Passerby's Guide to Eating Watermelons

Chapter 212 Ancient World 29: Poisoning

When the news of what happened in the backyard reached them, everyone was shocked.

Deng Zijin couldn't believe that a sister would actually put musk in the spices used by her younger sister just to prevent her from getting pregnant.

Zuo Heling didn't expect that since Prince An's daughter couldn't get pregnant, it would still be a problem who would inherit the Wenchang Marquis' Mansion in the future.

Even if you adopt a child, it is not as precious as your own son. Maybe you can make some careful plans!

Since the matter has been decided, it is naturally not appropriate for them to continue disturbing her here. After all, they came here to prevent her from getting involved in these matters. Now that the dust has settled, it is time for them to leave.

In fact, Wenchangbo and the old lady were indeed dissatisfied with Zuo Heling's behavior, but they had no way to blame him.

After all, when Zuo Heling got married, Ma Nanfeng had already recognized her and was not close to her.

The most important thing is that the old lady values ​​Ma Nanfeng more than her own eyes, and never lets her get close to her, for fear that she will teach him bad things.

It is said that being a stepmother is difficult, let alone a stepmother whose biological father and grandmother are both alive. Zuo Heling simply stopped contacting Ma Nanfeng.

Apart from a few words of praise during the holidays, the rest is just doing your own thing.

Because Ma Nanfeng was raised by the old lady, Zuo Heling would greet her outside before leaving.

Although Wenchang Bo's attitude softened over time, Zuo Heling remained unmoved.

Even if I was asked to fulfill my filial duties, I would only say that I should take care of my son's studies first and urge the children to study hard.

Therefore, Zuo Heling was never bullied by the old woman, mainly because they were not together at all.

The family lives in peace and harmony.

Now that such a big thing has happened in Ma Nanfeng's yard, it is understandable that Zuo Heling hid herself immediately. After all, she has always done so.

Seeing the attitudes of the two people, Zuo Heling did not feel guilty at all, but said very kindly, "Mother, husband, then you two can talk first, I will go back first!"

After driving the others out, the old lady sighed, "Although Prince An's boat is good, we don't necessarily have to get on it. Maybe this is a good thing now!"

Wenchangbo could only shake his head helplessly, "Originally, it was just one way out. Now this may be God's will!"

"By the way, have you checked out the spice issue? Is it really someone from Prince An's Mansion?"

Wenchang Bo nodded. "We've already sent people to investigate this matter many times! There's absolutely no problem with the storage path of the spices! As for Hongying, they recently asked Ma Nanfeng for it, saying they wanted to take advantage of the nobility of Prince An's Mansion!"

"In that case, our family is also innocent. We haven't had any children for so many years, and we won't be able to have any in the future. So we have to choose a good one for Feng'er."

"Mom, you can do whatever you want!"

"And your daughter-in-law..."

The old lady stopped talking halfway.

After all, when Zuo Heling stayed away from Ma Nanfeng, she was the one who applauded him.

Now that her stepson is so old, it’s really not good to let her interfere in the affairs of the room.

So I can only let myself do it.

"I have a few good girls around me. I'll take a look at them and send them over together!"

Although the incident at the Wenchang Marquis' Mansion caused a big stir, it was only an internal matter after all, so people outside did not know about it.

Not to mention that this was originally a scandal and it was not convenient for outsiders to know.

The most important thing is that Prince An is involved in this scandal. If everyone who dares to make a fuss knows about it, they will have no chance of living.

So, except for the people from Wenchang Marquis’ Mansion and the Zuo family, outsiders were just watching the fun.

After all, Duan Xiangjun, who has always been jealous, actually took the initiative to pick several beautiful concubines for her husband.

He even asked the old lady to send some over, and the originally quiet Wenchang Marquis' Mansion suddenly became lively.

But there is nothing we can do about it.

Duan Xiangjun really hated Hongying, so naturally she had no idea about her eldest son.

Since I can't get pregnant, I'll find someone who can get pregnant and then adopt one. Then my son will still be the head of the family!

Although Hongying's previous idea failed, the current situation makes it a good place to go.

At least with her eldest son in hand, her future life will not be bad.

Although everyone wanted to know what had happened in the Wenchang Marquis' Mansion, they had no information at all. Just when everyone was about to check, they heard another piece of news from the Wenchang Marquis' Mansion.

Ma Nanxiao's marriage is settled, and her husband is the legitimate daughter of the Shangshu Mansion!

As soon as this news came out, all speculations about the Wenchang Marquis' Mansion immediately disappeared.

Perhaps Duan Xiangjun simply felt a little pressured. After all, her second brother was also a legitimate son, and the wife he married came from a good family. If they gave birth to a son first, it would be disadvantageous to the eldest house.

That's why he was in such a hurry to take a concubine.

Although this reason is not perfect, it has finally shut up some people.

The wedding of Ma Nanxiao and Chen Xiwen was a very lively one. The couple was a perfect match, both talented and beautiful.

But after they had been enjoying their loving life for a while, Zuo Zhizhi heard that Chen Xiwen had fallen ill.

When Deng Zijin heard the news, he hurried over with Zuo Zhizhi, only to find Chen Xiwen lying sick in bed, completely devoid of his former liveliness and alertness.

Zuo Zhizhi used her mental power to investigate and found out that she had been poisoned.

"Have you called a doctor? What's going on?"

Zuo Heling nodded, and was about to say something but shook his head helplessly.

Deng Zijin understood everything when he saw this. He immediately said angrily, "You should be setting an example for the children now. If you fall, what will happen to them?"

"But! Sister-in-law, they are..."

"You have to hold on no matter what they do! Besides, the child is already grown up. At worst, he can just go live outside. You can't live here and end up getting yourself killed!"

"Sister-in-law, I..."

Zuo Heling originally had her own plans, but now she doesn’t care about anything and just hopes that her family can be safe.

"Xiwen is such a good girl, and she's suffered so much just a few days after getting married! How am I supposed to explain this to the people in the Shangshu Mansion?"

The two of them were talking a little loudly, and Chen Xiwen on the bed woke up. Upon hearing this, she immediately shook her head and said, "Mom, I know you're good to me! I don't blame you for this! We're a family, and we'll handle this together!"

Zuo Heling burst into tears, "Okay, as long as our family is fine!"

Deng Zijin felt relieved when he saw that she had made up her mind.

Some people are cruel and ruthless, and they can't compete with them at all. Besides, if they make a fuss, they will definitely fail, so the best way is to stay away from them.

After Ma Nanxiao came back, the mother and son talked about something, and the family had a good discussion. Although there were tears in their eyes, they were also full of hope for the future.
