Transmigrated As My Former Uncle's Sweetheart

Housekeeper Chen seemed to have forgotten his pain and stared blankly at her opening the money bag and taking out the shining gold inside cheerfully. “It’s gold.” She then put them in her purse as if it was the most natural thing to do.

Housekeeper Chen could only stare at her helplessly.

Lu Liangwei grinned and patted him on the shoulder as she praised, “You’re very capable indeed, Housekeeper Chen. I knew I could count on you. Keep up the good work!”

Housekeeper Chen, “…”

At this moment, he could not tell whether his body or his heart hurt more.

His precious shining gold!

Lu Tingchen glanced at his money-grubbing sister, the corners of his mouth twitching uncontrollably. Why had he never discovered that she loved money this much before?

He shook his head and stood up as well.

When everyone had left, Housekeeper Chen was finally brought back to his senses by the pain in his body.

That night, Housekeeper Chen was drowned in agony and had a good taste of what it meant to prefer death over life.

As for a certain lady who had obtained a bag of gold, she had a good night’s sleep.

The next day, Housekeeper Chen, who had been tortured by pain all night, came to wait in Lu Liangwei’s courtyard early in the morning.

Someone had already informed Lu Liangwei about it.

However, Lu Liangwei was not in a hurry to meet him. Seeing that the weather was fine, she brought out all the medicinal materials, planning to dry them in the sun for one more day before distilling the Frostbite detoxification pills.

After putting the materials out to dry leisurely, Lu Liangwei finally decided to show Housekeeper Chen mercy by meeting him.

After a night of torment, Housekeeper Chen finally understood why he was suffering from this unsuspecting disaster.

He thought that he was secretive enough, but Second Miss had already been watching him since long ago.

Therefore, when he finally met Lu Liangwei, he immediately fell onto his knees with a thud. “I was wrong, Second Miss. Please give me a chance to turn over a new leaf.”

Lu Liangwei also did not intend to beat around the bush and said straightforwardly, “I know that you serve Lu Yunshuang and even gave her my prescription yesterday.”

Housekeeper Chen was so shocked that a cold sweat broke out over his body. Sure enough, Second Miss had already known everything.

Remembering the poison that had tortured him all night, he felt a chill ooze out from his bones.

He did not expect this immature and foolish-looking Second Miss to be so vicious.

Although the Crown Princess was generous, and he would benefit greatly from working for her, he really did not want to go through the pain he had experienced last night a second time.

He hardly needed to think to make his decision.

If he were to lose his life, all the benefits in the world would be useless.

At this moment, his tongue was already covered in sores, making him grimace in pain every time he spoke. He also saw that pustules were starting to form on the soles of his feet. It would not be long before he…

Thinking of the terrible death Second Miss had said, he drooped his head lower and begged her for mercy, “I was tempted by the devil. I shouldn’t have betrayed you, Second Miss. Please give me a chance to correct my misdeeds.”

Seeing that he had given in, Lu Liangwei said unhurriedly, “Don’t worry, I’m not going to make you do dangerous things. I just want you to carry on as usual. You should still go and see Lu Yunshuang whenever you need to, but I believe you don’t need me to teach you what kind of news you should deliver to her.”

When Housekeeper Chen heard this, he nodded and replied, “I understand.”

Lu Liangwei hummed and said casually, “By the way, I brewed the poison in your body. Apart from me, no one else can cure you. Also, this poison will take effect once every half a month. You’ve already experienced how it feels like last night, so I don’t need to say anything further.”

Housekeeper Chen’s heart went cold.

Last night, he had suffered from the pain so much that he went into the city to see a physician at daybreak. However, after seeing a few of them, he still could not find anyone who could cure him.

Therefore, it seemed that Second Miss was indeed the only person who could remove this poison.
