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

Xue Feimu was exposed directly and lowered his head guiltily.

"I am sorry, Princess."

"Tell me, how have you let her down?"

Xue Feimu was a little confused. The Prime Minister actually asked for details. Did it mean that he also thought there was a possibility that they could get back together?

And he asked for details, which showed that he really cared about his wife's sister.

He felt more and more regretful. If he had known that the Prime Minister valued his wife's sister so much, he would never have divorced Jiang Qingyue.

Not only is it unreasonable, but he also has to treat her well. In this way, the Prime Minister will help him for Jiang Qingyue's sake.

He wouldn't have to spend his prime years managing a group of eunuchs in the Internal Affairs Department and doing a job that is hard to describe.

Fortunately, seeing the Prime Minister's attitude, he still has a chance.

He has to perform well.

"When the princess married into the Marquis's mansion, I went to the battlefield before I even took off my veil. For three years, she has worked hard for the Marquis's mansion, protecting the mansion's door lintel for me, taking care of the elders in the mansion, and managing the household chores and the business of the mansion.

"She was a very good mistress. However, after I returned to Beijing, I wanted her to be my second wife, ignored her, and did not consummate the marriage with her..."

When he heard this, Ji Yunzhi's hand holding the teacup trembled, and he slowly raised his head and looked towards Xue Feimu.

He brought Nie Qianjin back to Beijing, and when he rescued Jiang Qingyue from the execution ground, he personally took her pulse.

She just had a miscarriage.

But now, Xue Feimu said that he had not consummated the marriage with her.

So, that child...

Ji Yunzhi let go of the teacup, clenched his fist, and clenched his teeth.

What happened to her...

Xue Feimu didn't notice and continued talking:

"She treated me really well, but I hurt her heart. I really regret it now..."

Xue Feimu had a look of regret and remorse on his face. He hoped that Ji Yunzhi would say something good about him in front of Jiang Qingyue because of his good attitude.

But he didn't notice that Ji Yunzhi's aura was icy cold:

"You did something wrong. As the mistress of the house, how can she behave in front of the servants before the marriage is consummated?"

Xue Feimu lowered his head and said, "I am also very upset about this matter. I have not fulfilled my responsibilities as a husband, nor have I considered her dignity as a mistress.

"But I will compensate her in the future. She is still the mistress of the Marquisate..."

Ji Yunzhi glanced at him sideways. Xue Feimu was startled by the gaze and quickly fell silent.

Ji Yunzhi just stood up, walked out the door, and left the Internal Affairs Department.

"Mr. Prime Minister..."

Xue Feimu saw him walk away, his face pale, thinking that something he said had angered the Prime Minister, and he did not dare to chase after him.

He just stood at the door and watched Ji Yunzhi leave.

He murmured to himself: I have to send a generous gift to the Prime Minister's residence. I hope the Prime Minister will not hold a grudge against me for such a small matter as saying the wrong thing.

The Prime Minister's Mansion will still be useful in the future.

Thinking so, Xue Feimu turned back to his house and wrote down all the gifts he could afford.

He was dreaming of climbing up to the Prime Minister, and when Lord Qian came to ask why the Prime Minister had left, he did not answer.

Mr. Qian left cursing.

Ji Yunzhi left the palace directly.

The first thing he did after returning home was to mobilize all his personal guards to investigate the connection between Jiang Qingyue and Dong Lingyan.

He was restless that day.

He didn't dare to ask what happened to her.

He was terrified to hear that they had crossed paths.

What’s even more frightening is to hear: they have never had any connection.

One day, he was sitting by a small pond in the mansion.

Watching the wind blow the fallen leaves and the fallen leaves floating on the water.

The sun is scorching.

He had never felt that time was so long.

Hard to bear.

There comes a moment when you feel that all your efforts have been meaningless.

Because, even if he is the highest official in the country.

Even if I have fulfilled the promises I made in the past.

However, he failed to protect his beloved girl...

late at night.

He received the message.

But I dare not open it to see...

When she found out that it was the old lady of the Marquis' Mansion who personally sent her to the General's Mansion, she was so angry that she trembled all over.

He couldn't imagine how hurt and wronged she had been.

It was he who tried every possible means to get Xue Feimu back to Beijing.

Knowing that Xue Feimu was going back to Beijing, the old lady of the Marquis' Mansion sent Jiang Qingyue away in order to pave the way for Xue Feimu.

Ji Yun felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife.

He thought he was being nice to her, but he actually forged the knife with his own hands to chop her down.

If he had known this would happen earlier, he would have let Xue Feimu die on the border.

Damn the loyal and brave Marquis Mansion.

The next day, it started raining again at noon.

The Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, Shousong Courtyard.

The old lady looked at the simple lunch on the table with a stern face.

"There are only five dishes, not even a bowl of soup. Is this how Aunt Sun manages the household?"

