Murong Chuan walked towards the old lady step by step with a cold expression.

"It's you. You actually did it?"

Murong Chuan curled his lips and smiled, "Mother, you don't have to thank me too much."

"The imperial court has issued a clear ban on witchcraft, but my mother invited a witch doctor from somewhere and planned to use witchcraft to treat Aunt Su."

"For the sake of our entire mansion, I will naturally sacrifice my relatives for the greater good."

"This way, at least the entire mansion can be saved. Otherwise, the entire mansion will be confiscated and exterminated."

"I don't think my mother would want to see that. My cousin is in poor health and can't stand the torture!"

With the last sentence, Murong Chuan was reminding the old lady that Su Wanruo was also from the Marquis' Mansion.

If the old lady doesn't cooperate and behave herself, something will happen to Su Wanruo.

These words were simply treading on the old lady's weak spot.

The old lady just looked at Murong Chuan in shock.

As she watched, the old lady's eyes became strange.

Then she laughed and said, "I really underestimated you."

"Murong Chuan, so you are the ungrateful bastard!"

"Without me, Murong Chuan, you are nothing."

Murong Chuan looked at the old lady with strong hatred in his eyes and said, "Yes, it is all thanks to mother. You taught me a lot of things."

"I learned these methods from you."

"Don't call me an ungrateful person. I am just your tool. You have always wanted to control me, right?"

Murong Chuan said this with a creepy smile.

Then he walked over and picked up Su Wanruo, who was pushed to the ground and coughing.

"Cousin, are you okay?"

Murong Chuan lowered his head and looked at Su Wanruo gently, looking very worried.

Su Wanruo stared at Murong Chuan in a daze.

Murong Chuan reached out and stroked her hair and said, "Cousin, I was confused before. I treated you like that before."

"Don't worry, even though your mother is in trouble, you still have me. I will take good care of you, cousin. You will be fine."

"And cousin, you may not know one thing, that doctor is a witch doctor, she will kill you."

"I was afraid that my mother would harm you, so I have been holding back from looking for you..."

Murong Chuan had an affectionate look on his face. Su Wanruo looked at Murong Chuan, listened to his words, and leaned her head in his arms.

"Woo woo, cousin, I was so scared just now!"

Murong Chuan patted Su Wanruo's back gently, then looked at the old lady.

The provocation in his eyes was so obvious.

The old lady closed her eyes tightly.

I thought Murong Chuan was always under my control, and I didn't know when he lost control.

Su Wanruo still...

Murong Chuan used his feelings to sow discord between Su Wanruo and her.

But she couldn't tell Wanruo's life story.

The old lady felt like vomiting blood from her chest.

"Murongchuan, you'd better treat Wanruo well. If anything happens to Wanruo, I will let you know what regret is!"

The old lady no longer had her usual calm expression at this moment, but stared at Murong Chuan with fierce eyes.

"Mother, what are you talking about? It's as if she is not only my cousin but also my woman. I will naturally treat her well."

Murong Chuan was afraid that the old lady would reveal his identity in front of everyone.

So he used Su Wanruo to threaten the old lady.

The old lady had to endure it temporarily.

Jiang Zhinian watched this scene not far away, with a smile on his face.

“It’s really a good show.”

"Madam, is it true that the old lady will not reveal the true identity of the Marquis and let him do this?"

Jiang Zhinian sneered and said, "Then you underestimate our old lady."

"She is a person who can endure and fight back fiercely."

"Her parents threatened her back then. She seemed to be married into the Marquis' Mansion and obeyed her parents' arrangements, but the next moment, her parents died."

"The old marquis trusted her back then and handed the household affairs of the marquisate to her. He took good care of her, but then the old marquis died."

"As long as this old lady is alive, she can do anything she wants."

"Just wait and see, the fight will get more intense as dogs bite each other."

Lian Qiao whispered, "The old lady was arrested, but she can still stir up trouble. Will she be okay?"

"No, she was involved in witchcraft and was arrested by the Ministry of Justice. She will not come out alive."

"But she still has value."

Naturally, the value of using the old lady to lure out the priest from Southern Xinjiang.

As for after the old lady was captured, Murong Chuan would definitely relax his vigilance.

He thought the mansion was entirely under his control.

It is best to stab the enemy hard when he is tired and off guard.

"Get out of the way first."

……

After the old lady and Murong Chuan fought, the police escorted the old lady and Doctor Luo out.

It was said that they were being escorted out, but it was actually more like they were being tied up and dragged out.

When the old lady was pushed, the pearl hairpins on her head fell to the ground and she looked so miserable.

Su Wanruo hid in Murong Chuan's arms and looked over carefully. When she saw the old lady's appearance, she was indifferent.

Su Wanruo thought that now that Murong Chuan was treating her well, she didn't need an aunt anymore.

Su Wanruo is a very selfish person at heart, having inherited the temperament of old lady Su Peipei.

Su Peipei is only thinking about Su Wanruo, but Su Wanruo doesn't care about the old lady's life or death.

……

After they were taken away, Murong Chuan carried Su Wanruo to Wanxiangyuan and tried to coax her first.

Of course, it was to use Su Wanruo to restrain the old lady.

Jiang Zhinian entered the old lady's yard quietly.

Although it is a mess now.

But there were some things that the officials did not take away.

Every time Mother Qiu came to see the old lady, and every time the old lady contacted the priest in southern Xinjiang, there must have been correspondence.

The officers searched for such a long time but found nothing. It was obvious that the old lady had placed it in a very important place.

After Jiang Zhinian entered the house, he began knocking around to search.

She suspected that there was a trap in the house.

She was good at mechanical devices and formations, and when she saw the layout of this house, she felt that something was not right.

However, the old lady had been staying in the house almost all the time before, so it was not easy to investigate.

Now that the old lady has been captured, it will be easier for her to act.

Jiang Zhinian searched for a while and found the mechanism button under the old lady's bed.

She pressed it gently, and a door slowly opened on the inside of the bed.

There turned out to be a secret passage inside.

After Jiang Zhinian went in, the mechanism closed automatically.

Lian Qiao is helping to watch over the place from outside, so there won't be any problems for now.

She wanted to see what other secrets the old lady was hiding.
