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

The Marquis' Mansion can definitely do it.

She knew something about the Marquis' Mansion's plots against Mu Lianzhi over the past three years. Many of them were Ling Wenzhan's ideas. They were trying to squeeze out the last bit of her value. Her status was just not worthy of the Marquis' Mansion. Even the Marquis' Mansion couldn't accommodate her, let alone herself now?

She used to be complacent, but now she feels a chill down her spine.

She knew very well that they took her back home just for the blood left by Ling Wenzhan.

Ling Wenzhan is alive, with his support and the child, everything is easy. Now——

His palms were instantly wet with sweat, and when he spoke again, Sang Xi's lips trembled noticeably:

"Why, why are you helping me?"

"help you?"

There was another obvious cold "sneer", and then Mu Lianzhi curled the corners of his lips lightly:

"I'm not that kind. I'm a widow who just wants to live a few more days of peace and quiet. If the eldest wife doesn't focus on you, I'm afraid she will focus on me. It seems like it would be nice to have someone to share the burden with~"

This is not entirely false. Of course, the more important thing is, how could she die now?

She had not yet experienced the humiliation and suffering that she had endured in the Marquis's Mansion. This was just the beginning. She would return exactly what the First Wife's family had inflicted on her.

Sang Xi is a breakthrough.

If this louse of hers can't kill them, she will make them sick to death.

Sang Xi was a little skeptical at first, but after hearing what she said, she began to believe her:

"Then what should I do? I, I don't want to die, can you help me?"

After she finished speaking, seeing Mu Lianzhi's mocking lips, Sang Xi also felt that this was quite ridiculous. If Ling Wenzhan was still alive, they would be the biggest rivals in love.

But her mind was a mess and she was so panicked that she didn't know what to do.

Just when she was thinking about whether to just leave, another voice that seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts came:

"Escape is not a solution to the problem. Threats that are not under control are greater threats that need to be eliminated as soon as possible. If someone were to notice your intentions, you would not even have time to breathe."

Sang Xi was startled and her breathing stopped again.

"The Marquis's Mansion is now very small. You are lucky to have a son to rely on. It's a pity that he is still too young and not mature enough. It's difficult for women, and even more difficult for widows."

After sighing seemingly unintentionally, Mu Lianzhi looked at her again with a pointed look:

"But you're not, are you?"

"If a woman wants to survive and live well, she still needs a long-term support and a talisman! In this mansion, besides the old lady and the eldest lady, there are still people who can make the decisions, right?"

"Not everything the master cares about is the same!"

"The prerequisite is that you have to have the ability and be able to live until then."

He stopped there and didn't give her a chance to speak again. Mu Lianzhi just walked out.

That night, near the same rockery, Sang Xi, who was secretly shedding tears, bumped into the housekeeper Chen Chai. Then, in a dark cave behind the rockery, the two figures entangled with each other.

……

For the next two days, the Marquis' Mansion was very peaceful, as if nothing had ever happened.

In the blink of an eye, it was already sixteen. Early in the morning, Mu Lianzhi got up, washed, and packed up.

At the dressing table, she had just put on the silver foil decoration in front of the mirror when Leng Yun walked in quickly and whispered something in her ear.

Hearing this, Mu Lianzhi couldn't help but laugh:

"Really? She's not that stupid. She's quite good at picking people."

This Sang Xi is more open-minded than she thought. Only if she gets pregnant will the old lady temporarily spare her life, and she will have more time to win Ling Yuchi's favor.

In comparison, the original owner was really an idiot. In her previous life, when a great man like Beitang Yi was placed in her arms, she didn't even know how to embrace him.

Thinking of someone, Mu Lianzhi's eyes unconsciously dimmed for a moment.

Then she stood up from her chair:

"No one noticed this, did they?"

"There shouldn't be any. I only found out because I was watching from a long distance. I moved to two different places in the past two days and there was nothing missing. No one passed by nearby."

After listening to Leng Yun's report, Mu Lianzhi nodded:

"That's right~"

If she doesn't get pregnant soon, how will she have another chance?

As for who the child belongs to, it doesn’t matter as long as others think it is Ling Yuchi’s.

Turning around, Mu Lianzhi just looked at Chunmiao, and saw that she was still holding a silk flower in her hand, staring blankly:

"What are you looking at? Are you possessed?"

"Miss, you are so beautiful~"

Even as he murmured, Chunmiao's gaze was still fixed straight ahead.

Mu Lianzhi couldn't help laughing and burst out laughing:

"is it?"

She stroked the hair at her temples, and her eyebrows curved a little more.

It was really nice to be praised, and it was worth all the effort she put in.

It is not easy for her to leave the house now, and today is a rare opportunity.

She wore a plain white shirt and a light green long skirt. Her makeup was light and her hair was in a short flying bun. She did not wear any gorgeous decorations, but only two thin jade hairpins on one side. A dark tassel beaded forehead ornament hung from the middle of her hair as an embellishment. The most gorgeous thing about her was probably the pair of tassel beaded earrings in a horizontal row on her ears.

It's so plain that it's almost colorless, but for some reason it's hard to take your eyes off it.

Nodding, Chun Miao nodded again:

"Miss, it turns out that forehead ornaments attached to the end of eyebrows look so beautiful. How did you come up with this idea? And your makeup looks good even with or without makeup. You are so beautiful even if you want to be low-key. If you are serious, I guess there will be no chance for others to survive."

"But it seems a little bit off. Why not make a colorful one?"

“It will definitely look better!”

After stroking the silver foil petal above her brow, Mu Lianzhi tapped her forehead again:

"Silly girl, this is exactly the effect I want."

How could she be in the mood to wear red and green when she was ill? Moreover, in such an occasion, she had to dress up, not be ostentatious, and not overshadow the protagonist, but she still needed Beitang Yi's attention and had to stand out.

For some things, you have to try them to know how they work.

"By the way, Chunmiao, I asked you to pay attention to the movements in the big room recently. Is there anything unusual?"

"No, I have been asking and paying attention to it. It's quite strange. I don't know how the master coaxed the eldest lady. She didn't make a fuss or get angry anymore. She even went to pay her respects to the old lady normally these two days. Wenquyuan seems to have become a rat crossing the street. We are not welcome to see her these two days."

It seems that she guessed it right.

Without saying anything else, the group packed up and went out.

……

The formal welcoming banquet only began in the afternoon. Participants arrived one after another. The royal family provided delicious food and opened the imperial garden.

After completing the entire social event with the Marquis's party, Mu Lianzhi was just about to go to the attic to rest when something suddenly fell in front of her on the path.

Taking a step forward, Chun Miao quickly picked it up:

"Hey, Miss, this gourd...why does it look a bit like the one you made before?"
