Chapter 190 Something happened
of course.
Ling Wenzhan kept nodding his head, feeling very excited because he saw Mu Lianzhi's eyes were red. However, before he could finish his words, a suspicious and resentful female voice came over again:
"Since you love me so much, you must know that I have had physical contact with other men in public not only this time, but also had physical transactions with other men. Do you not mind or get angry? How can you still say these words so easily?"
"Since you miss the past with me so much, why don't you stay in Wenquyuan after you come back?"
"That was the only place we had contact with after I entered the mansion. As far as I know, not only did you not live there, you had never even set foot there!"
I don't know whether he wanted to avoid suspicion or show his loyalty to her. Anyway, it is said that he has not visited Sang Xi since he came back, and he didn't even say hello to her.
As for Sang Xi, now that the weather is getting warmer, she is wearing less and less clothes. No matter how small her belly is, it will soon be impossible to hide it. Calculating the time, the baby can survive if she gives birth now.
I have to say, she is really good at picking people, and with the help of the housekeeper, no one in the Marquis' Mansion has discovered such a big thing.
"Since you care about me so much, then you must know what happened in the past three years and what the Marquis's attitude towards me is, right?"
"I won't mention the hardship and suffering I've endured as a widow for three years. Not long ago, I was forced to sacrifice my body and take my own blood to save your eldest brother and mother. I won't mention the latter, but don't you have any opinion on the former?"
"You've been cuckolded right in front of my face. You're more patient than the Ninja Turtles."
"People don't treat you as a human being, but you are so generous. Not to mention mother, you don't seem to be unfamiliar with anyone in the first house, right?"
"It is said that 'love cannot tolerate any sand in its eyes'. Are you really Ling Wenzhan?"
What I mean is that you don’t care about me at all, you are a fake!
Mu Lianzhi stopped there and did not give him time to argue or explain. She raised her foot and sped past him. Behind her, Ling Wenzhan opened his mouth, his face was green, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes.
……
In the following days, there was a commotion in the Marquis's Mansion as people prepared for the upcoming public trial.
Mu Lianzhi knew that Ling Wenzhan had asked to see her parents. She didn't know the specific purpose, but he was avoided or turned away every time. The Marquis's Mansion asked for an imperial physician for him, and several waves of strangers came and went in the mansion, some of whom even stayed overnight.
Without asking, Mu Lianzhi could guess roughly that it was most likely to testify to his itinerary or experience over the past three years.
She had no idea how things would develop in the end. All she could do was to improvise. What surprised her was that Beitang Yi did not take any action at all, and she didn't even hear any news.
As the day approached, she couldn't help feeling anxious.
That day, she walked around the room and picked up the toy ball as usual to play with it. She was in a trance and seemed to be distracted. Then a maid came to report that the old lady had sent someone to invite her to have tea and discuss birthday matters.
Knowing that this was just an excuse, Mu Lianzhi couldn't refuse.
Because her illness had been cured, and the woman in front of her was still the daughter-in-law of the Marquis's Mansion.
After some simple preparations and carrying a small decorative gourd bag, she took Leng Yun and Chunmiao with her.
Sure enough, when I entered the room, I saw Jiang and Sang Xi were both there, but Jiang was sitting on a chair in the main hall, while Sang Xi was half lying on a bamboo chair by the window behind a screen. A maid was fanning her, and there was a faint sound of coughing.
After glancing at them indifferently and greeting the old lady, Mu Lianzhi sat down next to Jiang.
The old lady was twirling her Buddhist beads, her eyelids half drooping, looking neither hot nor cold, and half dead. In the past, Mu Lianzhi might have pretended and put in some superficial effort, but now she was too lazy to even pretend.
She sat down, stroking the hem of her skirt, and her eyelids drooped again.
After a while, it was Jiang who spoke first. She said a few words to start the conversation, and the topic turned to the public trial. The general message she conveyed was that they were all from the Marquis' Mansion, so they should be of one mind and work together for the Marquis' Mansion.
After that, he talked about this and that, reminiscing about the past, expressing his feelings about the present, and then mentioned Ling Wenzhan intentionally or unintentionally, and then he started to spout off all kinds of big truths such as the Three Obediences and Four Virtues, a woman must obey her husband after marriage, and putting the overall situation first.
Jiang was talking with saliva flying everywhere, but Mu Lianzhi sipped her tea in silence, and nothing went in her ears and out her right ear.
As for Sang Xi, she knew why she was in this situation. She didn't know how she got the rash on her body and face, and coupled with the edema and bad complexion caused by her possible pregnancy, everyone thought she was seriously ill. She asked for it herself because she was afraid of being infected.
For half a day, Jiang was almost the only one performing a one-man show in the huge hall.
She talked until her mouth was dry and she stopped talking. Then she suddenly realized that Mu Lianzhi didn't even raise her eyelids. She slapped the armrest of the chair. She was so angry:
"Sister-in-law, the Three Obediences and Four Virtues are the responsibilities of women. You are at least from a scholarly family. Even if you don't care about the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion, you should at least think about the Mu family. A woman's virtue, words, appearance, and skills, shouldn't you also express your attitude?"
The hand holding the teacup paused, and Mu Lianzhi raised her eyes suddenly, and slammed the teacup on the table:
"What does the eldest sister-in-law want me to say? Although the eldest sister-in-law is the mother, my mother and my mother are still here. It's not clear whether it's true or not. What do I need to say?"
Her face darkened, and regardless of the ugly expressions of the old lady and Jiang, she continued:
"Sister-in-law, if you have never been out of the house and have little experience, go read more. Don't you know that there is a martial art called 'disguise'? Two completely different people can share a face and replace each other. What's more, the world is so big, how difficult is it to find someone who looks similar?"
"The most difficult part of disguise is height. Now I'm paralyzed and my face is ruined. Everything is different. What's your intention in forcing me to admit it so anxiously?"
"You are so virtuous and you follow the three obediences and four virtues. You might as well think more about how to take care of the aunt and the young master. If he is not real, the second house will be fine. If he is real, the second house will not need your worry."
Mu Lianzhi's words almost made Jiang fall over in anger, and the old lady's brows also darkened. Just as the two were about to get angry, hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the door:
"Madam, Madam, something bad has happened——"
The butler almost stumbled in and almost fell to the ground. He didn't care about the difference between men and women or the communication. He just stood up and said:
"Go and have a look! The eldest young master has been dismissed from his post and was carried back here. I heard that the eldest master was also implicated and was beaten with a stick and suspended from his post because he provoked the wrath of the emperor or was involved in some other incident. He has now been locked up in the Ministry of Justice. The news has spread everywhere."