The old lady mentioned Sun Xiaoxiao, her tone full of complaints.

When Sun Xiaoxiao first got married, he was quite respectful to her.

Now it’s getting even more unbearable to watch.

Nanny Li smiled awkwardly but didn't dare to say anything. She poured her a cup of tea.

The old lady took a sip and looked at the food on the table with disgust on her face and a complaining tone:

"It's impossible to get such a good thing if you don't do anything with the household expenses. If you want the household expenses, you must do them well. Otherwise, it doesn't matter who you give it to. Why give it to her? Otherwise, with a family like the Sun family, how can she get the position of a concubine and manage the household expenses? It's really shameless..."

The old lady became angrier and angrier as she spoke, and immediately sent a maid to give Sun Xiaoxiao a beating.

It just so happened that the maid who was sent was bribed by Sun Xiaoxiao. When she reported, she repeated everything the old lady had said. Sun Xiaoxiao was so angry that her face turned green.

Before, in order to please the old lady, she specially bribed this maid. First, she wanted to find out the old lady's preferences, and second, any news about the prince could be passed on in time. She never expected that it would play such a role in the end.

This was not the first or second time that the old lady had complained about her.

This time she really didn't want to endure it any longer, so she pretended she heard nothing.

There's no way to ask her to spend money to subsidize her.

When she first got married, she was very respectful to the old lady, trying to please her and spending money on gifts.

But later, to show her sincerity, she specially sent some homemade snacks. After the old lady openly and secretly disliked her, she felt something was wrong.

It felt like the old lady was taking advantage of her.

When she made up for the deficit of the Marquis' Mansion and found that there was not a penny left in the account of the Marquis' Mansion, her guess was confirmed.

This concubine has no status at all, she is just a hot potato.

Originally, if Xue Feimu treated her well, she would be willing to pay for these expenses. After all, she liked Xue Feimu, and her mother gave her several good shops that could make money, which were enough to cover daily expenses. Combined with the existing business of the Marquis' Mansion, if she managed it well, she would definitely be able to get the Marquis' Mansion up and running.

However, Xue Feimu was not nice to her either. When she and Chu Wan'er had conflicts, he often stood on Chu Wan'er's side.

And Bai Wei's face was ruined, and it was clearly Chu Wan'er who did it, but they insisted on blaming her.

Every time she thought about this, she got so angry.

Moreover, after so long, Xue Feimu had no intention of helping her get promoted.

She was already feeling unbalanced and resentful, and now the old lady was blaming her like this, which made her feel even more uncomfortable.

"She really doesn't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are. Does she really think other people's money comes from the wind?

"I put thousands of taels of silver into the house, and I was responsible for every expense in the mansion, yet she actually blamed me for not doing a good job.

"She thinks she is right to put the burden of the mansion on a concubine."

Sun Xiaoxiao became angrier and angrier as she spoke, and she became more and more displeased with the old lady.

She used to respect her and try to please her in every way, but now that she thinks about it, she might as well be fed to a dog.

She feeds the dog and it wags its tail, but she spends money and still gets scolded.

"From now on, we won't spend a single cent on the expenses of the Marquis' Mansion."

Sun Xiaoxiao was unhappy and didn't even have lunch. For dinner, she asked someone to prepare a large table full of dishes.

Just to piss off the old lady,

Sun Xiaoxiao still felt sorry for Xue Feimu, so she asked someone to invite him, but she heard that Xue Feimu had gone to Chunfeng Tower.

Sun Xiaoxiao felt unbalanced. Last night, Xue Feimu asked her for one thousand taels. It turned out that he went to find a prostitute to drink.

OK OK.

Sun Xiaoxiao was furious.

She gave the entire table of food to the servants in her courtyard.

When the old lady heard about this, she was furious.

The food given to the servants was better than that given to her.

Sun Xiaoxiao did this on purpose.

She immediately asked someone to bring Sun Xiaoxiao over.

Sun Xiaoxiao was just about to go to the garden to get some fresh air, but when she heard that the old lady had called her, her first reaction was that she didn't want to go.

But she is now a member of the Marquis' Mansion, so she has no choice but to go.

As soon as she arrived at Cisongyuan, the old lady wanted to embarrass her and suppressed her. She made her kneel outside for a full half hour before letting anyone in.

As soon as we entered, the old lady began to blame us in a sarcastic tone:

"I heard that the food you provide to the servants in your courtyard is better than my regulations?"

Sun Xiaoxiao originally thought that she would just kneel for a while, but she didn't expect that she would kneel for half an hour. There was a maid watching beside her, and she couldn't even think about it.

I hadn't recovered yet, my knees were aching, and I heard the old lady's accusations, and her tone was not very good:

"I'm spending my own money, and I'm giving some extra money to the people in my courtyard. Is this not okay?"

The old lady snorted coldly: “You remember the servants in your courtyard, but you don’t remember an old woman like me.

