Cen Ying had someone quietly call Li Shan over and whispered, "You don't need to wait on Jiang Chengyi. Follow Wei Sheng quietly and don't let the Wei family find out."

"Yes." Li Shan took the order and left.

Even though he didn't know why the marquis's wife ignored her injured son and instead asked him to take care of her cousin, it was not something a servant like him should be responsible for, so he could only obey the order.

After dealing with the matters in the backyard, Cen Jie hurried to the southwest yard to comfort Jiang Chengyi.

But before she arrived at the place, she learned that Jiang Chengyi had fainted and was sent to the front yard to rest.

She didn't care about anything at the moment and ran straight to the front yard.

"Master, has the doctor come to see him? How is Yi'er?" She immediately grabbed Wei Xian and asked.

"The doctor examined me and said it was just a moment of emotional excitement and I will be sober soon."

Hearing this, Cen Jie immediately breathed a sigh of relief, as if nothing serious was wrong.

She walked over, took out a handkerchief, soaked it, and carefully wiped Jiang Chengyi's face. She then carefully touched his forehead and was relieved when she saw that his breathing was steady.

"I heard that it was Cen Ying who beat Yi Ge'er in public, which made Yi Ge'er faint from anger. How could she do that? It was obvious that she wanted to torture Yi Ge'er. I--" Cen Jie couldn't help but complain.

Wei Xian quickly winked at her, and she stopped talking. The couple left one after another.

Jiang Chengyi, who was lying on the bed, immediately opened his eyes quietly. Seeing that he was the only one in the room, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. Pretending to faint is a technical job, and he almost got exposed.

Unfortunately, he didn't hear what his aunt said next. He always felt that what his aunt was going to say next was very important, and it was most likely going to scold Cen.

If it had happened before, Jiang Chengyi would have definitely felt uncomfortable. His mother was being scolded, and as a son, he would inevitably feel uncomfortable.

But now, he seemed to be gloating. After all, Cen Ying had been so mean recently, beating and scolding him.

He was a vengeful person, and even his own mother would be blamed by him.

But there was also a good thing. His aunt and uncle were really kind to him from the bottom of their hearts. He decided that he must find a way to marry his cousin and let the Wei family get on board the big ship of the Loyalty Marquis' Mansion.

The Wei couple came to the east wing and drove away the servants, leaving only the two of them in the inner room. After making sure that no one was eavesdropping, they breathed a sigh of relief.

"Did you almost let the cat out of the bag just now?" Wei Xian asked in a reproachful tone.

"At that time, there were only you, me and Brother Yi there, so we didn't have to worry about being heard." Cen Jie didn't care.

"What should we do if Brother Yi happens to wake up? Although we must tell him about this in the future, he is so young now and cannot hide anything. If he reveals even a little bit to the Wei family, the entire Wei family will be in trouble!" Wei Xian glared at her and said coldly.

Even though Cen Jie still didn't feel anything in her heart, she still pretended to be terrified and said quickly, "Master is right. This will never happen again."

"I'm not blaming you, but this matter is of great importance. We have big ambitions. The future of the Wei family depends entirely on Brother Yi." Seeing that she knew the situation, Wei Xian immediately softened his tone and tried to coax her.

Cen Jie was naturally happy to be coaxed by the man, but she still felt unwilling when she thought of everything that happened in the Southwest Courtyard.

"Master, I know Cen Ying's personality best. She is very domineering and cannot tolerate any injustice. She was like this when she was a girl at home. Now that she is a grandmother, she will only get worse. You saw how she beat Yi Ge'er. Before you came, she even beat me. Tell me, what exactly is she trying to do? Is she doubting the identity of the two children?"

When the issue of identity was brought up, Wei Xian's face changed. Obviously, after doing such a bad thing, even he couldn't remain calm.

However, he quickly regained his composure and said decisively, "Impossible. This matter is known only to heaven, earth, you and me. Even the person who swapped the child was kept in the dark. How did Cen know about it?"

