Chapter 1064 Secret Medicine, Poison

Dong Yiyi's face became even more rigid. Her husband was disappointed because her stepdaughter didn't care about her biological father, so he never asked about it. She didn't mention it even though she got angry after reading the letter. Now she could only say, "She said that Mu Lan is not young anymore, and she wanted to find a good marriage for Mu Lan. I don't agree. Even if Mu Lan marries into Zhoujia Village, I won't let her help find one."

Jiang Ming slammed the table, "She has bad intentions."

If he had good intentions, he wouldn't have ignored his biological father. I don't know what his intention is in proposing marriage now.

Dong Yiyi was relieved to see that her husband was on the same page as her. "Many members of the Zhou clan have returned, and there are also promising young people. A few scholars would be nice too. I think it would be nice to join the Zhou clan."

Although she still missed Jiang Du, now that her son and Jiang Miao were together, she dared not have any extravagant hopes. Fortunately, there were some good young men around her.

Jiang Ming, "Wait a minute, Mu Lan is still young."

Dong Yiyi didn't want to get engaged right away, as her son's marriage had not yet been decided.

At the Zhou family in Beijing, Yao Xin came with the child. Zhu Lan had never seen Zhang Jinghong's son before. But in this weather, "Why did you come with the child? Aren't you afraid of catching a cold?"

It’s too early to take the baby out in this weather.

Yao Xin put the child down and said, "I should have come earlier, but the weather has been bad today. Now that the rain has stopped, I will take the child and come to thank you in person. Thank you for saving my life and my child's life."

Zhu Lan motioned to Mrs. Song to help Yao Xin up. "If saving your son is considered a life-saving favor, why did I save you too?"

Yao Xin followed Mrs. Song to get up and sat down carefully. "You saved my son. My son is my life, so we have two lives."

Zhulan smiled and said, "It's not as exaggerated as you said."

Yao Xin wiped her eyes with a handkerchief and said, "It's not an exaggeration at all."

If she lets this child be born, she may not be sure about the next one. The child is their life? If something really happens to the child? She will not be able to see Zhang Jinghong.

Zhulan cried out, "Okay, okay, stop crying, it's up to you."

Yao Xin then smiled, "The child has grown well these days? He changes every day. Come and take a look."

Zhulan always had the greatest kindness towards the child. She touched the chubby little hand and said, "It really is growing well. Look at it. It really looks like Mr. Zhang."

Yao Xin's heart softened as she looked at her son. Compared to her son's fatness, she had lost a lot of weight. The Yao family had been in trouble one after another. She had always been scheming. Although she couldn't see through it, she knew the signs that the Yao family was going to be finished. Even if she was adopted, she would still have the surname Yao. She had not been eating well these days.

Finally, he couldn't bear it any longer and went to Zhou's residence as soon as the weather cleared. He came to express his gratitude, but more importantly, he wanted to seek peace of mind.

Yao Xin sat for a while and then left. Xue Han waited for Yao Xin to leave before looking at the opened box. She did not approach. She was very careful about everything now. "She is really generous. I didn't expect she has so many good things. She really trusts you and Dad."

Zhulan looked at the antiques and calligraphy and paintings, "The reason why they live so frugally is for safety. These things should have been taken away by Zhang Jinghong when he left. If it weren't for saving the child this time, Yao Xin wouldn't have given such a big gift."

Since Xue Han married into the Marquis's Mansion, she has seen so many good things and her vision has been broadened. She has to admit that today's gift is indeed a great gift. "It's thoughtful. It's worth your and Dad's protection over the past few years."

Mrs. Song had already checked these gifts and confirmed that they were all fine. She motioned Mrs. Song to put them away and said, "Keep these things. When your niece gets married, you can add one or two more to the bottom of the box."

Xue Han knew that her mother liked calligraphy and painting, "Mom, don't you keep any calligraphy and painting?"

Zhu Lan shook her head, "I can just buy some paintings from the art gallery. These paintings are just for looking at. There is no need to collect them all. You can't take them with you when you die. Giving them to your nieces will also make their future in-laws look up to them."

Xue Han didn't like to hear her mother talking about life and death, "Mom, you still have to see my child become your own child!"

Zhulan said cheerfully, "Mother naturally hopes to live longer, but life span is not something you can just say how long you will live."

Xue Han felt depressed. Her mother was old, her father was old too, and she had become a mother in the blink of an eye. She lay carefully on her mother's lap, "Mom, don't say that."

Zhulan's legs felt a little uncomfortable. The lady had a lot of head ornaments. "You don't have to bring so many head ornaments when you go back to your parents' house. It's so tiring."

Xue Han didn't like to wear it either. She was very refreshing in the Marquis' Mansion. "I am carrying the reputation of Ning Marquis' Mansion."

Zhulan stopped talking. It was not easy to be the daughter-in-law of a wealthy family. To be honest, as long as a family had some dignity and background, they would not do anything shameless, because the mistake of one person would affect the entire family.

In the Liang Palace, the Liang prince looked at the portrait of the Ning elder son and asked, "How could there be someone who looks so similar?"

Princess Liang looked at it carefully and started gossiping, "Many people said Rongchuan was the reincarnation of Master Ning."

After seeing the portrait, the knot in Prince Liang's heart gradually disappeared. He knew very well who saved his father's life. If his father had died then, there would be no present. It made sense that his father would miss him more as he got old, so he signaled to put the painting away.

Princess Liang asked, "Your Highness, have the descendants of the Rong family found any information?"

King Liang shook his head, "I have checked with the elders of the previous dynasty, and they don't know much. When the Rong family was destroyed, many traces were completely erased. It's difficult, too difficult."

Princess Liang thought for a moment and said, "I wonder what the King of Qi and the King of Chu found out?"

Prince Liang's face turned bad again, damn it.

At Prince Qi's mansion, Prince Qi listened to the report, "Has anyone from Yaohou's mansion left the mansion these days except for shopping?"

"Yes, there are only people who buy food. The people we sent to follow us are all buying rice and grain. Lord Yao seems to be ill all the time."

Prince Qi and others went down. Unlike the fourth brother who investigated everywhere, he set his sights on Yao Hou Mansion from the beginning. However, after so long, there was no news from Yao Hou Mansion at all.

At the Yaohou Mansion, Yao Wenqi's eye sockets were a little sunken, and his temper was very bad. He stared at the doctor gloomily, "This marquis has been having nightmares all the time. Haven't you figured out the reason yet?"

Poisoning, yes, he thought of poisoning. With this idea in mind, he sent people to search the residence inside and outside several times, but there was no gain.

The doctor wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, "As soon as possible, we will find the cause as soon as possible."

The Emperor learned about the situation in Yaohou Mansion an hour later. Yao Wenqi's residence was in turmoil again. If it wasn't difficult to place spies in Yaohou Mansion, he would have wanted to continue. However, he couldn't force the man to death all at once, so he said to Eunuch Liu, "Stop it."

Eunuch Liu took the order and went out, "Yes."

The prince came over and said, "Father, it would be better to get rid of all the secret medicines from the previous dynasty."

The emperor has already collected a lot of money, and the variety of it makes him feel chilled. Most of them are colorless and tasteless. If someone really falls into the trap, it will be difficult to detect it for a while.

The emperor nodded and said, "I'll leave it to you. Make sure to search the palace thoroughly."

The prince was also afraid. He valued his life more than his father did. "Yes."
