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

Their carriage returned to the Marquis' Mansion. The Marquis's wife did not enter the second gate immediately, but took Gu Ruoxi to the study in the outer courtyard.

However, he saw that the door of the main study was closed, and all the servants of the marquis and the people who cleaned the yard of the study were standing in the yard anxiously.

As soon as Gu Ruoxi entered the yard, she smelled a scent of blood. She reached out and pulled Madam Hou.

He whispered in the ear of the Marquis:

"Mom, it smells like blood."

Mrs. Hou was startled.

What Qinglan reported just now did not include that the Marquis chopped off the Second Young Master's arm, and she did not know that either.

When they saw the Marquis's wife coming, the servants were stunned at first, then they reacted and hurried forward to pay their respects.

Especially the steward Zhou of the outer courtyard, although he came forward, he kept his head down.

It seemed as if he didn't want the Marquis's wife to see him.

But he was the most senior person here, so the Marquis’s wife still asked:

"What's going on? The Marquis isn't here?"

Butler Zhou sighed and had to step forward to answer the question himself. However, he waved his hand and asked the others to disperse.

Nanny Yang and others who were following behind the Marquis' wife also understood what the butler meant and took two steps back.

Butler Zhou did not speak quietly, but just spoke slightly lower as if he did not want to disturb the people in the room:

"Madam, the second young master's hand was examined by Imperial Physician Lu, Doctor Yang and others. In the end, they determined that the hand had to be cut off first to save his life. No one had the heart to do it. So the Marquis chopped it off himself."

Then he looked back at the room and lowered his voice:

"After cutting off the second young master's hand, he came here covered in blood and locked himself in the study room without opening the door, nor did he allow the servants to serve him. We were all waiting here, and we didn't dare to knock on the door."

Hearing what Butler Zhou said, Gu Ruoxi's desire to watch the show came back. She quickly moved her fingers, and sure enough, the previous conversation at Lanyue Courtyard was transmitted.

Gu Ruoxi: Tsk tsk, you don’t want to cut off your hand, so you want to be the crown prince. Do you think the crown prince is really disabled? Do you think you can replace the crown prince?

Oh my, you still want to put this account on the Marquis’ wife. What does this have to do with the Marquis’ wife?

Gu Ruoxi looked like she didn't know anything and just held Madam Hou's hand tightly.

The Marquis's wife frowned after hearing what Butler Zhou said. Although Zhu was not a simple-minded person and her two children were not well taught by her, Xie Qingrou was still shocked to hear that a father personally cut off one of his son's arms.

Xie Qingrou thought for a moment:

"Xi'er, you and Qingqiu go back to Chaohui Courtyard first. I'll go see the Marquis."

She thought that the Marquis probably didn't want to see his daughter-in-law at this time.

Gu Ruoxi sensibly agreed, turned around and left with Qingqiu, but whispered a reminder to Nanny Yang:

"The second young master's hand was chopped off because it was not healed properly. You and your wife will definitely be blamed. You should be careful."

In fact, Nanny Yang also heard what Butler Zhou said. Hearing Gu Ruoxi's words, she felt warm in her heart. The young lady was a kind-hearted child.

Jiuhuan wanted to follow her. Gu Ruoxi thought of Jiuhuan's martial arts skills:

"Jiuhuan, you stay with Madam first and take good care of her later."

Jiuhuan nodded. They had seen a lot of things between the marquis, his wife and the concubine in the backyard. If this was the case now, the concubine would definitely hate the marquis to death. It was really necessary for her to stay with the marquis.

Nanny Yang had no objection either.

Gu Ruoxi took Qingqiu to the second gate. As soon as they entered the second gate, there was a woman guarding the door:

"Greetings to the Crown Prince's wife. The old lady invites the Crown Prince's wife."

Qingqiu's heart skipped a beat. He reached out to pull Gu Ruoxi and shook his head gently.

There is no extra person around them now, so the old lady must have no good intention in asking the young lady to go.

Today, the old lady went to the Madam's Wutong Courtyard to make trouble, but was stopped by the prince. She was afraid that something bad would happen if the prince's wife was invited.

Gu Ruoxi tilted her head and looked at the nanny:

"What does the old lady want from me?"

The nanny looked at Gu Ruoxi expressionlessly and said:

"How would I know what the old lady wants to talk to the young lady about? Won't the young lady know when she goes there?"

Gu Ruoxi naturally saw Qingqiu shaking his head when she glanced at him. She said:

"Then please wait for a moment, old lady. I'll go back and change my clothes and then I'll be there."

Gu Ruoxi was not stupid. She knew that the old lady had been looking for trouble these past two days and she didn't want to run into her.

Unexpectedly, the nanny stepped forward and blocked Gu Ruoxi's way:

"No need to change clothes, the young lady's clothes are all very beautiful."

Gu Ruoxi's face showed a cold light:

"What do you mean? You..."

The nanny simply started to hold Gu Ruoxi. Two maids also came over from the other side and held Gu Ruoxi's other side. The nanny also said:

"Let's help the young lady to see the old lady."

Gu Ruoxi didn't expect them to take action, so she turned around and shouted:

"Qingqiu, go back and tell them that I'm going to see the old lady."

Qingqiu was very anxious. She knew she should go back and report the news, but seeing them holding the young lady on both sides, and the young lady being so naive, she was afraid that she would suffer, so she shouted:

"Let go, how dare you touch the young lady."

Qingqiu hoped to see someone from Wutong Courtyard or Chaohui Courtyard, so she chased after them, calling out, but she didn't see anyone.

When they arrived at the courtyard of Jing'an Hall, Qingqiu felt something was wrong and turned around to run, but two maids came over and took Qingqiu into Jing'an Hall as well.

Gu Ruoxi stopped shouting after calling out twice. She moved her fingers and found out that the old lady and the concubine were also here.

These people were not here to arrest her alone, they were here to arrest the Marquis's wife and her.

But Qingqiu was disobedient and should have run back. Now, both of them have been caught.

As soon as these people brought them into Jing'an Hall, they closed the door of Jing'an Hall.

Gu Ruoxi, who was escorted in, looked at the old marquis' wife who was sitting on the upper seat with a gloomy face and the concubine who was sitting on the side with swollen eyes from crying. She was not afraid anymore.

Standing in the middle of the hall, he said:

"What did you ask me to do, old lady?"

Qingqiu was not taken to this room, but to a side room. She was tied up and her mouth was gagged with a cloth.

The old marquis's wife looked at Gu Ruoxi who was dressed in white:

"You've just gotten married, and you're already wearing white clothes. Who are you mourning for?"

Gu Ruoxi looked down in surprise. Was it because I was wearing white clothes? What was the sin of just wearing white clothes?

Gu Ruoxi knew that she was looking for trouble, so she said casually:

"You are the eldest in this mansion, so if I want to be filial, I must show my filial piety to you."

"you you……"

The old marquis' wife was so angry that she pointed at Gu Ruoxi and was speechless. The concubine on the side shouted in a hoarse voice:

"Come here, the young lady is disrespectful to the old lady, slap her ten times."

Nanny Xiao and another nanny who were standing behind the old marquis's wife came over.

Gu Ruoxi knew something was wrong. Was he just looking for an excuse to take action?
