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

Sun Xiaoxiao couldn't help but burst into tears.

I have already cried once at the Sun family today, and now I will cry even harder.

It was obvious that the 20,000 taels of silver from her Sun Mansion were still in the warehouse of the Marquis' Mansion.

Even if the Marquis' Mansion looks down on the Sun family, they should still maintain their dignity for the sake of this little bit of silver.

But they actually went so far.

Sun Xiaoxiao felt a sense of sadness as if the rabbit had died and the fox had grieved.

She endured the humiliation and entered the mansion through the side door. She wanted to find Xue Feimu. She wanted to ask him what he thought.

No matter what the old lady did, she could endure it. As long as Xue Feimu still had her in his heart, she felt that everything was fine.

However, after she returned, she asked the servant in the study, who said: The prince went to Aunt Bai's place.

When Sun Xiaoxiao heard this, her eyes went dark.

Even though her Sun family had encountered such a big thing, Xue Feimu still had the mood to indulge in romance with other women.

He also went to Bai Wei's place, which was a slap in her face.

Everyone in the palace knew that Bai Wei's face was disfigured and the prince had never seen her since then.

On a day like today, the prince went to Bai Wei's room.

She was not even as good as a maid with a disfigured face.

Sun Xiaoxiao stumbled back to the yard and burst into tears.

The maid beside her reminded her to go to the storehouse and find a way to get some silver out.

When she just came back, Madam Sun specifically told her that the Sun family was now empty, and she must take the money back, so that at least her eldest brother could be sentenced to fewer years and suffer less. Money can be earned again, but people are gone forever.

Hearing the maid say these words, Sun Xiaoxiao thought of her mother's tears when she was at the Sun family.

He immediately went to get the silver.

But the key is in Chu Wan'er's hand, and Chu Wan'er will not give the key to her without the order from the mansion.

She thought of having someone move the house out quietly, so she asked her maid to go and inquire. The maid came back and shook her head. The old lady was guarding against her like a thief, and now she had double the guards around the warehouse.

If she wanted to take out the silver, there was only one way, which was to ask the old lady for help.

But with the lessons learned from the past, she was almost certain: she didn't even need to ask, because the old lady of the current Sun family would not give her a penny.

She thought of going to find Xue Feimu, but when she thought of Xue Feimu being at Bai Wei's place and not knowing whether they were doing something indecent at the moment, she felt jealous, annoyed, angry and sad, and could only cry like rain.

"Let's go to our aunt."

The maid frowned and said, "The eldest wife has never been in charge of things. Last time, when Madam wanted to take more money, the eldest wife didn't dare to say a word. Now, even if you tell the eldest wife, I'm afraid it won't have any effect."

Sun Xiaoxiao cried, "What can I do? Can I rely on myself? What can I do? The money has gone into the Marquis's pocket, and they just won't give it back. In this huge Marquis's Mansion, who else can I turn to except her?

"She can't have a say in the old lady's case, but she is Chu Wan'er's mother-in-law after all. Let her talk to Chu Wan'er. Maybe Chu Wan'er will give her the key. We have to find a way. Are we really going to do nothing?"

Sun Xiaoxiao's heart was full of resentment, and she went to the Sun family courtyard.

Although she knew that going to Sun's place would be of no use, she had no other choice but to grab at every straw as if it were a life-saving straw. At least she could do something to make herself less panicked.

Quarter of an hour later, Sun Xiaoxiao came out of the Sun family courtyard with deep disappointment in her eyes.

She finally understood why her aunt was not respected and had no status in the Marquis's Mansion. Whatever the old lady said was the final word.

It was because she had no opinion of her own. Not only did she not have an opinion, she didn't even dare to speak up. She had begged when she should have, said what she should have said, and even when asked to do something for the Sun family for the sake of her grandparents, she didn't dare to do it.

Sun Xiaoxiao felt a little regretful that she had married into the Marquis's Mansion.

Before she married into the Marquis's Mansion, although the Sun family had a low status, they had an aunt who married into the Marquis's Mansion, and her mother's family business was doing well, so the Sun Mansion was considered to be able to get by.

But now, they have no money, no friends, no power, and their eldest brother is in jail, and they have no way to do anything but watch these things happen.

Sun Xiaoxiao couldn't hold it in any longer and knelt down and cried bitterly.

There was a rumble in the sky, thunder roared twice and then heavy rain began to fall.

Sun Xiaoxiao was helped back to the yard by her maid. Maybe it was because of the rain or because she was sad, but she soon developed a high fever.

The next day, the rain stopped and the sky cleared up.

