Chapter 171 Tacit Understanding

Looking at the small box that Song Facai brought out, Song Meier couldn't help but swallow her saliva. These shops and farms are really geese that lay golden eggs. It's a pity that now they all have to be returned to the Kuang family.

Even though she was reluctant to leave these things behind, Song Meir did not dare to keep them, but the silver...

Song Mei'er's eyes suddenly lit up, remembering that Mu Jinghe said he could keep half of the money. Her eyes flickered, she nodded to Song Facai, and said hurriedly, "Dad, I'm leaving now."

Hurrying to a deserted place, Song Meir hastily counted out more than thirty thousand taels of silver notes from the box and put them close to her body. "Why is there only this much silver? Didn't I give you sixty or seventy thousand before?"

After counting the real estate deeds of the shop and farm, Mu Jinghe checked the banknotes. Seeing that there was only 28,000 taels, he frowned and looked at Song Meir, having completely forgotten what he had just said, that she could keep half for herself.

"I've spent some of the money, but didn't you ask me to keep some of the rest?"

Being questioned by Mu Jinghe like this was unprecedented, and Song Meir immediately felt a little uncomfortable. But thinking of the silver she had hidden, she suppressed her uneasiness and secretly glanced at the people following Mu Jinghe, and replied in a very low voice.

Yes, he remembered.

Because he had a very good impression of Song Meir before, he reminded her like that. He didn't intend to take back all the money, thinking that he would leave some private money for Song Meir. But now - Mu Jinghe nodded, and said calmly: "Don't spend it carelessly, I will come to get it in a few days."

"Okay." Song Meir gritted her teeth, her face almost froze, but she had to agree.

"Why is there only this much silver?"

After returning to Yuejiang Marquis Mansion and waiting for Mu Jinghe to hand over all the things and silver he had taken back from Song Meir, Mu Heng frowned when he heard the amount of silver reported by the person in charge of liquidation: "Where did you spend all that silver?"

Mu Jinghe lowered his head and endured it in silence even though Mu Heng kept nagging him.

After saying a few words and getting no response, Mu Heng finally had to save face in front of Old Master Kuang and others and angrily ordered the people around him to go to the account office and make up the missing silver.

Fortunately, the amount of money that Mu Heng needed to pay was still within his acceptable range, so in the end he didn't say much.

Since Mu Heng didn't say anything, Old Master Kuang and the three brothers Kuang Zhihai, Kuang Zhifeng and Kuang Zhihong naturally wouldn't say anything either.

After seeing the farms and shops taken back from the Song family, Old Master Kuang and others didn't even need to ask whether Mu Jinghe had given Song Meir extra money. They already knew that Mu Jinghe was most likely cheated by Song Meir and the Song family.

Haha, it's a trap. Anyway, I have tried my best to minimize the losses, and the remaining losses are just bait for fishing, to watch the fun and have fun.

If the Song family hadn't tricked Mu Jinghe and Yuejiang Marquis's Mansion, or if they were nosy, they would have casually helped expose the true colors of Song Meir, the Song family, and Concubine Song. Then how would they watch the next good show? So Old Master Kuang and the three brothers Kuang Zhihai looked at each other and shut up tacitly.

I packed up Kuang Guya's dowry, private room, and all the property and daily clothes in Mu Jingyan's yard. I took away the people who served them. I got some silver for Mu Qingyin, which was not much but better than nothing. I almost emptied Mu Jinghe's yard and took back most of the property I had given him before. I also accidentally watched the opening scene.

Both Old Master Kuang and the three brothers Kuang Zhihai, Kuang Zhifeng and Kuang Zhihong were very satisfied and felt that their trip was not in vain and that they had fully recouped their money.

Chapter 172: You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child

After taking away the things and people, the Kuang family returned satisfied.

After the two families went to the government office to file the divorce agreement between Kuang Guya and Mu Heng, soon everyone in the capital who should know that the two had "parted ways and lived happily ever after" knew about it.

Even though the more well-informed families did not get the news from the mouths of the two heads of the Kuang and Mu families, the Kuang family did not deliberately conceal the news.

