My sister must marry someone else? Why are you crying when I marry the King of War?

"The Marquis is back?" Gu was a little embarrassed. She quickly stood up and forced a smile with an apologetic look on her face. "My daughter is ignorant and has caused trouble for the Marquis. Please forgive her this time because it is her first offense. I will definitely teach her a lesson and make her be careful with her words and actions in the future, abide by the code of conduct for women, and not cause trouble again, so as not to bring trouble to the reputation of the Marquis's mansion."

Lin Yulan looked at Shao Xun, and their eyes met. Both of them saw an emotion called speechlessness in each other's eyes.

Lin Yulan's depressed mood suddenly lightened up a bit.

Shao Xun raised his eyebrows: "Cause trouble? Did mother-in-law misunderstand something? Madam didn't cause me any trouble. Today, Madam was injured and wronged. I am worried that Madam was frightened. Be careful in what you say and do? Abide by women's ethics? This is nonsense. I don't know why mother-in-law would say that?"

Lin Yulan also said aggrievedly: "My Lord, I have been full of doubts just now, but I didn't dare to ask. Now that my Lord is back, I want to explain it to you in front of you. Why did mother say that to me? Please explain it to me clearly."

Shao Xun and Lin Yulan looked towards Gu at the same time.

Gu felt a little suffocated and even more angry: Who the hell is Lin Yulan? How dare she be so arrogant?

Gu: "Girl Lan, you still have the nerve to say that. If you had stayed in the mansion properly, there wouldn't have been so many problems. You should go out less in the future!"

Shao Xun understood immediately after hearing this and sneered, "My second aunt told my mother-in-law, right? Most likely the old lady too. They don't understand and have misunderstood. Mother-in-law, please don't misunderstand. As the wife of a marquis, it is natural for my wife to go out for social events. The old lady is confused, and my second aunt is even more confused. Their words don't count! Mother-in-law, please don't say anything bad about my wife. She is a good person and has done nothing wrong."

Gu opened her mouth, glanced at Lin Yulan, and secretly blamed her for not speaking up for her.

Lin Yulan: "I'm sorry that I can't entertain you. Mother, please go back first. Please tell my sister that I'm fine, so she doesn't need to worry and doesn't need to come visit. I'll invite her to get together when I'm better."

Gu gritted his teeth secretly, feeling even more aggrieved and angry.

Lin Yulan's eyes were meaningful. She mentioned Lin Yuwei not casually, but to remind Gu: Don't talk nonsense outside, otherwise, it would be inconvenient for her to deal with her stepmother. If she wanted to deal with Lin Yuwei and her husband, it would be a very simple matter.

Lin Yulan had to be on guard, otherwise Gu, as her biological mother and elder, would accuse her of being "unruly" and "causing trouble" and she would have no way to defend herself.

Just like what Old Madam Shao and Mrs. Fu did to Shao Xun, who wouldn't believe what they, as elders, say?

"I dare not trouble Madam Hou, please take care of her slowly!"

Gu said goodbye with a cold face.

Shao Xun: "Madame Qi, please see me off."

"Yes, Lord Marquis."

Outside the house, Qian Rui had boiled the medicine and brought it over. Xiao Xing saw it and hurried over to greet her, smiling shyly: "Sister Qian Rui, you have worked hard. Let me do it."

Qian Rui avoided her hand, her face as cold and expressionless as always: "Madam asked me to make medicine, I can't give this medicine to others."

Xiao Xing was stunned: "But isn't my sister too hard-working? I feel really bad that I couldn't help."

Qian Rui: "You are very good at sewing. Madam always praises you and asks you to do more sewing. Just do it."

Xiao Xing was choking to death, but she had to pretend to be humble and happy. "Sister is right. Since Madam likes it, I will make more. The weather is getting warmer, so I will make two more sets of light and sweat-absorbent underwear for Madam."

Qian Rui said nothing and went in with the medicine.

After she came, she was in charge of all of Lin Yulan's clothes. Several large wardrobes were locked, and only she and Xiao Qu had the keys.

Xiao Xing didn't know that Lin Yulan had never worn the underwear and socks she made. Qian Rui locked all these things up in a sealed box.

Qian Rui doesn’t know anything else, but she knows pharmacology and has a particularly keen sense of smell.

Shao Xun signaled Qian Rui to put the medicine away and leave. He sat on the edge of the bed and held the medicine to feed Lin Yulan.

Lin Yulan hurriedly said, "My Lord, I only suffered some minor skin injuries. This - is it unnecessary?"

Shao Xun chuckled: "Master, I know, this is for calming the nerves and calming the nerves. Use some and have a good rest and sleep well at night."

Thinking of her pale face and trembling thin body when he carried her down from the tilted carriage, Shao Xun felt guilty and soft-hearted. She only suffered superficial injuries, but she was really scared.

He didn't know what Xiaoqi had done, but her face looked even more haggard and uglier than before. He couldn't bear to look at her any longer.

Since it was for calming the nerves, Lin Yulan did not reject it. To be honest, she was worried that she would not be able to sleep tonight and would have nightmares.

Lin Yulan cooperated and took the medicine. Shao Xun was happy and said softly, "I will sleep in the partition of the ear room tonight. It will be convenient if Madam needs to call someone for help. When this matter is settled in a few days, how about I take you out of the city for a few days?"

Lin Yulan was delighted and nodded with a smile: "Then don't forget it, Master."

Shao Xun chuckled, "I can't forget it."

As the two talked, the tranquilizer Lin Yulan drank was obviously very effective. After a while, her eyes became blurry and she yawned continuously. Shao Xun helped her lie down and said, "Go to sleep. I'll ask Xiao Qu to come in and watch over you later."

Lin Yulan was somewhat unaccustomed to him being around like this. She wanted him to leave first, but she felt that he meant well and didn't want to chase him away. She wanted to wait for him to leave before going to sleep, but her eyelids kept fighting. He gently patted the quilt to coax her to sleep, and Lin Yulan could no longer hold on. She closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep in an instant.

Shao Xun sat on the edge of the bed and looked at her. He pondered for a moment, then gently tucked in the thin quilt for her, stood up and walked out briskly, telling Xiaoqu to go in and keep watch.

Madam Qi stepped forward and smiled: "My Lord, Xiao Qu is still young and immature, so it would be better if I, an old servant, stayed with Madam."

Shao Xun said coldly: "Madam Qi, please pay more attention to the affairs in this courtyard and keep a good eye on the people working under you. If anything unexpected happens, I will only ask you. Xiaoqu and the others are enough to take care of the affairs in the Madam's room."

Nanny Qi didn't dare to say anything more and retreated submissively.

The next day, Shao Xun and An Xueming did not wait for the news that the Dali Temple had opened for trial. They went there to force an explanation, but they got the news that A'mo, a servant of the Deng family, and two hooligans had committed suicide in prison out of fear of punishment.

Shao Xun and An Xueming were immediately furious.

It wasn't just them who were furious, Deng Hengchang and the Deng family were also furious.

Overnight, those three people committed suicide out of fear of punishment. Everyone would believe that it was the Deng family who did it. It was the Deng family who tried to destroy the evidence so that there would be no evidence to prove their wrongdoing!

Of course Shao Xun refused to give in and made a scene in the Dali Temple with An Xueming.

Deng Hengchang was extremely worried.
