Chapter 1067 Fainting

The old woman calmed down a lot. When she came, the mistress specifically told her not to cause trouble in Zhoujia Village. Her tone became much better. "Are you willing to let the second young lady marry in the countryside?"

Dong Yiyi said coldly, "I don't want to waste my time talking to you. Mu Lan is my daughter, and only I, as her mother, can decide her dormitory. Go back and tell your master that it's impossible to sell your sister for wealth."

The old woman's face froze. She had to resort to force. The second young lady must be taken away.

Su Xuan had been standing outside the door for a while. Jiang Sheng couldn't follow his sister-in-law, so he could only wait far away with Chang Zhi.

Mu Lan stood behind her brother, tears streaming down her face. If she hadn't seen something wrong and ran out the back door to report it, she might have been caught and put on the carriage by now.

Su Xuan asked lazily, "Where did this crazy woman come from to snatch Mr. Jiang's daughter?"

The old woman turned her head with an unpleasant expression when she heard this, but when she saw the woman's clothes and the scene she was in, she dared not utter a single curse word, "I am here to arrange the engagement of my second sister at the order of my wife."

The maid next to Su Xuan went up and slapped her twice, "You are not polite when you meet the county lord. You are so rude."

The old woman was stunned by the beating, and then she heard the county lord was dazed. Her husband was a fifth-rank official. Thinking of the battle, she trembled as she greeted him, "This old servant has seen the county lord."

No one dared to lie about his status as county magistrate.

Su Xuan sneered, "Your wife must be Miss Jiang, right? No, it should be the heartless Miss Jiang. Her own father doesn't care about her, but now she's using her sister to exchange for benefits. She's really heartless."

The old woman trembled and dared not refute, because it was the truth. The master wanted to be promoted, so the mistress had set her sights on the second young lady.

Su Xuan lowered her head, "This is Zhoujia Village, not everyone can come here and act wildly. As a step-sister, don't you have the power to decide your sister's marriage? Go back and tell your master that Jiang Mulan's marriage is not her business? Get lost."

How dare the old woman act wild? She already remembered who the county lord was. The fourth son of Lord Zhou married the county lord. She never thought that the second young lady could be protected by the Zhou family. "Yes? Yes, old slave, get out, get out immediately."

At Zhou's house, Xue Han and Rong Chuan stayed behind last night, and Zhu Lan and her daughter were walking in the garden. The maid from Ning Hou's mansion ran in in a panic. "The Duke's wife vomited blood and fainted."

Xue Han was extremely anxious. "Why did he faint?"

The maid shook her head. "I don't know. The Marquis asked me to go to the Duke's Mansion to look for you."

Zhulan is worried about her daughter? "Mom will take you there."

Xue Han was thinking about her grandmother. Was the old lady really good to her? Did she treat her like a granddaughter before she got married? And she loved her even more after she got married. "Mom, you don't have to send me off. I can go by myself."

Zhulan said cautiously, "No, I'm worried about you."

Xue Han was anxious and remembered that she was pregnant, so she didn't dare to walk with big steps. "Yeah."

The carriage arrived at the Ningguo Mansion, and Rongchuan's carriage also arrived. When Zhulan saw Rongchuan, she was completely convinced that the Duke's wife had really fainted, and it was not a conspiracy against Xuehan. "Rongchuan, Xuehan is pregnant, you should pay more attention to her. Mother has handed her over to you. If there is any news, please send a message home."

Rong Chuan supported his wife and thanked her for bringing her here. "Mom, don't worry, I will take good care of Xue Han."

Zhulan watched the lady and Rongchuan enter the Duke's Mansion before she let the driver go home. Only then did she wonder why the Duke's wife suddenly fainted.

In Zhoujia Village, Su Xuan and Chang Zhi have already arrived home. Chang Zhi was not able to ask because there were so many people around, but now he asked, "Brother-in-law, are you and your elder sister really going to arrange Mu Lan for Jiang Du?"

Jiang Sheng raised his eyebrows, "I've asked you for help, how can it be false? Your sister and I have already communicated with each other. The two children of the Jiang family are good, and even if they don't settle down, these two children have grown up under my watch. I will help them if I can."

Changzhi stared, "Two children? Close relatives?"

Jiang Sheng smiled, "Yes, I didn't intend to say it, but your sister sent a letter to the Jiang family to convey her intentions. After all the commotion today, it's better to settle the marriage."

Chang Zhi paused for a moment, "I'm not saying Jiang Muchen is bad, I just think my niece is better, and Miu Miu should choose a better husband's family."

Jiang Sheng waved his hands, "I am a man without ability and ambition. Your niece is not suitable for marrying up. The Jiang family is good."

Changzhi wanted to say something, but Suxuan coughed and said to her brother-in-law, "I need to write to my elder sister about today's matter. Since we want to get engaged soon, we need to discuss it with her."

Jiang Sheng was a little anxious to go back and write a letter, "Okay, I'll go back first."

Su Xuan waited until her brother-in-law left before she said, "You are stupid. My eldest sister wrote to me saying that my parents agreed."

Changzhi then realized that his elder sister must have consulted his parents, "My wife is really smart."

Dong family, Dong Yiyi is no longer angry, but feels relieved, "With the help of Zhou family today, there is no need to guess about Mu Lan's marriage, the Jiang family does intend to marry."

Jiang Ming was a bit decadent. He favored his ex-wife's daughter. As a father, he protected the motherless child. As a result, he was really sad. "Yeah."

Dong Yiyi snorted. She didn't care how upset Jiang Ming felt.

In the capital, at the Ningguo Mansion, Xue Han stayed by the bed, carefully wiping her grandmother's face. Her grandmother fainted suddenly, and her grandfather called the doctor out, but she didn't know what was going on.

Song said, "Let me do it. You just sit down and rest for a while."

Xue Han shook her head, "Sister-in-law, I'm not tired."

She felt very upset. She had just been walking in the garden with her grandmother the day before. Her grandmother was in good spirits and even suggested going fishing together next time. She was obviously fine, so how could she suddenly faint?

At this time, there was a crying sound outside the house. Xue Han frowned, then listened carefully and her face turned ugly.

Song and Yu also looked unhappy. Their mother-in-law was crying and shouting as if her grandmother was dying.

Song lowered her head with sarcasm in her eyes. Grandma is still alive. Grandpa and father-in-law will definitely be angry at the crying. They are cursing grandma!

Yu was nervous. After her mother-in-law lost her power as housekeeper, she had been very careful in the Duke's Mansion. She only hoped that her mother-in-law would be an honest man and become the Duke's wife. But it hadn't been long since she did something stupid again. Yu felt disappointed. She might not be able to rely on her mother-in-law anymore.

There were angry curses coming from outside the house, and then the crying stopped. Then there were voices of people shouting for justice, but soon the voices died down.

The Duke's wife frowned and opened her eyes. Xue Han didn't wait to be happy, but saw her grandmother spit out a mouthful of blood. Xue Han was startled and her voice changed. "Rongchuan, Rongchuan, grandma spit out blood."

The door was thrown open and everyone ran in.

The doctor came over quickly, and Xue Han quickly stepped back. Her body was covered in blood, and she stared at the bed, her heart in her throat.

Rong Chuan hurried over to support his daughter-in-law, "It's okay, it's okay, grandma will be fine."