The Mu family was so flustered that they had no time to suppress the news because the incident happened suddenly and they were being led by the nose passively. The reasons why Kuang Guya and Mu Heng suddenly separated were also known to everyone.

If it wasn't already late that day, I'm afraid the thick stacks of cards piled up in the gatehouses of Kuang and Mu's houses would not only be visiting cards, but also people coming to inquire about the news.

The incident became known to everyone. The Kuang family, who had been prepared, were not panicked and everything was in order.

Pastoral family.

With such a big incident, the inner courtyard was suddenly missing the housekeeper and many of the stewards, and chaos broke out immediately.

The Yuejiang Marquis's Mansion was in chaos, but Concubine Song was secretly happy. She took advantage of the chaos to secretly hide a lot of things in her private storehouse.

Money is a man's courage.

After hiding the things, Aunt Song felt relieved and her fear was relieved a lot.

Seeing the chaotic situation in the mansion without a leader, she began to realize that only when the mansion became more chaotic and more panicked could Mu Heng realize that the inner courtyard could not stand being left without someone to manage it.

At this time, if there were any of Mu Heng's confidants who spoke for her and gave her a chance to redeem herself, she would have a chance to escape, and if she was luckier, she wouldn't even get a light punishment.

After figuring this out, Aunt Song immediately arranged for someone to secretly meet with the mansion's chief steward and several people who were influential around Mu Heng.

You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a kid.

Concubine Song was very confident. With Kuang Guya gone, no other concubine except her would be able to support the backyard of the Yuejiang Marquis' Mansion for a while.

Yuejianghou Mansion, study.

"The Kuang family and Kuang Guya are good, everything is fine. It's obvious that they planned this to leave us a mess." After listening to the report from Mu Yong, the chief steward of the mansion, with a gloomy face, Mu Heng was so angry that he almost smashed the house.

He gnashed his teeth and said, "Bitch, do you really think that without her, we can't survive in Yuejiang Marquis Mansion and wait to be laughed at by others?"

If this chaos is not stopped in time, and those missing managers in important places are not quickly filled to appease people's hearts, even if they can still get by, they are afraid that Yuejiang Marquis Mansion will be seriously injured, and it is inevitable that they will be laughed at by others.

With a helpless look on his face, Mu Yong sighed slightly and said this to Mu Heng. Mu Heng's face turned even worse after hearing this, but he didn't vent his anger on Mu Yong.

He clenched his fists tightly: "Tell me, what should we do now?"

"We can only use Concubine Song first. Now the most important thing is to have someone who can take over the power of the backyard and make the backyard quiet and stable. For this person, apart from Concubine Song, who can be used reluctantly for the time being, there is really no other candidate."

Mu Yong acted as if he had no choice but to speak for Aunt Song.

He gritted his teeth, as if he had finally made up his mind, and advised Mu Heng without hesitation, "Master Hou, we can only deal with it now.

After all, the current situation in the backyard would not work if no one took over. But except for Concubine Song, the other concubines in the backyard are probably useless. "

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 173 Contentment

"Mrs. Song? Mrs. Song, why are you still speaking well of her and wanting her to manage the backyard? If it weren't for her, how could our mansion have fallen to this point? Now everyone in the capital is laughing at our Yuejiang Marquis Mansion. It's already like this, you..."

Even though Mu Yong's words made some sense, Mu Heng almost jumped up in anger. He looked at Mu Yong sharply and asked, "Are you so kind to speak for her?"

"Master Hou, I dare not hide it from you. Aunt Song sent someone to look for me before, and brought these just to ask me to speak well of her in front of you."

She took out the silver note that Aunt Song had asked someone to bring to her and presented it to Mu Heng.

"One thousand taels." Mu Heng took the banknote and sneered, "She is quite generous. I'm afraid she gave it to more than just you, right?"

"Nothing can be hidden from the Marquis."

Mu Yong stood with his hands down, and said respectfully on his face with a hideous scar, "My Lord, I am not speaking for Concubine Song just for the sake of this silver. It is my blessing for several lifetimes to be able to follow you, my Lord, and it cannot be bought with this silver.

The reason why I spoke up for Aunt Song was actually because of you, Lord Hou.

