Bo Jinxiu didn't come back until Mrs. Xu had finished drinking the medicine.

Seeing Shen Yiran inside, the drunk Bo Jinxiu immediately walked in with a smile.

"Hey, my sister-in-law is here, are you here to see me?"

Shen Yiran moved aside to reveal Xu, who was lying on the bed in a daze and talking nonsense.

"Don't come over here, I'm not afraid of ghosts!"

Bo Jinxiu looked at Shen Yiran in confusion: "What's wrong with her?"

"Brother is finally back, my sister-in-law has met a criminal!"

"what?"

Bo Jinxiu burped and rubbed his face with his hands: "How could she encounter criminals at home?"

Shen Yiran sat down and said, "I wonder if my sister-in-law thought that my eldest brother was still on Yaoshan Mountain, so she took Rendong to look for you. As a result, when they were going down the mountain, they encountered a group of criminals, and Rendong was killed. My sister-in-law was rescued by the Marquis."

Bo Jinxiu was a little confused, so he fell down on the stool and thought about it carefully.

Shen Yiran poured a cup of tea and handed it to him, and he grabbed it and drank it.

How could Xu go back to the mountain? Bo Jinxiu had already told her that his brother was getting married today and he would go to the wedding and would be back late in the evening.

So what was Xu doing in Yaoshan?

The more Bo Jinxiu thought about it, the clearer it became in his mind. He realized that Xu must have other intentions when he went up the mountain, and he couldn't let it be public until he had thoroughly investigated the matter.

"My eldest brother is back. I will go and tell the old lady that the doctor has just come to see the child and he is fine."

Bo Jinxiu immediately stood up and said, "It's so late, let's talk about it tomorrow."

Shen Yiran had no intention of saying it today, so he pretended to be hesitant and said, "But my sister-in-law is like this, if I don't report it, the old lady will blame me."

"It's okay, I'll go talk to him myself tomorrow. You should go back and rest after working so hard, sister-in-law!"

Shen Yiran turned around and sneered, then returned to Wuyayuan.

Bai Zhi had already coaxed the two children to sleep and was waiting for Shen Yiran in the room. When she saw Shen Yiran coming back, she immediately walked over.

"The Marquis came back to the mansion just now. He knew that you were with the eldest lady, so he ordered me to find some clothes."

"Just looking for clothes?"

Bai Zhi shook her head: "There are also shoes. The Marquis personally looked at them before leaving, and also told me not to tell you."

Shen Yiran knew what Bo Jinnian wanted to find out, but he would never be able to find it.

"It's okay, just say you didn't tell me, let's take a rest."

Seeing that Shen Yiran didn't react, Bai Zhi was confused but didn't take it to heart.

However, when serving Shen Yiran, he found that the straps of Shen Yiran's underwear were not fastened properly.

She was the one who helped him get dressed in the early morning, and she tied the laces herself. Now several laces were not tied. Did Shen Yiran take off his clothes before?

Shen Yiran saw Bai Zhi staring at his clothes, lowered his head and found a clue, and said lightly: "I got wet when I went out. I took off my clothes once, but I had no change of clothes so I had to make do with it."

Bai Zhi nodded, with some confusion between her brows.

"Okay, go to sleep."

Shen Yiran was indeed tired. What happened today was truly tragic.

The next day, Bai Zhi went out with the wash basin. On the way to the laundry room, she was stopped by Bo Jinnian who came out from behind a tree.

"I'm asking you if there was anything wrong with my wife's clothes yesterday. Even if it's just a small detail, tell me everything you think of or see."

Bai Zhi thought about it for a long time last night, and connected Bo Jinnian's search for clothes with Shen Yiran's taking off of clothes. When she heard Bo Jinnian's question, she immediately gave the answer she had prepared: "No? What's wrong?"

"fine······"

Bo Jinnian paid attention to Bai Zhi's expression and did not notice that Bai Zhi looked panicked, so he turned and left.

Bai Zhi did not stop holding the wash basin, but continued washing clothes, chatting and laughing with the other maids who were washing clothes at the same time.

She was worried that Shen Yiran had angered Bo Jinnian, so she was extra careful.

The results of Bo Jinnian's investigation were exactly the same as what Shen Yiran said, but he knew in his heart that this was not the case, and he also knew that Shen Yiran knew what was going on.

Bo Jinxiu did not sleep all night. He tortured the servants in Jianjia Pavilion all night and finally got the truth out of a servant.

"Are you saying that she hired someone to kill Shen Yiran, and even took the criminals to ambush on Yaoshan Mountain?"

"Yes, sir, it is absolutely true. I was waiting in the carriage downstairs until the Marquis showed up on the mountain. I followed him and only then did I know that my lady was in danger!"

Bo Jinxiu waved his hand and said to the servant: "If you want to live, pack up your things and leave tonight. I will give you your indenture contract. Don't come back!"

The servant was terrified at this moment. He took his indenture and ran away without even packing his belongings.

Bo Jinnian was busy investigating Shen Yiran, and then turned to investigate Xu. However, he did not expect that Bo Jinxiu destroyed all possible evidence overnight.

This made Bo Jinnian turn his attention to the Xu family and reduced his suspicion of Shen Yiran.

Xu is now stupid and dazed. She will be a little more sober after taking the medicine, but her memory is already confused. It is probably impossible to get the truth from her.

The old lady got the news and was shocked. She rushed to see Xu. Xu had just taken the medicine and was speaking coherently. The old lady was not too worried.

Bo Jinxiu sighed beside him: "The old lady told her not to go out. This is her own fault!"

Bo Jinxiu's intention was to first give a hint to the old lady that if Xu's condition did not improve and she gave birth to a child, he would divorce her.

The old lady didn't have these thoughts, but she felt guilty: "How can I explain this to Xu's parents?"

"Have you invited the best doctor? Or let's ask the imperial physician to take a look!"

"Qiu Ju, go tell the Marquis to ask him to invite the best doctor in the Imperial Medical Bureau, Doctor Zhao, to come and treat the patient!"

Qiuju nodded and went out, then came back and asked: "Why is it that Rendong, who always serves the Madam, is nowhere to be seen?"

"Oh, Honeysuckle, this child saw the lady in danger and ran away."

As Bo Jinxiu spoke, two pretty maids who had just been promoted came forward and saluted.

"This Dianxiang and Mo Ran were sent by my second brother and his wife to take care of Xu."

The old lady listened, but without further ado, she nodded and said, "You must take good care of the lady and the children, and not allow any mistakes to happen!"

Dianxiang and Mo Ran immediately bowed and nodded and agreed to leave.

Qiu Ju looked at the two maids carefully, then turned around and went out to call the imperial physician.

Dianxiang and Mo Ran are maids that Rong Qingqing brought all the way from Jiangnan. Bo Jinjue is very concerned about his reputation and would rather pay more money to choose young women with outstanding looks as maids.

When Dianxiang and Mo Ran were leaving Yangzhou, Rong Qingqing wanted to save money so she let them go. Only the two of them refused to leave, as they were still thinking about the possibility of moving up.

Rong Qingqing had already noticed this.
