her last life, she was deceived by this seemingly innocent concubine sister, and only discovered her true face at the end. In this life, she will never be fooled again.

"Oh? What's wrong with mother?" Liu Hui asked pretending to be ignorant.

"Mother has not been in good health recently. I heard that my sister has invited Dr. Li to diagnose Mother. Is that true?" Liu Ruyan asked with concern.

"Yes, my mother's health is indeed not very good. As her daughter, I naturally have to call a doctor for her." Liu Hui said lightly, her eyes never leaving Liu Ruyan.

When Liu Ruyan heard this, a hint of panic flashed across her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure. "Sister is so filial. I am also happy for mother."

"My sister is thoughtful." Liu Hui smiled slightly, with a hint of alienation in her tone.

At this time, Xiao Cui came in with Doctor Li. Doctor Li was an old doctor in the mansion, with superb medical skills and a loyal and honest person. When he saw Liu Hui, he bowed and said, "Hello, young lady."

"Doctor Li, please examine my mother's illness as soon as possible." Liu Hui said.

Doctor Li responded and followed Xiao Cui to the lady's room. Liu Hui and Liu Ruyan were waiting in the hall.

After a while, Doctor Li came out with a serious look on his face. "Miss, Madam's condition is a bit serious and she needs to be taken care of."

"Doctor Li, please do your best to save my mother." Liu Hui said with a pleading tone.

"Don't worry, Miss. I will do my best." Doctor Li said.

After seeing off Doctor Li, Liu Hui returned to her room and thought for a while. She had to find a good medicine to cure her mother's illness as soon as possible, and at the same time, she had to find a way to stop Aunt Qian from becoming the legal wife.

At this moment, there was a noise outside the door. Liu Hui frowned, got up and walked out. She saw a servant arguing with a little maid, who was Xiaoyun, the second-class maid in her room.

"What's going on?" Liu Hui asked.

"Miss, this servant said he was from the Madam's room and came to deliver medicine." Xiaoyun said.

Liu Hui's heart tightened when she heard this. She remembered that in her previous life, her mother's condition suddenly worsened after she drank the medicine sent by Aunt Qian. In this life, she would never let such a thing happen again.

"Medicine? Let me see it." Liu Hui said.

Upon hearing this, the servant handed over the medicine bowl in his hand. Liu Hui took the medicine bowl and smelled it carefully, and indeed smelled something wrong.

"There's something wrong with this medicine, take it back!" Liu Hui said with a hint of coldness in her tone.

When the servant heard this, his face changed and he wanted to argue, but was frightened back by Liu Hui's sharp gaze.

"Miss, this..." Xiaoyun was a little at a loss when she saw this.

"It's okay. Go tell your wife that there's something wrong with the medicine and that you shouldn't drink it." Liu Hui said.

Xiaoyun responded and left in a hurry. Liu Hui returned to her room and thought for a while. She had to find a good medicine to cure her mother's illness as soon as possible, and at the same time, she had to find a way to expose Aunt Qian's conspiracy.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Liu Hui opened the door and saw a servant standing outside with an exquisite box in his hand.

"Miss, this was sent by the maid in the Madam's room. She said it's a gift from the Madam." said the servant.

Liu Hui sneered in her heart when she heard this. She remembered that in her previous life, her mother's condition suddenly worsened after she gave her this gift. In this life, she would never be fooled again.

"Give it here." Liu Hui said, taking the box from the servant.

Back in the room, Liu Hui opened the box and saw a beautiful jade hairpin inside. She picked up the hairpin and examined it carefully, and indeed found a subtle trace of poison in the dark corner of the hairpin.

"What a good trick." Liu Hui said coldly and threw the jade hairpin hard to the ground.

At this moment, footsteps were heard outside the door. Liu Hui put away the anger on her face and replaced it with a calm expression. Liu Ruyan walked in with a look of concern on her face.
