Boom!

Murong Chuan felt as if a thunderclap sounded above his head.

So many people spent so much effort to train them, and the most important thing is that so much money was used.

But the whole army was wiped out.

Murong Chuan couldn't believe it.

I just felt my ears buzzing.

My head started to hurt.

The old lady looked at Murong Chuan's expression and knew that he had been hit hard.

These more than one hundred people were supposed to serve the Marquis' Mansion in the future, but now they have all been killed and not a single one has returned.

No matter how healthy she was at the time, she couldn't bear the news.

He vomited blood and fainted.

This is something she can't control.

It was also this incident that made her feel worse than before when she woke up.

Even if the doctor sees me again or I take medicine these days, it doesn't work.

She can feel tired and exhausted from working too hard and worrying too much.

Therefore, the person the old lady hated the most was the person who was behind the deaths of more than a hundred people.

Murong Chuan slowly came back to his senses and looked at the old lady with a complicated expression.

He suddenly realized that his mother looked much older and more tired these days.

"So the reason why mother woke up so anxious was because of this?"

The old lady sighed and said, "If it weren't for this, why would I be so nervous?"

"You know, everything I did was for the Marquis' Mansion, and the Marquis of this Marquis' Mansion is you."

The old lady observed Murong Chuan's expression carefully.

Seeing his expression relax a little, she coughed a few times and continued, "Ahem, I know I was a little harsh. I can't change my stubborn personality."

“It’s been like this for years.”

"I also want to be gentle, but you also know that your father passed away early, and our mansion is in such a situation. If I am not strong, let alone others, will the side branches and illegitimate children let me and my son go?"

"At that time, it was unclear who would be the Marquis."

"I thought that we, mother and son, would understand each other. You know that everything I do is for you..."

"But I didn't expect that a few words from others could sow discord and make people hate their mother."

"Why should I be nice to Wanruo? She is from the Su family. You should know how many people from the Su family's side branches we used to train those more than a hundred people."

"We have to comfort her. With her in the mansion, the next head of the Su family, Su Zhiwei, dotes on his sister so much that he will be used by us. If we use the Su family, we don't have to worry about them causing trouble."

"The Marquis' Mansion and the Murong branch's descendants are ambitious and I dare not use them..."

The old lady talked a lot.

Murong Chuan felt that his mother had really considered everything.

My mother coughed from time to time and looked like she was not feeling well.

Murong Chuan's mind naturally relaxed.

I felt that it was wrong for me to believe in slander and doubt my mother.

"Mother, it's my son's fault."

"It was the son who ignored these problems."

After hearing these words, the old lady knew that these things were in the past.

If you want to instigate them mother and son, it depends on whether she is willing or not.

After the two servants were beaten to death, these servants naturally dared not gossip anymore.

The old lady continued to strike while the iron was hot, "Come to think of it, it's also the Huo family's fault. I don't know if the Huo family kept something back, or if Jiang Zhinian knew something and killed these people."

"Cough cough..."

The old lady easily shifted the blame to Jiang Zhinian.

This made Murong Chuan dissatisfied with Jiang Zhinian.

"Think about what Jiang Zhinian did. Rumors spread so quickly in this mansion. If you say it has nothing to do with her, I don't believe it."

"Think about it again. She said something nice about the porridge distribution, but who knows what she was thinking."

"You have to be careful with her. I underestimated her before."

"But since the Huo family is alive and well, and the lady of the Bo Mansion is in good health, these are her support, and we can't touch her easily!"

Murong Chuan's face turned pale.

During this time he was with Qingdai, Qingdai would say that everything Jiang Zhinian did was for the Marquis' Mansion, and he actually believed it a little.

Now when I listen to my mother's words again, I feel that what she said makes more sense and some of her things are more tenable.

And what his mother said was right, who else could she have done it for if not for him.

"That Qingdai is Jiang Zhinian's person. I don't know if she was deliberately placed next to you."

The old lady knew that Murong Chuan was still somewhat interested in Qingdai.

You must not speak in a way that might provoke Murong Chuan's disgust. If you speak too deliberately, it might instead arouse Murong Chuan's rebelliousness.

It would be better to speak more tactfully like this, and guide him to doubt something, that would be enough.

Murong Chuan also understood that Qingdai was Jiang Zhinian's person.

"Mother, Jiang Zhinian's attitude towards me has become much colder since I married my cousin."

"People can't change so much all of a sudden."

"She used to think about me all the time. Isn't it just taking a concubine that makes her act like this?"

Murong Chuan could have ignored Jiang Zhinian, but he was the type of person who wanted both.

He felt that Jiang Zhinian should always put him first.

At first, when her attitude changed, he still looked angry, just wondering who would be stronger.

In addition, he had just married Su Wanruo and was immersed in the gentleness of her life, so he didn't think about many things carefully.

He felt uncomfortable at this moment.

Even if he didn't like Jiang Zhinian, Jiang Zhinian was still his wife.

The old lady had no doubt about this.

"You just don't understand women."

Murong Chuan promised not to take a concubine, but suddenly he did so. Jiang Zhinian felt cheated. Besides, no woman would want to have multiple concubines in the house, so it was normal for her to feel dissatisfied or even angry.

When she saw the old marquis' concubine, she wanted to beat her to death.

It's just that her family's status is weak, so she didn't dare to make it public.

Although she was clearly angry at the old marquis, she had a smile on her face.

Jiang Zhinian has the support of her natal family and married into the family, so she naturally has the confidence to do so.

After saying a lot of things and making sure that Murong Chuan had changed his mind, the old lady handed Murong Chuan the ointment that she had prepared long ago and said, "I heard that Qingdai has disfigured her."

"Although mother doesn't like Qingdai and thinks she was someone Jiang Zhinian deliberately arranged to be by your side, but since you like her, mother will think more about you."

"This is ointment. It's good for her face. Let her use it."

"Just don't say I gave it to you. Women always want to say their men gave them everything they get."

"If you're worried, you can ask the doctor to check it out."

Murong Chuan was suddenly moved.

His mother really cared about him.

"No, why would I not trust my mother?"

……

Begonia Courtyard

It was not until very late that Chunlan came in to report, "Madam, the Marquis just came out of the old lady's courtyard and went directly to the Qingdai courtyard."

Ever since Qingdai became Murong Chuan's person, Murong Chuan arranged a separate courtyard for her.

Jiang Zhinian looked at the names of Su Wanruo and Su Zhiwei written on the table, thinking about something.

After hearing this, I calculated the time and said, "Dinner took more than an hour, so it shows that we talked a lot."

"It seems that the relationship between mother and son has eased."

Chunlan said: "Then Madam, has everything we have done before been in vain?"

Chunlan was naturally talking about the rumors.

Before, she deliberately had people spread some words to sow discord between them.

Jiang Zhinian smiled calmly and said, "It's not in vain, it's naturally useful."
