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

Zhongyong Hou Mansion.

Nanny Li turned Wutong Courtyard upside down, but the total value of the things she found was less than 100 taels.

She cleared out the things on top of the box and brought them to the old lady.

The old lady looked at these things and threw a cup onto the edge of the box.

"Why are you sending beggars away with just these things?"

Nanny Li lowered her head and dared not speak.

She had no way of reasoning with the old lady, who acted as if she just felt justified in stealing other people's things.

"Have you found the two maids?"

"They were taken away by the young master of the Lin family. I'm afraid they entered the Lin Mansion."

"Lin family?

"Humph, the small Lin family actually dared to go against the Marquis' Mansion, how bold they are.

“Let someone tell Mu’er about this. When we have the chance, we must trample the Lin family under our feet and let them know what the consequences will be if they go against the Marquis’ Mansion.

"What the hell? Do you really think that the Marquis's Mansion has fallen into decline, and that every little cat and dog will come and step on it.

"The Marquis' Mansion will not let this matter go, and will never let them go.

"Go, keep looking. The dowry was still in the mansion last time. It's only been a month, it's impossible for it to disappear. Go and call Aunt Bai. She has served Jiang Qingyue for so long, maybe she knows something."

Soon Bai Wei was brought up.

When Bai Wei saw the old lady, she didn't dare to raise her head and kowtowed in greeting.

The old lady glanced at her with contempt in her eyes.

Without beating around the bush, he asked directly:

"Where is Jiang Qingyue's dowry?"

Bai Wei lowered her head and answered honestly:

"In reply to the old lady, the young lady's dowry is placed in the storeroom next door, and the key should be in Lu Huan's hands."

Today, everyone in the mansion knew that Nanny Li was looking for something, and she also heard about the commotion in Wutong Courtyard. Now, as soon as she heard the old lady's questions, she could guess the old lady's purpose, but she had to pretend to be confused.

"Besides the storeroom, where else could it be placed? Could it be placed somewhere in the mansion? Or could it be placed in her shop?"

Bai Wei looked more and more confused the more she listened, not knowing what the old lady meant. "No, the young lady's dowry has always been kept in the storehouse. Some of it was used in the past, but the rest is also kept in the storehouse. Last time, she said that the old lady returned all the dowry that had been used, and it was me who put those things in the storehouse myself."

"Did you put it there yourself?" The old lady felt a pang of pain when she thought of the last time she personally returned the dowry to Jiang Qingyue.

"It was put there by the servant herself."

"Then why not now?"

Bai Wei looked at the old lady's furious expression and hurriedly explained, kowtowing vigorously: "Please spare me, old lady. I didn't do it. I know nothing. This matter has nothing to do with me."

Bai Wei knew that the most powerful person in the backyard was the old lady. She absolutely could not go against the old lady or try to be clever, which would simply be courting death.

It would be best if the old lady didn't take her seriously, so that she, a little concubine, could be safe.

The old lady looked at her like this with a look of disgust on her face: "This is really something that is not worthy of being shown on the table.

"Go take a look at Wutong Courtyard and see if you can find anything."

"Yes, I will go right away. Once I have any news, I will report back to the old lady immediately."

Although the old lady looked down on her, she was still very satisfied with her attitude and waved her hand casually to signal her to go down.

Nanny Li noticed the gazes falling on her and stood up, "Madam, in my opinion, the dowry should probably be shipped out."

The old lady snorted coldly.

Still don't want to believe this result.

The last time she said this, it was purely for Xue Feimu to hear, so that Xue Feimu would resent Jiang Qingyue.

In fact, she didn't believe that Jiang Qingyue had made arrangements in advance, and she didn't think she would have no idea that she had misjudged someone.

“What a vicious mind.

"She actually started to be wary of the Marquis' Mansion from that time. I think it was definitely not the general's intention to ask for the dowry at that time. She borrowed the general's name to take her own dowry back."

The old lady's angry expression was evident.

Xue Feimu's voice was heard from outside. The old lady waved her hand to the crowd, and Nanny Li led the servants out.

Seeing Xue Feimu enter the room, the old lady asked:

"What happened? Why the rush?"

Xue Feimu poured himself a cup of tea, drank it in one gulp, then looked at the old lady and said:

"The Dali Temple just issued a notice that Jiang Qingyue plotted to murder the imperial concubine. There are witnesses and evidence. He can no longer deny it and will be executed on a certain day."

