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

She thought of countless possibilities, even the possibility that the emperor had issued an imperial decree of amnesty, but the only thing she had never thought of was that all this was done for no reason and by Beitang Yi.

From what Ling Yuchi said, it was obvious that he had been back for more than just one or two days.

He had enough time to communicate with Ling Yuchi, but he never thought of informing himself in advance.

Haha~

For the first time, Mu Lianzhi felt a chill as if someone had stabbed her in the back. It was also the first time that she experienced the despair and helplessness that the original owner had felt before her death, when she was deceived, hurt, and deceived by the person she trusted the most.

She wished she had never believed him.

The sharp nails pierced into her palms, and Mu Lianzhi's hands were shaking under her sleeves, but she dared not show anything on her face.

"Did Lord Beitang let you out?"

Hearing this, the old lady was also a little confused. She glanced at Mu Lianzhi and Jiang on the side unconsciously. She understood almost immediately, and Jiang took over the conversation:

"Did he say anything else? Or suggest anything?"

These days, they have been in frequent contact with the Duke of Fuguo's Mansion because of his imprisonment. They originally wanted to use this matter to see the attitude of the Prince's Mansion. Today, when Ling Shaocong was not here, they actually went to inquire about this.

But they did not mention this to Mu Lianzhi.

On the one hand, she felt it was unnecessary, and on the other hand, of course, because of her previous prejudice, she was afraid that she would ruin her daughter's good marriage.

Now, he was released without any warning, and it was Beitang Yi who did it personally. Was it Mu Lianzhi's credit or was it because of the Fuguogong Mansion?

These two things are of completely different nature and also affect their subsequent decisions.

After the old marquis passed away unexpectedly three years ago, the old lady made decisions on many matters inside and outside the mansion, especially those concerning the rear quarters. Ling Yuchi actually knew nothing about many operations.

Because from top to bottom in the entire Marquis' Mansion, his mind is indeed too simple.

He is also very self-aware and is not curious or asks too many questions. A tacit understanding has been formed in the mansion.

Therefore, when the Marquis' Mansion encountered a major setback three years ago, they decided on the plan without them being present; within three years, even if Ling Wenzhan was not in the mansion, they would seek his opinions on important decisions. The Marquis' Mansion has never been shy about involving the first wife, but Ling Shaochong has always been the one with high hopes, and their attitude towards Ling Yuchi's entire family is consistent - they are not so frank.

Therefore, when asked about this, Jiang couldn't help but be a little vague.

Although Ling Yuchi's brain was not that complicated, he was not stupid. He had always known about the matter between Mu Lianzhi and Beitang Yi. Besides, it was not the first time in three years. He did not think much about it and simply shook his head:

"Nothing else. He just said I couldn't come out in one piece."

"Anyway, it's a self-torture tactic. I understand it even without you telling me. How can this matter be easily let go without doing something to show others? Who made my son suffer this misfortune? This time it's really an unprovoked disaster."

"I don't know who reported it behind my back."

"The emperor clearly said that he wanted to import a few more breeds of horses for comparison, and I thought I could do something great by the way, killing two birds with one stone. Who could have thought that there would be a mistake before I even took any action~"

"If I find out who didn't tie up the horse and let it run away, I'll beat him to death."

"Mom, please believe me. I'm not doing this for the money. The mixed breed horse is just as good as the purebred one. I've seen one run very fast in the mountains before..."

Then, for a long time, Ling Yuchi kept explaining the matter about the horse. He sounded passionate and obviously excited. In the end, Mu Lianzhi was forcibly brought back to her senses and noticed the helplessness on the faces of the old lady and Jiang.

Fragrant from far away and smelly from near!

No wonder Ling Yuchi has the least presence in this family. He really doesn't grasp the main point.

However, the more such a person is, the more credible his words are.

I just don't know who Beitang Yi was punishing with this torture for?

Mu Lianzhi lowered her eyes to hide the mockery and hatred that flashed across her eyes. At this moment, the announcement of the doctor's arrival came from outside the door.

Doctor Wang came in carrying a medicine box, and Ling Yuchi was helped to the inner room. Mu Lianzhi had no choice but to sit there for another two incense sticks of time, waiting for Doctor Wang to come out again.

"Doctor, how is the boss's injury?"

"Don't worry, old lady. It's just a superficial wound. It looks serious but it's not deep. Maybe the board of the Ministry of Justice has been modified or there are some burrs left in some places. So if it doesn't fit properly, you will feel a needle-like pain."

After a pause, the doctor handed over a prescription:

"The old man has a good constitution, so it's nothing serious. He just needs to rest for a few days and the wound will scab over. His stomach and intestines are a little atrophied and weak, so he still needs to take care of them first and eat a light diet."

“These are all normal.”

"The master just looks more serious. I guess this is the effect those people want to achieve. I guess they still want to do favors for the Marquis' Mansion. Madam, don't worry."

……

Mu Lianzhi didn't remember how she left Fudeyuan, but every step she took felt like she was walking on the edge of a knife, her heart bleeding. Along the way, she was like a walking corpse, not saying a word.

When she returned to Yuxiuyuan, she almost tripped over the threshold.

"Miss--"

"Be careful."

Leng Yun and Chun Miao reached out to help her at almost the same time. They could clearly sense her dejection and loneliness. Chun Miao also looked like she was about to cry:

"Miss, are you okay?"

He waved his hands and moved his lips several times, but Mu Lianzhi was unable to make any sound.

This time, she was really hit hard.

All her previous plans were greatly reduced overnight. Although all this was within her worst-case scenario, she never expected it to happen in such an unexpected situation.

Beitang Yi lifted her up to heaven, but also pushed her down to hell with his own hands.

Likewise, the emotional damage she suffered from this incident was far greater than the setback in her plan itself.

She shouldn't have believed him, let alone expected anything from him~

Love is indeed poison wrapped in sugar.

He was the closest person to her since she came into this world. He was the only man she had lived with for two eras. He had given her support, happiness, and the most wonderful feeling of being in love.

Once, she really thought that this experience would become her last and most beautiful memory in this world.

She knew that the two of them would not have a future, and she never expected that he would love her forever. However, she never thought that even this short period of time and her seriousness were just a joke.

He didn't fulfill any of the promises he made to her.

She lost this round.

Staggering, Mu Lianzhi returned to the room.

That night, she tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.

The next morning, she was woken up by a rustling noise. She got up and saw Chunmiao trotting in:

"Miss, Madam Li is here. She said that the master has returned and the old lady's excitement triggered her old illness. She wants... she wants your blood."