You see, given the current situation in our house, if there is no one in the backyard to support it, it will only get worse and worse and become a laughing stock.

After such a thing happened, do you really think that the Kuang family is as generous as they say and will not care about Concubine Song? What I mean is, since the Kuang family hit us in the face, are we not allowed to hit back? Since they want to pretend to be generous and let Concubine Song go, why don't we just follow their intention and let Concubine Song make meritorious contributions.

This way, someone will take over the management of the backyard temporarily, and the chaos will not continue; secondly, isn't it also like a backhanded slap on the face of the Kuang family? "

Hit the snake at its most vulnerable part. It must be said that Mu Yong knew Mu Heng very well. Every word he said touched his heart.

"..."

After pondering for a long time, he thought that what Mu Yong said made sense, and - looking at the hideous and ugly wound on Mu Yong's face, he thought that it was the wound he suffered when he was a child in order to protect him. Mu Heng had followed him for decades and had never doubted Mu Yong's loyalty.

So after a long pause, Mu Heng finally nodded: "You are right, the Kuang family is just pretending to be generous. They said this, but in fact they hated Concubine Song in their hearts.

Otherwise, the noble families wouldn't have cared so much about their reputation and shamelessly wanted to take back the gifts and money that He'er had given them."

Thinking of how Old Master Kuang and his friends were willing to sing the same tune in front of him, just to prevent Song Yim's biological son Mu Jinghe from getting an advantage, Mu Heng couldn't help but sneer a few times: "Just do as you say. If possible, I really want to see for myself what the Kuang family will look like when they find out that we not only didn't punish Song Yim, but also honored her."

"I'm afraid they will feel as disgusted as if they had eaten a fly, and won't easily show it to us." Seeing that his goal had been achieved and he had really convinced Mu Heng, Mu Yong also laughed, and couldn't help feeling a little complacent.

"Take it. Since it is given to you by Concubine Song, you should keep it."

He casually returned the banknote in his hand to Mu Yong. Mu Heng stared at him and warned him, "But after taking this money, don't forget who your real master is."

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 174 Rock Sugar and Snow Pear Soup

"Master, don't you know me? In my heart, this money is not given by Concubine Song. It is clearly a reward from Master Hou. How can I really accept the benefits of others without Master Hou's permission?"

Mu Yong smiled and expressed his loyalty: "Following Lord Hou, what Lord Hou has given me is enough for me to live on for the rest of my life. How can other people's small favors buy me off?"

"Alright, alright, in this case it means I trust you." Mu Heng's expression softened, and he cursed with a smile that showed he was very pleased.

"Master Hou, I have followed you for decades. Although I am stupid, my loyalty to you has always been witnessed by heaven and earth and cannot be shaken."

Seeing that Mu Heng's complexion had finally improved, Mu Yong quickly took advantage of the situation and said with a simple and honest look, "Actually, there is another reason why I am speaking for Concubine Song."

"Oh, tell me, is there anything else you mean?" Mu Heng raised his eyebrows and asked as he sat down.

"Master, I am stupid. Apart from being loyal to you, I don't know any other great principles."

Diligently serving Mu Heng a bowl of rock sugar and snow pear soup from the food box on the side, Mu Yong smiled and said, "But I just think that even if Concubine Song has a thousand faults, as long as she has one good thing, that's enough."

"A little bit of goodness is enough?"

Mu Heng was feeling thirsty, and when he saw the bowl of rock sugar and snow pear soup in front of him, he drank it directly without a spoon. After drinking it, he even ate the pear pieces in it.

After finishing his meal and putting down his bowl, he sneered, "But what's so good about her? Why can't I see it at all?

Oh, if it weren't for this time, I also wanted to use her to slap the Kuang family in the face. Just based on the things she did with such audacity? Even if I killed her a thousand times, it would not be enough to relieve my hatred. "

With a heavy "snort", Mu Heng looked at Mu Yong and sneered, "What do you think of her? She replaced a concubine's son with a legitimate son. How dare she do that? Because of this, because of her audacity, not only has my Yuejiang Marquis Mansion been laughed at. I also have to worry about whether I will be disliked by the current emperor."

