So, who was behind the poisoning? And who caused her premature birth?

What happened in the middle?

In particular, why was it that the isolated city, which was heavily guarded and impregnable, was still breached after holding out for thirty-three days?

Numerous doubts crept into Jiang Fugui's mind one after another, like a tangled ball of string, with no clue where to start.

Regarding the fall of the lonely city, Jiang Fugui had secretly investigated it in her previous life, but it always ended in vain. It was as if there was someone behind the scenes who was obstructing her and didn't want her to investigate to the end and find out the truth.

"Miss, Miss, the water is here." Shan Ying came in with water, interrupting Jiang Fugui's contemplation. "What are you thinking about, Miss? But what about the yard outside? I just came back and saw that it's all cleaned up."

"Ah."

Jiang Fugui came back to his senses and responded softly. He took the half-wet handkerchief handed to him by Shan Ying and wiped the blood from his nose. He also cleaned the wound on his face and applied Douyu Gel ointment.

However, after she emerged from the fairyland, she felt exhausted and out of spirits. She forced herself to walk to the bedside and told Shan Ying, "I'm going to take a nap and skip lunch. If anyone comes looking for me, just turn them away. If you have time, tell Grandmother."

"Okay, once the young lady is asleep, I will report to the old lady."

Shan Ying looked at Jiang Fugui's tired face and thought that she didn't sleep well last night and was woken up early in the morning, so she didn't think much about it.

After tucking the quilt for Jiang Fugui and lowering the bed curtains, Shan Ying walked out of the room with some worry.

As dusk approached, Jiang Huagui, who had visited his sister in Cuixia Garden, comforted Jiang Weishi with a few more words and then returned to his Luoxia Garden.

Although Jiang Ronggui is delicate and fragile, she has a good foundation. Apart from some skin injuries, she did not suffer any serious internal injuries after falling from the sedan chair. She only needs to stay in bed and rest to protect her pregnancy.

After all, she was lucky to be alive.

"Zhulan, has my useless second sister been active since returning to Beiliyuan?"

While Jiang Huagui was taking off her accessories, she lazily asked Zhulan who was helping her take off her hair accessories behind her.

Zhulan, reflected in the bronze mirror, was constantly moving her hands. She shook her head and said, "It's strange, but the Second Young Lady hasn't left the courtyard since returning to Beili Garden. Even when several groups of servants arrived this morning, she never left the main house. According to the maid who's been renovating Beili Garden, the Second Young Lady probably slept in the house all day, skipping even lunch! But, I don't know if that's true, as no one has ever gone in to check."

Jiang Huagui scoffed, his expression filled with disdain. "That idiot Jiang Fugui... Humph! I wonder what Mother and Big Sister are so afraid of? If I were to ask me, they really think too highly of her. She's just an orphan with no one to rely on. Why should she be afraid?"

Zhulan couldn't help but remind her, "No matter what, the second young lady did ruin the eldest young lady's marriage two days ago..."

"That's because Big Sister is stupid and gave others a handle to use against her."

"That's right, how can the eldest lady be compared to the young lady! After all, the young lady will marry into the Crown Prince's Mansion and become the Crown Princess in the future!"

When Jiang Huagui heard the words "Crown Princess", he smiled shyly, but it quickly disappeared and was replaced by a cold and sinister smile.

Slowly raising his hands and admiring his newly painted nails, Jiang Huagui spoke in a low, deep voice, "I thought that with the help of Big Sister, I could quietly get rid of that little bitch Jiang Fugui; and then use the marriage to get Big Sister to live in the backyard of the Marquis' Mansion, so that I can sit back and relax and marry into the Prince's Mansion. However, who could have imagined that Big Sister was actually a worthless scum even worse than Jiang Fugui!"