The Zhuxiangyuan was filled with a strong smell of medicine. Sun Xiaoxiao opened her eyes and felt a splitting headache and a hoarse throat.

The maid saw that she had woken up and smiled. She hurried forward and said, "Madam, you are awake. Madam, that's great. Madam is pregnant. If the prince knew, he would be very happy."

"Ah, what did you say?"

The maid answered again.

Sun Xiaoxiao was stunned. She raised her hand and touched her belly: I'm pregnant...

She smiled. She had been waiting for this child for a long time and finally he came.

It just seems like it came at a wrong time. No, no, no, it was exactly the right time...

For the sake of this child, would the old lady have some compassion?

The smile on Sun Xiaoxiao's face grew wider.

"Where is the prince? Please ask him to come over. I want to tell him the news as soon as possible."

"Madam, the prince has entered the palace to take up a post."

"Go and guard the door. Once you see the prince coming back, please come over."

Sun Xiaoxiao had her makeup done, drank the medicine, and waited in the yard, and she waited until evening.

Xue Feimu didn't want to come, but he came anyway because of the maid's pleading.

When he arrived, he was shocked to see Sun Xiaoxiao in front of him. She looked extremely haggard. He could not believe that she had become like this in just a few days. He felt a little sympathy for her.

"I've also heard about the Sun family's affairs. Don't be too sad. It's okay if you were wrongly accused. The main thing is that your eldest brother really did something wrong. There's really nothing we can do. Otherwise, I would have helped him."

Xue Feimu gave her some advice, and Sun Xiaoxiao started crying again after hearing his gentle words.

She came back from Sun's house last night and received no comfort. She only heard the news that he had gone to Aunt Bai's courtyard, and she felt that he was heartless and disloyal.

After meeting him today and hearing his considerate words, the resentment I felt suddenly disappeared.

The grievance in her heart came in waves, like an overwhelming tide of emotions that hit her, making it impossible for her to hold back her tears.

She begged, "Cousin, when I left, my mother asked me to take some money back. She said that as long as I paid the other party 20,000 taels, my brother would not have to go to jail.

"Cousin, as long as my eldest brother comes out, he will definitely turn over a new leaf and start anew. The Sun family will also have money in the future. When the Sun family makes money, they will repay the money owed to the Marquis' Mansion as soon as possible.

"Cousin, please have pity on the Sun family and me."

Xue Feimu originally felt a little sympathetic, but when he heard her say 20,000, he suddenly came to his senses.

He also thought about what Chu Wan'er said, that when the Marquis' Mansion was in trouble, the Sun family took advantage of the situation and made demands. Now that such a big thing has happened to the Sun family, the Marquis' Mansion is also powerless.

He didn't feel that he owed anything. If he had to say what he owed, it was the Sun family that owed the Marquis' Mansion.

He had already given five thousand taels of silver. If it weren't for the sake of his in-laws, he wouldn't have given a penny.

"I went to look into your eldest brother's problem. Money can't solve it. Even if you throw this little money out, it will be a waste of money and won't have any effect."

Sun Xiaoxiao cried so hard, "No, mother said that money makes the world go round. As long as we send some money, at least my brother won't suffer and can save his life.

"But if we do nothing now, my brother might not be able to survive."

Sun Xiaoxiao was in tears and Xue Feimu frowned, feeling that she was irritated.

Thinking about what the old lady said to him yesterday.

The Sun family must have offended someone, otherwise how could something that happened so long ago be suddenly exposed? It is obvious that someone was prepared.

Besides, all these things happened at the same time, how could it be such a coincidence? He should not go forward to avoid getting into trouble.

At this time, no matter whether he wanted to or not, he couldn't do anything about the Sun family's affairs.

This is his responsibility and obligation as the eldest son of a marquisate.

He couldn't possibly put the entire mansion in danger just because of this little friendship.

Not only could he not help, he also had to find a way to sever ties with his wife, Sun Xiaoxiao.

Who knows if those people will target the Marquis' Mansion just because Sun Xiaoxiao is a daughter of the Sun family.

He absolutely couldn't let this happen.

Sun Xiaoxiao is unworthy of being the mistress of the Marquis's Mansion.

Without this relationship, not only can the Marquis' Mansion and the Sun Family be severed, but the position of the principal wife can also be given up.

When a suitable woman is found in the future, he can welcome her as his legal wife, and at that time he may be able to take advantage of the power of Yue family.

Sun Xiaoxiao was already crying so hard. She thought of something and became excited. She grabbed Xue Feimu's hand, put it on her belly, and said anxiously:

“Cousin, I have a child, we have a child.

