After hearing this, the old lady's eyes also showed a greedy look.

Yes, it would be great if this elite force fell into their hands.

"Those are just rumors. We don't know if they actually exist."

Murong Chuan said conceitedly: "Don't worry, mother. She cares so much about me, I will try to ask her."

The old lady thought about it and nodded, "Okay."

She was very inconspicuous when she was young, and her family background and reputation were not as good as Wei Ying's.

There is a hidden feeling of jealousy in my heart, but I never dare to show it.

"So be more restrained during this period and don't let her think that you don't care about her."

"Hold her heart firmly."

"And now she's sick. Women are most vulnerable when they're sick. If you show a little concern for her at this time, she'll be moved to the point of being devoted to you."

Having said this, the old lady looked at Su Wanruo again.

Noticing Su Wanruo's pale face, she could only soften her tone and persuade her, "Wanruo, please bear with it for now. This is for the overall situation."

"Our mansion will be fine in the future. Auntie promises you that she will never treat you unfairly."

"Even Jiang Zhinian's dowry will be yours."

Su Wanruo said softly, "Aunt, I know everything. As long as it's for my cousin's good, I'm willing to kneel down and beg Madam for forgiveness even if I'm wronged."

"I am already very satisfied to be with my cousin and stay by his side."

Su Wanruo looks weak, sensible and infatuated.

Murong Chuan was even more moved.

He reached out and held Su Wanruo's hand and said, "Wanruo, don't worry, I will never let you down."

"Now Jiang Zhinian and I are just playing around, you are the one I keep in my heart."

Su Wanruo lowered her head shyly, "Cousin, I believe you."

The old lady looked at the two people who were affectionate with each other and relaxed her brows with satisfaction.

That’s it. From now on, this mansion will be…

The old lady raised her eyelids and calmly concealed the expression in her eyes.

Although he had to protect Su Wanruo now, he couldn't let Murong Chuan see anything.

……

Wanxiangyuan

Chunlan had received instructions from the lady early on. After seeing Su Wanruo, the Marquis and Yinchai paying their respects to the old lady's courtyard, she quietly entered the courtyard to see Yinzhu.

Yinzhu looked at a box on the table and felt a little uneasy.

Her cousin asked her to keep the money, and she always felt a little uneasy.

And ever since she found her parents and told them that they wanted to redeem her, her cousin's attitude towards her has become a little different.

If there was anything, he would only talk to Yinchai in the house and not let her hear it.

When she saw Chunlan coming, Yinzhu was surprised and asked, "Chunlan, why are you here?"

Chunlan stepped forward and said with a friendly smile: "I just happened to be free today, so I wanted to come and see you."

"In this mansion, you and I are the only fellow villagers. I think we are as close as sisters."

Yinzhu was also sincerely grateful to Chunlan, "Yes, if it weren't for you, my parents might not have been able to find me, Chunlan, thank you."

It was also thanks to Chunlan who was on duty in the mansion that she learned that her parents had been looking for her when she returned home, which allowed her to meet her parents.

"It's just a small favor. There's no need for us to say thank you."

Chunlan showed some concern for Yinzhu and chatted with her for a while.

Talking about some things that happened during their respective duties.

"Everyone says that Miss Cousin has a good temper, but in fact, Miss Cousin is moody and difficult to serve."

"I told my cousin before that my parents wanted to take me out of the house and the money was ready, but my cousin just wouldn't let me go."

Chunlan feels uncomfortable when talking about this.

And there is someone waiting for her to go back and get married. She and he were childhood sweethearts.

Chunlan then said, "Yinzhu, since you and I are sisters, I will also tell you something from the bottom of my heart."

"I actually think Miss Cousin has no intention of letting you leave the house."

"If I really wanted to let you out of the house, I wouldn't have dragged it out like this."

"In fact, our wife is the best. If we have any difficulties, she will help us."

"Although you are Miss Cousin's maid, the Madam is still in charge of the household affairs and has the final say in this mansion."

Hearing this, Yinzhu's heart moved, "Madam, can you really let me leave the house?"

Chunlan nodded and said, "Of course, Madam has a good temper and is very kind to our subordinates, and you can see it."

"To be honest, when you went to get the medicine yesterday, my wife happened to be buying herbs and saw you. She bought all the medicine you wanted and asked me to give it to you."

When Chunlan took out the medicine bag, Yinzhu was moved.

She served her cousin wholeheartedly, but her cousin had never been so nice to her.

Even though she knew that she needed money and medicinal herbs, the cousin would not care about her.

But she had never served the Madam. The cousin even made the Madam angry, but the Madam still controlled her.

Chunlan then took the opportunity to say some good things about the lady, which just happened to highlight the bad qualities of her cousin, who seemed to be quite scheming.

Yinzhu was not stupid and naturally realized that her cousin had lost trust in her.

"Thank you, thank the madam for me."

"If Madam needs me in the future, please tell me and I will repay you."

These herbs are the medicine to save her mother and are extremely important to her.

She had been worrying about this these days, but she didn't expect that the lady would help her.

This is like a timely help for Yinzhu.

Besides, she felt guilty for helping her cousin spread news that was unfavorable to the lady yesterday. She was totally wrong.

But that was her cousin's instruction, so she had to do it.

"By the way, Yinzhu, you went out yesterday. Can Miss cousin let you go out? I saw that you looked unhappy. Did Miss cousin scold you?"

Yinzhu then told her about what happened yesterday when her cousin asked her to use it as a hairpin.

Skipped over the matter of spreading rumors.

"No, you mean after you pawn the money and get the job done, you can keep the remaining money?"

Yinzhu looked at Chunlan's bad face and asked, "What's wrong? Is there anything wrong?"

Chunlan's face turned pale as she said, "Think about it carefully. If anyone in the mansion finds extra silver in a maid's room and cannot explain where the silver came from, they will be beaten to death for theft."

"Wasn't there a maid in our house who was like this before?"

After Chunlan said this, Yinzhu realized something and was so scared that all the color drained from his face.

"My cousin, are you...are you trying to make me die in this mansion?"

After thinking for a while, Yinzhu remembered what she did yesterday.

She suddenly understood, "My cousin is thinking that if something goes wrong, she will push me out and put all the blame on me..."

The more she thought about it, the more panicked Yinzhu became, and she collapsed there.

Chunlan reminded: "Yinzhu, you can't get into trouble. Your parents and your fiancé are still waiting for you. They have been waiting for you for so many years."

Yinzhu shuddered, came to his senses, and grabbed Chunlan's hand, "Chunlan, please save me, find a way to save me, I don't want to die, I can't die like this."

She realized that her cousin would kill her.

That's right, she wanted to leave the house and her heart was not with her cousin. How could her cousin let go of someone who was unfaithful so easily?

Everyone else said that her cousin was kind-hearted and gentle, but she had served her cousin for so many years, so she naturally understood that her cousin was scheming.

Otherwise, why would the Marquis be so fascinated by his cousin?

How could an orphan girl living under someone else's roof suddenly become the favored concubine of the marquis? How could it be that she didn't have any tricks? How could it be that simple?
