Afternoon.

The Shui’s Marion of the capital.

Shui Yiyuan lied on the study chair, pinching his forehead.

He really wanted to know why Shui Qingyan had gone to the Ma Ji Town. If the emperor found out that Shui Qingyan had went to the Ma Ji Town …

Thinking about that, Shui Yiyuan kicked the small table beside his feet, causing the tea on the table to fall.

"Master, someone from the palace has come to invite you into the palace." Outside the door was the servant Ah Yuan's voice.

Shui Yiyuan was immediately shocked. What was there to be afraid of?

At night.

Shui Yiyuan returned from the palace with a darkened face.

The other fortunate thing was that the reason the Emperor looked for him last night was not because Shui Qingyan did not return home, nor was it because Shui Qingyan had gone to the Ma Ji Town, but because the Assistant Minister had entered into his copy, and the reason was that he had failed to teach the girl, the fourth lady of the Shui family had returned in the middle of the night from outside the city, so the people guarding the city could be the witnesses.

He didn't understand what Shui Qingyan was doing outside the city in the middle of the night.

After returning home, Shui Yiyuan once again entered the study room.

Shui Qingyan who was in the bamboo forest did not know that Assistant Minister had found out about his return from outside the city the day before yesterday.

On the second day, the morning sunlight shone through the gaps between the bamboo leaves onto Shui Qingyan's face.

At this time, Shui Qingyan's entire body was ice-cold, his hair was covered with a layer of white frost, and there was not a trace of life in his hair, as though she was a dead man.

After Phoenix Yaoling finished her breakfast, she was in the middle of meditating and operating her Qi. Suddenly, the purple spider jumped out from her sleeve and ran out.

"Zi'er!" Phoenix Yaoling suddenly opened her eyes.

The Purple Spider stopped and looked at its owner. Then, it moved its front legs and let out a series of squeaks. It then walked out of the house without even turning its head back.

Phoenix Yaoling raised her eyebrows, "Someone is provoking it? "Who dares to provoke her treasure? You don't want to live anymore?" She then tiptoed and followed.

In the bamboo forest, a white line whizzed across the ground. Phoenix Yaoling flew in the air and decisively saw the white line Zi'er was chasing after.

"It's actually that white Snake King!" Phoenix Yaoling said with a smile that was not a smile.

After flying for a while, the white line suddenly stopped and the purple spider also stopped.

The Violet Spider was ready for a duel, this damn snake dared to provoke it.

Phoenix Yaoling also stopped. If these two spirit objects that were treasures of this world were to fight, it was not certain who would win. Furthermore, she had to protect the white snake well, and what was inside the white snake was Chu Chen's medicine.

Just as she was thinking, Phoenix Yaoling suddenly felt the white snake giving its tongue out to her.

Phoenix Yaoling raised her eyebrows and looked at the white snake. In one glance, she could see that there was even Shui Qingyan lying there, not knowing if she was dead or alive.

"So it's like that!" Phoenix Yaoling suddenly realized that the reason the Snake King lured her here was to save Shui Qingyan.

The Snake King looked at Phoenix Yaoling who was standing on the tip of the bamboo with her tongue out, her eyes looking very human.

Phoenix Yaoling raised her eyebrows at the Snake King: "If you submit to me, I'll save her."

The white snake suddenly took a few steps back before opening its mouth in a ferocious manner. At the same time, rustling sounds came from its surroundings. The Violet Spider was the first to be swept away by the tail of a snake that had been lying in ambush.

Buji! The Violet Spider was caught off guard and heavily fell to the ground.

Phoenix Yaoling's face darkened, this snake still had the intelligence to ambush people, no wonder Chu Chen had chased after it for four years.

After the purple spider landed on the ground, it was immediately surrounded by a dozen snakes. The usually high-spirited purple spider could only raise its forelegs ferociously, not daring to move.

Phoenix Yaoling's eyes narrowed. She was actually set up by a snake, she was sure that if she moved, those snakes would fight to the death to kill Zi'er.

