Jiang Yan spoke confidently, but Fu Weixin didn't quite believe it. When the meeting ended, he strictly ordered everyone to forget about it and not spread it secretly. If they were to anger the governor and his wife, no one would be able to save them.

However, Fu Weixin did not hesitate in knocking out Governor Fang. It was unknown which connection he secretly found, but when Jiang Yan went to the kitchen to get lunch the next day, he heard the news that Governor Fang was unconscious.

The cause of the coma had nothing to do with the sleeping pills Jiang Yan mentioned. At least on the surface, it was just that Governor Fang was extremely unlucky, or it was his own fault.

According to people familiar with the matter, Governor Fang has been unwell recently and often scolds his servants late at night.

Although the doctor said that emotional distress would lead to liver depression and qi stagnation, Governor Fang refused to listen. Every time he lost his temper, he would vomit uncontrollably, and he even had to open the window for ventilation.

Considering that Governor Fang was sick and weak, the servants were worried that he would catch a cold and be punished, so they had no choice but to put a few more charcoal braziers in the house to keep warm.

The servant who went to change shifts early this morning found that no one had appeared and there was no movement in the house. He noticed something was wrong and asked someone to break in. Only then did he discover that everyone inside had been poisoned by charcoal.

The window gap that had been left open before was now closed tightly for some reason.

Fortunately, it was discovered early, and the servants on duty did not inhale much carbon monoxide poisoning. They woke up one after another soon and seemed to be fine.

But Governor Fang, who had already been poisoned by fire, was not so lucky and remained in a coma.

After the doctor's examination, he said that even if the patient woke up, his brain might be damaged.

This time, after receiving the news, the governor's wife hurried over, but she didn't even step into the house. After listening to the doctor's diagnosis, she took her people away.

In the afternoon, Fu Weixin went to Jinjiaoyuan again to discuss her marriage with Madam. Compared with the last time she came, she was obviously much more relaxed this time.

But the governor's wife was concentrating on admiring her long armor, and had no interest in Fu Weishen's words which were just a new bottle for the same substance.

She had a lot of things to worry about these days and didn't have the energy or patience to create any more complications with a marriage that had already been decided.

Fu Weixin also understood his wife's attitude. As he spoke, he remembered the idea he had rejected last night. He thought of giving it a try and then changed the subject to talk about his wife's future.

He first praised the lady for her extraordinary grace. Even though the governor's wife felt that he was sarcastically mocking her at first, she could not resist the stream of beautiful compliments and soon involuntarily focused her attention on Fu Weishen.

When Fu Weixin asked whether Governor Fang's facial injury could be healed, otherwise his appearance would be damaged and his wife felt a little aggrieved, he felt for the first time that the other party vaguely agreed with him, and also felt a bit depressed.

Is there a chance?! Fu Weixin asked his wife to dismiss the maids in the room on the pretext of having a private conversation, and then quietly suggested keeping a few male concubines.

The wife of the governor was as surprised as Fu Weishen and the others when she heard this suggestion, but she did not stop it immediately. Instead, she thought about it carefully.

After a long time, when Fu Weixin was asked if she was worried about facing the opposition and anger of Governor Fang, she weighed the pros and cons and finally chose to honestly express her true thoughts.

"I heard that the master's personal guards all died outside, and now the master is ill, and I don't know when he will wake up. Aunt, you are the true master of this mansion, whether now or in the future."

The governor's wife looked at the graceful girl in front of her. Not long ago, she was just a girl who could only sulk or make things difficult for those around her. She didn't know when she had such a big change of mind... She looked a bit like a member of the Fu family.
