The legitimate daughter returns, and everyone in the Marquis's mansion regrets and begs for for

The servant quietly pulled out the stopper and then sprayed some powder at Su Muya, which quickly spread.

Su Muya fainted upon smelling the pungent odor, collapsing limply in the carriage. Steward Liu quickly instructed the driver to drive the carriage away.

When Su Muya woke up, it was already evening. She tried to get up, but the movement aggravated her wound, causing her to break out in a cold sweat from the pain.

Butler Liu was sitting not far away looking at the account books. Hearing the noise, he looked up, glanced at Su Muya, and said, "Miss is awake!"

"Hmm!" Su Muya responded, then lifted the curtain and stepped down.

Su Muya looked around and found that it was a carriage, and there was no one else besides Steward Liu.

"Butler Liu, where is my father? I need to find him!" Su Muya grabbed Butler Liu's hand excitedly and pleaded.

Butler Liu patted Su Muya's hand and said earnestly, "Miss, don't worry, Prime Minister Su is alright. We're on our way back now."

"Then... what about my brother? They didn't do anything to my brother, did they?" Su Muya asked anxiously.

“This…” Butler Liu hesitated.

Su Muya looked at Butler Liu, feeling a little scared.

"This..." Butler Liu continued to hesitate.

Su Muya's heart skipped a beat, and she said, "Butler Liu, please speak frankly, I can't bear this!"

"Oh! Well, let me tell you then. Your father is fine, but your younger brother has been detained at the county government office by your uncle. Your uncle is an official, and he has close ties with Lord Wang, so your father can't do anything about it."

After Butler Liu finished speaking, Su Muya slumped stiffly into her chair.

Butler Liu sighed and said, "Alas! I will do my best to help you resolve this matter. Just focus on recovering."

After saying this, Steward Liu instructed the maids and servants below to take good care of him, and then left the courtyard with a few attendants.

Su Muya slumped into a chair, staring blankly into the void.

She knew that her chances of survival were slim, and her only worry was whether her father was alright.

After Master Liu left, he immediately sent someone back to report to Lord Wang.

Upon receiving the news, Master Wang snorted coldly and said, "Since Su Wende wants to act tough, then I'll play along with him!"

"What does Lord Wang intend to do?" Master Liu asked.

"This matter must not be blown out of proportion, otherwise it will damage my reputation, and that would be terrible." Master Wang frowned. He was currently investigating a case, and if this matter reached the Emperor's ears, it would be absolutely detrimental to his career.

Master Liu said, "But what if Su Wende is tactless and insists on exposing the matter? How should we deal with that?"

Master Wang snorted coldly and said, "I wish he dared! We just need to pin the blame on that bitch Su Muwei."

Then, let's see whose mouth is sealed tight.

Su Muwei?

Master Liu was shocked, never expecting that Lord Wang would try to frame his second wife's daughter. Master Liu cursed inwardly, "You old fox!"

Su Wende is really in big trouble this time! Master Liu shook his head, expressing his sympathy.

When Su Wende returned home and saw his daughter lying on her sickbed, looking like she was on her deathbed, a surge of anger rose within him. He roared, "How have you taken care of Miss? How could you let her get so sick?"

The maidservant immediately knelt on the ground, pleading in fear and trembling, "Master, we have all taken care of Miss with utmost devotion. We have been responsible for her every need, from food to shelter. Her condition suddenly worsened, and we truly have no idea what happened. Please, Master, investigate thoroughly!"

"Slap! Slap!" Su Wende slapped the maid several times hard across the face, pointed at her kneeling on the ground, and said angrily, "A bunch of idiots!"

"Master, the most important thing right now is Miss's life!" Su Wende's personal maid reminded him.

Su Wende was taken aback before realizing that now was not the time for him to be angry or lose his temper.

“Miss’s illness has been delayed for too long. If she had received timely treatment, she might have been cured. But if she has been left untreated for too long, it will be difficult to cure,” the nanny earnestly advised.

Looking at his daughter's pale and haggard face, Su Wende gritted his teeth and said, "Someone come here!"

"master!"

Su Wende's trusted servant entered the room and bowed.

"Go and fetch the doctor!" Su Wende ordered.

"Yes!"

Soon, the doctor was called over. After taking Su Muwei's pulse, his brows furrowed even more deeply.

Su Muwei's condition was more complicated than expected, and the doctors were at a loss.

"Quack doctor! Get out!" Su Wende roared angrily.

The doctor shrank back in fright and slunk away.

"What should we do?" Su Wende panicked. He never expected that his perfectly healthy daughter would end up in such a state, and even be in danger of losing her life.

"Master, don't worry, let's go and discuss it with Lord Wang," Su Wende's wet nurse advised.

Su Wende nodded.

So, a large group of people set off for the county government office.

When Su Wende arrived at the county government office, he happened to run into Steward Liu and Su Muyu, who were coming out of the office.

"Brother Su, what brings you here? What's going on?" Butler Liu asked, looking at the baby in Su Wende's arms with a puzzled expression.

"Steward Liu, do you know why I, Su, have come to the county government office?" Su Wende asked with a dark face.

Steward Liu shook his head and said, "This old man doesn't understand; I hope Brother Su will explain."

“My wife was kidnapped by thugs yesterday and only returned home this morning,” Su Wende said.

Upon hearing this, Su Muya was startled. Could it be that the bandits were really after her?

The words of the people she had met the previous night flashed through her mind.

"Miss, don't worry, I'm here to protect your safety," said Su Muya's personal guard.

Could it be that those people were after her?

"Sister, are you alright?" Su Muyu asked in surprise when she saw Su Muya in Su Wende's arms.

Su Muya coughed twice and said indifferently, "Sister, I'm fine."

Su Wende's face was grim as he coldly said, "Miss Su is fine, but my young lady has fallen ill. How do you suggest we handle this?"

"Sister..." Su Muyu exclaimed in surprise.

"Enough!" Su Muya hissed.

Su Muyu was so frightened that she fell silent, and pouted in grievance.

"Sister, younger sister..."

"Shut up! If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute!" Su Muya scolded. At this moment, she didn't have time to coax Su Muyu, this fool.

Su Muyu was scolded by Su Muya and dared not utter a sound, tears welling up in her eyes.

Seeing this, Su Wende, though dissatisfied with Su Muya's attitude, held back his anger and simply looked at Butler Liu, saying, "Brother Liu, what do you think we should do about this?"
