The old lady shouted, "It's not me, it's not me, I did it all for the Marquis' Mansion."

"You fought for the Marquis' Mansion, but the Marquis' Mansion died because of you."

"It's not me, it's not me..."

"If you don't send her away, we will be a happy couple and have several children. As long as I am here, the Marquis's Mansion will slowly get back on its feet. She will take care of it and she will be a good and virtuous wife. The Marquis's Mansion will prosper and have a place in the capital.

"But now, you, the old lady of the Marquis's Mansion, have ruined all of this."

The old lady was going crazy after hearing these words. She couldn't allow anyone to put the fate of the Marquis' Mansion on her head:

"No, no, you are wrong. Even if I don't send her away, you won't be happy and harmonious, let alone have a child. Have you forgotten what you told me when you came back?

"You said you wanted to marry Chu as your second wife, you said you were not satisfied with Jiang Qingyue as your wife, you said this marriage was not what you wanted from the beginning to the end, you said you wanted the person you loved to be by your side.

"Jiang Qingyue tried to stop you, but you still hated her. You didn't even want to consummate your marriage with her after you came back, and you even stayed in Chu's house. Your relationship with Chu is stronger than gold, but you lied to yourself about wanting to be happy with Jiang Qingyue.

"If Jiang Qingyue really had a child, she wouldn't be able to give birth to it because Chu would never allow it, and you would definitely stand on Chu's side. It was you who took the wrong path from the beginning. Even if I don't send her away, she won't have a good life in the Marquis' Mansion.

"You and Chu forced her to do that..."

The old lady was going crazy, not knowing that her words were like needles piercing Xue Feimu fiercely.

"Puff..." Xue Feimu suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and fell down.

"Mu'er, Mu'er... Doctor, call the doctor quickly..."

Xue Feimu slowly closed his eyes. The old lady's words made him feel heartbroken.

These days, he regretted all the time that he did not live a good life with Jiang Qingyue.

Now he realized that from the very beginning, there was no possibility for them to...

He was so stupid at that time that he actually gave up Jiang Qingyue for Chu Wan'er.

What's wrong with Jiang Qingyue?

She is good-looking, capable, and devoted to the Marquis's Mansion. Even though she is a concubine's daughter, she is much better than Chu Wan'er.

Why on earth did he think that Chu Wan'er was the best girl in the world and that there were fakes mixed up in the mix?

What kind of poison did Chu Wan'er put on him?

He was so devastated that his intestines turned green.

Why can he ignore such a good person when he is in front of him?

I regret it so much...

If he could see her good side, if he could appreciate her three years of hard work for the Marquis' Mansion, and treat her a little better, and live a good life with her, would everything be different...

As Xue Feimu thought this, his mind went blank and he fell into a deep sleep.

When I woke up again, the night was dark.

It was pitch black all around.

It took him a long pause before he realized that this was not the marquis's mansion, but an old house.

He had nothing left, everything was gone, even the Marquis's Mansion was gone.

Unable to hold back, two lines of tears fell from the corners of my eyes.

Then, he seemed to hear a man's voice. Listening carefully, he heard a man's growl.

Then a low crying female voice was heard. It was his mother.

Then there was the sound of a door opening.

"Not bad, not bad. I'll come again next time." After saying this, the man walked out of the door.

Sun cried more and more sadly, and the old lady said:

"Cry, cry, cry, why are you crying? If we don't do this, we will all starve to death. You know how much money Mu'er's illness will cost. You'd better cooperate. The Marquis' Mansion has raised you for so many years, and it's time for you to repay the Marquis' Mansion. You're not doing this for me, but for Mu'er."

Sun said nothing, her voice became hoarse from crying.

The old lady lowered her voice and said harshly, "You'd better cry louder so that Mu'er can hear you. When he asks you what's wrong, you can tell him about your grievances."

Sure enough, after these words were spoken, Sun stopped crying and just stared blankly at the dark sky.

The old lady said, "The Marquis' Mansion has treated you well all these years. Now that the Marquis' Mansion is in trouble, we can only rely on you. You think I want you to do this, but there is nothing I can do. Look, you have received ten taels of silver tonight. In time, you may be able to live the same pampered life as before.

