    Zhou Mao pushed her away, and sat back with the desk, shaking his hands to hold the tea cup, but because his hands were shaking too much, he couldn't hold it.

    Seeing this, Mrs Wen hurriedly came to help him. Unexpectedly, in a rush, he accidentally knocked over the pen shelf and swept down the neatly placed books on the desk. The desk suddenly became messy.

    "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, it's all my fault..." While apologizing, Wen shi bent down to pick up the book on the ground, picked it up, and a tear fell on the book , Immediately, the tears became more and more, and soon the writing was wet.

    "I'm really useless, I can't even pack things well, it's really useless..." She cried in reproach, another book fell from the book she was holding in her arms, and her tears grew more and more.

    The crying sounded like a needle pierced directly into Zhou Mao's heart, his eyes were flushed red, and before he knew it, there were tears in his eyes.

    With trembling hands, he pulled his wife who was squatting on the ground, Wen shi hugged his hand and buried his face in his palm, tears streaming down wantonly.

    "I'm sorry, it's all useless to me. It's my fault that I didn't raise our daughter well, and I didn't teach her the responsibility of being a child and a wife..."

    Zhou Mao said with a trembling voice: "How could it be only you who is wrong, we are all wrong, we are all wrong..."

    Wen Shi couldn't help throwing himself into his arms and wept bitterly.

    It was not until the lighting time that Zhou Chang came back exhausted.

    He didn't understand what happened to his father. He had been planning so hard for so long, and things had gone so smoothly. Provoking the relationship between the Crown Princess and the British government would not be long before it happened, and Wei Chenglin was about to walk into their establishment. A good trap, at such a critical juncture, my father had to give up!

    He sighed and rubbed his forehead with a headache, feeling that everything he had done recently was a waste of effort.

    Zhou Mao had also been waiting for him, and when he saw him coming back, he asked what he ordered him to do.

    Zhou Chang replied: "It's all put on hold. No one dares to move without his father's intention."

    "Not to put you on hold, but to end it completely."

    Zhou Mao emphasized.

    "But, father, why? We spent so much energy, isn't it a pity to just give up?" Zhou Chang was unwilling.

    Zhou Mao smiled bitterly, and for a moment, suppressing the sadness in his heart, he told him what he heard from the waterside of Prince Ping's mansion.

    At the end, he added: "If Murongtao is wrong by six points in this matter, but your sister is also wrong by four points, how can we have any face to push all the mistakes on Murongtao."

    "Now that the big mistake has been made, and the father has already carried this blood debt... Wei Chenglin, let's go!"

    Zhou Chang's feelings are also quite complicated. He never dreamed that his always docile sister would actually do such a bold thing.

    He was speechless for a long time, what else could he say? If the younger sister did it on purpose, then the kidnapping would be nothing but nonsense, probably because the younger sister asked Murong Tao to take her to find Wei Chenglin, and that's how she acted.

    The father and son were relatively silent for a long time.

    After a while, Zhou Chang said in a low voice, "Father, the boy just found out that the Crown Princess's medicine has already been replaced by a contraceptive pill, and our people have not succeeded in changing it."

    Zhou Mao's expression changed, and then he muttered: "Is it changed? It's fine to change it, it's fine to change it..."

    "Father, what do you think is going on? Logically, if the Crown Princess got that recipe, she shouldn't..."

    Zhou Mao forced a smile that was uglier than crying: "What does this mean? It means that our plan fell through early in the morning."

    Zhou Chang's complexion also changed, and he heard his father sigh again: "The only thing to be thankful for is that we didn't plan to touch the child in the princess' belly, otherwise..."

    Otherwise, my father would not say anything, and he knew the consequences.

    Murdering the emperor's heir is a capital crime, and no one can save him.

    However, Wei Junhang also quickly found out that something was different, and sat on the head with a frown, listening to the reports of his subordinates.

    "My subordinates have checked carefully, and that day someone wanted to steal the crown princess' medicine, but somehow gave up. The subordinates followed him secretly, got the other party's medicine residue and asked the imperial doctor to check, and found that it was just The usual contraceptive pills prescribed by the imperial physicians in the palace are not poisonous."

    "Maybe the subordinates thought wrong. That person gave up changing the medicine in the middle. Could it be that he found out that what the princess was taking was only the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor?"

    Wei Junhang's brows furrowed even tighter, and he also felt that it was very strange. He actually felt reasonable about his subordinate's speculation.

    However, who is in such a big circle, and what is the purpose?

    He was puzzled, but suddenly another subordinate walked in, leaned over to him and said a few words in a low voice.

    "It's also strange. I don't know why at the most critical time, that person didn't do anything. Could it be because of repentance?"

    Wei Junhang felt relieved.

    But the next moment, his face became solemn.

    Two equally strange things made him feel uneasy no matter how he thought about it, and he always felt that he had neglected some places.

    He boldly hypothesized what would have happened if two events had followed their original trajectories.

    First of all, the most obvious is the eldest son. He will suffer a 'serious accident' during the exercise with General Xia.

