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

the other side.

Lin Zhiyuan received Lu Huan.

He brought Luhuan, Zisu, Dawu and Xiaowu to a house in the south of the city.

This was just bought by his father.

Before, Lin Ge and Jiang Qingyue did business together and made a lot of money. He did not touch Jiang Qingyue's share, but took out his own share and bought a house for Jiang Qingyue.

The group walked in together.

"You guys stay here temporarily, waiting for your young lady to come out. If your young lady doesn't want to live here by then, you can buy another one.

"I bought a few servants temporarily. You can use them first. If you don't find them convenient, you can change them..."

Lin Zhiyuan explained everything one by one, and Lu Huan's eyes were wet.

"Thank you, cousin."

"What are you thanking me for? You are my master's people, so I will take care of you."

As they were talking, several people had already arrived at the front hall.

The guards helped Da Wu and Xiao Wu sit down, and Lin Zhiyuan looked at them:

"Your injuries are quite serious and must be bandaged by a doctor. I have already given instructions on the way back and the doctor will be here soon.

"Can you still hold on now?"

Da Wu and Xiao Wu both shook their heads: "It's okay. It's common for martial artists to get injured. It's no big deal. Don't worry, Master Lin."

"Well, now you all know about your young lady's situation. Since she's not here, I have something to ask her."

He glanced at a few people, and seeing that no one had any objections, he continued:

"Are your indentures in the hands of your masters or in the Marquis' Mansion?

"Lvhuan is a maid from the Jiang Mansion. Her indenture is naturally with your master. Where is yours?"

Zi Su was still crying at this time, still a little frightened. When she heard the question, she didn't react for a while.

Lu Huan took out a piece of paper from her sleeve and unfolded it.

"My cousin, this is Zi Su's indenture. The young lady has told me before that if anything happens to her, she should be given the indenture back. She is now free."

Hearing this, Zi Su covered her face and cried, unable to hold back her tears.

Lu Huan's eyes were wet too: "Cousin, you don't know, my slave's indenture was given to me by the young lady a long time ago, and it was I who wanted to stay with the young lady all the time."

Lin Zhiyuan frowned slightly, not because Jiang Qingyue gave him a contract to sell himself and could not control his subordinates, but because he always had a feeling that Jiang Qingyue had already planned for his affairs after his death.

It’s hard to imagine what she had been through to plan all these things so early.

Seeing this, Da Wu and Xiao Wu said, "We two brothers did not sign a contract to sell ourselves. We only signed to be helpers. We are not considered members of the Marquis' Mansion."

Lin Zhiyuan looked at the wounds on their bodies. Lu Huan thought of today's scene and was still frightened. She told Lin Zhiyuan how Da Wu and Xiao Wu followed their young lady.

Lin Zhiyuan nodded:

"I can see that you two brothers are loyal. You can't go back to the Marquis' Mansion now. If you don't mind, you can work for our Lin Mansion. Because of today's incident, the Lin Mansion will compensate you for all the losses you suffered.

"And since you helped them today, I will also give you an extra sum of money as a thank you."

Da Wu and Xiao Wu looked at each other and shook their heads:

“What we did today was what we did spontaneously, not for Master Ling’s gratitude, but because the Madam treated us well, so naturally we should protect her people.

"We haven't thought about going to the Lin Mansion. We want to wait for Madam to come back. If Madam is still willing to take us in, then we will stay with Madam. If Madam is unwilling to take us with her, we will make plans then."

Lin Zhiyuan looked at them with admiration in his eyes:

"Okay, let's wait until your master comes back and see."

"There is one more thing. Your master has divorced the prince of the Marquis' Mansion. From now on, don't call her Madam anymore. Just call her Miss."

The two looked surprised, obviously they didn't know about this matter. After hearing this, they immediately answered, "Yes."

The doctor came quickly and treated Dawu and Xiaowu's injuries.

Lin Zhiyuan made all the arrangements, left a few people behind, and then left.

We sat together and ate some food, and I finally felt relieved, as if I had finally come back to life.

After dinner, Luhuan and Zisu prepared to clean up the main courtyard.

This way, when the lady comes out, she will have a place to stay.

Da Wu and Xiao Wu also want to help.

Lu Huan stopped them: "You are injured now, you should rest well."

But the two of them refused to do anything.

"Who knows if the Marquis' Mansion will send someone to do something again? We have to stay here to feel at ease."

