Duke Weiguo, Old Madam Xie, and Xie's mother all looked at Xie Zhichan in confusion.

Xie Zhichan's eyes darkened, and he said, "Father, mother, and grandmother may not know that I fell ill soon after I arrived at the manor, and was bedridden for several years. It was not until I asked a literate woman at the manor to teach me how to read that I began to look for some medical books, and then I slowly discovered that I was not sick, but had been given a chronic poison. After I came back, Aunt Li in Yang's room felt guilty and often had nightmares. In order to feel at ease, she told me the truth that Yang had poisoned me."

Mother Xie was horrified when she heard this. She remembered how pale she looked when she just came back, and asked, "Can the poison in your body be cured?"

Xie Zhichan patted his mother's hand and said, "Don't worry, mother. After Nanny Li told me what the poison was, I made an antidote myself and it removed most of the poison. Now I'm fine."

Mother Xie cried to Duke Weiguo, "Master, Concubine Yang has such a vicious heart. She gave birth to Zhu's child, and she wants to destroy your true bloodline."

After saying this, she wiped her tears with her handkerchief, but secretly looked at the expression of Duke Weiguo. She saw that his face became more and more gloomy, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, which disappeared in an instant.

Duke Wei slammed the bed heavily and said angrily: "This vicious woman, I will not spare her life!"

Xie Zhichan said, "Father is willing to make the decision for me, and I am very grateful. But, she is Chang'er's biological mother after all. It doesn't matter that Chang'er is young now, but when he grows up, he may not be unaware of his mother's affairs. When he hates the Duke's Mansion, he may want to blame his brother. This is better to resolve the feud than to create one. It would be better for father to spare her life and send her to the family temple, so that she can repent in front of the Bodhisattva."

Death is the most satisfying relief, she will not let that vicious woman who can kill even a six-year-old child get away with it. She wants her to live and watch, watching everything she wants but never get it in her lifetime.

Duke Wei was silent for a moment, which was considered as his agreement.

He immediately called his personal attendant to help him to the front hall, and without saying a word, asked Old Master Zhu and Master Zhu to take Chang'er away.

He also sent people to tie up Aunt Yang and send her to the Xie family temple.

Xie Wenchang hugged Aunt Yang and cried for a long time. Xie Zhining didn't know what had happened and just hugged Duke Weiguo's legs and begged.

Duke Weiguo was annoyed by the crying. Although he was not sure whether Xie Zhining was his child, he felt uncomfortable as he had doubts in his heart.

Then he had Xie Zhining tied up as well and sent him to the ancestral temple to take care of Aunt Yang.

The crowd made a commotion again, and after everyone was sent away, the sky above the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion finally became quiet.

Pei Yi and Xie Zhichan took advantage of the moonlight and returned to Prince Yan's Mansion before curfew.

As soon as we arrived at the gate of Prince Yan's Mansion, we saw a carriage parked there. Several servants from the palace, under the instructions of a maid, were moving the luggage on the carriage to Prince Yan's Mansion.

Judging from the styles and patterns of those boxes and cages, they should contain women's things.

Xie Zhichan looked at Pei Yi in confusion and asked, "Is it your elder sister who has returned? Or is it one of the aunties who has returned?"

But Pei Yi frowned slightly, touched his nose with his fingers, and said, "Neither."

But he still didn't know what happened. He recognized the maid, Gan Cao who worked beside Qin Baiwei. But why did Qin Baiwei's luggage have to be moved to the Prince of Yan's Mansion?

Just as he was about to catch a servant to ask, Pei Jingyu came out timidly. Seeing his brother and sister-in-law, he bowed and greeted them, then smiled and said to Pei Yi, "Brother, do you know that Sister Qin has followed the order of the Queen Mother and has come to the Prince of Yan's mansion to treat you. Even Uncle Qin said that Sister Qin's talent in medicine is better than his. With Sister Qin here, she will definitely find a way to cure you completely."

After hearing this, Xie Zhichan couldn't help but look at Pei Yi, and cursed in his heart with some disgust, saying that handsome men are always attracting bees and butterflies. Even though he is sitting in a wheelchair and Xiao Pei has suspended his business, there are still people chasing him home. I don't know whether to say that Pei Yi is too charming, or Qin Baiwei is too love-brained?

Qin Baiwei must have panicked when she saw that the emperor had arranged for her to marry Pei Yi. She had to hurry to guard the palace. Since she was able to obtain the empress dowager's decree, she did not ask for a status of equal wife and concubine to enter the palace directly, but asked for a decree to become a doctor. This meant that she had made up her mind to wait until she gave up the position of the crown prince's consort before she could take the position!

This Qin Baiwei is quite interesting. She doesn't want the position of the legal wife.

Pei Yi felt guilty for no reason when being looked at by Xie Zhichan. He coughed lightly and said, "I just came back too, and I just found out about this. I'm serious."

Dan Feng heard the strong desire to survive in his master's tone, and immediately agreed: "I can testify for you! You definitely didn't lie!"

Xie Zhichan retracted his gaze, thinking that she was just a nominal prince's consort anyway, and only said: "The prince is really lucky with women, but we have agreed that whoever attracts the peach blossoms will deal with them, I don't care."

Although it feels good to slap the green tea girl in the face, participating in the female competition is not her hobby. What's more, she is just the legal wife in name only. There is no need for that. Wouldn't it be better to get more beauty sleep?

So he went to Tingxueju first.

Pei Yi asked Dan Feng, "What does she mean by that?"

Dan Feng affirmed: "The Crown Prince's Consort is jealous."

Pei Yi recalled the tone of Xie Zhichan's voice, making sure that he didn't hear any sourness in it. He glanced at Dan Feng's silly face with disdain, thinking that he shouldn't have asked a fool.

Not long after Pei Yi returned to Tingxueju, Dan Feng came to report that Qin Baiwei was coming to take Pei Yi's pulse.

Since the Queen Mother had issued an order, Pei Yi had no choice but to cooperate. He looked at Xie Zhichan and asked, "Do you have any medicine that can help me change my pulse?"

Xie Zhichan raised his eyebrows and glanced at Pei Yi, thinking, poor love-brained Qin Zhen has really given his heart to the wrong person, it turns out that this naturally suspicious prince doesn't even trust his childhood sweetheart!

No wonder they had to go to so much trouble to get her into Prince Yan's mansion just to get her treated!

She reached into her sleeves and rummaged around for a moment, then took out a khaki paper bag and handed it to Pei Yi, saying, "One pill at a time."

Pei Yi opened it and saw many small round white particles. He picked up one and ate it, then put the rest into his sleeve pocket and said to Xie Zhichan, "Thank you, Crown Princess."

Only then did Dan Feng invite Qin Baiwei to the side hall for receiving guests, and let Xie Zhichan push him there.

Xie Zhichan glanced at Pei Yi and said, "You are meeting your childhood sweetheart. Are you sure you want me to come over?"

Pei Yi frowned slightly, inexplicably feeling that the name "little childhood sweetheart" was a bit harsh, and said, "Since we are already married, of course we should bring the Crown Prince's Consort along to avoid suspicion."

Xie Zhichan decisively refused: "No. Your green plum is sour, I don't want to go and cause hatred. It is fatal to offend a woman who knows medicine, I cherish my life."

Pei Yi used silver to persuade him, "There are still a few thousand taels left in the ten thousand taels of silver. I can risk my life to play Landlord with the Crown Prince's Concubine all night long."

Xie Zhichan: “…”

Xie Zhichan pushed Pei Yi out of the door, muttering to himself: Money is the foundation of life, and it is not shameful to bow down for money.
