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

In her previous life, after Sang Xi came back with the child, she was often stabbed in the back and given trouble.

In her memory, she was morally blackmailed by this family and had a mentality of guilt and making amends from beginning to end. She accepted being a co-wife, never competed for favors, helped raise children, worked hard and worried about this family, and just wanted to live the rest of her life in peace.

But this couple, too, did not have any gratitude, nor did they have even the slightest bit of friendliness and equality. They would use the child as an excuse every now and then, accusing her of being harsh or not attentive enough, and they were always right.

Even though the child caught a cold, she was still blamed for taking care of him all night long and falling ill herself. For this, her good mother-in-law punished her a lot, and while punishing her, she humbled herself to apologize to her, and then brainwashed her again, asking her to show the magnanimity of the eldest wife, saying that it was to calm things down, but in fact, wasn't she just trying to torture her?

But there is more or less a saint in every woman's heart, and she loves to do things that move herself.

The original owner is a living example.

It really is true that being soft-hearted is a disease and deep love is fatal. A woman's misfortune often begins with sympathy for a man, and the reason why the original owner was so miserable was because she sympathized too much with this family.

Now, she will let them all experience this feeling of being depressed, helpless, tortured but unable to escape.

Although he didn't know how Leng Yun managed to kill people so accurately without hurting innocent people, Mu Lianzhi was extremely satisfied with the result.

As soon as she saw this, the old lady noticed something was wrong and immediately asked:

"Yeah, why is he alone? I mean, he's not single, right?"

If a snake slipped in in the middle of the night and people outside didn't notice it, it would be understandable, but what about the people inside?

Why was her son the only one missing?

There is a doctor in the village. If someone had noticed it earlier, her son would not have died.

"And the snake. There are very few poisonous snakes in Yanjing, right? How did it get in? Even if it got in, shouldn't snakes be more afraid of people? Normally, they won't attack unless threatened, right? How could he be bitten by a snake when he was asleep?"

The more I thought about the old lady, the more terrifying it became.

"Madam, it's just a coincidence. Manager Wang slept alone in the study yesterday. His wife was originally with him, but they separated later, maybe because they had a quarrel or because the child was making a fuss."

"But, who could have thought of it?"

"Boss Wang might have drunk a little bit of wine and it was hot, so he didn't close the window tightly."

"As for snakes, although we don't produce them in Yanjing, we do have frequent trade with various places. Many snake catchers specialize in catching poisonous snakes, extracting toxins or selling snake skins and snake gallbladders. I heard that it's very profitable."

"If the King of Hell really wants you to die at three o'clock in the morning, he won't let you live until five o'clock."

"This Manager Wang really deserves to die. In such a big yard, dozens of people just went to his house. Hey, how could everything happen at such a coincidence?"

The man's words were so spitting that they were just right. Mu Lianzhi gave him a thumbs up in her heart. The old lady's face changed again and again, and finally she couldn't bear to look at it anymore:

"Okay, you go down."

After the formalities were over and everyone knew what they wanted to know, Mu Lianzhi found an excuse and left.

……

When Mu Lianzhi returned to her own courtyard, her mind was still full of these things. When she stepped over the threshold, Leng Yun reached out to help her, but she deliberately avoided him when his eyes narrowed.

As soon as Mu Lianzhi sat down on the couch, Leng Yun knelt down on the ground with a plop, with an attitude of admitting his fault but without saying a word.

Not knowing why, Chun Miao instinctively knelt down as well:

"Leng Yun? Miss?"

"You are very perceptive."

She hasn't started to ask questions yet.

After looking down at Leng Yun, Mu Lianzhi looked at Chunmiao on the side:

"Why did you do something to offend me?"

"Ah? No, Miss, I definitely didn't. I will never betray you even if I die."

He kept waving his hands, and his astonished eyes shuttled back and forth between the two of them. Finally, he stood up straight but didn't know whether he should get up or not:

"Miss, what did Leng Yun do? Didn't you praise her for her efficiency before?"

She couldn't think of anything bad that had happened in the courtyard these days, so Chunmiao kowtowed subconsciously and begged for mercy:

"Miss, she definitely didn't mean it. Can you give her another chance?"

From Leng Yun to their Yuxiuyuan, most of them were assigned to the same group with her.

Ever since they moved into the Marquis' Mansion, every time someone came into the Yuxiu Courtyard, no matter if they were old women or maids, there were very few who were as capable as her, who were not hungry or bullied them. She didn't talk much but often helped her with the heavy work. In her heart, Chunmiao liked her very much.

Before Mu Lianzhi expressed her opinion, Leng Yu, upon hearing the voice, knelt down directly. Finally, even Xia Xiu ran over and knelt down as well.

Looking at the four people in front of him, Mu Lianzhi actually felt quite warm in his heart.

Two of them were maids who had been with her since childhood, and the other two were also loyal and righteous.

"What's the matter? Since you are so perceptive, tell me yourself!"

"Young lady's attitude towards me suddenly changed after meeting you, my Lord... I have never done anything to let you down. Young lady should know that I have reported your situation to you privately, right?"

Although she didn't know what happened between the two people in Baimingfang's house, it was probably not pleasant, otherwise there would not be fingerprints of the adults on her neck.

"The people who come out of his hands are indeed different. Do you think I will blame you?"

After pondering for a moment, Leng Yun shook his head:

"I don't think so."

"Then why are you still kneeling? The ground is comfortable?"

Hearing this, Chunmiao and Xiaxiu both breathed a sigh of relief and subconsciously wanted to stand up, but Lengyun and Lengyu did not move, and even lowered their heads a little. The other two who were about to pull people away froze in place again, and then heard Lengyun say in a low voice:

"I think I can still gain your trust."

Mu Lianzhi smiled lightly, and her tone softened a little:

"Since I asked you two to come here, I'm not afraid of him knowing. I just want to know how much you said and what you said? Was it every detail, random or something else?"

"If one day my orders are completely contrary to his, how will you decide?"

This will affect all her plans.

For example, when getting rid of Ling Wenzhan before, she not only consulted her opinion, but also gave her full authority in the end.

Thinking of this, Mu Lianzhi's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and her eyes suddenly became stern:

"Leng Yun, did you do anything on your own when I asked you to do something last night? I heard that one of his eyes is missing, is it him? I want to hear the truth!"

If Ling Wenzhan hadn't died, no matter how much she did, as long as he returned, in this age where "husband is the most important thing", she would probably have to follow the same path as the original owner.

The Marquis's Mansion would not allow a daughter-in-law with bad morals to exist in the world.

Therefore, she would not be able to get away with the divorce whether she made a fuss or not. She only had two options: either she died or the Marquis' Mansion was destroyed.