"We don't know how to do anything. We can't do anything. We don't have any way to make money, and we have to eat. There is really no other way. If there was a way, it wouldn't have to be like this. You have to understand my difficulties..."

Sun said nothing and let the old lady speak.

In the room, Xue Feimu was in tears.

His hands were clenched into fists at his sides, and the quilt was deformed by the force.

He closed his eyes and forced himself to sleep.

But his trembling eyelids betrayed his inner feelings at the moment.

Outside, Mrs. Sun was no longer able to make any sound. The old lady was mumbling something, but no one knew what she was saying.

But Sun had lost his voice, and the deafening silence hit him like a huge rock.

Xue Feimu raised his hand and stabbed himself, causing him to pass out.

When I woke up again, it was daylight, but I didn't know what time it was.

It was quiet outside, without a sound.

Thinking of the words he heard when he woke up before, he was glad for a moment that he was not dreaming, it was an illusion.

His eyes were bright and he struggled to sit up. The wound still hurt a little, but it had healed. As long as he was careful, he would be able to get out of bed and walk normally soon.

When he can get out of bed normally, he will find some work to support his family. He doesn't believe that he can't even provide his family with three meals a day.

He can write, copy books, and has learned how to do business. If that doesn't work, he also knows martial arts and street acrobatics.

He sat up and looked outside. The sunlight was falling on the door of the house.

He lowered his head and looked at his room. It had been cleaned up and was very clean. It was a far cry from the smashed appearance it had shown yesterday.

Even the roof has been repaired.

Looking at all this, he had a feeling that it was unreal. He shouted outside, "Mother, mother."

I called several times but no one answered.

He struggled to get up, and his hand felt painful as he pressed something. When he picked it up, he found five taels of silver.

He went out and saw the scene outside, and a bad feeling arose in his heart.

His house was clean and tidy, but the outside was smashed beyond recognition.

Who cleaned the house specially for him? His mother didn't understand these things and the old lady wouldn't do them.

He called out twice more: "Mother, Mother."

The old woman came out of the house and saw him getting out of bed. She hurried over and said, "Mu'er, why are you getting out of bed? The doctor told you to lie down for a few more days. Hurry up, go to bed."

Xue Feimu grabbed the old lady's hand and asked, "Where's my mother?"

"Your mother went out to buy clothes. She said she wanted to have clothes tailored for you."

"How can she go shopping for clothes?"

"You have to wear it, she has to wear it, and everyone has to wear it."

Xue Feimu gritted his teeth: "We no longer have any shadows."

"If we don't have silver, we can earn it. In fact, it's not difficult to make money. If we can earn ten taels of silver every day, we can have three hundred taels a month."

When Xue Feimu heard the ten taels of silver, he found it extremely harsh.

She looked at the old lady and felt that this elder whom she used to respect had become so strange.

"Last night...what did you make my mother do?"

Hearing the questioning tone, the old lady looked away guiltily.

When Xue Feimu saw her like this, there was nothing he didn't understand. He closed his eyes and felt his whole body was weak and he almost couldn't stand. He stretched out his hands to hold the wall to support his body.

It was not a dream or an illusion, it was all real, true.

"Grandma, why are you doing this?" Xue Feimu looked painful and his eyes were red.

The old lady hesitated, not knowing what to say?

Xue Feimu couldn't help it any longer and shouted:

"Why would you do this? She is my biological mother."

The old lady was frightened by this shout. Since Xue Feimu already knew about it, she didn't plan to hide it any longer, because such things would happen every day in the future. She could hide it today, but not tomorrow. So she might as well speak out and talk about it directly.

"So what? She has to do something. Otherwise, she'll just be feeding herself in vain. Now she can still make some money. The Marquis' Mansion has supported her for so many years. It's time for her to repay the Marquis' Mansion."

Hearing this, Xue Feimu felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife.

He should have thought of it earlier. When he knew yesterday that the old lady had sent Jiang Qingyue to the general's mansion, he should have expected this scene to happen.

He hated it so much, he hated the old lady and himself...

"No matter what, you shouldn't let your mother... How embarrassed are you making her feel? How will she live her life in the future?"

"What's wrong with this? The Marquis' Mansion has reached this point. We can't even afford food. Everyone is starving to death. We can't even survive. What's the point of talking about losing face? Do you know how embarrassed I was yesterday? I have completely lost my entire life's reputation in these few days."