Thinking that this was really possible, Mu Heng's face twisted for a while before he told Mu Yong, "We have no one to use right now, and we want to slap the Kuang family in the face, so we have no choice but to accommodate her.

However, I don't really want to keep her for too long. Ask someone to find a girl from a small family who is willing to be a concubine and can stand on her own and manage the household. Then I won't have to rush to marry again because I'm worried that there will be no one to take care of the backyard."

"My Lord, I shouldn't refute you. But if you take a smart and capable concubine to manage the household before you remarry, then after that, which good, noble, and well-loved young lady would be willing to marry into our Yuejiang Marquis's Mansion?"

Watching Mu Heng finish the bowl of rock sugar and snow pear soup, Mu Yong lowered his head and a strange smile flashed across his face.

As he collected the bowl, he advised with a worried look on his face for Mu Heng's sake, "Instead of doing this unnecessary thing, you might as well just let Concubine Song take care of the household.

In this way, when the new wife comes in, she can be punished for her previous mistakes. This way, the new wife can take over the housekeeping power. Not only is it legitimate, but there is no need to worry about Concubine Song having the opportunity to trip up the new wife. Isn't it better?"

"After all, you still think Concubine Song is good. Okay, tell me what is so good about her?"

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 175 Reasons

Seeing that Mu Yong was still speaking for Concubine Song, Mu Heng was not very happy. However, because he knew that Mu Yong was loyal to him and that he was really thinking about him wholeheartedly, he just glared at him and asked curiously.

"She gave birth to a young master." Mu Yong said as a matter of course, "This alone can offset all her shortcomings."

"Humph, she's not the only one who can give birth to a child. If I didn't want illegitimate children, would all these concubines in this mansion be just for show? How could she be the only one who gave birth to a illegitimate child in all these years?"

With a snort, Mu Heng said angrily: "Don't think I don't know. If it weren't for the things she did in private these years, how could there be only He'er in our house besides Kuang Gu Yasheng?"

"My Lord, you have wrongly blamed Concubine Song in this matter." Mu Yong lowered his head, looking embarrassed. He did not dare to look at Mu Heng and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"Don't blame her? If not her, then who should I blame? Should I blame you?"

Waving his hands, Mu Heng said angrily: "I don't know what's wrong with you today? Why do you suddenly change your personality and only talk for Concubine Song?"

"My Lord, I am only thinking about you."

Kneeling down with a thud, Mu Yong said to Mu Heng, "I'm afraid. I'm afraid that if you really deal with Concubine Song, the young master will blame you in the future. After all, no matter how bad she is, she is still his biological mother, right?"

"That's strange. He'er is the only male in our Yuejiang Marquis's Mansion, but it's not like we can't have more children."

Mu Heng looked at Mu Yong strangely and thought what he said was ridiculous.

He smiled nonchalantly and said, "I'm still young. Other men can still have children in their fifties or sixties. I'm only thirty-something, in the prime of my life. Am I afraid that I won't have as many legitimate sons as I want in the future? Why should I worry that a bastard like him will resent me?"

"My Lord, do you know why the old lady intervened and hid it from you, helping Concubine Song to do such a big thing as replacing the baby?" Mu Yong suddenly asked

"Don't talk nonsense. How could my mother really have intervened in this matter?" After a scare, Mu Heng glared at Mu Yong and said, "Do you really take the words of the Kuang family seriously?"

Even if this is true, you can't say it like this, let alone admit it. This Mu Yong is really getting more and more confused today. Mu Heng thought dissatisfiedly.

"This is true. Back then, I was ordered to help Concubine Song. Otherwise, Concubine Song alone would not be able to accomplish such a great thing even now, let alone back then."

Mu Yong lowered his head and said bitterly, "The whole story of this matter is the only thing that I and the old lady have kept from the Marquis over the years."

"Reason? What reason?" Is there a hidden story behind this? Mu Heng's expression suddenly became serious, and he asked in a deep voice.

"My Lord, have you often felt that you have the will but not the strength over the years?" Mu Yong asked in a trembling voice, lowering his head as if he didn't dare to look at Mu Heng.

