Seeing the questioning face of the Duke of Zhenguo, Jiang Wanqing slowly explained: "Today, my elder brother and I attended the palace banquet together, so I wanted to come and see my father."

"Is that so?" Upon hearing this, the Duke of Zhenguo was relieved. He thought something had happened.

Jiang Wanqing exchanged pleasantries with the Duke of Zhenguo again and then said goodbye.

Jiang Lingyi said, "Little sister, I'll see you off."

Jiang Lingyi left the house with Jiang Wanqing.

"Little sister." Just as Jiang Wanqing was about to leave, Jiang Lingyi suddenly called her.

Now, there was no one else outside the hospital, and the imperial doctors who had been there before had long been sent away by Eunuch Fang Su.

Jiang Wanqing stopped and looked at Jiang Lingyi: "Brother, is there anything else?"

Jiang Lingyi's handsome face was filled with a trace of sadness: "Although I don't know what kind of relationship you have with Eunuch Fang Su, but... he is famous for his cruelty and violence. You should be careful when you get along with him."

Jiang Wanqing smiled and nodded: "Okay, I understand, big brother."

Jiang Lingyi sighed and said nothing more.

The two of them then walked towards the door of the Duke of Zhenguo.

Eunuch Fang Su folded his arms across his chest and looked at Zhou Zigu.

Zhou Zigu also looked unwilling, yet helpless.

When Zhou Zigu saw Jiang Wanqing appear, a smile suddenly appeared on his face and he was about to step forward.

Eunuch Fang Su raised the sword in his hand and pointed it at Zhou Zigu, making Zhou Zigu dare not get any closer.

Zhou Zigu looked at Eunuch Fang Su defensively, with a hint of displeasure in his eyes.

The next moment, when he saw Jiang Wanqing appear in front of him, he smiled again: "Madam."

Eunuch Fang Su's eyes flickered, with a hint of displeasure.

Jiang Wanqing nodded to Zhou Zigu.

Then he turned back to look at Jiang Lingyi, with a hint of worry on his face: "Brother, you don't have to send me off. I'll leave my father to you. If... my father has any discomfort, you must send someone to deliver a letter to the Marquis of Xingchang's mansion."

Jiang Lingyi responded, "Don't worry, little sister. I will take care of father. With the help of the Imperial Hospital, father will be fine."

Zhou Zigu, who was standing aside, looked at Jiang Wanqing suspiciously.

I just felt that the worry on Jiang Wanqing's face was not fake.

After saying goodbye to Jiang Lingyi, Jiang Wanqing and Zhou Zigu returned to the carriage.

On the carriage, Jiang Wanqing lifted the curtain and looked at Jiang Lingyi.

Jiang Wanqing waited until the other person disappeared before she let down the curtain.

Zhou Zigu, who was standing by, saw this and after some consideration, he asked tentatively, "Is my father-in-law okay?"

Jiang Wanqing's face suddenly showed some sadness.

He sighed and shook his head: "Father is much weaker than the last time I saw him. The people in the Imperial Hospital are trying to find a way to help him."

Zhou Zigu raised his eyes with a hint of doubt in his eyes: "But why did His Majesty ask Eunuch Fang Su to come here..."

If we ask the people from the Imperial Hospital to come, it would still make sense to explain it.

But why did we ask Eunuch Fang Su to come?

Protect the Duke of Zhenguo?

Jiang Wanqing understood the problem that Zhou Zigu couldn't figure out.

The fear was that His Majesty wanted Eunuch Fang Su to look after the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion. He was afraid that the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion had the intention of plotting to usurp the throne, and he was also afraid that the Duke Zhenguo was not sick.

As long as the Duke of Zhenguo is kept under our noses, then every move of the other party can be controlled.

However, despite all the calculations, His Majesty had missed one thing.

That is, Eunuch Fang Su is not his man.

Thinking of this, Jiang Wanqing explained: "Perhaps, His Majesty is worried about the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion and is afraid that it will be searched for no reason again, so he asked Eunuch Fang Su to protect the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion."

After hearing this, Zhou Zigu didn't say anything else.

But there were still many doubts in his heart.

He also didn't know how to explain to His Royal Highness Prince Cheng'an.

He even had no way of meeting His Royal Highness Prince Cheng'an because of the other party's house arrest.

Zhou Zigu sighed and glanced at Jiang Wanqing with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

The carriage finally came to the front of the Marquis of Xingchang's mansion.

As soon as the carriage stopped, a servant came quickly to support it.

This time, Shui Yun rushed between Zhou Zigu and helped Jiang Wanqing up.

The group stepped into the Marquis of Xingchang's Mansion.

However, before reaching the main hall of the Marquis of Xingchang's Mansion, he heard a loud noise.

"I told you not to go, but you insisted on going. Now, what trouble have you caused?"

"It doesn't matter if you get into trouble, but now you are the second concubine of the Xingchang Marquis's Mansion. Your every move represents the Xingchang Marquis's Mansion!"

"You are a concubine, but you always want to do things that only the main wife can do. It's fine if you do it, but why don't you keep a low profile!"

"Now, the Zhou family is already not blessed by the emperor, and you still come here for this!"

"Can't you suppress your little thoughts? Can't you be patient? Do you know that Zi Gu has been..."

This time, before Mrs. Zhou finished her words,

Zhou Zigu hurriedly took a few steps forward.

Before he even reached her, he raised his voice and interrupted her: "Why is mother so angry? Who made her unhappy? My wife and I just came home and heard the noise."

Zhou Zigu was afraid that if he didn't interrupt Old Madam Zhou, she would reveal all her secrets in the next second.

When Old Madam Zhou heard the voice, she turned around and saw Zhou Zigu and Jiang Wanqing walking slowly towards them.

When she saw Jiang Wanqing, Old Madam Zhou raised her eyebrows and couldn't help but recall what she had just said and whether she had mentioned anything that shouldn't have been mentioned.

Jiang Wanqing bowed to Madam Zhou and said, "Mother-in-law."

But his eyes were looking at Song Nansheng beside him.

At this moment, Song Nansheng was kneeling on the ground.

Come to think of it, she had just been listening to Madam Zhou's scolding.

Unexpectedly, when Jiang Wanqing appeared here this time, Song Nansheng did not look at Jiang Wanqing with hatred.

Instead, the whole person seemed to have lost his soul, as if his spirit had been sucked away.

Jiang Wanqing sighed and couldn't help but think of what had happened in the Imperial Garden before.

It seems that Song Nansheng is too disappointed with the man next to her.

Madam Zhou glanced at Song Nansheng and said to Zhou Zigu, "I heard from others that Nansheng made some jokes at the banquet and even dared to argue with the official's wife. It was really embarrassing for the Xingchang Marquisate!"

Zhou Zigu looked down at the quiet Song Nansheng and couldn't help feeling a little guilty.