When he said these words, he still felt a little scared.

"Choose a day to execute him?"

The old lady was stunned for a while: "Is it true?"

Xue Feimu also showed an expression of disbelief on his face and nodded with difficulty.

The old lady laughed and said, "That's really God's will. The divorce was arranged at the perfect time. Otherwise, the charges would have been brought and our mansion would have been in big trouble. It was a close call."

Xue Feimu also felt quite emotional:

"Yes, it's just that short. If it's one day later, it will be troublesome."

The old lady immediately instructed: "Don't get involved in this matter, just pretend you don't know. If outsiders mention it, just pretend to be heartbroken and say you didn't expect her to do such a thing. Don't say or do anything else. You have already divorced, and Jiang Qingyue has nothing to do with the Marquis' Mansion."

"Yes, I'm afraid the Jiang family will blame me."

"Blame? What right does he have to blame? People outside only know that Jiang Qingyue was the one who proposed the divorce agreement. He can't blame the Marquis' Mansion.

"Let's take a step back and blame him. Jiang Qingyue has committed such a serious crime and everyone is avoiding her. Let him blame her if he wants. What's more important is to protect the Marquis' Mansion."

Just when he said this, Xue Feimu's servant came in hurriedly and reported the news. After hearing this, Xue Feimu was shocked again and his expression changed.

The old lady asked anxiously: "What? What happened again?"

Xue Feimu paused and said:

"It's the Jiang Mansion."

"What happened to the Jiang Mansion? Are the Jiang Family going to cause trouble for the Marquis Mansion?" The old lady looked worried.

But Xue Feimu shook his head:

"No, it was Minister Jiang who severed his father-daughter relationship with Jiang Qingyue and expelled Jiang Qingyue from the family tree. From then on, the Jiang family no longer had a daughter named Jiang Qingyue."

The old lady breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this:

"Just don't cause trouble for the Marquis' Mansion."

After he finished speaking, he reacted and said, "Pooh!"

"Jiang Qingyue deserved it. She had to suffer this fate because of her own fault. It's a good thing you divorced her, otherwise you would have been laughed at.

Xue Feimu responded casually, found an excuse, bowed to the old lady, and left.

He originally thought that he would feel refreshed when he saw such news, but in fact, when he saw the news, he felt strange.

Thinking of Jiang Qingyue's beautiful face, I suddenly felt a sense of pity.

It's a very complicated and strange feeling, as if I felt that it was a waste of God's gift for such a beautiful person to die like this.

I also feel that the Jiang family is too inhumane.

After all, Jiang Qingyue was her legally married wife in the past.

He had an urge to save Jiang Qingyue.

He really wanted to see, if he saved Jiang Qingyue and Jiang Qingyue was grateful to him, would she worship him as a god?

After all, she is just a weak woman.

He was thinking about something and unknowingly followed the servant to Miaowenyuan.

When Agate saw him coming, he shouted happily to the people inside:

"Aunt, aunt, the prince is here."

Upon hearing this, Chu Wan'er came out to greet him with a smile, took his arm, and told some jokes. The strange feeling that had just arisen in Xue Feimu's heart seemed to disappear in an instant.

He soon fell into Chu Wan'er's gentle embrace.

Agate understood what she meant and sent all the maids out. She quietly threw a piece of incense into the stove, then closed the door and stood guard at the door.

Not long after, some noises were heard faintly in the room, which made her blush.

In the Dali Temple prison, Jiang Qingyue waited quietly.

With the divorce papers in her arms, she felt the future was full of hope no matter how bad the circumstances were.

Misfortune comes with blessings, and blessings come with misfortunes.

Nie Qianjin wanted to harm her, but it also gave her a chance to escape from the cage.

She lay down on the messy straw and took a nap. When she woke up, she didn't know what day it was.

The food here is certainly not as good as that in the mansion, but it is still acceptable.

From the time she came in until now, she has never been tortured, nor has she suffered any inhumane hardships in prison.

When she woke up again, she saw Su and Shen.

The jailer opened the cell door and let the two men in.

As soon as Su and Shen saw Jiang Qingyue, tears fell from their eyes.

Jiang Qingyue looked at the two of them, feeling a little confused and having a bad premonition in her heart.

Looking at the expressions of the two again, the uneasiness became more intense.

Things...have changed.

