The stand-in didn't take it seriously for three years, and the minister was furious when they b

When asked one by one or three times, Jiang acted as if "she had done something unforgivable and shameful, and brought shame to the Marquis's Mansion", and she was just about to slam the table and nail her to the pillar of shame.

"Mu family?"

Turning around, the old lady's expression changed faster than turning the pages of a book.

"..."

Mu Lianzhi rolled her eyes countless times in her heart. She was really disgusted by this family who were both powerful and independent.

She stood up and showed her guilty expression as expected, but her next words were like a knife stabbing into the hearts of the two men:

"Mother, don't think too much. I just happened to meet Master Beitang in Baimingfang. I wanted to get close to him and ask about my brother, but I ran into him with Miss Cai Cui."

"I don't know what I said to upset him, but he almost strangled my daughter-in-law to death on the spot."

"Are there any finger marks on your neck?"

"My daughter-in-law really didn't notice."

"But don't worry, mother. My daughter-in-law carefully prepared the funeral supplies before going to Baimingfang. She went straight back home after leaving Baimingfang. She will definitely not be seen by anyone."

"The reason why my daughter-in-law wasted some time was because she wore red clothes to the funeral home, which inevitably aroused some suspicion. Fortunately, she wore red clothes today, otherwise, she might have attracted the dislike of Master Beitang, and it is hard to say whether she could come back alive."

"Hey……"

She lowered her eyes and deliberately sighed heavily, stretching her neck. The old lady and Jiang were also worried about her.

"and then?"

Now Ling Yuchi is truly the pillar of the Marquisate without a choice. The old lady is afraid, and Jiang is even more anxious:

"You're not coming back just like this, are you?"

Looking up, Mu Lianzhi pretended to be confused and puzzled:

"What does this mean, sister-in-law?"

"Weren't you just complaining about me being too ostentatious and afraid that I would get entangled with others and cause people to fantasize and bring shame to the Marquis' Mansion? Although Baimingfang is not open for business yet, there are still many people and gossips. Besides, Miss Cai Cui is right next to him. I can't do anything. Why don't I come back?"

She hadn't originally wanted to bring this up, but they were the ones who were looking for trouble!

After a few words, the two of them not only became anxious and angry, but also almost fell over with anger.

"you?"

Jiang wanted to say something else, but this time, the old lady glared at her sideways, then she slowed down her tone and looked at Mu Lianzhi:

"Zhizhi, I'm glad you're okay. I scared my mother to death just now."

Patting her chest, the old lady also performed hypocrisy to the extreme, and then tried again:

"Then you didn't hear or feel anything? For example, how was his attitude towards you? Did he mention when he would fulfill his promise?"

As long as he still has some interest in her and is willing to keep his promise, he should come out this month no matter what.

As long as people come out, it doesn’t matter what happens to them in the future.

They stared at Mu Lianzhi intently, their eyes full of desire, not even daring to breathe.

As if trying hard to recall, after a moment, Mu Lianzhi shook his head:

"I was really unlucky today. Not only did someone around him say that Baimingfang was causing trouble, but there was also someone else causing trouble. I didn't even have a chance to speak up."

"Well, from what I know about him, if he had a chance to be alone, even if it was just a shoulder-to-shoulder encounter on the street, he wouldn't be so cold-blooded and unkind."

"Mother, I dare not take the risk of approaching him privately again. It would be a minor injury if I get hurt. If I really ruin his business by accident, I'm afraid I will end up losing more than I gain and even die without a burial place."

"Well, it would be nice if there was a public opportunity that wasn't a formal setting. At least the situation would be under control and it wouldn't get any worse."

"Even if it's Lord Beitang's whereabouts, how can we easily grasp it? Not to mention meeting him by chance?"

"It's difficult~"

Originally, she wanted to use her relationship with Beitang Yi to find some loopholes and gain three months of strategic turning point space. Only after her store is open in three months will she have the opportunity to make friends with the powerful and influential, and she will have a way out.

But now someone is unwilling to even give her a name, and there will be too many variables in the future. Once her true relationship with Beitang Yi is exposed, she may not even have the chance to go out.

Before that, she had to find another way to expand her network.

In order to quickly understand and select suitable targets and make friends with them, gatherings are the best way. However, with her current status, even if the Marquis' Mansion invites her to any important events, she will not attend.

She needed this opportunity. She wanted them to take the initiative to bring her out and even help her integrate.

As she was talking, Mu Lianzhi remembered that there was the biggest "Chinese Valentine's Day" this month, so although she seemed to be speaking from inspiration, she was actually brainwashing, hinting and guiding the two of them.

They remained silent, and the old lady and Jiang's expressions became visibly solemn.

Just then, Nanny Li led a middle-aged man in his thirties in.

"Madam, Old Song is back."

Suddenly she stood up and flew into a rage:

"You are blind~"

They had no idea what was going on, and with a "thump" they both knelt on the ground:

"Please spare my life, old lady."

Old Song was the one arranged by the eldest lady to go to the manor to investigate the circumstances of Ling Wenzhan's death. Before that, the old lady and Jiang had been waiting for news. The order received by Nanny Li was to bring the person in directly when he returned. She did not understand the details and twists and turns, so when she saw that there were no outsiders, she brought the person in directly.

The old lady had not expected that she would come at the most inappropriate time. She was so angry for a moment, but then she came to her senses:

Nanny Li is not Nanny Kang!

"Mother, this is..."

As soon as Mu Lianzhi spoke, the old lady knew that she could no longer hide this matter from her. She was very angry, but she could only raise her hand:

"Oh, the servant in the mansion was asked to go to the farm to help and check the situation. He was quite quick, but he was tactless and impatient without any rules."

After giving the man a wink, Jiang asked:

"What happened? Where did the man get bit by the snake? No one in the yard knew about it or tried to save him in time? How could he be dead?"

"To answer the old lady and the lady, the incident should have happened in the late night when everyone was fast asleep. They said they didn't hear any noise in the room. They found him lying on the couch in the morning, cold. It is said that a snake was hovering over his head and bit off one of his eyes."

Thinking of the horrific appearance of the corpse, the man couldn't help but shudder:

"The doctor said that the snake was a type of pit viper, except that its head was flatter and it was more poisonous than the common ones. A bite from it could cause a person to go into a coma. If no one tried to save the person within a few minutes, the person would die. No one expected that..."

Covering her lips, the old lady was so sad that she wanted to cry again.

Her miserable son!

How could I be so unlucky as to suffer such a misfortune?

"Oh my, how miserable~"

Also pretending to be scared and covering her lips with a handkerchief, Mu Lianzhi sighed and took another drastic measure:

"Did he only bite her? Yes, if there was a woman lying next to him, she wouldn't have died without anyone knowing and her body wouldn't have been intact. It's really fate and destiny."
