Destroy the scumbag husband, beat the bitch, the reborn legitimate daughter overturns the entire cap

Upon hearing this, Mu Chang'an's heart skipped a beat. How did this involve his wife? With Xin Yao suffering from a rash, what help could his wife possibly offer?

"Get up first. What's wrong with Xinyao? Why are you crying here for no reason?"

Hearing Mu Chang'an's displeasure, Aunt Song wiped away her tears and said, "Master, it's been two days already, and we've used some medicine, but Xin Yao's rash still hasn't appeared. The family physician came just now, and he's also puzzled. The rash should have appeared yesterday, but for some reason, it's been delayed until now without any symptoms!"

"Then let the royal physician come again. What help can a mere woman like you be?"

"Yes, sir. I was just too anxious. Go and fetch the physician again."

"Yes, Madam. I went to fetch the physician, but the servant in the outer courtyard said he was taken away by Madam and hasn't returned yet, even after half an hour." The maid named Lining replied somewhat fearfully, then lowered her head and remained silent.

"Go again? Does the imperial physician think he can stay in Jinyuan forever? This is the backyard!" Aunt Song was ostensibly scolding the little maid, but to Mu Chang'an, her words carried a different meaning.

The newly arrived physician from the prefectural hospital has gone to Jin Yuan? And it's still almost half an hour away? How is that possible? My wife comes from a prestigious family and is a renowned talented woman; her reputation has remained impeccable for many years! She would never do anything out of line.

However, despite his thoughts, he was still somewhat uneasy. Upon seeing Mu Xinyao's expression, he snorted coldly and headed directly towards Jinyuan.

"How is it? Is everything arranged?"

"Don't worry, Auntie, everything is settled."

"Was there any trace left?" Aunt Song always felt uneasy, her heart was always in turmoil, especially when she thought of Mu Xin Nuan's clear and bright eyes, she always felt guilty!

Aunt Song shook her head slightly. Why would she suddenly be afraid of a child? She probably never imagined that she had already put medicine in the doctor's tea. Now that the master had gone over, it was almost certain that he would be catching his lover in the act.

As soon as Mu Chang'an entered the Jin Courtyard, he noticed that there were fewer servants than usual, with only a few unfamiliar faces remaining. They were far away by the south wall, fiddling with a few bamboo poles. This made Mu Chang'an uneasy. He stood on the bluestone floor and glanced in the direction of the bedroom. He didn't know why, but he suddenly didn't want to go any further.

After hesitating for a moment, he strode down to the corridor and heard that it was unusually quiet inside. Upon closer inspection, he found that all the windows in the north room were tightly closed! This made Mu Chang'an even more uneasy!

Once the curtain was lifted and they went inside, they saw several old women waiting in the main room. From the inner room, there seemed to be groans coming from time to time, but upon closer listening, they sounded more like the groans of a child.

"Greetings to the master."

Mu Chang'an ignored them and went straight into the inner room. He saw Li Shi wiping away her tears with a handkerchief, and a small figure lying on the bed. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Mu Qingyuan!

Meanwhile, the newly arrived physician was taking Mu Qingyuan's pulse.

"what happened?"

"My lord, I don't know either. The two children were practicing calligraphy in the west room, and I didn't see anything wrong. But then, for some reason, A-Nuan said that A-Yuan's face was a little red. When I looked, it seemed like he had a fever, so I sent someone to fetch Doctor Liu. Isn't that right?"

"Where's Anuan?" Mu Chang'an looked around but couldn't find his eldest daughter, and asked with some confusion.

"Doctor Liu said he suspected it was a rash, so I had someone bring A-Nuan back to Yuexuan. After all, it is a serious illness, and A-Nuan has only just recovered. I don't want her to suffer from the illness again."

As he spoke, Doctor Liu withdrew his hand and bowed to Mu Chang'an, saying, "Reporting to Master, the Second Young Master only has a fever, and judging from the looks of it, it's unlikely to come down tonight. We've already given him some medicine to help him cool down. Right now, the most important thing is to prevent the rash from coming out, so the Second Young Master can only endure it like this."

"Ah Yuan has started getting a rash too? Oh well, it's normal for a child to get a rash. Maybe he caught it from Xin Yao."

“Master, this rash has stopped appearing after it started. But most noble people rarely get rashes! How come both of our young masters have suddenly developed rashes? If we don’t take good care of them, they might scratch their faces, which would be troublesome,” Madam Li said worriedly.

"You're right, this is indeed strange! Doctor Liu, is there no other good way? I heard that Xinyao hasn't developed a rash yet, even after two days?"

Doctor Liu hesitated for a moment, seemingly wondering whether he should speak. Mu Chang'an, with his keen eyesight, naturally noticed this hesitation!

"what happened?"

"Reporting to you, sir, from what I see, the rash on the second young master's body seems more like it was transmitted from the second young lady. It doesn't seem like he developed it himself. If he developed it himself, he would definitely have developed a few red spots first, just like the second young lady, and then develop a fever on the same day or the next day. But now the second young master's symptoms are fever directly, but the rash hasn't appeared yet."

"You mean someone deliberately infected A-Yuan with the rash?"

"Yes, sir."

Madam Li was startled and then understood. "Someone, summon everyone who has been in contact with the Second Young Master these past two days to a place for the Master to question. Also, collect everything the Second Young Master came into contact with today! And send someone to burn moxa at the Eldest Miss's Moon Pavilion, to make sure no one else contracts this terrible disease."

"Yes, ma'am."

Mu Chang'an was naturally very satisfied with Li's arrangements. He left someone to look after Mu Qingyuan and then went to the corridor to ask questions.

After some questioning, Mu Qingyuan's wet nurse's eyes seemed to flicker, a movement that naturally did not escape Mu Chang'an's notice. With a wink, Madam Li understood and immediately had Mu Qingyuan's wet nurse brought out.

"Little Granny Liu, you are the wet nurse of the Second Young Master, an old servant of this household, and the younger sister of Granny Liu who serves the Second Young Miss. Tell me, how could the Second Young Master, a perfectly healthy person, have contracted such a terrible disease?"

The young nanny, Liu, was so frightened that her legs went weak and she knelt on the ground. "Madam, spare me! Madam, spare me! This...this was all ordered by Concubine Song, it has nothing to do with me!"

Everyone was stunned, especially Madam Li. "Nonsense! Concubine Song is the second young master's biological mother. How could she possibly plot against her own son? Do you really think the master and I will believe your nonsense?"

“This servant dares not lie. It was Concubine Song who had someone take the handkerchief that the Second Miss had used and found this servant, and then had this servant give it to the Second Young Master.”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked!

Aunt Song murdered her own son? That's too horrifying!
