Chapter 21 Top-quality Dongzhu

At this time, Su Yueyan was the only one who had not left Wutong Courtyard.

She sat aside, lowered her head, hid her eyes in the shadows, and looked lonely.

When she realized that the Marquis was looking at her, she raised her head with tears in her eyes and looked at the Marquis.

"Since my sister came, mother doesn't seem to love Yan'er anymore." She said faintly.

Looking at her face that looked like Aunt Rou, Mu Wanqing felt indescribably complicated.

And today she knew that she had framed Su Yuexi again and again.

She just felt tired.

Is it really that other people's children are hard to raise?

Or is it that this child has inherited Song Rou'er's temperament at the root?

No matter how confused she is, she will not let Su Yueyan bully Su Yuexi.

If Su Yueyan keeps making trouble like this, her feelings for Su Yueyan will be exhausted sooner or later.

She sighed secretly and forced a smile: "Yan'er is too worried. Your sister is new to the Marquis' Mansion, and mother should take good care of her."

"Mother Su Yueyan stood up and approached Mu Wanqing, grabbing her arm as she usually did when she was acting coquettish.

But Mu Wanqing didn't know why, but she felt a little strange in her heart.

She almost couldn't help but slap Su Yueyan's hand away.

"Yan'er knows that she is not her mother's daughter, so Yan'er asks to go back to the farmhouse and ask mother to fulfill Yan'er's wish. "

Mu Wanqing felt a little cold when she heard Su Yueyan's words.

If it was really as Xi'er said, the Marquis' Mansion would be confiscated and exiled within ten days.

Then Yan'er did this because she really wanted to keep herself out of trouble!

It turned out that she was really reborn!

She had known for a long time that the Marquis' Mansion would be confiscated and exiled!

Otherwise, how could she, a spoiled young lady of the Marquis' Mansion, give up the rich life of the Marquis' Mansion and be willing to be a poor peasant girl?

Yan'er had been living a life of luxury since she was a child, and everyone treated her well.

But she didn't expect that something would happen in the Marquis' Mansion, and she didn't even want to remind them, and only cared about escaping alone.

She really seemed to have never known this daughter.

Mu Wanqing couldn't help but doubt herself. Where did she get the idea that Yan'er was so kind?

Could it be that Yan'er was just pretending to be nice?

If a girl could be so scheming and deceive her, Mu Wanqing, then she really lived up to the saying of stupidity!

She couldn't help but think of the first sentence Su Yuexi said when she saw her, "Mother was born beautiful, but she is really stupid."

At this moment, she couldn't help but feel that she was probably really stupid.

Mu Wanqing looked at this somewhat unfamiliar daughter. Her eyes gradually became cold.

She pretended to be tired and supported her forehead, saying, "Don't say stupid things. Mother is a little tired, you should go back to Mo Yaxuan first. "

Su Yueyan had no choice. She knew that everything should be done in moderation. It was not good to force it. She could only take it slowly.

She had to bow reluctantly and left with her maid.

After seeing Su Yueyan leave, Mu Wanqing waved and called a little maid over. She asked, "How is the matter going?"

"Madam, I have told the housekeeper to transfer the little maid named Cui Liu from Tingfeng Court to the rough servants' courtyard."

"Well, not bad." Mu Wanqing rubbed her eyebrows and said, "Go and send the box of top-quality Dongzhu prepared by Xuetao to Tingfeng Court for the third lady."

"You will stay there and serve. If you serve the third lady well, this lady will naturally not treat you badly."

"Yes, madam. It is my blessing to be able to serve the third lady. "The little maid said flatteringly.

She bowed and left the hall to find the head maid Xue Tao.

Before it got dark, Xue Ying took Su Yue Xi for a walk in the garden.

After returning to Ting Feng Courtyard, she saw a little maid holding a box of pearls and asking for an audience.

"I greet the young lady. These are the top-quality oriental pearls that Madam prepared for the young lady. There are 200 in total. "

The maid brought the box to Su Yuexi.

Su Yuexi sat on the chair and asked her to put the box on the coffee table.

She opened the box and saw that it was covered with black velvet and covered with large, round pearls.

Each of them was the size of a thumb and of equal size. From different angles, they could be seen emitting soft colorful halos.

The legendary top-grade Dongzhu was said to be priceless, and it was the first time she saw it.

She was even reluctant to touch it with her hands.

You have to wear gloves to touch this kind of thing, right?

[Wow, mother is so nice!]

[Such a Who can not love my mother! 】

At this time, she saw that there was an inner pocket on the lid of the box, and half a piece of paper was exposed inside.

She pulled it out and saw that it was written on it: Verified: 200 pieces of top-grade Dongzhu. The weight was also written on the back, and the seal of the Marquis' Mansion was stamped.

[Not bad, quite formal~]

She nodded. This should be to prevent servants from stealing in the mansion.

Small items like this are the easiest to be stolen. Just put one anywhere and it will be taken away.

Su Yuexi had admired the pearls enough, so the head maid Xueying put them away.

Xueying put the pearl box and the gold and silver barley box in the dressing box in Su Yuexi's bedroom.

That dressing box is equivalent to a modern dressing table, with more drawers and cabinets.

Su Yuexi looked at the box of pearls reluctantly as they left her.

[What's the matter? I can take it out and look at it secretly at night~]

Chapter 22 Arrangement

Su Yuexi was thinking.

Found that the little maid who had just presented the pearls had not left.

Seeing her gaze, the little maid bowed again and said to Su Yuexi:

"Madam ordered me to stay here and serve the young lady."

"Oh? What's your name?" Su Yuexi said to the little maid in front of her.

"I was originally a second-class maid in Wutong Courtyard, named Cuishan. Now I am with the young lady, please give me a name."

Su Yuexi had no choice but to ask Xiang Xueying, "Sister Xueying, how should this maid be named?"

Xueying replied, "Miss, the young masters in our mansion are surrounded by two personal maids and four second-class maids."

"The second-class maids are named randomly by the mansion, and the personal maids are named by the master."

"Miss, you can give them names according to your own preferences."

Su Yuexi nodded. Since she was going to be her personal maid, she had to give her a nice name.

Thinking of this, she did not forget to praise, "Sister Xueying, your name is very nice."

Xueying said, "My name was given by Madam. Madam always gives good names."

Su Yuexi smiled.

She thought that this was Tingfeng Courtyard, and she could see a clump of green bamboo when she entered the yard.

"Why not call me Tingzhu?" Su Yuexi said.

