Chu Lian, who was sitting in the carriage, opened her eyes slightly. Something suddenly flashed across her clear eyes.

The corners of her lips curled up in a mocking smile. She said softly, "Is it coming?"

He Changdi was already in a bad mood and had a gloomy expression on his face. When he suddenly heard the panicked report from his family's guard, his expression turned even uglier.

"What is it?"

Lai Yue, who was at the side, also signaled the guard with his eyes. The guard could be considered to be somewhat perceptive. He tried his best to suppress his emotions, came to He Changdi's side and said, "Third Young Master, Miao … Miss Miaozhen's child can't be kept."

After saying that, the guard lowered his head and didn't dare to look at the Third Young Master's expression.

He Changdi felt a chill run down his spine. "What does it have to do with us?"

Facing such a Third Young Master, the guard's legs and stomach were trembling. He stammered, and finally, under the pressure of He Changdi's icy aura, he told the truth, "The … The doctor said that Miss Miaozhen miscarried because … because she ate the sweet mountain dregs sent by Third Mistress …"

Sweet mountain dregs?

He Changdi's deep phoenix eyes were filled with coldness. He only stared at the kneeling guard on the ground. Even his voice was icy. "Who invited the doctor?"

The guard didn't dare to hide anything from the Third Young Master like this. "It was the Crown Prince … The Crown Prince personally sent someone to invite the old doctor from Chongde Hall."

"Alright, I understand. You can go back now." He Changdi's magnetic voice didn't reveal any emotions.

The guard mustered his courage and looked at the Third Young Master. Then, he looked at the carriage that didn't even move. There were some things that he didn't dare to say.

He actually didn't believe that the usually kind Third Young Mistress would do such a thing. However, the doctor's testimony and the benefits involved made him believe that the murderer was really Third Young Mistress.

The guard couldn't help but tremble when he thought of Third Young Mistress's beautiful and lovable face, but her heart was like that of a poisonous woman.

Currently, the first branch of Count Jing 'an's estate didn't have an heir. After Miaozhen became pregnant for a few months, they invited a gynecologist to diagnose her. The doctor said that she was most likely pregnant with a boy. Although no one in the estate said anything, everyone in the estate knew that both Countess Jing' an and Matriarch were staring at Miaozhen's stomach like it was an eyeball.

Countess Jing 'an even personally took Miaozhen to her side to keep an eye on her because she was afraid that an accident might happen. However, God disposes. Miaozhen's belly was already as big as a ball, yet something actually went wrong and caused her to have a miscarriage!

The first branch's male child was gone. If Third Young Madam got pregnant, she would be the first young master of Count Jing 'an's estate.

What a good scheme!

Lai Yue knew that Third Young Mistress had given Countess Jing 'an sugar dregs yesterday, so he hurriedly said, "Third Young Master, this definitely wasn't done by Third Young Mistress. There must be a reason behind this."

He Changdi turned his head and glanced at the anxious Lai Yue. He didn't say anything and only called for his men to hurry back to the estate.

Lai Yue couldn't tell what his master was thinking, but he knew that Third Young Mistress and Third Young Master seemed to be in a fit of pique. Now that this matter had suddenly popped up, his master wouldn't be muddle-headed and think that it was Third Young Mistress who did this, right?

Word spread from mouth to mouth. Not long after, even Xiyan, who was sitting in the carriage at the back, knew about this matter.

Her face instantly paled. She remembered what Chu Lian had said when she was treating the princess and princess to desserts. Xiyan clenched her fists tightly as she thought about who was trying to harm Third Young Mistress!

The young couple quickly entered Count Jing 'an's estate.

Behind the screen wall, the carriage stopped. He Changdi dismounted from his horse and walked two steps to the side of the carriage.

He directly lifted the curtain of the carriage and immediately met Chu Lian's slightly startled gaze.

Because it was already dark and they were behind the screen wall, the side of the carriage was blocked by He Changdi's tall figure, so no one could see what was going on inside the carriage.

Chu Lian was stunned when she met his deep gaze. She didn't know why, but her mood suddenly improved.

"Do you really think that I didn't do it?"

He Changdi shook his head, and the coldness on his face melted a little. He gently helped Chu Lian fix the stray hair at her temples.

"Why?

Do you really trust me that much? "

Chu Lian was curious. Normally, people would think that she was the culprit. Moreover, they had just been in a cold war.

He Sanlang suddenly leaned forward and planted a light kiss on her lips. His voice also became gentle. "My Lian 'er isn't that stupid."

To be honest, Chu Lian was very satisfied when she heard this. It proved that her husband wasn't stupid and that she still had a place in his heart. Her efforts weren't in vain.

Chu Lian smiled slyly, but she didn't tell He Changdi her trump card right now. Her test for He Sanlang had just begun.

He Changdi's expression suddenly became serious. "Lian 'er, I want you to put on a show with me."

Now that the enemy was in the dark and they were out in the open, they had to put on a show and let those people jump out themselves!

When Xiyan got out of the carriage, she saw the Third Young Master standing by the side of the carriage with a cold expression on his face as he left. The more he looked at her, the more bitter he became.

Xiyan stared at the Third Young Master's straight back, but her heart was cold. Could it be that the Third Young Master didn't trust their Third Young Mistress?

Xiyan's face instantly paled when she thought of this. By the time she reacted, Chu Lian had opened the curtains and was about to get out of the carriage.

She hurriedly blinked and resisted the sourness in her eyes. She went up to help Chu Lian.

When she walked under the dim light of the lantern, Xiyan could clearly see that her mistress's face was pale and haggard. Her originally palm-sized face looked even smaller and more delicate because of her tightly knitted brows and pale complexion.

Xiyan's heart ached. She had never seen the carefree Third Young Mistress in such a state. She couldn't help but tear up. This situation was very similar to when they were at the British Duke's Estate.

Afraid that her emotions would affect Chu Lian, she hurriedly comforted her in a low voice, "Third Young Mistress, hurry and cheer up. Didn't you say?

The sweet mountain dregs you made weren't made from hawthorns. "

Chu Lian smiled weakly at Xiyan.

If she wasn't supporting Chu Lian, Xiyan would have covered her mouth and cried.

Although she knew that this matter had nothing to do with Third Young Mistress, it didn't matter if the Third Young Master didn't believe her. In the end, Third Young Mistress would still be the one to suffer!

Although Chu Lian's body was weak and her complexion wasn't good, she still rushed to Countess Jing 'an's courtyard immediately.

At this time, the courtyard was brightly lit. The reception pavilion was filled with people. Even Madam Zou, who had been grounded for many days, was present.

Countess Jing 'an and the Matriarch sat at the head of the table. Next to the Matriarch were He Ying and her mother. As for Madam Zou, she sat next to Countess Jing' an.

Her eldest brother, He Changqi, was standing to the side and talking to the old physician. Miracle Doctor Miao had placed his medicine box to the side and was sitting in the lower seat, calmly drinking tea.
