The lady of Chongxi has supernatural powers and is favored by the powerful official

As Nanny Yang approached the bed, she saw the piece of white cloth thrown at the end of the bed, with bright red color blooming like red plum blossoms.

Nanny Yang was delighted. She took a step forward, picked it up, and smiled as she folded it.

Madam Hou and Nangong Yu who was lying on the bed naturally saw it as well.

Madam Hou and Nanny Yang smiled knowingly.

But Nangong Yu’s face turned red again:…They misunderstood!

Although that was the Yuanpa prepared yesterday, the thing on it was not... blood!

Nanny Yang happily put it away, and went with Qingqiu and Gu Ruoxi to get their hair and dress up.

The Marquis's wife, however, blushed as she sat on the embroidered stool beside the bed and said softly:

"It's good for young couples to love each other, but you have to be careful too. Your body hasn't recovered yet, not to mention that you're hurting your body, if you really get pregnant, I'm afraid the poison in your body will harm the child."

As a mother telling her son about this kind of thing, both of them felt a little embarrassed, but the Marquis's wife had to remind them.

Nangong Yu originally wanted to tell his mother that he did nothing, but then he remembered that in all the major families, whether the bride had her menstrual period or not could cost the bride her life.

Let them just misunderstand.

"Mother."

Nangong Yu knew that his mother was very worried about him, but he couldn't tell her that his leg was fine.

I haven't recovered yet, and my mother's performance in the eyes of others is the most real existence.

But Nangong Yu felt guilty for not telling his mother and making her worry.

Madam Hou sat down beside her son's bed and asked with concern:

"Do you feel anything different in your legs? Don't worry, I'm so grateful to God that you woke up."

In fact, she was clearly anxious, but she was comforting her son.

Madam Hou smiled and glanced sideways at Gu Ruoxi.

This skinny girl is the lifesaver of me and my son! She is the one that Master Hong Yuan mentioned as destined by heaven!

Looking at that innocent girl, he thought of the information he got from interrogating those old women and maids last night.

Madam Hou whispered to Nangong Yu:

"Yu'er, you should be nicer to Xi'er in the future. She is a poor girl. Last night, mother interrogated the maid Liu who escorted the bride to the wedding, and also questioned the three maids."

"Xi'er is their illegitimate daughter, but she was born when Lord Ningyuan doted on a maid after getting drunk. She grew up locked up in a shabby yard in the backyard with her biological mother. It is said that she didn't even have a name before she got married."

"She had a very difficult life. Many people in the Marquis' Mansion didn't know there was such a Second Miss before she got married. They wanted to send her to the Duke of Qin's Mansion just to establish a relationship with him."

When Nangong Yu heard this, he opened his mouth to ask about Gu Ruolan. Madam Hou naturally saw what her son wanted to say, raised her hand to stop him from speaking and said:

"The news that mother got is that Gu Ruolan asked Madam Liu to do the marriage swap. She said she had already discussed it with Madam Liu the day before. Because it was done in a hurry and she was afraid that people in the mansion would find out, so, except for the bride, nothing else was changed."

"So, the dowry brought to our house was prepared by the Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion for Gu Ruolan. As for why Gu Ruolan wanted to abandon her engagement with you and marry into the Qin Guogong Mansion instead, mother asked them, but they didn't know."

"But……"

Nangong Yu wanted to talk about the matter of the second son of Qin Guogong's mansion. He and the emperor's people found some clues, but they didn't get any solid evidence.

However, everyone knows that he lost three wives.

The maiden families of the three families were silenced by the wife of the Duke of Qin and dared not reveal the real cause of death. Even the imperial physician did not see the body when he went to check.

The three families were unwilling to investigate, and only took the dowry, some compensation, and some political concessions made by the Duke of Qin's Mansion to appease the anger of the three families.

So where is Gu Ruolan now?

Nangong Yu felt heartbroken when his mother said that it was Gu Ruolan who changed the bridal sedan.

why?

Are you afraid that you won’t wake up and become a widow?

But, is she really not afraid of being killed by Qin Mingyuan?

Would you rather die than be a widow?

He and Gu Ruoxi had the same suspicion.

But he didn't know that Gu Ruoxi also suspected that Gu Ruolan was also a reborn person.

Madam Hou continued:

"Madame Liu said that she and the two maids were arranged by Gu Ruolan to look after Ruoxi. And..."

The Marquis's wife hesitated for a moment when she spoke of this matter, as if she was a little confused.

Nangong Yu knew his mother's wisdom. If his mother was a little hesitant about something, then there must be something wrong:

"what's up?"

"One of the girls mentioned something. She said that Gu Ruolan had told her that if the Marquis wanted to use acupuncture to prick your acupuncture points to leave you with a child, she should go to bed with Ruoxi instead."

The Marquis's wife seemed a little embarrassed to talk about this in front of her son.

But the matter of acupuncture with golden needles was something that Mrs. Hou was very concerned about.

When Nangong Yu heard this, he was stunned at first, then his eyes narrowed.

Acupuncture with golden needles? My father talked about it with Doctor Shen at his bedside the night before, and I could hear it myself.

But Gu Ruolan actually gave the maid such instructions the day before yesterday. How did she know her father's plan in advance?

Or father... ?

Thinking of this, Nangong Yu became colder and his gentle aura disappeared.

"What about people?"

Nangong Yu asked softly, tapping his fingers gently.

"I have someone watching over there in the woodshed."

Nangong Yu tapped the bedside with his fingers again.

Gu Ruoxi, who was combing her hair over there, seemed to feel someone flash out from outside their house. Someone who could fly away?

Madam Hou continued:

"The only one who really followed Ruoxi was the girl Ruyue. I asked her about it. Ruyue was not originally Ruoxi's maid. She was just a little fire-making girl in Ningyuan Marquis's mansion. She was rescued by Ruoxi's mother twice, so she has been with Ruoxi since she was a child."

"She is just like... Ruoxi, she doesn't know any rules. No one has taught her. So, mother wants Qingqiu to come to your courtyard, not to force someone on you, but just to let Qingqiu help Ruoxi teach Ruyue. Also, there are some things that need someone to advise Ruoxi."

Madam Hou spoke very tactfully, but based on the information she had received and her understanding of Gu Ruoxi yesterday, she did not know the rules in many ways and had not received a good education.

Gu Ruoxi could be said to be naive or stupid, but if this is the case, she would probably be taken advantage of by others in the future.

Fortunately, people are pretty smart, so with a little instruction, there should be no problem.

Once you have chosen your daughter-in-law, you have to pamper her. From what I heard last night, this child has never had a proper meal since she was young. No wonder she cares so much about food.

The Marquis’ wife feels sad when she thinks of these things.

He also looked at his son:

"Yu'er, mother knows that you have always cared about Gu Ruolan. She is talented and well-educated, but no matter why she remarried this time, just because Xi'er really saved you, you have to treat her well."

Nangong Yu naturally knew that it was Gu Ruoxi who saved him, and nodded:

"Mom, I know. I won't do anything ungrateful. But, have you heard any news about the Qin family?"

He doesn't know the news outside yet.

Madam Hou said coldly:

"Whether she is dead or alive, it has nothing to do with my son. What's the point of me asking about it?"
