It was obviously impossible, so Xiao Tao's little plan was destined to fail.

Regardless of her plans, Li Shu had no intention of letting her have her way.

Li Shu didn't pay attention to her expression but took a few steps, sat down at the table, poured himself a cup of tea, and calmly asked, "Tell me, where did you go wrong?"

"N-No, this servant..." Xiao Tao hesitated, unable to guess how much Li Shu knew about her actions and, therefore, couldn't specify what she did wrong.

"You don't know? Or are you considering what you can say and what you can't?" Li Shu deliberately paused. Seeing Xiao Tao's increasingly unpleasant expression, he put down the tea cup heavily, "Things haven't been exposed, so you can't fall into the trap willingly, hmm?"

"This servant doesn't dare!"

It's over, the Eldest Young Master knew everything she did! Why? She did it so discreetly, how did the Eldest Young Master find out?

"Speak." Li Shu glanced at Xiao Tao and asked calmly.

Facing those eyes devoid of any emotion, Xiao Tao couldn't summon any resistance. She confessed her actions.

Two years ago, Xiao Tao was bribed by Concubine Luo and started working for her. During these two years, Xiao Tao had passed on a lot of information to the outside. Initially, Xiao Tao was timid and didn't dare to do anything too out of line. However, as time passed without being discovered, her courage grew, and her actions became more audacious. It all escalated to the point where she tampered with Li Shu's medicine and the subsequent frame up on Li Yang.

Xiao Tao was careful with her actions, and in the original plot, she did succeed. Concubine Luo securely sat on the throne and became the biggest winner in this matter.

After confessing her actions, Li Shu still didn't react, but 1314 couldn't sit still.

[Isn't this Xiao Tao too much?] Knowing that Xiao Tao was behind everything, 1314 was very angry. Such behavior of betraying the master was utterly shameful. Moreover, Xiao Tao's life was saved by the original owner; if not for him, she would have died in that cold winter.

Compared to 1314, Li Shu was much calmer. People could do anything for their own interests, and he had learned that a long time ago.

He didn't ask for the reason behind Xiao Tao's actions. Regardless of the reasons, the fact remained that the original owner died because of her, and as for the true culprit, Concubine Luo, he would handle that.

On the way back, only Qinghe remained by Li Shu's side.

Before getting on the carriage, Li Shu sensed something. He turned around and met the resentful gaze of Concubine Zhao, who didn't have time to retract her eyes. It was undoubtedly because of Li Yang's matter. Li Yang didn't return with them but was directly sent to the estate. He wouldn't be back in a short time.

Li Shu turned indifferently and stepped onto the carriage.

When the enemy comes, we block; when the water comes, we cover the soil. He was never afraid of trouble.

The days of the spring examination were approaching. Li Shu prepared for the imperial examination while sorting out the world's plot. Fortunately, he had experienced similar situations in his original world and had the system's help, so preparing for the exam was not difficult.

Perhaps it was ordered by the Left Prime Minister, no one disturbed Li Shu during this period. Even Concubine Zhao, whom Li Shu thought might come to cause trouble, hadn't shown up. According to Qinghe, Concubine Zhao moved into the temple to atone for Li Yang's sins.
