Second marriage to the regent

Chapter 28
"Mom, Aunt Li came to look for you yesterday. When she saw that you were not there, she walked around in your yard and left."

During the meal, Jun'er told her that Li Wanwan came to see Su Junxi.

This surprised Su Junxi. Why did Li Wanwan like to go to her yard so much? Could it be that he was attracted to her yard?
Judging from how much Tang Zhili dotes on her now, as long as she opens her mouth, what else can Tang Zhili not satisfy her with?
But what she did in a circle made Su Junxi feel a little uneasy.

She was right to worry. Two days later, bad news suddenly came from Zhuyuan. Tang Zhili, who was out, heard the news and hurried back.

As the mistress, Su Junxi was of course also invited.

I saw Li Wanwan sweating profusely, holding her stomach and turning over and over on the bed with a painful look on her face. The maid beside her was even more anxious and crying loudly.

Su Junxi only felt that it was very noisy and difficult to leave.

"Wanwan, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me!" Tang Zhili squatted beside the bed as soon as he came in, took Li Wanwan's hand and asked gently.

After all, Su Junxi was used to seeing this kind of scene, and her heart was not disturbed at all.

Li Wanwan endured the pain and opened his eyes, breathing weakly: "Master Hou, for some reason, my body has been feeling a little uncomfortable since yesterday, and today it hurts so much that I can't get out of bed."

Seeing Li Wanwan's miserable appearance, Tang Zhili anxiously urged from the side: "Where's the doctor! Why aren't you here yet?"

The doctor staggered in. Before he put down the medicine box, Tang Zhili pushed him to him: "Look what's going on!"

Faced with Tang Zhili's rude behavior, the humble doctor did not dare to say a word and had to silently lower his head and check his pulse.

"It's strange. This woman's pulse is normal. How come she has abdominal pain?"

When the servant who was kneeling on the ground crying burst into tears heard this, he suddenly raised his head and said, "I heard that there is a kind of witchcraft in the Western Regions. You can make a little man out of straw, and you can cast a spell by writing your birth date. I think it was intentional." People want to harm my aunt!"

After hearing this, the doctor was so frightened that he backed away: "This matter can't be solved in a small way, please ask someone to do it!"

"Witchcraft?" Tang Zhili was suspicious. Li Wanwan had been fine since arriving at the Hou Mansion. Why did he suddenly start to fall ill after Su Junxi came back?

Was it Su Junxi's doing, or was Li Wanwan doing it on purpose?
After misunderstanding Su Junxi several times before, Tang Zhili did not dare to make a conclusion easily this time.

"Check it for me! Even if the Hou Mansion is turned upside down, we still have to find the stolen goods!" Tang Zhili roared.

Su Junxi suddenly remembered what Jun'er said. Li Wanwan was wandering around his yard, was he looking for a suitable place to store stolen goods?

Are you going to be tricked just after you come back?
However, the maids and waiters searched the Hou Mansion but could not find any stolen goods. The maid next to Li Wanwan did not believe it and said loudly: "Impossible! There must be stolen goods! Otherwise, how could Aunt Li fall ill even though she was fine? It must be Someone is framed!"

While she was talking, her eyes fell on Su Junxi, and Tang Zhili asked, "Have you checked the mistress's yard?"

He felt that she was hateful because of love.

"Back to the Marquis, my mistress's yard was also checked, and no stolen goods were found."

Li Wanwan was stunned after hearing this. She clearly saw her maid placing the little doll in Su Junxi's yard. It was still very conspicuous. How could she not find it?
"Maybe it's just a false alarm. I'll just send someone to the palace to ask for an imperial doctor later." Tang Zhili didn't want to make the matter a big deal.

Yan'er suddenly said, "Why don't you check this Zhuyuan?"

Everyone was shocked.

Could anyone be stupid enough to hide the tools of a crime under the victim's nose?
Yan'er continued: "Even the mistress's yard can be checked, but an aunt's yard can't be checked?"

Tang Zhili had already offended Duke Anguo too much, but he could not make any more mistakes, so he ordered: "Search!"

Following the order, the maids began to search around Li Wanwan's room, but found nothing.

"Since there's nothing wrong, let's all..." Tang Zhili wanted everyone to leave, but before he finished speaking, a book fell from the bookshelf and scattered, and a small doll fell out of it, and the atmosphere instantly solidified.

In order to win the sympathy of the Marquis, the aunt Qing actually resorted to such ruthless tricks!
Tang Zhili walked over with heavy steps to pick up the little doll, turned around and asked Li Wanwan: "What is this?"

He always thought that Li Wanwan was innocent and cute, not a ruthless woman who used dirty tricks, but he didn't expect to be so crazy.

Seeing the solid evidence, Li Wanwan was hard-pressed to argue, but when she saw the maid trembling with fear, she insisted: "Master Hou, it must be this maid who did it! The Nu family just saw that she has always been hostile to Sister Xi. , must want to get rid of the slave family with the help of sister Xi! Please also ask the Marquis to clear the slave family's name!"

Tang Zhili remembered that Li Wanwan was just from Xiaojiabiyu, how could he know the art of witchcraft, so he also thought it was because of the maid.

"Say! Who ordered it!" Tang Zhili asked.

The maid was so frightened that she was sweating profusely, but she suddenly lost her voice and could not defend herself.

She waved her hands vigorously, trying to prove her innocence, but those present only felt that she was excusing herself from the crime she had committed.

Immediately afterwards, she began to foam at the mouth, and finally fell down and died in front of everyone.

Seeing that the show was over, Su Junxi left with her people.

Looking at Su Junxi's tall figure, Li Wanwan silently clenched her hands covering her stomach into fists, suppressing the hatred in her heart.

After entering a high school, who would be willing to be small?
If I can't get rid of you today, then tomorrow will be long. She is not in a hurry.

Remembering that Jun'er hadn't seen Bai for a few days, Su Junxi wrote a letter to Jun'er and told her, "Write a letter and give it to your mother. Remember, don't let anyone else know!"

"Jun'er understands! Don't worry, mother!"

After Jun'er put the letter away, he left the Hou's Mansion.

Su Junxi was pruning the peach blossom trees in the yard and asked Yan'er behind her: "How did you know that Li Wanwan wanted to harm me?"

Yan'er had no choice but to tell Su Junxi what she saw.

"When Aunt Li came yesterday, I happened to see her maid put something, and then the two of them fled in panic."

Yan'er also accidentally encountered the two of them doing something, so she was afraid of hurting Su Junxi, so she quietly sent the things to Li Wanwan's own room.

After such an incident happened, Mrs. Ye also advised Tang Zhili not to indulge in Wenrou Township, but to think more about how to preserve the identity of the Marquis.

"Jun'er is quite close to my mother these days. You should also go and see her and take this opportunity to ask her if she can hire a good teacher for Jun'er."

Ye gradually became fond of Su Junxi.

After all, she was a legitimate daughter of Duke An Guo. She came forward to hire a teacher from the palace to teach Jun'er, which saved her the trouble of looking for a suitable person.

"What the mother said is that the son has his own sense of purpose."

Tang Zhili was also thinking about Jun'er. He also thought about not seeing Bai for a few days, and felt a little ashamed.

During the time when he was pestered by Li Wanwan, he almost forgot about the existence of Bai's mother and son.

Mr. Bai had been staying in his room, so he must have been unaware of his concubine, so he thought it would be better to hide it for a while longer.
