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

That arrives so fast?

It seems that the Marquis's fear of her is far beyond her imagination, and her guilty conscience is killing her.

Yes, now that Ling Wenzhan is dead, they must have felt that they no longer had the certainty of controlling her. Now that she was no longer of any use to them, how could they allow a time bomb like her to live?

As soon as Ling Yuchi came out, Ling Wenzhan's death became an accelerator of her death.

I guess the idea of ​​having the illegitimate child registered under her name should have been rejected now.

His thoughts raced through his mind, but Mu Lianzhi's face showed no extra reaction:

"Go and get ready. Please ask Madam Li to come in."

"Yes."

Not understanding what was going on, Chunmiao looked at her again, then turned around and hurried out.

This time was similar to the previous time when Nanny Kang came, but Nanny Li did not come alone. She brought a maid and a female doctor with her. Her attitude was much friendlier than Nanny Kang's. Her words were pretty much the same.

Mu Lianzhi didn't say anything the whole time. She asked someone to prepare hot water and then lowered the curtain.

Then, without going behind the screen, she simply pulled her clothes, wiped the wound in front of everyone, gritted her teeth, and pierced her heart with the tip of the knife. This time, she didn't use a small bamboo tube, she directly used a white porcelain bowl to receive the blood.

Seeing this scene, Chunmiao Lengyun and the other maids were all stunned.

The pungent smell of blood filled the room, and soon, half a bowl of bright red blood was collected. Mu Lianzhi's face turned pale, and there were purple finger marks of varying sizes on his chest due to the squeezing of blood.

Nanny Li took away the blood, and the female doctor also helped her treat the wound simply and left a bottle of golden medicine.

After a brief rustling, the house returned to silence.

"Miss--"

"Miss, you?"

As soon as the maids came over and spoke, they were glared back at by Mu Lianzhi with a warning. She gave them a look and Leng Yu took over the conversation:

"I will go and guard outside the door."

"Miss, how are you?"

Chun Miao spoke with concern, Leng Yun took out the golden medicine, and Xia Xiu took a wet towel and handed it over at the same time:

"Miss, the blood has always been prepared, why are you doing this?"

While wiping the blood off her hands and body, Xia Xiu's voice choked up. She could tell that something was wrong with her since yesterday. Today, she was clearly biting her neck in pain so hard that the veins were throbbing, but she said nothing.

"Yeah, why don't you use the method from last time?"

There was no need to eliminate Nanny Kang this time, and the blood-drawing procedure was obviously more relaxed than last time, so it should be easier to get away with it. Moreover, they now knew that the blood was useless to the old lady. Chunmiao didn't understand why she had to endure it at this time.

Mu Lianzhi lowered her eyes and glanced at the wound that was still bleeding slightly:

"If it's fake, it's fake. If you use the same method twice, it won't work."

This pain is the price she has to pay for her stupidity!

She deserves it.

Moreover, all roads lead to Rome. If one road is blocked, she must find another way to survive. She needs time, as she will be injured sooner or later.

After a pause, her eyes scanned the room calmly:

"Master is back. Things are different now. We cannot give anyone a handle to take advantage of us. From now on, your daughter is just a widow in the backyard. She can only do three things every day: eat, sleep, and recuperate. Remember that?"

Sensing the solemn atmosphere, the three of them nodded:

"Yes."

"You all need to keep a low profile recently. Remember to remind them to be careful with what they say and do, and try to go out less. I also need to rest, so go down and do your work."

After sending everyone away, Mu Lianzhi returned to bed. This time, she really felt dizzy and weak. She fell asleep in a daze. In between dreams and wakefulness, she seemed to have fallen into a sea of ​​fire in hell. She kept running, but there was always a white light in front of her eyes.

Mu Lianzhi fell ill.

When she regained consciousness, it was already the early morning of two days later. Chunmiao and Xiaxiu were feeding her medicine. Her throat was hoarse as if it had been stabbed by a knife:

"What is this? It's so bitter~"

"Miss, you finally woke up. You had a cold and you were so feverish that you were talking nonsense. I didn't know what you wanted, so I made you some chicken soup and kept it simmering."

"By the way, I've saved the chicken hearts for you these past two days. If you want to slice them or eat them in any other way, just tell me and I'll make them for you."

As he spoke, Chun Miao added seriously:

"Although there is a saying in medical books that 'like cures like', Miss, you are suffering from blood loss and anemia. The doctor said that there is nothing wrong with your heart and pulse. Shouldn't you eat more chicken blood?"

puff~

Mu Lianzhi almost spit out all the medicine, but she was deeply pleased:

"Haha~"

Pulling Chunmiao over, she smiled and pinched her face:

"You are such a foodie! But why don't you think of giving your young lady something good to eat? You put so much effort into it. Your young lady is not a beast and doesn't like to eat this kind of stuff~"

It seems that she was really ill before, and she didn't even notice the words of modern work popping up.

But after this sleep, she felt much more relaxed both physically and mentally, and she seemed to be alive again.

"Miss?"

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

It's just a little setback, no matter it is in life, love or career, just get through it. Privately, Mu Lianzhi also allowed herself three days to be sad, let go and recover.

Thinking this way, she took the medicine bowl and swallowed the last bit of the medicine:

"Has anything happened in the mansion recently? Has anyone come to see me? What about Fudeyuan? What's their attitude?"

Shaking his head, Xia Xiu replied:

"After you had a fever, the doctor in the mansion came to see you and prescribed you some medicine. We were a little worried, so we asked Leng Yun to ask a few more families before we found out. The old lady woke up right away, but the old man's wound didn't seem to be healed well. I heard that he was wailing in pain and is still lying in bed and can't leave the house."

"I heard from Leng Yun that the wound might have been caused by someone secretly, and he is suffering because he can't see it."

"By the way, my cousin came here once, and the prince's mansion sent someone to come."

"Well, there's nothing else going on in the mansion recently. All the people in the courtyard are recuperating from illness. Nanny Li even sent some medicinal herbs this morning."

The two of them chatted back and forth, and the smile on Mu Lianzhi's face subconsciously faded a little:

Haha, living in misery?

Is this a backup plan that person has left to deal with her in the future?

He sneered in his heart, and a hint of cold sarcasm flashed across Mu Lianzhi's eyes:

"Oh? If that's the case, I'll just continue to recuperate. Tell others that my condition is unstable and I'm bedridden. Ask Leng Yun to come in and see me later."

……

On the way, he went out to do an urgent errand. When Beitang Yi returned to Yanjing, he was really eager to go home. He rushed back all the way, exhausted. As soon as he entered the door, he threw the whip to the servant:

"Lumo, what day is it today?"

"Master, it's number eight."

Number eight?

So it has been more than half a month since the last time the two of them met?
