After rebirth, my elder sister wants to steal my husband!

So scared!

Why is the aura of their Marquis’s wife so strong?

At this moment, several maids felt like crying but had no tears.

One of the brave maids answered bravely: "Madam, we are talking about Aunt Zhang..."

"What's wrong with Aunt Zhang?" There was a hint of coldness in Lu Zhiran's voice, which made the maid shiver involuntarily.

"Aunt Zhang, she's pregnant..." the maid stuttered, afraid of angering Lu Zhiran.

Lu Zhiran had heard about Zhang Xiangxiu's pregnancy a long time ago, but she didn't expect these maids and old women to talk about it so unscrupulously.

She glanced coldly at the maids and said, "Mrs. Zhang's pregnancy is a great joy for the Marquis' Mansion. How can you discuss it here? If it gets out, won't people laugh at our Marquis' Mansion for having no rules?"

The maids and old women were speechless after hearing what Lu Zhiran said. They all lowered their heads and dared not say another word.

Lu Zhiran added: "If I hear you talking about the master behind his back again, I will never let you off easily!"

After saying that, she turned and left, leaving the maids and old women looking at each other, secretly glad that Lu Zhiran did not punish them.

Lu Zhiran didn't notice after she left.

A maid hiding in the rockery quietly left and went to Zhang Xiangxiu's yard.

"Aunt, I'm back." The maid walked into the house and bowed respectfully.

Zhang Xiangxiu raised her head and stared at her sharply, "How was Lu Zhiran's reaction after hearing that I was pregnant?"

The maid nodded and answered carefully: "Aunt, I saw with my own eyes that Lu Zhiran had learned about your pregnancy from the maid, but after hearing it, Lu Zhiran didn't have any special expression on his face."

Zhang Xiangxiu frowned when she heard this.

She originally thought that Lu Zhiran would show panic or anger, but she didn't expect him to be so calm.

This made her start to doubt whether there was something wrong with her plan.

"This woman is really scheming." Zhang Xiangxiu murmured to herself, "It seems that my previous thoughts were too simple."

"Aunt, I don't think the Madam has any intention of doing anything to you. Has our plan failed?" the maid said worriedly.

Zhang Xiangxiu sneered, "What do you know? She is very scheming. How can a person who can marry into this mansion relying on her own ability be a simple person?"

"Will a bad guy write the words 'I am a bad guy' on his face? Lu Zhiran doesn't look much different. He must be secretly planning how to get rid of the baby in my belly."

As long as she takes the bait and attacks me, she's dead.

As Zhang Xiangxiu spoke, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes.

In the courtyard, the sun shines through the treetops onto the ground, creating mottled shadows. The breeze blows gently, bringing a hint of coolness.

After Lu Zhiran returned to his room, he was also full of doubts.

If Zhang Xiangxiu wants to give birth to this child, she should be extremely careful.

How come the news of her pregnancy spread throughout the mansion?

What on earth does she want to do.

Lu Zhiran would not think that Zhang Xiangxiu was the loudspeaker who spoke without restraint. There must be some conspiracy behind this.

It was even a conspiracy specifically targeting her.

Lu Zhi sat down and drank a sip of tea. He didn't care about anything else. If an enemy comes, we will fight him with our soldiers; if a flood comes, we will block it with earth.

Nothing to worry about.

……

The beggars' den in the southern alley is narrow and dark, and the air is filled with the smell of dampness and decay.

The mottled moss on the wall seems to tell the vicissitudes of time.

Ke'er has been hiding here for many days. She disguises herself every day and transforms herself into a trembling old lady, strolling in the alley, looking for the injured man that Lu Zhiran mentioned.

Just when she thought Lu Zhiran was deceiving her and there was no injured man at all.

On this day, the sunlight shone obliquely into the alley, bringing a touch of warmth to this dark corner.

Ke'er walked slowly with a cane and a hunched back, her eyes wandering around the alley, trying to find clues among the dirty and ragged beggars.

At this moment, her eyes were attracted by the scene in front of her. A ragged beggar was lying on a man lying on the ground, calling out: "Wake up... wake up... are you okay?"

Ke'er's heart suddenly tightened, she quickened her pace, and walked over tremblingly. She saw the man, with a handsome face and fair skin, who looked like a noble young man.

At this moment, there was blood on the corner of his mouth, and he was seriously injured. His clothes were tattered, but they were obviously made of high-quality material.

This man is not an ordinary person at all.

The exposed skin was covered with knife and sword wounds, obviously caused by a fight.

The beggar looked up and saw Ke'er, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes: "Grandma, can you help us call a doctor? He is injured and bleeding a lot."

Ke Er nodded, feeling ecstatic, and tried to make her voice sound steady: "Don't worry, I'll call the doctor right away."

After saying that, Ke'er first bent down and searched the man's body.

Sure enough, she found a token with the word "Ye" engraved on it from his waist. It was indeed him. Lu Zhiran did not lie to her. This was her way out.

When the little beggar saw what Lu Nianyao did, he immediately snatched the token from her hand.

"what are you doing?"

"You want to steal someone's things."

She was so happy that she almost forgot that there was a guy who wanted to steal her favor.

Ke'er started to make up stories.

"I didn't mean to steal anything. This is my brother. We separated when we were young. Just now I saw that his face looked familiar. I remembered the tokens our parents gave us when we were young. I looked and it turned out to be him."

Ke'er said it sincerely.

The little beggar was full of doubts.

"Brother...you..."

Ke Er quickly took out her slender wrist and said, "I just disguised myself to get by here."

Xiao Yier believed it completely.

She returned the token to Ke'er.

"Okay, I'll just trust you."

"Go find a doctor now. If no one treats his wound, he will bleed to death."

"I'll carry him inside first."

Ke'er nodded, turned around and walked away quickly, but her heart was in turmoil. She finally found the injured man, which proved that Lu Zhiran did not deceive her.

But who is this man? Why was he injured? What secrets are hidden behind all this?

Ke'er called a doctor from a small pharmacy at the corner of the alley.

The doctor carried the medicine box and followed Ke'er to the beggars' den. He carefully examined the man's injuries, then frowned and said, "He is seriously injured and needs to be taken care of. How could you little beggars get into such trouble?"

The little beggar lowered his head and choked up, "We didn't know either. He suddenly fell in front of me and I didn't know what to do."

The doctor sighed and began to treat the man's wound.
