Chu Jinxun thought about it carefully and it seemed to be true.

Before he was ten, he had nearly died several times, falling off a rockery, falling into a lotus pond, being bullied and beaten by young eunuchs, and suddenly having a stomachache after eating something...

But in the end, they will always be rescued.

After many times, he was able to avoid it. After he turned ten, this situation still occurred, but he was able to avoid it. But what did it matter? The poison in his body alone was enough to torture him.

"Then do you know who is behind this?"

Chu Jinxun's eyes were dark: "If this thing succeeds, whoever benefits the most will be the one!"

"for example?"

"If you really fell for the trick, the Eighth Brother will be demoted. The Eighth Brother and the Sixth Brother are in the same camp, and the Sixth Brother wouldn't be so foolish as to cut off his own arm! Then the only one left is the Second Brother. The Second Brother's mother is Concubine Cheng, and he married the daughter of Imperial Tutor Qin. He has a good reputation outside. He and the Sixth Brother are both vying for the position of Crown Prince!"

He paused, the darkness in his eyes growing thicker: "It's also possible that there are others!"

Yan Xining laughed and said, "I heard that you only found out a year ago that you had a fiancée who was engaged a long time ago, and before that, you knew nothing about it?"

Chu Jinxun nodded: "Well, it is said that your mother and my mother were good friends in the boudoir, and they were engaged at birth!"

"Did you hear anyone say that a year ago?"

"no!"

"Is it possible that this so-called arranged marriage is a fabrication?" Yan Xining said with a smile, "Anyway, my mother died a long time ago, and your mother also passed away a long time ago!"

Chu Jinxun turned his head to look at her with a deep gaze. He knew that he had thought about this a year ago when he suddenly learned about the engagement.

But now, after hearing what Yan Xining said, he suddenly became nervous: "You, do you blame me?"

"What's your fault?"

"If it weren't for this, you wouldn't have to be forced to get married for me. You could have married a normal husband and lived a stable life!"

Yan Xining's eyelashes twitched slightly. Indeed, if it were not for this, her original body would not have been taken back to the capital in a hurry. Perhaps she could find an ordinary man in the countryside and live a peaceful life.

She wouldn't even know that she was the eldest daughter of the Weiyuan Marquis's Mansion.

But these have nothing to do with the person in front of him! He was not the one who schemed, nor was he the one who killed the original body!

She blinked, her eyelashes fluttering like butterflies. "If it weren't for this, I wouldn't be able to return to the capital and would have lived in poverty in the countryside my whole life. I have to be grateful because of this marriage, which allows me to leave there and live the life I want!"

There seems to be some comfort in these words?

Is she coaxing herself?

Chu Jinxun's heart suddenly warmed up, and even the depth in his eyes became much less.

But Yan Xining's question seemed to scratch the surface, revealing something bloody before his eyes. He looked at the girl in front of him again. She was really smart. She had only been in the capital for a little over three months, and she had thought of this.

His voice dropped. "If I get married and have children, my 'illness' will only get worse, until it's incurable! If I have a secret, I'll definitely pass it on to my children! And I can die."

His tone became difficult. "After I die, my children will still be young. He'll trust whoever raises him and is close to him. And who else can he trust more than his dearest grandfather?"

"Or maybe, even if I didn't leave behind any children, but the princess and I had a good relationship, I might tell her. After my death, the princess would be alone and helpless, and would definitely get close to her family. If she learned a big secret, she would definitely tell her parents in the end..."

He raised his eyes, a bitter smile flashing on his lips. On his handsome face, which was as carefully painted as a painter, desolation and sadness, self-mockery and sarcasm coexisted.

"But that person probably didn't expect that Marquis Weiyuan couldn't bear to part with his most beloved daughter, and instead chose you to marry her off..."

Perhaps today's incident is a follow-up to this incident? It's only been two months, and you can't wait any longer?

The two looked at each other without saying a word.

Regardless of whether it is true or not, they can no longer speculate on what will happen next, and they can’t mention that name either!

Only a trace of silence remained between the two of them.

Yan Xueqi returned to Weiyuan Marquis Mansion and smashed the entire set of tea sets and all the furnishings in the room.

Such a loud noise startled Tian Jiaying who was talking to her beloved son Yan Luchang.

The mother and son hurried over and saw the mess in the room. Tian Jiaying was shocked and said, "What happened? Qi'er, didn't you go to the Spring Festival Banquet? Didn't you have a good time at the banquet?"

Yan Luchang also frowned: "Sister, who made you unhappy?"

He was fifteen years old and had been studying in the academy, only coming back during holidays.

This spring banquet happened to be on a holiday, so he went too. However, he was with his classmates from the academy and had no idea what was happening with the female members of the family.

This shows that the Zou family's control over this information is still very thorough.

Yan Xueqi threw herself into Tian Jiaying's arms and sobbed, "Mom, I don't want to go to any banquets anymore. It's all because of that damn country bumpkin!"

Tian Jiaying's eyelids twitched: "Yan Xining?"

"It's her. If it weren't for her, how could I be alienated by the Sixth Prince?"

The Sixth Prince had rescued her before, but her appearance in the pavilion and her argument with Yan Xining made those people look at her with suspicion no matter what. The Zou family servants found the broken cup she threw away in the bushes, which seemed more like an attempt to destroy evidence.

Although she was not held accountable due to her status as the legitimate daughter of the Weiyuan Marquisate, when she left, the Sixth Prince looked cold and indifferent: "Second Miss, I'm very busy right now. We should not meet for the time being!"

This was like a bolt from the blue for Yan Xueqi.

She had made several appointments with the Sixth Prince before, and it was clear that he had the intention of marrying her.

Now the Sixth Prince has suddenly changed his attitude and said that we should not meet for the time being. Isn’t it obvious?

Everything was fine, but because of today's incident.

But what happened today clearly had nothing to do with her.

It’s because of Yan Xining.

If Yan Xining hadn't deliberately provoked the relationship between her, Qi Mingyu and the other two, why would she be so angry and go find someone to argue with?

If Yan Xining didn't go into the pavilion, how could she follow him there?

If she wasn't angry, why would she have knocked over Yan Xining's cup of tea? If she had known earlier, she should have let her drink it and made a fool of herself, a big fool of herself! Why would she want to cover up the broken cup?

If she hadn't been slapped by Yan Xining, why would she have taken a detour when she saw Shen Qingyuan and Xiang Qing?

If she showed up openly, no one would suspect her!

In short, all this is because of Yan Xining!

After hearing her exaggeration, crying and cursing as she recounted what had happened, Tian Jiaying was so angry that she gnashed her teeth.

Does this country bumpkin really think that she doesn't have to take the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion seriously just because she marries a sickly man?

Yes, that sick guy dotes on her, but if...

Tian Jiaying patted Yan Xueqi's shoulder gently: "Qier, the Sixth Prince misunderstood you. Misunderstandings can be resolved. Our Qier is such a good girl. As long as you see him a few more times, he will still care. As for that country girl, mother will definitely vent her anger for you!"

"really?"

"Don't worry!" Tian Jiaying's eyes were filled with venom: "When has mother ever lied to you?"

Yan Luchang's face was also gloomy. He suddenly said, "Mother, why bother with all this? I have a plan. I guarantee that this bitch will be ruined!"

He is the only son of Marquis Weiyuan and will be named the Crown Prince at the age of 18. Such a person does not need to study hard. The academy he enters is also full of children of nobles like him.

"Really?" Both mother and daughter looked at him.

Yan Luchang snorted and laughed: "Dare to bully my sister, I won't let her go!"
