Xu Weibei Is Poisoned

But Linglong didn't ask. She was still immersed in her own calculations and wouldn't budge an inch. "Just convey my message, and the Marquis will understand."

"Are you threatening the Marquis?" Gao Lan couldn't help but get angry.

Because Linglong has always been a close person to Xu Weibei, she should indeed know many secrets that are unknown to others.

"If that's how you want to think, there's nothing I can do." Linglong wiped away a tear. "Since you all disregard A Yi's life or death, I have no other choice but to resort to this."

"Okay, okay, okay."

She actually dared to admit that she was threatening someone.

"Your conscience has been eaten by dogs!" Gao Lan roared, his voice growing colder. "I have said all I have to say. From now on, unless the Marquis orders it, I will not come again. All our past relationship is severed. Linglong, you'd better take care of yourself from now on!"

After saying that, he turned and left, leaving Linglong with an angry departing figure.

Linglong looked down at A Yi, who was fast asleep in her arms, tears streaming down her face, and murmured softly, "A Yi, everything your father has is yours, and no one can take it from you. In your father's heart, you are his legitimate daughter."

Upon hearing this, Xu Weibei waved his hand, indicating that he didn't take it to heart.

"But my Marquis, I'm worried she might go around saying things that don't belong to her," Gao Lan said resolutely.

He had witnessed Linglong's madness and felt he could no longer keep her in the Capital.

"Send her away from the Capital and have her closely guarded," Gao Lan sincerely suggested.

Xu Weibei replied, "No need, let her go."

He is not plotting a rebellion, so what incriminating evidence can be used against him?

It was nothing more than him saying a few bad things about someone behind their back.

Xu Weibei didn't feel that he was completely open and honest, and had nothing to be ashamed of.

He simply didn't have the energy to argue with Linglong at the moment, so he let her be.

From the moment she stubbornly refused to listen to advice and Xue Fengxian, Xu Weibei had actually stopped caring about her.

Xu Weibei is currently only in charge of Xue Fengxian's women and children, nothing more.

He has a clear conscience, but he doesn't take responsibility for satisfying everyone.

If Linglong has a better place to go, then she should go and try to get it.

"By the way, has Fang Tingxiu's matter been settled?" Xu Weibei asked again.

Gao Lan nodded. "He should be able to get promoted before he gets married."

Fang Tingxiu really got a great deal.

He took a punch and a kick, then rode a rocket to level up several times.

However, Gao Lan could tell that his Marquis was actually quite pleased.

However, the shadow of "not being able to do it" was too heavy, so he didn't show it at the moment.

The Marquis probably thought to himself with a touch of self-deprecation, "Even if I've blocked one Fang Tingxiu, who's next?"

"What has she been busy with lately?" Xu Weibei asked.

Gao Lan didn't mistake this "she" for Fang Tingxiu, and naturally replied, "Busy farming, and... cooking for you."

Gu Wanning would have her Zhi Nu deliver some food almost every other day.

Although no further explanation was given, the concern expressed was deeply touching.

Xu Weibei said quietly, "She's treating me like a patient."

"Then why don't we tell her to stop working?" Gao Lan also felt that Gu Wanning, who was usually so aggressive in front of the Marquis, was now being so cautious, which made him feel uneasy.

Sympathy isn't bad, but sometimes it can hurt.

"Then what do I have left?"

Gao Lan remained silent.

He had never seen the Marquis so vulnerable, but as a man, he understood.

If you can't even be a man, how can you talk about being a pillar of society?

Gao Lan thought to himself, "Physician Bian should be back soon."

On his journey, Physician Bian encountered a villager who had fallen ill, suspected to be suffering from a plague, so he decided to stay temporarily.

Gao Lan was anxious, but he also understood what was more important.

He dared not mention Physician Bian, fearing that Xu Weibei would be anxious, and also fearing that he would place high hopes on him only to be disappointed. So, all his words turned into a silent sigh.

When Gu Wanning returned home from the fields that day, she brought back a basket of crabs.

The crabs were small, but they were unusually plump for this season.

"What are you so happy about!" Er Ya muttered. "Those kids traded crabs for candy with you. You're losing out big time."

Crabs are all shells, who wants to eat them!

"What's the big deal? They're just kids from the Estate," Gu Wanning said with a smile. "They can also help keep an eye on our crops."

"That's true," Er Ya said. "Miss, please don't make spicy crab anymore. The old man is getting a lot of internal heat lately."

Gu Wanning: "... You're always so concerned about my older brother. Why is he so upset?"

"I don't know, but I'd guess it's mostly related to the eldest young lady?"

Gu Wanqing?

What's wrong with her?

Gu Wanning hadn't actually inquired about news from her side.

"The Prince's favorite concubine caught a cold and died," Er Ya said. "The Prince has gone mad, saying that the eldest aunt was jealous and that she killed her."

Gu Wanning: "..."

Is the descent into darkness happening this fast?

Er Ya was still muttering to herself, "Isn't this nonsense? How could the eldest young lady do such a thing? If a favored concubine really wanted to take her place, the eldest young lady would probably virtuously give up her position."

Gu Wanning: That's not necessarily true...

The Gu Wanqing of today is not the Gu Wanqing of the past.

She is Niohuru Wanqing.

It's normal for Gu Anqi to worry about her.

"Stop the car! Stop the car! The crabs have escaped!" Er Ya suddenly shouted.

Gu Wanning looked and saw that the basket lid had been pushed open, and only a small portion of the crab remained.

Everyone scrambled down to catch crabs.

Er Ya caught two and brought them back, then spotted a person holding a child not far away.

"Miss, look, isn't that Linglong, the Marquis is keeping outside?"

At that moment, Gu Wanning was outwitting a crab that was crawling sideways on the ground, and she glanced at it upon hearing this.
