On the Marquis's side, however, there was a huge uproar.

Ruyi burst into tears, and Nanny Qian knelt on the ground, trembling. The two of them silently endured the Marquis's wrath.

"Waste! Idiot! Idiot!"

The Marquis's wife smashed everything that could be smashed in the room, but still not satisfied, she rushed to Ruyi and slapped her in the face.

"Didn't you say that Qingshanyuan was under your control and you could send that paralytic to hell anytime and anywhere? And now? Idiot! You're more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything!"

"Because of you, an idiot, all my hard work for the past three years has gone to waste!"

The Marquis's wife slapped him again.

Ruyi screamed and fell to the ground.

Her face was burning with pain, but she didn't even dare to cry out loud.

Madam Qian felt sorry for her niece, so she took Madam Hou's hand and rubbed it:

"Ma'am, be careful with your hands. Don't hurt them."

"roll!"

The Marquis's wife roared angrily, and Madam Qian was so scared that she pushed Ruyi out of the room, crawling and rolling.

The Marquis's wife felt dizzy.

Su Li!

I never knew you had this ability. You're such a master at playing the pig and eating the tiger!

In just three days, her chess game was completely disrupted.

Qingshan Courtyard is now impenetrable, so it will be extremely difficult to gain entry.

"Madam, even if the paralytic doesn't die, he's still paralytic." Nanny Qian settled Ruyi down and returned. "As long as he doesn't give birth to a legitimate son, there will be no one to carry on the family line. Won't the title still belong to the Third Young Master?"

Madam Hou clenched her fists.

Yes, the paralytic was protected in Qingshan Courtyard and couldn't move, so Su Li had to go out for a walk.

As long as Su Li can't give birth to a child, Qingshan Courtyard will not be able to cause any trouble.

Seeing that Madam Hou had finally calmed down, Nanny Qian came closer and said,

"Madam, I just went to see the Third Young Master today. He was beaten."

"what?"

The Marquis's wife was shocked and said hurriedly:

"How is he? Is it serious?"

"That's not bad. The other party didn't kill him."

"Who did it?"

"The young master has been blindfolded and doesn't know the other party's background. Madam, the young master is injured and needs to be taken care of. How about letting Ruyi go over?"

Madam Qian had been planning to have Ruyi become Pei Yan's concubine. She had originally planned to wait until the Qingshan Courtyard incident was resolved, but now that something like this had happened, it would be inappropriate for Ruyi to continue hanging around in front of Madam. It would be better to send her to Pei Yan's place.

If I can successfully charm Pei Yan and share the favor of that little bitch Liu Xu, it would be a great achievement.

When the Marquis's wife heard this, she was very pleased and nodded in agreement.

Nanny Qian continued, "The Third Young Master also said he needed ten thousand taels of silver."

"Why does he need so much silver?"

"That's not what I said."

The Marquis's wife rubbed her swollen brows. This son had always been a source of worry. She waved her hand and told Madam Qian to get the silver from the cash box herself.

"The most urgent task is to get the Third Young Master back, marry the Third Lady properly, and have a legitimate son. As long as a legitimate son is born, the Marquis will compare the two and the title will naturally be decided."

What Madam Qian said made sense. Madam Hou pondered and said:

"Yesterday when I went to the palace, the Imperial Concubine said she was going to host a Dragon Boat Festival banquet. I thought I'd take this opportunity to meet the young lady from the Zhenbei Marquis family. If it's possible, I could ask the Imperial Concubine to mediate on the spot."

"Best regards, ma'am."

……

The Qingshan Courtyard was cleaned up inside and out, and it finally felt much more comfortable.

Su Li finished dinner with the two children. Seeing that Huan Ge'er had no intention of talking to her, she had no choice but to remain silent.

It was Xijieer who pulled her brother into her room to see the many things Su Li bought for her today.

Song Tao came back and brought back the business contract of the shop on East Street.

"How much did it cost?"

"Twelve thousand taels."

"Why are there two thousand taels more?"

"I don't know either. But the young master said he has a clever plan."

After hearing Song Tao say this, Su Li stopped asking.

My younger brother Su Zhe always has some crooked ideas. Although he is a little naughty, he is still reliable in doing things. Thinking of this, I asked Song Tao to get the silver and send it to Su Zhe tomorrow.

Here, Nanny Li pushed the door open and came in. Just as she was about to open her mouth, she was interrupted by Su Li:

"Stop!"

Nanny Li took the food she had prepared for Pei Heng and smiled mischievously.

"Miss, this is filled with good stuff! Besides, you promised me yesterday."

Su Li's face turned red when she thought about this.

What is this all about?

It's like doing a task.

Aren't things like this supposed to be consensual and affectionate? Why did it all go sour in her hands?

"Mammy, I'm so tired after working all day. Can you let me take a rest?"

These three days felt longer than three years.

But Nanny Li didn't give in at all.

