After hearing this, Mu Wan'er frowned and remained silent for a moment.

"It seems that Gu Wanzhou is indeed not as simple as I imagined."

Mu Wan'er's eyes flickered and she ordered, "Zi Ling, have someone investigate that Boss Hua."

"Miss, let Linzi investigate. He is smart and good at finding out information."

"No." Mu Wan'er refused coldly: "Don't use the people in the mansion. The Duke's Mansion is not our Duke's Mansion. If you use the people in the mansion, there will be many troubles."

"The servant knows."

"Miss, do you suspect...?"

Zi Ling wanted to know whether Mu Wan'er suspected that Wan Zhou and Boss Hua had some shameful relationship.

"No, I don't need to doubt it." Mu Wan'er calculated in her heart, and slowly, a cold smile appeared on the corner of her lips: "I just need to find out that Gu Wanzhou did have contact with a man outside."

Even if there is no handle, she can create one.

"We just need to collect the evidence and let that idiot Wang Sijun catch the adulterer."

Zi Ling felt a sudden shudder in her heart after hearing this.

Caught in adultery?

Wouldn’t that be a bit too harsh?

After thinking for a while, Zi Ling tried to say, "Miss, I still think that the one in Yijin Pavilion is not to be feared. Think about it, if the general had any feelings for her, he would not let her live in Yijin Pavilion."

Zi Ling felt that if her young lady wanted to complete her plan, the main enemy would be Wang Sijun, so there was no need to be so cruel to Wan Zhou.

If you catch someone cheating, no matter if it’s true or not, your reputation will be ruined.

"Zi Ling, my intuition has never been wrong. Keeping Gu Wanzhou will be a disaster sooner or later." Mu Wan'er's voice was sharp.

The reason why she instigated Mrs. Wang to send a servant to Wan Zhou was that she discovered the subtle relationship between Wan Zhou and Ji Nanzheng when she was eating radishes that night.

A few days later, she learned that Ji Nanzheng had gone to Yijing Pavilion. She used her good connections to ask Jiangnan and found out that Ji Nanzheng not only went there, but also had dinner with Wan Zhou.

Since then, her heart began to feel uneasy.

Even though she was in control of Wan Zhou's movements because of Sui'er, and even though Ji Nanzheng had not been to Yijin Pavilion once in the past half month, she was still worried.

She intuitively felt that Ji Nanzheng was abnormal.

Seeing Zi Ling's uneasy look, Mu Wan'er said to herself, "Zi Ling, do you really dislike me being like this?"

"Miss, Zi Ling just hopes that you can be truly happy."

In fact, there were many times when Zi Ling wanted to persuade Mu Wan'er to give up because she felt that this path was too difficult.

She also didn't want to see Mu Wan'er's scheming.

She felt that with Mu Wan'er's talent and beauty, she could be chosen from any of the second sons of noble families. Of course, she could not compare with the general, but she did not need to resort to intrigue or trickery.

But she never tried to persuade her once, because she knew very well that Mu Wan'er had made up her mind and no one could persuade her.

After hearing Zi Ling's distressed words, Mu Wan'er sneered.

hapiness?

Was she really happy?

Ever since her parents died, she was bullied by her clan members, and had to live in the Duke's Mansion, she has lost her happiness.

Of course, it would not be appropriate to say that there was nothing at all. At least, when she thought of Ji Nanzheng, her heart was sweet.

So, how could she give up the only sweetness in her life.

……

Wan Zhou has been feeling uneasy ever since she found out that her period had not come.

Every night when I go to bed, I look forward to waking up early the next morning to find my period.

But after another half a month, he still didn't come.

She was really anxious.

That morning, after she got up, she once again did not find the red she wanted on the bed, so she asked Bai Lu unhappily: "Bai Lu, when is the earliest the doctor can diagnose a pregnancy?"

After asking, Wan Zhou realized that she was desperate and tried every possible means. Bai Lu was younger than her, so it would be impossible for him to know the answer.

But the egret really knew.

"Miss, I heard from Madam Zhou in the mansion that it would take at least two months at the earliest."

Two months ?

Wan Zhou frowned and calculated the date carefully. She and Ji Nanzheng were married on October 18th, and now it was November 28th.

