Su smiled, "Xijie, you did a great job. I am very pleased that you sisters can help each other. But it is easy for others to find fault with you. Next time, please be more secretive and don't damage the reputation of Prince Rong's Mansion."

Yan Muxi smiled sweetly at her, "Don't worry, mother. The Rong Palace never cares about illusory reputation. My daughter is acting so high-profile just to let the entire palace know that the sister of the Rong Prince's wife is not someone that anyone can bully."

Su looked at her second daughter, who was smiling like a flower, and was deeply moved for a moment.

Among her three daughters of similar age, she always thought that the eldest daughter was the smartest. Now she realized that her daughter was far inferior to the second daughter in terms of intelligence and perceptiveness.

Yan Muxi left Jin Chun and Dong Yu in the Marquis' Mansion, and Su also left Nanny Qu behind. With several people taking care of her until the incident was clarified, Yan Mujun's safety was temporarily not in jeopardy.

Three days later, Yin Xia reported the findings of the investigation to Yan Muxi.

Mrs. Sun's husband was a gatekeeper in the outer courtyard of the mansion, and their only daughter worked in the third house. The three members of the family were all servants of the mansion.

In addition, there is a promising nephew in Sun Po's hometown who passed the imperial examination last year and got a job as a county magistrate. Sun Po's hometown is under the jurisdiction of the second wife Tian's brother.

Scheming only arises when there is a conflict of interest. Tian schemed against Yan Muyun several times just to fight for the title of Marquis.

When dealing with an enemy, you either have to not take action or if you do, you have to grasp the opponent's lifeline.

Tian had only one legitimate son, the fifth child in the family. He had been in poor health since childhood and was spoiled by Tian until he became a useless person.

Gu Laowu has been having affairs with women and abducting women for many years, but he has avoided getting into any serious trouble because of the protection provided by the Dingbei Marquisate and the Tian family.

Yan Muxi thought about it, and ordered Yin Xia, "Send someone to keep an eye on the Marquis' Mansion, and take action as soon as the fifth son of the Gu family goes out. Solve the matter before the New Year, so that the third sister can have a peaceful New Year!"

Tian's lifeline is her only son. If her lifeline is cut off, she will no longer have the need to harm others to compete for the title.

As long as Tian is not stupid, she will behave herself. The second house, whose male offspring has been destroyed, needs the protection of the Marquis' Mansion even more.

In the afternoon, news was brought back home that Gu Laowu's penis was damaged and he had no ability to reproduce.

Yan Muxi was very surprised, "How could this be, was it not explained clearly?"

She wanted to cripple one of Gu Laowu's legs, but she didn't say she wanted to cripple the leg that was used for sex!

Yin Xia denied, "It wasn't our people who did it. Before our people could do anything, something happened to Gu Laowu."

Yan Muxi was even more surprised. It was definitely not a coincidence that Gu Laoer got into trouble at this critical moment.

As for who did it, it was not difficult to guess. Apart from Gu Yunting, who was venting his anger for his wife and children, Yan Yongchen was the only one who had the motive to take action against the second branch of the Gu family.

Directly destroying someone's life, Yan Muxi felt that it was more like the work of Yan Yongchen. As an elder, Gu Yunting might give Gu Laowu a beating, but he would not do such a cruel thing as cutting off the life of his own nephew.

Yan Muxi guessed correctly, it was indeed Yan Yongchen who did it.

At the Yan Mansion, Su learned from Nanny Guan that something had happened to Gu Laowu. She felt uneasy and ran to the study in the front yard to discuss it with Yan Yongchen.

"If something happens to the second branch of the Marquis's Mansion at this critical moment, will it involve our sister Yun?" Su was full of worry. She was afraid that the second branch would do something to hurt Yan Muyun in anger.

"Madam, don't worry. Sister Yun is the daughter of our Yan family. She is not someone who can be bullied by anyone who wants to." Yan Yongchen's expression and tone were calm.

Su suddenly realized, "Gu's Wulang was seriously injured. Could it be that the master ordered someone to do it?"

Seeing that Yan Yongchen did not deny it, Su was filled with shock.

She killed the man with one move, but she had no idea when her husband, who shared the same bed with her, became so cruel.

But on second thought, her husband was no longer the gentle and handsome third place winner, but a powerful cabinet official admired by everyone. Without some tricks, how could he have risen to the center of power in the Dafeng government?

As if he had guessed what she was thinking, Yan Yongchen put down the wolf hair brush in his hand, walked over from behind the table, took her hand and explained in a gentle voice: "The people in Dingbei Marquis' Mansion are confused and have many disputes. Only by taking ruthless measures to wake them up can our sister Yun live a peaceful life from now on."

Su suddenly remembered Yan Muxi's arrogant words and felt that the two were indeed father and daughter, as their words and behavior were exactly the same.

After sighing in her heart, Su thought of her own daughter again. Whenever she thought of her daughter being confined by the prince, she felt suffocated and uncomfortable.

"Master, have you spoken to the prince recently? I wonder how our sister Qing is doing?"

Yan Yongchen smiled helplessly, "Madam, you are really destined to worry. After worrying about the little ones, you have to worry about the big ones."

Su glared at him, "Whether it's Sister Qing or Sister Yun, I watched them grow up little by little. If they get bullied and get into trouble, how can I, as a mother, not be worried!"

Yan Yongchen patted Su's hand and said, "Madam, don't worry too much. Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been avoiding me recently, he can't say much. But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and our Sister Qing have been friends since childhood. Right now, the two of them are just having some awkward moments. After a while, when they calm down and think things through, they will definitely make peace."

"I hope so!" Su couldn't help but redden her eyes.

As a mother, she knew better than anyone how stubborn her daughter was. If the prince did not bow his head, her daughter would not easily give in.

If it were an ordinary couple, it would be fine. No matter who gave in first, they would always be able to reconcile.

But the prince is the crown prince of Dafeng, and the number of women in his backyard will increase day by day. Now, it is just because of a lowly actor that a rift has arisen between the two of them.

No matter how deep the friendship is, it cannot stop being divided and worn away.

At this time in the Dingbei Marquis Mansion, Tian had disheveled hair and red eyes and was trying to rush to Linfengju like a madman, but was stopped outside the gate by Dongyu, who was like a wall.

After being pushed down and getting up again, she got up and was pushed down again, and this repeated several times. Tian finally broke down and cried, screaming miserably, "Wuwuwu... Gu Yunting, Yan Muyun... Give me back my child, give me back my healthy child..."

Dong Yu scratched his ears and muttered softly, "Your child is a child, but other people's children are not children! The wicked will be punished by God if they do too much evil, it's just a matter of time."

Aunt Qu came out of the yard and asked Dongyu, "What happened? Did the second wife's child die?"

"He's not dead, it seems like someone has destroyed his life!" Dong Yu answered very loudly, fearing that Tian, ​​who was crying on the ground, couldn't hear him.

"Why are you crying so sadly when the person is not dead? Aren't you cursing your own son to death?" Nanny Qu's voice was loud and she emphasized the word 'die' on purpose.