Phoenix Yaoling had no choice.

"I wonder why you care so much about her." Phoenix Yaoling rubbed her chin, looking at the Snake King.

It knew that it had achieved its goal. As a result, it opened its mouth and roared, and in an instant, all the snakes retreated as fast as lightning.

After the purple spider was safe, it immediately ran towards Phoenix Yaoling's direction.

Phoenix Yaoling landed beside Shui Qingyan and probed for her breath. Then, she picked up Shui Qingyan and flew away.

On a bamboo not too far away, the White Snake saw that Shui Qingyan had disappeared, and climbed down the bamboo, crawling towards the deeper parts of the bamboo.

Inside the bamboo house, Phoenix Yaoling looked at the snake teeth marks on Shui Qingyan's wrist and furrowed her brows.

She was saved by the snake, but was bitten again. She didn't understand, that Snake King was obviously here to save Shui Qingyan, how could she allow the snake to bite Shui Qingyan?

As she thought about it, Phoenix Yaoling took another look at Shui Qingyan's pulse. She discovered that Shui Qingyan's life was not in danger, and she wasn't poisoned either. She immediately put down Shui Qingyan's wrist, and then patted her face.

In the capital.

On this day, Shui Yiyuan wore a pair of panda eyes.

Shui Yiyuan was handsome. People of the same age group would look at him every single day, because Shui Yiyuan's clothes were always what they wanted to imitate.

Although Shui Yiyuan was only a national doctor, he was still highly valued by the emperor. For many of the questions in the imperial court, the emperor would sometimes ask, "What do you think of a water love official?", so other than Assistant Minister who liked to fight against Shui Yiyuan, there were also Prince Chu who did not take Shui Yiyuan seriously. No one noticed that Shui Yiyuan did not take the initiative to greet them.

On this day, countless' why is Doctor Shui unable to sleep 'rang beside Shui Yiyuan's ears.

Shui Yiyuan was a polite person, so he answered countless of 'I ate too much, and didn't sleep well'.

Although everyone was somewhat suspicious of Shui Yiyuan's answer, none of them dared to show any sign of doubt in front of Shui Yiyuan.

And because Shui Yiyuan had received too much attention today, the Prince Chu couldn't help but be suspicious of the matter of Shui Yiyuan going to the Shui’s Marion yesterday.

Prince Chu paced back and forth in the study after he returned to the Prince Chu Palace. From his point of view, although the Fourth Miss of Shui’s Marion did not have a good character, she had a good appearance, and her grandson was definitely more beautiful than her son.

In the Prince Chu's Palace, Shui Yiyuan naturally did not know what the Prince Chu was thinking at all. After returning home, Shui Yiyuan went straight to the study room.

After noon, the people from Shui’s Marion all knew that the old master did not have any lunch.

Down the stairs, Madam Hu carried the personally cooked chicken and corn porridge to the study room.

"Master, Second Aunt requests an audience." Ah Yuan shouted from outside the door.

When Shui Yiyuan opened the door, what entered his nose was the fragrance of chicken and corn.

"Old master, if you don't eat, your body will be damaged." Madam Hu looked at Shui Yiyuan worriedly.

Shui Yiyuan glanced at the porridge on Madam Hu's head, turned around and secretly swallowed his saliva: "Ah Yuan, take it down, come in."

Madam Hu did not expect Shui Yiyuan to still refuse to eat and immediately said: "Master, this is my concubine …"

"Take it down." Shui Yiyuan said impatiently.

Madam Hu could only give the tray to Ah Yuan and enter.

"Is the old master worrying about the Fourth Miss?" Madam Hu and Shui Yiyuan were like a flower of explanation.

Shui Yiyuan continued to lie on the reclining chair, and did not say a word.

"Master, is the Fourth Miss really not in the Prince Chu Palace?" The Madam Hu asked softly.

Shui Yiyuan did not answer.

