The entire Marquis's mansion regrets it? Too late, their little one has become the darling of t

Chen Dongxi swallowed nervously.

“He gave my father one tael of silver to buy meat. Then he asked my father to apply medicine to him and then sent him back up the mountain.”

Upon hearing her words, the head constable's expression instantly changed.

He sent people to inquire among the neighbors and found that Chen Dahu had indeed gone up the mountain again.

It was pitch black, and they couldn't see clearly, but it looked like he was carrying someone on his back.

"Let's go. It must be him. Let's hurry up the mountain. I was wondering why I couldn't find him. Turns out he was hiding in the mountains!" The constable immediately led his men to search the mountain.

About half an hour after they left.

Chen Dongxi just went to the cellar and told Yu Kangjing.

"Uncle Shen, they've left."

"Thank you, Xi'er." Yu Kangjing breathed a sigh of relief.

But he quickly frowned again.

I wonder if Chen Dahu will be able to evade those soldiers tonight.

……

While Yu Kangjing was facing numerous dangers, the Marquis's residence was not faring much better.

As soon as Shen Jinzhu and Cui Ruixin returned to the manor, they heard the news that Consort Chun had miscarried and the Marquis was furious.

Shen Jinzhu had no intention of getting involved in the affairs of the eldest son's family, so she immediately took her daughter and returned to her own courtyard.

Cui Rui raised an eyebrow smugly.

To my utter surprise, Qiu Chan actually managed to get it done.

Donghe hurriedly stepped forward to report: "Madam, the Marquis requests your presence. Sister Qiuchan is being punished by kneeling."

"Is there any evidence to prove that Qiu Chan is involved?" Cui Ruixin frowned.

Donghe lowered his head and said, "Chunying said that Qiuchan put medicine in her sleeve and then deliberately delayed calling a doctor, causing Aunt Chun to miscarry. Qiuchan said that she did nothing, and that Chunying wanted to become the Marquis's concubine, so she asked her to find out what the Madam was thinking."

Cui Ruixin slightly curled the corners of her lips.

Very well, things are getting more and more interesting.

"Let's go, let's go see. Even when beating a dog, you have to consider its owner. My person did nothing wrong, why are they punishing her?" Cui Ruixin's face darkened as she went to Chunque's courtyard.

As soon as she entered the door, she was met with a furious rebuke from Marquis Yu Kangping.

"Madam Cui, I thought you had reformed, but I never expected you to condone the servants' murder of my child and Chunque's child. How can you, as the mistress of the household, lack even this much tolerance?"

Cui Ruixin's fingernails snapped instantly in anger.

She said with a stern face, "The Marquis says I condoned the servants' actions that led to the death of this concubine Chun's unborn child. Do you have any evidence?"

"The doctor examined the medicine on Chunying's sleeve and found it can cause a miscarriage. What excuse do you have?" Yu Kangping was furious.

"She has medicine on her sleeve, what does that have to do with my maid?" Cui Ruixin sneered.

“She had previously begged Qiu Chan to come and beg me, saying she wanted to become the Marquis’s concubine. After all, her younger sister had become a mistress while she was still just a maid, and she felt bad about it. I was initially unwilling.”

“But I thought that if I agreed, the Marquis would be happier, and it would also ease the tension between my husband and me. So I thought about it for two days before having Qiu Chan tell him that I agreed.”

“No, I never wanted to become the Marquis’s concubine.” Chunying knelt on the ground and shook her head frantically.

She never imagined that all of this was a series of elaborate schemes.

She thought they only wanted to harm her sister's unborn child, but she never imagined they wanted to tear the sisters' relationship apart.

Cui Ruixin wiped away her tears, looking heartbroken.

“My lord, we have been husband and wife for many years, and I cannot bear to become strangers with you, which is why I have been thinking about how to win you back. I think I went too far before, so I want to make it up to you by letting you take a concubine. Anyway, you have already taken one, so what difference does one more make? As long as my lord is happy, that’s all that matters.”

