Wei Dao took the order and went to do the work. Jiang Zhinian packed up, calculated the time, and took the fake medicine he had prepared.

In order to deal with Murong Chuan, she prepared a lot of medicine.

So when Murong Chuan came to Zhuangzi and wanted to see Jiang Zhinian.

Lian Qiao's eyes were red, she was crying and choking, saying, "Why did you come just now, my Lord? My Lady has been ill for several days."

"It snowed heavily a few days ago, and we couldn't call a doctor. Madam was seriously ill with a fever and talking nonsense. I was worried that she wouldn't make it."

"Fortunately, we later asked a doctor to check on my wife, and she is no longer in danger of death..."

Lian Qiao described Jiang Zhinian's condition as being very serious.

Murong Chuan was originally filled with rage and resentment towards Jiang Zhinian.

Especially because of Mu Tie's death, Murong Chuan would not look for the reasons in himself, but blamed it all on Jiang Zhinian.

He felt that if Jiang Zhinian had not come to Zhuangzi, he would not have sent Mu Tie over, and Mu Tie would not have died.

He even thought about launching an expedition to hold him accountable.

But when he suddenly heard what Lian Qiao said, Murong Chuan's heart skipped a beat and he was stunned.

He hoped that something would happen to Jiang Zhinian so that he could take possession of her dowry and everything she had, but he didn't want it to happen at this time.

Now noble families have set up stalls at the city gates to distribute porridge.

The Marquis' Mansion cannot fall behind.

"Where is the lady?"

"Woo woo, the lady is lying in the house, and the Marquis doesn't even bother to come and care about her."

Anyway, the madam said that the Marquis must not be allowed to see any of her thoughts.

She did whatever her lady told her to do.

Murong Chuan hurried into the house and smelled a strong smell of medicine.

Murong Chuan felt like vomiting reflexively because of the smell.

But he still remembered what he came here to do.

When he came to the bed, he saw Jiang Zhinian lying on the bed with a pale face.

Murong Chuan was completely shocked.

“Chinen, you…”

At this moment, Murong Chuan was so frightened that he had no time to raise an army to question the culprit or to show any emotion.

At this moment, he was really afraid that Jiang Zhinian would suddenly die.

Although he was angry with Jiang Zhinian for some things, even though he hated her to death, he would not let Jiang Zhinian die at this time.

Jiang Zhinian's eyes turned red, and she looked at Murong Chuan with tears in her eyes and said, "My Lord, I... I may not be able to survive any longer..."

Murong Chuan's eyelids jumped in shock. "No, don't say that. What do you mean you're dying? You're fine. You'll be fine."

"Just what's wrong with you?"

"Why did it suddenly become like this? Why is there no one to serve you?"

At this moment, seeing Jiang Zhinian like this, Murong Chuan felt a little complicated, a feeling that was hard to describe.

Jiang Zhinian said weakly: "It's enough to have Lianqiao by my side."

"Anyway, I'm sick and can't eat much, so I just take some medicine. I don't need anyone to wait on me."

"The Marquis finally came to see me!"

Murong Chuan said with a stiff expression: "You will be fine."

Murong Chuan looked at Lian Qiao and said, "Lian Qiao, you serve the Madam like this and make her sick. What crime should you be punished for?"

Lian Qiao grumbled in dissatisfaction: "Madam was originally in good health. It was all because of that Mu Tie. He woke Madam up in the middle of the night and insisted that he was ordered by the Marquis to go back..."

"It was already so cold when it snowed heavily, and Madam didn't even bring any thick clothes, so she had to come out of the house to argue with Mu Tie. Who would have thought that Mu Tie would even threaten Madam..."

"Ah, poor lady, she had to stay outside in the snow for so long. After Mu Tie left, she became ill."

"It was snowing so heavily that we couldn't go out, the carriage couldn't move, and we couldn't even call a doctor. Madam had a fever and was seriously ill for several days, and it got worse and worse..."

"If the snow hadn't melted a little in the past two days and we had called a doctor, my wife might have..."

Lian Qiao couldn’t say the rest and started crying.

When Murong Chuan heard these words, his face turned pale and blue.

Originally he wanted to bring an army to hold him accountable, but after hearing these words, Murong Chuan naturally could not admit that this matter had anything to do with him.

We can't even raise an army to hold them accountable.

Little did he know that Jiang Zhinian did this on purpose to determine Mu Tie's guilt first.

Blame the illness on Mu Tie.

In this way, Murong Chuan could definitely not blame her for Mu Tie's death.

Don't even mention it.

What's more, Murong Chuan came here mainly to invite her back and use her to provide porridge.

Unless he was extremely stupid, he would not dare to displease her at this time.

Sure enough, Murong Chuan lowered his voice and said, "Chinian, you misunderstood. It was Mu Tie who falsely passed on the order. It has nothing to do with me."

"I was worried about you, so I arranged for Mu Tie to come and take a look. I never thought he would take the initiative to say something like that."

"Someone must have been gossiping about him. He was indeed disrespectful to his superiors by saying that. If he weren't already dead, I would have punished him according to family rules."

Murong Chuan looked like he was completely on Jiang Zhinian's side.

When it comes to acting, Jiang Zhinian is also good at it.

So Jiang Zhinian appropriately showed a very shocked expression, "Ahem... How could he, how could he die?"

"Mu Tie was your man, how could he die?"

Murong Chuan had been watching Jiang Zhinian's expression. When he clearly saw Jiang Zhinian's surprised and shocked expression, he no longer had any doubts in his heart.

It looked like it was just a coincidence. He must have overthought it. It probably had nothing to do with Jiang Zhinian.

"He froze to death on the way back from Zhuangzi."

Jiang Zhinian grabbed Murongchuan's hand tightly and said anxiously, "My Lord, Mu Tie is very important to us. He is also good at boxing and kicking. How could he freeze to death? Did the enemies of our mansion deliberately attack us?"

"They must have been keeping an eye on the Marquis' Mansion and deliberately looking for an opportunity to kill Mu Tie. Mu Tie must have injuries on his body. Are there any signs of a fight?"

Jiang Zhinian looked extremely distressed and spoke completely from the perspective of the Marquis' Mansion.

Of course, he quietly led the focus towards the enemies of the Marquis' Mansion so that Murong Chuan would think in that direction.

Anyway, the Marquis' Mansion was involved in the Regent case that year, and it did have some more political enemies in the court.

Murong Chuan followed this line of thought and his eyes became angry.

"You don't have to worry about it. If he dies, he dies. The key is to take good care of your body."

"But right now, an important matter has occurred in the Marquis' Mansion. Chinian, whether our Marquis' Mansion can survive this difficult time now depends on you."

Murong Chuan still remembered the purpose of his visit.

The main purpose was to get Jiang Zhinian to take out food and money to provide porridge.

This farm is so big. In the past, all the grain was transported to the marquis's mansion, and now the grain must be stored in the farm.

When Murong Chuan lowered his head, a calculating light flashed in his eyes.