Mu Heng's face turned dark.

Why did he dislike Kuang Guya? Wasn't it because Kuang Guya was not virtuous enough, and she could not hide her contempt and disdain for his "little problem" that often occurred, so that he had frequent attacks?

After so many times, he no longer cared about her even if she was a noble lady. That was why he dragged Concubine Song to compete with her and "pampered" her for so many years.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 176 Brain

These years, even if he finally stopped going to Kuang Guya's yard, he would suffer from more and more "illnesses", and he would only feel better when he went to Aunt Song's yard.

But he didn't want to let Concubine Song be the only one favored, which would make her even more rampant. So he had no choice but to take in more concubines. He thought that among those concubines, there would always be another Concubine Song who he could really like and not get angry.

Unfortunately, after so many years, he had more and more concubines and maids in his backyard, but no one had the ability like Aunt Song to make him have fewer attacks of illness.

He thought this in his heart in annoyance. Facing the person who picked on his sore spot, even if it was Mu Yong, Mu Heng was still angry. He glared at Mu Yong fiercely and said to Mu Yong who had already stopped talking: "Speak, continue, why don't you say anything?"

Let's see what else he can say so that I won't punish him later?

Mu Yong shrank back, and then continued cautiously, "None of the concubines have given birth to children over the years, and on the surface it seems that it is all due to Concubine Song, and even Concubine Song herself thinks so.

But in fact, Concubine Song was really wronged. The real reason why they and Concubine Song herself could not keep their fetuses was actually because of you, the Marquis.

The old lady knows about this, and I know about it too, but I just kept it a secret from you, Lord Marquis. I wanted to keep it a secret until I could no longer keep it a secret, but now I have no choice but to tell you in advance."

At this point, Mu Yong swallowed his saliva, his face turned pale and trembled, then he lowered his head as if he was determined not to look at Mu Heng, and said in a very low voice: "You were poisoned when you were a child, which is not good for your offspring. Not only that, as you grow older, you will gradually lose...lose..."

As if he had lost the courage to continue speaking, Mu Yong shut up and refused to say anything, which made Mu Heng anxious.

"What did you lose? Tell me." Mu Heng subconsciously imitated Mu Yong and asked in a low voice, but no matter how much he pressed, Mu Yong just kept his mouth shut.

Mu Yong was so desperate that he even started to cry. He kowtowed and begged, "In the future, my Lord will know the truth. I, I really can't say anything."

Mu Heng: "."

He was silent for a long time before changing his tone and asking, "Then why was Kuang Guya able to give birth to two children smoothly back then?"

"Master Hou, this must be because the Kuang family has a secret medicine that can save the child. Didn't you see that Concubine Song also got the eldest young master at that time? So the old lady and I guessed that this must be because Concubine Song got the upper hand from the previous lady.

Didn't you see that the previous wife refused to have another child and stopped giving you the medicine? That's why all the concubines in our mansion couldn't have children after that?" Mu Yong said in a firm tone.

"Back then, before I had two children, every time I went there, the Weng Mama in Kuang Guya's courtyard would never forget to serve me a bowl of nourishing soup.

Sometimes, even if I didn't go into Kuang Guya's yard, she would still do the same. She would even ask someone to send tonic soup to the study, saying that Kuang Guya was thinking about me. It was not until later when both children were born that she gradually stopped sending tonic soup.

Recalling the past, Mu Heng looked at Mu Yong as if he was suddenly enlightened and asked, "Because she knew this, my mother forced me to swear to be good to Kuang Guya.

In fact, she didn't dislike the illegitimate child, but she knew that if Kuang Guya refused to continue giving me the medicine, then I would never be able to let Concubine Song give birth to another child in the future?"

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 177 I Can't Take My Anger Out

Mu Heng's imagination was just bullying Kuang Guya, and he couldn't defend himself because Nanny Weng was not around.

If Kuang Guya heard this, I wonder how she would sneer.

What did she say that she looked down on him? It was obvious that she treated him the same as always, and it was Mu Heng who was fickle and suddenly started to find fault with her.