Xueying was a little surprised. She didn't expect that the young master who came back from the countryside would give her such an elegant and nice name.

The maid showed surprise in her eyes. She seemed to like the name very much. She bowed and said, "Thank you for the name, Tingzhu!"

"No need to be polite." Su Yuexi said.

At this time, a maid outside brought a bowl of hawthorn and sour plum soup for digestion. The maid took it and brought it into the house.

"Miss, this is the digestion soup that the lady ordered the kitchen to prepare for you."

Su Yuexi looked at the bowl of soup and couldn't help but say to 007 in her heart:

[Is this soup safe? Could it be that Su Yueyan wants to kill me with medicine? ]

"Host, there is no problem with this soup. You can drink it with confidence." 007 replied.

Su Yuexi drank it with confidence. It was sour and sweet and tasted good.

On the first day, she moved into the Marquis' Mansion smoothly.

At night, Su Yuexi changed her clothes and washed up with the help of her maids, ready to go to bed.

When all the lights were turned off, Su Yuexi got up again.

She was a short-sighted person, and she couldn't help but want to take a look at the gold, silver, and pearls in her dressing box.

But she didn't expect that there was a maid guarding the night outside the door.

As soon as she got off the ground, there was a sound.

The maid guarding the night asked her in a low voice outside the door, "Miss, do you want to go to the toilet?"

Su Yuexi was very depressed.

She had to wave her hand and said no.

Hehe, how could she forget that she could take things from a distance.

Su Yuexi moved her mind, and the three boxes in the dressing box, including the five hundred taels of silver notes, were all put into the space.

She fell asleep contentedly.

And in Wutong Courtyard, Lord Su didn't come back until late at night.

"What's the matter?" Mu Wanqing asked in a low voice.

She had already gone to bed, and the lights were turned on again.

She was wearing an outer coat and sitting on the edge of the couch.

After changing his clothes, Lord Su came over and sat on her side.

At this time, there were only the couple in the room.

Lord Su replied in a low voice: "Time is too tight, I have tried my best to make arrangements."

"At the border and customs, I have sent secret letters to Peng'er and father-in-law respectively. Let them be on guard early."

"And secretly sent some people to secretly transport silver and food to the outside of the customs."

"As for the route of exile, arrangements have also been made. This matter should be safe."

Peng'er is Su Yuefei, the eldest son of Lord Su and Mu Wanqing, and his courtesy name is Pengcheng.

He is the eldest son of Su Wuhou Mansion, known as Su Xiaohouye, and is stationed at the southwest border at this time.

Lord Su's father-in-law, Mu Wanqing's biological father, the current first-rank general Mu Jianzhong, is old but still stationed at the Eastern Customs.

Mu Wanqing felt relieved after hearing this.

The Lord has always done things properly, so she doesn't need to worry too much.

But she still has one thing on her mind, and she can't help but say, "But I heard from Xi'er that before exile, you will be crippled of your martial arts and have your scapula pierced. Is this really the way to go?"

"If we sneak out of the capital in advance..."

Lord Su shook his head after hearing this.

"We, the Su family, hold a large number of troops at the border. Our family is a hostage of the Su family army in the capital."

"Not only do I need to report for duty every day, but even leaving the capital requires approval from the cabinet. Do you think the emperor will let our family escape? Our every move is under surveillance."

"If we are found to have escaped from the capital, the nine clans of the Su family will be surrounded and suppressed by the imperial guards in less than half a day. It will be difficult to escape even if we have wings."

"It would be better to take advantage of the new emperor's ascension to the throne, thinking that everything is under control, and carelessly exile our family. If I can get my family safe at the cost of my injury, it is worth it."

"This trip is like a bird flying freely in the sky. We have money, food and soldiers outside the border. Are we still afraid that we will not have a place to stand in this chaotic world?"

Lord Su said with some longing.

He was also a little tired of this court full of intrigues.

He was born as the son of a marquis, and as a marquis, he has his own mission.

But if he could be free, it would be nice to be a free local emperor in a remote place.

It seems that it is the fate that a military general can never escape: the cunning rabbit dies and the running dog is cooked.

So the Su family has made arrangements since their ancestors and secretly hidden several treasure locations.

They also trained loyal secret guards and a part of the private army.

After several generations, it has already reached a certain scale.

The Su family has no intention of rebelling.

But if the emperor is unkind and uses the Su family as a target, then the backhand left by the Su family must be used.

"But..." Mu Wanqing's eyes were a little red.

"Madam, there is no need to say more. I have made up my mind." Lord Su stopped her words.

"It's just some physical pain. At my age, if I lose my martial arts, I lose my martial arts. I already have a promising eldest son and second son, so my life is not in vain."

Mu Wanqing listened and lowered her head to wipe away tears.

[

Chapter 23 It is impossible to reprimand

Early in the morning of the second day, Su Yuexi woke up from the bed.

She sat up, and the maid outside heard the noise inside and knew that she had gotten up, so she asked:

"Did the young lady get up?"

"Yes, she did." Su Yuexi replied.

So Xueying and Tingzhu brought four little maids in to help her wash and dress.

Xueying also told Su Yuexi that she would go to Wutong Courtyard to pay respects in a while.

Su Yuexi nodded.

At the same time, she felt a little guilty.

She put the money she got yesterday into the space, so that she could run away at any time.

She had made up her mind, and she would run away in the next two days.

But she was worried that these things would disappear from the dressing box and would be discovered by Xueying.

She could only secretly pray that Xueying would find these things later.

If these things were really discovered to be missing before she left the house, she would find an excuse at that time.

Anyway, she was the master, so it shouldn't be a big problem, right?

Su Yuexi didn't know that the Marquis's wife had secretly sent someone to tell Xueying.

No matter what abnormality Su Yuexi found, she didn't need to make a fuss, just report it quietly.

Therefore, even if Xueying found something missing, she would just pretend not to see it.

When Su Yuexi went to Wutong Courtyard to pay her respects, Su Yueyan also came with her maid.

The two met at the door.

"Good sister." Su Yueyan's eyes flashed a trace of displeasure. But she still smiled and called Su Yuexi.

She pretended to be intimate and wanted to go forward and hold Su Yuexi's hand.

Su Yuexi took a step back and pretended to be very socially anxious.

She lowered her head and pinched her skirt with her hands uncomfortably.

Seeing this, Su Yueyan's eyes instantly filled with tears.

She asked aggrievedly: "Sister, do you think that I am not the blood of the Marquis's Mansion, so you look down on me?"