    The second is the contraceptive pill of the princess. If the person really changed the medicine and the Crown Princess took the abortion pill prescribed by the imperial doctor, it seemed that it would not have any adverse effect on her fetus. Does that mean that the other party is not trying to deal with the Crown Princess. And the child in her womb?

    Somehow, the words that Shen Xinyan had analyzed the 'secret recipe for childbirth' for him that day echoed in his mind again, he was shocked and suddenly had an idea.

    Like a ghost, he thought of Murong Tao who lost his legs in an 'accident', and then he thought about the accident that the eldest son would have happened, but didn't happen, and finally had a guess.

    If everything he guessed came true... Before he knew it, an undisguised anger condensed on his face.

    It just doesn't make sense!

    He slapped the book case heavily, and the brush on the pen holder made a soft knocking sound.

    The next day, Zhou Mao had just left Honglu Temple and was about to get on the sedan chair to return to the house when he heard someone calling him from behind.

    "Master Zhou!"

    He turned around and saw that it was the British Duke Wei Junhang, his eyes flickered slightly, but he quickly covered it up.

    "Grandpa!"

    "I have a few words to tell the adults, why don't I find a quiet place?" Wei Junhang said clearly, his tone sounded as if asking for his opinion, but the expression on his face clearly said 'I don't want to go. Go' a few words.

    Zhou Mao didn't know if he knew anything, but he wouldn't be timid. Hearing that, he replied lightly: "If that's the case, then let's go. The lower official remembers that there is a restaurant with a very good environment not far away. If you don't dislike it, then let's gather there!"

    "Master Zhou arranged it." Wei Junhang knew that he was just thinking about taking the initiative, and he didn't want to worry about it with him, so he nodded in response.

    The two got into the sedan chairs, and soon arrived at the restaurant Zhou Mao pointed out.

    They found a quite quiet box on the second floor, and the two sat opposite each other, with each other's entourage retreating to the door to guard, so as not to be disturbed by people who do not have long eyes.

    "It doesn't matter if Grandpa Guo has something to say." Zhou Mao took a deep breath, poured himself a glass of wine, and pretended to be calm.

    Wei Junhang was also reluctant to go around in circles with him, and straight to the point: "The dog almost suffered an accident earlier.

    Zhou Mao's eyelids twitched: "Your Highness, Hongfu Qitian, congratulations."

    "It's not the dog's luck, it's Lord Zhou's mercy! Come on, I'll give you a cup, thank you for your generosity, and forgive the dog's life!" Wei Junhang seemed to laugh as he refilled the wine for him and poured himself another glass. He picked up the wine glass, made a clinking motion towards him, and drank his head up.

    Zhou Mao's face was stern, and he couldn't see the slightest expression, as if what he said had nothing to do with him.

    Wei Junhang didn't care either, and said with a sneer, "With Lord Zhou's protection, he broke General Murong's legs so mercilessly that day, and now he would let go of the 'culprit', which is really surprising! "

    The more he talked, the more annoyed he became, and he gritted his teeth and said, "It's just, Lord Zhou, are you going too far?! The entanglements between Ling Qianjin, Inuzi and General Murong are all wrong. Little General Murong? Ling Qianjin is really pure and innocent without the slightest fault?!"

    "Even if it's wrong, Little General Murong can be regarded as an adult who grew up watching him. He has taken care of Ling Qianjin a lot since he was a child. Even if his behavior is wrong, he is also sincere to Ling Qianjin. The future is ruined!"

    "That time, did the lord want to break the dog's leg too, or destroy his hands? Or just take his life?!"

    Zhou Mao's face was bloodless after his repeated words, and he could no longer maintain his composure. His lips trembled, as if he wanted to say something to refute, but Wei Junhang didn't give him this chance at all.

    "But at a critical juncture, why did the lord stop? Let me guess, I think that the reason for the lord's resentment is untenable, and it is rare to start to feel uneasy."

    Zhou Mao was stabbed at the center by him, his face was a bit ugly, and a trace of remorse flashed in his eyes.

    "What are you regretting? What are you regretting? The big mistake has been made. What do you give to the little General Murong who ruined his life by you?"

    "You ruined the most beloved child of others because of your beloved daughter! What are you regretting?! How dare you go to Zhenbei Hou's Mansion to apologize in person?! Admit that General Murong's leg was destroyed by your design! "

    "No, you don't dare, you are afraid of facing the anger and crazy revenge of Zhenbei Hou's mansion. Your regret now is not regretting your cruelty towards Little General Murong, but your inability to face your innocent daughter who you think is pure and innocent. It's not innocent!"

    "What you don't dare to face is your own incompetence! You are so incompetent that you can't even tell the most basic right from wrong. It's not wrong to protect your shortcomings, but you can only blame others for your shortcomings, but you never think about your own faults. Then It was a big mistake!"

    "Zhou Mao, your father, you have failed more than me! But you don't even dare to admit your failure, but you hide it with ridiculous remorse!"
