Seeing her weak appearance, Zhou Qingyan's tone softened: "I'm fine. Now that you're pregnant, don't run around."

After a while of sweet nothings, Yao Lingyan turned to Yao Feiran.

"Sister, you are a concubine in the Marquis's mansion, so it's best not to speak with men outside the family, lest there be any misunderstandings."

"Then keep a close eye on your man and don't let him get close."

Xi'er glared at the two of them, displeased. "Your man was the one who came over first, and you're trying to turn the tables on him? Shameless!"

Seeing the two people opposite her drained of all color, Yao Feiran couldn't help but smile, and then she slammed the window shut.

She suppressed her smile.

It turns out that Yao Lingyan indirectly caused Yao Feiran's death. No wonder she was so familiar with the affairs of the Marquis's mansion. She was probably also reborn. The two of them had extraordinary luck, but Yao Lingyan's luck didn't seem to be as good as Chen Yugao's.

Regardless, having inherited the original body, she has always been one to settle scores and seek revenge.

Yao Lingyan has tried to harm the original owner of this body time and time again, and Yao Feiran will definitely not let her get away with it.

.......

After everyone in the Marquis's mansion returned home, Lu Xingzhang took sick leave and stayed at the mansion, acting like a cannonball.

As Yao Feiran prepared to meet Lin Ruowan, Xi'er nervously said, "You can't dress too brightly, or you might offend the Marquis."

"I'll take that pale yellow one."

Recently, Aunt Zhao was seen by Lu Xingzhang because she was dressed in bright colors. He kicked her hard, gave her a severe scolding, and even confined her to her quarters and deducted her monthly salary.

Aunt Zhao was originally in poor health and almost lost half her life.

Lu Xingzhang rarely strolled around the Marquis's residence because of Song Qingci's death, and he didn't know why Aunt Zhao happened to be wearing bright colors and happened to run into Lu Xingzhang.

Regardless of whether anyone was behind it, Aunt Zhao was indeed not very bright. Even Lin Ruowan temporarily avoided her, yet she still looked happy.

Yao Feiran quickly went to Lin Ruowan's residence.

Lin Ruowan knew Yao Feiran wouldn't come without a reason, so she sat up straight and asked, "Madam Yao, what's wrong?"

"When Concubine Song passed away, Concubine Chen told me some things. She must have obtained evidence that Madam caused Concubine Song's difficult childbirth. Madam, remember to clean up the mess."

Lin Ruowan's body trembled, her eyes turning serious.

There are no secrets in the world. Previously, the Song family was protected by Lu Xingzhang so well that the supplements were inspected before being sent in. However, a lot of the supplements were added to promote fetal growth, so that no one could see any wrongdoing.

If Lu Xingzhang were to investigate, he would surely uncover some clues.

"I see."

"Also, Madam, I have studied fortune telling. Aunt Chen has a very good fate. If you want to harm Aunt Chen, don't be too hasty, or it will backfire."

After saying all that, Yao Feiran swaggered away.

Lin Ruowan was used to Yao Feiran's carefree attitude, and that she dared to say anything to her, which made her feel much more at ease.

"Ms. Chen is indeed quite capable. I heard that her grandfather used to be a royal physician in the palace, so she probably figured something out."

Yunxiang asked curiously, "Why did Aunt Chen say these things to Aunt Yao?"

"They just want to use the Yao family to deal with me. If they succeed, it will be a pleasant surprise; if they fail, they won't suffer any loss."

Lin Ruowan's expression was half-smile: "She thought that Yao would want to get rid of me for the sake of the heir, but little did she know that Yao didn't care at all. She speaks and acts straightforwardly. Now that her son is the heir, she doesn't like the Marquis. Getting rid of me won't allow her to take over. She might as well live a leisurely life."

"I see. Aunt Yao seems to be much better than before."

"He's probably given up."

She was the same.

When Lin Ruowan married into the Marquis's mansion, she was completely in love with Lu Xingzhang. Later, he repeatedly scolded and punished her for Song Qingci's sake, and even slapped her. After that, she gave up on him.

She couldn't leave the Marquis's mansion. Her family was already weaker than the Marquis's. For a woman to divorce, the man had to be at fault. The Marquis's mansion would never admit to that fault, so the only option was to divorce her. But what would a divorced woman do? It would also affect the marriage prospects of other girls in the Lin family.

After Yao Feiran returned to the manor, she did not see Lu Xingzhang for a month. It was only after the old lady scolded her and Lu Anning accompanied her that Lu Xingzhang finally came out.

As for the third young master, Lu Xingzhang did not give him to Lin Ruowan, but instead raised him in the neighboring courtyard of his own.

Yao Feiran kept a close eye on Lu Zhao and Lin Ruowan, fearing that they would be killed off by the plot again.

Lin Ruowan excused herself from the daily greetings, except for some important holidays. In a few days, it would be the Spring Festival. This time, Lin Ruowan summoned everyone to arrange matters in the mansion.

Yao Feiran noticed that her face was somewhat pale, which was actually a sign of an early death.

After arranging everything, Lin Ruowan smiled and said, "There is another piece of good news today: Sister Chen is pregnant. From now on, her living expenses will increase, and everyone will need to work hard to ensure the continuation of the Marquis's family line."

The crowd gave varying answers, but they all responded in unison.

"Yes."

After everyone left, Lin Ruowan noticed that Yao Feiran was still there.

"Madam Yao, what is it you need?" She glanced at Yao Feiran and said to the servants, "All of you, leave."

Once only the two of them were left in the room, Yao Feiran stepped forward.

"Madam, let me take your pulse."

"it is good."

Lin Ruowan did not hesitate at all. Yao Feiran had a certain skill in spotting the arsenic in the tonic at a glance.

Yao Feiran took Lin Ruowan's pulse for a while, then asked her to open her mouth, her expression becoming increasingly serious.

Have you not had your pulse checked recently?

"The doctor didn't say anything."

"This is a sign that you have been poisoned."

"What?"

Lin Ruowan quickly stood up, her expression constantly changing, before slowly sitting back down.

Have you been feeling sleepy, have a poor appetite, or experience nighttime seizures lately?

"Yes, the doctor said it's because of too much stress."

"Madam, are you under any pressure?"

Lin Ruowan said with a bitter face, "Zhiyuan's face can't be healed, and his legs can't be healed either. He's always being ridiculed at school."

Yao Feiran thought it made sense. His appearance made him easy to be ridiculed, and coupled with his leg problems, especially since he was originally a normal person, Lin Ruowan felt even more guilty.

"Madam, think carefully about who is trying to harm you. Also, that doctor is suspicious. If you don't get treatment, you won't be able to escape this calamity."

Lin Ruowan's eyes were vacant. After an unknown amount of time, tears streamed down her face. She said in a hoarse voice, "Who else could it be? Who else in this mansion would dare to do such a dirty trick on me?"

The old lady no longer manages affairs much. Lin Ruowan has been in charge of the household for many years and has absolute control over the Marquis's mansion. Only one person has such ability.

Yao Feiran had guessed as much, and a look of annoyance appeared on her face: "If he continues like this, we might as well strike first."

Yao Feiran realized that since Chen Yu arrived, Lu Zhao and Lin Ruowan had been facing one death after another, and she estimated that there would be more in the future.

Some protagonists are born winners; all the obstacles in their path are killed by plot devices.

"What...what did you say?"

Lin Ruowan was so startled that she dropped the teacup in her hand.
