My Lord, your wife is spreading rumors about you again.

Chapter 61 Poisonous Mute
"As a concubine?"

Ming Boyuan sneered: "My daughter, Ming Boyuan, even if she is abandoned like a worn-out shoe in her own family, as long as she goes out, she can become the queen."

As he said this, he looked at the servant beside him and ordered, "Go, call the second young lady to come and see me."

"Yes, my lord."

However, Ming Li had already returned to the Ming family at this time, but she did not see the servant that Ming Boyuan sent to look for her. The moment she stepped into the Ming Mansion, Shan Cha and Nanny Cui were waiting for her, saying that the old lady wanted to see her.

Mingli agreed.

Renshoutang

The pitch-black Buddhist hall was like a dark abyss; there was not a single ray of light in the broad daylight.

The room was filled with the smell of rotting, damp wood, and the taste of medicine seeped into the bone marrow. Old Mrs. Ming was lying on the bed, a withered wrist sticking out from the bed curtains, and heavy breathing sounds continued to be heard.

"The old lady's condition has become worse recently, but Mrs. Meng does not allow doctors to come for consultation. I heard that the second young lady is quite knowledgeable in medicine, so I dared to ask her to come and take a look." Aunt Cui said in a crying voice.

Mingli frowned slightly. Looking for her to see the doctor?

This reason sucks.

Old Madam Ming's voice came from behind the bed curtain, extremely hoarse: "Madame Cui, please go outside and wait. I have something to say to the second girl."

"Yes."

After Nanny Cui left, Mingli gave Shancha a look, and she immediately took out a small packet of medicine powder from her sleeve and handed it to Mingli.

Mingli took two steps closer and said with a smile, "Grandma, what do you want to do? Just tell me."

"Grandma?" There was a sound of someone getting up from the bed. Old Madam Ming looked at Ming Li through the gauze curtains. "I'm not your grandmother, and you're not Ming Li. Who are you?"

Mingli didn't react much, but instead scared Shancha behind him.

The second girl's identity was discovered?! The thing she had been afraid of for so long finally happened.

The next second, Mrs. Ming changed her tone: "Forget it, I don't care whether you are polite or not. Let's get back to the point. Don't you want the dowry left by Wen? As long as you kill Meng and Ming Boyuan, I can give you all the remaining dowry."

"go on."

"Do you know that there was a hidden story behind your mother's death?"

As Old Lady Ming spoke, she placed a pillow behind her waist. She was full of confidence, as if she was sure that Ming Li would stand by her side without hesitation: "Ming Boyuan and Meng, this adulterous couple, are one of the real murderers of your mother. This couple doesn't take me, their mother, seriously at all. I want you to kill them and support Zhongyuan to become the head of the family."

After hearing this, Mingli couldn't help but sneer: "Do you know why Ming Boyuan and Meng Shi look down on you?"

Old Mrs. Ming frowned and said nothing.

"Because their eyes are on the family and the government." Ming Li's eyes were deep, and every word he said pierced the heart of Mrs. Ming: "And you, whether you entered the capital or became the mother of the prime minister, even if you were wrapped in layers of jewels and precious clothes, you still couldn't change your clumsy and short-sightedness."

These two sentences really pissed off Old Lady Ming: "Ming Li! You..." "Me what?"

Ming Li said coldly, "Do you think Ming Zhongyuan and Ming Boyuan are on the same level? Why do you think the Ming family can be the largest family in Kyoto? The only thing that can be pointed out in Ming Boyuan's life is that he has a vulgar mother like you, so he will indulge the Meng family to oppress and humiliate you, because the Meng family's maternal family can help him in his official career. But you, on the other hand, will only be trapped in the deep house, and constantly quarrel over some insignificant petty gains."

"I tell you, as soon as Ming Boyuan dies, the Ming family will be immediately attacked by political enemies. In an instant, it will fall apart and cease to exist."

Mingli pulled open the curtain. Seeing this, Old Lady Ming was terrified. She was about to scream when Mingli subdued her in two moves.

"What are you doing, you are so outrageous."

Ming Li smiled: "I was just thinking about how to get rid of Ming Zhongyuan. Grandmother is always there to help people solve their problems."

"What do you mean? You what."

Ming Li had an indifferent expression on her face. She exerted force with her hands and directly dislocated the old lady Ming's jaw, then poured all the powder in the medicine bag into her mouth. "Don't worry, it's just a mute medicine, it won't kill you."

"Do you think I asked you for the dowry because I wanted the Ming family's property? This is what my mother Wen Wan left behind. It should belong to us. As for you, who are you to threaten me with this?" Ming Li chuckled, and her eyes flashed with murderous intent and cruelty. "You are wrong. What I want is the entire Ming family!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she broke both of Old Lady Ming's arms. Because the mute drug had been poured into her stomach, Old Lady Ming couldn't even utter a single sound.

Then, Ming Li pulled out a long silver needle from her hair and quickly cut all the tendons in Old Madam Ming's hands and feet. Blood flowed all over the bed, and the person under her had already fainted.

Shancha watched everything in front of her silently. She had followed the Second Girl for so many days and was used to seeing blood.

At this time, the door was opened, and Mingqi and Liuliu walked in, sweating profusely, dragging the unconscious Madam Cui.

Mingqi wiped his sweat, handed over another jade pendant, and said, "Second sister, this is my father's jade pendant that you wanted. Is this done here? I just saw the inkstone next to my uncle, and I was looking for you to go to the ancestral hall."

"It's done." She took the handkerchief handed to her by Shan Cha and wiped the blood off her hands. She then threw the jade pendant on Old Lady Ming's couch. "Okay, I'll go now. I'll leave this to Big Brother?"

"Don't worry!" Ming Qi patted his chest and said, "Mother has already told me. As long as it's what my second sister says, I will do it!"

Mingli nodded slightly, winked at Liuliu to indicate that he should take care of the place, and she took Shancha away.

The two walked towards the inner courtyard study one after the other. Shancha pinched the hem of her skirt and after hesitating for a long time, she finally called out, "Second Miss."

"Cha," Mingli seemed to have been waiting for her to shout, "I am a heartless person. Although my sister's father, grandmother, and uncles are also my relatives. But to me, they are no different from strangers. They deserve to die if they bully my sister."

Ming Li raised his head and greeted the sunlight: "Ming Boyuan is a high-ranking official with great power and influence. Do you think my sister will also like the taste of power?"

In fact, Shen Ke’s words today moved her.

She is now using her elder sister's name. If she can become the prime minister, then in the future, whenever people hear her elder sister's name, the first thing they will think of will not be that she was forced to become a court prostitute or that she was remarried, but they will only think that her elder sister is the most powerful person in the dynasty.

Shan Cha was stunned: "Second Miss, you mean to seize the power of the Ming family?" She pursed her lips and said, "But haven't you agreed to marry Young Master Zhang? Second Miss, my daughter always says that the world is big and it's not easy to find someone you love. If you really like him, it would be a good thing to get married."

"Mutual affection?" Mingli smiled bitterly and continued to walk forward: "People like me have no sincerity, only exploitation and calculation."
