Ying Yufu suddenly felt the heavy burden on her shoulders.

"But Fu'er, after becoming the head of the Mu family, you must be very careful about your marriage. That second prince is not a good match."

Ying Yufu said seriously, "Grandmother, I want to break off the engagement with him."

"A marriage agreement with a prince is not something that can be easily broken off."

Ying Yufu's eyes gleamed mischievously as she smiled at her grandmother. "So what? I'll make him cry and beg to break off the engagement with me."

The old lady chuckled.

Others may not know, but she does: this granddaughter is not as soft and innocent as she appears.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have felt comfortable entrusting the Mu family to her.

Although they kept talking, they kept glancing at Shangguan Tang.

"Grandmother, Mother will be alright. You go and rest. I'll stay with Mother."

"No rush, Fu'er. Your maternal grandmother is asking you, has the Marquis's mansion made any arrangements for your coming-of-age ceremony tomorrow?"

Upon hearing this, Ying Yufu's face immediately turned sour.

She remembered what the Second Prince had told her to refuse Grand Princess Huaxi's participation.

"It's alright, Fu'er. You and your mother can go back first tomorrow. Your grandmother has made arrangements," the old lady said.

Ying Yufu's eyes lit up. "Okay."

By evening, Shangguan Tang finally woke up.

She was covered in sweat, and her face was visibly no longer pale.

Shangguan Tang felt sticky all over, so she asked for water to take a bath.

During her bath, she discovered that a lot of dirt had washed off her body, and the large bucket of water quickly became murky.

We had to order another bucket.

When she came out after changing her clothes, she looked completely different.

"Mother!"

Ying Yufu's eyes lit up. Before, she looked haggard and tired, and her whole body exuded a sickly, decaying aura.

Now, however, he is radiant, with a fair complexion that is rosy, full, and glowing.

I look more than ten years younger.

Ying Yutan also noticed her mother's change. With a joyful expression, she rushed towards her mother.

Shangguan Tang felt refreshed and caught Ying Yutan steadily, lifting her up easily without feeling the weakness, difficulty breathing, or discomfort in her heart that she used to experience.

"Mother is all better," Shangguan Tang said, holding Ying Yutan in her arms.

When the old lady came out and saw her, her eyes lit up with admiration.

She didn't say anything before, but that doesn't mean she wasn't grieving.

Her perfectly healthy daughter, after eighteen years of marriage to the Marquis's family, seemed to have died even earlier than her, her mother.

Now, as she looked at Shangguan Tang, she finally regained her former elegance.

Shangguan Tang's smile was exceptionally bright. "Mother, I'm back."

Upon hearing the words "I'm back," the old lady's eyes immediately welled up with tears.

Ying Yufu blinked. Her mother was cured of the poison. The ending in her dream where her mother died of illness wouldn't happen, would it?

After dinner, the old lady asked someone to prepare water for Ying Yufu.

According to custom, on the night before coming of age, one needs to bathe and purify oneself, and change into new clothes, symbolizing washing away childhood innocence and welcoming a new stage of life.

Ying Yufu thought about her plan and felt that one bucket was not enough, so she directly ordered someone to prepare three large buckets.

The old lady looked astonished.

Ying Yufu then gave an explanation.

She needs to take the snow lotus to detoxify.

Xiao Dian reminded her that after taking Huan Ti Xue Lian (a traditional Chinese medicine), she would expel turbid substances, and advised her to prepare more water.

Previously, the old lady did not know that Ying Yufu had been given a drug that would prevent her from having children. Now that she found out, she was so angry that she trembled slightly.

He had never lost his composure like this, not even when facing enemies in business or on the battlefield.

However, when she learned that Ying Yufu had been given a drug that would prevent her from having children by her own grandmother, she was filled with unprecedented anger.

"They're worse than pigs and dogs! Luckily, Fu'er is very fortunate, otherwise she would have really gotten what she wanted!"

Shangguan Tang's eyes were also filled with hatred. "Mother, don't be angry, we will take revenge."

They tacitly refrained from disturbing Ying Yufu.

Ying Yufu returned to her room and took out the ice-blue lotus flower from the system shelf.

As soon as the lotus flower, the size of a large bowl, appeared in my hand, a refreshing and unique fragrance wafted over me.

The servants standing guard outside all twitched their noses, their faces showing expressions of ecstasy.

Shangguan Tang and the old lady, who had not gone far, also smelled the fragrance and both felt refreshed.

Ying Yufu was also stunned.

First, I was captivated by its exotic fragrance, and then my gaze was firmly held by its beauty.

It is beautiful, crystal clear and delicate. Upon closer inspection, it seems to radiate a frost-like glow, extremely soft and lively, full of vitality.

"Host, stop daydreaming and eat it! Its aroma is too tempting!" Little Eccentric reminded him.

Ying Yufu held the flower up to her eyes, parted her lips and gently took its petals into her mouth. Instantly, the soft and cool touch intoxicated her.

She couldn't bear to bite it. Suddenly, before she could react, the entire ice-blue lotus flower transformed into a silky, sweet, warm current that rushed up her throat and into her stomach.

Next comes the long period of time for the drug's effects to take hold.

Ying Yufu carefully felt the changes in her body. She didn't feel particularly uncomfortable; on the contrary, she felt more comfortable than ever before. The slightest pain was also pleasant, as if she was undergoing a transformation somewhere.

But soon, a horrifying scene unfolded.

Her body was covered in dark gray sludge, with traces of blood visible within.

A foul odor slowly spread throughout the room.

The maid waiting outside: …………

Ying Yufu: …………

After about two or three hours, all sensations in my body disappeared, replaced by an extremely abundant energy and a faint warm current flowing through my entire body.

[Alright, congratulations host on successfully detoxifying and now possessing the most perfect and healthy body. You may now cleanse yourself.] Xiao Dian's voice rang out.

Ying Yufu couldn't wait to soak in the bathtub.

She only felt refreshed after washing herself in three tubs.

Wearing the new clothes her grandmother had prepared for her, she felt incredibly refreshed.

"Little Dian, smell me, don't I smell nice?"

[Host, the system lacks the five senses and cannot smell, but it's normal to have a lingering fragrance after consuming the Cleansing Snow Lotus.]

But soon, Ying Yufu's nose was covered by a faint, unpleasant odor.

She turned her head and looked at the three large buckets of sewage behind her, especially the first one, which was simply unbearable to look at.

【Xiao Dian, what should I do? With such a bucket of water, won't the servants think I dropped it in the latrine?】

She looked distressed.

"Host, why don't you try carrying it up and dumping it yourself?" Little Madman said.

Ying Yufu: …………

[Little Dian, you're not kidding, are you?]

Ying Yufu walked over and placed one hand on the edge of the bucket, applying slight pressure.

She lifted one side of the bucket of water with ease.

Ying Yufu: …………

Her eyes widened suddenly.

The next moment, she gripped the rim of the bucket with both hands and lifted it up forcefully.

With ease, she lifted the huge bathtub, filled to the brim with dirty water.

At the same time, at the Marquis of Weiyuan's residence, Ying Hengzhi suddenly woke up from her sleep.

She had a nightmare.

She couldn't remember what she dreamed about, but she felt vaguely uncomfortable after waking up.

It felt like something was gradually slipping out of her control.

Thinking of Ying Yufu's coming-of-age ceremony arrangements tomorrow, a smile appeared on her lips, and she closed her eyes again.
