Three families hire each other, the mistress of the marquisate accidentally offends the treacherous

In the room, as soon as Jiang Qingyue entered the door, the expression on her face immediately restrained.

He gestured to Shisu to close the door, sat down at the table and poured himself a cup of tea.

Lu Huan's voice rang out from outside: "Prince, please stay. Madam is in a bad mood right now. It's better not to add fuel to the fire."

Outside, Xue Feimu was about to enter when he was stopped by Lu Huan. His expression froze, and he felt a little embarrassed. The words he said also had a hint of scolding:

"It's just a few verbal disputes. There's really no need to make such a big deal out of it. As a mistress, you should be more tolerant and forgiving."

Seeing Xue Feimu talking without any pain in his waist while standing, Lu Huan couldn't help it:

"The prince only listened to a few words from her and concluded that it was the lady who was exaggerating and unwilling to give in, but he did not care what kind of injustice the lady had suffered and could not forgive her for just a few words.

"Forgive me for saying something out of line. If Madam had not been tolerant and forgiving, the Marquis' Mansion today would definitely not be what it is today. My cousin is so aggressive, and the First Madam defends her without asking any questions, which is fine, but she also finds fault with Madam and uses filial piety to suppress her. She is ungrateful and denies all the efforts Madam has made for the Marquis' Mansion over the past few years.

"If they hadn't gone too far, Madam wouldn't have done this. Madam really couldn't stand it any longer. But the prince only listened to one side of the story and defined the matter as a trivial quarrel. Is he trying to prove that Madam is used to making a fuss over nothing and has no tolerance?

"No wonder Madam is so disappointed. After all, the cousin is an outsider, and the eldest wife is like this, and the prince is also like this. How should Madam deal with it?"

Lu Huan finished speaking in one breath without stopping at all. Xue Feimu's expression changed after listening to him.

He paused for a long time, looked towards the house, trembling with his lips, but finally gave up.

He sighed and said, "I'll come to see you later."

He asked the servant to push him away.

Sun Xiaoxiao behind him also had a bad look on her face. She said nothing, feeling very nervous, and followed him away.

When they were some distance away from Wutong Courtyard, Xue Feimu stopped and asked Sun Xiaoxiao behind him:

"What happened that day? You just said that she scolded you and beat you. Why?"

Sun Xiaoxiao knew she was in the wrong and didn't dare look at Xue Feimu. She stammered and couldn't utter a word.

Xue Feimu lost his patience: "You'd better tell me everything without making any mistakes. If I send someone to investigate and find that what I told you is different, you will not be allowed to come to the Marquis' Mansion from now on."

"No, cousin, I..."

Sun Xiaoxiao bit her lip, feeling so aggrieved that she was about to cry.

How could her cousin be so mean to her?

But she didn't dare to disobey. If her cousin really didn't let her come, she would cry to death.

After struggling for a while, Sun Xiaoxiao finally told the story.

Nothing was hidden.

Firstly, too many people saw this incident at the time, and she couldn't hide it at all; secondly, she felt that Xue Feimu would not do anything to her. She had slandered Jiang Qingyue and had conflicts with Jiang Qingyue more than once or twice. It was fine before, and it is naturally fine now. It's just that things got to this point, and her cousin had to express his stance.

If she were to say, Jiang Qingyue would just not care about the household chores and would just hand it over to her when she got home, and everyone would be happy.

Thinking of this, Sun Xiaoxiao was not worried at all, but instead felt a little happy.

After hearing this, Xue Feimu's face turned grim.

Although Sun Xiaoxiao said that, based on his understanding of Sun Xiaoxiao, the matter must be more serious.

No wonder Jiang Qingyue was angry. Just the current situation sounded too much to him, let alone other things.

"So what happened with the mother?"

After Sun Xiaoxiao told him everything, Xue Feimu thought the situation was more serious than what she said.

"You guys really went a little too far."

Sun Xiaoxiao's hostility towards Jiang Qingyue was much less at this time. After hearing Xue Feimu's words, she felt a little embarrassed, but she didn't want to admit her mistake, so she argued:

"I was just saying it casually, who would have thought she would take it seriously."

Seeing that Sun Xiaoxiao had no intention of repenting, Xue Feimu raised his hand and pressed his fingertips between her eyebrows:

"Be more respectful to your cousin's wife in the future. After all, she is the mistress of the Marquis's Mansion. If you don't respect her, you are also not respecting the Marquis's Mansion.

"It's even more inappropriate to have such an argument in front of so many people outside."

Sun Xiaoxiao was a little unconvinced by the scolding, but she still lowered her head and replied, "I understand."

If Xue Feimu had said this before, she would have hated Jiang Qingyue to the core.

But now, her hostility towards Jiang Qingyue had almost disappeared, and she even felt a hint of sympathy.

