My husband is pure and has few desires, but I gave birth to three children in a row

Fu Zhijian, who was standing aside, naturally disagreed. Just as he was about to speak up to object, the old marquis gave him a look.

Then he said, "In that case, New Year's Eve is in two days. I'll ask someone to let you go in and visit him on that day. You can talk to him nicely and ask him to be patient for a few days to calm him down."

The master hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement.

The old marquis waved his hand and said, "Then go back and prepare. Think about how to talk to him. Don't anger him."

After hearing this, the master went back to his yard in a daze.

As soon as the eldest master left, Fu Zhijian looked at the old marquis anxiously: "Grandfather, father is confused, why are you-"

Before he could finish his words, the old marquis sneered, "Do you think I'm your foolish father? He's putting on this show of fatherly love at this moment, but he's putting everyone in the mansion on the brink of death."

"Let him go! Only if he goes, that little bastard won't be on guard!"

Fu Zhijian realized something and looked at the old marquis in surprise: "Grandfather, what do you mean?"

The old marquis clapped his hands and Fu Shan walked in from outside.

The old marquis turned and went into the study. After a while, he came out with a porcelain bottle and handed it to Fu Shan.

"Find a way to get it into the food the boss sent to that little bastard."

Fu Shan took the porcelain vase, nodded and left.

Fu Zhijian stared at all this in amazement, and it took him a while to find his voice again: "Grandfather, what is that?"

The old marquis's face was terrifyingly calm. "It's a drug that will make you speechless and your hands and feet will become limp as mud after you take it!"

Fu Zhijian's pupils shrank. So the old marquis wanted Fu Zhiming to be alive but unable to speak or move his hands?

Thinking back to what the old marquis said to the eldest master, I just hope that after knowing your good intentions, you won’t hate me to the core.

If Fu Zhiming remains like this for the rest of his life, he will probably hate the master for the rest of his life.

And the master was the one who chose this path for Fu Zhiming. Will he regret it?

Fu Zhijian's heart was filled with malice at this moment, and he suddenly wanted to see this scene.

The old marquis saw Fu Zhijian's expression at the moment and sighed in his heart, thinking that the eldest son was such a fool. Even at this time, he still couldn't let go of that evil creature Fu Zhiming, and he had completely hurt his other son's heart.

In the future, he will cry for many more days.

If it were before, he might have been able to save the boss a little.

Now, he also saw clearly that the boss was a man with a clear appearance but a muddled mind. The Ningyuan Marquis Mansion had fallen into its current state because of the sins committed by the boss.

The only person everyone in the Marquis' Mansion can rely on now is Brother Jian.

If he hurts Brother Jian's heart again for the sake of the boss, this marquisate will probably be ruined.

He is already this old, and it is unknown how many days he has left to live.

He has been cleaning up the boss's mess all his life and now he is tired.

When the eldest brother pleaded for that little beast Fu Zhiming, he didn't even consider the feelings of his old father.

Now he doesn't need to worry about the boss anymore.

After thinking about it, he simply said to Fu Zhijian, "Your father has been a fool all his life, and he can't change. From now on, this mansion can only rely on you! Now, the future of our mansion is probably only in the hands of Your Majesty."

"Now I only hope that His Majesty will consider Yi Ge'er's contributions to Nanyue and that he was born in the Marquis' Mansion. If the Marquis' Mansion is really implicated, I'm afraid Yi Ge'er will also be implicated. Please let the Marquis' Mansion go this time."

He sighed and said, "If His Majesty can show some leniency, from now on, Brother Jian, you must be careful in your actions and never follow your father's example."

"If His Majesty insists on pursuing this matter, I will protect you even if it means sacrificing my old body. From now on, your life will be very difficult! If all else fails, don't be afraid of losing face and go to Nanyue to seek refuge with Brother Yi."

"Even if Brother Yi hates me as his grandfather, I think he still has some feelings for you..."

Fu Zhijian was startled when he heard the old marquis act as if he was leaving his last words. "Grandfather, please don't scare me."

The old marquis looked sad. "I'm just making a foolproof plan. While I'm free, I'll explain it to you. Otherwise, if something goes wrong and I'm caught off guard, I'm afraid I won't have time to explain."

"Just keep it in mind. I don't think our mansion is in such a state for the time being."

Fu Zhijian felt slightly relieved and chatted with the old marquis for a while before returning to his own courtyard.

After returning, he met Mrs. Hu's worried eyes.

Fu Zhijian rubbed his face and gave a wry smile.

Mrs. Hu sent everyone out, leaving only two people in the room.

The couple sat opposite each other, each worried.

Mrs. Hu felt extremely uncomfortable. During the day, she had to pretend nothing had happened in front of the servants and children, and she also had to keep an eye on the progress of the New Year celebrations in the mansion.

But I feel uneasy all the time, afraid that this year will not be peaceful.

However, in just a few days, Mrs. Hu lost a lot of weight.

The eldest wife, Jin, had a vague suspicion. She called Hu into her room for a while and said only one thing: "If anything really happens, don't worry. Zhao will report it and have that evil Fu Zhiming thrown in jail."

"If that time really comes, just for Bo Ge'er and Yue Jie'er, I can risk my life and push the master out."

Seeing Hu's surprise, Jin, who had experienced more, was calmer. "If bad luck really is against you and you can't escape your fate, I will do everything I can to protect you. Don't be afraid. It's New Year's Eve. Be happy and don't let the old lady and the children see."

Mrs. Hu's eyes flushed red, and she raised her head to blink away the moisture in her eyes, forcing a smile. "Madam, you are right. It is because we are young and unstable that we have made you worried."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law held each other's hands. It was a rare sight since Mrs. Hu got married that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were of one mind.

The Marquis' Mansion seemed peaceful and even cheerful, as if they were going to celebrate the New Year well.

In fact, there are undercurrents and people are in panic.

Only the eldest master, since he received the approval from the old marquis, rarely went to see Aunt Guo. He said he wanted to visit her in prison and asked Aunt Guo if she wanted to bring something for Fu Zhiming.

Aunt Guo, who had been acting crazy, was no longer crazy. She struggled to get up and started to prepare.

Following the servants' advice, he hurriedly made a thick cotton robe and trousers for Fu Zhiming overnight, and carefully sewed a few silver bills and gold leaves inside.

She had heard that the jailers were very bad and didn't give them proper meals.

Her Ming Ge'er was raised in luxury since childhood, so how could he endure such hardship?

After sewing the clothes, she personally instructed the kitchen to make some of Fu Zhiming's favorite snacks, as well as his usual dishes, and a pot of the best Yuquan wine.

Mrs. Hu didn't hesitate to be polite with her. She could ask for things, but anything beyond the specified amount would only be given in cash.

Aunt Guo was very angry, but she was too weak to make a scene in front of the master.

He paid the money reluctantly.

On New Year's Eve, after the sacrifice, the eldest master found an excuse to hide and only let Fu Zhijian greet the clan members in front.
