As Murong Chuan listened to Jiang Zhinian's words, he felt a surge of anger rising in his stomach.

He couldn't help but want to suppress Jiang Zhinian's arrogance.

But Murong Chuan suppressed his anger with reason. He smiled and lowered his voice to coax Jiang Zhinian: "Zhinian, you are my wife. I will come to you if I have something to ask."

"If you're unhappy, you can just curse at me."

"But there are children here now, don't scare them."

The child that Murong Chuan was talking about was naturally Murong Yanran.

Jiang Zhinian didn't care about Murong Yanran at all. She sneered and said, "The Marquis is really fond of this orphan girl from a side branch!"

"There are so many orphans in the side branches, but I haven't seen the Marquis treat any of them so well."

Murong Chuan felt guilty about this matter and couldn't stand what Jiang Zhinian said.

"Look at what you said. I did it for you."

"Don't act like you're doing this for me. You didn't ask for my opinion, so how do you know if I'm happy about it?"

When Jiang Zhinian saw Murong Yanran, the flames of hatred in his heart surged up.

But she suppressed it and didn't let anyone see it.

In the previous life, Murong Chuan did various things under her name, but in fact he was doing things for his own benefit.

Murong Chuan's face was stiff, he felt that Jiang Zhinian was refusing to accept his toast and was about to be punished.

This was in their Marquis' Mansion. She simply felt that the Mansion was in decline, so she dared to challenge him like this.

No other lady has ever been like Jiang Zhinian.

She is simply a unreasonable shrew.

Su Wanruo saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly said, "Greetings to the Madam."

Su Wanruo was also very reluctant when she paid her respects to Jiang Zhinian.

But so many days have passed, since she was promoted to a concubine, she has come to pay her respects every day.

Of course, Su Wanruo always came late on purpose, looking as if she was very tired by the Marquis.

It was also to annoy Jiang Zhinian.

Jiang Zhinian killed Yinchai and let Yinzhu go. She would never let Jiang Zhinian off for this.

He was just enduring it temporarily. He occupied the Marquis every day just to fight back against Jiang Zhinian and make Jiang Zhinian unhappy.

In the previous life, this method would have worked.

But now Jiang Zhinian doesn't care about Murong Chuan at all. She even hopes that Murong Chuan will stay at Su Wanruo's place every day.

Jiang Zhinian saw Su Wanruo's complacency and found it ridiculous.

Jiang Zhinian raised the corner of his mouth coldly and said sarcastically, "Auntie Su, are you not feeling well?"

Su Wanruo whispered, "To answer Madam, I just went to bed a little late, it's okay."

If the Marquis was not here, Su Wanruo would definitely act like she was extremely tired.

Last night she pestered the Marquis, and the Marquis told her a secret, saying that he had never touched Jiang Zhinian.

This made Su Wanruo even more proud.

The Marquis belongs to her alone, Jiang Zhinian is nothing to her.

Jiang Zhinian sneered, "If you are tired by the Marquis, just say you are tired by the Marquis. What do you mean you slept a little late?"

"Look at your appearance. If you walk around the mansion, I'm sure the servants will know that you are exhausted."

"My Lord, please take care of Aunt Su's health. If she gets sick, people will think it's related to me."

"Now let's make it clear that it's related to the Marquis."

Jiang Zhinian used Su Wanruo's words to completely deny the matter.

If Su Wanruo falls ill again in the future, it will be because the Marquis is tired and has nothing to do with her.

Furthermore, if word gets out, others will only say that Murong Chuan goes back on his word and does not keep his promise.

They say that taking his cousin as a concubine is just to give her a status, but in reality, she is still doing what she should do.

Murong Chuan was indeed getting addicted to the taste of the food and was on Su Wanruo's side.

"Ma'am, what do you mean by that?"

Su Wanruo's eyes moved and she said tenderly, "Madam, it's all my fault."

"My Lord, I cannot serve you from now on. Please come to my wife's courtyard."

