The screen was removed, and Aunt Liu finally saw the person behind the screen. She immediately widened her eyes and her face was filled with shock.

She thought that she could have the Marquis’ wife accompany her in person and keep Mu Wencheng alive for another day, so the identity of this audience must be very extraordinary.

But she never expected that they were the two daughters-in-law of the Marquis.

As a personal nanny who had served Cen for decades, she knew Cen very well. She attached great importance to rules and it was impossible for her to spoil her daughter-in-law like that.

Besides, although the Marquis's wife was not dissatisfied with her eldest daughter-in-law, she didn't like her to the extent of her not liking her either. How could she do such a thing?

Li Chunlan lowered her head and concentrated on eating melon seeds, trying hard to hide the smirk on her face.

She knew that she was able to enjoy the melon at such a close distance purely because of her third brother's wife.

After all, if I bring my third brother's wife alone to watch the fun, I'm afraid Xu Wanying will notice something or have wild thoughts.

My third brother's wife has a different way of thinking than ordinary people, and she can really come up with some unique ideas. It would be bad if she goes astray again.

After ruling out Li Chunlan, Nanny Liu looked at Xu Wanying and immediately had some guesses.

In the past, every time the Marquis's wife and the Marquis went to Qingxi Pavilion, they would come back with a big quarrel, and even threatened to divorce. At the time, she couldn't understand why, but now she thought that there must be something magical about this Third Lady.

However, she never had the chance to figure out what the differences were between these three ladies.

"Wanying, you're not scared, are you?" Seeing that Xu Wanying didn't speak for a long time and didn't express any thoughts, Cen immediately asked.

"No, this Mu is completely heartless. He caused my younger brother to be replaced and suffered so much. He also caused my mother to be betrayed by two personal maids. He deserves no pity to die!"

"But my little brother hasn't been found yet. Should we keep him and sue the mastermind behind the scenes, and then kill him after we get my little brother back, so as to avoid complications?"

Xu Wanying had a stern face as she carefully analyzed the situation, which sounded very reasonable.

But she was screaming in pain in her heart: [Ahhh, I ate too many melon seeds and I got a sore throat. My tongue is all blistered and it hurts to talk!]

Cen, who was originally thinking of praising her, was instantly choked up when she heard these words.

"Third sister-in-law, people have always praised you for your intelligence and understanding, but I never realized it. Now I finally--"

Li Chunlan had only said half of her flattering words when she stopped, as if she was stuck and couldn't find the next half.

"What is it finally, sister-in-law?" Xu Wanying was obviously looking forward to her next words.

"I finally got to see how powerful my third brother's wife is, hahaha..." She laughed dryly twice, feeling a little guilty about the praise.

Xu Wanying just made a rational analysis, which sounded reasonable. She thought that he was silent because he was deep in thought, but she never expected that he was getting angry from eating melon seeds.

This really doesn't make sense.

Mrs. Cen took a deep breath and quickly dispelled her speechless mood. Her strong heart was trained by her third daughter-in-law.

"No problem. As long as we know where the real Yi Ge'er is, there is no need to be cautious. Only when the inferior wants to murder the superior will it take so much trouble. And when the superior deals with the inferior, it only takes a little trick to crush his whole family."

Cen Ying spoke these words slowly and even her tone was gentle, but when Xu Wanying heard them, she felt a chill all over her body.

At this moment, Mrs. Cen displayed the demeanor of a mistress of a wealthy family in ancient times, cold, wise and superior.

The two sisters-in-law left hand in hand, and only Cen Ying and Nanny Liu, who was kneeling in the middle, were left in the room.

"Considering that you have served me for many years, I will keep you respectable and not bring harm to your family."

When Mrs. Cen glanced at her, tears instantly welled up in Liu Ma's eyes.

In fact, her tears had dried up last night. Regret, pain, and the embarrassment of having her scandal exposed all flooded into her heart.

When she was brought here today and listened to Mu Wencheng talking about those ugly things again, she felt numb and had no emotions at all.

Only when she heard that Cen was going to beat the coward to death, she couldn't help but feel happy about it.

But now, hearing Cen Ying say this again, all the emotions came back to her, and Aunt Liu's tears burst out like a dam.

"Master, Master, it's Lu who is sorry!" Her mouth was swollen and her tongue couldn't be straightened. Her words were unclear, but her eyes were firm.

Finally, she kowtowed to Cen Ying respectfully, then stood up and banged her head hard against the corner of the table.

She used all her strength and a dull sound was heard in the house. Her neck was almost broken and it was obvious that there was no possibility of survival.

Cen Ying's hand trembled slightly, and she picked up the tea on the table and poured it around on the ground.

"Have a nice journey. I won't see you off."

She clapped her hands, and immediately several guards came in and quickly dragged the body away without leaving a trace, as if the killing of someone just now was just an illusion.

***

At the Wei family, Cen Jie was cursing, "You little bastard, where are you hiding? You'd better really die out there. Otherwise, you haven't come back for so long, and I can't even find your shadow. If you come back, I'll break your dog legs!"

Wei Sheng has completely disappeared in the past few days. Cen Jie has sent several groups of people to look for him, but there is still no news.

Although there was no unusual movement in the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty after the Jiang family went back that day, she still felt uneasy and always felt that something had happened.

"Is the master back? Please ask him to come over." She was restless and could only call Wei Xian over.
