After the Hou family's mistress went crazy, she became the favorite of the entire capital.

Early the next morning, the people lived their lives as usual, but the palace and the courtiers were all panic-stricken.

The third prince's qualifications were mediocre and he was not favored, but his biological mother, Concubine Chen, had some abilities, and the Holy Emperor would express some concern for him occasionally when he thought of her.

Now that no one was alive, Concubine Chen fainted several times when she heard the bad news.Concubine Chen and more than a dozen members of her family knelt at the gate of the palace, forcing the Holy Emperor to give an explanation.

The Holy Emperor was furious and ordered a thorough investigation into the matter. The first people to be investigated were those who had been friends with the third prince in the past.

In recent times, the third prince has been acting in a high-profile manner and has won over many courtiers. As a result, most people will be implicated.

General's House.

Lin Yigang came back from the imperial court and happened to meet Lin Zhongxuan who was rushing back from Dading Mansion in front of the mansion.

"Father."

Lin Yi stopped what Lin Zhongxuan was about to say, and waited until the two of them arrived in the study room before letting him speak.

"Father, King Ding went to Liangzhou half a month ago. According to the spies' reports, King Ding has been traveling to and from Liangzhou since three years ago, and he only comes back after staying for more than a month each time."

Lin Yi's eyes became stern, "If Prince Ding is not staying in his fiefdom, why would he go to that desolate place in Liangzhou?"

Lin Zhongxuan also felt strange. "Liangzhou is barren. It is said that there was a plague two years ago that killed many people. According to official records, there are currently less than [-] people in Liangzhou. Why would Prince Ding waste his energy going to this place?"

"Do you believe those rotten government books?"

Ji Yi sneered.

"Prince Ding is not a fool. There is no need for him to do thankless things. Liangzhou must be hiding some secrets."

After a pause, he continued: "The shop where we purchased the medicinal materials is said to be under the name of the new daughter-in-law of the Marquis of Jing'an. Find someone to check it out."

Lin Zhongxuan stayed in the study for a while before leaving. Just as he was about to go to greet Zuo Jing, he heard Lin Jinan calling him in surprise: "Brother, you are back."

His eyes suddenly softened a lot, "He is reckless and has no ladylike appearance at all."

Lin Jin'an said sadly: "My brother was not in Beijing during this period, so he didn't even know that I wasn't bullying him. Now that my brother is back, I thought I would have someone to support me, but I didn't expect that my brother said that I am shameless."

Lin Zhongxuan's face darkened, "Who dares to bully you?"

"Besides Shu Yan, who else in the capital dares to offend me."

Lin Jin'an pestered him, "Brother, you don't know how arrogant she has been since she married that loser from the Jing'an Hou family. That day at the teahouse, she even insulted me in front of Bai Shuangshuang, which made me embarrassed. Now. Now Not only did she spread bad rumors about me in the circle of noble ladies in the capital, but she also didn’t take our general’s office seriously.”

Seeing Lin Zhongxuan frowning and looking gloomy, she became more confused and spoke more energetically.

Lin Zhongxuan's voice gradually became darker, losing the relaxation he felt when he first saw her.

"You tell me so much just because you want me to vent your anger?"

She looked aggrieved, and just as she was about to speak, Lin Zhongxuan interrupted her impatiently.

"You resolve your daughter's petty quarrels on your own. Jin'an, with your status, you don't need others to help you vent your anger."

After leaving these words, Lin Zhongxuan strode away, leaving only Lin Jinan standing there.

Lin Jinan was so angry that he stamped his feet.

She thought that as long as Lin Zhongxuan came back, someone would support her, but she didn't expect that he would be useless too!

Jinganhou Mansion.

He Wangzhou had a high fever twice that night, and it wasn't until He Zhengyuan returned to his home after the court.

As soon as she breathed a sigh of relief, Ah Si ran in.

"Young Madam, Mr. Marquis..."

