Chapter 184 When the fake is true, the truth is also false
"Remember it clearly."
After looking at each other, Chunmiao and Lengyun both looked solemn:
"The servant understands."
"This slave will not mess around."
Nodding, Mu Lianzhi turned around and lay back on the bed:
"Then go and do what I tell you to do."
……
After the two men walked out, Madam Mu, Xia Xiu and Leng Yu hurried over again. Mu Lianzhi explained the general situation to the three of them, and then told Leng Yu and Xia Xiu what they should do, and then he lay on the bed pretending to be sick.
Sitting down beside the bed, Madam Mu was angry and distressed:
"This damned bastard is really haunting us. Even if he becomes a ghost, he won't let our family go?"
"Three years ago, your father and I didn't think you would be good, but you were bewitched by him. All your family members acted in a daze and talked about it all for the sake of that medicine. It's for the medicine, so we accepted it. We didn't expect that..."
"What a family."
"Fortunately, your father had a good impression of old Marquis Ping Yong."
"It's true that men are afraid of choosing the wrong career and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man. One wrong step will lead to all the wrong steps. It's been three years, and they still won't let you go?"
"Although Beitang Yi is marrying above his station, and mother still doesn't think highly of him, you can't stay in this place called the Marquis' Mansion, where people are eaten without leaving any bones. It would be best if he could help you escape."
"Zhizhi, you have been kind and soft-hearted since childhood, so don't be persuaded by others with just a few words."
"Don't be stupid. If you fail this time, it will be even harder for you to get a divorce in the future."
Thinking of this, Madam Mu was filled with worry and distress. Listening to this, Mu Lianzhi felt warm in her heart, but she felt extremely sympathetic towards the original owner. She took her mother's hand and squeezed it comfortingly:
"Mom, don't worry, we have always had channels of contact. He is not an ordinary person and will not be easily controlled by others."
They haven't moved any of the Marquis's chess pieces yet.
This on-the-spot response with Beitang Yi was really unexpected, but regardless of whether this happened or not, whether Ling Wenzhan came back or not, and whether she could be with Beitang Yi or not, it would not change her determination to destroy the Marquis' Mansion.
The Marquis' Mansion definitely cannot hold her back.
With a clear mind, Mu Lianzhi coquettishly hugged Madam Mu's arm again:
"Mom, I'm not worried about that. Even if he returns in his original form, I believe he will have a way. He is so domineering that he won't leave me alone. What I'm most worried about now is your and Dad's safety."
"It is easy to dodge an open attack but difficult to guard against an arrow from the dark."
"Why don't you just move in with me?"
"It's just a small matter. If he doesn't take action, I have ways to deal with it. I won't let the Marquis' Mansion take advantage of it again."
If the enemy comes, we will fight him with our soldiers; if the water comes, we will block it with earth. Anyway, the man can't get close to her now, so she is not in a hurry.
Looking up, Mu Lianzhi just looked at his mother, but caught a fleeting look of entanglement and evasion. As expected, his mother declined again.
"After all, it's your in-laws' house. We wouldn't feel comfortable living here. Don't worry, it's an important place in the capital, no one dares to mess around. Besides, we've been back for more than half a year. You were arranging these things when we didn't contact you at the beginning. We have the ability to protect ourselves. Don't your father and I know poisons without martial arts?"
"We have bought a big house in the capital, and we are going to live there with you when we come back."
"Don't worry. After three years of hardship, it won't be in vain if mom and dad return alive. No matter what happens, we will stick with you and will never leave you alone again."
Finally, Madam Mu gave a round of consolation. Mu Lianzhi said nothing, but she couldn't help but feel a little puzzled:
What is out there that makes them so reluctant to give up and yet they can't tell her?
Wanting to ask, but thinking of the most urgent matter at hand, Mu Lianzhi changed the subject again:
"Mom, there is something I really need your and Dad's help with."
Mu Lianzhi whispered a few more words close to her ear.
At this time, outside the door, Xia Xiu Lengyu was busy drawing a red Kongming lantern, and then accidentally released it into the air until it floated away; on the other side, Chunmiao and Leng Yun were running back and forth between the kitchen and the door, and they were so busy that they almost ran away.
Soon, news spread from Yuxiuyuan that Mu Lianzhi was frightened and bedridden.
……
Ever since the accident at Qingyun Mountain, in order to avoid suspicion and deal with the emperor, Beitang Yi returned to live in Beitang Mansion and never went in or out of the courtyard next to the Marquis' Mansion again, but all the previous arrangements remained the same.
That day, while he was discussing something with Si Chao in the study, he received the news that Ling Wenzhan had come back to life.
Looking at the note sent by Yutian Pavilion, Beitang Yi didn't react much, but Si Chao flipped through it again and again, and was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out of his head.
After burning the note, he turned the folding fan in his hand around and finally pressed it against his forehead:
"I knew it wouldn't go this smoothly."
"What did I say? You will die at the hands of this woman sooner or later. You can't stop one thing from happening, but another one pops up. You just got through the hurdle of the emperor, and now this one comes. Even people who have been dead for three years can be resurrected—"
What a hell.
"It's not so easy to marry a widow."
"It's not like all the women in the world are dead. Why did you have to pick on such a troublemaker?"
Staring at Beitang Yi, Si Chao couldn't help screaming in his heart.
He had just used some connections and both soft and hard tactics to hint at the Marquis' Mansion, and then Ling Wenzhan showed up. Well, all his efforts were in vain.
"Is studying medicine easy or is scientific research difficult? Good things take time. If you were asked to choose the easy one but one you don't like, would you be willing?"
Beitang Yi glanced at him, but his eyes didn't even move:
"Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you. You will be perfect when you stop complaining to me."
With just one sentence, Si Chao lost his temper instantly.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense. You have to solve the problem for me even if you tell me. Even if all the women in the world were pushed in front of me, I wouldn't be able to pick out one that I like and is willing to die for me. Si Chao, that was her self-torture trick, but it wasn't hers. She would have lost her life just by a little bit."
Thinking of the scene that day, Beitang Yi's voice trembled unconsciously:
"You don't understand what that day meant to me..."
"I know."
This time when he spoke, Si Chao was not at all careless:
How could he not understand?
He once again personally experienced the pain of losing a loved one who almost died for him. Sometimes, death is a relief, and life is not easier for the living than for the dead.
He tried his best to make himself strong but cautious. Wasn't it because he was afraid that the same thing seven years ago would happen again?
When their eyes met, Si Chao seemed to suddenly understand the origin of his obsession with Mu Lianzhi. He had too little and he was afraid of losing it.
They smiled at each other and understood each other tacitly.
"This matter is actually not that difficult. When the truth is made false, the false becomes true, and when the false is made true, the true becomes false. It all depends on how we handle and characterize it. However, the attitude of the Marquis' Mansion and Miss Mu is still crucial..."
As soon as Si Chao finished speaking, another voice came from outside the door:
"Sir, I have something to report--"