If Jiang Qingyue had not still occupied the position of the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion, she would have wanted to comfort her properly. It was really too miserable.

Xue Feimu saw that she responded quickly, and he didn't know whether she really listened to him, so he gave her a few more instructions before saying:

"Forget it, go and accompany your mother."

It was true that Sun did not give Jiang Qingyue respect just now, but no matter what, she was his mother and he could not blame her.

Sun Xiaoxiao replied yes and walked away reluctantly towards Sun's courtyard.

The servant pushed Xue Feimu back to Shuming Courtyard.

"Sir, what should we do with this key account book?"

Xue Feimu looked embarrassed.

It's unrealistic to send her to Sun's place, because Sun doesn't know how to do it. The old lady is so old, it's not good to let her take care of her. As for Jiang Qingyue...

"Put it aside for now. After a few days, when Madam's anger has subsided, I will go to Wutong Courtyard and have a good talk with Madam. Then I will hand over the household expenses to her, and the matter will be over."

"Yes." The servant settled him and retreated.

Xue Feimu lay on the bed, ready to rest for a while.

But my mind was thinking about what had just happened.

He suddenly discovered that Jiang Qingyue was not only good-looking but also very capable.

In this marquis's mansion, apart from Jiang Qingyue, there is no one else who can manage the household expenses.

Thinking of what the old lady told him when he just came back about what Jiang Qingyue had done for the Marquis' Mansion, he felt a pang of sadness in his heart.

Jiang Qingyue was much better than he had imagined, and the image of Jiang Qingyue in his mind suddenly became more three-dimensional.

Putting aside other things, Jiang Qingyue is a qualified mistress of a marquis's mansion.

Although their marriage was arranged by some strange coincidences, it can also be said to be a match made in heaven.

Xue Feimu was thinking and fell asleep in a daze.

Bai Wei came in, filled the room with incense, prepared hot tea, and stood by, waiting for Xue Feimu to wake up.

When there was no one around, she dared to look at Xue Feimu's face quietly, and felt happy.

The prince is of noble status and is also so handsome. If she can win his favor, she will be able to rise to the top and become a phoenix.

Now, she has the support of his wife and the prince does not dislike her. With time, she will surely get what she wants.

The more Bai Wei thought about it, the more excited she became. She was already thinking about which courtyard would be better if she became the master in the future.

On the other side, the eldest wife saw Sun Xiaoxiao coming back and asked about what happened in Wutong Courtyard. Sun Xiaoxiao said a few vague words casually.

She had no interest in Wutong Courtyard at all now. She was more interested in the favored Aunt Chu.

"Don't worry about it, Aunt. My cousin said he would take care of it, so just let him go. Why should we worry about it?

"Aunt, is there a concubine in the mansion? Was she brought back from the border by my cousin?"

Sun knew what she was thinking. When she asked this question, she knew what she meant. She sighed and replied:

"good."

"Aunt, do you know that this aunt is pregnant?"

"What, pregnant..."

Sun was stunned, then a happy smile appeared on her face: "That's great, Mu'er has a successor, this is a great joyous event."

She originally didn't like Chu Wan'er very much, but when she heard that she was pregnant, she felt that she was a blessed person, and there was a bit of joy on her face when she talked about her.

Sun Xiaoxiao curled her lips when she saw Sun's appearance.

"Aunt, many servants in the mansion know about this matter, but you didn't hear anything at all..."

Sun Xiaoxiao stopped talking abruptly, and nothing else was said. The expression on Sun's face froze.

Then, an angry look appeared on his face, as if someone had stepped on his tail.

It would be bad enough if Jiang Qingyue had a bad attitude, but even a concubine of the Chu family dared to neglect her. It was really despicable.

The more Sun thought about it, the angrier he became.

In her opinion, Chu's pregnancy was such a big deal that she shouldn't have been informed first, but the maids shouldn't have known about it, but she didn't hear a single word about it.

She has been guarding the Marquis' Mansion for so many years. As the biological mother of the Marquis's son, doesn't she even have this little right?

Sun Xiaoxiao saw the anger on Sun's face and was secretly happy that she had achieved her goal:

"Aunt, do you think there is something fishy going on here? Why don't we go and take a look? After all, it's a big deal for my cousin to have a child."

"If anyone wants to see her, she should come. She is Mu'er's concubine. How can she have the face to let me see her?"

"That's true. Then let's call her over and ask her in detail. Why did she not tell my aunt about such a big thing? What's her intention?"

Sun immediately sent two maids.

While waiting, Sun Xiaoxiao kept applying eye drops to Chu Wan'er.

Chu Wan'er hasn't arrived yet, but Sun's impression of her has already deteriorated a lot.

Not long after, people arrived.

Sun sat in the first seat, acting like a mother-in-law. She looked at Chu Wan'er who came in from outside, her eyes fixed on her belly.

