The Doctor's Concubine: Don't mess with the evil princess

The sky gradually darkened and was gradually shrouded in darkness.

In Wuqiu Pavilion, Jiang sat on a sandalwood chair with a sinister look in her eyes, and the silk handkerchief was unconsciously tangled in her hands.

Mother Wang led the middle-aged couple and the midwife into the house.

"Have you looked carefully?" She spoke in a low voice with irresistible majesty.

The three of them lowered their heads, cautiously afraid of saying the wrong thing.

"Madam, I saw it clearly and there is no mistake!" The midwife spoke first. She had a clever mouth and a smiling face, and looked smooth and sophisticated.

Jiang looked sideways, her face gloomy, at the middle-aged couple, and asked in a cold voice: "Did you two see it clearly?"

The middle-aged woman wanted to say something, but before she could say anything, she was stopped by her husband, who said with a big smile on his face: "Madam, I saw it clearly!"

The woman kept her head down from beginning to end, her eyes dodging, not daring to look up at Jiang. She tried to speak several times but was interrupted by her husband.

"Mother Wang has already told you what to do. Don't worry! You will definitely benefit after the success." Jiang paused, her eyes revealing a cruel look as she threatened, "But...if you mess up, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

The couple nodded hurriedly and responded repeatedly.

The midwife took a step forward and said flatteringly, "Don't worry, Madam. I will do everything perfectly and ensure that there are no loopholes. She will never be able to turn things around!"

Jiang waved her hand and signaled to Wang Mama, "It's getting late. Take them downstairs and let them rest. We will do it tomorrow!"

Mother Wang led the three of them out.

……

In the morning light, everything is quiet.

Because of the cold weather, the emperor dismissed his court early, and when Mu Xun returned to the shogunate, it was just past noon.

Jiang asked Mother Wang to serve ginger soup to help Mu Xun drive away the coldness in his body, and also prepared hot porridge and some side dishes.

"Master, I have something to tell you, but I don't know if I should tell you." Jiang prepared food for Mu Xun, glanced at him, and pretended to test him.

"Madam, you and I are husband and wife, just tell me what you have to say!" Mu Xun said casually.

Jiang pretended to hesitate for a moment, hesitating for a long time without saying anything.

Seeing that Jiang hadn't spoken for a long time, Mu Xun asked with concern: "Madam, do you have any unspeakable secrets?"

Jiang shook her head and still said nothing.

Mu Xun put down his bowl and chopsticks, his expression changed slightly, and asked, "Is it about Lan Feng?"

Jiang frowned, pursed her lips slightly, her eyes revealed a conflicted look, she wanted to say something but stopped, as if there were thousands of unspeakable secrets in her heart.

"Madam, Lan Feng is a junior. If he has offended you in any way, I hope you will bear with me!" Mu Xun sighed lightly, unable to hide the guilt on his face.

Mu Xun was in mixed feelings. He had feelings for Mu Lanfeng's aunt, but he didn't know how to face this daughter. Plus, Jiang's occasional instigation made him feel disgusted.

"Master, don't you think Lan Feng has become a different person?" Jiang asked tentatively.

She was almost speechless. She had wanted to let Mu Xun speak it out himself, but she didn't expect Mu Xun to say anything in the direction she wanted.

"When the child left the Mu Mansion, he was only four or five years old. Now that he has grown up, it is inevitable that his personality has changed! Why does Madam say that?" Mu Xun was puzzled.

"Master, do you think that I have a grudge against Lan Feng in the past and that I am taking revenge on you maliciously, so you are saying this?" Jiang pretended to be angry and deliberately questioned.

Mu Xun smiled slightly and immediately apologized and comforted her: "Madam, please don't be angry. I didn't mean that. Madam, you are so magnanimous, how could you be so rude to a little girl!"

"Master, someone is here from Tianyuan Manor. It is necessary for you to know the truth about what happened back then!" Jiang said straight to the point.

Mu Xun was worried. He didn't know what Jiang was up to. He was afraid that things were beyond his control.

Jiang didn't care about Mu Xun's expression and simply waved to the maid to bring the person up.

Not long after, Hong Yuan brought up a middle-aged man.

This man was slightly overweight, with a slightly swollen face. He had a pair of triangular eyes that were thin and narrow. His eyes flickered, sometimes revealing greed, sometimes flashing a sinister look that made people shudder.

His eyebrows are sparse and messy, his nose bridge is slightly collapsed, but the tip of his nose is wide and thick, revealing a bit of vulgarity.

There was a hypocritical smile on his face, which made people feel disgusted.

"Your servant Wang Wei, paying homage to the Prime Minister, Madam!" The middle-aged man who called himself Wang Wei knelt on the ground and saluted.

The affairs of the backyard of the Mu Mansion have always been taken care of by Jiang. Mu Xun rarely asks about them and he has never seen many of the servants.

"Who are you?" Mu Xun asked puzzledly.

"I am the manager of Tianyuan Manor!" Wang Wei replied with his head down.

"Master, please let him stand up and answer!" Jiang reminded.

"Well! Get up and answer!" Mu Xun was intimidating without even getting angry.

Wang Wei stood up trembling, still with his head lowered, not daring to look Mu Xun in the eye.

"What do you want to report this time?" Mu Xun asked.

"Please forgive me, sir. I deserve to die. I failed to take good care of the Fifth Miss and caused her to get into trouble. I deserve to die!" Wang Wei knelt on the ground and kowtowed several times.

"Lan Feng is fine at home. Tell me, what could have happened?" Mu Xun's face was gloomy and he was furious.

"The fifth... the fifth lady... died five years ago! I was afraid that you would blame me, so I concealed the truth!" Wang Wei stammered.

Mu Xun was furious, pointing at Wang Wei and scolding him, "How dare you, you daring servant, talk nonsense! Lan Feng is well at home, and you dare to curse her to death!"

"Master, please calm down. I also find it unbelievable to hear this!" Jiang supported Mu Xun and stroked his chest to help him calm down.

"Please calm down, my lord. How dare I say such nonsense? I was the one who buried the girl's body!"

"Then why do you dare to say it again today?" Mu Xun asked.

"A few days ago, I heard that the fifth young lady had returned home, and I felt strange. The fifth young lady had obviously already... I was afraid that you would be deceived, so I dared to come to your house and tell you the truth!" Wang Wei kept his head down the whole time, not daring to look at Mu Xun.

Mu Xun knew that Jiang might frame him, but thinking back on Mu Lanfeng's behavior after returning home, he couldn't help but be suspicious!

Her personality has become completely different from before!

And who taught her those unorthodox medical skills?

How could it be related to King Yan?

Mu Xun didn't dare to think further. What the person in front of him said only made him suspicious.

Wang Wei saw that Mu Xun was wavering, and continued: "This matter is not only known to me, but also to other people in the manor. If you don't believe it, you can ask other people one by one!"

"Master, this matter is of great importance and needs to be thoroughly investigated. We cannot wrongly accuse Lan Feng, nor can we be deceived in vain!" Jiang said, adding fuel to the fire.

"Madam, you are right!"

Seeing that Mu Xun had given in, Jiang immediately suggested, "Why not call Lan Feng over to confront the steward and see what she says!"
