The beauty of the Hou family and the king's plan

The one who came to the House of the Earl of Zhongyi to look for someone was the eldest son of the Earl of Zhongyi. It was he who owed the Earl of Wu'an 30,000 taels of silver and had no money to pay it back, so he came up with the bad idea.

The Ning'an Marquis's doorman invited them into the flower hall of the outer courtyard. The son of the Loyalty Earl had already drunk three cups of tea, but his mother had not come out yet, so he kept urging the servant anxiously.

He was at a loss, as he thought that something that was set in stone had turned into a setback. Someone from Wu'an Marquis's residence came with a message from Wu'an Marquis, saying that Ning'an Marquis's residence wanted to cancel the engagement.

Wu Anbo tactfully said that the marriage may not be successful, but it cannot be forced, and the woman must be willing.

Since Ning'an Marquis's Mansion wanted to cancel the engagement, they must be unwilling to do so. In this case, it seems that the Prince of Zhongyi lied.

Wu'anbo said that he would not pursue the deception of the son of Zhongyibo, but the 30,000 taels of silver and the interest of these days should be delivered to Wu'anbo's mansion within three days, without a single cent less.

Otherwise, the case will be brought to court.

The son of the Loyalty Earl didn't know what had happened, and hurriedly wanted to find his mother to go to the Ning'an Marquis's mansion to investigate. But the maids said that the Earl's wife had arrived at the Ning'an Marquis's mansion early this morning, so he hurried over.

I never expected that I would be stopped in the flower hall and not be able to see any master.

The old lady and the master here were unable to come up with any solution.

Previously, the Zhongyi Marquis's Mansion wanted to use Shen Jing to fill the hole, which was their fault. However, this matter did not succeed, and the Ning'an Marquis's Mansion did not suffer any actual losses.

Although the wife of the Marquis of Zhongyi was accidentally injured by the eldest master, it is a fact that she is still unconscious in the Marquis's Mansion.

No matter what, the Ning'an Marquis's Mansion was at fault in this matter. Now they could only appease the Zhongyi Marquis' Mansion and cover up the matter.

The old lady wanted Wang to change her clothes and go to comfort the son of the Loyalty Earl. She said that the aunt had sprained her ankle and couldn't move, so she had to stay in the Ning'an Marquis's mansion for a few days.

After all, Wang was the aunt of the son of the Earl of Zhongyi, so he would probably believe what Wang said to some extent.

Wang was terrified when she thought about the old lady's words about sending her to the Buddhist temple. If she could handle this matter well and atone for her mistakes, perhaps the Marquis' Mansion would let her off and she could still be the wife of the Marquis' Mansion and the master of the house.

So he quickly changed his clothes and went to the flower hall in the outer courtyard with this arduous task.

When the son of the Loyalty Earl saw Wang coming, he hurriedly asked, "Aunt, why didn't the marriage between the Ning'an Marquis' Mansion and the Wu'an Earl's Mansion go through?"

When Wang saw that he didn't ask about the wife of the Earl of Zhongyi, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

She sat down slowly and explained earnestly, "My dear nephew, it's not that I won't help you. I have already asked for the Queen's order. It's just that this matter is no longer something you and I can decide."

"Aunt, please stop playing guessing games with your nephew. What happened? How come even the queen can't make the decision?" The Prince of Zhongyi asked anxiously.

Wang was still keeping the secret and said, "Things that even the queen couldn't do anything about, think about it, is it something you and I can afford to offend?"

The son of the Loyal Earl was not a fool, he just had a habit of gambling. He was very smart, and Wang Shi understood it after she gave him some advice.

He was just stunned, mumbling: "What should I do?"

He knelt down with a plop and begged Wang, "Aunt, please save my nephew. If I am sued by Marquis Wu'an, I will not be able to be the heir of the Marquis's mansion."

The Loyalty Marquis's Mansion was not hereditary, and after the generation of the Loyalty Marquis's son, it would be taken back by the court. If the Marquis's Mansion made a serious mistake, it was not impossible to take it back in advance.

In addition to wanting to suppress Aunt Lan and her daughter, Wang also couldn't bear to see her family fall into desolation, so she agreed immediately when the Lady of the Marquis of Zhongyi came to visit for the first time.

Seeing the son of the Loyalty Earl crying bitterly, he felt bad. Just as the two were in a stalemate, a maid suddenly rushed out.

The maidservant yelled at the Lord Zhongyi, "Lord, don't kneel to her. Our lady is dying. She was beaten to death by the Lord Ning'an."

Just as she said this, the maid was covered with mouth and nose by the servant who was chasing her from behind. She kept struggling, her mouth buzzing and trying to speak.

The Prince of Zhongyi heard it clearly, so how could he not resist at this moment? He kicked the servant away in a few moves and pulled the maid over.

"Cui Lian, please tell me, what happened to my mother?" Although the Prince of Zhongyi was talking to the maid, his eyes were fixed on Wang.

Wang lowered her eyelids guiltily and said nothing.

This maidservant is the personal maid of Lady Zhongyi. Her loyalty is unquestionable and what she says must be true.

Cui Lian cried to the Prince of Zhongyi, "Prince, please save my wife. She is still unconscious. I heard that the old lady of the Ning'an Marquis's Mansion said that she wanted to keep my wife in the Marquis' Mansion."

"The master of Ning'an Marquis' Mansion injured Madam. If she were left in the mansion, I don't know if she would still be alive. Prince, please take Madam home quickly. This Ning'an Marquis' Mansion is a cannibal."

Cui Lian felt sad whenever she thought of the blood-stained face of the wife of the Marquis of Zhongyi.

The son of the Loyal Earl did not care about Cui Lian's crying and asked Wang in a stiff tone: "Aunt, is what Cui Lian said true? If so, please take me to see my mother."

"Otherwise, don't blame me for asking my father to come to your house to get you back." He said threateningly.

Wang had no choice but to take the son of the Earl of Zhongyi to Yuqing Garden.

At this moment, the old lady and the eldest master were still there. As early as when Cui Lian rushed out of the flower hall, a maid came to report it, and the two knew that this matter could not be concealed.

It seems that the two families can only resolve the issue privately and must not bring it to court.

The Concubine Shu cannot have a criminal father, and the Fourth Prince's maternal family cannot have the slightest stain, otherwise it will be a major blow to the Fourth Prince's faction.

The wife of the Duke of Zhongyi lost too much blood and her face turned pale. When the prince saw his mother like this, he also became tough.

He bowed to the master and asked, "I wonder what evil thing my mother did that my uncle wanted to kill her."

Although the master hurt someone, he was not completely untenable. He just snorted coldly: "How dare you say that? In order to pay off the debt, you actually thought of marrying your cousin to the Qiao family to fill the hole."

"How do you settle this account? It was because of this matter that I had an argument with your aunt. Your mother stepped forward to mediate and was injured by mistake. I didn't mean to do that."

"If it weren't for you, how could your mother be injured?"

"Take your mother back home, and I won't hold you responsible. Our two families are still relatives."

The master had a good plan and took the initiative, hoping to make a big deal out of a small matter and a small matter disappear.

But the Prince of Zhongyi is not a fool.

At this moment, he didn't even want to call him uncle anymore, and asked, "I wanted my cousin to marry into the Qiao family, but didn't she marry? Did the Marquis's Mansion suffer any loss?"

"And my mother was indeed injured in Ning'an Marquis's Mansion today. It is unknown whether she is alive or dead at the moment."

"Today, many people must have seen my mother coming to our house. If we carry her out, no one will dare to enter the gate of the Marquis' Mansion in the future."

"After all, no one wants to lose their life."
