After the rebirth of the Marquis's mistress, she smiled at the scumbag's family

Lin Wan'er returned to her room quietly and sat on a chair, her face full of fear and confusion.

Seeing his mother's distraught look, Lu Ze frowned and said, "Mom, is this really poison?"

Lin Wan'er nodded gently, "Madame Li dug herself out desperately, so what else could it be but poison?"

"Why did my great-grandmother poison you?"

Yes, why would you poison yourself?

Just because I'm a bed-climbing slave?

Just because you haven't read any books?

Is it because you want to be the best?

"They didn't treat me as a human being at all, just a dog that could be slaughtered at any time..."

She just wanted to live a better life and be a superior person, but who wouldn't want that?

If a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. So what have you done wrong?

Lin Wan'er's mind flashed with Lu Jingting's face, then Xiao Yunxi's face, then the faces of the old lady, Nanny Li, and others... and finally stopped at Lu Zhan's face.

"Master, Master Ze just gave Nanny Li a bowl of soup. After drinking it, Nanny Li vomited violently. It was so disgusting."

Changsheng had a look of disgust on his face.

Changrong patted his chest and thought it was a good thing that he was not going alone, otherwise he would not be able to eat dinner.

"This Aunt Lin is quite clever," Lu Zhan put down his pen, "She was able to think of such a roundabout way to confirm whether Aunt Li had poisoned her."

"That's right. How can a person with ordinary looks who can seduce the prince of the palace and even give birth to a child safely be without any schemes?

Young Master, you have to be careful. This woman is not only bad, but also has her own ideas."

Lu Zhan smiled, "That's even better. As long as she has the heart and courage, there's no need to worry about what happens next."

Changsheng was still a little worried, "Do you want me to keep an eye on her?"

Lu Zhan thought about it and nodded.

After all, my mother once said that it is better to be safe than sorry, and we should never underestimate anyone.

With all the thoughts coming and going, the Zhennan Palace was unusually quiet for a while. Before we knew it, the winter solstice had arrived, and it snowed heavily for days, and the whole palace was covered in silver.

The Ruan family is still in charge now, and the old lady gives some advice from time to time. Although nothing serious has happened, the Ruan family still complains a lot.

"Madam, the mistress of the house is really tired. She gets up earlier than the chickens and goes to bed later than the dogs. Look at my daughter-in-law's eyes, they are all black and blue!"

Ruan complained bitterly, saying how much she wanted to seize Xiao Yunxi's power in the past, and now she regretted taking on such a hot job.

"If you really don't want to do this anymore, how about calling your two concubines' wives back?"

Ruan's heart skipped a beat. How could she still live a good life?

The old lady glanced at her sideways and turned her head away.

"Madam...something bad has happened!"

Nanny Li ran in with a look of horror on her face, but she tripped over the threshold and fell. She didn't care about the pain and quickly got up.

The old lady frowned, "What happened? Why are you so flustered?"

"Madam, the clan leader and a group of clan elders ran to the old prince's study, throwing things and crying, saying that they wanted to expel the third master from the family tree!"

"What?!" Ruan stood up in shock. "Who do they think they are? Why do they expel my son from the family tree?"

Madam Li said calmly, "I heard that more than a dozen young masters in the clan took part in the autumn examination, but none of them passed.

An elder of the clan went to inquire about it and was told that someone had instructed that all male members of the Lu clan of the Zhennan Palace...would have difficulty pursuing a career in government."

"Someone instructed me to do this? Whoever did this, I'll scratch his face!"

Ruan rolled up her sleeves and stamped her feet in anger.

"Who else could it be?" The old lady said sullenly, "Grand Master Xiao's disciples are all over the court. It's all your son's fault!"

"Isn't he your grandson too..." When Ruan heard that it was because of the Ningguo Mansion, she became depressed and could only grumble, "He is a Grand Tutor after all, why is he so fussy? Besides, Jing Ting was divorced by Xiao Yunxi, so it is Jing Ting who is embarrassed!"

"The clan leaders said," Nanny Li said with an embarrassed look on her face, "either expel the Third Master from the clan tree, or have Lin Wan'er and her son beaten to death!"

The old lady sneered, "Do they think this can calm the anger of the Ningguo Mansion? How naive.

Now the Zhennan Palace and the Ningguo Palace are mortal enemies, it’s either you die or I live.”

"Hey," Ruan slapped her thigh hard, "Old Madam, the rumors outside are very unpleasant now.

Before, when Hongmei went out to buy rouge and powder for me, I heard people on the streets turning our little thing into a nursery rhyme, something like 'The Lu family's eldest son loves slaves, abandons the family's honor, is really proud of having sons and daughters, and is the most spineless person in the Dali period'.

Not to mention the Lu family, even the servants in our palace would be scolded when they go out, which is very embarrassing!"

When Lu Jingting was ordered to divorce her husband and was stripped of his title of crown prince and official position, some members of the Lu family had long been dissatisfied and were even more worried that they would be retaliated against by the Ningguo Mansion from now on.

But the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion is the direct line of the Lu family and has the highest status. The old prince is also in the mansion, so they can retain some face and no one will jump out to make trouble.

Now that none of the male members of the Lu family have passed the Autumn Examination, the powder keg has been ignited. After all, the future of the descendants is the first priority, who cares about face or not?

"What should we do?" Ruan's eyes rolled, "How about telling them about Lin Wan'er's life story?

Although we have broken off relations with the Ningguo Mansion, we still have the Wu'an Marquis Mansion, and isn't Lin Wan'er's twin sister still serving as a queen in the palace?"

The old lady sighed, "Let's not talk about whether the Wu'an Marquis's Mansion is willing to recognize Lin Wan'er, but based on what we did before, do you think Lin Wan'er will let it go?

Once her status becomes high, not to mention you as her mother-in-law, even I may not be able to suppress her.

Besides, the Wu'an Marquis's Mansion is just an empty shell, and the lady in the palace is still a noble lady. In terms of power and status, it can't compare to the Ningguo Duke's Mansion at all."

After hearing this, Ruan became worried, "What should I do...Should I just follow their wishes and expel Jing Ting from the family tree?

If you ask me, why not just beat Lin Wan'er to death? Maybe they will calm down then."

"They have calmed down, but can Xiao Yunxi's family calm down?"

The old lady frowned, "Madame Li, spread the word now that I'm sick, very sick, and won't see any outside visitors!"

Now those people are going to make trouble for the old prince, who knows, they might ask the female relatives to come and make trouble for her. Those shrews, each of them is abusive and never repeats themselves, and they are very experienced in pulling hair. If they really start to fight, she will not get any good results!

When Ruan saw the old lady like this, she was also scared. There were many elders in the clan, so she was nothing.

"Madam, even if you can hide for a while, can you hide forever? If you lie down and pretend to be sick, what should I do? What should Jing Ting do?"

"Isn't the old prince in the front?" The old lady covered herself with a quilt. "You just stay in my Shou'an Hall to take care of the patient. It will be fine if you don't go out to see people."

Nguyen: ....How shameful...