"Since you have married into the Marquis's mansion and are in charge of the household, you should consider everything for the Marquis's mansion instead of just pursuing your own pleasure."

"How can I only care about my own enjoyment and not even care about the people in my courtyard having a meal? I considered the Marquis's Mansion, but the Marquis's Mansion did not consider me.

"Originally, when I married into the Marquis' Mansion, I should have spent the Mansion's money. Now that I haven't spent the Mansion's money, is it wrong for me to spend my own money?"

"You are in charge of the household affairs, so you should take care of the Marquis's Mansion."

Sun Xiaoxiao laughed angrily: "Then what the old lady means is that my money can only be spent in the mansion, not on myself?"

"You can spend it yourself, but there should be a limit. It is reasonable to spend it in the mansion. Since you are married into the mansion and are in charge of the household expenses, you should put the mansion first in everything you do."

The old lady spoke with confidence.

Sun Xiaoxiao was stunned. She didn't expect the old lady to be so shameless.

"Whoever wants to take care of the household affairs can do so. I don't care."

"How dare you! You can manage it if you want, and you can ignore it if you want. What do you think the Marquis' Mansion is?"

"I took the Marquis' Mansion too seriously at first. I never expected that the Marquis' Mansion would be so shameless."

Sun Xiaoxiao was used to being arrogant and domineering. The only reason she was willing to be humble before was because she liked Xue Feimu.

Now that she was disappointed with Xue Feimu, it would be strange if she could bear it when the old lady said such things.

"You...you...you are calling me shameless."

“Whoever covets my money has no shame.

"Other concubines can receive monthly wages, but the Marquis' Mansion has none. Not only that, I spend my own money but I'm blamed for not giving it to you. If I tell others about this, they will laugh at me."

"You, how dare you say such words." The old lady was so angry that she couldn't speak clearly.

"Why shouldn't I say it? You dare to do it, so why can't I say it?"

"You...you..." The old lady was so angry that she saw stars.

Sun Xiaoxiao is a concubine, how dare you say such things to her.

She grabbed Li Ma's wrist and said, "Go, ask Mu'er to come over. I want him to dismiss this concubine. We don't want a concubine who is disrespectful to her elders and has no manners at all in the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery Mansion."

Sun Xiaoxiao was furious when she heard this and couldn't help cursing:

"It is obviously you who are shameless, coveting a concubine's dowry, using the excuse of a housekeeper to try to get something for nothing, and now that you have failed, you are asking your cousin to divorce me.

"If you dare to dismiss me, I will expose all the affairs of the Marquis' Mansion and let everyone know what a cannibalistic place the Marquis' Mansion is.

"Even if I have to back out on this relationship, I am the one who will back out. It is me, Sun Xiaoxiao, who doesn't want your Marquis' Mansion.

"I'm telling you right now, I won't give a single cent of the money that the Marquis' Mansion needs. I'll also take back all the money that I put in before."

"This is outrageous. As a concubine of the Marquis' Mansion, you are supposed to help the Marquis' Mansion when they are in trouble. Yet you want to take it back. Do you have any heart?"

The old lady was so angry that her index finger that was pointing out was frozen in the wind. The index finger stood there, unable to move. The scene looked very funny.

"I don't have a heart? I took out so much money, and you actually said I don't have a heart. You are really an old witch who takes advantage of your age and eats people without leaving any bones.

"That's right. When the Marquis wanted to divorce Jiang Qingyue, I should have seen clearly that the Marquis was a heartless, shameless and ungrateful family."

"You, you...you, tie her up and punish her according to the family rules. Give her thirty lashes."

"Who dares."

Sun Xiaoxiao looked at the old woman coming towards her and ran away without thinking.

Shouting: "Murder, murder..."

The old woman chased after him outside.

The night was dark, and Sun Xiaoxiao didn't even dare to go to Sun's place. She ran out of the house and went to Sun's mansion.

Cisongyuan finally quieted down, but the old lady was so angry that her head was buzzing.

The blood rushed up and my head felt dizzy.

Feng Zhu's fingers had not recovered yet, and he was cursing Sun Xiaoxiao.

After cursing for a long time, he couldn't curse anymore and collapsed in the chair, gasping for breath.

Nanny Li had no choice but to comfort her.

After a while of consolation, he asked, "Old Madam, do you really want to divorce me?"

The old lady said angrily, "No, I won't retreat. If I retreat, how can I torture her? Let Mu'er go and say some nice words to her. When she returns to the Marquis' Mansion, I will let her know the price of what she said today."

The old lady was angry and didn't sleep well all night.

I just squinted in the morning when I heard Li Ma's terrified voice:

"Old Madam, it's bad, it's bad. The Xue family's side branch heard that the Marquis' Mansion had killed someone, and they want to come and divide the family property for the sake of justice."
