"Heir's wife, it is time for your medicine."
After seeing the doctor out, Zhuyue brought over a bowl of thick, dark medicine. She carefully scooped up a spoonful and offered it to Lin Zhi's lips.
Lin Zhi did not let the maid feed her. She took the bowl, pinched her nose, and downed it in a few gulps. Another maid immediately offered her a candied plum. Only after chewing the sweet treat did she feel a bit better. Now, she had the presence of mind to study Zhuyue—this was the very maid Wen Shuyue had bribed to drug the original owner of this body.
Looking at her, one truly could not tell she was the sort of wretched servant capable of betraying her master. Zhuyue had been born and raised in the Lin family household. She had accompanied the bride as part of the dowry and was later promoted by the original owner to the position of a first-rank maid. She had never been subjected to corporal punishment or verbal abuse, yet she had suddenly turned her back on her master.