She was also a pampered child in her family, how could she not feel wronged? Even if she felt wronged, did she still have to rely on his flattering smile? Was she his servant, whose life and death depended on her, and had to kowtow to him all day long? Even because she was unwilling to bow her head in her early years, the relationship between husband and wife became more and more rigid. In the end, the two of them had a complete falling out, and they were unwilling to even maintain face.

Afterwards, when Kuang Guya thought about the initial period, she occasionally felt regretful.

But as time went by, she saw more and more people in the backyard. After seeing Mu Heng's lustful nature, she gradually regretted it and threw it all over Java. If Aunt Weng was here, she would feel that she was more wronged than Dou E when she saw Mu Heng's words about the tonic soup.

It is said that when Kuang Guya and Mu Heng were newly married, they were indeed in love for a while.

During that time, she was happy to see the couple getting along well. That's why she wanted to treat Mu Heng better and let him think about his girl all the time. That's why she was so attentive to serving Mu Heng the tonic soup.

God had mercy on her, and she served Mu Heng a normal tonic soup, not the soup with added ingredients that Mu Heng had imagined. Unfortunately, the two were not around, and now Mu Heng had no chance to confront them. So Mu Yong nodded without any pressure, "Yes."

Mu Yong looked at Mu Heng with complicated eyes and a face full of regret: "But these are just speculations of me and the old lady. We all hoped that it was just speculation back then. My Lord, you are actually really well now. It's not like what the doctor said that you will be cured when you reach a certain age..."

Unable to stop what he was about to say, Mu Yong kowtowed to Mu Heng again: "Master Hou, I deserve to die. I spoke out of turn."

Mu Heng: "..."

He weakly asked Mu Yong to get up. Mu Yong's words were too vague, and he couldn't help but think about it. But it was about his dignity as a man. He knew that Mu Yong's previous statement that he was "incapable of doing it" was already the limit. It would be useless to force him to say more.

How could I bear to continue questioning him?

Thinking about the bunch of concubines, maids, and maids in his backyard over the years, the number of times he actually went to them to do serious business was very limited in a year. He really felt powerless all the time. Mu Heng's eyes darkened.

Back then, it wasn't like he didn't really like Kuang Guya. Unfortunately, he was disliked because of his habit from time to time, and he couldn't raise his head in front of her. That's why he deliberately spoiled Concubine Song and let Concubine Song get angry with her.

In the past, he knew his situation. Although he was troubled and in pain, he could still constantly convince himself that he was just too tired. Other men would be the same. But today, he finally knew the real root cause of the disease that had caused him pain and distress and that he could not speak of all these years.

Mu Heng looked at Mu Yong with an obscure look in his eyes, but he could not be angry with him. Because he always remembered that he was in danger and poisoned when he was a child. If Mu Yong had not risked his life to save him, he might not be alive now.

Waving his hand to signal Mu Yong to leave, Mu Heng stayed in the study alone for the whole night.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 178: Secret Chamber

Plum Garden.

In the middle of the night, there was a slight knock on the door of Concubine Song's room. Concubine Song, who had been unable to sleep with her eyes open, got up quietly with a start.

Even though she knew there was no one in the room, Aunt Song still looked around cautiously out of habit, and confirmed again that the door was bolted. Then she carefully crawled under the bed and groped in the dark to push a switch somewhere hidden.

As the switch was turned on silently, a piece of ground under the bed opened up, and a narrow stone staircase that was only wide enough for one person to go down suddenly appeared underneath.

With the bed above blocking the way, Aunt Song could only lean over and climb down backwards.

After finally climbing down to the secret room, he found a tall and thin man waiting there. That man was none other than Mu Yong, Mu Heng's butler.

Seeing him, Aunt Song rushed over with a look of joy and asked, "Is it done? How is it? Did he believe it?"

"Okay, we've been planning this for so many years and have lost so many children because of it, how can I let him not believe it?"

Mu Yong already had scars on his face, and his smile made him look even more ferocious. Even though Aunt Song had seen this for many years, she still couldn't control her heart from twitching with fear, and she almost shivered.

She quickly calmed herself down, stroking her chest with her hand and thankfully saying, "It's all thanks to He'er's medicine. The medicine came just in time, but I don't know if it's really effective. Otherwise, we can only continue to use what we got. At worst, we can give him more medicines every day."

