Chapter 282: That means he is not destined to be like that!
Fu Shan was silent for a moment before speaking, "Madame Qian reported that the Third Young Mistress also wanted to take action against the Liu family girl. She bribed her and gave her a small bottle of medicine, asking her to dissolve it in a decoction and feed it to the Liu family girl."
"Madame Qian has already tried that medicine. It's made from safflower. It causes heavy bleeding and makes you infertile."
"Madame Qian hid this medicine because she was afraid it would conflict with the medicine I gave her, so she awaits your instructions—"
The old marquis smiled inexplicably after hearing this and said, "I didn't realize that among the granddaughters-in-law of this family, the daughter of the Zhao family is the most cruel."
Fu Shan asked hesitantly, "Should this safflower juice be given to the Liu family girl?"
The old marquis nodded without hesitation: "Since Brother Ming's daughter-in-law has made up her mind, let her do what she wants! It's just right for her to take action. If anyone finds something wrong, they can just put the blame on her."
Fu Shan hesitated for a moment, "Will this be bad for Brother Lun?"
After all, if the Zhao family's reputation is ruined, Lunger is her son and will definitely be implicated.
The old marquis sneered, "Ms. Zhao clearly knew it was the daughter of the Liu family who poisoned her mother-in-law and eldest sister-in-law, but she concealed the truth for her own benefit! She is so vicious and cold-hearted. It's perfect for her to fight the daughter of the Liu family."
"As for Brother Lun, if his uncle never has a son, he will be adopted sooner or later. By then, he will be his uncle's adopted son. What relationship will he have with the Zhao family?"
Fu Shan swallowed his saliva and said, "But isn't the eldest young lady pregnant now? I heard there's an 80% chance it's a boy."
The old marquis remained calm and said, "If Hu Shi can give birth to a legitimate grandson, that would be perfect. If Hu Shi and Jian Ge'er still don't have a son, then Lun Ge'er will naturally take over."
"But, but if the eldest young lady gives birth to a boy, then Brother Lun..." Fu Shan didn't say the rest of the words.
The old marquis's voice was terrifyingly calm: "That means he doesn't have that fate! His biological father is a bastard. According to the rules, he will just be separated and become a side branch. The worst-case scenario is just that!"
Fu Shan has always known the old marquis's character, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but shudder.
He looked up at the old marquis's expressionless face, lowered his head and dared not speak anymore.
The old marquis had no habit of explaining things to a servant, so he simply said, "You need to send more people to keep an eye on the Liu family girl! Just keep an eye on her, don't interfere. Find out what her real motives are, so you can find out who's behind her."
"Yes!" Fu Shan accepted the order.
After thinking for a moment, he said cautiously, "There's one more thing. Besides my subordinates, there are several other groups of people who haven't given up yet and are investigating the poisoning of the Madam and the Young Mistress."
The old marquis said, "Whose people are they?"
Fu Shan said honestly, "There are the first wife's people, the eldest master's people, and the second and fourth masters' people."
In other words, none of the three branches of the Marquis' Mansion believed the result of that day and were secretly making small moves.
The old marquis was so angry that he laughed. Did they seem clever now? It was understandable that the eldest son's wife and the eldest grandson were investigating the matter. After all, they were victims. Why were the second and youngest grandsons joining in the fun?
"What have you found out?" asked the old marquis.
Fu Shan thought for a moment. "The first wife and the first master, one is investigating everyone in the mansion who has had contact with Li Rong's family, and the other is investigating the Zhao family. The second master is investigating the friends that the third master has made outside, but the fourth master——"
Speaking of this, Fu Shan showed a conflicted look.
The old marquis became interested, and the one who could make Fu Shan look like this must have caused him a lot of trouble compared to Fu Zhiyi.
"What did Brother Yi find out?"
Fu Shan said helplessly, "The Fourth Master seems to have found out about the Liu family girl. He is already investigating all the people she has come into contact with since she entered the mansion, and has even sent people to her father's family."
He was too embarrassed to say that several times, his men and Fu Zhiyi's men almost collided.
Even Fu Zhiyi's men found out before him.
Hey, this made him feel both proud and ashamed.
The old marquis was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing: "This child——"
He laughed halfway, then his expression darkened again. "This child is the smartest of the four brothers, and the one who looks most like me! If he had been born to the eldest brother, I wouldn't be so old, still holding on to the title and making the eldest brother so resentful of me."
"If Brother Yi was the eldest child, I would have happily abdicated and enjoyed my grandchildren. Why would I have to work so hard?"
Fu Shan's scalp tingled when he heard this, and he tried to persuade him, "Even though the eldest master doesn't understand the Marquis's good intentions now, he will understand in the future."
The old marquis sneered, "They say that only when you have children do you understand the kindness of your parents. If you really understood my good intentions, you would have understood them long ago! If you don't understand now, you probably won't understand in the future!"
Fu Shan had nothing to say and could only shut up.
The old marquis was silent for a moment, then sighed, "But to be honest, God has his own reasons for treating Yi Ge'er this way. If Yi Ge'er were healthy, with the influence of the Third Brother's family, he would have grown up and wanted to fight for it. I'm afraid the Marquis' Mansion would be in chaos."
"It's okay that he's injured—" The last two words were as light as a whisper and quickly disappeared into the air.
But Fu Shan was a very good person, so naturally he didn't miss it.
He twitched his ears and lowered his eyelids, pretending not to hear it.
The old marquis paused for a moment before continuing, "But that's precisely why he poses the least threat to Brother Jian. He can assist Brother Jian his entire life. With brothers working together, the foundation of this marquisate can continue for another two generations!"
After hearing this, Fu Shan's eyes flickered, and he lowered his head without saying anything.
The old marquis thought for a moment and said, "If they want to investigate, let them do it! I want to see if they can actually find anything! Just have someone keep an eye on them!"
Fu Shan quickly accepted the order: "Yes!"
After waiting for a while, Fu Shan quietly retreated when he saw that the old marquis had no more instructions.
Standing in the yard and looking back, Fu Shan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and couldn't help feeling a chill in his heart.
Fu Zhiyi naturally didn't know what the old marquis and Fu Shan were saying at this moment.
He and Lu Zhenzhen had already washed up and changed into casual clothes.
Taking advantage of the slight drunkenness that had not completely dissipated, Fu Zhiyi was pestering Lu Zhenzhen.
Because both of their hair was not completely dry yet, they couldn't go to bed.
They all leaned on the couch and chatted.
Fu Zhiyi rested his head on Lu Zhenzhen's thighs, put his arms around her waist, and tried to move his head towards Lu Zhenzhen's abdomen.
The warm breath hit Lu Zhenzhen's belly, making her feel uncomfortable and want to break free.
But Fu Zhiyi's hands firmly gripped her waist, and she couldn't break free after twisting for a long time.
She simply took revenge by ruffling Fu Zhiyi's hair into a mess.