Seeing that Shui Yiyuan's face was filled with exhaustion, the Madam Hu walked over to Shui Yiyuan's side and touched his temple: "Old master, the Fourth Miss has always been this way, nothing will happen to her."

"If she has a rule, then there won't be a rule in the entire capital!" Shui Yiyuan coldly snorted.

"Sigh, it's all my fault …" Madam Hu wanted to say that she had left early, otherwise the Fourth Miss would not have caused today's events to happen. But when the words were just about to leave his mouth, Madam Hu thought of Liu Ninghua's taboo, so she shut his mouth immediately.

"What are you blaming for?" Shui Yiyuan asked softly.

"It's nothing. I was just thinking that the old master needs to quickly marry a capable mistress and properly teach Fourth Miss. After all, if the news of him not returning home during the night undermines his reputation in the Shui’s Marion." Madam Hu smiled faintly as she held it out for Shui Yiyuan.

Shui Yiyuan let out a long sigh of relief, "She wants to properly teach him a lesson."

Hearing this, Madam Hu's heart suddenly skipped a beat. She didn't know if Shui Yiyuan meant to marry a matriarch, or if she really wanted to find someone to teach Shui Qingyan.

"Qingyan Ye did not return, so the fact that she went to the Ma Ji Town has not been spread out, right?" Shui Yiyuan asked.

Hearing Shui Yiyuan's question, Madam Hu's heart moved, and she said warmly: "Old master, do you still need me to worry?"

Shui Yiyuan nodded.

When the Madam Hu heard this, he said: "Master, it is not good for the news of Fourth Miss not returning overnight to spread. The Second Old Madam is the head, the Master should go over and give some pointers."

Hearing that, Shui Yiyuan opened his eyes, he had forgotten about this matter.

Shui Yiyuan did not like the two old wives and Madam Hua from the start. Shui Qingyan was not happy that Shui Qingyan had given his master the medium price.

"Qing Yan Ye did not return, so it is a bit improper for her to not return at all. Moreover, it doesn't seem like appropriate for her to grasp the control of the computer." Shui Yiyuan said as though he was deep in thought.

When Shui Yiyuan spoke, the Madam Hu was overjoyed. The words that she said just now were to let Shui Yiyuan be the judge and take back her wife’s power.

Although Madam Hu was very happy, on the surface, she shook her head and said: "Master, perhaps Fourth Miss has something that is difficult to say."

"I have my own ideas about this." Shui Yiyuan said as he stood up.

"Master." Madam Hu wanted to say something but hesitated and shouted.

"Follow me to the Chang Le Yard." Shui Yiyuan said as he strode forward.

"Yes." Madam Hu's tone was perturbed, but her eyes couldn't help but to jump with excitement. The wife’s power of the Shui family must still be hers.

"Master, you're here." Yu Yan saw Shui Yiyuan enter the courtyard with her sharp eyes, and immediately went forward to welcome him. When Yu Yan saw that Madam Hu was following behind Shui Yiyuan, her heart skipped a beat.

"Where are the two old wives?" Shui Yiyuan did not enter the house with a cold face.

"The two old wives are taking a nap." Yu Yan could clearly feel the stifling aura on Shui Yiyuan's body, and she muttered in her heart, As expected, there's nothing good going on.

"Send the account books and keys to the Qing'an Yard!" Shui Yiyuan said.

Yu Yan raised her head abruptly and froze in place.

Within the room.

Madam Hua, who was napping, had long been shocked by Shui Yiyuan's words. She could vaguely hear someone say, "Send all the account books and keys to Qing'an Yard". With a swoosh, Madam Hua sat up, and blurted out two words: "Who would dare!"

Madam Hua couldn't tell if she was dreaming or real, and because she sat up so quickly, her head was spinning.

Senior Servant Qiu immediately noticed that Madam Hua was not feeling well, so she stepped forward and pressed her temples: "The two old madams must be having a nightmare."

"Maybe. I dreamt that someone was going to deliver the account book and the key to the Qing'an Yard.

Outside the house.

"Why aren't you informing the two old wives what are you standing here for?" Shui Yiyuan frowned as he looked at Yu Yan.

