Chapter 14

Seeing her girl's careless look, Zi Yan immediately said anxiously: "My good girl, how long has it been? Do you still care about this? The Marquis's affairs are the big deal right now."

Li Man'er said calmly and calmly: "What's the rush? The fun is coming soon!"

"A good show?" Lu Yi was confused and couldn't help but ask Zi Yan in a low voice, "Didn't the girl understand?" She thought Li Man'er was the one who only knew how to fool around.

"Don't talk nonsense." Even a maid like her understands the truth, so why doesn't the girl understand? Zi Yan just doesn't understand what the girl means by "good show".

"I'm hungry, Lu Yi, go and bring me some snacks, preferably another bowl of milk."

"Oh!" Lu Yi nodded, turned around and went down to arrange food.

When Lu Yi left the door, she called the little girl in the courtyard and asked her to go to the kitchen to bring some snacks and milk. She herself stood guard at the door, staring at the pots of rose flowers on the porch in a daze.

Inside the house.

"Girl, do you have something to say to this slave?"

"My father was plotted against me, and I'm afraid I will have to bear the blame in the end."

Zi Yan took a breath of cold air and was speechless, "Girl, girl, what should we do now? Who wants to harm you?"

The crime of patricide is to be punished by being beheaded. If there is no deep hatred, who would make such a plan?

"What do you think?" Li Man'er closed her eyes and rested her mind, already planning an escape plan in her mind.

"Yes..." Zi Yan was afraid of causing trouble to Li Man'er, so she quickly swallowed the last two words. Walls have ears, she understood this truth.

Zi Yan took two deep breaths, as if she had made up her mind, "Girl, what if... I mean what if. What if something happens to the Marquis, and this matter is framed on the girl's head and she can't take it off."

, that slave is willing to take the blame for the girl."

Li Man'er glanced at her and said calmly: "We didn't inflict the poison, so why should we take the blame?"

At this time, a group of guards wearing armor and holding weapons stood neatly outside the gate of the Tiedanhou Mansion. Their expressions were solemn, their eyes were shining, and their aura was exuding. At a glance, people knew that they were elites and should not be underestimated.

.

Li Shu's two lieutenants and their men surrounded the Tiedanhou Mansion tightly, fearing that someone would break into the house and commit murder.

Just an hour ago, Tiedan Hou Li Shu suddenly got poisoned on the way to the Xishan Camp. He fell straight from his horse and was almost trampled to death by the horse that caught up from behind.

The subordinates around him reacted quickly enough and flew to grab the reins, temporarily saving his life.

When they helped Li Shu up, they discovered that Li Shu's eyes were tightly closed, his lips were blue, and his pulse was much weaker.

Li Shu's personal guards were with him from birth to death and had seen big scenes. When they saw Li Shu acting like this, they knew that he was poisoned. They quickly asked their close associates to send a message back and let the government prepare first. They were the ones who robbed Li Shu.

A carriage dropped a money bag, lifted Li Shu onto the carriage, and hurried back.

The imperial doctor had been waiting in the mansion for a long time. As soon as Li Shuren came back, he was immediately sent to Qingshu Pavilion at the front.

Qingshu Pavilion is Li Shu's study, and it is also a military base. On weekdays, it is not accessible to idlers. Cui ordered people to guard the main room and cleared out the wings on both sides. One side was used as a ward, and the other side was used as a ward.

For rest purposes.

Mrs. Guo, her daughter Li Zhaoer, and the eldest son Li Qingyun were all standing around outside the ward, waiting anxiously for the news. Mrs. Bai, the second wife's wife, also came over accompanied by her eldest son Li Qingzhou.

"Sister-in-law, how is Mr. Hou?"

Guo's eyes were red, "I don't know yet, but the imperial doctor and several other doctors are inside!"

Bai's words were sincere: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, Mr. Hou and Ji Ren have their own destiny, and everything will be fine."

"I'm borrowing good words from my siblings."

Bai turned her head slightly, not seeing Li Man'er, "The eldest lady isn't there?"

A flash of dissatisfaction flashed across Guo's eyes. How long had it been? She still hadn't forgotten to provoke her. Just as she was about to smooth things over in an understatement, she heard someone behind her say dissatisfiedly: "Second aunt, don't mention it now. Eldest sister is busy right now."

It’s time to eat! I heard people say that Qing Pingxuan just went to the big kitchen to get some snacks and milk, and he was really big-hearted."

The person speaking was not a human being, but Li Zhaoer.

"Zhao'er." Mrs. Guo frowned and said, "Don't talk nonsense." How long have you been adding to the chaos?

"I'm not talking nonsense!" Although Li Zhaoer was not convinced, he did not talk back again.

Mrs. Bai was very considerate and said: "My sister-in-law is very sexual, Zhao'er just told the truth, my eldest sister... we all know it."

"I wonder what Second Auntie knows about me."

Several people looked up and found that Li Man'er had stood at the Moon Gate at some point, and by chance, he heard what they just said.

Bai was a little embarrassed and didn't know how much she had heard.

Li Zhaoer rolled his eyelids and whispered: "The ghost is still here."

"Second sister, what you said is so boring. I didn't come, and you said you were arrogant; but when I came, you said that I'm still haunted. You've been left to say all these good and bad things by yourself, so should I come, or not?

It's time to come!" Li Man'er scolded her in a low voice with a straight face, "My father has not yet turned the corner, so you are still thinking of spouting nonsense."

"I didn't." Li Zhaoer's eyes turned red. She didn't understand how Li Man'er just went to the eldest princess's mansion and turned into someone she didn't recognize when he came back.

It is clearly organized and every word hits the key points. It is really powerful.

Ms. Bai was also stunned for a moment. She was always well-informed in the mansion, so naturally she also received rumors about Li Maner's dramatic change in temperament. But no matter how exciting the rumors were, how could they be as shocking as seeing them face to face!

"Second Aunt." Li Man'er smiled nonchalantly at Bai, "My face is blooming?"

Bai quickly came back to her senses. She was very deep and there was no displeasure on her face. "I was just in a daze for a moment, and you grew up in the blink of an eye..." Chuuluo looked like Ning.

"Brothers and sisters, now is not the time for small talk." Guo is the Marquis's wife after all, and will not fight with Bai at this time. She can still distinguish the priorities.

Mrs. Bai also came to her senses, "Sister-in-law said, I came here just to see if there is anything I can do to help."

"Mr. Zheng is already inside, as are several well-known doctors in the capital. Let's not cause trouble. It's just that I have to go to my mother's place, and I have to bother my siblings."

Of course, Mrs. Bai was not dissatisfied, "Sister-in-law is thoughtful, so I will go."

At the same time, Mrs. Cui was questioning Li Wenchang in Songhe Hall.

Li Wenchang is Li Shu's confidant, just like half of his son. Li Shu saved his life in the first place, so he is loyal to Li Shu.

"I called you here to ask about the Marquis's poisoning." Ms. Cui's face turned gloomy, but she was still in good spirits. "Please tell me the whereabouts of the Marquis today in detail. Don't miss anything."

Li Wenchang quickly clasped his fists and said, "Yes, old lady."
