The wronged female supporting role made a comeback with a divine reply

"Chunlan, help me find out the attitude of the Minister of War's family towards the marriage with the Guangping Marquis's Mansion."

"Yes, ma'am."

Three days later, Bai Hao returned with a gloomy look on his face. "Zhao Zhao, you guessed right. The housekeeper is the maid of the second wife of Guangping Marquis. Brother Lin is the second son of the first wife, but his mother fell ill a few days ago and is recuperating on the farm. So the second wife, Brother Lin's aunt, is currently in charge. There are rumors that the Marquis's mansion will split up after the second son gets married."

Split up the family? So if Bai Zhaozhao told others that Second Master Lin had lung fever, maybe his marriage to the Shangshu family would be postponed?

Or will it be cancelled?

Could it be that someone will be replaced?

Bai Zhaozhao suddenly found his thoughts funny. Maybe he read too many novels in his previous life, so even if he changed people, he wouldn't change to the second house, right?

Generally speaking, it is normal for children to separate the family property after their parents pass away, but Marquis Guangping's old lady is still alive, so it is not time to separate the family property yet.

But there is no smoke without fire.

"So, due to unknown reasons, the Lin family decided to split up after the second young master got married, but the second branch did not want to split up and hoped to continue living under the name of the Marquisate. Therefore, they deliberately used this incident to humiliate us. As long as we tell others that the second young master is ill, the Shangshu Mansion may reconsider the marriage."

Bai Hao snorted coldly: "I really don't know if they have any brains. Even if the marriage has changed, the family still needs to be divided. What difference does it make if it's earlier or later?"

Bai Lin glared at him and said, "It's a huge difference! As long as the Second Madam is in charge of the household, the purchases and other matters of the Marquis' Mansion will have enough money. As long as the family is not divided, Second Master Lin can do many things in the name of the Marquis' Mansion."

Bai Zhaozhao sighed, "The beads on this abacus have all been pushed on my face. Let us speak what we are not comfortable saying to others."

At this time, Chunlan came into the room and said, "Miss, I have heard that the Shangshu Mansion is indeed preparing for the marriage of the eldest daughter. I heard that they have hired dozens of embroiderers to make wedding clothes. There is nothing special. The eldest daughter is still attending tea parties for noble ladies everywhere. She is not nervous at all."

Bai Zhaozhao frowned and said, "So the Shangshu Mansion is quite satisfied with this marriage?"

Bai Lin asked curiously, "Zhao Zhao, what are you suspecting by checking this?"

Bai Zhaozhao was a little embarrassed. She couldn't just say she was a conspiracy theorist and think that the second branch of the Marquis' Mansion and the Shangshu Mansion were working together to cause trouble, right?

"Nothing. I suspected before that the Shangshu Mansion didn't like this marriage."

Bai Hao didn't understand: "Sister, even if the Shangshu Mansion doesn't like this marriage, what does it have to do with us?"

Bai Lin pondered and said, "Are you suspecting that the second branch of the Marquis's Mansion is deliberately looking for trouble this time, and that the Shangshu Mansion is actually looking for a way to cancel the engagement?"

Bai Zhaozhao shrugged: "Know yourself and know your enemy. You can't tell now."

Bai Hao asked: "Then what should we do? Should we tell the Second Young Master Lin about his illness? If we tell him, it will help the Second House. If we don't tell him..."

Bai Hao didn't know what to say for a moment, his eyes were evasive and his face looked a little gloomy.

Bai Lin asked sharply, "Did many people see you carrying Second Young Master Lin back? Did many colleagues ask you how he was doing?"

Bai Zhaozhao understood: "It's okay, brother, didn't they say it's just a cold? If someone asks you, just say it's a cold.

The second branch of the Lin family just wants to take advantage of us. If they fail, they will definitely think of other ways to leak this matter.

What we need to do is to get out of their vortex. I have a special pill that I just prepared that can cure Mr. Lin's illness. You should secretly give it to him without alerting others. Do this for a month, and watch him take it every day."

Bai Hao felt a little uncomfortable when he took the medicine bottle. It was obvious that his sister was cleaning up the mess for him.

Bai Lin was very shocked: "Zhao Zhao, your medical skills are so advanced? In just one month?"

Bai Hao didn't quite understand this and asked, "Is a month fast enough?"

Bai Lin looked at his ignorant look and explained, "I know this disease. If it's not serious, you have to take good care of it for a few months. If it's serious, it can't be cured at all and it can be transmitted to others. What's more, Mr. Lin has fainted. Isn't it serious?

Zhao Zhao's intention is to cure his illness without anyone noticing. This way, even if the Second House reveals the fact that he is ill, no one will believe it, and no colleagues will question you. We just need to insist that he really has a cold."

Bai Hao really understood now: "Don't worry, sister, I will force him to take this medicine even if I force him to drink it!"

"Yes." Bai Zhaozhao nodded and added a few more words, "Brother, tell him that this medicine of mine is extremely precious. I spent tens of thousands of taels of silver to buy this hundred-year-old herb. Tell him to pay me after he recovers."

"Tens of thousands of taels! So expensive!" Bai Hao was stunned.

If he had known, he would not have carried Lin Anhe back! This one cost 10,000 taels! So sad!

Bai Zhaozhao opened his mouth but didn't say anything, but gave Bai Lin a wink. Bai Lin understood immediately and decided that it would be good for Bai Hao to remember this lesson.

Guangping Marquis Mansion.

Madam Lin II knelt in front of an old woman and cried, "Mother, what should we do? An He suddenly got sick, so we should have asked the imperial physician to come and see him quietly, but the boy from the Bai family was too nosy and carried him back home.

This was nothing. My daughter-in-law sent people to deliver a lot of things to the girl from the Bai family, and said all the nice things she could, asking them not to tell anyone about her illness. But they actually threw the things out and accused us of trying to curry favor with the Bai family. How rude of us!

"Mother, it's fine if my daughter-in-law suffers some injustice, but An He's marriage is approaching, if the Bai family tells others about this... what will happen!"

"That's enough! You're just crying and whining. You don't act like a lady of a house!" Madam Lin scolded her and then said slowly, "There hasn't been any noise outside these days. I guess the Bai family won't talk nonsense."

After a pause, she continued, "The imperial physician said that An He needs to be treated for this illness for at least half a year. How about this, I will go talk to Minister Liu later to see if we can postpone the wedding date."

Madam Lin nodded her head and said yes. She was overjoyed and asked carefully, "Then what is the reason for the postponement..."

The old lady thought about it, sighed and said, "Let's talk about it in a few days. If it really doesn't work, we can only tell the truth."

"Then...if..."

Madam Lin II wanted to say something but stopped herself, but the old lady understood what she meant. She wanted to say, what if Minister Liu asked to cancel the engagement? What else could they do?

After all, it's my own problem, so of course I should apologize and bear the consequences.