Sun Xiaoxiao, who was sitting nearby and watching, looked at her from head to toe with a hostile look on her face.

Is this the vixen? She pretends to be so fragile, trying to seduce someone.

She is really not presentable. She will use any shameless method to seduce men.

Chu Wan'er, who came in from outside, was shocked when she saw this scene.

She was complaining in her heart. She had just laid down for a while when she was called up in a daze, saying that the eldest wife wanted to see her.

The eldest wife was the most indifferent to things. Why did she want to see her at this time? Was she going to blame her for not protecting the baby in her belly?

Chu Wan'er had a bad premonition in her heart, and she always felt that she was going to suffer today.

I just pray that the prince will come soon.

When she came here just now, she was scared and asked someone to secretly inform the prince.

Chu Wan'er suppressed her emotions and walked into the door tremblingly.

She bowed to Sun and said, "I greet you, Madam."

This was the etiquette her nanny taught her before she came to Beijing: half-squat, bent knees, and folded hands at her sides.

She performed this ceremony very carefully, fearing that she might make a mistake, and followed the rules very well.

But after squatting for a long time, she didn't hear the eldest wife calling her to get up, and she felt something was wrong.

I'm afraid the person who comes today has bad intentions.

She had just lost her child and had not had enough rest. If she continued standing like this, she felt she would faint at any moment.

If she was in front of Xue Feimu, she would faint if she said so, but she didn't dare to do so in front of the first wife.

Otherwise, there will be no good days in the future, so we have to hold on no matter what.

Seeing that Chu Wan'er was staggering and unable to hold on, Sun said as if to pardon her: "Get up."

After all, she is pregnant with her grandson, so she can't do anything too much. It would be difficult to deal with if something happened.

Although Sun thought so, after asking Chu Wan'er to stand up, she had no intention of letting her sit down.

"Yes."

Chu Wan'er felt as if she had been pardoned. She stood up, her back already covered in cold sweat.

She stood motionless to one side, fearing that one wrong step would bring disaster.

"Are you Aunt Chu from the border?" Sun Xiaoxiao asked, emphasizing the word "Aunt".

Chu Wan'er's heart skipped a beat when she heard the overwhelming hostility.

Only then did Chu Wan'er notice Sun Xiaoxiao next to her.

I don't know who she is, but she dares to speak like this in front of Sun, and Sun hasn't stopped her yet. She must be someone she can't afford to offend.

"Yes." Chu Wan'er lowered her eyebrows and looked pleasant, without any temper at all.

"You just arrived in Beijing and you want to be a co-wife?"

Such questions made Chu Wan'er tremble with fear.

Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he didn't know who the visitor was or what his intentions were.

But she was sure that the other party was not kind to her.

"Your Highness is a man of integrity and righteousness. Wan'er feels ashamed to accept your kindness."

Chu Wan'er had no idea what the person in front of her was thinking, so she could only give an ambiguous answer and try her best to put the blame on Xue Feimu to show her innocence.

"Oh, if you really knew that you didn't deserve it, your cousin wouldn't have said anything about it. It's a vixen like you who seduced your cousin and is still so hypocritical. It's okay for you to pretend in front of your cousin, but there's no need to pretend in front of us."

After hearing this, no matter how stupid Chu Wan'er was, she understood that the person speaking in front of her must be one of the prince's admirers.

Hearing her calling the Crown Prince "cousin", I thought she must be the Crown Prince's cousin, the first wife's family.

She was speaking so harshly to her, calling her a foxy girl, and Sun had no intention of stopping her. With such a talkative cousin who liked the prince causing trouble, she was afraid that she would be punished badly today.

Chu Wan'er thought about all this and felt extremely miserable.

Sun Xiaoxiao pressed him with question after question, causing him to feel weak and almost unable to stand.

He lowered his head and quietly wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief.

This invisible and inexplicable pressure made her regretful. It seemed that her decision to return to Beijing was wrong.

She felt extremely helpless and prayed over and over again in her heart that the prince would come and rescue her soon.

Sun Xiaoxiao was furious when she saw her shaky and fragile appearance.

"My cousin is not here. Who are you showing this to? We can't feel sorry for your weak appearance."

"No... no, it's just that I'm weak and can't live up to expectations."

"Hmph, it's good to know."

Sun Xiaoxiao was really displeased to see her like this and wanted to tease her a bit, but was stopped by Sun.

After all, Chu is still pregnant, so she has to be careful and not go too far.

"Okay, sit down and talk."

"Yes, thank you, Madam."

Chu Wan'er did not dare to be careless, for fear of offending the eldest wife and cousin. She didn't know if it was because she had been standing for too long or because she was too nervous, but after she took a step, her eyes became dizzy, her body went limp, and she fainted.