At most it was only forty days.

It will take at least 20 days.

It's so hard.

Wan Zhou really wanted to know the answer immediately. No matter what, he needed to know the result so that he could think of a solution.

Wan Zhou was in a very depressed mood and couldn't muster any energy.

Bai Lu didn’t know what Wan Zhou was thinking, but she felt that Wan Zhou had been worried day by day since he found out that his period hadn’t come.

She didn't know how to comfort her.

He quickly took the clothes and helped Wanzhou put them on.

"Miss, dress warmly. It's so cold outside today. The wind is cutting my face. It feels like it's going to snow."

"Is it snowing?" Wan Zhou stretched out his hand for Bai Lu to take care of him, and thought leisurely about his past life.

Yes, in my previous life, this year was a year of snow disaster. It started in mid-December and continued on and off until after the New Year. I heard that by then, the snow was half a person's height deep. Every household stayed indoors and there was almost no one outside.

At that time, she spent almost half the day lying in bed. She had no idea about the situation outside, but she knew that winter was particularly cold.

"Bai Lu, let's go see Mother Li today."

Mother Li is Huayang's mother. She was Wanzhou's wet nurse when he was a child, so her relationship with Wanzhou is naturally different.

If it really snows heavily and we can't go out, we'll have to meet after the New Year.

"Miss, why don't we do it another day? It's too cold today." Bai Lu said worriedly.

"Why worry about the cold? Madam Li's house is not far away. Besides, we have a carriage and a heater, so we won't be cold."

Bai Lu was afraid that Wan Zhou would catch a cold, so she gave her a scarf, gloves, a heater, and even an extra fox fur cloak.

The master and his servants got on the carriage and went out. Wan Zhou said to Sui'er who was seeing her off, "Take good care of the house. I'll bring you something delicious when I come back."

Although the weather was cold, the streets were still bustling and noisy. Wan Zhou was sitting in the carriage when he suddenly smelled a fragrant scent.

Somehow, she started drooling.

"Stop." Wan Zhou stopped the carriage, got off and followed the smell to a stall selling rice noodles.

She pinched her nose and sniffed hard: Yes, that's the smell.

"What are you cooking? Why does it smell so good?" Wan Zhou said this and began to drool again.

The stall owner was a young woman with bright eyes, wearing a headscarf, her cheeks red from the cold, but she smiled and said, "Madam, this is hot and sour noodles. Would you like one serving?"

This was the first time Wan Zhou heard the name of hot and sour noodles.

But no matter, as long as it tastes good: "Three bowls, send to the carriage over there."

Wan Zhou pointed to the carriage parked on the side. Bai Lu paid the money, and the master and his servants went to wait in the carriage.

What Wan Zhou didn't know was that the whole process of her getting off the car to buy rice noodles was seen by Ji Nanzheng who happened to pass by.

Of course, he was reminded by Jiangnan.

"General, do you want to say hello?" Jiangnan reminded when he saw Wan Zhou was about to get on the carriage.

He didn't mean to say anything more, he just wanted to test Ji Nanzheng's attitude.

Ever since Ji Nanzheng left Yijin Pavilion angrily that day, he hasn't seen the young lady for nearly a month.

Although there was nothing special, Jiangnan had found his general several times in a daze while handling official business at his desk.

He was quick-witted and guessed that the general's abnormality might be related to the young lady.

"No need." Ji Nanzheng was just looking through the drawn curtains when he saw Wan Zhou holding up her skirt and being helped by Bai Lu into the carriage.

Jiangnan: Forget it.

But the next moment, Ji Nanzheng said again: "Get out of here. You are still going out in such a cold weather. What's the big deal?"

Jiangnan was confused. He heard every word clearly, but there was no beginning or end. Why was he asked to get out of here?

"Jiang Bei, did you hear what the general meant?"

Jiang Bei rolled his eyes at Jiang Nan and said, "Don't you say you are smart every day? You want to go by yourself."

Jiangnan rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "I've already thought of it. Haha, I'm just smarter than you."

"General, I will leave immediately and complete the mission."

Oh, it’s said that the general’s thoughts cannot be hidden from his shifty eyes in Jiangnan. So, he asked me to keep an eye on the young lady.
