Chapter 301: Transmigrated into the Unfavored Cannon Fodder Wife of the Marquisate 12
When Marquis Guangning arrived, Zhuyin was lying comfortably under the shade of a tree in the main courtyard, listening to a maid reading a storybook to her.
When she heard that the Marquis was coming, she just told the maid to stop reciting and stepped aside without standing up to greet him.
Marquis Guangning stood far away, looking at his daughter-in-law who was sitting in a chair with a calm and peaceful expression.
He has always been busy. Although Shen Suxin grew up in the Marquis' Mansion, Marquis Guangning did not see her very often.
As she got older, we met even less often.
Although the whole family would meet during the New Year holidays, he was so busy that he had no time to pay attention to even his own concubines, let alone such an outsider raised in the marquis's mansion.
It was the first time that he looked so seriously at the daughter of the benefactor of the Marquisate, his current daughter-in-law.
Zhuyin didn't stop him and let him watch.
The maids in the yard lowered their heads and dared not say a word.
"You all go down." Zhuyin said.
This scene is really weird. How can a father-in-law stare at his daughter-in-law?
The maids felt a little uneasy, and Zhuyin repeated it again, and then several maids lowered their heads and left.
When Marquis Guangning saw her appearance, he realized that he had always underestimated this girl.
He no longer hid his intention and said directly, "There has been a lot of unrest in the mansion recently. How much do you know?"
He didn't specify what it was, and he was also trying to test her.
Then Zhu Yin smiled and said, "I know everything."
Regardless of Guangning Hou's suspicious look, Zhuyin dropped another bomb: "This includes you being beaten in your dreams, and the Marquis's wife pretending to be sick. You got what you wanted."
Guangling Hou was completely unable to stand and stared at Zhu Yin: "You... who are you?"
Zhu Yin chuckled: "I am Shen Suxin. Lord Hou has watched me grow up since I was a child, don't you recognize me?"
Marquis Guangning was speechless for a moment.
Zhu Yin: "Do you have a lot of questions to ask?"
Marquis Guangning was still in shock.
Zhu Yin smiled and said, "Even if you ask, I won't tell you."
Her current appearance was nothing like the quiet and gentle girl in Guangling Hou's memory.
Guangning Hou was also a prominent figure. He tried to test her, "Suxin, your father has loved you all his life, and my wife and I treat you as our own daughter. I know Xie Zheng did something terrible, but his mother and I can guarantee that woman will never appear in front of you."
But Zhu Yin just smiled and shook her head, telling him: "It's too late."
Guangning Hou: "What's late?"
The girl in front of him smiled and said, "When I proposed to divorce Xie Zheng that day, you thought I was furious and lost my mind, but in fact, this is my last chance with you."
She sighed quietly, "I am only giving you a chance because your mansion has not treated me harshly over the years. If you had allowed me to take my dowry and divorce, and cut off ties with the mansion from now on, none of this would have happened."
She shook her head: "It's a pity that you don't allow it. Since you don't allow it, then I have no choice but to fulfill your wish and stay in the Marquis' Mansion to play with you."
The sun was hot in July, but at this moment Marquis Guangning felt as if he was in the middle of winter.
The girl in front of him laughed and yelled without any restraint.
Why does she do that?
What does she rely on?
If someone else dared to speak to him like this, even if it was the Marquis's wife, he would use his actions to teach her what the rules were.
But Marquis Guangning did not move for a long time.
He is not the fool that Xie Zheng is.
He held a high position in the government, controlled enormous secular power, and could deal with most ordinary people.
But whether it was the deceased father scolding his descendants in the dream, or the wife's extremely strange illness.
This is no longer something that ordinary people can do.
It's not that he didn't suspect Zhu Yin of playing tricks, but to treat the Marquis's illness, he invited famous doctors from the folk and the imperial physician from the palace to treat it.
It's not poisoning, it's definitely a cold.
He held back.
He even asked in a gentle tone: "So in your opinion, how can Madam's illness be cured?"
Zhu Yin held up her chin and thought for a while: "Well, doesn't she like to get up early? How about this, you ask her to dress up at 3 p.m. every day, walk around the entire mansion twice, and then go to the small kitchen to make me a breakfast and bring it to me. Remember not to do it too early, or I can't get up."
When Marquis Guangning heard this, veins on his forehead throbbed.
But this person was still saying: "I am not a demanding person. I have been here for seven consecutive days. I think after a few days of such exercise, Madam's illness will be cured."
Guangning Hou couldn't help but said: "Madam is too sick to get out of bed, I'm afraid it will be difficult for her to--"
Zhu Yin interrupted him calmly: "Since I said she can get up, she can get up naturally."
Marquis Guangning was silent.
Zhu Yin's words were clearly saying that Madam Hou's illness was related to her.
But, is there really such a miraculous thing?
He left in a hurry.
He returned to the main courtyard and waited until the marquis's wife woke up in the evening, then told her what Zhuyin had said.
Madam Hou was so angry that her face turned red: "How dare she... dare to humiliate me like this!"
Her hand was held down by Marquis Guangning: "Madam, why not give it a try."
The Marquis's wife was indignant and said, "My Lord! If this gets out, how can I hold my head up high in the future?"
Guangning Hou said calmly: "I can ensure that this matter will not be spread. Besides, Madam, look at your current condition. If you don't get cured quickly, will there really be a future for you?"
Mrs. Hou: "..."
It seems to make sense.
She had been drowsy these past few days, and when she woke up occasionally, she often saw Madam Du's eyes were red and she was quietly wiping away tears.
Marquis Guangning comforted his wife with a few words. After Nanny Du fed her the medicine and she reluctantly drank half a bowl of porridge, the marquis' wife fell into a deep sleep again.
He sat in the study with a serious expression.
Given Madam's current physical condition, under normal circumstances, she would never be able to get up at 3:00 p.m. tomorrow.
But what if she gets up?
He persuaded the lady to agree, also with the intention of testing Zhu Yin's ability.
He almost subconsciously wanted to call his personal guards to test the waters, but he quickly gave up the idea.
He can guarantee the absolute loyalty of his personal guards, and he also believes in their abilities to do things perfectly so that no one can find any evidence.
But again, this is only for ordinary people.
If his "daughter-in-law" really has the power to communicate with ghosts and gods and can even influence her deceased ancestors, then can his mortal methods really be hidden from him?
Thinking this way, he forcibly suppressed the urge to use "means" to solve the hidden danger, and just watched the movements of the Crown Prince's wife from a distance.
At the same time, he couldn't help but think of one more thing: If Shen Suxin really had such ability, then, did she really not know about the affair between Xie Zheng and that woman outside?
If he knew, why would he be so "angry" on the wedding night?
Or maybe it was really as she said.
She took the opportunity to propose a divorce. Was she really "giving your family a chance"?
