Jiang Chai said respectfully, "Yes, I will find out for sure."

Jiang Zhinian said: "It would be best if it had two floors, which should be spacious and large enough."

Since it is to be transformed into a book club, the place naturally has to be large enough.

"Yes!"

Jiang Chai was asked to do the job.

Jiang Zhinian writes and draws on paper at night.

She did have a lot of farms and shops, but now a lot of her money had been spent.

She found that she needed to earn more money.

It seems that she needs to shop around a bit more and see what kind of business is good.

Although you already have a plan in mind, you still need to be cautious.

……

At dinner, the old lady sat at the table, looking at the food, without any appetite at all.

I don't want to eat anything.

Mother Zhou advised quietly, "Old Madam, please eat something at least."

"The doctor said that the old lady needs to eat well and rest well in order to maintain good health."

The old lady slammed her chopsticks on the table and said, "I'm so angry."

Mother Zhou looked at the old lady's livid face and felt trembling with fear in her heart.

"If you hadn't done your job well, would I have to be like this?"

Mother Zhou's heart skipped a beat and she became nervous.

The old lady is taking the time to settle the score later!

Mother Zhou didn't dare to speak.

"Mother Zhou, if you hadn't been incompetent, how could the more than one hundred people that my mansion had worked so hard to train have died!"

Those people were trained by the Marquis' Mansion at great expense of money.

And those people are extremely important to the Marquis' Mansion.

Every time the old lady thought about it, she felt heartbroken.

No one ever came back.

She didn't know exactly what happened.

This feeling of not knowing the news is the most panic-stricken.

The old lady always felt that something was out of her control.

But I still can't figure it out no matter how hard I think about it.

Could it be that those people met someone more powerful?

Or has their plan been discovered?

Mother Zhou was startled, and her heart skipped a beat. She quickly knelt down and said, "Old Madam, please understand. I dare not make the decision on my own."

"This old servant followed the old lady's instructions and told the news to their leader Su Hen. I absolutely did not reveal any information."

Mother Zhou was trembling with fear. She felt that the old lady's eyes were cruel when she stared at her.

The old lady wanted to kill her.

Realizing this thought, Mother Zhou was very scared.

"Mother Zhou, I trust you very much, and I hope you can live up to my trust."

"Old Madam, please understand. I have never disclosed the information about those 100 people to anyone."

Mother Zhou's mind was racing at this moment, thinking only about how to survive.

"But the Marquis also knows it."

Not only the old lady and she knew about it, but the Marquis also knew it.

"As for those one hundred people, I don't know whether anyone among them betrayed the old lady."

The leader of the hundred people who came before came to meet with the old lady.

Now that the person is dead, no one knows what happened.

Even Zhou's mother was puzzled.

They didn't know whether Murong Chuan had let the cat out of the bag or told anyone else.

It has been several days and Murong Chuan hasn't come to visit the old lady.

Apparently, the rumors in the mansion had caused the old lady and the marquis to become estranged.

The old lady was unhappy and naturally wanted to settle the score.

"Mother Zhou, if I knew what you said outside, you should know what I would do."

"As long as you do your job well, I won't treat you unfairly."

The old lady naturally understood that Mother Zhou did not have the courage to betray her.

What's more, she had helped her do a lot of dark things before, and she did a good job.

He can be considered as someone she can use.

"Go call Murong Chuan!"

"Yes!"

When Mother Zhou stood up, her body shook several times and she almost couldn't stand.

When she walked out of the house, she took a deep breath and her forehead was covered with sweat.

She wiped the sweat off her forehead, still looking frightened.

She just realized that she had been to the gates of hell.

……

Murong Chuan was doing his work in the study.

Now that the Fourth Prince is being suppressed by the First Prince, he has to move from the dark to the light.

He could have hidden behind the scenes and plotted against the princes, watching them fight each other.

Who would have thought that now several princes are targeting the Fourth Prince.

Everyone knows that the Fourth Prince also has ambitions for that position.

Therefore, the Fourth Prince must be cautious in everything he does now and must not let anyone catch him in the act.

Now it is not convenient for him to contact the Fourth Prince anymore.

He understood that at this time several princes were waiting to catch the Fourth Prince.

If he showed up at this time, he would become a shield in front of the Fourth Prince.

The Marquis's Mansion will definitely not end well.

And the news from the border has not yet come back.

Only after the news of Huo's death came back, he could truly stand on the side of the Fourth Prince.

However, the situation of the Fourth Prince was unclear, and he was actually a little hesitant.

If the Fourth Prince cannot sit in that position and is instead targeted by several princes, then Marquis Yongping cannot stand on the same front with the Fourth Prince.

Since he hasn't officially boarded the Fourth Prince's ship yet, he can actually hesitate.

Just when Murong Chuan was thinking about these things, Mother Zhou came and asked him to talk to the old lady.

Murong Chuan really didn't want to go.

But if you don't go, it would be unfilial.

No matter how unhappy you are, you cannot show it.

After Murong Chuan left, Mother Zhou took a few steps back and said to Zhu Ping, "Be careful these days, don't let anyone get caught doing anything wrong."

"Mom, you look unhappy. Is the old lady targeting you?"

Mother Zhou shook her head and said, "It's nothing. Don't think too much about it."

Mother Zhou really wanted her son to leave the Marquis' Mansion.

But where can I go?

Once she makes it known that she is looking for a way out for herself, the old lady will never trust her again.

Only because her husband and son worked for the Marquis' Mansion and were under the old lady's nose did she dare to trust her and use her.

Otherwise they are all dead.

She didn't dare say anything to Zhu Ping.

"Just remember to do your job well and don't talk too much."

"Don't go against Aunt Su, she is the old lady's favorite."

Mother Zhou didn't dare to say much. She said a few words and hurriedly followed.

……

Plum House

Murong Chuan greeted the old lady with a respectful look.

The old lady looked at Murong Chuan and said, "Sit down and eat together!"

Murong Chuan thought that the old lady would come to question him, but she didn't.

Murong Chuan sat down quietly and ate with them.

In fact, I have no appetite at all and can't eat anything.

Whenever he thought of the way the old lady treated him, he felt like there was a stone blocking his heart and he felt very suffocated.

The old lady was very patient and ate slowly.

After a long while, he put down his chopsticks and said, "Do you know why I fainted before?"

"It's the son's fault for not noticing his mother's physical condition in time, causing her to suffer!"

The old lady sighed, her eyes reddened, she wiped her eyes with a handkerchief, and said weakly: "It's not your fault, it's the one hundred people we trained who were wiped out and didn't come back."

"I'm so worried about this, and I don't want you to worry about it either."

"Many of them are from the Su family's side branches, and they have no way of explaining themselves to the Su family."

"If something happens again, will anyone in the Su family be loyal to you and me?"

"You never understand me, and now you want me to give in and explain myself to you."

"Everyone is waiting to see our mansion make a fool of itself!"

After hearing these words, Murong Chuan was so shocked that he stood up.

"How could that be, with more than a hundred people!"

Those were the people that their mansion had spent a lot of effort to train.

It was originally the trump card of their Marquis' Mansion.
