Chapter 218: The Houmen Madam Nursery School has started (4)
The old lady's yard, which had just calmed down, was in chaos again.
This kind of thing happened one after another. The nanny beside the old lady saw that the situation was not good and wanted to go out and ask the marquis to come back.
As a result, as soon as he left the old lady's yard, he was stopped by Bu Shi'an and his men.
"Madame Chen, mother has always been in good health, but she collapsed twice today."
"As the most respected housekeeper by her side, you don't serve her, but instead run away at this critical moment."
"This lady has to suspect that you are colluding with outsiders and intending to murder the old lady."
She said, waving behind her.
Two burly guards came out immediately and pushed Nanny Chen to the ground without saying a word.
"Take her away. Be sure to pry open her mouth and find out who conspired with her to murder her mother."
Nanny Chen didn't even have the time to defend herself before her mouth was covered and she was dragged away.
When the other people in the old lady's yard saw that the housekeeper, Nanny Chen, had been dragged away, they all huddled in the corner like quails.
Bu Shi'an glanced at them, stopped talking and walked to the old lady.
While checking the situation, he shook his hand and the silver needle in his sleeve directly pierced one of the old lady's acupuncture points.
This old guy is actually in poor health, and he relies entirely on the various tonic herbs that the original owner gave him after she married into the family.
He has fainted from anger twice in one day now, and with this injection from her, he is bound to suffer a stroke and hemiplegia.
You hid it from the original owner and used her dowry to support your son's mistress and illegitimate child, right?
When the original owner was sick, not only did she not let the doctor prescribe expensive medicine, she also provoked her from time to time.
You can also experience the days of being seriously ill, unable to get out of bed, and having no appropriate medicine to take.
It just so happens that you can also blame the cause of your illness on your eldest son.
It is reasonable that an old man who was in good health in the past was so angry about his son's private life that he suffered a stroke and hemiplegia.
After leaving the old lady's yard, Bu Shi'an gave instructions to the maid beside him.
"Have someone guard the old lady's yard. No one is allowed to enter or leave without my order."
"Also, arrange for someone to watch over the front and back doors of the mansion, including those dilapidated low walls and dog holes. Any place where someone could step out of the mansion, please."
"Before the imperial decree comes down tomorrow, nothing that happened in the Marquis' Mansion tonight can be revealed."
……
The next morning, Bu Shian had just gotten up and washed up.
The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict from the palace brought a team of guards and escorted a little boy who was covered tightly to the marquis's mansion.
After symbolically reading the imperial edict, the eunuch who announced it left.
But the team of guards with their faces covered and the little boy stayed.
Yesterday, Bu Shian went to the palace not only to have a reasonable excuse for not being in the mansion when there was chaos in the mansion.
More often than not, they would have secret conversations with the queen, who was the heroine.
She wants to kill the Marquis and the old lady.
She also had to become the sole owner of the marquisate as a widow with the presence of collateral relatives.
Then it is obvious that one must be adopted from a side branch.
But that bastard has his own children, so there is no way he would let her adopt a child from a side branch.
And it will be even more impossible after he dies.
When those side branches saw that the marquis was dead and she had no children, they would immediately start fighting for the title.
She could certainly kill them all at that time, but it would be a bad reputation after all.
If the original owner doesn't come back, she will live here until she dies.
Then the constant fighting will cause instability and damage to the reputation, which will affect the profitability of the shop. This is definitely not a good thing.
After much thought, I decided to form an alliance with the heroine.
Under the pretext that the little prince was recuperating with her, the bastard had no choice but to cooperate with her in everything she did, no matter how unwilling he was.
And by raising the little prince in the marquis's mansion, she could also prevent him from dying.
The fact that the heroine can slay the dragon for her son shows that she has the ability to survive the palace fight.
When the little prince dies, she will be heartbroken and want revenge.
The little prince is not dead, and is growing up. The women in the harem will fight even more fiercely so that their children can ascend to the throne.
Sooner or later, the heroine will be forced to embark on the path of slaying the dragon.
She did this in advance and asked the heroine to owe her a favor and establish a good relationship with the young prince.
After the throne is passed on, her retirement life will be easier and no one will dare to cause trouble for her.
I didn't rest in the previous few worlds, so it's just right for me to take a break and retire after the troubles in this world are resolved.
Thinking of the carefree retirement life of eating and drinking every day, Bu Shi'an felt even more attentively when he looked at the tightly wrapped little prince in front of him.
This is a guarantee for a better retirement life.
The little prince was suddenly sent out of the palace and was repeatedly warned by his mother. He was resistant to his aunt.
However, as a fast-travel missioner who had experienced several worlds, Bu Shi'an quickly found a topic to break the ice with the little prince who was full of resistance and defense.
He quickly let down his guard when faced with those new and bizarre stories that he had never heard of before.
When the little prince's emotions stabilized, Bu Shi'an immediately gave the maid a look.
Soon, news spread outside the Marquis Cheng'en's mansion that the old lady had fainted and suffered a stroke because she was so angry about her son having a mistress.
Marquis Cheng'en, who was immersed in the affection he shared with his concubine's illegitimate son, finally heard the news from the mouth of his servant.
He hurried back home and went to the old lady's yard first.
Seeing his mother lying on the bed with crooked eyes and a twisted mouth, unable to speak, he became so angry that he couldn't help but scold the maids and servants around her.
"Mother was usually in good health, how could she suddenly have a stroke? It must be because you servants didn't take good care of her."
As he spoke, he took the medicine bowl and tray held by the maid and threw them out.
The wooden tray smashed to the ground, the porcelain bowl shattered into pieces, and the black medicine juice flowed all over the floor.
As he grew angry, all the servants in the room knelt down and begged for mercy, but no one in charge stood up.
He frowned and glanced at the servant kneeling on the ground.
"Where's Nanny Chen?"
"As the head nanny who manages my mother, you're not here at this time."
No one answered.
The servants knew that the marquis was away from home most of the year and his only role in the mansion was to hold the title. All affairs in the mansion were decided by the mistress.
Now that the old lady is ill, the lady has said that she will no longer be in charge of the expenses in the mansion.
These servants still want to stay in this marquis's mansion and get the monthly salary to live a good life.
Everyone wants to curry favor with the lady, so how could they possibly rush to expose her faults?
Not receiving a reply, Marquis Cheng'en's face was distorted with anger.
"Okay, okay, you won't tell me, right? You servants are rebelling."
"Laifu, go and get these people's indentures."
"If I don't get an answer today, I will sell all the servants in this house."
Seeing that he was completely enraged, the servants no longer considered whether telling him would offend the lady.
They all talked at once, fearing that they would be sent out of the house if they were a step late.
From the conversations here and there, Marquis Cheng'en pieced together the truth.
