The old bachelor Liuguang felt as if his chest had been hit by a critical hit of 10,000 points!

But, my Lord is getting weirder and weirder. Could it be that he's come up with some other way to torture me? He wants a woman's bed? Is he trying to steal someone's wife?

"Oh right! Liuguang! I heard there's a piece of black iron in Master's house. It's pitch black and extremely hard. If you put it in the sun, it will emit colorful light!"

Liu Guang: "My Lord! The old Protector of the Country does have a piece of black iron. He has always wanted to use it to make a handy weapon, but he hasn't decided on the style yet."

Shen Chou sneered, "This damn old fellow, he only knows how to enjoy such a good thing by himself. Go and get that piece of black iron back for me, and ask a skilled craftsman to make a chain out of it."

Shen Chou thought about it and went back into the house. He took out paper and pen and wrote and drew on it, carefully marking the shape and size.

"Tell them to make it for me according to this. Oh, and make me two sets of gold and silver ones. Remember to polish the bracelets and anklets until they are smooth!"

Liuguang thought, it's over, it seems like this is really going to steal someone's wife. He silently lit a stick of incense for the lady in his heart, hoping that she and her family would take good care of themselves.

After all, judging from the degree of perversion of our own Marquis, once he finally finds a woman he likes, he will definitely lock her up by his side all the time and not let her have any chance of escape. He may even kill their entire family for this.

Hey!

Although Liuguang was complaining in his heart, he still did his job honestly.

At this time, another man in black appeared beside Shen Chou.

"My Lord! The woman you asked me to investigate is the current Grand Tutor's second wife, Qiao Jie!"

"She started out as the wet nurse of the eldest son of the Lin family. Later, the late emperor rebelled, and Kyoto was thrown into complete chaos. Lin Jingde, who was once the Dean of the Imperial College, had a very difficult time surviving in such a chaotic situation."

"If it weren't for his legal wife, Jiang Erlan, the legitimate daughter of Marquis Lecheng, who repeatedly protected him in times of crisis and used her family's influence to protect the entire Lin Mansion, he probably wouldn't have been able to establish a relationship with the current emperor!"

Shen Chou sneered, "Oh, if I remember correctly, the reason why the Lecheng Marquis Jiang family was defeated was because Lin Jingde made a suggestion in front of the emperor, and Lord Jiang spoke wildly, thinking that the emperor was unworthy of the throne. Then, the young emperor was furious and stripped Lecheng Marquis of his title and even almost executed his entire clan."

Shadow replied respectfully, "Indeed, if it weren't for you, Lord Marquis, who spoke up for me, and the Duke of Protectorate's efforts, the Jiang family would have been exterminated."

"However, the Grand Tutor kept on pestering the Jiang family, so Lord Jiang finally left Kyoto and returned home."

According to Shen Chou's current understanding, he should be the son of Lin Jingde and Jiang Erlan, and the current eldest son of the Lin family is the son of Shen Laocai and that Qiao Jie...

However, he didn't believe that a mere wet nurse would dare to switch her child with the master's child!

Moreover, even though he had been in Kyoto for such a long time, he knew very little about that colorless and odorless medicine. It was said that this medicine was only available in the imperial palace of the previous dynasty, and the old doctors who could prepare such medicine were now old and had retired to their hometowns.

This is something that a wet nurse in the home of a director of the Imperial College could not have access to.

Even if she really came into contact with him, she would not be able to save her life.

Who was helping this nurse? Not only did she allow him to poison her, she even controlled the amount of poison to prevent her from dying!

Why is that?

To be honest, he couldn't quite understand it, but based on his many years of experience in trying cases, that old man Lin Jingde was definitely not innocent.

But, did he know that the son he doted on was not actually his own flesh and blood...

"Oh right! That~Jiang~ How is Jiang Erlan now!?"

"My Lord, that person seems to be dead..."

Shen Chou took two steps back, clutching his chest in disbelief. "Dead? Dead?"

Shadow was very worried and knelt forward two steps, using his body to protect Shen Chou behind him, fearing that he would fall to the ground.

"My Lord! He is indeed dead. I heard he was burned to death in a fire."

"The year after he was burned to death, Lin Jingde married Qiao Jie as his second wife, under the pretext of having her help take care of his eldest son, Lin Gaowang!"

He looked at his master's increasingly gloomy face and was afraid to continue speaking.

Shen Chou's body swayed, blood oozed from the corner of his mouth, and even his teeth were chattering, "Good! Very good!"

These words, full of murderous intent, made Shadow panic!

It seems that the man surnamed Lin is going to be in trouble...

On the other side, Yu Ruyue finally discovered that there seemed to be only a soul left in Shen Chou's body.

Yu Ruyue was a little worried, "Zhiheng! Is that person still in your body? Did he die of rage after knowing that I was pregnant?"

Shen Zhiheng's face was hidden in the darkness. His eyes narrowed slightly, and they were filled with coldness. "Why is Ruyue asking this? Don't you want me to come back? Or... are you worried about him?"

Yu Ruyue noticed something was wrong with his voice and quickly explained, "Well, he has saved us several times after all. I just wanted to ask, not to ask her to come back."

Shen Zhiheng looked at Yu Ruyue's evasive gaze and suddenly wanted to find a mirror to show her. Was there any sign of worry in her eyes?

He wants to ask, do you like him more or yourself more...

But he can't...

So he smiled and rubbed Yu Ruyue's head and said, "Don't worry, Ruyue! He's such a powerful martial artist, he will be fine."

"And if it were me, even if you were pregnant with someone else's child, I would still treat it as my own."

"As long as you stay with me forever!"

"But if he really gets mad at you, it only means he's too petty and doesn't really like you that much!"

Yu Ruyue really didn't expect that Shen Zhiheng would say such a thing.

But then again, with Shen Zhiheng's kind nature, he really wouldn't care too much.

However, she still took out some healing medicine from her bosom and handed it over, "Is it possible to put these medicines into your two spaces?!"

Shen Zhiheng took the medicine and could hardly hold back the smile on his face. "Yes! I can do it!"

"Then put the medicine in there, that's perfect! It'll be useful no matter which of you gets hurt!"

Shen Zhiheng smiled: "Okay! I'll put it in right away!" That's impossible!

"By the way! What are you going to do today?"

Yu Ruyue stood up, straightened her clothes and said, "I'm going to go see if the charcoal is burning."

"Let's go see how He Ye's ten wolf meat dishes are made!"

"My eldest and second brothers were injured yesterday, and I haven't sent them medicine yet!"

"And my parents, although they're not injured, they seem to have overexerted themselves and are a bit stretched. I'm going to go out and see what they're doing outside."
