Chapter 329 What to Test

It is true that there have been no children born in the Marquis' Mansion in the past four years. Lu Lingyun initially thought that Cheng Yunshuo himself had difficulty in having children, but now it seems that someone has prevented him from having children.

Who on earth has such a grudge against Cheng Yunshuo that prevents him from having children?

This shouldn't happen!

Although Cheng Yunshuo was a simple-minded person, he had never had any bad intentions and he didn't have any great enemies outside. Even if he had a dispute with someone, it would be difficult for outsiders to retaliate against him in this way.

Because there is no benefit in this.

Cheng Yunshuo already has five children, so it doesn’t matter whether he has more in the future.

So in other words...is it a good thing for some people that Cheng Yunshuo will never have children again?

A figure suddenly flashed through Lu Lingyun's mind.

She frowned and said to Shuanghong, "Call Aunt Li over to me."

"Yes, Madam."

After a while, Li Bixi, looking tired, came back to Lu Lingyun.

She has to patrol the nights these days. Although she is the one leading the night patrols, she only needs to lead the team around and assign some tasks to everyone, but the mansion is so big that it will take a lot of time to walk around.

During this period, each courtyard has to be checked, and the gatehouse and warehouse have to carefully check the door locks and windows. The workload is really not small.

Within a few days, Li Bixi had become haggard and exhausted.

She is already over 30 years old, and her facial appearance has been affected by staying up late.

When Lu Lingyun saw her suddenly, she felt that she had aged several years.

"Auntie Li has been working hard recently."

"This is what I should do." Li Bijie responded obediently.

Lu Lingyun drank hot tea, "I understand how hard Aunt Li works for the Marquis' Mansion. Aunt Li is really hard-working. If I ask you to do this night patrol again, I'm afraid you will hurt yourself."

Li Bixi couldn't figure out what Lu Lingyun wanted to say for a while, and even felt that Lu Lingyun was trying to taunt her again and asked her to take care of other positions.

This night patrol is just a little tiring. There are a lot of things in the mansion that are more disgusting than night patrol.

For example, sweeping the yard, or even dealing with tuberose...

She knelt on the ground with a thud, "Madam, it is my duty to patrol the Marquis's mansion at night. Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission. I am sorry to disappoint you again."

Lu Lingyun smiled and said, "Aunt Li, what are you doing? I really feel sorry for your health."

"It's not hard for me. I can do this night patrol well!"

"If you can do it well, just keep doing it," Lu Lingyun looked at her, "I called you here just to chat, get up quickly."

Li Bixi was even more unsure of Lu Lingyun's thoughts at this moment. She stood up carefully and sat on the chair at Lu Lingyun's request.

"Madam Li, you have done a great service by giving birth to two children for the Marquis's mansion."

"Young Madam, this is nothing." Li Bijie answered very carefully.

Lu Lingyun smiled, "Speaking of which, Aunt Li, you have the best health I have ever seen. Look at our family, only Aunt Qiu has a child, and the late Aunt Xing gave birth to twins, which can be considered a single child. Aunt Ling and Aunt Du outside have never been pregnant."

When Li Bixiang heard this, she stomped and was about to kneel down again.

"Don't kneel!" Lu Lingyun stopped her, "Aunt Li, I told you I was just chatting with you about family matters. I am very satisfied with you."

She personally helped Li Bixi up.

Li Bixi felt the warmth of Lu Lingyun's hand, and her heart became even heavier and more nervous.

What does Lu Lingyun mean?

What does she want to do?

Meeting Lu Lingyun's gaze, Li Bixi said nervously, "Young Madam, I may have taken after my mother. My mother gave birth to seven children, so she may be in a better condition to give birth."

"That's what I think." Lu Lingyun smiled. "You are the only one in the whole mansion who gives birth to a child every year. First you had Lanying, and then Bingzhi. With such a healthy body, I was thinking that you could give birth to more children for the mansion!"

"I dare not!" Li Bixi was about to kneel down again.

Lu Lingyun tightly grasped Li Bixi's hand and said, "Auntie Li, what are you doing? I just want you to be healthy and favored by the prince, so that you can have more children for the Marquis's mansion."

Li Bixi's eyes flashed with panic, but she quickly returned to her usual humble and flattering attitude and said, "Young Madam, it is enough for me to have two children, Lanying and Bingzhi. I dare not expect anything else."

She performed very well, but Lu Lingyun still caught the fleeting panic at the beginning.

She looked into Li Bixi's eyes for a long time, then let go of her hand. "Forget it, Aunt Li, you should go back first."

After being pardoned, Li Bixi quickly bowed and left, "Thank you, Madam."

She left Lu Lingyun in a hurry, as if she could be called to eat if she was a step later.

Lu Lingjun looked at her back and called Nanny Wan in.

"Madam Wan, can you spare some time these days to go to Bishui Garden and privately find the maids in their courtyard and interrogate them about what they usually feed the prince?"

"yes."

Since Cheng Yunshuo was poisoned by a long-term poison, it must be some toxin that needs to be consumed frequently to accumulate.

As for Cheng Yunshuo's poisoning, Lu Lingyun guessed that it was Li Bixiang who did it.

Firstly, the poison that Cheng Yunshuo was infected with affected his fertility, making him unable to have children anymore. This poison is completely useless to outsiders, but it has a great impact on the concubines in his backyard.

It is most likely the work of women.

Secondly, Cheng Yunshuo was poisoned exactly after Cheng Bingzhi was born. For four years, Cheng Yunshuo had no more children.

Finally, here is the reaction in Li Bixi's eyes just now.

Lu Lingyun was 90% sure that it was Li Bixiang who did it.

And the reason why she did this was simple.

Li Bixi gave birth to a son and a daughter. She already had enough offspring and did not need any more children.

If Cheng Yunshuo has children with other women, it will have an impact on her children.

Especially for her, the mistress of the house. All the children in the house are born out of wedlock. Once she has a legitimate child, all the illegitimate children will not be able to compete with him.

Li Bixiang wants to pave the way for her child, and the first thing she does is to prevent Cheng Yunshuo from having children again!

Here, Li Bixi left Lu Lingyun's yard, and her mind was spinning wildly along the way.

What did Lu Lingyun mean by what he just said?

What is she trying to find?

Is she planning to take over Lanying and Bingzhi?

Or did she notice something...

Li Bixi's mind was racing. After returning to her own Bishui Garden, she locked herself up in thought and even forgot about the night patrol.

When Cheng Yunshuo came back that night and saw her there, he asked curiously, "You didn't go on night patrol tonight?"

When Li Bixi heard Cheng Yunshuo's voice, her chaotic mind cleared up. She looked at him and said in a sweet voice, "Master!"
