Liang Residence.

“What! Under broad daylight, someone dared to attack my granddaughter in the West Market, attempting to assassinate her!”

Having heard the full account from Liang Yi and Liu Shimei, Liang Wei almost lifted the roof with his voice, thundering like a bell.

There was a medical kit in the carriage. Liu Shimei had already bandaged the wounds of her family’s idiotic henchman on the way here. As the pitiful patient, he was now seated in the resident master’s chair.

He was the esteemed Second Prince, and he wouldn’t receive such treatment elsewhere, but in the Liang household, Liang Wei made him sit in the main seat.

Why?

Wasn’t it all because of Liu Shimei’s reputation?

Their own daughter was the future Princess Du Yu. If their own people didn’t treat King Du Yu like a Prince, wouldn’t that demean her?

“Father, let’s interrogate these people first.” Eldest Uncle Liang Yong was never home, and the Old Master was furious. The one in charge could only be Elder Aunt Madam Wang. Though her face was grim, she spoke sensibly and gently. She knew the Old Master too well; she had to use softness to conquer hardness.

Those people had been poisoned by Liu Shimei, not with the kind that killed instantly, though. Liu Shimei used various poisons for self-defense, but she didn’t favor methods that involved bloodshed, especially when she knew her assailants had been hired to kill her. In that case, she preferred keeping them alive.

“I’ll administer the antidote first.” She turned around and opened the medical kit brought in by Lu Ying, quickly preparing the antidote.

She couldn’t completely neutralize the poison, but she could make them talk.

Of course, there was also the purpose of extracting confessions!contemporary romance

Her hands deftly distributed the powdered medicine, quickly preparing the antidote. She placed it in teacups and said, “Take it and give it to them to drink. Just a sip from each cup will suffice.”

Servants then took the cups and went to administer the medicine to the four men in black.

Mu Jiangli was Liu Shimei’s savior, seated in the prominent position reserved for guests.

Ever since he entered the gates of the Liang family, he remained unusually silent, hardly uttering a word unless someone specifically mentioned him. He stayed quietly in the background, and with everyone’s attention fixed on Liu Shimei, it didn’t take long for people to forget he was even there.

Liu Shimei’s medicine quickly took effect, and the group of people began to wake up. However, their awakening did not bring peace; instead, it ushered in more agony.

It seemed like an invisible torment, far more terrifying than physical pain. Just as these individuals were slowly regaining consciousness, the main hall of the Liang residence echoed with cries of agony!

“Wife, what kind of medicine is this?” Huangfu Lingyao leaned back in his chair, his shoulders aching severely. Although his face wore a pained expression, he didn’t shout out in pain.

Liu Shimei replied, “It doesn’t have a name; I made it on a whim. But those who took the medicine will feel a pain deep in their bones, yet they won’t know where the pain is located. This agony, however, travels through their entire body’s meridians!”

Huangfu Lingyao was speechless and thought,’… My wife is truly amazing!’

With such a powerful wife, would he dare make mistakes in the future? Would he not kneel and beg for mercy every few days?

In the hall, there were at least 20 or 30 people, and the wails of the suffering individuals pierced their minds. After hearing Liu Shimei’s explanation, everyone finally understood what was happening.

Mu Jiangli also observed the scene before him, seeing Liu Shimei’s tactics, and he flashed an approving glance.

“A pain from deep within the bones? I think this might be a pain from the depths of the soul,” Liang Yi walked forward, grabbed one of them, and demanded, “Speak! Who sent you to kill my sister?”