Faced with Su Yueyan's questioning, Su Yuexi kept silent.

Just like a quail, he lowered his head to look at his feet.

He kept complaining in his heart.

[If you want to act, act. Who can act better than you! ]

[You are so dramatic~ Lululu! ]

[Or should I just run away today? ]

"Yes, my sister is the orthodox bloodline of the Marquis's Mansion. I am not worthy of it..." Su Yueyan's tears fell.

This scene happened to be seen by Xue Bi who came over.

She was one of the four maids who were close to the Marquis's wife.

"My two ladies, the lady asked me to come here to ask what's going on." Xue Bi bowed and asked.

It turned out that Mu Wanqing saw the scene at the door from outside the hall of Wutong Courtyard.

She saw the two standing here and not going in, so she sent the maid to come over to ask.

"Nothing, thank you sister Xue Bi for your concern."

Su Yueyan wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said with a forced smile. She looked aggrieved and forbearing.

Su Yuexi kept her head down and kept silent, tugging at her skirt with her hands.

At this moment, she resisted the urge to look up.

[Whose maid is called Xuebi? ]

She really wanted to know what Kang Kang looked like and whether she was wearing green.

"Second Miss, Third Miss, please." Xuebi was a maid, so she naturally wouldn't say anything about the scene in front of her.

She just bowed and welcomed the two girls into Wutong Courtyard.

When she entered the hall, Su Yueyan's eyes were still red.

"Meet father, mother." She bowed and greeted with a look of being wronged but forbearing.

"Meet father, mother." Su Yuexi also bowed and bowed.

Mu Wanqing saw Su Yueyan's abnormality, but didn't ask anything.

Su Yuexi glanced at Mu Wanqing in surprise.

[007, why didn't she ask? 】

[Shouldn't she ask Su Yueyan what kind of grievances she suffered, and then let Su Yueyan accuse me in a few words. 】

[This makes me look narrow-minded, relying on the fact that I am a biological child, and can't tolerate the daughter raised by the Hou Madam, so that the Hou Madam will dislike me]

[I am ready, why doesn't the plot start? 】

Su Yuexi didn't know that blood relatives could hear her voice.

And some banned words, such as system, 007, heroine, plot, etc., were beeped out by the system.

So what the Hou Madam heard was: "I am ready-why don't you start?"

Mu Wanqing raised her eyebrows.

What is this child ready for? Is she ready to listen to me scold her?

I won't scold her, no matter what.

I owe this child, I can't love her enough, how can I scold her for such a small matter?

She glanced at the side.

Sitting next to her was Lord Su, who had stayed at home on purpose to get to know her. Today was his day off, so he didn't have to go to court.

At this moment, he had a blank expression on his face.

"Okay, no need to be polite. Let's eat." Mu Wanqing had no choice but to say.

It seemed that she didn't notice Su Yueyan pretending to be wronged.

After taking her seat, Su Yuexi's attention was quickly attracted by the food on the table.

[Wow, crystal buns, and you can see big shrimps]

Chapter 24 The System is Playing Tricks

After hearing Su Yuexi's thoughts, Lord Su reached out to pick up a dish, and then pretended that the crystal bag was in the way, and naturally pushed the crystal bag near him towards Su Yuexi.

Seeing this, Mu Wanqing's mouth curled up imperceptibly.

She picked up a side dish of cold three-shredded vegetables for Lord Su, who loved face all his life.

She picked up another crystal bag for Su Yuexi.

After thinking about it, she picked up a bean curd for Su Yueyan, who loved it.

Su Yuexi showed off her meal in silence.

Seeing her, Lord Su nodded with satisfaction.

Children have to eat more to grow strong.

Seeing her daughter eating sweetly, Mu Wanqing inexplicably felt that her appetite had improved a bit.

Although Su Yueyan was unhappy that her mother ignored her, she couldn't do anything about it.

After breakfast.

Everyone moved to the front hall.

"Xi'er, did you sleep well yesterday?" Mu Wanqing asked with concern.

Su Yuexi nodded.

Mu Wanqing smiled and said, "You were tired from the journey yesterday and you are new to the mansion, so mother wants you to have a good rest."

"Today, mother invited people from the silver shop and the ready-made clothing shop to come to the mansion, and planned to buy you more clothes and head ornaments."

"Thank you, mother." Su Yuexi was overjoyed. Which girl doesn't like beautiful clothes and jewelry? Of course, the more the better.

Mu Wanqing nodded and said, "There are only a few maids and cleaning servants in the Tingfeng Courtyard where you live. Today, mother plans to add some more useful servants to your courtyard. Do you want to choose by yourself, or let mother help you choose?"

"Let mother choose." Su Yuexi said indifferently.

Anyway, she is ready to run away.

Suddenly she remembered something and said, "Can I ask my mother for someone?"

"Oh? Who is it?" Mu Wanqing was a little curious.

"It's Xu Pozi." Su Yuexi whispered.

Xu Pozi took her out from the Wang couple and took care of her very attentively along the way. She never looked down on her because she looked like a little beggar.

And in the original book. It was Xu Pozi who took the original owner Wang Xiaoxi into the Marquis' Mansion.

Xu Pozi was just a rough maid in Wutong Courtyard, with a low status.

In the original plot, because she secretly cared about Wang Xiaoxi, she was seen by the heroine Su Yueyan.

She was found a reason, beaten with a stick and sold out.

For a maid of this age, who was punished by the master's family, the ending can be imagined.

Su Yuexi wanted to take Xu Pozi to her own courtyard, and then ask for Xu Pozi's indenture from the Marquis's wife.

She would secretly return the contract to Xu Pozi before running away.

This should prevent Xu Pozi from being sold out by Su Yueyan.

Just think of it as repaying Xu Pozi for the favor of the original owner Wang Xiaoxi.

Mu Wanqing understood instantly.

It was Xu Pozi who brought Xier back from the farmhouse that was like a tiger and wolf's den, so it was normal for her to feel grateful.

She nodded in agreement.

This child knows how to remember a favor.

She also recruited a little maid, the one who secretly checked Zhenzhu last night.

"This is a little maid in my own courtyard, named Cuizhu, who is smart and proper. Let her go to your courtyard to be a big maid, and let Xueying help you take care of her, how about it?" Mu Wanqing said.

"It's up to mother to decide." Su Yuexi said.

The maid was really smart. Seeing this, she immediately knelt down and saluted, saying, "I greet the master. Please give me a name."