"It's not that easy to drug someone. How many more times?"

Glaring at Aunt Song, Mu Yong said unhappily, "After all, giving drugs is risky, and you never know when something could go wrong. Now that He'er dared to take out the drug, I think the effect will not be bad. With it, we don't have to be so scared to do such risky things in the future."

"You're right." Aunt Song laughed dryly and nodded awkwardly.

"I came here today specifically to tell you that it's done. You don't have to worry anymore, and you don't have to do unnecessary things. Otherwise, doing too many unnecessary things will arouse his suspicion."

After saying that, Mu Yong paused, glanced with regret at Aunt Song's always excellent figure and appearance, and swallowed his saliva.

As Mu Heng's most trusted confidant. Since Mu Heng was dying, how could he, who was so "considerate" of his master, act like a womanizer and keep slaves and maids for his own enjoyment to attract his attention? So over the years, he could only relieve himself when he secretly met Concubine Song. There was no need to see Concubine Song anymore, and he secretly regretted it. He still hardened his heart and said, "Now, even if he goes to someone else's yard and can't come, we can't meet again, otherwise it would be a big deal if he has another child."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Song Yi Niang meekly agreed, looking reluctant on the surface, but in fact she was eager to leave. Every time she faced Mu Yong, she couldn't help but feel fear from the bottom of her heart when she saw the scar on his face.

But when she thought of Mu Yong's various methods, even Mu Heng was calculated to death without knowing it. Concubine Song never dared to show her fear too obviously.

She hated and feared Mu Yong from the bottom of her heart.

But she was even more afraid. She was afraid that if she truly showed resistance and disgust towards Mu Yong, she wouldn't know when he would kill her silently.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 179 Again

Aunt Song knew that Mu Yong was capable of such a cruel heart.

He was a ruthless man who could even do this to himself, let alone her? If she violated his taboo, he would never let her go easily just because she gave birth to Mu Jinghe for him.

Thinking of his son Mu Jinghe, whom he had always been proud of, and his current situation, which had devastated him from heaven to hell, he had truly and completely lost the right to inherit the Yuejiang Marquisate.

Originally, it seemed that the plan that Mu Yong and I had been planning for many years was about to come true. It seemed that in just a few years, when He Er came of age, he could be appointed as the heir of Yuejiang Marquisate and naturally inherit the Marquisate in the future.

It was at this time that the Kuang family discovered that He'er was not their biological grandson.

In this way, even if she could find a way to persuade Yuejiang Hou to make her his legitimate wife, Mu Jinghe was born when she was a concubine, so he would always be a bastard.

Suddenly, the feeling of infinite pride that Aunt Song had felt before whenever she thought of Mu Jinghe's coming disappeared completely.

It's such a pity that this son is useless.

Aunt Song touched her belly, looked up at Mu Yong and said, "I'm pregnant again, and it's been more than a month. This one, I can guarantee it's yours. The Marquis took that medicine, so I'm afraid this child will only be our last."

Gnashing her teeth, Aunt Song couldn't help but say to Mu Yong hopefully, "According to the laws of our Dazhao, He'er can no longer inherit the Yuejiang Marquisate.

If I can be made the legal heir, and the baby in my belly is a boy, then he will be a legitimate heir when he is born. Isn't this safer than asking He Er to seek the title of successor, which he still doesn't know if he can get?"

"No, it's too risky. You can't keep this child. You'd better abort it as before." After staring at Aunt Song's belly for a long time, Mu Yong shook his head cruelly and said.

"Really, you can't stay?"

Touching her belly, Aunt Song showed a sad look on her face and cried softly, "Over the years, we have lost three children, and this one makes it four.

I really can't bear to part with our child. Even if I can't use him to make the Marquis the legitimate son, as long as I can give birth to him, he will still be just a bastard, and I will be willing in my heart. "

Acting more often will naturally make you more skilled. Aunt Song said this with such sincerity that Mu Yong had no doubt at all. Seeing her like this, his expression softened a lot, but he still did not change his mind and said firmly: "No."

