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

Lu Guifang sat in the chair in a daze.

She really couldn't understand why, as a daughter-in-law, Xiao Yunxi could have everything go smoothly while she was either beaten or punished.

The maid Ling'er sighed and stepped forward to help Lu Guifang wash and comb her hair again. "Don't be sad, Madam. The old lady is right. Although Li is from the second house, she is still inferior to you. The master also respects and loves you."

"In fact...if you can establish a good relationship with the princess, I'm afraid the old lady and the master will rely on you even more."

Lu Guifang understood this truth, but she just didn't want to accept it. Her eyes were red and swollen, and she said coldly: "I'm tired, you go down and rest."

Seeing this, Ling'er could only swallow her words of persuasion and retreat.

Lu Guifang murmured to herself, "Xiao Yunxi, don't be complacent. I don't believe that you can always be smooth sailing!"

-----------------------

Ruan and Xiao Yunxi returned to their seats, pretending nothing had happened, and watched the show with everyone else.

"Hey, your eldest sister is the same. She's just the second wife of a small family. Is it necessary to make such a fuss?"

Ruan complained to Xiao Yunxi in a low voice.

"Not only did she fight with the son-in-law, but she also wanted to kill a concubine today when so many guests were gathered. If this gets out, people will only say that she is jealous and unvirtuous!"

Xiao Yunxi also sighed in confusion, "My elder sister is very straightforward and never keeps anything to herself. But if she makes a scene like this without caring about anything, it will not only hurt the relationship between husband and wife, but also give others an opportunity to take advantage of her."

"Mrs. Dong still loves my eldest sister. If it were another family, they would have scolded my eldest sister and sent her back to her parents' home long ago."

Ruan nodded in agreement. "Today's incident was entirely Fang'er's fault. In my opinion, we should just let the second wife in, secretly buy some poison, and slowly poison her to death."

"It was really stupid to make such an embarrassing scene and get beaten and punished."

Xiao Yunxi didn't respond and watched the play on the stage seriously.

Ruan suddenly pulled Xiao Yunxi's sleeve and whispered, "Don't spread what happened today, especially don't tell the old lady."

"Ah."

Xiao Yunxi nodded indifferently.

When the two returned to the Marquis of Zhennan's Mansion, they happened to catch the old lady having dinner.

The three of them ate with their own thoughts, chatted for a while and then dispersed.

As soon as Xiao Yunxi returned to the entrance of Feiyu Pavilion, she saw Hongyu standing in the corridor with an expression that said "I have something to say".

"what happened?"

Xiao Yunxi rubbed his forehead tiredly, sitting on the chair and looking at Hongyu.

"Madam, I have something to report."

"From the look of you, is Lin Wan'er up to something again?"

"Madam is smart!" Hongyu smiled, "Someone came to the mansion today. It's the steward of the farm in the countryside."

"As soon as he arrived, he went to pay his respects to the old lady. He stayed there for a full hour, and Nanny Li sent him off with a serious face."

"Then there was a burst of crackling sounds in Shou'an Hall, and even Miss Yuanyang dared to wait outside the door."

"I am a lowly servant and my words are not taken seriously. I cannot find out what exactly happened."

"But that steward and Lin Wan'er both live on the same farm, so he must be related to Lin Wan'er."

Xiao Yunxi tapping the teacup could make the old lady furious. Could it be that Lin Wan'er was in the countryside...

This is unexpected.

"Princess, do you want to send someone to Shou'an Hall to inquire again?"

Hongyu looked at Xiao Yunxi expectantly.

No matter how tight-lipped the servants of Shou'an Hall are, they dare not go against the mistress of the house, because there will always be someone who leaks the news.

Xiao Yunxi shook her head. "It's not that simple. I'm afraid that apart from the old lady and Nanny Li, no one else knows the details."

"If it really has something to do with Lin Wan'er, she wouldn't be able to be the prince's concubine."

"If it has nothing to do with her, she will move to the servants' quarters in the prince's courtyard the day after tomorrow at the latest."

"It will only take two days to know the result."

Hongyu curled her lips, "From now on, I will have to see that bitch every morning and evening. It's really disgusting."

Xiao Yunxi smiled, "You are a concubine, she is a lowly concubine, you can stand, she can only kneel, you can talk to me, she can only lower her head and shut up, what's so disgusting about that?"

Hongyu smiled, "Then let her kneel in the yard from now on, so as not to affect her mood."

"It's getting late, you should go back and rest."

Hongyu nodded and said yes, then left happily.

She did not go directly back to her own yard, but went to Cuiwei's yard.

"Sister Hong, what are you so happy about?"

Cuiwei teased, "Did the princess reward you with gold?"

Hongyu sat down and smiled, "Is it more exciting than being rewarded with gold?"

She gestured to the west with her hand, "Is something going to happen to that person?"

"Oh?" Cuiwei asked hurriedly, "Why did Sister Hong say that?"

Hongyu repeated to Cuiwei what she had just reported to Xiao Yunxi.

"Lin Wan'er and I grew up together. That girl is very savvy. She will definitely not stay in the countryside and keep her virginity for the prince."

"She must have had an affair with someone and the housekeeper found out. Now that the old lady knows about it, of course she's going to be furious."

Cuiwei's eyes widened in surprise, "This...doesn't the prince have to kill her?"

Hongyu took a sip of tea, shook her head, and continued, "That shouldn't be the case. Master Naze and the prince look very similar. He must be the prince's biological son."

"But given the prince's temper, Lin Wan'er will definitely be whipped. It will depend on her fate whether she lives or dies."

Cuiwei pondered for a moment, "Sister Hong, I heard that the prince has several brothers, and they are very similar to each other."

"Yes, the prince has four sons in total, and they all look like him..."

Suddenly, Hongyu looked up at Cuiwei with horror on her face, "You are not doubting..."

"Sister Hong, I didn't say anything. You just came to my place to drink tea."

Cuiwei stuffed a piece of osmanthus cake into Hongyu's mouth.

"We sisters are all the princess's people, so we should obey her orders in everything."

"Right, Sister Hong?"

Hongyu swallowed the osmanthus cake with difficulty and nodded.

If this is really as Cuiwei thought, then it would be a big deal.

Back then, the eldest and second young masters were expelled from the mansion by the old prince.

Cuiwei glanced at Hongyu and said, "Sister Hong, you grew up in the palace, so you naturally know more than me."

Hongyu shuddered suddenly.

She glanced at Cuiwei in panic and said, "I'll go back and rest first."

Then he left in a hurry.

Cui smiled slightly, barely perceptible.

She looked up at the moon in the sky. It was so big and round.

I wonder if the prince’s hair is really shiny green.

Sister Hong, please don't let me down.