Cen Jie breathed a sigh of relief, and the doubts in her heart were put aside, but she still felt uncomfortable.

"Master, when can we start planning? Seeing that the children are getting older, Jiaojiao should get married. There were two good candidates for marriage before, but I thought that Yi Ge'er would become the prince of the Marquis's Mansion in the future, and he would definitely protect Jiaojiao, his biological sister, so I rejected them both."

"But I'm also afraid something might happen. If Jiaojiao gets older, all the good men will be picked up by others, and she will become an old maid and it will be difficult for her to get married!"

I have to say that Cen Jie is very ambitious.

Not only did she want Jiang Chengyi to be the crown prince, she also wanted her daughter to benefit from his status and marry a man from a higher family.

"Be patient. When Yi'er is a few years older, passes the imperial examination, and has a firm foothold in the Marquis of Loyalty, we can take action and kill or maim Jiang Chengzhong and Jiang Chengli. By then, there will only be the second illegitimate son and the fourth legitimate son left. Your legitimate sister will naturally stand on Yi'er's side. Cen Ying is an orphan with a widowed mother, and she is weak and powerless. She must use all the forces that can be united. At that time, our Wei family will come over and help Yi'er take the position. From then on, everything in the Marquis of Loyalty will be decided by us!"

Wei Xian had obviously thought about this problem a long time ago, and he spoke about it in an orderly manner, as if he was confident.

This man is quite insidious. He makes murder and arson sound so light. Not only does he want to help Jiang Chengyi seize the position of the crown prince, he also wants to make the Loyalty Marquis's mansion extinct.

"Master has thought it through. The Jiang family has been in the army for generations. They fight on the battlefield. Swords have no mercy. Maybe we don't even need to do anything. All the men in the Jiang family will die. By then, only our brother Yi will be left. He will inherit the mansion directly, and no one will have any objection."

"When that time comes, I must be alive and well. When my elder sister is about to die, I must sit by her bedside and tell her the good news. At least I will let her know the truth and make sure she dies with her eyes open!"

Cen Jie immediately smiled and couldn't help but start imagining the future.

"Madam is so kind. Even though Cen Ying treats you harshly, you still remember to sympathize with her." Wei Xian held her hand and spoke sarcastically.

The couple looked at each other and couldn't help laughing. They were obviously mesmerized by the bright prospects they had imagined and felt that their future was bright.

"Master, Madam, the Marquis's wife is going to take our cousin away." A servant's report came from outside, and the two of them rushed out immediately.

***

When Cen rushed to the front yard, Jiang Chengyi was still lying on the bed with his eyes closed, obviously still in a "comatose" state.

Xu Wanying was waiting outside and couldn't help but mutter to the system: [Why is he still unconscious? Is he pretending? ]

The system immediately replied: [He must be pretending. He is playing the victim to Cen. ]

[Heh, you bastard, he is simply a cuckoo, occupying the magpie's nest and trying to compete for the favor of someone else's mother. I have to expose his true identity when I get back! ]

Cen was some distance away from her and couldn't hear clearly, but she could understand the general meaning, which instantly aroused a surge of anger.

Li Shan was transferred away by her. At this moment, almost all the servants serving Jiang Chengyi were from the Wei family, with only one from the Jiang family.

She waved to the boy and whispered a word of advice.

The Jiang family servant was slightly startled and glanced at Cen hesitantly. When he saw that the marquis's wife was looking at him seriously, he took the order and left.

"It's getting late, and we can't leave Yi'er here. Let's carry him to the carriage." Cen ordered.

Several servants immediately took orders and rushed forward to carry the body. However, after they had taken a few steps away from the bed, the servant from the Jiang family stumbled and lost his grip.

With a loud "thump", Jiang Chengyi fell directly to the ground, face down. He was so dizzy that he screamed on the spot.

"what--"

His entire face hit the ground first, and his nose and forehead were sore from the impact. He couldn't bear it at all, so he shouted out, and naturally his disguise failed.
