I was a housekeeper in ancient times

Upon hearing that Guanyuxuan had invited a doctor, Yu Mubao was worried all night, fearing that something might happen to Aunt Lian and that the matter of the medicine powder would be discovered.

However, she thought she had done it perfectly, and when daybreak came, she heard no movement from Guanyu Pavilion, so she thought nothing had happened.

The second wife couldn't sit still. Ding heard from Mrs. Wu that Yu Mubao had put the powdered medicine into Aunt Lian's pregnancy-preserving medicine. Even if Aunt Lian only drank a few sips, the medicine would have been effective, instead of no effect at all like now.

After waiting till dawn, I sent someone to inquire about Aunt Lian, and it turned out that she was fine and was still having her breakfast.

Upon hearing this news, Madam Lu and Mrs. Ding could no longer sit still. Madam Lu repeatedly asked Mrs. Wu, "Did she really put the drug into the pregnancy-preserving medicine? Was there any mistake?"

Mrs. Wu said, "No, she told me that herself. She's not a three-year-old anymore. How could she be wrong?"

"You didn't drink?"

"If you didn't drink, why would you ask the doctor to come?"

Madam Lu's face froze, thinking that this plan had probably failed. She had originally planned to use Yu Mubao to abort Concubine Lian's pregnancy, and let Sister-in-law Wu instigate Yu Mubao.

Yu Mubao is a confused person, and easily believes in other people's sweet words. Mrs. Wu finally coaxed Yu Mubao into tampering with the pregnancy-preserving medicine, but unfortunately nothing happened now.

"Useless thing, you can't even handle such a small thing!" She got very angry.

"Mom, did they find out?" Ding asked carefully.

"Probably not. If they had discovered it, it wouldn't be so quiet right now."

"How come it's okay?"

Mrs. Wu said, "It's okay even if they find out. This was done by their own people, and no one else can be blamed. I just had a few private words with Miss Bao. Besides, Miss Bao is not stupid enough to confess the matter."

Mrs. Ding said impatiently, "Why do you always fail? Is there really a god helping the eldest wife?"

Old Madam Lu just couldn't swallow this humiliation. She finally got Yu Mubao to take action, but he messed it up again. Could it be God's will?

In Shuangxiyuan, Lin Weiqiao and Yu Muyan found an excuse to temporarily send Yu Mubao back to the Yu family, and found a matchmaker, saying that it would be best to facilitate a marriage with the Zheng family.

The matchmaker also asked: "Madam, have you really thought it through? Isn't the second son of the Zheng family a..."

Lin Weiqiao said: "We have thought about it, and that person also saw that the Zheng family has a title, so you just have to do your best to get it done."

"That's good. As long as you agree, half of the job is done."

"What do you mean? The Zheng family won't be picky?"

No matter how bad Zheng Jia Erlang's character is, given the Zheng family's background, it is not difficult for Zheng Jia Erlang to get married, he just has to marry a woman of low status.

The matchmaker explained that the Zheng family had a good background, but the second son of the Zheng family had a bad temper and had committed crimes before. His predecessor had also died. He also had a concubine and a maid in his room, so he was useless and could not make a living.

In addition, it seems that it will be difficult for Zheng Jiaerlang to gain a foothold in the capital, and he will have to stay in Quancheng in the future. Quancheng is quite a distance away from the capital, and it is inconvenient to travel back and forth.

When it comes to marriage, the Zheng family didn't want to let Zheng Jia Erlang down, and didn't want to marry someone from a low-class family, for fear that they wouldn't be able to control Zheng Jia Erlang.

The Zheng family also pays attention to the matching of family backgrounds. Quancheng is a small place, so they don't consider it. They just want to find a lady from the capital who is worthy of Zheng's second son.

But the ladies in the capital are not stupid. Who would be stupid enough to marry someone like Zheng Jia Erlang? After all this, it has been delayed until now.

"Madam, your father is an official, and you are the wife of the Marquis of Pingrong, and you have an imperial decree. Your sister is considered to be above her station in the eyes of the Zheng family, and there is no reason not to be unwilling. The Zheng family is not very clear about Miss Bao's affairs, they only know that she was divorced. As long as your family is interested, there is no need to worry about this matter."

After sending the matchmaker away, Yu Muyan said, "I'm afraid that my elder sister will regret this marriage and blame me after she gets married."

Lin Weiqiao said: "Then let her blame herself. She almost harmed Aunt Lian and you, Madam. Madam, you can't be soft-hearted. If you don't let her suffer a little, she won't know what's good for her."

Looking at Yue Jie'er playing with Chun Qing outside the window, Yu Muyan's eyes were filled with worry. She said that Qi Motai had been in You County for some time and had not returned yet.

Lin Weiqiao comforted her, "It's easy to go to You County, but it's hard to find an unknown small village. To find my brother, we have to negotiate with the Yang family, which takes time. Master Tai will do the work, so we just have to wait. Madam, you should think about how to thank Master Tai after bringing my brother back. Master Tai has been very kind to my brother and sister, and to you, madam."

Seeing Yu Muyan lowering her head in deep thought, she further probed: "Madam, let me say something beyond the pale. Do you really intend to stay in this mansion for the rest of your life?"

Yu Muyan looked at her in surprise, "Mom, what do you mean? If I don't stay at the Bo's Mansion, what else can I do... I'm already sorry enough for not dying for my husband. If I leave the Bo's Mansion, I..."

I don't know where Yu Muyan got such a strong sense of morality. When there is a chance, she will let Yu Muyan see with her own eyes the scene of Lu Yuxuan and Xiao Qianluo being affectionate with each other! So that Yu Muyan will give up, and it would be best if she gives up completely!

She was really fed up with Yu Muyan's infatuation with Lu Yuxuan!

Inside the Zixian Gate in the capital, an inconspicuous carriage slowly drove out of the city, and the atmosphere was slightly tense.

Sitting inside were Lu Yuxuan and Xiao Qianluo, who were in disguise.

As long as you pass through this city gate, you can completely leave the capital and fly away forever.

For fear of being recognized, Lu Yuxuan took great pains to dress up and covered himself tightly.

There are several city gates in the capital, but Zixian Gate is the most remote and the only one that has been taken care of, so he can leave with peace of mind.

After the routine inspection, the guard at the city gate lifted the curtain, looked at him strangely, hesitated for a moment, then lowered the curtain and signaled to leave.

Before he could even breathe a sigh of relief, he suddenly heard a familiar voice: "General Wang, your inspection is too simple. Aren't you afraid of missing something?"

He was startled and secretly looked out the car window, and saw that the person talking outside was actually Duke Qian's son, Jiang Zhaofang.

Xiao Qianluo saw that he looked unhappy and asked quietly, "What's wrong?"

He said, "Oh no, we may not be able to get away." He couldn't understand why Jiang Zhaofang suddenly appeared in Zixianmen. Could it be that someone had informed on him?

Outside the carriage, Jiang Zhaofang and Wang Shou continued to talk. Jiang Zhaofang took out a portrait and said, "A few days ago, a thief wanted to assassinate me, but fortunately I escaped. The thief escaped by chance. I roughly remembered the thief's appearance, so I drew it. I also ask Wang Shoujiang to keep a close eye on him for me. If you find any trace of the thief, please inform me in time."