Su Yuexi said, "How about you call me Tingyu?"

The little maid looked happy and said, "I am Tingyu. Thank you for the name."

"No need to be polite." Su Yuexi said.

"Yes." Tingyu stood up happily and ran to stand beside Tingzhu.

Now she has become a big maid, so she doesn't have to envy Tingzhu.

You know, last night she heard that the lady asked Cuishan to serve in Tingfeng Courtyard, and she knew she was going to be promoted. This morning she also knew that she had been given the name Tingzhu.

The new young master didn't have a personal maid to serve him, so the lady sent Xueying, the most useful in Wutong Courtyard, to serve him. It shows how much she values this young master.

And the marquis is the same. Since the young master came back, he has almost eaten at home every meal. This has never happened before.

Therefore, everyone knows that if they are assigned to serve this young master, they will have a promising future.

Several people have long been eyeing the position of the young master's vacant maid.

Unexpectedly, she was lucky enough to be assigned to the young master today!

She was immediately promoted from a second-class maid to a first-class maid, and she was naturally overjoyed.

"You can use these two maids first, and replace them if they are not useful. The same goes for the little maids in Tingfeng Courtyard."

"Of course, if you meet a maid you like, you can promote her." Madam Hou's words were a warning to these maids.

If you don't serve the master wholeheartedly, you may be replaced at any time. There will definitely be punishment at that time.

Therefore, Tingzhu and Tingyu were both nervous when they heard this, and they immediately stood more straight.

Su Yuexi nodded after hearing this.

She couldn't help but think that Wang Xiaoxi in the original book didn't have such treatment.

When Wang Xiaoxi first arrived at the mansion, she had a petty and unpresentable air about her. She was timid.

In addition, Su Yueyan cried and said that she was not her biological daughter and wanted to go back to the farm. The Marquis' wife was busy coaxing her, and naturally left Wang Xiaoxi aside.

Wang Xiaoxi moved into the Tingfeng Courtyard, but she was not used to the maids' service. She always refused.

Later, seeing that the Marquis' wife did not care much about her, and Su Yueyan deliberately framed her several times, the servants naturally followed suit. Even if they did not deliberately do bad things, they would keep themselves out of the way and ignore Wang Xiaoxi.

This made Wang Xiaoxi live on thin ice in the Marquis' mansion, and she could only get enough food and clothing.

Even so, Wang Xiaoxi was already very satisfied.

Su Yuexi naturally didn't know that the plot changed drastically after she became Wang Xiaoxi because the system was playing tricks behind the scenes.

Chapter 25 Wenren Qiuchan

After beating the maid.

Mu Wanqing said: "Okay, next, mother will introduce you to the brothers, sisters and relatives in the mansion, so that you can get familiar with them first."

"Among the sisters in the family, in addition to your second sister Yueyan, there is also an older sister named Qiuchan. Now she is in the palace, honored to be the princess's companion."

【Wenren Qiuchan, I know, she is my favorite in the original book! 】

【Obviously a heroine】

【The only female general in the Zhao Dynasty】

【The martial arts value is off the charts, and she also has great righteousness~】

【It's a pity that the stupid heroine was killed by Huo Huo! 】

What? !

Mu Wanqing's breath was choked.

She and Lord Su both heard this voice:

"Wenren Qiuchan, I know, I like her the most.

She is the only female general in the Zhao Dynasty.

She is extremely powerful and has great righteousness~

It's a pity that she was killed by a fool!"

Who is it!

Dare to harm their daughter? !

Who is that "idiot"!

Mu Wanqing was furious.

Lord Su was no less angry.

Wenren Qiuchan is actually the adopted daughter of Lord Su and his wife.

In the original text, Wenren Qiuchan's father Wenren Yi saved Lord Su on the battlefield with his life.

But he left behind a pair of orphans and a widow.

Wenren Yi's wife was in poor health and had just given birth. She was shocked by this incident and passed away soon.

Leaving behind a baby girl who was still in her infancy and helpless.

Lord Su took Wenren Qiuchan, the orphan of the Wenren family, home and adopted her as his daughter.

At that time, he already had two sons in his family, and his daughter was not yet born.

He announced to the public that Wenren Qiuchan was the legitimate eldest daughter of the Marquis's family, and there was no need to change her name.

Because he planned to recruit a son-in-law for Wenren Qiuchan in the future to continue the surname of the Wenren lineage.

This move was somewhat unconventional, so it attracted some gossip and criticism from civil officials.

However, given his identity as a military marquis of the Great Zhao Dynasty, and the fact that Wenren Qiuchan was the orphan of a martyr.

With the support of many generals in the court, these gossips were quickly suppressed.

And the Marquis's wife Mu Wanqing herself was also from a military family.

Knowing that there would be many orphans every time there was a war.

Her own father, General Mu, also sponsored many orphans of his fellow soldiers.

So when Lord Su brought Wenren Qiuchan back, Mu Wanqing felt very sorry for this orphan who lost her father and mother at a young age.

She knew that swords and knives were blind on the battlefield, and no matter how righteous you were, you might not be able to escape unscathed every time.

Therefore, she was very grateful to Wenren Yi for risking his life to protect her husband.

At that time, she already had two young sons, and it was the time when maternal love burst out.

She felt pity and love for Wenren Qiuchan, a beautiful and lovely baby girl.

So she sincerely loved Wenren Qiuchan in her cradle as if she were her own daughter.

Later, when she gave birth to her own daughter, she only let her own daughter, Pai Xing, be the second lady in the mansion.

Since then, Wenren Qiuchan's identity as the eldest lady of the Marquis's mansion was set in stone and could not be shaken.

It can even be said that if Wenren Qiuchan was in the mansion, her words would be more effective than Su Yueyan's.

Which blind fellow dared to harm the eldest daughter of his Suwu Marquis Mansion?

Mu Wanqing couldn't wait to find out the reason.

So she deliberately used words to guide: "Your eldest sister's full name is Wenren Qiuchan. In fact, she is not of the Marquis Mansion."

Seeing that Su Yuexi didn't move.

She said again: "Your eldest sister's biological father died to save your father, and her mother also died of illness. Your father took pity on her orphanage at a young age, so he took her back to the mansion and adopted her as a daughter."

"Your eldest sister has been sensible since she was young, and she is diligent and hardworking, and she is both civil and military."

[I know, otherwise how could she become the first female general. ]

Marquis's wife Mu Wanqing paused for a moment, and seeing that there was a play, she continued: "Your eldest sister is now the sixth princess's companion, so she lives in the palace and goes home once every half a month."

