Chapter 214 Doting on the concubine and destroying the wife

The appearance of lividity on the body is not a good thing. It seems that the evil Taoist really has some skills. If he hadn't interfered, her brother Mu Yang's body would not have suffered these injuries.

Ning Bao clenched her fist secretly. No matter who hurt the people she cared about, she would not let it go. In any case, Mu Wanning would remember this debt.

Ning Bao didn't want to delay, so she summoned Shen Muyang's spirit to perform the ritual immediately, because Shen Muyang's body was severely damaged, and it took some effort to get his soul into his body.

Fortunately, it was successful in the end. By the time all the operations were completed, Ningbao was covered in sweat and even felt dizzy.

Seeing that Ningbao was not in a good condition, Shen Yuzhen, who was closest to Ningbao, quickly reached out and hugged her.

"Ningbao, how are you? Is anything bothering you?"

Ning Bao, suppressing her dizziness and adjusting her breathing, shook her head at Shen Yuzhen.

"Mom, I'm fine. I just used up a lot of energy. I'll rest for a bit and eat something good to replenish myself."

Li Guizhi gently pinched Ningbao's little face.

"Okay, let's take good care of you. Grandma will go and make you something delicious right away."

Li Guizhi said this and walked out. Ning Bao, having recovered her strength, went to Shen Muyang and carefully examined him before letting out a sigh of relief.

"Aunt Gu, Brother Mu Yang is alright now, but he suffered a lot of damage to both his soul and body this time, and it may take a few days to recover."

"And 'Little Miss, you've been gone for the past few days, you're already at the door, why don't you go to the underworld to sit and rest for a while?' After this, Brother Muyang's health will need to be properly taken care of for the next few years."

"But Aunt Gu, don't worry, my eldest brother is very capable. Once things are settled, I'll write to him and ask him to treat Brother Muyang. With my eldest brother there, Brother Muyang will definitely be alright..."

Ning Bao couldn't help but praise and promote her senior brother again.

Meanwhile, at the Yongyi Marquis's residence in the capital, Marquis Shen Tingshan had just returned from outside when he was warmly greeted by his maid, Wang.

"My lord, you're back. I've prepared the dishes. I'll have a good drink with you tonight."

Marquis Yongyi glanced at Consort Wang, who still looked plump and healthy.

You seem to be in a good mood today, is there something good happening?

"..." Aunt Wang originally wanted to say that the death of Gu Yunrou's son was something to celebrate.

However, she thought for a moment that even if Marquis Yongyi didn't care much about Shen Muyang, Shen Muyang was still Marquis Yongyi's legitimate son. If he knew that Shen Muyang was dead, or that she had someone do Shen Muyang's death, she might lose favor.

Consort Wang's family was very ordinary; the entire Wang family rose to prominence because of her, and she relied entirely on her husband, Marquis Yongyi. Therefore, she could not afford to lose favor; she absolutely could not!

So even though Aunt Wang was very happy inside, she still tried her best to suppress her excitement.

Aunt Wang, having calmed down, changed her expression and diligently helped Marquis Yongyi change his clothes, handing him a cloth.

After changing into his home clothes and washing his hands, Marquis Yongyi followed Aunt Wang to the dining room and sat down. Aunt Wang diligently served him food. Seeing that Marquis Yongyi was in a good mood today, Aunt Wang tentatively said...

"My lord, my sister and the young master have been gone for quite some time. I wonder if they have arrived yet?"

I heard there's a drought in the north and many people have fled. Thankfully, my sister and the others aren't going there, otherwise I'd be so worried. I wonder if they've arrived yet? Any news from the Prince?

"Smack!"

Marquis Yongyi slammed down his chopsticks.

"Why bring them up when we're just eating? It's so unlucky!"

After finishing his speech, Marquis Yongyi stood up and walked towards his study.

When Aunt Wang saw the angry Marquis Yongyi, she appeared to be a little sad, but she was actually very happy inside.

As long as the Marquis doesn't take that mother and son seriously, she will have a chance to help her son become the heir apparent.

Just as Marquis Yongyi settled into his study, a dark figure leaped out from the shadows.

"My lord, news has come from Yunlu City that the lady and the heir have not yet arrived."

Marquis Yongyi frowned.

"They haven't arrived yet? That shouldn't be the case. According to the schedule, they should have arrived long ago..."

"Send people to search. Search thoroughly along the road from Yunlu City to the capital. Find the person no matter what."

Marquis Yongyi sat weakly in the chair. He had originally cared a lot about Gu Yunrou and had loved her very seriously, but for some reason, the rift between them was getting bigger and bigger.

Everyone says that Marquis Yongyi favored his concubine over his wife, and he certainly did.

But his purpose in doing this was simply to make Gu Yunrou give in...
