Ever since the day when Zhu Xianzhi's left shoulder bone was broken by Ningyuan Marquis, Lin Luoling ordered Biyou and Bizhi to monitor every move of Yongning Marquis's mansion every night.

After knowing that Marquis Yongning was colluding with Fengying, the courtesan of Tianxiang Tower, and that Rong Shuhua and Liu Bo were having an affair.

In the past few days, Biyou and Bizhi had found out about the Yongning Marquis Mansion, but nothing major had happened.

It was simply that Zhu Xianzhi was in pain every day due to a fractured left shoulder bone and had a high fever. The court doctor prescribed a prescription, and after drinking it for three days, the high fever still did not subside.

Zhu Xianzhi pointed at the beams in a hoarse voice and angrily cursed Ningyuan Hou. He also said that his uncle had pushed him out to protect himself, completely disregarding blood ties and other such words.

Zhu Jingzhong learned that Zhu Xianzhi's left shoulder bone was injured and he had a high fever, so he did not step into Chunlan Courtyard.

Lan Wanshuang asked Nanny Meng to go to Zhou Jiaoling's Lanxiang Pavilion to invite her twice.

Zhu Jingzhong just said: "I am not a doctor. Can I take a look at him and reduce his fever? Can I heal his fractured bones? What's the point of taking a look?"

After saying that, Zhu Jingzhong held his seven-year-old daughter Zhu Qingyao with Zhou Jiaoling and drove Nanny Meng out of Lanxiang Pavilion.

Seeing that she couldn't invite Zhu Jingzhong, Lan Wanshuang had to give up.

Hearing Zhu Xianzhi's cries of pain every day made him extremely annoyed. He scolded Zhu Xianzhi twice and then ignored him.

Rong Shuhua endured the pain from her unhealed injuries and served Zhu Xianzhi, not daring to be negligent in the slightest, for fear that Zhu Xianzhi, who was already angry, would beat her up again. She pretended to be virtuous and caring to the fullest.

Zhu Xianzhi held Rong Shuhua's hand and promised: "When I gain the wealth of the Lin family and inherit the title of Marquis of Yongning, I will definitely marry you."

Hearing this, Rong Shuhua's brows brightened with joy, and she began to serve Zhu Xianzhi carefully.

Prince An was assassinated, and the Governor of Xuzhou in Jing, Cao Peng, was severely scolded by His Majesty. He also received the Queen Mother's decree asking him to find out who wanted to assassinate Princess July. Under the strict investigation, the palace doctor was unable to go out to buy medicine for Zhu Xianzhi.

Lan Wanshuang no longer had the money to buy medicine for Zhu Xianzhi, but she couldn't just sit there and watch Zhu Xianzhi suffer from a high fever.

There was no other way, so Lan Wanshuang had to throw away her face and ask for help from Marquis Yongning.

After discussing it, Marquis Yongning and his wife went to Chunlan Courtyard to visit Zhu Xianzhi.

Yongning Hou explained helplessly, "If I hadn't pushed you out that day in the Lin Mansion, it would have been difficult to appease Ningyuan Hou's anger. Even if Lin Tingxu and He Jinchun sat back and watched, Lin Luoling had already married you, so how could she not come out to plead for you?

It is better for them to plead for mercy than for us to admit our mistakes verbally. Even though you were punished to kneel at the gate of the Lin Mansion for two hours, you saved your life at least, didn't you?

Otherwise, with Ningyuan Hou's temper, he would really kill you with a knife. Not to mention that Cao Peng, the governor of Jingxuzhou, would not care, even if His Majesty knew about it, he would just turn a blind eye."

After a few more words, Lan Wanshuang was thinking about asking Yongning Hou to buy medicine for Zhu Xianzhi. In front of Ningyuan Hou and his wife, she said very impolitely:

"Xianzhi, your uncle is thinking about you wholeheartedly. You must listen to him in everything from now on. Do you understand?"

Zhu Xianzhi's high fever had not subsided and his head felt heavy. He did not hear what Yongning Hou and Lan Wanshuang said at all. He just felt the sound of their voices making his head buzz. He responded randomly, and then his eyelids felt heavy and he closed his eyes.

Marquis Yongning didn't want to make things awkward because Zhu Xianzhi was still useful, so he said he would go to Rende Hall personally to get medicine for Zhu Xianzhi.

Lan Wanshuang thanked him repeatedly.

When Marquis Yongning and his wife left Chunlan Courtyard, Lan Wanshuang's face suddenly changed. She knelt in her small Buddhist temple and prayed that Marquis Yongning and his wife would die soon and be reincarnated.