"Miss, you saw what happened today. They've already poisoned them! Miss, you still have the mind to rest?! What if one day... Pah, pah, pah, I'm not the Curse Prince, but I can't help but be prepared! Things like this can't be delayed!"

Having said that, without showing any mercy, he went out and waved to the mute slave, saying:

"Mute slave, this is the prince's meal. You are to take it in and feed him today. After the meal, don't forget to bathe him and make sure he is clean."

The mute slave widened his eyes and pointed at himself in disbelief.

"Yes, it's you! Why? You don't want to?"

The mute slave quickly shook his head and happily carried the food in.

Nanny Li dragged Su Li to the bathroom.

"Miss, hurry up and take a shower. Don't be lazy and idly wait on the millstone. The world is vast, but serious matters are the most important! You don't like being served outside, don't worry, I will clean up everyone in the inner courtyard and prepare all the necessary clothes. Miss, feel free to do your work! No one will disturb you!"

Su Li didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

……

In the main room, a mute slave brought in food.

Although he stayed in Qingshan Court today, he did not step into Pei Heng's room.

He is Pei Heng's most loyal deputy general.

Pei Heng's personal guards had been completely wiped out in that brutal battle. He and several other brothers had been on official business and hadn't joined the battle. Because of this, they had luckily managed to survive.

At first, everyone said that Pei Heng had died in battle.

He didn't believe it.

He led several of his brothers, risking their lives to cross the border, go behind enemy lines, and finally find a deserted village where they saw Pei Heng, who had been brutally tortured. At the time, the mountains were covered in snow and ice for thousands of miles. Pei Heng was covered in wounds, had been force-fed feces and urine, and was left among a pile of corpses.

The enemy thought he was doomed.

Yet he survived.

They took turns carrying him, and it took them nearly a month to get back to Daqi.

After returning to Shengjing, they took turns serving him day and night.

After Pei Heng woke up, his mental state was not very normal and his temper was very bad. He spent the whole day either cursing at the people around him or crying and shouting that he wanted to die.

They endured it silently.

This iron-blooded man did not yield in the face of the enemy's inhumane abuse, but he went mad when he returned to his home.

They often sat together at night and cried silently. The next day, they wiped away their tears and continued to endure Pei Heng's insults and madness.

He knew the general felt bad about being crippled, so if scolding made him feel better, he would rather let the general scold him every day.

……

The mute slave's hands were shaking as he held the food.

For nearly three years, he had only been serving in the outer courtyard and had never seen the general.

Today, we are finally meeting.

"who are you?"

Pei Heng lay in bed all day.

In the past, I lay down every day waiting to die and didn’t feel that the time was long.

But ever since Su Li left the house today, he began to wonder why the room was so empty.

Why is the bed so big?

Why am I so hungry?

Why is the door so far away?

Why isn’t it dark yet?

The Yong'an Marquis Mansion is not far away, why is the carriage moving so slowly?

Is she going to leave and never come back?

That shouldn't be the case. The maids stayed behind and didn't take anything away from the room.

He got through a difficult day looking at the traces of her left in the house.

He eagerly hoped that Su Li would come back soon.

But in the afternoon, I clearly heard some noise and her voice, but it seemed very busy and chaotic outside, and she didn't even come to see me.

Really.

Does she still remember that she has a husband?

Does she still remember that she is Pei Heng's wife?

Does she still remember that he is waiting for her?

It was not until dusk that the door creaked open.

A blurry figure walked in.

He thought it was Su Li and was very happy, but he soon found out that it was not.

A man came in. He was tall and strong, walking with a limp, holding food in his hand.

"Aba Aba!"

The mute slave was hunched over, his hair hanging loose, covering half of his face. The general did not recognize him.

"Are you the mute slave she mentioned?"

Pei Heng was a little disappointed.

"Abba!"

The mute slave was very strong and picked up Pei Heng like a chick. As soon as he touched Pei Heng's skinny body, his eyes couldn't help but redden.

The general is a brave and powerful general!

How did you become so thin?

Those four maids are really inhuman!

The Marquis’ wife is even less of a human being!

Except for the young lady, everyone in the Marquis' Mansion is a fucking non-human!

Tears as big as beans fell on Pei Heng. Pei Heng was stunned for a moment. He looked up and was stunned in an instant.

"You, you, you are Liancheng?"

When Pei Heng called out his real name, the mute slave was shocked and could no longer control his tears.

“Aba Aba!!!”

The mute slave held Pei Heng and placed him on the edge of the bed. He then knelt down in front of the bed and bowed down to him!

"Get up, get up! Get up quickly."

Pei Heng couldn't help but feel excited when he saw his old friend. Unfortunately, he could only nod his head desperately.

Liancheng's body, which was as big as a mountain, was now like a wounded beast, lying on the bed and crying loudly. It was not until a long time later, when he had cried enough, that he wiped his tears.

But when he got up, he made a lot of noise, and with a "bang", he knocked over the food on the bedside table...
