In regards to Qiu Zhu, after Li Ning'er had pleaded for help several times, he had practically cried tears these two days.

She and Qiu Zhu had grown up together. Qiu Zhu had served her for so many years, married with her, and accompanied her in this completely unfamiliar place. Even though he knew that she was in a bad situation, he still took care of her.

Now that Qiu Zhu had made a mistake and she could not save him, she could not help but feel remorse and heartache.

When Li Chenxuan heard the servant report that he had come, he saw the scene of Li Ning'er lying on the bed, half dead.

He frowned in displeasure and coldly said, "It's only a servant girl. What are you doing?"

In the eyes of these people, the lives of slaves were the most worthless. There was no need to worry about the life and death of a mere maid.

Fortunately, someone had pointed out Qiu Zhu. Otherwise, if this case continued to drag on, Prime Minister Jiang and Xiao Jingyue would furiously push all the blame onto her.

Li Ning'er stared at the roof of the tent in a daze, and choked with sobs: "Qiu Zhu is only a servant, but she has taken care of me with all her heart for so many years, and I have long seen her as my sister. Now that something has happened to her, I am unable to help her, and can only watch on helplessly as she dies.

"Sisterhood?" The corner of Li Chenxuan's mouth hooked up into a sneer of ridicule, "If she really cared about you, her master, she wouldn't have done such a thing!"

Li Ning'er suddenly sat up, her eyes red as she retorted: "Qiu Zhu didn't mean it, she told me that she was hit in the calf by someone …"

Li Chenxuan interrupted her with a cold voice: "So what?"

"…"

Li Ning'er choked, and immediately fell silent.

The lives of servants were just that cheap.

No matter what the cause is, if I say it's you, then it's you.

Let alone the fact that she couldn't find the person who smashed those things, even if she did, Qiu Zhu might be able to escape death, but it would definitely not be a good thing.

This was because her mother-in-law and mother would never allow a servant girl who accidentally hurt her mistress to stay by her side.

Seeing that she did not say a word, Li Chenxuan changed the topic: "You went to find Mrs. Xiao a few days ago?"

Mentioning this matter, a hint of complaint quickly flashed past Li Ning'er's eyes, "I went to look for him, but I didn't see him."

It had already been two days, and Qu Ling might not know that he had gone to find her, but she definitely knew about Qiu Zhu's matter.

With her intelligence, how could she not guess that he was asking for her help?

However, she didn't move at all, as if she didn't want to help at all.

Or perhaps it could be said that Qiu Zhu's matter was actually what she had said to the General Xiao!

That day, on the street, Qu Ling had also said that she saw who bumped into her.

Li Chenxuan didn't know what she was thinking and said gently, "Don't go anymore. Even if Mrs. Xiao agrees to let her go, General Xiao and Prime Minister Jiang will not agree to let her go. If you do not want anyone to take care of you, then I will get my mother-in-law to order two maids from Caoital Officials Palace tomorrow. "

Li Ning'er didn't say anything, but instead, he quietly turned his back on Yun Che and laid down.

He quietly reached his hand under the soft pillow and gripped the small paper bag that was always hidden underneath. Deep in his heart, a hidden hatred rose up and grew without restraint.

He had never cared about her, nor did he care about her feelings.

That day, she had clearly fallen as well, and even her hair was a mess. However, when he saw her, he immediately asked her what had happened, and even when he returned, he did not say a single word of concern.

When the Caoital Officials Residence came to arrest Qiu Zhu, he even handed Qiu Zhu over without asking her.

She was clearly his legitimate wife, but when she came to his house, she did not spend many days of her life. Not only did she use her own blood to support his life, she even saw the hairpin of another girl in his arms and thought of her.

She still did not give up, and now she had even snatched away the last of her autumn bamboo.

What had she done wrong? Was she supposed to suffer, to lose the only person she trusted?

She really, really hated him …

Inside the General Mansion's study, Xiao Jingyue was seated behind a table. Murong Shan was currently uneasily standing in front of a table.

Xiao Jingyue asked with a sunken voice, "Murong Yan has already returned to the Murong Villa, why didn't you follow him back?"

Because of Qu Ling, he was tripped in the capital, and was unable to personally complete the mission given to him by the Emperor, so he could only arrange for people to go and listen in.

After settling the matter with the servant, he had been busy all this while, until now, he had nothing to do and asked Murong Shan about the reason why he was staying in the capital.

Murong Shan lowered his head, and didn't dare look at him. He said in a low voice: "I came here with my second aunt."

Naturally, this was only part of the reason. The most important reason was that Xiao Jingyue was in the capital.

She wanted to see him, even just once.

"Why were you there that day?" He was referring to the day Qu Ling was knocked down, the reason why Murong Shan appeared in that place.

"I'm following a black-clothed person. That person is in contact with my second aunt. I suspect that they are plotting something." When Murong Shan said till here, he hesitated for a moment before continuing, "Actually, that day when the black-clothed man threw a stone at the servant girl's leg, that servant girl fell down."

Presumably, Murong Shan also did not know the identity of the black-clothed man, he had probably lost the person who was able to find General Mansion.

Xiao Jingyue didn't want to know why the servant fell and he didn't want to continue discussing with her. He said lightly, "If there's nothing else, go back to the Murong Villa."

That day in the manor, he had promised her grandfather that he would do his best to not see her if he could.

Furthermore, in order to prevent his wife from being jealous, he really did not want to see her. Thus, he did not say much before he began to chase her away.

Murong Shan panicked and hurriedly said: "Big Brother Xiao, I heard that you guys are going out to do something. Can you bring me along?

Xiao Jingyue didn't even need to think about whom he heard this from to guess it.

Immediately shouted coldly: "Xiao San!"

Xiao San answered: "Master!"

"Clean all the latrine rooms in the mansion!"

"…"

Xiao San knew he had made a mistake, without any complaints, he immediately went down to clean the latrine.

Seeing that, Murong Shan felt guilty, and could not help but say: "Don't punish him, it was me."

Xiao Jingyue looked at her coldly.

Murong Shan's face stiffened as he swallowed down the rest of his words.

After a long while, he finally squeezed out, "I'll help him sweep it!"

Finished speaking, she immediately ran out, afraid that if she stayed any longer, Xiao Jingyue would continue to chase her away.

Compared to being rushed back to Murong Manor, she was willing to clean the latrine for him.

That way, he could at least see him.

When Qu Ling heard that Murong Shan was in the manor, she pouted her lips.

Ever since Murong Yan left, she had not heard any news of him. She thought that he had left with her, but who knew that he would be so persistent!

Just as Qu Ling was feeling depressed, and hearing from Xiao Er that Murong Shan had gone to clean the latrine with Xiao San, his eyes suddenly lit up.

She slapped the table and stood up, waved her small hand, and said to Xiao Er: "Let's go, let's go watch and add insult to injury!"

Xiao Er: "..."

Within the entire General Mansion, there were at least four to five latrine rooms.

Qu Ling led the Xiao Er to look one by one, finally finding Xiao San and Murong Shan.

Seeing Murong Shan's face with half of his face tightly wrapped in a cloth, with eyes full of disgust and yet unable to hold back his emotions, she immediately became happy.