"Oh, oh, oh. This servant will go now." Yu Yan turned around and almost bumped into the door frame. If the two old wives heard this, their lungs would explode. Yu Yan prayed silently that she would not be angered by the madame.

Behind Shui Yiyuan, the Madam Hu tightly grasped the handkerchief in her hands. She and the wife’s power s from the Shui’s Marion were separated by only the door in front of them, and there was a key box inside the door.

When Yu Yan left, the Ah Yuan immediately ran over: "Master, the Prince Chu Palace sent someone to invite the Master over."

"Oh?" Shui Yiyuan exclaimed in surprise upon hearing this, but in the next moment, his face darkened. He then turned around, wanting to see what Prince Chu had to say this time.

Therefore, Shui Yiyuan took a glance at the Madam Hua's door, then looked at the Madam Hu, and said: "I'll make a trip to the Prince Chu's Palace. If the two old wives don't give you the key and account book, then send someone to the Prince Chu's Palace to find me or the Ah Yuan."

"Your humble servant understands." Madam Hu immediately bowed, "Master, take care."

"Yes." Shui Yiyuan nodded, then turned around and left.

The Ah Yuan followed closely behind.

Inside the house.

After Yu Yan entered the room, the Madam Hua had already woken up. She hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Two old madams, old master, old master …"

"Has something happened to the old master?" Madam Hua raised her eyebrows, her eyes and tone did not contain any worry.

"No." Yu Yan glanced at Madam Hua, then spoke out, "Master ordered, send the account book and key to Qing'an Yard."

"What did you say!" Madam Hua suddenly opened her eyes wide.

"Master came here a moment ago, and didn't say anything. He just ordered someone to send the account book and the key to the Qing'an Yard Second Aunt." Yu Yan continued, "I don't know what method Second Aunt used, it was Master who brought Second Aunt here."

"Bastard! Bastard!" "I want to ask him what Shui Yiyuan wants to do. Back then, my health was not well, so I let a concubine take over, but now … he wants to lose all face for the Shui family!"

When she said till here, Madam Hua was so angry that she almost passed out.

The Senior Servant Qiu immediately gave the Madam Hua a peace of mind: "Two old madams, don't worry, the wife’s power is in Fourth Miss's hands right now. Fourth Miss did not agree, there is no reason for you to give it away while Fourth Miss is not at home."

When Madam Hua heard this, she immediately looked at Senior Servant Qiu. "You're right, the account book in the key box was handed over by Qingyan. Only Qingyan can take the account book and the key back from here."

Senior Servant Qiu nodded her head: "Two old wives should be at ease, Second Aunt is a concubine's room after all, how can I let my wife rule the house? Back then, two old wives' bodies were not well, but now, two old wives are very healthy, and not afraid of fighting with Madam Hu."

When Madam Hua heard that, he nodded with narrowed eyes: "Second Aunt is a concubine after all, the Shui family did not have a matriarch for many years, so my position has always been suppressed. Since the pretty girl gave me the chance, if I do not turn things around, I will be sorry for the key box there."

"The two old wives are right, these few years as a noble family in the capital, whenever Shui’s Marion is mentioned, they would sneer at the concubine as the boss. If the master allows the Second Aunt to rule again without any reason, the two old lords can act tough." Senior Servant Qiu also gritted her teeth as she said, "All these years, Second Aunt has never placed any importance on our Chang Le Yard."

The Madam Hua heard and nodded. This wife’s power, no matter what, could not be easily let out.

"Is anyone there?" At this time, someone shouted from outside the door, "Second Aunt is here to pay respects to the two old wives, is there anyone here?"

Senior Servant Qiu glanced at Madam Hua: "Two old madams should rest first, leave everything to me."

Madam Hua heaved a long sigh of relief. Her train of thoughts became clearer, and many things became clear to him. She nodded her head immediately: "Just say that I'm still not up yet."

Senior Servant Qiu smiled and nodded. "Old two grandma can relax and sleep for a while."

