The mistress was reborn and broke off the engagement, the regent cried and begged to marry into the

The snakes were caught in batches.

During that period, the soldiers caught snakes during the day and dreamed about snakes at night.

Doctor Zhang hid in a pile of snakes, hoping to find the source of the plague so he could think of a cure.

Reinforcements from the capital soon arrived, and the imperial doctors worked together to study.

God helps those who work hard. After half a month, there was some progress. After a month, a trial drug was found that could alleviate the epidemic.

If we continue to work in this direction, I believe we will be able to come up with the right prescription soon.

The people finally smiled when they heard the good news. When the emperor in the capital received the news, he breathed a sigh of relief.

During this period, people in the capital were not idle either.

Marquis Yong'an stayed indoors to reflect on his mistakes for several days.

Shangguanfu.

Huan Shuang walked into the house quickly: "Girl, Ting Yu sent someone to deliver the letter."

"Let me see it." Shangguan Haitong took the letter, opened it, and fell into deep thought after reading the contents.

Seeing the contents of the letter, Huan Shuang was surprised: "The wife of the Marquis's Mansion has handed over the housekeeping power to Miss Liu and Miss Qi. Good news."

Shangguan Haitong thought thoughtfully: "The letter said that Li Sirong might be pregnant..."

"She has been married for nearly two months, so it's not surprising that she is pregnant, right?" Huanshuang didn't understand why her master cared about this.

What a coincidence.

Shangguan Haitong was walking slowly, Li Shanqi was reflecting on his mistakes behind closed doors, and Li Sirong was pregnant.

Liu Xinyin specifically mentioned this in the letter, so I'm afraid it's already been planned. The Yong'an Marquis's Mansion just lost a son, and now there's another wave of turmoil.

Liu Xinyin and she were allies in their previous life.

In this life, she sent Huanshuang to contact Tingyu early on to pass on some information.

Liu Xinyin dared to kill her husband in her previous life, and she will not show mercy in this life. Maybe she will also kill someone else...

Huan Shuang folded the letter and said, "Girl, how should we respond?"

Yong'an Marquis Mansion...

plum……

Shangguan Haitong thought of two people: "The fourth and fifth sons of the Li family should return to Beijing to report their work and remind her to be careful."

Huanshuang nodded and immediately wrote the letter and sent it.

The fourth child of the Li family is Li Yuannan, and the fifth child is Li Yuanbei. They are brothers from the same mother, two years apart in age.

They look similar and have great chemistry.

The two brothers were the best at disguise, and she had spent a lot of effort to get rid of them in her previous life.

Yong'an Houfu.

Tingyu came in from the back door, looked around and then returned to the yard.

Liu Xinyin embroidered expressionlessly, and she didn't even raise her head when she heard footsteps: "I'm back."

"Madam." Tingyu took out the letter hidden in her sleeve and whispered, "They told us to take action as soon as possible."

Liu Xinyin took the letter and quickly scanned it. It really had to be solved as soon as possible before the fourth and fifth brothers came back.

Tingyu brought a candle and Liu Xinyin burned the letter.

Watching the letter turn into ash bit by bit, she threw away the embroidery frame and asked, "Have you arranged the incense?"

"Okay." Tingyu replied. With the power of housekeeper, many things are very convenient to do.

Liu Xinyin snorted coldly: "Li Zongyun, I want to let you taste the feeling of being deserted by everyone. Action."

Tingyu nodded and went downstairs to prepare.

At this time, the little maid outside came in and reported: "Madam, the two concubines came to pay their respects."

Greetings?

Normally, he would refuse to meet me because he had a child by his side. Why did he come now?

Liu Xinyin adjusted her mentality, took back the embroidery frame and smiled faintly: "Let them in."

The little maid stepped back.

After a while, two beautiful women came into the room with their children.

One man and one woman, one for each of them. The two concubines bowed and sat down without waiting for the lady to speak.

Liu Xinyin was used to it: "My two sisters, is there anything important that you are here for?"