He looked as if he was afraid of being blamed by Jiang Zhinian.

In fact, this was also Su Wanruo's strategy.

Su Wanruo felt that the Marquis was still new to her at the moment, and the food she ate might not be new after a long time.

So she wanted to use the lady's mouth to temporarily stop serving the Marquis.

If the Marquis wants to blame someone, then blame the lady.

In this way, she could continue to keep the Marquis hooked and keep him interested in her.

She wanted to hold him firmly in her hands.

Murong Chuan's expression changed, "Cousin, you don't have to worry about anything else."

"Others dare not say anything."

Moreover, my cousin has been feeling much better since she started burning incense.

There's no big problem at all.

Jiang Zhinian looked at them coldly and said, "If you can't serve the Marquis, as his wife, I will arrange for a concubine to serve him. I can wrong anyone but not the Marquis."

Su Wanruo's face changed drastically.

Jiang Zhinian is doing things completely against common sense.

She obviously cared so much about Murong Chuan that she didn't want him to take a concubine.

Even if Murong Chuan accepted her, Jiang Zhinian had caused so much trouble. How could she be willing to give up the Marquis to someone else?

Murong Chuan's expression froze, as if he couldn't believe what Jiang Zhinian said.

He carefully studied her expression, trying to see whether she was telling the truth or not.

If it was true, Murong Chuan would also be panicked.

The reason why he dared to act so recklessly now was simply because he was very sure that Jiang Zhinian was thinking of him all the time.

But if Jiang Zhinian didn't care, Murong Chuan would become panicked again, as if he was afraid that something was out of control.

"Ma'am, please don't say such angry words. You know exactly how I feel about you."

Murong Chuan quickly softened his tone and decided not to confront or get angry with Jiang Zhinian.

"I came here to discuss something with you."

"Look, you are teaching one person anyway, why not teach Murong Yanran as well? This way it won't affect anything."

"Murong Yanran's father has made great contributions to our Marquisate. I can't just ignore these things."

"I know I have wronged you, I will compensate you somewhere else."

"I know I've neglected you recently, but I'm thinking of you in my heart. I'll come over tonight."

Murong Chuan thought that coming to Jiang Zhinian's room would make Jiang Zhinian happy and was also a way to coax Jiang Zhinian.

Little did he know that Jiang Zhinian hoped Murong Chuan would not come to his room.

But she had already prepared the medicine.

Even if Murong Chuan came to her room, she could use hallucination drugs on Murong Chuan.

Just like he used hallucinogens on her.

Nothing will ever happen between her and Murong Chuan.

"That's not necessary. I've been busy with so many things in the mansion recently and I'm exhausted. You should let Aunt Su continue to serve me."

She didn't know what Su Wanruo was planning.

She wanted to let Murong Chuan get over the novelty of Su Wanruo, and then it would be time for Lin Qiuse to come on the scene.

Of course Murong Chuan was willing to go to Su Wanruo's room.

After hearing these words, I naturally felt happy.

But he couldn't help but coax Jiang Zhinian a few words.

"Yanran, why don't you pay your respects to the Madam?"

Murong Yanran was actually very unwilling in her heart, and was jealous of Murong Zhizhi, but now she also understood that if she wanted to have a status in the mansion, she could only please the lady.

Originally she should have been the eldest daughter of a marquis's mansion, but now she has become an orphan living under someone else's roof and having to depend on everyone for his favor.

Murong Yanran greeted her in a serious manner, "Greetings to the Madam."

"Tsk tsk, this etiquette is neither fish nor fowl. It's unacceptable to watch."

When Jiang Zhinian said this, Murong Chuan took a closer look and a look of disgust appeared on his face.

He was afraid that Murong Yanran would embarrass him.

But she is his daughter after all, so he still has to take care of her. "If she doesn't know etiquette, I can learn from you."

Jiang Zhinian said: "If you want Murong Yanran to come and study with me, it's not impossible, but I want to set three rules."