In less than an hour, the court physician obtained the medicine, took the medicine jar, and personally boiled the medicine for Zhu Xianzhi in Chunlan Courtyard.

Until Lan Wanyun met He Jinchun today, and heard He Jinchun say that in a few days a batch of goods would be escorted to a jewelry shop in Beijing and would be handed over to Wantong Escort Agency for escort.

Lan Wanyun was secretly delighted and trotted all the way back to Wantong Escort Agency, taking her husband on a journey of thousands of miles, and said with great joy that the matter was settled.

Wantong Escort Agency is now headed by Wanlixing. When he heard what Lan Wanyun said, his eyes shone brighter than the sun, and he immediately went to find a craftsman who could melt gold and silver.

He found a few craftsmen, and originally planned to pay a deposit, and then have the craftsmen melt down the goods in his private residence after they had taken possession of Lin's goods.

Who would have thought that all the craftsmen would say: We might not be free on those days, and they would refuse to take the deposit.

Wan Lixing went back and discussed with Lan Wanyun. He collected the silver and money in the house and invited two gold and silver melters to the private residence.

Even if the gold and silver melters did not work, they would still be paid on a daily basis, and the money they were paid was only enough to last for three days.

Lan Wanyun went to the Yongning Marquis' Mansion that night and borrowed money from the small Buddhist temple with Lan Wanshuang.

Biyu heard it clearly on the roof.

Lan Wanshuang lowered her eyebrows and said, "Xianzhi's fever won't go away. I don't even have money to buy medicine for Xianzhi, so how can I give you money?"

After another four or five sentences, Lan Wanyun still didn't get a penny from Lan Wanshuang, and snorted, "You, the legal wife, are living worse than that rotten concubine.

Zhu Jingzhong is the same. He doesn't love his own son, but treats the money-losing girl born by that dirty man as a treasure. What can I say about you? If it were me, I would have beaten that bitch to death and thrown her into a mass grave while Zhu Jingzhong was away."

After saying that, Lan Wanyun returned to Wantong Escort Agency.

Lan Wanshuang sat in a chair against the wall of the small Buddhist temple, took a sip of tea, and smiled to herself: "What's the point of pampering her? What's the point of being treasured? She must be able to give birth to a boy.

Zhou Jiaoling can forget about giving birth to a son in this lifetime, only my son can inherit the title of Marquis of Yongning."

Biyou reported everything she saw and heard to Lin Luoling in her boudoir.

Suddenly she raised her eyes and said, "Miss, your mother-in-law looks kind, but when she said this, she laughed very strangely. Her laughter was so cold and frightening that it made the hair on my body stand up."

In her previous life, Lin Luoling had heard Zhou Jiaoling's maid gossip about this. She said that before Zhou Jiaoling gave birth to Zhu Qingyao, she was pregnant with another child. When she was more than four months pregnant, she accidentally fell on a slippery snowy road and miscarried.

After three or four years, she still couldn't get pregnant.

Zhu Jingzhong felt sorry for Zhou Jiaoling and often cried because of the pain of losing her son, so he stayed in Zhou Jiaoling's room every day to comfort her.

Another year passed and Zhou Jiaoling still failed to conceive. Seeing that Zhou Jiaoling was depressed and had lost a lot of weight, Zhu Jingzhong took Zhou Jiaoling to the farm and stayed there for more than three months.

On the back mountain of the small village, the villagers built a small thatched house with a statue of Bodhisattva inside.

Zhou Jiaoling's maid clasped her hands together, chanted "Amitabha", and said:

"It was really a miracle from the Bodhisattva. My aunt got pregnant after a month."

He also said that Zhu Qingyao must be the daughter given by the Bodhisattva, and her fate was not like that of an ordinary mortal. She would be successful in the future and marry into a noble family.

At that time, Lin Luoling did not think much about it. She just felt that what Zhou Jiaoling's personal maid said was too weird, so she just listened to the gossip.

Now Lin Luoling was tapping the table, thinking carefully about Lan Wanshuang's words, and suddenly his eyes paused.

I just feel that what Zhou Jiaoling's personal maid said is true, but Zhou Jiaoling was pregnant with Zhu Qingyao at that time, it had nothing to do with worshiping the Bodhisattva, but Lan Wanshuang did not want Zhou Jiaoling to get pregnant and give birth to a child.

So, the miscarriage of Zhou Jiaoling's first child due to a fall in the snow was not an accident, but Lan Wanshuang's doing?

Zhu Jingzhong stayed in Zhou Jiaoling's room every day, but Zhou Jiaoling was unable to get pregnant. Why did Zhou Jiaoling get pregnant after they stayed at the manor for a while?