When Zi Su heard the word Marquis' Mansion, she felt a surge of fear and subconsciously hid behind Lu Huan.

"Don't worry, they don't dare to come here."

"Who can say for sure? We'd better stay here and guard it.

"You don't have to worry about us. We are two tough brothers. Besides, we have already taken medicine, so we will be fine. We will not feel at ease if you don't let us watch over us."

Seeing that they insisted, Lu Huan had no choice but to give up.

He moved two stools and asked them to sit at the door, while he and Zi Su started to clean up the yard.

"This Marquis's Mansion is really inhumane. How could they do such a thing? They even want to embezzle the young lady's dowry. Aren't they afraid that the young lady's family will confront them?"

When it comes to the Marquis' Mansion, everyone feels itchy.

"They just took advantage of the young lady's kindness and felt that she had no family to rely on, and that doing such things would always damage a woman's reputation. They thought that the young lady would not make a big fuss. If she did, the prince of the marquisate could remarry at will, but it would be extremely difficult for our young lady to remarry.

"And they can definitely say that the young lady spent it herself. Anyway, as long as the people in the mansion don't tell anyone about what happened in the mansion, no one would know. In this kind of thing, the woman always suffers."

"The Marquis' Mansion is so shameless. How could a dignified Marquis' Mansion do such a thing? Are the people in this wealthy family really evil?"

"It doesn't mean that rich families have evil hearts. It depends on what kind of people they are. Whether they are rich or small, there are people with good hearts and people with evil hearts."

"It's horrible. Fortunately, the young lady has escaped from the cage. Otherwise, according to the situation, the young lady would be eaten by them without leaving any residue."

"Yes, yes, it's a good thing that we're divorced. From now on, whether you live at home or behind closed doors, your life will be better than that in the Marquis' Mansion."

"Yes, yes. Anyway, let's clean up the house so that when the young lady comes back, she will have a place to stay and hot meals to eat."

Zi Su thought for a moment and responded:

"I said, it's no big deal if you don't get married, we'll always be with the young lady."

Lu Huan looked at her and smiled: "We'll talk about this later. We'll make plans after the young lady comes out.

"Anyway, I support whatever the young lady does. If the young lady wants to get married, I will go with her. If the young lady doesn't want to get married, I will accompany her. If the young lady wants to live somewhere else, I will follow her."

Zi Su quickly raised her hand and said, "And me, and me. Don't forget me no matter what. I will follow you for the rest of my life."

"Okay, okay, then hurry up and clean it up. When the lady comes back, she'll see that you've cleaned it up well, and if she says it's not good, she'll agree."

"Okay, I'm definitely serious."

Seeing her nimble movements, Lu Huan laughed.

In fact, before today, she didn't think there was anything special about Zi Su and the other maids, but today, when she saw her desperately guarding the yard, she realized the difference.

He was obviously scared to death and was beaten, but he still stood there stupidly.

I knew it, the person the lady chooses must be the best.

At the door, Da Wu and Xiao Wu glanced to the side:

"If the young lady is willing to take me in, I would also like to follow her."

"Me too. We have nowhere to go anyway."

"We should start a family in the future."

"We are both homeless and have nothing right now, so we should forget about it and don't hurt the girl."

"Who can say what will happen in the future?"

"Then we'll talk about it later when we can."

"Don't think too much. Let's just take good care of our injuries. When the young lady comes out, if she lets us stay, she'll be able to use us."

"it is good."

While Xiao Wu was talking, he glanced into the yard, his eyes fell on Zi Su, and then he quickly turned his head away, with a slight blush on his ears.

Lin Zhiyuan left the house and went straight back to the Lin Mansion.

Today he went to pick up Lu Huan and was supposed to go back, but thinking that it was his cousin who had specifically entrusted her with this, he was still a little worried, so he thought of sending her to the new house.

I never expected that I would encounter such a thing.

He was sure that if he had not shown up, the two brothers would have died.

And the two maids would probably not be able to leave the Marquis’ Mansion.

The door they came out of was a side door. When they came out of the side door, they had to pass through a door next to it. Many guards were already waiting there, guarding the alley.

When Lin Zhiyuan returned to the Lin Mansion and told these things to Lin Que and Lin Ge, they were both furious.

"This Marquis's Mansion really has no dignity at all. How is this different from robbery? They want to rob their daughter-in-law's dowry, but if they can't get it, they want to kill people to silence them?"

