They've all separated, so what does it matter to me if they get poorer and poorer?

Chapter 344 Conspiracy
Unexpectedly, something really did happen!

Mu Xiang was so frightened that she covered her mouth and hurriedly shrank her head to stop herself from screaming.

Before she could praise the lady for her foresight, she hurriedly and quietly followed the two maids.

She saw the two maids escort the lady into a small room. The two women smiled and quickly left, closing the door behind them. Mu Xiang hurriedly slipped inside.

As soon as Muxiang entered, she looked around and went around the screen to see her mistress lying on the couch by the window. She hurriedly went over and shook her, "Madam! Madam! Wake up! Wake up!"

Xu Zhichun had a splitting headache and barely managed to open her eyes.

"Scent of wood."

"Madam, you're finally awake! I was terrified! Two old women were trying to assassinate you! I was so scared!"

"Don't cry, help me up."

Xu Zhichun's head was still throbbing, and he felt dizzy and weak.

Mu Xiang quickly helped her up.

Xu Zhichun had just sat up when the two of them heard the door open, staggering footsteps, and a man muttering something like "Cousin! Cousin!" as if he were half-drunk.

Mu Xiang had never seen such a despicable thing before, and she couldn't even imagine that such a despicable thing could exist in the world. So she said, "Is someone drunk and has come to the wrong place? I'll go tell him to leave."

"Wait, shh, come with me."

Xu Zhichun was so angry and anxious that she became even more dizzy. She tightly gripped Mu Xiang's arm and whispered, "Hold me tight, let's hide behind the curtain over there."

"Yes, ma'am."

Mu Xiang didn't understand why, but she obeyed.

Having been used to farm work since childhood, Mu Xiang was quite strong. She steadily supported Xu Zhichun, and the two of them hid away.

The strange man staggered around to the back of the screen, his target clearly the couch. Half-drunk, he chuckled and called out, "Cousin! Cousin!" as he pounced onto the couch without hesitation.

"Huh? Where...where is she? My cousin! My cousin!"

Xu Zhichun wanted to leave with Muxiang, but she was still dizzy and confused, in a semi-confused state. She couldn't go out now; if she did, people would immediately notice something was wrong.

There's no way to explain it.

Who knows what kind of rumors will spread?

Moreover, she clearly knew she had been tricked today. Firstly, she wasn't sure if she could leave safely in time; secondly, she wanted to find out who had harmed her.

Although she had a general idea of ​​who to choose from, she didn't want to wrongly accuse anyone before she was sure.

"Muxiang, if you hit him from behind with that vase, will it knock him unconscious?"

Mu Xiang glanced at the drunken man who was fluttering around like a moth, rambling on about looking for his "cousin," rubbed her hands together, and nodded nervously, "This servant can, can try."

"Then go, be careful."

"Yes, you mean knock him out, right?"

"Correct."

Mu Xiang grabbed the vase and slammed it hard against the back of the man's head.

Fortunately, the man was bending over and searching for his cousin on the couch, otherwise Mu Xiang, being so tall, wouldn't have been able to hit her.

The man cried out in pain, slowly turned around, stared wide-eyed at Mu Xiang, as if he didn't understand what had happened.

Mu Xiang's face turned pale. In a moment of panic, she grabbed the thin blanket and smothered it over his head, then pounced on him, burying him tightly inside. The man struggled a few times and then stopped moving. Mu Xiang quickly released him and checked his breath. "Madam, he has fainted."

Xu Zhichun, who had observed the entire scene, remained silent.

The servants under her command were all quite capable.

"Well done"

Well done. If it weren't absolutely necessary, I wouldn't do it again next time.

Xu Zhichun breathed a sigh of relief. She would rest well and leave later.

Unexpectedly, a short while later they heard a lot of talking and footsteps getting closer and closer.

Xu Zhichun was startled and, with a burst of strength, quickly helped Mu Xiang lift the unconscious man up and stuff him under the bed.

Just as they finished stuffing the people in, Qin Xiuhe led her people in through the door. She said with a smile, "The servants said that Madam Xu is resting here, which is probably true. Qin Qing, don't worry. We'll find out soon if Madam Xu is feeling unwell. If she is, we can find a doctor to take a look. It's not a big deal."

Xu Zhichun helped Mu Xiang out from behind the screen, facing Qin Xiuhe and the others. "What happened?"

Qin Xiuhe was taken aback, "You—"

How could nothing have happened?
Qin Qing, the old nanny, was overjoyed and hurriedly stepped forward to support Xu Zhichun: "This old servant has been waiting for quite a while and has not seen Madam return. I heard that Madam went to rest here and I thought that Madam was not feeling well. It's good that Madam is alright."

There were about ten people who followed. Some of them had heard that Xu Zhichun might not be feeling well and came to show their concern, while others were deliberately brought by Qin Xiuhe to watch the excitement.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Xu Zhichun was alright, and they all offered their blessings with smiles.

"We were quite alarmed to hear that Madam Xu was unwell. It's good that she's alright."

"If Madam Xu is really feeling unwell, you must call a doctor."

"Yes."

Qin Xiuhe's eyes were heavy with resentment. She wanted to turn back, but Xu Zhichun stopped her and frowned unhappily: "Is there anything else, Aunt Qin?"

Qin Xiuhe: "Was Madam Xu really resting here just now?"

"correct."

"Is there anyone else besides Madam Xu?"

Why would Aunt Qin ask that?

"It's nothing, I was just asking. Madam Xu wasn't watching the play in front of the theater, she came here to rest without saying a word, I thought something was wrong with her."

Xu Zhichun didn't fall for her trick and didn't answer as she meant. Instead, she deliberately misinterpreted the situation, saying, "I was indeed feeling a little unwell just now. It's such a nice day, and I didn't want to disturb Madam Qin, so I wanted to avoid the crowd and rest. I happened to find this place nice, so I came in and lay down for a while. I'm much better now. I was being rude. I'll have to apologize to Madam Qin when I see her later."

But that applies to Madam Qin; it's unnecessary for you.

You are not the master of the Qin family.

Qin Xiuhe cursed inwardly that young master Sun was useless and a complete idiot!
What a great opportunity!
If he takes this opportunity to get together with Xu Zhichun, things will get really interesting!
Not only will Xu Zhichun be disgraced, but her deep affection for her deceased husband and her vow never to remarry will also become a joke. Xu Zhichun will inevitably break ties with her elder brother and sister-in-law.

Then Liang Mingxuan would hate the Qin family to death and never associate with that fool Qin Ning'an again, right?
Qin Xiuhe had no reason to force her way behind the screen to check on the resting place. In addition, the others were very tactful and said that if Madam Xu was still not feeling well, she should rest some more, and they would not disturb her. Soon, most of them dispersed.

The remaining few also dragged Qin Xiuhe away.

Some people are more perceptive and have already realized that something was supposed to happen here.

Who would want to get involved?
If we don't leave now, when will we?
