He regretted it so much at this moment. He shouldn't have listened to his grandmother and came to harass the eldest daughter of the Zhan family. He didn't expect that she was not as weak and vulnerable as his grandmother said.

What she didn't expect was that she had someone to rely on behind her.

It seems that Mrs. Xie from the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion is not someone to be trifled with.

As expected, Xie Ru said coldly, "Young Master has been burned like this. He must be soaked in ice water. Come on, get an ice bucket!"

Du Liang's breathing tightened, and he quickly stopped her: "No, it's too cold, I'll get frostbite!"

Xie Ru narrowed her eyes and smiled: "Your words don't count, now it's my words that count. We are all trying to save you. Believe me, as long as you soak in ice water, the burning sensation in your body will dissipate a lot!"

The ice bucket was brought over quickly, and Du Liang was kicked in by Xie Ru.

Bang! The ice water filled Du Liang's mouth and nose, and he almost died on the spot.

He was choked and coughed continuously. When he finally stopped coughing, he begged almost tearfully: "I was wrong, let me go, please!"

Xie Ru frowned. "How can this be possible? If I can't cure you, your grandmother will start making up rumors about my future daughter-in-law. I have to shut her up. Come on, add more ice!"

Du Liang was almost frozen to the point of being unable to speak. Seeing more ice cubes being added, he could only tremble and say, "Hahaha, I will persuade my grandmother and will not let her ask Miss Zhan to be responsible again. I also promise not to bother her again, hahaha!"

Seeing that he was about to freeze to death, Xie Ru ordered people to drag him out.

She looked down at Du Liang and said, "Go back and tell your grandmother that my daughter-in-law, Xie Ru, is not someone she can bully. If she refuses to obey, she can come to Weiyuan Marquis's Mansion to settle the score with me. If I find out that she has her eyes on my daughter-in-law again, I will drag her out to the street and whip her. I mean what I say!"

The dying Du Liang was sent to the Dingxiang Marquis' Mansion. He fainted before he could say a word to Old Madam Du.

When Mrs. Du saw him like this, she was immediately furious.

She cursed loudly: "Xie Ru, you are going too far!"

Madam Du Er angrily said, "Mother, didn't you say my son would definitely marry a beautiful woman? How did he end up in such a miserable situation now? What should I do?"

Madam Du interrupted in dissatisfaction: "Don't I feel bad? The person lying in front of me is my own grandson!"

Madam Du wiped her tears and said, "Mother, we can't just let the Zhan Yihou Mansion go. They've gone too far. Liang'er is the only child of our Du family. They're going to destroy him alive!"

Madam Du didn't dare to settle the score with Lin Yiwan openly, she knew it was not the right time yet.

She soothed him in a deep voice: "Don't worry, wait for Liang Er to wake up and find out what happened first!"

After being in a coma for two days, Du Liang was finally pulled back from the brink of death.

He said through his cracked lips, "Grandmother, Madam Xie from the Weiyuan Marquisate asked me to tell you something. She said if you try to hit on her daughter-in-law again, she'll drag you out to the street and whip you. She means what she says!"

Mrs. Du was so angry that her vision went dark. She cursed loudly, "That crazy woman, is it her turn to meddle in other people's business now?"

Du Liang spoke with difficulty: "Grandma, forget it. I still want to live a few more years. Zhan Qingning is too high for me. Let's stop dreaming!"

Madam Du gritted her teeth and retorted, "How is it wishful thinking? Your sister is now a noble lady in the palace. As long as she can give birth to a child safely, it will be the emperor's only heir. Our Du family will be royal relatives in the future. Why can't she marry Zhan Qingning?"

Du Liang thought of something and suddenly his whole body began to tremble violently. He said angrily: "No, I won't marry her, I never will!"

Madam Du was startled and quickly soothed him softly, "Okay, let's not marry her. Can we marry Zhan Miao? She's young and has been spoiled by Lin Yiwan. She certainly doesn't have so many tricks!"

At this time, Lin Miao from the Zhan Yihou Mansion was teasing a cat. She suddenly sneezed several times in succession, scaring the cat so much that it curled up into a ball.

She rubbed her nose: "What's going on? Is someone saying something bad about me?"

Lin Yiwan patted her head and said, "Maybe your teacher is worried about you not finishing your homework and is thinking about you."

Zhan Miao stuck out his tongue: "I'll write it right away!"

She didn't dare to play around anymore and immediately ran back to the study.

Just at this moment, Xie Ru had already sent Zhan Qingning back.

She smiled and said, "We don't need to worry about Qing Ning at all. When I went there, she was beating up that scammer from the Du family, making him scream and whine!"

Lin Yiwan then looked her up and down: "Lime? How did you do it?"

Zhan Qingning lowered her eyes and chuckled: "Do whatever makes him feel uncomfortable!"

Lin Yiwan praised without hesitation: "It's worth your mother's teaching you. Just do this from now on. As long as we are right, even if you take his life, mother will cover it for you!"

Zhan Qingning's eyes suddenly turned red, and she said respectfully: "Thank you, mother!"

Zhan Miao squeezed over and said, "This is because he hasn't met me yet. If he dares to blackmail me, I will let Xiaobai bite him to death!"

Xie Ru gently warned, "Meow, no matter what, you have to be careful. When you go out, besides taking Xiaobai with you, bring some maids who are skilled in martial arts, just in case!"

Zhan Miao nodded: "Aunt Xie Ru, I understand!"

She had just returned to her courtyard when she heard the servant come in to report, "Miss, someone from the study has sent a message saying that Master Youming has published a new book of stories. He has left a set for you. Go buy it as soon as possible!"

Zhan Miao hurriedly shouted: "Xiaobai, hurry up, take me to the study!"

She knew very well how popular Master Youming's book was, and many noble ladies in the capital were coveting it.

When she rushed to the study, she saw many noble ladies gathered at the door.

They all shouted, "Why is the newly released book already out of stock? Is the shopkeeper refusing to sell it to us because he's being picky?"

When Zhan Miao heard this, she turned around and walked towards the back door. Right now, public outrage was boiling, and she couldn't be the first to act.

She is not a fool!

But just as she and Xiaobai went around to the back door, they saw a large piece of meat thrown in the middle of the road.

This is terrible. Xiaobai is about to rush forward like a madman.

Zhan Miao grabbed it tightly and yelled, "Xiaobai, calm down. It's just a piece of meat. Why are you so impatient?"

Xiaobai cried and refused to listen.

Zhan Miao couldn't pull it, so he fed it a sleeping pill in a flash.

It fell to the ground, unable to move. She finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Is it easy for me to save your life? Didn't I warn you not to eat food from outside? You don't learn your lesson!"