"You deserve it. If you hadn't sent Jiang Qingyue away, the Marquis' Mansion wouldn't have come to this."

"Blame me, you're still blaming me? I'm doing this for the good of the mansion, I'm doing this for you."

"You said it was for me, but in fact it was for yourself and your vanity. You are an ignorant and stupid old woman."

Xue Feimu became so angry that he cursed loudly.

The old lady was stunned. She never expected that her grandson, who had always been filial and loving to her, would say such words to her.

She couldn't believe it, looked at him with a heartbroken face, and cried, "Do you have a conscience?

"Who am I doing this for?"

The old lady knelt down while crying and kowtowed to the air:

"Master, I have been married to you for so many years, and I have always considered everything for the Marquisate. But now listen to what your grandson says. He blames me..."

The old lady cried so hard that her heart was broken, and Xue Feimu just thought it was noisy.

He had never felt as much as he did today that the old lady was so hateful and abominable.

"Don't let my mother do this again. I don't agree. I will go out and earn money. Let me rest for two more days. After two days, as long as I can walk normally, I will go out and earn money."

"You are too naive. You will never make money in Beijing."

"I have to earn money even if I can't. I will never let my mother suffer such humiliation."

"I've already suffered, so why talk about humiliation? A transaction is still a transaction, and a hundred transactions are still a transaction.

"You should take good care of your injuries. Later, you can adopt a child from the clan, or raise one outside, or ask your mother to have another child. Then you can say that the child is yours, and the Xue family will not be cut off..."

"grandmother."

Xue Feimu shouted loudly to stop her from speaking.

"Do you know what you are talking about? How can you say such a thing?

"It's fine for me, but what do you think of my mother? You asked her to give birth to a child whose father she doesn't even know, and you raise him as my child. You are really old and confused and crazy."

The old lady was about to cry again after hearing this accusation, but the door outside was suddenly pushed open, and the woman who cleaned the house came to report the news:

"Madam, your daughter-in-law jumped into the river and is gone."

"what……"

The old lady was shocked, and her first reaction was: Sun is such a fool, how is she going to make money in the future.

Did she think that she could wash herself clean by jumping into the river? She was already dirty, and no matter how she washed herself she would still be dirty. If she jumped into the river at this time, she would have to pay for her funeral, which was unlucky.

When she went out in the morning, Sun asked her for five taels of silver. Is Sun really crazy? She wanted five taels of silver from her before she died. Doesn't she care about her own son?

The old lady cursed: "If she dies, she dies."

Xue Feimu looked at the old lady as if he was a stranger, then propped himself up and walked towards the door.

"what are you going to do?"

"I'm going to collect my mother's body."

"You are not allowed to go. She died outside. It is unlucky."

Xue Feimu froze in his tracks after taking a step forward. He turned around and looked at the old lady with a dead look in his eyes.

The ending of the Marquis's Mansion began when his grandfather married this woman.

Seeing that Xue Feimu was still trying to leave, the old lady became anxious. She picked up a stick and hit him from behind, knocking Xue Feimu unconscious.

She didn't let him go, not only for Xue Feimu's health, but also for his reputation. If anything happened to Xue Feimu, she would not be able to bear it.

As long as Xue Feimu was there, she would not have let down her ancestors. If something happened to Xue Feimu as well, he really didn't know how he would go on living.

Sun is dead and that's it.

Xue Feimu is still young, and he will understand her in the future.

The old lady asked the other women to help and carried Xue Feimu back to the house with difficulty.

He also gave the woman one or two ounces of silver and asked her to buy a straw mat and throw the body into the mass grave, and the matter was settled.

She spent one or two taels of silver on her, which was considered to be her due.

Back in the yard, the old lady looked at the dilapidated old house that had been smashed and couldn't help but burst into tears.

She held her anger, took out the stove, and fished out the rice and flour from the soil.

He was crying while fishing.

She was not wrong. She did everything for the Marquis' Mansion and for Xue Feimu.

But why is everything going against her?

She just wanted to get some money from Jiang Qingyue, why did she destroy the house?

How could Jiang Qingyue be so cruel? She has so much money and everything, so what's wrong with giving her a little.

He didn't even give her any chance to survive.

If she died, it was Jiang Qingyue who forced her to death.