Aunt Song: "."

She looked at Mu Yong with more and more tears in her eyes, feeling unwilling that her performance had been in vain.

"The Marquis has just taken the medicine. When the effect of the medicine comes out, he will find that he is indeed as incompetent as I said. It's nothing to say that she is pregnant at this time. Anyway, many women in his backyard have become pregnant over the years.

It's because not only them, but also you, have not had any children except He'er in these years. He is often powerless because of the drugs we gave him, so he believed what I said.

But this time, at this moment, if you finally gave birth to the child successfully, do you think he wouldn't be suspicious?"

Suppressing the tenderness that rose in his heart, Mu Yong became cold and hard again. He looked at Aunt Song with a gloomy face and said fiercely: "Do you really think that if he no longer believes in me, I can still cover the sky with one hand? For a fetus whose gender is not yet known, you want to kill yourself and implicate me and He'er?"

Chapter 180 Warning

Mu Yong's eyes became more fierce as he spoke: "Besides, how can you conclude that our He'er really can't inherit the Yuejiang Marquis Mansion?

Even if he is a bastard, as long as he has made great contributions, he is still qualified to be the Marquis of Yuejiang. Do you really not want him to get the Yuejiang Marquisate?"

Thinking about the other children that Concubine Song was pregnant with besides Mu Jinghe, even if she swore that they were hers, he couldn't really be sure whether they were his.

That's why he was unwilling to keep any of them over the years.

Thinking about how Concubine Song rejected Mu Jinghe so easily this time, she wanted to have another child. But this child might not be his at all, but Mu Heng's.

This child might ruin his years of planning, and Mu Yong's face twisted instantly.

"No, I haven't thought about it that way." Faced with Mu Yong's moodiness and sudden change of expression, Aunt Song was shocked and shook her head quickly. However, she didn't take it seriously in her heart and still had some hope.

"It's best if you don't think that way."

Mu Yong didn't mind that Concubine Song showed fear of him, but was rather proud of it. He nodded and looked at Concubine Song, as if he could see that she was still holding on to hope, and warned her, "Don't ignore my words.

Giving birth to this child will do more harm than good. Don't think that the Marquis will make you his legal wife if you give birth to this child. The Marquis hates you so much that he wants to kill you.

If I hadn't tried my best to speak up for you and protect you today, the Marquis would never have let you go, let alone handed over the stewardship to you."

Mu Yong became more and more proud as he spoke, and looked deeply at Concubine Song: "Now the hidden danger from the Marquis has been solved. It doesn't matter if he remarries. He can't give birth to either a legitimate son or a illegitimate son. From now on, the Yuejiang Marquisate can only belong to He'er.

Yuejiang Marquis Mansion follows Prince Yin. If Prince Yin succeeds, he will not watch our Yuejiang Marquis Mansion without a successor. Grace will definitely fall on He'er.

If Prince Yin fails, it is hard to say whether the entire Yuejiang Marquisate can escape unscathed. What's the point of fighting over legitimate sons and illegitimate sons? It's good enough to be able to keep your life."

"My Lord, my Lord, you still want to kill me?" Aunt Song was stunned and murmured, "How could it be possible?"

"Why not?"

Mu Yong looked at Concubine Song with a sneer, "Don't you know how much you've embarrassed the Marquis in front of the Kuang family and the people of the capital? The Marquis is even worried that the Emperor will dislike him because of this, and that he will also be disliked by Prince Yin, affecting his future.

Until I managed to pin the child swap onto the old lady. I also helped you clear the name of the childless women in the backyard over the years.

I made you sound innocent, like a poor person who was hiding something from the Marquis. The Marquis gave up the idea of killing you because you were He Er's biological mother."

He laughed several more times: "Didn't you get so spoiled by the Marquis these years that you forgot that he was actually using you to act?

Are you really so stupid as to take it seriously, thinking that the Marquis has some great affection for you? Do you still dare to hope to be made a proper wife of the Marquis of Yuejiang? Haha, don't really dare to think that.

Don't you think about what He'er will think if you give birth to another child? You have never been in the Marquis's heart. If He'er resents you again, what good results do you think you will have in the future?"