Yu Kangping was moved by her words.

This statement is reasonable.

"No, I really didn't!" Chunying saw the deep disbelief in her sister's eyes and shook her head desperately.

"Sparrow, trust your sister, I won't hurt you."

But Chunque had just lost her child and was at her most vulnerable. At the time when she left home, she had already heard Cui Ruixin and Qiu Chan's hurtful words.

Qiu Chan seized the opportunity to add fuel to the fire: "My lord, my lady, everything I have said is true. When Chunying and I served my lady at the same time, she once told me that she admired you, my lord. She even secretly kept many of your calligraphy works."

Chunying was dumbfounded, never expecting that she could so easily distort the truth.

Those calligraphy copybooks were given to her casually when the lady of the house said that her head maids couldn't be illiterate and that they should be taught to read.

"No, no, that's not how it is," Chunying murmured in despair.

She no longer knew how to defend herself.

Chunque gave a wink to her other maid, Xiaotao.

Xiao Tao understood and quickly ran to Chun Ying's room to search, and sure enough, she found the Marquis's calligraphy.

When Chunque saw this, she was heartbroken and threw the calligraphy copybook on the ground, looking at her sister with unbearable pain.

"Sister, if you just say the word, I can plead with the Marquis for you. Why did you kill my child?"

"I didn't, I didn't." Chunying was numb and could only repeat this sentence.

Chunque looked at the Marquis pitifully: "My lord, our child is gone. Waaaaah."

Looking at her young face, Yu Kangping felt a pang of heartache.

"It's okay, you're still young, and you'll have many more children in the future."

He then looked at Chunying and frowned: "As for you, my older sister..."

A flash of resentment crossed Chunque's eyes, but she still grabbed his hand: "Please, Lord Marquis, spare my sister's life. I have already lost one relative, but I cannot lose another. Please grant her wish."

After saying that, she buried her head in the Marquis's arms and began to sob.

"You're just too kind. Since that's the case, I'll do as you say." Yu Kangping sighed and agreed.

Cui Ruixin interjected at the opportune moment: "I will take care of this matter for the Marquis."

"There's no need for a big fuss. Just take her into your room and serve her." Yu Kangping waved his hand, rejecting the suggestion to hold a small celebration.

"After all, she killed my child. It's already a blessing for her to serve me. She shouldn't even dream of anything more."

Upon hearing this, a hint of smugness flashed in Chun Que's eyes.

It seems that the Marquis values ​​her more.

Even though her older sister has become a concubine, she will never surpass her.

Chunying kept staring at her, and when she saw the look of great revenge on her face, her heart sank.

The lady's scheme to sow discord was successful.

She and Que'er could never go back to the way things were.

Cui Ruixin softened her tone, a rare occurrence: "Yes, I'll do as you say, Lord Marquis. Would you like to come to my courtyard tonight? I have some good news to tell you."

"What good news?" Yu Kangping asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Master Qiuyue said he wants to take Weiwei as his disciple." Cui Ruixin told him this with a smile.

"Master Qiuyue? Is that the nationally renowned qin player, Gong Qiuyue?" Yu Kangping looked incredulous.

This master was greatly favored by the Empress Dowager, and if she could become her disciple, it would only benefit her daughter.

“Exactly.” Cui Ruixin nodded.

"My lord, come back to my courtyard with me, and I'll tell you everything slowly."

“Okay.” Yu Kangping immediately agreed.

"Little Sparrow, you should rest well. I will come to see you again tomorrow." He turned around and patted Spring Sparrow's head.

"I will wait for you." Chunque reluctantly let go of his hand and watched him leave.

……

Three days later.

The Marquis's mansion finally made a decision, handing Yu Ruowei over to Gong Qiuyue, asking her to take her back to Chunhua Mountain to practice her zither skills.

Yu Kangjing, thousands of miles away, was also trying to evade his pursuers and rush back to the capital.