"According to the time, your eldest sister will return home in three days."

[Three days? No~]

[Actually, she will be back today~]

[What is the plot in the original book? Let me see~]

[This is what happened: Today, the princesses in the palace will go boating on the lake in the Imperial Garden.]

[The second prince's sister, the seventh princess, will deliberately push Wenren Qiuchan into the water. The second prince pretends to pass by and wants to save Wenren Qiuchan. In this way, he will seek Wenren Qiuchan's marriage and take the opportunity to win the support of Su Wuhou Mansion and some generals.]

[Unfortunately, Wenren Qiuchan is not only a martial arts expert, but also very good at swimming. She has long been tired of the intrigues of being a companion in the palace, so she deliberately let herself be pushed into the water and swam out of the palace directly along the secret passage connecting the lake bottom to the moat.]

[Everyone was panicked and everyone was looking for Wenren Qiuchan. This alarmed the emperor, and he was furious. The emperor reprimanded and punished all the princes and princesses, and stepped up efforts to find her. Finally, people found Wenren Qiuchan, who pretended to be unconscious, on the river outside the palace. 】

【The emperor invited the imperial physician for her, not only gave her many rewards, but also issued an oral order for Wenren Qiuchan to rest at home and not to enter the palace to accompany the princess in the future. 】

【She is worthy of being the first female general with courage and strategy. She achieved her goal easily. 】

【

Chapter 26 The eldest son Su Yuefei

You should know that although Wenren Qiuchan is just a minister's daughter, her status is extremely special.

She is not only the eldest lady adopted by the Su Wuhou Mansion, but also represents the emperor's sympathy for the orphans of soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country.

She is just an orphan girl. Just by letting her enter the palace to accompany the princess, the emperor can gain a good reputation of not forgetting his old ministers.

Why wouldn't the emperor do it?

But if she really got into trouble in the palace, the emperor's face would be lost.

His children were all fine, so why did the orphan of his ministers die inexplicably after entering the palace? Was she bullied to death by the princes and princesses?

The emperor didn't want such a reputation to spread, and the Su Wuhou Mansion and the group of warriors were notorious for protecting their shortcomings, so they probably wouldn't let it go.

Therefore, in the original book, the emperor chose to quickly send Wenren Qiuchan back to the mansion to settle the matter.

Hearing Su Yuexi's voice, the couple looked at each other.

It turned out to be the second prince.

Could that "idiot" be the second prince?

And they learned from Su Yuexi's voice that it would be the second prince who would usurp the throne in the future.

It was the second prince who ordered the confiscation of the Su Wuhou Mansion and exile.

It seems that the mansion and the second prince have to have a feud.

Lord Su was secretly angry.

The second prince not only poisoned his biological father for a long time to seize the imperial power. He also framed and used women by any means.

How could such a sinister villain be a monarch? !

Fortunately, he had learned this from his daughter's voice in advance.

Therefore, he had made arrangements in advance and had prepared for his family's exile.

Otherwise, his Su family would be defeated by such a bastard!

It's a pity that he still had many questions in his heart, but he couldn't ask them.

Because he tried, as long as he wanted to ask questions about his voice, he couldn't open his mouth or make a sound.

It seemed that some ghost power controlled his body in the dark.

This made him more and more awed.

I'm afraid that his daughter is really a fairy who has come down to earth and has a great origin.

The couple thought that the "idiot" referred to the second prince.

Therefore, they all felt that as long as they stayed away from the capital and the second prince, they would be fine.

Mu Wanqing calmed down.

She continued, "You have two older brothers above your elder sister. Your elder brother is Su Yuefei, also known as Pengcheng. He is currently guarding the border for your father."

[I know, the famous young Marquis Su, but this name is unlucky]

[You can call him anything else, Yue Fei]

[Although he has the same name as a famous general in ancient times, he was also killed]

[A young general who died at the age of 20, what a pity~]

What? !

Mu Wanqing felt a pain in her heart.

Her son, her eldest son, how could...

Who? Who killed her Penger? !

Mu Wanqing put her hand on her chest.

With the power of their Marquis's Mansion, how could they fall to the point where their eldest daughter and eldest son were both killed? !

Marquis Su clenched his fists beside him, with veins bulging.

After a moment, he loosened his fist and tried to say, "Your elder brother is only nineteen years old, and he is very skilled in martial arts. He was already in the battlefield at the age of sixteen, guarding the border. Although there have been fewer wars in recent years, he has never lost in the few wars that have been fought."

He wanted to see if he could lead Su Yuexi to express more of his feelings.

[A sixteen-year-old boy is going to guard the border? It seems that being a young marquis is not that easy! ]

When Marquis Su saw that Su Yuexi had stopped moving, he continued:

"Your elder brother doesn't know about your existence yet. If he knew, he would be very happy and would give you many gifts."

[Oh, don't even mention giving gifts, I can't even see him~]

[According to the plot, I should have been killed by the stupid heroine on the way to exile. Where can I see him? ]

What? !

What Su Houye and Mu Wanqing heard was: "Oh, don't even mention sending gifts, I can't even see him. I should have been killed by a fool on the way to exile. Where can I see him?" As for the words related to the plot and the heroine, they were muted by the system.

No wonder, no wonder this child always thinks about running away.

It turns out that she knew she would be killed on the way to exile.

Su Houye and Mu Wanqing felt bad in their hearts.

Who is that "idiot"?

Is it really the second prince? Why does he tirelessly harm his children?

Is it impossible to hide? !

If this is true, then their Su family will have to fight with the second prince!

Su Houye secretly made up his mind.

Chapter 27 Second Son Su Yuexuan

Mu Wanqing calmed down again and continued:

"You have a second brother, named Su Yuexuan, with the courtesy name Zhongbo, who is currently studying at Qingshan Academy."

[I know, the jade-faced young man Su Yuexuan~ It is said that he is the most handsome one in the Su family~]

[The only two survivors in the Su family are Su Yueyan and Su Yuexuan]

[It's a pity that Su Yuexuan not only lost his voice and face due to the poison, but also had his limbs mutilated and became a beggar. Even so, he still wanted to secretly avenge the Su family. It's so pitiful. ]

[He was the first one to wake up in the original book and was not deceived by the stupid heroine. It's a pity that the heroine's protagonist halo is too strong. The author asked him to die, and he must die. ]

Mu Wanqing's eyes went dark and she felt like she was going to faint.