"Go." Madam Hua nodded her head, her eyebrows knitted together as she began to think of a countermeasure.

When Senior Servant Qiu went out, she saw that Second Aunt and Senior Servant Rong were standing in the courtyard, but she did not see Shui Yiyuan's figure. If Shui Yiyuan was not here, she would be able to perform better. Senior Servant Qiu heaved a sigh of relief in her heart.

"Second Aunt." Senior Servant Qiu's eyes were calm and respectful as she bowed together with him.

"Are the two old wives awake?" The Second Aunt was dressed in peach red clothes, looking radiant.

"The two old madams haven't woken up yet. Second Aunt should be late." Senior Servant Qiu looked at him calmly.

Madam Hu scolded Senior Servant Qiu in her heart as an old fox, then said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if two old madams are still awake. Master has asked me to come and retrieve the clan account book and the warehouse key, I hope Senior Servant Qiu can help out."

Senior Servant Qiu smiled faintly: "I ask Second Aunt to wait for the two old wives to wake up first. How would I, as a servant, dare to touch the things that belong to the two old wives."

Madam Hu's expression froze.

Senior Servant Rong secretly pinched Madam Hu, and like Madam Hu, she looked at each other. Then, Madam Hu withdrew her smile: "Since that's the case, then I can only ask my master to come and get it."

Senior Servant Qiu still maintained the same attitude: "Second Aunt is too serious, no matter what, the two old wives are still equal wives that the Grand Old Master carries. Even if the Old Master's half a mother, she probably wouldn't ignore the two old wives' habit and wake them up for a small matter."

Madam Hu naturally understood that Senior Servant Qiu was trying to stall for time. She could guarantee that Madam Hua would raise her ears to listen to their conversation, but she couldn't rush in.

"Second Aunt is also a wise man. The two old wives' afternoon naps aren't something that can be done today." Senior Servant Qiu's tone was very calm, without the slightest bit of smoke or fire.

Madam Hu fiercely pulled the handkerchief in her hand. She had originally thought that since she came today, it would most likely be done with just the matter. She never expected that Madam Hua would actually come up with such a reason to shirk time. She was also afraid that things might get out of hand if things dragged on. This time, she was going to tell the second young miss about the marriage at all costs. The second young miss was no longer young.

"Second Aunt, since the two old madams haven't woken up yet, why don't we go back first? We'll come back later." The Senior Servant Rong made trouble for the Madam Hu.

thought about it and felt that this matter could not be rushed. wife’s power was like a cooked duck to her, and now that she had acted a little too hastily, a smile appeared on her face again: "Since that's the case, come back later."

"Take care, Second Aunt." Senior Servant Qiu bowed.

Seeing that, Second Aunt nodded and turned, the smile on her face immediately disappearing. If she were to gain the authority of the clan, she would definitely not let Chang Le Yard go so easily.

After sending off the Second Aunt, they entered the house. The two old wives were still sitting on the bed. Yu Yan took off her clothes and draped them over the two old wives.

"Madam, the weather in March is prone to illness. You must take care of your body at this time of the month and don't freeze over." Senior Servant Qiu came over and tucked the Madam Hua in.

"It's fine. Wear your clothes and look at your account today. Aren't you going to see Chief Manager tomorrow?" Madam Hua frowned. She wanted to make use of the fact that she was in charge of the whole Shui family. She would not let go of this wife’s power.

When Senior Servant Qiu heard this, she reminded them, "Two old madams, be careful of Second Aunt taking advantage of tomorrow's chaos. Second Aunt has been in charge for many years, so those Chief Manager and those other Chief Manager are quite familiar with each other."

Hearing that, the Madam Hua nodded her head, "If only Qingyan was here. Her identity as the Fourth Miss of the Shui family is even more orthodox than the Madam Hu."

In the afternoon, Madam Hua was in her room, looking through the accounts for the entire afternoon. She would definitely set up the image of a family member in front of Chief Manager tomorrow.
