Li Yaxuan ordered Nanny Li and her confidants to deal with it quickly and strengthen the protection of Lan Xinyuan. Nanny Li helped Li Yaxuan towards the side room while reassuring that the traitor would be found soon.

"No matter what the reason is, we must not continue like this. This Zhou Jiaqing is really good. She can stuff people into my room in broad daylight. She is declaring war on me! It's really hateful! Now she dares to challenge me. If she does this again If I go on, will I, Yun'er, still have a chance to succeed?" Li Yaxuan's eyes flashed with a dangerous glint.

Seeing the look of resentment on the second lady's face, Nanny Li knew the next plan. She was shocked and reminded: "Madam, you need to be careful. Now is not the time. The second lady is not the second lady before, and the Marquis is not the same." In the mansion."

Li Yaxuan sneered and pointed in the direction of Tao Ranyuan, "Of course I know that this matter needs to be discussed in the long term, but now there is an opportunity to expose her true face. Otherwise, she has been pretending to be stupid for so many years."

In the evening, everyone in the Hou Mansion was talking about how the second lady, who was so good, threw away the bed.

"If you don't throw it away, do you have any thoughts? Whenever you have insomnia, just think about Dr. Zhang who died on this bed." Qiu Ju thought that the second lady and Dr. Zhang actually planted beauty flowers on the young lady, and she felt resentful in her heart, so she endured it. He kept teasing.

"Keep your voice down. Although Tao Ranyuan has no spy now, there's no guarantee. It's always better to be careful." Xia He, always cautious, reminded.

Qin Xingyue, who returned to the Hou Mansion after school, naturally found out about Tao Ranyuan's killing of his subordinates with a stick, and his face darkened.

He was dealing with people around him one after another. Is Zhou Jiaqing going against her?

They kept sending people to keep an eye on the activities in the woodshed. They secretly followed Nanny Zhao and Qiu Ju that day, and when they saw the mulberry pickers, they were tortured into that horrible state.

Did Zhou Jiaqing discover his identity? Impossible, she is just a spoiled young lady. Even if she becomes smarter one day, she will not know these things!

Qin Xingyue thought about it and wondered what happened to Zhou Jiaqing recently, so she thought to herself that it would be better not to take any action recently.

In the evening, an imperial edict suddenly came from the Hou Mansion.

Pingnanhou, who was stationed outside the border, suddenly fell seriously ill and needed to rest and recuperate. He could not work hard. His son was still young and could not take on important tasks for his father, so he could only put his affairs on hold for the time being. The emperor was grateful for his hard work and merit, and granted Jing'an permission. Hou went to take over the relevant matters. After Pingnanhou recovered, he could return to Da'an.

The imperial edict came in a hurry, without any warning, and everything in the palace had not yet been arranged. Marquis Jing'an accepted the edict with a wry smile. He just couldn't worry about his daughter. While he was still in the palace, these servants acted so boldly.

However, Zhou Jiaqing came to Qingzhu Residence first, with an aggrieved look on his face: "Dad, you don't have to worry about Qing'er. Qing'er will choose some servants that he likes in the past two days. Alas, Qing'er has been looking around and can't find the right one. Having people around can protect Qing'er."

Hearing this, Marquis Jing'an looked a little strange. He pondered for a moment, and suddenly smiled with emotion: "The two guards you left from me a few days ago are not ordinary guards. Dad gave them to you, and they will protect you secretly. , Dad can still feel relieved."

"Okay, thank you dad, Qing'er wishes you a smooth and safe trip and a speedy return home." Zhou Jiaqing immediately beamed.

This daughter is still so naughty, even though she is here to beg for help, she doesn't say anything, so the father and daughter's banter made Marquis Jing'an feel lighter.

The only remaining bit of Zhou Jiaqing's true temperament was in front of Marquis Jing'an.

After all, before leaving, Marquis Jingan specially called the two guards to his side and lectured: "From now on, your master is Qing'er, and everything is based on her orders. Unless Qing'er gives instructions, even I can't." I am not free to ask you about her current situation."

"Yes."

He truly loves his daughter, respects her in everything, and warns them that they only have one master.

The second lady told them to throw Dr. Zhang's body on the second lady's bed. Now she couldn't even tell her.

"With the abilities of the two of you, it will not be a problem to protect Qing'er. In the future, with you by her side, she will not be in a situation like today again. Do you understand what I mean?"

In other words, with them here, Zhou Jiaqing cannot have any accidents, otherwise, it would not be an exaggeration to die to apologize.

"My subordinate understands."

In the early morning of the next day, just after a quarter of Mao hour, Marquis Jing'an had already set off.

"Madam, the teaching gentlemen have just entered the house, and the old slave has arranged for them to rest."

"Mommy, take my words and go to the husband, and you can tell me..."

Nanny Li sneered in her heart and said that this time she would be able to expose the second lady's flaws.

According to the practice in previous years, there are still twenty days before the exam. Most mansions will ask Mr. Xi to tutor the children in order to get a good ranking. Of course, the Marquis Mansion is no exception.

So, when paying her respects at Ronghua Residence, the old lady said as expected: "From today on, after school, you will all come to Wenhua Pavilion to study with Mr.

At this point, his eyes stayed on Zhou Jiaqing, and his expression became solemn, "Second girl, you are in good health. Don't go back and forth to the academy during this period. After greeting you, go directly to Wenhua Pavilion to study. I was young and ignorant before. That's all, I look much calmer now, but I can't make the gentlemen angry anymore, otherwise, even if your father is here, grandma won't let you go easily, do you understand?"

He knew that Li Yaxuan would not give up. Zhou Jiaqing sneered in his heart, but said with a decent smile on his face: "Qing'er understands, and I will live up to my grandmother's expectations."

"Mother, Doctor Zhang had an emergency at home yesterday. He left suddenly without time to report. When the servants were cleaning the guest room, they found a letter left by Doctor Zhang, and then they knew the cause and effect." Li Yaxuan said softly and took out a letter. The letter was handed to the old lady.

The old lady took a cursory glance and saw that a doctor suddenly left because of something unexpected. It was not surprising, so she didn't pursue it further.

Li Yaxuan said that the newly hired doctor would come to Ronghuaju soon to check on the old lady.

After a few casual words, the doctor came over and the others withdrew.

"Miss, it's really interesting to leave Doctor Zhang to the Second Madam. The body has been disposed of and the reason has been found. We don't have to worry about anything." Qiu Ju, who was living outside Ronghua, lowered her voice and couldn't help but sigh.

Zhou Jiaqing smiled and said nothing.

"By the way, the Third Miss and the Fourth Miss have taken care of things just like last year. Even the cousin sent people to send things there. The Fifth Miss doesn't have many valuable things and never takes care of them, but we really don't need them. Please take care of the gentlemen, I am worried that they will embarrass the young lady."

"Need not."
