Chapter 116: The Marquis’s Wife Faking Her Death (20)

However, she never expected that after his "death", Lan Xin felt no guilt at all and brought him and his dowry back to the general's mansion.

Mu Ziyi was secretly resentful in his heart, but his face showed a heartbroken expression.

"I see……"

he muttered.

The old woman glanced at Mu Ziyi, then at Madam Hou. Seeing Madam Hou nod slightly, she continued, "Later, the old lady got better and sent people to the general's mansion to look for Madam, but they were all rejected."

After the old woman finished speaking, Mu Ziyi's face had become very ugly.

He originally thought that his plan was flawless, but he didn't expect Lan Xin to be so heartless. Not only did she leave the Marquis' Mansion, but she also took away all the property.

What should he do now? The Marquis's Mansion is already penniless. If he can't get Lan Xin's help, it will be difficult for the Marquis's Mansion to survive.

So what was the point of all he did?

Not only did he suffer a lot at the border, but it was obvious that his mother had also suffered a lot.

Mu Ziyi couldn't help but turn pale.

It felt like not only did nothing good come of what he did, but he also suffered a lot because of it.

What made him even more distressed was that most of the belongings he had taken out of the Marquis' Mansion that year were stolen by someone who appeared out of nowhere.

As for the remaining small half, there is little left after having pampered Qingqing and the children over the years.

If he only relies on the little military salary he gets as a deputy general, he is afraid that his family will not be able to live a prosperous life.

At this time, Lin Qingqing heard that Lan Xin had moved back to the general's mansion, and she couldn't help feeling happy. Lan Xin had already moved away, and as long as she was around, she would not let Lan Xin have the chance to move back.

However......

Looking at Mu Ziyi's expression, it was clear that he wanted to go to the General's Mansion to bring the person back. Lin Qingqing clenched her palms tightly. That bitch Lan Xin deserved to die. Only when she died would she not come to compete with her for the position of the wife of the Marquis' Mansion.

Thinking of this, Lin Qingqing's expression twisted a little, her hands clenched into fists, her nails digging into the flesh, but at this moment she seemed not to feel the pain.

The maid who served the old lady of the Marquisate personally saw the change in Mu Ziyi's expression and thought that since the Marquis had returned, there must be a way for the lady to bring her dowry back to the Marquisate, so she continued, "The Marquisate is really out of money now. If the lady were here..."

"However, now that the Marquis has returned, as long as the Marquis goes to the General's Mansion to pick her up, the lady will definitely come back with her dowry."

What the old woman said hit Mu Ziyi's mind exactly. As long as he opened the door himself, Lan Xin would definitely be happy to go back to the Marquis' Mansion with him.

As for how to make Lan Xin willingly use her dowry to support their Marquis' Mansion, they would figure it out when the time came.

............

East Palace.

"Your Highness, I discovered that among the soldiers returning to the capital this time, there is a deputy general who has the same name as the late Lord Mu, and he also looks quite similar."

The subordinate who was responsible for arranging the soldiers to return to Beijing came to report to Long Yichen, and by the way, told Long Yichen about the unusual things he had discovered.

This subordinate working in the Eastern Palace was from a noble family, so he had naturally met Mu Ziyi before, and he also knew that Mu Ziyi was the deceased husband of the current Crown Princess.

This matter involves His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so he naturally would not pretend to be ignorant of it.

"Mu Ziyi?" Long Yichen looked up at the subordinate in front of him in confusion.

"Yes, I did some research. After he left the military camp, he took his family back to the former Marquis Mu's Mansion."

That’s right, it was the former Marquis Mu’s Mansion. When the Marquis died without an heir, the title of Marquis was naturally taken back by the court.

In his previous life, Mu Ziyi was able to fake his death and come back to continue being the Marquis. That was because apart from the servants in the Marquis' Mansion, no one else knew about it.

Only the original silly girl would believe Madam Hou's excuse that it was shameful for her husband to die of drinking on his wedding night because he was so happy, and that the fewer people who knew about it, the better.