When Dong Lingyan had someone deliver the divorce letter, he told her to stay for two days and then she could leave.

but now……

She seems... unable to get out?

If she was released without guilt, the ones who would come to pick her up would be her two uncles or Lin Zhiyuan.

Now came Su and Shen, and the maids behind them were holding basins and clothes in their hands. Her head suddenly buzzed with a loud noise.

"Aunt, second aunt." She called softly, and she could feel her voice trembling slightly.

"Yue'er..."

Shen couldn't hide her feelings, and tears fell as soon as she opened her mouth.

She really felt sorry for her niece.

Although they have no direct blood relationship, Jiang Qingyue has always respected her and treated her children well, not to mention that she saved Lin Que's life last time. She is very grateful to her.

She had originally thought that the next time Jiang Qingyue returned to the Lin family, she would have a good talk with her and thank her, so she even prepared a gift.

Who could have thought that something like this would happen, that we don't even have this chance anymore.

Seeing her in such a state, I felt really sad.

Jiang Qingyue glanced at the two of them, took a deep breath, and asked:

"I'm going to die, am I?"

As soon as she asked this question, Su and Shen turned their heads away at the same time without answering her, tears streaming down their faces.

At this point, there was nothing Jiang Qingyue didn't understand.

She didn't know what was happening outside, but if the result was like this, she would definitely die.

Although she had died once, Jiang Qingyue still couldn't be calm when facing death now.

It would be a lie to say that I'm willing. I finally looked forward to new hope, but my life has to come to an abrupt end here.

Fortunately, saving the Lin family made up for the regret.

Moreover, successfully divorcing and severing ties with the Xue family can be considered as fulfilling a wish.

Otherwise, if she was buried in the Xue family's tomb, she would probably die with regrets.

She looked at the person in front of her:

"Thank you, my two aunts, for coming to see me off."

Jiang Qingyue bowed politely to Su and Shen.

"Please keep this a secret from grandma for now. Tell her when you have the chance. I'm afraid grandma can't bear it."

If she were to die, the crime would be serious and her death would be ugly.

She didn't want her grandmother to see her like that, so she decided to wait a while.

Shen was already crying, Su went to help her up and nodded:

"it is good."

"How could someone like you do such a thing? I don't understand what goes on in the court, but I know this is an unprovoked disaster. You must have been wronged, but we are powerless to help you clear your name. Don't blame us."

Su was crying as she spoke.

Jiang Qingyue shook her head and smiled at them, but tears fell from her eyes during this smile:

"No, the Lin family is very kind. The Jiang family doesn't care about me, and the Marquis' Mansion is eager to break off relations with me. The Lin family treats me with deep affection.

"My aunt and second aunt are willing to come and see me at this time. I am extremely grateful and I will never blame you."

Shen covered her face and did not dare to tell her that the Jiang family had expelled her from the family tree.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this. We will clean you up, even if it's... We have to clean you up."

"Thank you, aunt."

A maid brought a stool, but Jiang Qingyue did not sit down.

Instead, he pulled Su aside.

After a little thought, he finally told her about Lin Yun.

After hearing this, Su felt like he was struck by lightning.

I never thought that my daughter would live like that. She was pregnant but she died from being beaten alive...

Her face was pale, she dared not think that her beloved daughter, who was so dear to her, would actually...

"How could it be like this..."

Jiang Qingyue: "Sister Yun wants to hide this kind of thing, and I didn't want to tell you, but now, I'm afraid that if I don't tell you, Sister Yun will still be hurt in the future.

"Sister Yun always reports good news but not bad news, but those who bully the weak and fear the strong will not treat her well just because she is kind, but will bully her even more."

The word "bullying" made Su's heart ache as if it were stabbed by needles, and tears flowed down.

Jiang Qingyue also told the story of how she asked Da Wu and Xiao Wu to teach Luo Hui a lesson.

"I hope my aunt won't blame me for acting on my own. Later I asked Lu Huan to find out. Luo Hui has treated Sister Yun much better, but I don't know how long he can keep doing it."

Su looked at Jiang Qingyue with a myriad of emotions in her heart.

She already owed Jiang Qingyue a favor, but she never expected that Jiang Qingyue had done so much for them behind the scenes. The gratitude in her heart was beyond expression.

She held Jiang Qingyue's hand tightly:

"How can I blame you? I can't thank you enough. I really don't know what to say. You have done so much for us, but we can't help you at all. I feel... so guilty."
