Who would raise a villain as a wife?

Chapter 75 The Young Marquis and the Hostage of the Enemy Country 4

"I have been poisoned."

This sentence made Wu Anhou's face suddenly change. He stood up and walked to He Yunjing with big strides. He held his shoulder and asked, "Poisoned? When did it happen? Who did it!"

He Yunjing pulled down his hand and helped him sit back down. He poured more tea and then slowly spoke, "Father, don't you think there was anything strange about what I did before?"

How could it not be strange? He became furious when mentioning the Marquis of Wu'an, and glared at He Yunjing fiercely. His son was really disappointing.

He Yunjing also knew that the original body's actions were problematic, but he felt that it was not that simple. On the way back, he carefully read the plot about the original body.

He said, "My father was stationed at the border for ten years, and my mother followed him there with him because of the deep love between him and his wife. I grew up with my second uncle, and he was always strict with me, and I listened to him. But father, why did I grow up like this?"

Wu Anhou was stunned by the question, "Aren't you the one who is so stubborn and unlearned?"

"Young children don't have much self-control. My second uncle treats me harshly, but he doesn't always supervise me. He also has his own duties to perform." He Yunjing raised his eyes and looked at Marquis Wu'an. "Unlike me, the legitimate son, my second brother is very talented and gentle. He is more like a young marquis than me. If I die, my mother will have only me as her only son. Who will be the heir to the Marquisate in the future?"

Wu Anhou's expression changed drastically, his brows furrowed, "Is it your aunt who spoiled you like this?"

He Yunjing nodded, confirming Marquis Wu'an's guess. After he and his wife returned to Beijing, He Yunjing was indeed very close to his aunt, even closer than his biological mother.

In the past, he had wanted to correct He Yunjing's temper, but his wife owed He Yunjing too much, and every time He Yunjing made a fuss, he would compromise. He felt guilty, so he did not force it. He only hoped that He Yunjing could inherit the Marquis' Mansion one day and have the protection of the prince.

But now it seems that someone has been eyeing the position of Marquis Wu'an, and has been eyeing it since early morning.

Wu Anhou drummed his fingers on the table, unable to understand. "But your aunt is your mother's maidservant who came with her as a dowry. She is the most loyal to your mother. How could this happen?"

"Father, power can fuel ambition. In the past, when she couldn't get it, she just wanted peace. Now that she has the power of the mistress, how can she be willing to give it up? Besides, she has her own son. Whether to be the son of the Marquisate or the Marquis of Wu'an in the future, this choice is too simple."

Upon hearing this, Marquis Wu'an sighed, feeling resentful in his heart that he had neglected such an important matter and almost harmed his own son.

"What about you now?"

"It's fine for now. I told my cousin that staying out of the spotlight is the best option."

Marquis Wu'an nodded in agreement. He Yunjing's past behavior was indeed inappropriate, so it would be better for him to stay out of the spotlight.

"But why did you bring back the Sixth Prince?"

He Yunjing explained, "He and I have already made an enemy. He may not die in Wu State, nor can he die in Wu State. When he returns to Lin State, if he is lucky enough to get the throne, he will definitely not let me go, nor will he let the Marquis' Mansion go.

Besides, my aunt and my second brother must have had some tricks up their sleeves when they attacked me. Maybe there was someone behind them. The Marquis's family is fighting against my cousin, but what about them? If someone attacks the Sixth Prince in my name, given the past grudges between him and me, there will be some involvement in the future.

Besides, how many people were behind my attack on the Sixth Prince? Father, have you ever thought that someone was using me to offend the Marquisate and cut off the arms of the Queen Aunt and the Crown Prince Cousin? "

Wu Anhou understood everything after He Yunjing said this. He looked at He Yunjing in surprise, "How can you think of so much?"

"I thought a lot while I was sick, and naturally I figured it out." He Yunjing took a sip of tea, "If he doesn't die in the palace, he will be skinned alive. By then, it will be the fault of my mansion. It will only be troublesome if we investigate it in the future. Bring him back, as long as we ensure that he does not contact the spies of Lin Kingdom, we can take good care of him and try to repair the relationship. At least we will not regard him as an enemy."

"That's fine, I'll have someone keep a close eye on him."

"Just stay outside the courtyard. This time I'm confining him, but it's also a disguised way of confining him. There's no need to show off. If necessary, just give him more freedom."

After the father and son finished talking, they went back. He Yunjing went to the side hall before entering his room to rest. He remembered that Jiang Li had a high fever after falling into the water and had not received medical treatment, so he developed a cough, which was also a lung disease. He had to go and see him.

There should be someone guarding outside the door, but because the people in the house are not valued and no one cares, no one knows where they are hiding.

He Yunjing frowned when he heard the cough coming from the room. He quickly pushed the door open and saw an unconscious person lying on the bed in the dark.

He Yunjing walked to the bed and touched it. His forehead was burning hot. He coughed once or twice from time to time, but there was no sign of waking up.

He Yunjing was a little angry and picked up the candlestick on the table and threw it away.

The bang startled the servants who hurried in and asked, "What do you want, young marquis?"

"Go and get a doctor, and get a basin of cold water."

As soon as He Yunjing finished giving his orders in a cold voice, Xiao Si responded, "Young Marquis, why bother about whether he lives or dies? He can't be burned to death."

He Yunjing was already angry, and he became even angrier after hearing what the servant said.

He stood up and walked over, raised his foot and kicked the boy in the chest, sending the man flying with the noise that was so loud it scared anyone to death.

The other servants' hearts skipped a beat and they all knelt down to beg for mercy, asking him to calm down.

He Yunjing took two steps forward and stepped on the boy's chest, saying in a cold tone, "I am the master, don't you understand me? Why don't you go get a doctor!"

The other servants dared not delay any longer and hurried out to invite him.

He Yunjing then kicked the person away and returned to the bed. After the candle was lit, it shone on Jiang Li's face, making it burn red. It was probably because he started to have a fever after he left. The servants didn't care and let him have a fever and cough.

Fortunately he came to see it, otherwise it would have burned all night and no one would have known.

Cold water was brought soon, and He Yunjing wrung out a handkerchief to wash Jiang Li to cool her down, while waiting for the doctor to come.

The commotion caused a huge disturbance, and Marquis Wu'an and his wife and the only concubine in the mansion also came, all waiting for the doctor to take their pulse.

After a while, the doctor spoke up, "This young man has caught a cold and has a fever. Just take two doses of medicine and take good care of yourself."

He Yunjing nodded, and the servant sent the doctor away to boil medicine. Marquis Wu'an stepped forward again to inquire about the situation.

He Yunjing changed the scarf on Jiang Li's forehead before he stood up, aiming his gun directly at Aunt Huo, "Aunt, do you have any opinions about me? Why is it that no one listens to what I say? Why do you still want to teach me how to do things?"

Aunt Huo didn't expect He Yunjing to say that. She smiled awkwardly and said, "How can you say that, Yunjing? Zhe An has been with you since he was a child and respects you the most. How could he not listen to you?"

"It's true that she followed me, but I didn't give her the money this month. Auntie is in charge of the household affairs of the Marquis' Mansion, and she doesn't care about the disobedient servants. A few days ago, I couldn't even get anyone to come when I wanted to drink a glass of water at night. Today, she asked someone to take good care of her before she left, and no one came back to keep watch.

Ask him to ask a doctor to tell him that burning a person won't kill him. What? Auntie really wants the Sixth Prince to die here?"
