Jiang Zhinian watched Murong Chuan's expression change leisurely.

"Ahem, didn't you say that if I want a child to accompany me, it's ok for an orphan girl from a branch family, but not for my third brother's daughter?"

Jiang Zhinian deliberately looked at Murong Chuan with a puzzled look.

Plus a few coughs from time to time.

Murong Yanran's face turned even paler at this time.

My father clearly said that no one could take her position, as she is the legitimate daughter of the marquis's family.

But how come another person suddenly appears now?

Who is that person?

Why did he steal the attention that belonged to her?

At her age, Murong Yanran is not good at concealing her thoughts.

At this moment, his face was full of jealousy and resentment.

Jiang Zhinian glanced at it and sneered in his heart.

Murong Chuan tried to change Jiang Zhinian's mind and said, "No, I heard that Third Brother's child doesn't know anything, unlike Yanran, and I'm afraid she will offend you."

"I'm not afraid. Instead, I'm worried that Yanran will bump into me."

He was about to faint as he spoke.

The old lady wanted to get rid of Jiang Zhinian immediately, and waved her hand impatiently, "That's it, let Zhijie come to the mansion to accompany Zhinian first."

Murong Chuan looked at the old lady with disapproval.

The old lady said, "Jie Zhi will be lonely if she is alone, and Yan Ran is in the mansion, so the two little ones can play together often."

Murong Chuan felt better after hearing this.

Since the old lady said so, Jiang Zhinian achieved his goal, so at the urging of the old lady, he was taken back to the yard by Lian Qiao.

The old lady even arranged for the court doctor to prescribe medicine for Jiang Zhinian.

We also need to do enough surface work.

……

Murong Chuan couldn't help but get angry at this time: "Mom, why did you follow her!"

"She doesn't even take us seriously now. She was so angry last night that she almost fainted."

"What if something unexpected happens?"

Su Wanruo's brows relaxed when she heard Murong Chuan protecting her.

Jiang Zhinian is like a thorn, which will only make Murong Chuan more and more dissatisfied.

This will only make her better and better.

"And Yanran..."

The old lady quickly interrupted Murong Chuan and said, "We'll talk about Yanran later. Stay in the mansion first. I'll make arrangements for the rest."

Having said that, the old lady asked someone to send Murong Yanran back.

There are some things that Murong Yanran must not hear, and Su Wanruo must not be allowed to suspect anything.

Su Wanruo doesn't know yet that Murong Yanran is Murong Chuan's illegitimate daughter.

If the old lady had known earlier, she would never have kept Murong Yanran.

But now that Murong Chuan has brought her back, she cannot deal with Murong Yanran privately, as that would cause Murong Chuan to become estranged from her.

She is just a girl. When she grows up, she can at most be given a dowry, which will not affect Wanruo's status.

If Murong Yanran doesn't listen, it won't be a big deal if she gets spoiled.

The old lady never took Murong Yanran seriously.

It was just a superficial consideration out of consideration for Murong Chuan's feelings, so as to prevent this son from becoming alienated from her as a mother.

"Don't be unconvinced. You know best what our mansion is like now."

"The Marquis' Mansion still needs Jiang Zhinian, so we can't let her become alienated from you and me."

Murong Chuan's face didn't look very good, but he also understood that what his mother said made sense.

Murong Chuan frowned, "The Huo family has been exiled, and Jiang Zhinian no longer has the support of his grandfather's family behind him."

"Mrs. Bo's wife is Jiang Zhinian's stepmother. She hopes that something bad will happen to Jiang Zhinian. Mrs. Bo's wife is already seriously ill. She can only rely on our Bo's wife now. She can't make any trouble."

The old lady tapped the ground fiercely with her cane, "Stupid, what do you know."

"As long as the wife of the Loyal and Brave Marquis, Wei Ying, is still alive, we have to be cautious."

Murong Chuan said: "I heard that she is bedridden and the doctor said she will not survive."

The old lady frowned tightly and said with a fearful look: "You underestimate this old lady Wei Ying."

She recalled many things she had heard in the boudoir, "She comes from the Wei family, a family of generals. Back then, the Wei family was the most famous family in Yan State. The members of the Wei family were both civil and military talents."

"Even though Wei Ying is a girl, her father and brother dote on her very much and let her practice martial arts."

"General Wei once said that Wei Ying's ability surpassed her brother's, but it was a pity that she was a girl."

"Not to mention that the late emperor valued the Wei family at that time and praised Wei Ying for being as brave as a man."

"We all looked up to Wei Ying at that time."

Murong Chuan remembered that the Wei family was destroyed when he was a child, and he had no idea of ​​the Wei family's former glory, so he didn't care and said, "No matter what, the Wei family is gone."

The old lady said, "During the war, Wei Ying's father and brothers did die on the battlefield, and only Wei Ying survived."

"This is the orphan of the Wei family. Her father and brother defended the border for the State of Yan during the battle and made great sacrifices. The late emperor took good care of her."

"Although she is a woman, she should not be underestimated."

"There are secret rumors that the Wei family has an elite secret guard in Wei Ying's hands."

Murong Chuan's face changed, and he couldn't believe it and said, "How is it possible? If there is such a secret guard, how could the emperor allow it? Isn't he afraid?"

The old lady's eyes darkened and she said coldly, "I heard that the late emperor tacitly approved it."

"But these are all secret rumors, and no one knows whether they are true or not."

"However, when Wei Ying was still in the boudoir, she had many good friends. They were all daughters of first-class noble families. Now, most of them have become the wives of noble families. This is a network of relationships."

"Jiang Zhinian is Wei Ying's most beloved granddaughter. She has been brought up by Wei Ying since she was a child. As long as Madam Wei Ying is alive, she will protect Jiang Zhinian."

"And this time when Wei Ying was sick, the emperor personally arranged for an official to see Wei Ying, which shows how much the emperor values ​​Wei Ying."

"As long as she's alive, we can't really do anything to her."

"So we should be more restrained in our actions."

Murong Chuan said: "When my mother fainted yesterday, I thought she wanted to set some rules for her."

The old lady said seriously: "I do think so. If Jiang Zhinian can bear it, it's okay to set some rules. No one else will know about it anyway."

"And the Yan Kingdom values ​​filial piety. She can't be disrespectful to me. It can also give you and Wanruo some vent."

"But look at how sick she is. If I take action, I will be at a disadvantage."

"The reputation of our mansion is important, and we cannot let anyone criticize us."

Speaking of this, the old lady was also very angry.

Murong Chuan's expression changed, and he said, "Mother, if Jiang Zhinian's grandmother really has this elite unit, will she give it to Jiang Zhinian? Can we find a way to get this elite unit?"

Murong Chuan knew best the importance of an elite secret guard, not to mention that they were trained by a military family.

You have to know that it takes a lot of gold and silver to support secret guards, and they also need to be absolutely loyal.