The two concubines' surnames are Zheng and Chen respectively.

Aunt Zheng was older and had a daughter. She smiled and said, "Sister Chen is pregnant, and we came here to announce the good news."

Aunt Chen's son is already three years old.

She smiled shyly: "Now the Madam is in charge of things in the mansion, so the Master asked me to come and announce the good news."

Liu Xinyin said in surprise: "That's great. My sister's health is important, just let me know if you need anything."

Aunt Zheng took out her handkerchief and covered her lips: "Sister is so lucky, one baby after another. I haven't had any babies for several years since I gave birth to a daughter."

As she spoke, she deliberately glanced at the lady. So what if she was the legal wife? She had no children.

Aunt Chen didn't say anything.

The wife is still the wife, and now she is in charge of the household. It is better not to offend her.

Liu Xinyin put down the embroidery frame, walked behind Aunt Zheng and held her shoulders: "Sister is right. Grandpa took me back to have more children. What should I do if you have no movement? Otherwise, I will quietly find a doctor to check you out?"

Aunt Zheng heard the hidden meaning in the words and was furious. But the lady looked sincere and didn't seem to have any bad intentions.

Tingyu brought some cakes and greeted the two children: "Young master, young lady. These cakes are fresh out of the oven and smell so good."

The little girl was only four years old and wanted to try the cakes when she saw them.

Aunt Zheng grabbed her daughter's arm and pinched it hard: "You greedy thing, don't I usually give you food?"

It was very painful and the little girl started crying immediately.

Liu Xinyin frowned slightly: "She is still a child, there is no need to be so strict."

"If you don't pay enough attention to him when he is young, what will happen when he grows up? Why are you crying? Let's go." Aunt Zheng stood up angrily and pulled her daughter away.

Aunt Chen didn't want to stay for long, so she found an excuse to leave.

After the people left, Tingyu said unhappily, "How can a mother be like this? She dares to hit me in front of the lady, and I don't know how she beats and scolds me behind her back. I heard from the servants that Madam Zheng hopes to have a son, and she doesn't like the little girl at all."

Liu Xinyin sat down with regret: "Some people want to give birth but can't, and some people don't cherish the life they have."

With a roll of his eyes, Tingyu suggested: "Madam, why don't we talk to the master and take the little girl over to take care of her."

It would be a lie to say that I wasn't moved, but after all, it was someone else's child. Liu Xinyin remained silent. No matter how bad she was, she was still her biological mother.

Mother and child are connected by heart, so they probably don't want to leave.

She said: "Mrs. Chen is pregnant, so please pay more attention to her food, clothing and daily necessities."

"Oh." Tingyu knew there was no hope and left in disappointment.

Shangguan Mansion. Luowan Courtyard.

Zhu Zhijun came to pay her respects and said, "I can deliver a message for you and your brother."

Shangguan Haitong looked at the person in front of her who was neither humble nor arrogant. It seemed that the brother and sister had communicated with each other.

She stood up and walked over, holding Zhu Zhijun's hand and said with a smile: "Look how nervous you are. I'm not a cannibal. The situation in the capital is complicated and unpredictable. Although your brother is not far away, it is inconvenient for him to get the news. The position of the commander may not be stable if you sit on it."

Naturally, she understood this truth. Zhu Zhijun and her brother exchanged letters and learned about their difficulties.

Being promoted to commander-in-chief may seem like a glorious achievement, but in reality he became the target of public criticism.

There were so many eyes watching, and if she made a mistake, her life would be in danger. She couldn't let her brother bear the responsibility alone, she had to do her part.

Shangguan Haitong said softly, "The previous commander-in-chief is someone whose job it is to eat without working. I asked your brother to investigate the other day, but I don't know how the investigation went. If you don't find out the situation quickly, be careful that those people will put the blame on him."

Eating a salary without working? Zhu Zhijun was shocked: "I will go back and send a letter to my brother immediately."

Shangguan Haitong warned: "The sooner the better. Something big will happen in the capital soon, and I'm worried that he will be exposed by someone else."