"I just heard what the doctor said today. Are you happy? You don't want our child to be born without an uncle, right? For the sake of this child, let's pray for the child. Can you help my eldest brother?"

Xue Feimu was stunned, looked at Sun Xiaoxiao's lower abdomen, his expression changed, then he pulled his hand away, turned around and left without looking back.

Sun Xiaoxiao was stunned, not knowing what Xue Feimu meant.

She sat there, motionless, with a dazed expression, and she could not hear the maid who came to remind her.

"Tell me, my cousin...why does he have this expression?"

The maid was surprised: "Maybe the prince is too happy."

"Oh. Yes, it must be. My cousin has always said that he wants a child. He must have known that I have a child, so he went to ask the old lady for help. I knew that my cousin was concerned about the Sun family."

The more Sun Xiaoxiao thought about it, the brighter her eyes became.

"Hurry up, go buy clothes, shoes and socks for the child tomorrow. No, no, no, make them yourself. They are comfortable and soft. Go to Sun's house and tell the parents. They will definitely be very happy."

"Madam, isn't it too late now?"

"It's not too late, go now. There's good news, and they'll be happier."

"Yes, ma'am, I'll go right away."

Sun Xiaoxiao was happily waiting for good news from Xue Feimu.

It feels like I can no longer feel all the suffering I've endured these days.

Now that she has a child, her words carry weight in the Marquis' Mansion, and she may be able to get the money to save her brother's life.

She sat on the chair, not daring to move, and talked to the maids. This was the most peaceful time in Zhuxiangyuan in recent days.

However, about an hour after Xue Feimu left, Nanny Li from Shousongyuan arrived.

Sun Xiaoxiao was overjoyed when she saw Nanny Li coming.

She said that her cousin would not leave the Sun family alone, and that he must have gone to the old lady to ask for mercy for the child, allowing her to return to the Sun family with the money.

She straightened her clothes, put on a smile, stood up and walked forward to greet him in person.

Nanny Li is someone close to the old lady, so she has to give her some face.

She went to greet her, but she didn't expect that Li Ma had a stern look on her face.

"The old slave has met Madam."

Nanny Li's tone of voice when she called her "Madam" didn't sound very respectful.

After she finished speaking, a maid came up behind her with a bowl of black medicine on a tray in her hand. There were four old women guarding her.

Sun Xiaoxiao instinctively felt that something was wrong and pushed back.

"Madame Li, this is..."

Madam Li sneered, "This is the pregnancy-preserving medicine that the old lady ordered me to bring."

"Abortion-preserving medicine. Did the old lady know about it?"

"understood."

Sun Xiaoxiao was frightened and confused when she saw Nanny Li's expression.

Then Madam Li said again: "The old lady was very happy when she heard the news, so she specially asked this old servant to come and visit.

"I heard that Madam was caught in the rain last night and was not feeling well. Now that she is pregnant, the old lady went to see a doctor and got a dose of pregnancy-preserving medicine. Madam, please don't let the old lady down."

As Nanny Li said this, she asked the maid to bring up the bowl of medicine.

Sun Xiaoxiao looked at the bowl of medicine and didn't want to drink it.

But the purpose of Li Ma's coming was to make her drink.

"Madam, drink it while it's hot, so I can go back and report to you."

Sun Xiaoxiao looked at Nanny Li.

The maid passed the bowl forward again.

He picked up the bowl and took a sip.

The medicine was so bitter that it made me shiver.

This was the worst tasting medicine she had ever taken.

Seeing her finish drinking, Nanny Li breathed a sigh of relief: "Madam, please have a good rest. I will leave first."

Sun Xiaoxiao slumped in the chair.

She couldn't quite understand it. She felt that the old lady didn't like the child very much, otherwise she would have come to take a look.

Moreover, Nanny Li's expression did not look very good, and she did not seem happy.

But how could it be?

She is now the legal wife, and the child she gives birth to will also be a legitimate son. Her cousin has no children yet. If the Marquis's Mansion has a legitimate grandson, shouldn't the old lady be happy?

Thinking of this, she secretly thought that she was overthinking and perhaps she was too sensitive.

"Let's go to the study and thank our cousin."

The old lady knew she was pregnant, it must have been her cousin who told her. Since they showed their affection to her, she should be more sensible.

Sun Xiaoxiao stood up, but before she took two steps, she felt a pain in her lower abdomen. The pain was so severe that she almost bent over. Her legs went weak and she fell to the ground.

The maid was frightened and rushed to help, but found a large pool of blood on the ground.

"Ah...Madam..." the maid shouted.

"Call the doctor."
