Liu was extremely panicked, thinking to herself that the old marquis had gone crazy, sending her to the farm based on random guesses. Why hadn't this old man died yet?

"No one can be questioned about what I say. Send him away immediately." The old marquis said angrily.

As soon as these words came out, Liu's eyes rolled back and she fainted.

"Oh, Madam, what happened to you? Call a doctor quickly!" Nanny Zhou shouted hurriedly.

"Mother!" Su Yunrou also ran to Liu's side, looked at her with a worried look on her face, then knelt down and cried to the old marquis:

"Grandfather, please have mercy and save my mother first! My father is gone, and I can't live without my mother!"

Su Yunrou kowtowed repeatedly, tears dripping from her eyes. It seemed as if the old marquis was trying to force Liu to death.

Su Qingwan retracted her gaze and revealed a barely perceptible smile. Liu's trick of pretending to faint was quite effective. She must have been ill for a long time.

Seeing how things had turned out, the old marquis knew that if he sent Liu to the farm now, rumors would spread that he was mistreating his daughter-in-law harshly after his son died.

"Send Liu back to Tinglan Garden and have the doctor check her out."

The old marquis waved his hands, feeling tired. With a gloomy face, he watched Liu being taken away by Su Yunrou and others, and felt a lump of anger in his chest.

I thought I would have a great-grandson soon, but in the blink of an eye, his great-grandson turned into a pool of blood.

What an injustice!

It’s all injustice!

The old marquis was out of energy and didn't bother to talk to the people in the third house. He asked someone to help him leave.

As soon as he left, the rest of the people naturally had to leave too. Xiao Kang was carried back by Nanny Ji. Jiang called Su Qingwan and Su Yuewen to leave as well, but unexpectedly Su Zhiru suddenly spoke:

"Qingwan, you shouldn't have made such a random suggestion just now."

Seeing that he was actually blaming her daughter for this matter, Jiang Shi immediately turned cold and said, "My daughter is thinking about the reputation of the Marquisate. It's not random advice. Besides, the old Marquis didn't say that her advice was wrong. You'd better keep quiet."

After she finished speaking, she took Su Qingwan and walked away, but before she had taken two steps, she turned back and said, "Think about the divorce again."

Su Zhiru did not expect that Jiang had not given up the idea of ​​divorcing him. He frowned and could only watch Jiang and her daughter leave.

When they returned to Helin Garden, Jiang was afraid that Su Qingwan would be sad, so she kept talking to her for a while before letting her go back to rest.

The next day was the first day of the new year. After Su Qingwan and her elder brother Su Yuewen went to wish their parents a happy new year, they went to the main courtyard together.

But when they arrived, the doctor was also here.

"How is the Marquis?" Su Zhiru asked.

"Third Master, the old marquis had a nightmare last night. The doctor said he was frightened. He just drank a tranquilizing soup and is now resting." said the attendant.

"In that case, you should take good care of the Marquis. We are going to Prince Yi's mansion and will come to see him when we come back."

Su Zhiru gave an explanation.

Jiang naturally didn't want to ride in the same carriage with Su Zhiru, so she let her son ride in one with him, and she sat with Su Qingwan.

Inside the carriage, the father and son looked at each other in silence.

In fact, Su Yuewen still had more feelings. He still remembered that when he was a child, he admired his father very much, but he didn't expect that his father could not escape the tenderness and care of a woman.

"Ahem, there's news in the palace, do you know?" Su Zhiru started coughing. He had been taking medicine all the time, but his health was sometimes good and sometimes bad, and was never satisfactory.

"I don't know."

Su Yuewen's eyes moved. He had already guessed what his father was going to say. It was probably related to the position of the eldest son of the Marquis' Mansion. This matter had been told to him on the day his sister went to pick him up.

Although he had no intention of becoming the crown prince, his sister was right. He had to be her and Yue Wu's backer, and it was always good to have a lordship.

Su Zhiru looked at him for a few seconds before saying, "You'll know later, ahem!"

Hearing his cough, Su Yuewen's eyes were filled with emotion for a moment, then returned to calm.

"Father, you should take better care of yourself. When I came back this time, I found that you have lost a lot of weight."

"Ok, I know."

Su Zhiru said this, but he had already changed several doctors, but there was not much improvement. Maybe he really shouldn't drag down the Jiang family anymore.

The carriage soon arrived at the palace. After Su Qingwan followed her parents and brothers to meet the elders of the palace, she was left alone by her uncle to talk.

"Qingwan, the northern border is going to be in chaos." The old prince sounded worried.

This year was exceptionally cold, so the Huns invaded ahead of schedule, and the fact that my uncle handed over the tiger talisman caused some unrest in the morale of the border troops, which was not a good sign.

"Uncle, Prince An has already arrived in the northern border. There won't be any chaos over there."

Su Qingwan said with certainty.

"Really?"

The old prince stared at Su Qingwan. Was there something he didn't know?

"Really? If the emperor dared to send Prince An to the northern border, he must have considered the possibility of chaos, so he must have made arrangements in advance."

The old prince walked around the room thoughtfully for a few times, and suddenly said, "Do you think it's feasible for me to go to the North quietly?"

"Uncle, you'd better give up such a dangerous idea. I guess as soon as you leave the capital, our heads will be moved away."

Su Qingwan smiled.

Although it was not that serious, she could not let her uncle go to the Northern Territory. It was too dangerous! Moreover, Li Yuncheng also had arrangements in the Northern Territory.

"Pooh! It's New Year's Day, why are you saying such unlucky things?" The old prince quickly corrected.

Su Qingwan also followed his wishes and pouted a few times, which made the old prince happy.

They didn't stay in the palace for too long and soon returned to the marquis's palace.

Before Su Qingwan walked back to Fuguang Courtyard, she saw Nanny Ji standing at the gate of the courtyard, waiting for her with an anxious look on her face.

When she saw me coming back, she hurried over, bowed and said, "Fourth Miss, you are finally back. Second Madam invites you to come and sit with her."

Su Qingwan guessed that Xiaokang would definitely look for her, but she didn't expect that he would come today.

"Okay, I'll be there right away." Su Qingwan said, and then turned to Shanhu and instructed, "Bring the gift prepared for the Second Madam."

The group went to the courtyard of the second house. After Su Qingwan walked into the wing room, she found that Xiaokang's face was pale, her eyes were red and swollen, and she looked like she had lost hope.

"Second aunt, why are you doing this?"

Su Qingwan hurried forward, her face full of heartache.

"Qingwan, Second Aunt is useless. She actually killed her own grandson and Yue Qi's only bloodline. I regret it so much! Woo woo woo..."

When Xiaokang heard what Su Qingwan said, she couldn't help but started crying again.

Su Qingwan quickly wiped away her tears with a handkerchief and comforted her softly:

"Second aunt, please don't blame yourself. Grandfather has already become suspicious after what happened last night. He will not allow the bloodline of the Marquisate to be mixed up, so it's not your fault."
