"Cough cough." The eldest son of the Marquis's mansion coughed at the opportune moment. His face was still pale.
"Young master, it's time to take your medicine," a servant said to the eldest son of the Marquis's mansion.
"Yes, bring it over." The eldest son of the Marquis's mansion looked haggard.
Upon seeing this, the female protagonist quickly walked over to take the bowl away.
"Let me do it," the female protagonist said gently, her voice filled with concern.
"No need to trouble you, Madam. We have servants to help," the eldest son of the Marquis's mansion said with a weak smile to the lady of the house.
"I am currently ill and have some ailments that I fear may infect you, my wife. You should go back home; there's no need for you to stay here."
The eldest son of the Marquis's mansion then spoke, his voice tinged with weakness.
"No need, I'll stay here and serve you," the female lead insisted, a hint of worry in her voice.
Meanwhile, the eldest son of the Marquis's mansion frowned slightly when he saw the female lead insist on not leaving, but then quickly relaxed.
He gave a look to the person underground.
Then, as the female protagonist reached out, the servant accidentally spilled the medicine on her.
"Ah!" The female protagonist screamed in alarm when the medicine was splashed on her clothes. Her face showed a hint of panic.
"Madam, please go back and freshen up quickly," the eldest son of the Marquis's mansion said hastily after seeing the lady of the house splashed with soup. His face showed concern, and his voice was filled with worry.
The female lead looked at the medicine splashed on her body, her face turned ugly for a moment, but then she recovered.
He addressed the eldest son of the Marquis's mansion.
"Alright, I'll head back now," the female protagonist said to the eldest son of the Marquis's mansion, a hint of apology on her face.
"Well, Madam, you should go back now," the eldest son of the Marquis's mansion said to the female lead, a slight smile on his face.
Then, the female lead left, her face turning extremely pale the moment she turned away.
Meanwhile, the eldest son of the Marquis's mansion on the other side had a deep and unfathomable look in his eyes.
After returning to her courtyard, the female protagonist began to think about the eldest son of the Marquis's mansion.
He was thinking about how to get rid of him.
After all, she knew that the eldest son of the Marquis's mansion was not in such a weak state as he was now.
at night,
The second young master of the Marquis's mansion came to the female lead's room once again.
This time, however, he was preoccupied with the idea of eliminating the eldest son of the Marquis's mansion.
Therefore, when the second young master of the Marquis's mansion tried to take advantage of the female lead, she stopped him in time.
"Don't move, I have something to tell you," the female lead said, grasping the hand of the second young master of the Marquis's mansion. Her face was serious, and her voice was exceptionally earnest.
"What are you saying? We can talk about it later, there's no rush." The second young master of the Marquis's mansion said anxiously after hearing the female lead's words.
His face showed a hint of displeasure, and his voice carried an even stronger sense of dissatisfaction.
"What I'm about to say is very important. Listen to me first," the female protagonist said immediately, her face showing a hint of gloom.
"Alright, go ahead and say it. I want to see if you can't say anything important."
Seeing the heroine's unwavering opposition, the second young master of the Marquis's mansion spoke seriously, his voice revealing a hint of earnestness.
"What do you think of the eldest son of the Marquis's mansion?" the female lead asked, staring into the eyes of the second son of the Marquis's mansion, her face serious.
"What else can we say? He's just a sickly man who only holds the title of the eldest son of the Marquis's family."
“Once he dies, the Marquis’s mansion will be mine. Besides, he has no right to compete with me.”
The second young master of the Marquis's mansion said with a smug look on his face. His voice was tinged with pride, and his face was beaming with a smile.
When the female lead saw the second young master of the Marquis's mansion in such a state, a look of disappointment flashed in her eyes.
With such carelessness, no wonder he tripped up in his previous life.
In the end, the position of Marquis also fell into the hands of the eldest son of the Marquis's family.
If she hadn't lost her virginity to him, she really wouldn't want to be on the same boat as him.
"Then you're mistaken."
"The eldest son of the Marquis's mansion is not as simple as he seems," the female protagonist continued. Her face was serious, and her voice was even more earnest.
"How could I be wrong? This is not simple, it's impossible!"
Upon hearing the female lead's words, the second young master of the Marquis's mansion showed a hint of surprise on his face, but quickly retorted. His voice was firm.
"The eldest son of the Marquis's mansion is not sick at all!" the female lead said, staring at the second son of the Marquis's mansion. Her face was cold, and her voice was serious.
"How could that be? I've known him since he was a child that he's been sick."
"Moreover, the royal physician has already concluded that my elder brother's life is not long," the second young master of the Marquis's mansion said with disbelief. His voice was full of incredulity.
"Your elder brother is faking illness! He's been secretly plotting to bring you and Mother down!" the female lead continued, her face serious.
"Pretending to be sick?" The second young master of the Marquis's mansion widened his eyes slightly upon hearing this, his voice tinged with disbelief. Then, his expression turned somewhat grim.
"How did you know that my elder brother was faking illness?" The second young master of the Marquis's mansion asked, his eyes fixed on the female lead. His face was serious, and his voice carried a hint of sternness.
"Don't worry about how I know. Just know that I'm your woman now, so naturally I'm on your side," the female lead continued, her face serious.
"If you don't believe me, you can try it and see if what I said is true or not," the female protagonist then said.
"Alright, I'll test the waters." The second young master of the Marquis's mansion stared at the female lead for a while before saying this, but his face was now tinged with coldness.
He was clearly influenced by the female lead's words.
At this moment, the second young master of the Marquis's mansion lost interest after hearing what the female lead said.