Before she could finish her words, A Si Xi'er was already kneeling at the door.Shu Yan's heart sank when he saw He Zhengyuan striding into the room, but his face was calm and calm. He just stood in front of the bed, blocking He Zhengyuan's gaze from the person on the bed.

"How's Wangzhou doing? Still awake?"

While talking, He Zhengyuan was already walking towards this side.

Shu Yan took two steps forward and said, "I woke up a while ago, took some medicine, and fell asleep again."

He Zhengyuan frowned, "I'll go see him..."

Shu Yan refused to give in.

"Get out of the way!" "Father." Shu Yanxin said loudly, "Keep your voice down, you will wake him up."

He Zhengyuan wanted to hit the cotton with his fist, and the anger that was still high just now died down instantly.

The daughter-in-law in front of him was so similar to the Huiniang who passed away long ago in his memory. Even the words he spoke were exactly the same.

"Let me ask you, does the death of the third prince have anything to do with Wang Zhou?"

Shu Yan's heart skipped a beat.

"No."

He Zhengyuan suppressed his anger and said, "Say it again."

She straightened her body and was open-minded.

"No."

He Zhengyuan stepped forward, "Then get out of the way and I'll take a look at his injuries."

Shu Yan's eyes tightened and he didn't move away.

"Go away!"

Shu Yan still stood there, blocking the unconscious He Wangzhou behind him.

He Zhengyuan's eyes were filled with rage. As he raised his legs, a servant suddenly came to report, "Master Marquis, someone from the Nan family is here and wants to see Master Marquis."

Shu Yan's heart suffocated.

How could it come so fast!
He Zhengyuan paused, glanced sideways at the door, then glanced at Shu Yan blocking the bed, snorted coldly, and left with a puff of sleeves.

Shu Yan's tense strings instantly relaxed, and he hurriedly called Ah Si to come in and ask questions.

"I just asked you to deliver the letter last night, and it's only been two hours now. Why are people from the Nan family here?"

Before Ah Si could speak, she urged again: "Go and find out who from the Nan family is here."

After Ah Si left, Shu Yan called Xi'er to come in and dress up again, and changed into more elegant clothes.

When someone from the Nan family came, He Wangzhou was still awake. As a bride, she always wanted to recognize someone.

Within a moment, Ah Si also replied, saying that it was He Wangzhou's uncle, Nan Huai.

As soon as it was done, someone came to the front hall to send a message, asking Shu Yan to come over.

When we arrived at the front hall, not only He Zhengyuan was there, but also Mr. Liang.

Seeing her come in, Mr. Liang's smiling face suddenly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

It's not like he was beaten up, so how could he still appear here in good condition?
Shu Yan didn't look at her at all, and just walked up to the elegant-looking middle-aged man in a green shirt.

"Shu Yan has met his uncle."

She stepped forward and saluted, unable to find anything wrong.

Nan Huai's eyes fell on her and he didn't call her out in a hurry.

Shu Yan maintained his posture and let him look at him openly.

"Nice temperament."

Nan Huaixu gave him a hand, and Shu Yan politely avoided him, which was completely a humble gesture in front of the elders.

"Someone from the Nan family was supposed to come when Wangzhou got married, but something delayed him, so he came a few days late."

After saying that, Nan Huai made a gesture, and someone immediately brought a booklet over.

"I heard that Wang Zhou was drunk last night and hasn't gotten up yet. This boy has been willful since he was a child. Now he has a family. You have to take care of him. You can't let Hu come again. I heard that you spent your dowry money Donate it all to those refugees? You are a good child. Wangzhou is lucky to marry you. If your grandfather had seen you, he would have praised you like this."

After saying that, Nan Huai handed the booklet in her hand.

"This is a wedding gift from the Nan family to you. It's on the way and will arrive in two days. Also, if you are bullied in the future, come to your uncle and the Nan family will support you."

This was meant for Mr. Liang.
