Zhu Ping bent down and said carefully: "My Lord, the people below sent news that Mu Tie's body was found!"
Zhu Ping knew that the Marquis had been moody lately and easily lost his temper.
The people who served them also became more careful.
Zhu Ping used to think that he was different in the Marquis’ heart.
But after Yinchai's death, Zhu Ping finally realized the truth.
To their masters, these people are nothing more than dispensable servants.
If you make a mistake, you will be beaten to death.
Even if they are wronged, they will not be given a chance to defend themselves.
Zhu Ping also hated Murong Chuan in his heart, but he would not show it.
"what!"
Murong Chuan was so shocked by the news that he stood up immediately.
He stared at Zhu Ping in disbelief, "What happened? Why did Mu Tie die?"
"No, I must have seen it wrong!"
"How dare you lie to me about something like this!"
"You are so brave, you are risking your life!"
Murong Chuan's eyes were red with anger, and he looked like he was hit hard.
His face turned pale and he looked a little flustered.
Mu Tie is the commander of the guards in the mansion. He is the best in martial arts and ability among the guards.
How could he die?
Zhu Ping said cautiously: "The people downstairs said he froze to death!"
"How could he freeze to death? How could he freeze to death? He couldn't have frozen to death!"
Murong Chuan just couldn't believe it.
He rushed out of the house, his face pale.
Even the old lady was alarmed and hurried out of the yard.
They had people bring Mu Tie's body back.
After someone checked him out, it was confirmed that he was frozen to death and had no injuries or problems.
No poisoning either.
We asked several coroners to examine the case, and found out that this was the fact.
It has nothing to do with anyone.
The old lady was so angry that she picked up her cane and hit Murong Chuan hard.
"I let you be stupid, I let you make your own decisions..."
"Bump bump..."
The crutch hit Murong Chuan again and again.
"This is all caused by you!"
"It was snowing so heavily, and you actually made him go to the manor in the middle of the night in the snow and wind just for your own selfish reasons, just to vent your anger..."
"Where's your brain, you're worthless idiot."
"Not even one-tenth of your father's!"
"I can't even learn a single point..."
The old lady was angry and didn't care about the occasion and just hit Murong Chuan.
Perhaps in the old lady's heart, she doesn't care about Murong Chuan's life or death.
Mother Zhou was watching this scene and was horrified.
It felt like the old lady had really been ruthless in beating Murong Chuan.
This doesn't look like beating your son at all.
It's just like beating an enemy.
But Mother Zhou also knew that when the Marquis was a child, the old lady would beat him whenever she asked.
Murong Chuan was in so much pain that he couldn't stand and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Cough cough..."
He endured the pain and groaned.
Even the servants in the mansion looked at this scene in horror.
Of course, the old people in the mansion were used to it.
All the old people in the mansion knew how strict the old lady was with the Marquis.
It can be said that the Marquis grew up being beaten by the old lady.
However, after the Marquis grew up, the old lady rarely used violence.
Su Wanruo hurried over, stood in front of Murong Chuan and said, "Old Madam, please stop hitting me. Please stop hitting me."
"If you want to hit me, old lady, hit me."
Su Wanruo looked like she felt sorry for Murong Chuan.
When the old lady saw Su Wanruo coming, she quickly put away her walking stick.
But I did breathe a sigh of relief.
The old lady glared at Murong Chuan fiercely.
"If you act impulsively again, I will punish you according to the family rules!"
The family rules handed down from the ancestors of the Marquis' Mansion are even more stringent.
The old lady went back, and Su Wanruo pulled Murong Chuan back to her with heartache.
She wants to see a doctor.
Murong Chuan stopped her.
"Don't, it'll make people laugh."
"But what about your injury?"
Murong Chuan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes gloomy, "It's just a minor injury!"
Su Wanruo took out the golden wound medicine with tears in her eyes and applied it to Murong Chuan.
She was crying while applying the medicine.
Murong Chuan looked at Su Wanruo and felt somewhat touched.
"Wanruo, don't worry, I'm fine, I will definitely treat you well."
In Murong Chuan's opinion, Su Wanruo is the only one in this world who treats him the best.
People around him, including his mother, treat him like a tool.
Only Wanruo would truly feel sorry for him and care about him.
"You must not do this again next time. What if your mother's cane hits you?"
"You are just getting better, so don't let anything happen to you."
