The reborn daughter seeks marriage

Chapter 208 Accidental Poisoning
She had no appetite and didn't want to stay in Fengyuan, so she simply stayed in the hall, hoping to see their return as soon as possible.From morning to afternoon, and from afternoon to night, until the night was dark, candles were already lit outside, but there was still no movement.The torment and despair of waiting made her restless.I can only keep praying to God, bless the Hou Mansion to escape this catastrophe, and be safe and sound.

Liang Yu persuaded her many times, but Chu Wu refused to go back and lie down on the bed to rest. After worrying all day, Chu Wu was a pregnant woman after all, and she felt drowsy when she sat on the stool.I don't know how long it took, but the boy's surprised voice sounded at the door.

"My lord, Madam and Miss are back!"

Are you finally back?Chu Wu opened her eyes abruptly, and she saw those familiar figures.Immediately got up to meet them, seeing their gloomy faces, even though Chu Wu was very worried, she didn't dare to ask what the situation was like.She wanted to know what had happened, but was also afraid to know.

It was Mrs. Mu who saw her anxiety, patted her hand lightly, and comforted her: "Don't worry, it's fine."

With that said, he sighed deeply again.

"Dali Temple, the sentence has already been handed down. Dad is fine, but he will serve three years in prison." He spoke softly, but Mu Qifeng's face did not show the joy of the rest of his life.For the serious crime of homicide, compared to execution, just staying in the cell of Dali Temple for three years is indeed a very easy punishment.But Chu Wu knew that things were certain, and it was far more than that.

"It's getting late, everyone has been tired all day, let's go to rest first." Mrs. Mu said wearily, shook her head, and left with Mu Qiyue's support.Chu Wu looked at Mu Qifeng worriedly, he stepped forward, took her hand, and walked slowly towards Fengyuan.

Instructing the maid to prepare hot water, Chu Wu confidently wiped his body to relieve his fatigue.After taking a bath, Mu Qifeng hugged her, and the two of them lay on the bed.After a while, he opened his mouth slowly.

"From tomorrow onwards, I will no longer be the prince."

It turned out that, for this incident, although many people were painstakingly invited to intercede, Prince Qingyang, Concubine Li in the palace, and the evidence provided by Mu Qifeng and the prison doctor.Although it was confirmed that Mu Zhengtian lost his mind due to taking drugs by mistake, it could not cover up the fact that he killed people.After many compromises, and under the great mediation of Prince Qingyang, the Hubu Shangshu finally let go. Mu Zhengtian only needs to serve three years in prison, but the title of Zhenyuan Houfu will be deprived.

In other words, the future of the entire Hou Mansion was used in exchange for Mu Zhengtian's life.

"His Majesty gave me an amnesty and allowed us to take down the plaque at the door after we finished the funeral of our grandfather."

Mu Qifeng's voice was full of pain and helplessness. Chuwu knew that what he cared about was not the title of the Marquis, but the foundation that the old Marquis had built all his life, which was ruined like this.

"Wu'er, will you despise me?" He raised his head and looked at her deeply, his eyes were complicated like never before.Once the grandfather died, without the title of the Marquis Mansion, he was just a small fifth-rank official, let alone having any status and privileges.

"You are my husband, the man I love the most. I don't care about anything else." Chu Wu hugged him, and took the initiative to press a kiss on Mu Qifeng's lips, her eyes full of tenderness. Firm, yet so affectionate.

"If you have a wife like this, what more can you ask for! Wu'er, I love you too! In this life, I only love you!"

Mu Qifeng finally showed a smiling face, even if he loses everything, he can start all over again.As long as the most important person is still by your side, what else do you care about?

"And our baby!"

Gently stroking Chuwu's belly, Mu Qifeng's eyes were extraordinarily gentle.

Fortunately, nowadays, some rules of keeping filial piety have been changed. In the previous dynasty, if there was a funeral in the family, the children had to observe filial piety for three years. During these three years, they were not allowed to be officials, have intercourse, or become pregnant.Women who are already pregnant during the mourning period even have to have an abortion.Just because these rules were too cruel, they were abolished after His Majesty ascended the throne.It's just that the time for keeping filial piety has been changed to three months, and after three months, you can do other things.In the case of Mu Qifeng, as long as three months after the mourning period, he can still continue to go to court.Think of it as a three-month vacation.

