Never divorce, never stop getting rich

After much deliberation, Su Guang, the chief steward of the Marquis's mansion, decided to immediately go to the residence of the Marquis' closest aide.

In addition to some old ministers of the previous emperor surrounding the Marquis, there are two people of the younger generation who are most trusted by the Marquis. One of them is Dong Shuo, a descendant of the founding general Dong Zaiwu, who is currently in the army and has not returned.

The other person was the branch left behind by the Marquis’ grandmother’s family, that is, the family of Empress Yan, the mother of the deposed Crown Prince.

When the crown prince was deposed, Empress Yan's family, the Duke's Mansion, was also implicated. Although the entire family was not executed, they were exiled to the frontier.

After waiting for the late emperor to ascend the throne, the people who had deposed the crown prince began to take action again, and then they secretly brought some members of the Yan family back to the capital to assist the marquis.

Su Guang got off the carriage and didn't even bother to wait for the notification. He just ran inside with his robe in hand.

Yan Sui was dealing with recent affairs with his confidant. Before they could even start chatting, Su Guang rushed in in a panic and absent-minded manner. Before he could open his mouth to ask, Su Guang spoke first.

"My Lords, do you know where the Marquis is now?"

Yan Sui was very surprised. Yesterday was the Marquis' wedding night. Several of the Marquis's confidants drank the wedding wine and then went back. Logically, the Marquis should still be resting, so how could he disappear?

"Why? The Marquis didn't come to your place either?"

Su Guang felt a chill in his heart. He hadn't seen the Marquis this morning, and he thought that the Marquis had just used the excuse of taking a break for his wedding to secretly slip away. However, he didn't expect that even Yan Sui and others didn't know where he was going.

"Sir Su, please tell me slowly. What exactly happened?"

Yan Sui knew the situation was serious, but he did not panic. Instead, he remained calm and comforted everyone.

Su Guang wiped the sweat from his forehead and told Yan Sui in detail everything that had happened in the Marquis' Mansion from last night to today, as long as he knew it.

The more Yan Sui listened, the more he felt something was wrong. He had been involved in the Marquis's annexation of the Qian family from beginning to end, and he had even forged some of the evidence.

According to his understanding of the Marquis, the girl from the Qian family was actually useless after she entered the family. He was a little surprised that there was no news of her sudden death this morning.

Not to mention that on such a day, this marquis' wife, who always looked ordinary, could actually cause so many things.

"Now those old fools have taken the words of that woman they captured as an imperial decree and are determined to fight us to the bitter end! But even with all the preparations already made... the Marquis can't even come forward to make a decision..."

Without the Marquis, Su Guang felt like he had lost his backbone.

"No rush, let's first find out what happened last night. I even suspect that something might have happened to the Marquis." Yan Sui thought of the worst outcome.

"No... I can't."

Everyone present here is close to the Marquis, and they all know his strength. Who can harm the Marquis in his mansion?

"You said that Miss Qian sold someone to Chunxiang Tower last night?"

After much thought, Yan Sui decided to start with the abnormal things happening in the Marquis' Mansion.

"Yes, the family portrait is still going on at Chunxianglou. But the origins of this woman are unknown. It is said that Liu Ruyan found her."

This incident happened too suddenly, and Su Guang didn't quite understand the ins and outs of it.

"Who wants to go to Chunxianglou?"

Yan Sui looked up and asked, the empress's spies have been following him too closely lately, and his surname is too conspicuous, so it would be better for him to hide.

"Me! I'll do it!"

A young man jumped out from the side. His family used to be the Prince's Secretary in the palace of the deposed Prince. After the accident, his family sent this only child to the Earl's Mansion.

He actually became his aunt's biological son, and even changed his surname. Now that the Earl's Mansion has secretly joined the Marquis, this only son has become useful.

On the surface, this only child took the marquis out for drinking and having fun every few days, trying to paralyze the empress.

"Yuan Chengzhi?" Yan Sui agreed after a little hesitation. After all, this man had a bad reputation, so it wouldn't be strange for him to go to Chunxianglou.

"Don't worry, I will definitely get the information we want from that girl."

Yuan Chengzhi felt that this task was tailor-made for him. For him, as long as the girls in Chunxianglou paid enough money, there was no news he could not get.

What's more, when Su Guang mentioned that girl, she seemed to be quite pretty, so he was the winner anyway.

Yan Sui asked someone to look for Liu Ruyan again. This woman must know better than anyone else what happened on the Marquis’ wedding night yesterday.

"Butler Su should go back first. At least he can keep that girl from the Qian family steady. After all, the Marquis married her in public. In the eyes of outsiders, she could even represent the Marquis. Isn't that what those old scholars in the academy are planning?

I think this Miss Qian must have her own plans, and there may even be someone behind her giving her advice.

We need to find the Marquis, and we also need to clean up all the mess before he returns so that our original plan can proceed smoothly."

Yan Sui still has some things to explain, so he must secretly return to the Marquis' Mansion to investigate the situation inside. The Marquis' disappearance must be due to something going wrong, and the biggest suspect is Qian Qiansui.

But it is impossible for her to accomplish anything by herself, otherwise the people around her would not have been sold out. Then the people who helped her would be traitors to the Marquis' Mansion, and these are the people he would have to deal with first. Whoever dares to betray the Marquis must die.

Su Guang had a clearer mind after this trip, so he hurried back just like when he came.

Qian Qiansui learned from the family photo that Su Guang had left the house and might have gone to the house of the Marquis's confidant. She only paid a brief attention to it and then threw it aside.

No matter what choice she makes now, she is the biggest suspect in the Marquis's Mansion. The Marquis disappeared on his wedding night and his whereabouts are unknown, but she, who should have been poisoned to death, is alive and well and active everywhere. Anyone would find her behavior suspicious.

But what could they do to her? She had neither killed nor kidnapped the Marquis, so they had no evidence to use against her.

In addition, she went out in such a high-profile manner today that the Empress's people might have reported her whereabouts to the Empress long ago. If the dogs around the Marquis wanted to bite her, they would have to consider whether they would be exposed. It is impossible that the Marquis disappeared and the Marquis's wife died right after.

"What are you looking at? Let them go! I want to know who locked up my dowry, who falsely passed on the Marquis' order, and whose bride locked up her dowry right after she got married.

What? You want to kill me for money? You are putting the Marquis in an unjust position. If this matter gets to know about it and then reports to His Majesty, how will you let the Marquis deal with it? "

Seeing that Qian Qiansui didn't care about Su Guang's whereabouts at all, the whole family felt a little more confident. It seemed that the lady really had the support of the Marquis, otherwise how could she be so fearless.

"Hurry up, let Madam tell you a few more times, if you do something like this, you will be punished by the Marquis!"

The maids who were in charge of these dowries also felt wronged. The order was given by the maid in charge of the imperial concubine, but if they dared to speak out, they would lose their lives tomorrow.

They didn't understand what the masters in this mansion were talking about, and they didn't understand why the orders kept changing every day, but they definitely couldn't escape the blame.