She tried to hold the handle of the chair.

She couldn't believe it. Would all this really happen in the future?

Her handsome second son was actually harmed by someone, his face was completely destroyed, his voice was hoarse, his body was deformed, and he had to beg for food like a ghost?

Who is that "idiot"? Who is so vicious that he harmed his Su family to this point? !

What sin did their Su family commit to end up in such a miserable end? !

The veins on Lord Su's forehead were popping out.

Who is that thief "idiot"? !

Don't let him find out, otherwise he will pull out the other party's intestines and wrap them around his neck three times, and whip his corpse for 49 days, and finally grind his bones and scatter his ashes to relieve his hatred!

Mu Wanqing barely managed to calm down her emotions. Trying to make her voice calm, she said:

"Okay, Xi'er, these are my brothers and sisters, remember them first. As for the others, I will tell you in detail later."

The main reason is that she was shocked enough today, and she was afraid to learn more tragic things from Su Yuexi's inner voice.

She should take it slow first.

Su Yuexi nodded obediently.

Mu Wanqing said again: "Someone from the silver shop will come to the mansion later, and then you and Yan'er will each pick some jewelry and headwear you like."

"In addition, someone will come to measure your body and tailor your clothes. There are picture albums for whatever colors and styles you like."

"Thank you, mother." Su Yueyan said.

"Thank you, mother." Su Yuexi also learned it.

At the same time, she remembered.

It seems that there is also this plot in the original book.

The original owner Wang Xiaoxi didn't know how to choose these, and was fooled by Cui Liu, a little maid who obeyed Su Yueyan, to choose the most vulgar gold hairpin and big red head flower.

Even the clothes were chosen in red floral fabric.

As a result, this aesthetic made her laughed at by the whole family.

But Su Yuexi didn't care who laughed at her. She had already made up her mind to choose those made of gold and jade, because only such jewelry was valuable.

She didn't want any delicate velvet and silk flowers.

As for clothes, she chose some gray ones that were not eye-catching.

She didn't want those bright silk and satin colors either.

"Mother knows that you have suffered for more than ten years outside, and mother will slowly make it up to you in the future." Mu Wanqing said again.

Su Yuexi nodded obediently and smiled.

[That's easy, just give me more money. ]

She thought of Wang Xiaoxi's end in the original book, and actually didn't have much hope for what the Marquis said.

Mrs. Hou treated the fake legitimate daughter Su Yueyan as a treasure, causing Wang Xiaoxi to die tragically in the end.

Although there was force majeure in the plot, wasn't it also because Mrs. Hou liked and trusted her daughter who she raised with her own hands more?

If she really loved and cared about Wang Xiaoxi, she would not be bullied to death by Su Yueyan under the eyes of the Marquis's wife.

She did not think that she was better than Wang Xiaoxi and could be treated differently by the Marquis's wife.

She did not come back to the Marquis's mansion to win favor, but to collect money.

If it were not for the melon-eating system 007 telling her that she had to return to the Marquis's mansion to eat melons in the main storyline in order to obtain melon-eating points to unlock other gold fingers.

Plus, she also thought about the wealth of the Marquis's mansion, and it should not be difficult to come here to collect some silver, so she came back to the Marquis's mansion.

So her goal was clear, which was to go to the Marquis's mansion to make money and accumulate melon-eating points, and then run away at any time when the situation was not good.

[

Chapter 28 The old lady invites

After a while, the maid from the outer gate led the housekeeper of the silver building and the female master of the ready-made clothing shop.

The housekeeper of the silver shop brought a few luxurious jewelry, and the rest were all picture albums.

Su Yueyan had been pampered by the Marquis's mansion for more than ten years, and she had the best of everything, so her aesthetic taste was naturally in line with the trend.

The style of literati and nobles was the most popular in the capital now, so she picked a few elegant and simple styles from the picture album.

Su Yuexi directly chose the luxurious jewelry brought by the housekeeper of the silver shop.

This kind of jewelry is actually not suitable for little girls, but more suitable for the mistress of the house to wear on formal occasions.

But Su Yuexi didn't care, because they looked very expensive.

And they were all made of gold and jade, which just suited her taste.

The Marquis's wife couldn't bear it, so she personally selected some styles suitable for little girls from the picture album for Su Yuexi.

Because the purchase of makeup this time was originally for Su Yuexi. Letting Su Yueyan choose some was just a by-product, so that the Marquis's wife would not be partial.

So it was okay for her to choose a few more for Su Yuexi.

When choosing the style of clothes, Su Yuexi started to make trouble again.

Su Yueyan picked out a few elegant and fresh girl styles.

But Su Yuexi fell in love with women's training clothes.

There were also female generals in the Zhao Dynasty, and there were also many women who practiced martial arts and rode horses.

So when Su Yuexi saw the album of women's training clothes, she was surprised.

This clothes are like sportswear, with clothes on the upper body and pants on the lower body.

The cuffs and trouser legs are tied tightly.

[This is a must-have on the road of escaping famine. ]

[I want this, this is good. ]

See Su Yuexi choose a few women's training clothes.

Mu Wanqing wanted to stop her, but after hearing her thoughts, she said to the female master of the clothing shop: "Just do as the young lady said. Bring the booklet here, I'll take a look."

Then she personally selected a few more sets of silk and satin clothes for Su Yuexi, and asked the clothing shop to make them and send them within three days.

She also asked the maid to ask the housekeeper of the Marquis's Mansion to go back with the female master of the clothing shop to select some sturdy and wear-resistant dark fabrics to buy back.

She thought that the Marquis's Mansion also had a needlework lady, although she only sewed some common clothes on a daily basis.

But clothes like women's training clothes can be made by themselves.

She could just ask the servants to buy some cloth and make some for the women in the Marquis' Mansion to prepare in advance.

The clothes and jewelry were selected here, and the shopkeepers on both sides also left.

Then a maid came up with a bad face to report that the old lady invited the Marquis's wife and the newly found third lady to Rongxuan Hall.

Who else could be the old lady of the Marquis's Mansion?

Of course it was Marquis Su's biological mother, the old lady of the Marquis' Mansion, Mrs. Wu.

"The old lady wants to see you?" Marquis Su came out of the inner room and said in surprise.

When people came from the silver shop and the ready-made clothing shop just now, he went into the inner room to read.

After hearing what the maid said, he felt a little strange.

The old lady has not taken the initiative to ask people from Wutong Courtyard to go to her for many years.