Su Wanruo cried and said, "I don't care about these. As long as I can protect my cousin, it doesn't matter even if I die!"
"I don't want anything to happen to my cousin."
Murong Chuan reached out and gently wiped Su Wanruo's tears.
"Wan Ruo, I'm sorry for wronging you."
"You should be my wife."
"Don't worry, one day, the position of Marquis's wife will be yours, and then no one will have the final say."
Not even his mother could control him anymore.
He lost face today and became a joke to everyone.
Perhaps Su Wanruo's sincere look made Murong Chuan relax and speak out his true feelings, "Wanruo, mother doesn't care about me at all!"
Su Wanruo was shocked, "How could it be?"
"Cousin, don't overthink it. Auntie definitely cares about you."
"It's just that my aunt has a bad temper. Everything she does is for the Marquis's Mansion and for you."
"Mu Tie's death is a great loss to the Marquis' Mansion. The other guards don't have Mu Tie's ability. My aunt must be worried."
"Auntie wants you to stop acting so impulsively in the future."
Su Wanruo knew very well that her aunt was very good to her.
If it weren't for her aunt, she would not have been able to live in the Marquis' Mansion.
When she first moved into the Marquis' Mansion, Murong Chuan ignored her at all.
She thought she could attract her cousin, but it was no use.
It was her aunt who kept praising her in front of Murong Chuan and kept looking for opportunities for Murong Chuan to contact her and take care of her.
She was able to use some tricks to make her cousin fall in love with her.
Some of these techniques were taught by my aunt.
Of course, Su Wanruo couldn't say any of this.
Murong Chuan didn't say anything, but showed a self-deprecating look.
However, this beating also made Murong Chuan calm down completely.
He understood that he could no longer be impulsive and that he had to seize every opportunity he could.
But he also hated the old lady in his heart.
Just because she was his mother, he couldn't do anything to her.
Besides, his father didn't care about his mother in his early years.
It took a lot of effort for his mother to help him secure his current position.
After applying the golden wound medicine, Murong Chuan said, "Wanruo, I'm going to go to Zhuangzi to bring Jiang Zhinian back."
"This is my mother's order. I have no choice but to do it. Don't worry, you are the only one in my heart."
Especially after what happened just now, Murong Chuan understood even more clearly that Su Wanruo was the only one who truly cared about him.
Su Wanruo said gently, "Cousin, I understand. I know how hard you've worked. I understand you, but I feel sorry for you even more."
Murong Chuan reached out and hugged Su Wanruo, coaxed her for a while, and then set off on horseback.
……
Of course, the news of the Marquis' Mansion was reported to Jiang Zhinian immediately.
Jiang Zhinian had a strange look on his face after hearing the report from the secret guard Wei Dao.
"Master, is there any problem?"
"Wei Dao, do you feel that the old lady and Murong Chuan don't seem to be in a mother-son relationship? The old lady's attitude towards Murong Chuan is very strange."
"It's actually better for Su Wanruo."
In the past, Jiang Zhinian felt that the old lady had a strong desire for control and just wanted to keep Murong Chuan under control.
Or maybe he was just being strict with Murong Chuan and wanted him to manage the Marquis' Mansion well.
But when many things are connected, it’s not that simple.
Wei Dao said respectfully: "I heard that the old lady used stick education to educate Murong Chuan."
"But when the old marquis was still alive, the old lady didn't treat Murong Chuan like this."
Jiang Zhinian said: "We still need to investigate many things in the past, including everything related to the Marquis' Mansion."
"Also, find someone to tell the old lady about the one hundred bandits being killed."
Wei Dao said respectfully: "Master, don't you need to block the news and conceal it anymore?"
Jiang Zhinian said: "Even if it is blocked again, the old lady will know the news in a few days."
"While she is angry, let her know the news. It would be best if she gets sick from anger."
"This will also help Murong Chuan avoid being labeled as an unfilial son."
"Everyone saw the old lady hitting Murong Chuan with a stick. If the old lady gets sick from anger at this time, then people will spread that Murong Chuan is unfilial, and his reputation will be ruined."
Jiang Zhinian would do anything that was disadvantageous to Murong Chuan.
Wei Dao asked, "Master, do you need me to do something?"
"No, don't underestimate this old lady."
After a pause, Jiang Zhinian instructed: "Also check whether the people who served the old lady back then are still alive."
"They must know something about the old lady's past, or some secrets."
Any speculation must be based on evidence.
