The more critical the moment, the more Zhou Rong would not allow anyone to ruin her good deeds, even her own sister.

"Keep your voice down and don't shout."

Seeing this, the maid quickly ran over and closed the door.

When Zhou Rong approached her, Zhou Yan finally realized that Zhou Rong should be being carried on a sedan chair to the Marquis Boyuan's mansion. How could she still be in the mansion?

Since she was still in the Marquis' Mansion, who was the person who was sent to the bridal sedan? She was in the front yard just now and saw the bride leave with her own eyes.

Zhou Yan caught a glimpse of Xiang Huan lying unconscious on the ground, and suddenly felt as if she had discovered some shameful secret, and her heart instantly became panicked.

Did Zhou Rong find someone to marry in her place? That person must be Zhou Ru, right? So Xiang Huan was found out and murdered.

In an instant, Zhou Yan's mind raced. She thought to herself that since she had discovered such a big secret of Zhou Rong, she would not want to kill her to silence her like she did to Xiang Huan!

Thinking of this possibility, Zhou Yan was so scared that she couldn't help shaking and shook her head desperately at Zhou Rong.

Zhou Rong didn't know what she wanted to say, so she could only whisper, "I'll let you go, but don't yell. If this gets exposed, none of us will be in good shape."

Zhou Yan had no ability to think at this moment. She just nodded in agreement to whatever Zhou Rong said.

Seeing this, Zhou Rong slowly removed her hand from her mouth and nose.

After Zhou Yan was freed, she didn't dare to shout, but she subconsciously stepped back and put some distance between herself and Zhou Rong.

This older sister who was born to the same mother as her suddenly felt so strange, as if she was someone she had never met before.

Zhou Rong tried to go up to her and explain, but every time she took a step forward, she took a step back, and finally she simply gave up explaining.

The two sisters were in a stalemate for a moment until the maid reminded them, "Miss, what should we do now? What should we do with this girl?"

Their attention immediately returned to Xianghuan. Since Xianghuan fell to the ground, they had not checked her nose and did not know whether she was dead or alive.

Zhou Yan shrank back again and said tremblingly: "Is she...is she dead...?"

Her words instantly made Zhou Rong and her servant nervous again.

Hurting someone is one thing, but if that person dies, that is another.

Moreover, although Xianghuan was a slave, she was not a servant of their Marquis' Mansion after all. If she was accidentally beaten to death by her, it would be a troublesome matter if the Fourth House investigated in the future.

"You, go and take a look."

Zhou Rong pushed the maid and asked her to go forward and check on Xianghuan's condition.

The maid stepped forward, squatted down, and tremblingly reached out her hand to touch Xiang Huan's nose. After feeling that there was still a trace of breath, she turned back to Zhou Rong and said, "Miss, there is still breath."

After hearing this, Zhou Rong couldn't tell whether she was more relieved or worried that Xianghuan might wake up at any time and run away to cause trouble.

If Zhou Yan had not been present at this moment, she might have gone all out, but now, she could do nothing and could only think about what to do with the incense ring next.

"First, drag her into the inner room and hide her there, then clean up the house."

Xianghuan felt herself being dragged while her consciousness was hazy. During the process, the severe pain from the back of her head rubbing against the ground gradually made her consciousness more clear.

She didn't know where she was at the moment. She only knew that she was in Zhou Rong's house before she fell down.