His mother, Mrs. Wu, has always disliked Mu Wanqing.

Although his wife, Mu Wanqing, appears gentle and quiet on the surface.

But in fact, she has a hot temper.

When she first married into the Marquis' Mansion, the old lady made things difficult for her repeatedly, which made Mu Wanqing unable to bear it.

Since then, the Marquis' Mansion has been in turmoil due to the troubles between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law.

Every time he thought of this, Marquis Su felt like he was having a nightmare.

Mu Wanqing also recalled some bad memories.

When she first married into the Marquis' Mansion, she was furious because of her mother-in-law's troubles, and she directly used force to teach the servants who obeyed the old lady's orders.

She was a daughter of a general, and she lived with General Mu at the border for many years before returning to Beijing.

When she married into the Marquis Su Wu's Mansion, she brought a few maids with strong martial arts skills to manage the servants of the Marquis' Mansion.

On the one hand, the old lady didn't like her daughter-in-law, and on the other hand, she was timid.

Seeing that her daughter-in-law was so rude and brave, and she didn't hesitate to lose her face, the old lady Wu was so frightened that she became sick.

She disliked Mu Wanqing from all sides, but she couldn't get rid of her.

So she tried to please Lord Su.

But Lord Su fell in love with Mu Wanqing at first sight since he was a child, and took the initiative to let his own father arrange a marriage for him.

How could he listen to his confused mother's one-sided words?

He knew from a young age that his mother was confused.

When she failed to please him, Old Wu used filial piety to force Lord Su to take Song Rouer as a concubine, deliberately to disgust Mu Wanqing, and this was considered a win.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law fought back and forth countless times.

Of course, it was always the mother-in-law who made trouble for the daughter-in-law.

Since Mu Wanqing gave birth to a daughter, the old lady didn't know how she figured it out, and finally stopped, and even exempted her daughter-in-law from paying respects.

Since then, the two generations of marquis' wives basically didn't see each other.

Each of them lived their own lives.

They only met during festivals. The old lady said a few words, and Mu Wanqing endured it and let it go.

And Lord Su finally didn't have to be squeezed in the middle and be bullied.

When he heard that the old lady wanted to invite the marquis' wife to come, Lord Su wanted to escape.

But this time the old lady also specifically asked Su Yuexi, who had just returned to the mansion, to come.

He was a little suspicious. The old lady didn't ask about external affairs for many years, and just lived in Rongxuan Hall as a rich and idle person.

How could she know about Su Yuexi?

What is she trying to do?

[

Chapter 29 Backstab from the Mother

When Mu Wanqing heard that the old lady summoned him, she rolled her eyes at Lord Su, which was rare.

Lord Su responded with a sneer.

So the masters and maids in Wutong Court went to Rongxuan Hall in a mighty manner.

Rongxuan Hall can be said to be the most luxurious place in the mansion.

Old Madam Wu was born in a small family of scholars, and often boasted of her family's scholarly family.

Although she always said that scholars were noble and elegant, and she was a pure stream.

But she was very fond of elegant objects and furnishings.

The Marquis's family had been fighting for generations, and the family was rich.

The deceased old Marquis was a doting wife, so the old lady lived a comfortable and wealthy life in the Marquis's family.

Entering Rongxuan Hall, the old lady was half-leaning on the chaise longue with her eyes closed and dozing off, served by several big maids.

Beside her was the well-behaved second daughter-in-law, Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu was the legal wife of the second master of the Marquis's family. She was also the old lady's niece's cousin.

Therefore, she was very close to the old lady and came to serve her every day.

"The son pays respects to his mother." Marquis Su said first.

"The daughter-in-law pays respects to her mother-in-law." Mu Wanqing also bowed and said.

"Granddaughter pays respects to grandmother." Seeing Su Yueyan's salute, Su Yuexi also followed with a look.

The old lady opened her eyes lazily and glanced over.

She originally wanted to call Mu Wanqing over to scold her first, but now she saw that Lord Su was there, so she planned to restrain herself.

But as soon as she was helped to sit down by the maid, she heard a strange voice.

[Oh, is this the old lady in the Marquis's mansion? ]

[When she was young, she was a little troublemaker, and when she got old, she was an old troublemaker~]

How dare you!

Who is so desperate that he dares to say that to her!

The old lady looked cold and scanned everyone.

But she didn't find anything.

And she saw that everyone looked calm and didn't seem to have heard anything.

She couldn't help but look suspicious. Could it be that she was the only one who heard this voice?

Is it an auditory hallucination?

The old lady doubted herself.

Su Yuexi complained in her heart while secretly looking at her.

The old lady in front of her looked like she was less than fifty years old.

She was middle-aged and had a good appearance. No wonder she could attract the old marquis of the previous generation.

She had been pampered all her life and attached great importance to health preservation. Even her hair was not white at this time.

She knew why the old lady asked her to come.

The plot in the original book was that the old lady refused to admit that Wang Xiaoxi was the daughter of the marquis on the pretext that the blood of the marquis could not be mixed.

As a result, although Wang Xiaoxi was found back to the marquis, she was always not legitimate.

Otherwise, even the maids and old women would not dare to tease and perfunctory Wang Xiaoxi.

This also laid the groundwork for Wang Xiaoxi's tragic death in the future.

And Su Yuexi knew that the reason why the old lady did this was of course because she was guilty.

[With such a mother who can't figure things out, Lord Su is so pitiful~]

[What mother would help cover up the fact that her younger son is having an affair with her older son's concubine]

What? !

Lord Su was shocked and clenched his fists tightly.

His mother actually knew about the affair between Song Rouer and his second brother, and she even helped cover it up!

The old lady felt extremely guilty.

She couldn't help but look around.

Who was talking?

How could he know this?

Could it be a ghost?

The old lady became suspicious and felt her heartbeat speed up.

[Tsk tsk, this old lady is so biased]

[Not only did she conceal the fact that her youngest son had an affair with her eldest son's concubine]

[She also helped Concubine Rou to replace the eldest son's and his wife's legitimate daughter with the child she had from the affair]

What? !

Mu Wanqing's eyes were red and her eyes were red.

This matter was actually done by her mother-in-law!

No wonder Song Rou'er, an unfavored concubine, dared to be so bold as to replace her daughter!

No wonder they suddenly stopped all these years and stopped causing trouble for her. It turned out that they had done something wrong and secretly harmed her own flesh and blood!

She always knew that the old lady didn't like her.

But she never expected that her mother-in-law would be so vicious!