Fortunately, the mansion of the Hou Mansion and the other fields and shops used for income were all earned by himself, but from now on, this will not be the Zhenyuan Hou Mansion, but the Mu Mansion.In any case, this situation is already the best ending.When the verdict from the Ministry of Criminal Justice came down, Mu Qifeng began to prepare for the funeral of Lord Hou.

Except for everyone in the Mu family, almost none of the ministers who had made friends with each other before showed up.Mo Xuan, who is an in-law, was naturally there, Chu Wu's grandfather Qiu Zeshi was also there, grandmother, and eldest aunt, when seeing them, Chu Wu felt a pang in his heart.At least, there are still these relatives who are willing to pay tribute to that respectable old Hou Ye.Even if he dies, he is still a well-deserved Lord Zhenyuan!

Prince Qingyang also came, as well as some close friends of the Mu family. The funeral was not very grand, but the whole scene seemed extraordinarily sad.Mrs. Mu cried and passed out twice. As the son of the old Hou Ye, Mu Zhengtian was in prison and could not participate.

Also ineligible to participate.

"Pray for the wind, mourn for the change!"

Su Huaijin took a deep look at Mu Qifeng, and her eyes fell on Chu Wu who was on the side intentionally or unintentionally. Seeing her protruding belly, her eyes dimmed slightly.There was a deep sense of guilt in his eyes, and he said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, I got you into trouble."

His voice was very soft, barely audible, and Mu Qifeng shook his head slightly, but didn't say anything.Things have already happened, what's more, if it wasn't for his help, the situation in Hou Mansion would be even worse.Perhaps, this is also the doomed doom of the Hou Mansion!

Time passed unknowingly, and finally at night, the guests all dispersed, everyone in the house packed up everything, had dinner hastily, and prepared to guard the spirit of the old Hou Ye.Chu Wu has been feeling uncomfortable ever since she ate the dinner specially prepared for her, but under this situation, no matter how uncomfortable she is, she must endure it.

The male family members and the female family members were not together. Next to Chuwu were Mrs. Mu and Mu Qiyue, but everyone was immersed in grief, and no one noticed her abnormality.The smell of burnt paper from incense candles made Chu Wu's mind a little confused.With a plop, she suddenly fell to the ground and gradually lost consciousness.

When she woke up again, it was already bright outside, and she opened her eyes in a daze, only to find that Mu Qifeng was looking at her worriedly.When he found that she was awake, a relieved smile finally appeared on his face. Behind him were Mrs. Mu and Mu Qiyue who also looked anxious.

"Great, finally woke up!"

"What's wrong with me?" Chu Wu asked softly, remembering that she seemed to have fainted like that last night, and she didn't even keep vigil for the old Hou Ye, she felt a burst of guilt in her heart.

"Good boy, don't get up, lie down first, are you hungry? Would you like something to eat?" Mrs. Mu walked over, spoke softly, and did not answer Chu Wu's words.

"Okay." She nodded, she was really hungry.

After breakfast, she continued to speak: "Yesterday, I couldn't keep watch for my grandfather. I feel really guilty in my heart. Mother, what happened to me?"

"Ah!" Sighing deeply, Mrs. Mu looked at her with pity, with a hint of hatred in her eyes.

"Silly boy, you have been poisoned. Fortunately, the toxicity is not high. If you discover it in time, there will be no serious problem."

"what?"

Looking at her in disbelief, Chu Wu touched her belly in horror, and she let out a soft breath because the baby was still there.Her diet was specially arranged by Mrs. Mu, and they were all trusted people. How could she be poisoned?What is going on here?
"Those meals will not cause any harm if eaten alone, but if they are mixed with this aroma, they will form a toxin that can cause pregnant women to have a miscarriage unknowingly." Mu Qifeng said in a deep voice, the expression on his face His expression was particularly gloomy.Chu Wu raised her head and looked at what Mrs. Mu was pointing at. It was an ordinary dress.It seems that Yu'er often wears it on her body.But what does this have to do with aroma?
