Then his brow furrowed again.

Let's count the days.

If his and Wanwan's child is still alive, he would be about three and a half years old.

The ages don't match.

Unable to shake off the strange emotions surging within him, he had no choice but to go to his study that very night to review memorials.

Later, he simply stayed overnight in the study in the front yard, working day and night.

Su Wanwan never contacted him.

I just heard that she's feeling a little better and is no longer lying in bed crying.

Instead, he was busy making some handicrafts.

Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

News of the dismissal of Liu Wen, the General Commander of Guangdong and Guangxi, also reached the capital.

At the same time, it was also revealed that Mao Rui, the Earl of Fuqiang, who had been stationed in Guangdong and Guangxi for more than ten years, was transferred back to Guangdong and Guangxi as the commander-in-chief of the Grand Canal.

The news caused an uproar.

As for the robbery of one million taels of official silver, not a single word of it has come out.

The low-key funeral held by the Marquis of Chongshan's family further agitated certain people with ulterior motives.

All the male members were killed...it was almost equivalent to their homes being ransacked and their heads being beheaded.

The most restless of all was Marquis Shouning, Zhang Heling.

These days, Empress Dowager Zhang in the palace has cut off all contact with the Zhang family.

The thought of the Chongshan Earl's Mansion's attempt to form a marriage alliance with the Zhang family sent a chill down Zhang Heling's spine.

That's too ruthless.

This isn't the first time the Emperor has acted unpredictably.

Last time, they massacred the entire Xia family.

This time it's the Chongshan Earl's residence.

As for whether the Emperor was behind the fire at the Su family's residence, they had no idea.

The Zhang family quickly backed down and revealed Maggie's whereabouts.

In reality, Ma Ji was hiding in a secluded annex outside the palace but inside the imperial city, with only one maidservant by her side.

Lu Xingjian saw Su Wanwan again one evening.

Su Wanwan returned from outside, and he was about to leave when the two bumped into each other at the gate.