That was the legitimate blood of the Marquis's Mansion! Not only her own child, but also her eldest son's child.

She actually helped the concubine to replace her daughter who she had worked so hard to give birth to!

What? !

Lord Su was also extremely angry.

His mother actually did such an outrageous thing!

He would never have thought that Song Rouer's cheating and baby swapping incidents were actually his mother's work!

His mother actually helped his own brother to have an affair with his concubine!

She even secretly swapped her own flesh and blood, making him raise his daughter for his brother for 15 years in vain!

Is this his own mother or his enemy? !

He always knew that his mother was confused and partial to his younger brother.

But he never thought that his mother would stab him in the back like this.

He was the eldest son, destined to inherit the Marquis's Mansion since birth, so he was brought up by the old Marquis to teach him when he was young, and was separated from his mother too early.

After his younger brother was born, he was raised by his mother.

The mother was close to the second brother, so she was naturally partial to him.

In the past, his mother often said that his younger brother could not inherit the Marquis's Mansion, and he, as the elder brother, should take care of him more.

On the one hand, he asked him to be tolerant and patient with his useless younger brother.

On the other hand, he constantly gave the money in the mansion to his younger brother to squander.

Before his father passed away, he had asked him to be filial to his mother and friendly to his younger brother.

Therefore, even if his younger brother was a jerk and his mother was a bitch,

He always tolerated them.

Even his wife suffered many years of grievances with him.

Because he felt guilty towards his wife, he kept himself clean and respected his wife more.

But he didn't expect that the family harmony he worked so hard to maintain was only exchanged for the sacrifice of his own family!

His wishful kindness and tolerance were exchanged for the backstab of his own mother and brother!

[

Chapter 30 The Guilty Old Lady

His mother forced him to marry his disliked cousin from Wu's family as a concubine.

His second brother had an affair with his concubine without caring about his face as an elder brother.

Three people who knew about it secretly replaced his own flesh and blood.

He made himself look like a fool and raised his brother's daughter for 15 years.

His daughter was almost tortured to death in a farmer's house.

This is his family!

The family he has always protected and treated with tolerance!

The once powerful Wu Hou Su Yunting felt something collapse in his heart.

His eyes went dark and he staggered. A sweet and fishy taste seemed to surge in his throat, which he suppressed forcefully.

When he looked up again, his eyes were full of fierceness.

He was Wu Hou who was educated by the old marquis, the national weapon of the Zhao Dynasty, and the killing god on the battlefield.

Before, only his family was his weak spot.

Now, after the heart-wrenching pain, there are only two fewer weak spots!

Su Hou's fists clenched and his face became extremely cold.

The old lady was pale and almost couldn't sit still.

Who is it? !

What kind of monster is it? !

How did she reveal all the bad things she had done many years ago? !

She didn't even dare to look at the ugly faces of her eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law.

I don't know if they heard it too?

She just felt more and more guilty, and the more she thought about it, the more scared she became.

Could it be a ghost?

Her hair stood up, her face was pale, and she had begun to sweat.

To talk about what happened in the past, she did regret it.

Back then, she was angry that the old marquis had arbitrarily arranged for the eldest daughter of General Mu's family for her eldest son Su Yunting, so she always looked down on Mu Wanqing.

How could the daughter of a vulgar warrior compare to the daughter of her Wu family, a scholarly family?

She had promised her mother's family that the next generation of marquis's wife would definitely choose someone from her mother's family, but the old marquis messed it up.

Therefore, since Mu Wanqing married into the marquis's mansion, she has been finding faults and trying to torture her daughter-in-law.

The old marquis died early. She was the oldest in the mansion. She could do whatever she wanted.

Unfortunately, this daughter-in-law was not one to swallow her anger.

After being targeted several times, she taught all the servants of Rongxuan Hall a lesson.

Her unfilial eldest son only knew how to smooth things over and was unwilling to divorce this fierce woman.

She was so angry that she fell ill.

Later, an orphan from her natal family came to seek refuge, named Song Rouer, saying that she was willing to serve her.

She saw that Song Rouer was not a worry-free person.

She also saw that Song Rouer was interested in the eldest son who had inherited the title, so she deliberately forced the eldest son to take Song Rouer as a concubine.

This incident made Mu Wanqing very angry, and she was happy for several days because of it.

Unfortunately, the eldest son and his wife had a deep relationship, and Song Rouer would be like staying alone in an empty room after marrying.

Who knew that the fickle and frivolous girl, seeing that the eldest son was not successful, secretly hooked up with her youngest son.

The two of them did something wrong, and she didn't know about it until Song Rouer was pregnant.

She was naturally furious.

But her youngest son kept crying and begging to admit his mistakes, and Song Rouer was his cousin from his mother's side.

Plus, she couldn't bear to lose her youngest son's bloodline.

In desperation, she found a drug to knock out her eldest son, and sent him to Song Rouer's room, creating the illusion of a night of lovemaking.

Finally, she cleared the way for the fetus in Song Rouer's belly.

But who knew that Song Rouer was so bold and made two preparations.

That bitch knew that if she gave birth to a son, she would still get a little bit of good face.

If she gave birth to a daughter, even the second master in the mansion would probably not look at her any more.

When she was old and ugly, and not favored by her husband, what was the use of giving birth to a concubine's daughter?

So Song Rouer made a careful plan, took the drug, and gave birth to herself and the marquis's wife at the same time.

She also bribed the servants and midwives in the mansion to exchange her daughter with the daughter of the marquis's wife Mu Wanqing.

The old lady believed that if she knew about this in advance, she would not approve.

No matter how partial she was, the eldest son was still her biological son.

However, Song Rouer did the baby swapping thing first and then reported it to the second master. She cried and said that the baby girl was the second master's biological daughter. Could she just watch her live as a concubine who could never be on the stage?

The youngest son also cried to her with grievance, saying that his daughter was not as noble as the daughter of the marquis.

The old lady felt sorry for the youngest son and acquiesced to this matter.

She even helped Song Rouer to smooth over some clues and troubles.

After this incident, both she and Song Rouer felt guilty.

So after that, she never took the initiative to trouble Mu Wanqing again.

And the reason why she called Mu Wanqing here today was because she had long been accustomed to Song Rouer's service.

But Song Rouer didn't show up this morning.

After asking others, she found out that the marquis took Song Rouer out of the mansion yesterday and didn't return all night.

And she heard that a girl was found outside the mansion and said to be the third lady.

She thought it was bad, and she was afraid that the incident had been exposed.
