Reborn as the crippled king's favorite

Chapter 160: Filial piety suppressed Murong Man to death

The second wife and the third wife were making jokes, even if they did not agree to break off the engagement, they would say all kinds of unpleasant things.

When something unexpected happened, they were already feeling uncomfortable and angry.

In fact, they wanted to scold Murong Man more because something happened to their eldest brother, Wang's evil deeds, and the second and third maids were implicated.

But because Murong Man was liked by the second prince and would become his concubine in the future, how could they dare to offend her?

But they didn't expect that the marriage they had agreed to before would immediately break off the engagement, which made them full of anger. When they cursed, they also meant to accuse Sanghuai.

The other boys' faces gradually turned ugly as they listened to them talking like slaves.

Among them, a young boy from the Chen family sneered:

"We are dog slaves, but what do you, the Murong family, mean to you? Who in the capital doesn't know that the eldest wife, the Wang family, is full of evildoers. The Queen of Autumn asked to be executed. Your house was ransacked and you couldn't take out a penny in your pocket. You are not as good as me, a slave." What's more! What's more, I, a slave, come from a pure family background!"

After saying that, the boy threw the token on the ground and left without looking back.

The other boys also sneered a few times, threw down the tokens, and said: "You can no longer compete with our young master, so you should be smarter."

Not to mention the ugly faces of the second and third ladies, Murong Man's face was also extremely ugly.

The marriages of the Chen family were only recently decided because she was given the title of the second prince's concubine, and these people wanted to curry favor with the Marquis.

But now they are directly breaking up, which shows that they are afraid of being influenced by the Murong family.

One can imagine how bad the Murong family's reputation in the capital has become after most of the day has passed.

It was so bad that they were no longer willing to worry about the second prince.

Besides, she is not the main concubine, but a side concubine. With Wang as the sinful mother, her reputation will definitely not be good.

She was a talented and cold beauty in the capital. Her good reputation for so many years was completely destroyed in one day.

When people mention her, they only think of her vicious mother, Mrs. Wang.

Thinking that she also has a half-sister, Fu Baozhu, who was born to her mother and the housekeeper Tou Qing!

Murong Man's hands hidden in his sleeves were trembling slightly.

In one day, she seemed to fall from the sky to the ground.

She wanted to find the second prince.

But she was still awake in her heart. The second prince must also be very angry at this time. If Fu Baozhu's identity had not been revealed, the emperor would have granted marriage to Na Kesi and Fu Baozhu by now, and the emperor would have begun to be suspicious of General Fu.

She couldn't look for the second prince when he was angry. He had to let the second prince realize how pitiful she was and take her to the second prince's residence in advance.

Murong Man tightened his grip on the 200 taels of silver notes in his hand and decided to buy a small yard first. It was impossible to really let a large family live in an inn and spend more money in vain.

It is definitely unaffordable here in the East Market. The yards here cost hundreds or even thousands of taels, and they are all residences of nobles. In the West Market, they are common people's residences, and the prices are relatively cheap.

In the end, they still didn't buy a yard, so they spent 80 taels to rent a large yard in Xishi for three months.

The reason is that there are too many of them. There are dozens of owners, and including the servants who have children in the family, there are more than 40 people.

200 taels of silver simply can't afford a big yard that can accommodate so many people.

But although this courtyard is large, it is far inferior to the Hou Mansion. It is so crowded that there are not even enough beds to sleep on, and the servants have to make beds on the floor.

Murong Man asked the second wife and the third wife to sell all the servants in the house, and they should be able to get more than a hundred taels of silver.

After all, a family has to spend money to eat and drink.

I have to buy all the mattresses, pots and pans.

<divclass="contentadv">The second lady was the first to give up: "How can this work! All the slaves who were not sold before have run away, and now there are only a dozen or so children left to serve us. If they are all sold, what will happen to us in the future? Who will serve you!"

The third lady also disagreed.

They are used to being served by slaves. It is impossible for them to work on their own without touching their fingers.

Murong Man's expression turned cold:

"Second aunt and third aunt, do you have the money to support so many mouths? You haven't seen what's going on at home. If we don't work together now, will there be a chance to turn around in the future?"

The two of them did not dare to say anything. No matter how resentful they were, they did not dare to speak out. After all, the Hou Mansion was like this, and they had to count on Murong Man to help them in the future.

The second lady had no choice but to say: "Man'er, it's not that we don't want to work together, it's just that we don't know how to do anything. Let's do this. We will only sell a few slaves, and then I will go back to my parents' house, and your third aunt will go back too. Look Can you spare some money?"

Murong Man's expression softened slightly.

However, after the second wife and the third wife went back, they came back empty-handed soon after.

It turns out that as early as when the Hou Mansion was defeated, the two of them often went back to their parents' home to play in the autumn wind. Over the years, they collected a lot of money to fill the public accounts.

It was their parents who saw how pitiful they were and secretly gave them some money to hide and spend secretly later.

Murong Man didn't know their little thoughts, because she was taking care of the old lady at this time.

The old lady received acupuncture at the hospital, drank some decoction, and was prescribed several medicines before she came back. Naturally, it was Murong Man who provided the money.

The old lady seemed to have aged ten years, her face was full of wrinkles, and her cloudy eyes had a look of resentment.

She cursed Wang constantly.

Those who kill with a thousand cuts, those who chop their heads off, those who kill with broomsticks, etc., they are all gnashing their teeth and cursing incessantly.

Murong Man bit his lip, his face was green and white, but the old lady just let her serve.

"Your damn mother caused such misery to our Murong family. She actually killed the old Marquis. You are her daughter, so you should atone for her sins! From now on, when you become the second prince's concubine, you should also Serve me with all your heart, this is filial piety!"

A "filial piety" can suppress Murong Man to death.

She values ​​her reputation most and doesn't dare to ignore it, otherwise she will leave today and not care about everyone's life or death.

In the past, the old lady used her filial piety to suppress Murong Jiu and asked her to spend money for the Hou Mansion. Now the person being squeezed has become Murong Man.

"Grandma, someone like Wang is unworthy of being my mother. I hate her too. I am willing to serve you. You should get well soon."

Murong Man said softly, hoping that the old lady would not be too mean to her.

The old lady didn't buy it, and snorted coldly: "You are going to the Second Prince's Mansion soon. Do you think you won't have to worry about this mess after you leave? I tell you, don't even think about it!"

Murong Man's face turned pale.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door from outside.

If it were in the Hou Mansion, the sounds outside the gate would not reach the owner's residence, but this is in the rented yard, and the sounds of hawkers can even be heard in the alley outside.

"Open the door! Open the door quickly! I am Fu Baozhu, I am looking for my sister Murong Man! If you don't open the door, I will not leave at the door today!"

The person who knocked on the door was actually Fu Baozhu!

The old lady gritted her teeth with hatred: "Okay, how dare this little bitch come to your door! Let me see if I don't beat her to death!"
