On one hand, there are babies who don’t go out, and on the other hand, there are foreign beauties in the forbidden courtyard of the deep palace. There is no contact or opportunity for contact between them. How did Brother Zheng get infected with the epidemic? Xu Shu couldn’t figure it out.

Xu Ru shook her head, and she couldn't figure it out, "At first we thought that Brother Zheng had just returned, and was not adapted to the climate in the capital, so we didn't think about the epidemic at all. If the imperial physician had not been diagnosed, we wouldn't believe it! Although we were back with the triumphant army, we were far from the beauties contributed to the southern Xinjiang. After returning to Beijing, we had never had any contact with people from southern Xinjiang. Brother Zheng stayed in the house and didn't go anywhere, and inexplicably contracted the epidemic!"

"Who has anyone been to the Zhang family? Or did you give it to Brother Zheng?" Since Brother Zheng had never been out, the epidemic would not appear in the Zhang family for no reason.

Xu Ru shook her head again, "The Fourth Young Master is just a solemn official position, so how can I get the reward from the palace? And the reward from the palace to my father has not yet been received yet! As for the people coming, there were many people coming and going in the mansion during that period, most of them were social events on the scene. No one had ever seen Brother Zheng, and I didn't lead Brother Zheng out to meet guests... By the way!"

Xu Ru's eyes suddenly became solemn, "Seventh Sister has been here! Just a few days before Brother Zheng was infected, Qi Mei came and brought a brand new set of clothes to Brother Zheng. I kept it and didn't wear it for Brother Zheng, but there was a purse that Qi Mei personally hung on Brother Zheng. In front of Qi Mei, I didn't have the nerve to take it down! Could it be... Is there a problem with that purse?"

After thinking about it carefully, Xu Ru's face became particularly serious. During that period, besides his own things, Brother Zheng had only contacted the purse that Xu Ru gave him!

Xu Shu's face was as deep as water, "Where is that purse now?"

Xu Ru said, "Later, after the seventh sister left, I took off my purse and locked it with the clothes she gave me!" Thinking of the purse, Xu Ru couldn't sit still, "I'll let me take that box over!"

Xu Shu nodded, "Okay!"

After Xu Ru gave the order, she sneered, "I felt strange. I didn't have much affection with Qimei. Why did she suddenly get close to me? She stayed there for a long time that day!"

Xu Ting expected that she was embarrassed to take off the purse from Brother Zheng'er, so she stayed with Xu Ru and tried her best to delay time to ensure that Brother Zheng was infected with the epidemic.

Xu Ru felt puzzled again, "But the Qimei of Clothes opened it for me and then folded it up with her hands. The purse was also hung on Brother Zheng'er with her own hands. If there is really something wrong with the clothes and purse, wouldn't she be afraid that she would get infected with the epidemic?"

"Xu Ting's scheming has always been deep. It is difficult to figure out what she has done without seeing her purse and clothes!"

Xu Shu frowned, and she was already sure that Xu Ting had done this. It was impossible for Xu Ting to join forces with Gao Zhinan to stop just to plot against her in the palace. It turned out that their main purpose was to cause one to be harmed. Is it necessary to harm another one?

Xu Shu's tone was firm, and no one else had ever contacted Zheng Ge, except Xu Ting. Xu Ru also affirmed it and said hatefully, "I asked myself that I had never offended the seventh sister, but she was so cruel to my son! She came to visit that day, and I also said that she was thinking that it was from her classmates after all, and it turned out to be to harm my son!"

"I was the one who implicated Brother Zheng!" Xu Shu sighed quietly. If she had hardened her heart and dealt with Gao Zhinan earlier, things would not have reached this point.

"It's not your business to Jiumei. I must go to Qi's house to ask Qimei himself why she did this!"

"Xu Ting did this for me! It was to deal with me!"

"What? Why? Why? Why did she do this?" Xu Ru was surprised. She knew that Xu Ting was very afraid and guarded against Xu Shu in order to marry into the Qi family, and finally forced Xu Shu to send her off. But now Xu Ting has married into the Qi family as she wishes, why should she target Xu Shu?

"Xu Ting probably doesn't want to see me well. I should look at her face in a down-and-out manner. Only by relying on her charity can she be satisfied! Now that I have become the legitimate daughter of the Zheng family. With the support of the Queen, she feels that she can't compare to me, so she has to try every means to ruin everything about me..."

The jealousy made Xu Ting unable to tolerate Xu Shu in her eyes, and she couldn't bear to see Xu Shu live better than her. Moreover, after marrying into Qi's family, Xu Ting did not live the life of the young grandmother of the Duke's Mansion as she wanted. Instead, she was excluded and suppressed everywhere. The relationship between husband and wife was not harmonious. Resentment gathered little by little in her heart, and finally turned into hatred for Xu Shu: If it weren't for Xu Shu, she wouldn't have married into Qi's family, nor would she end up at this point now...

"Seventh sister is too... too..." Xu Ru was so surprised that she couldn't speak. This was really incredible, "How could she..."

"Actually, there is nothing I can't figure it out, it's just that I hate me! Just like Mrs. Xu San used to target you, Sister Four. It's obvious that doing this will not do anything for her, but as long as it is something that is not good for you, she will definitely do it!"

"So that's it!" Xu Ru smiled bitterly. She still remembered the grievances and pains she suffered for eighteen years in her boudoir. The hatred An's for her has existed since she was born. As she grew up, the hatred gradually penetrated into her bones and became more and more intense, until she wanted to get rid of her and get faster.

"She knows that I am close to you, Sister Four. If something happens to Brother Zheng, Sister Four, I will be sad. As long as I am sad, her purpose will be achieved!"

There is another thing Xu Shu didn't say, that is, Xu Ting and Gao Zhinan colluded. To be precise, Gao Zhinan should have used Xu Ting. If their plan succeeds and Zheng Ge'er has an accident, Xu Shu will be sad. Gao Zhinan will definitely reveal this to Xu Ting calmly. At that time, Xu Shu will definitely think clearly about the ins and outs of this and know that Xu Ting is targeting her. In this way, Xu Shu will fall into deep self-blame, and will feel ashamed of Xu Ru, immersed in self-blame and guilt and cannot extricate herself, just like Xu Hui's death.

Killing people to kill their hearts, Gao Zhinan is a good strategy! After a series of fatal blows, can Xu Shu's already fragile body withstand it?