Lin Que finally understood why Jiang Qingyue wanted to divorce him the last time she came back to the Lin Mansion.

The Marquis' Mansion is really not a place for people to stay.

Lin Ge was even more furious.

“No wonder the Jiang family is unwilling to acknowledge this marriage, and Madam Jiang also insists on changing the bride. I’m afraid she already knew that the Marquis’ Mansion is not a good place.

"If that's the case, just cancel the engagement. Why push Yue'er into the fire pit just for the sake of Wei's face? Although Jiang Shuo is a minister, he is not worthy of being a father."

He looked at Lin Que: "You also went to see him today. What did he say? Did he say he would stand up for Yue'er?"

When Lin Que heard him ask this question, his face looked very ugly.

Seeing his expression, Lin Ge guessed that he had failed miserably:

"Why, you haven't even seen him?"

Lin Que didn't say anything, which meant he agreed with what he said.

Lin Ge snorted coldly, and was very angry: "This Jiang Shuo..."

He couldn't say the following words, but Jiang Shuo could do it.

"This is not about being kind to my daughter, this is clearly about being kind to my enemy. People say that even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. How could he do such a thing?"

"Forget it. There is nothing much to say about him. The most urgent thing now is to get Yue girl out."

Having said that, the two of them looked at Lin Zhiyuan.

Yesterday, Lin Zhiyuan went to see Jiang Qingyue and came back to tell them those words.

I really couldn't believe that Jiang Qingyue would say that.

"I always feel like Yue'er is hiding something from us."

"I think so too. She doesn't let us intervene. Is she afraid of bringing trouble to the Lin family?"

"I think so, too. But seeing how confident she is, I dare not act rashly. What if it is really as she said: If we do nothing, she may be fine, but if we do something, she will definitely die. If something goes wrong, I am afraid we will not be able to sleep well for the rest of our lives."

"We still have to do something. Yue'er is a woman, what plans can she have? She is just worried about the Lin family."

"What if? What if what she said is true? What if we move and something goes wrong?"

The room fell silent and no one spoke.

"In this case, we won't do anything, but we can go and find out. If we find out anything, we can discuss it."

"This is the best. The Lin family is indeed insignificant, but we must do our best to do what we can."

"it is good."

At this moment, the butler came in and hurriedly reported to the few people:

"It's bad, it's bad. People say that my cousin murdered the imperial concubine. The evidence is irrefutable. She will be executed on a certain day."

"what……"

All three of them stood up from their chairs with shocked expressions.

Lin Zhiyuan walked forward quickly: "What did you say? Say it again."

The butler said it again in a hurry.

"Is the news true? Is it just gossip, or has someone spread the news by mistake?"

"It should be true. The Dali Temple has issued a notice and the official document will be issued soon.

"The Imperial Concubine's body was also found. It was smashed beyond recognition and its bones were gnawed by wild beasts. I heard that the Emperor was grief-stricken.

"Moreover, the Dali Temple found an eyewitness outside the city. A hunter was standing opposite the Moon Viewing Terrace to rest at the time. He saw with his own eyes that our cousin pushed the Imperial Concubine off the cliff, causing her death."

The three of them looked at each other and saw in each other's eyes that something was wrong.

The Dali Temple has issued an official document, which means that there is both witnesses and evidence, the evidence is conclusive and cannot be changed.

Lin Que was about to go out immediately.

"where are you going?"

"I'll go to the Jiang family. Jiang Shuo is Yue'er's father. He can't just watch Yue'er die."

Lin Que walked straight out the door.

"Father, I'm going to the Dali Temple to take a look. I went to see Yue'er yesterday. Although Yue'er told us not to interfere, I am sure that she did not do this.

"I'll go find out who was involved in this matter. Maybe I can find a solution."

Lin Ge watched Lin Zhiyuan leave with a serious expression.

After a while, he asked someone to call his wife, Su.

I told Su everything that had happened just now.

After hearing this, Su was horrified:

"You mean... Yue'er is going to be executed? How is that possible? How could it be..."

"The Dali Temple is handling the case, and we have no say in it. Now we need to prepare for the worst.

"If Yue'er is really going to be executed, I hope you can go there, give her a bath, and then give her a decent one. The prison in the Dali Temple is not a good place. Yue'er is a woman after all..."

At this point, Lin Ge's voice was choked with sobs, and Su had already started crying.

"I've made a note of it, I'll go prepare it now.

"This child has a really miserable life..."
