Catching an adulterer at the beginning, the mistress of the Marquisate went crazy

"I'm sorry, I was rude and shouldn't have asked such a embarrassing question."

"How can I blame you?" Liu Tianshu said with a bitter smile, "Even if the Marquis' Mansion has a thousand faults, I still have the title of Marquis's wife here, and I also have a second-rank imperial decree, a generous dowry, and a life of food and clothing that will allow me to live without worries. I will not leave here."

Having seen Liu Tianshu's disgusted look at Gu Jinyun these days, Mingyi thought she would want to leave, but he didn't expect her to refuse directly.

"Young lady, don't you hate the Marquis?"

"I hate him..."

Liu Tianshu sneered: "It won't affect my taking over everything in the Marquis' Mansion at all. I will be a happy widow in the future..."

A happy widow?

It was the first time that Mingyi heard someone say that being a widow was happy.

"Miss, did you say something wrong?"

"No."

Knowing that Mingyi couldn't understand her current mood, Liu Tianshu didn't explain.

"Ming Yi, I don't know why your master sent you to my side, and I don't want to know when you will leave. I just hope you can tell me clearly when you leave, so that we can part ways in peace."

After saying that, Liu Tianshu looked at the raindrops dripping from the eaves. Without waiting for Mingyi to speak, she continued, "If your master's target is the Marquis' Mansion, please tell me in advance. I will definitely help if I can, and I will leave early if I can't help. I will definitely not cause trouble for your master."

Knowing that Liu Tianshu misunderstood the purpose of his coming to the Marquis' Mansion, Ming Yi said seriously: "Miss, my master has no intention of harming the Marquis' Mansion. If you need anything, I will do it."

"Why does your master help me without asking for anything in return?"

"If a subordinate says that my master likes the young lady, will the young lady believe it?"

"Don't be ridiculous. What is your master's status? Not to mention that I am a married woman, even before I got married, I couldn't get close to a big shot like your master."

"Miss, please don't underestimate yourself. My master..."

Ming Yi suddenly stopped talking halfway through his words, moved slightly, and disappeared into the corridor.

As Ming Yi left, a little maid came quickly over holding an umbrella.

Seeing Liu Tianshu standing under the eaves enjoying the rain, he bowed respectfully.

"Your servant greets Madam..."

"The weather is bad, no need to be polite."

Without waiting for the maid to finish her greetings, Liu Tianshu asked directly, "Ming Cui, you came here now, is there something that Aunt Liu needs?"

"Yes!"

Mingcui bowed to Liu Tianshu.

"Madam, Concubine Liu has been forced to kneel in the yard even on rainy days. Now she is too sick to get out of bed. I hope you can forgive her this time and hire a doctor for her..."

"Ming Cui, you are a loyal person."

Liu Tianshu said coldly: "Since Madam Liu is ill, let the court doctor come over to see her. However, the punishment of kneeling is still necessary, so let her kneel in the room."

"Yes!" Although she had only achieved half of the purpose of her trip, Ming Cui did not dare to say more, for fear that Liu Tianshu would take back even this last bit of grace.

To be fair, Mingcui also disagreed with Liu Tian'ai's plot against Liu Tianjia and felt that she deserved the punishment. However, she was Liu Tian'ai's maid now, so naturally she hoped that her aunt would get better and better.

After leaving Wutongju, Mingcui put on a straw raincoat and went to the court physician's courtyard first.

Those who can work as court doctors in wealthy families usually have pretty bad medical skills, and they are also the best at treating the right patients based on their condition.

Liu Tian'ai had long since fallen out of favor, and it was still raining. After hearing Ming Cui's words, the court physician didn't want to move at all. He just told a medicine boy beside him to go over and take a look.

People have to bow their heads under the roof.

Even though she knew that the medicine boy's medical skills were limited, she could only endure it for the sake of Liu Tian'ai's health.

Liu Tian'ai was really sick this time, and her illness was serious. She was still hoping that Liu Tianshu would consider their sisterly relationship and let her go because of her illness.

Seeing Mingcui leading a man carrying a medicine box over, Liu Tian'ai thought that Liu Tianshu had really let her go, and even the pain in her body was relieved a little.

Liu Tian'ai let the little medicine boy take her pulse and write a prescription. She asked Mingcui to give the little medicine boy a reward of five taels of silver and asked someone to follow the medicine boy to get the medicine.

Ming Cui did not go along this time, but stayed to take care of Liu Tian'er.

"Auntie, are you feeling better?"

Helping Liu Tian'ai lie down on the bed, Mingcui brought her a cup of hot water.

Looking at the hot water brought by Mingcui, Liu Tian'ai frowned.

"Mingcui, no matter how poor our Liuyuan is, it's not to the point where we can't even afford some tea, right?"

"Auntie, the weather has been bad recently and the tea leaves in our house have all gone moldy. I heard that the purchasing department hasn't bought new tea leaves yet. Please drink more hot water to warm your body..."

Hearing Mingcui's words, Liu Tian'ai frowned slightly.

"How can a dignified Marquisate not even be able to afford tea? How does Liu Tianshu manage to be the head of the family?"

Mingcui didn't dare to answer the call.

Sick people already have a bland taste in their mouths, and after drinking the tasteless boiled water, Liu Tian'ai only felt her mouth dry and bitter.

"Mingcui, since there is no tea in the warehouse, let's go out and buy some to drink."

After saying that, Liu Tian'ai gestured to her to take money from the cash box to buy tea.

"Yes!" Hearing Liu Tian'er's words, Mingcui took out a twenty-tael silver note from the money box and was about to walk out the door.

"Remember to buy me some candied fruit snacks when you come back."

"Yes!"

Ming Cui responded respectfully and walked out the door.

The weather has been bad recently and Mingcui didn't want to go out at all. After leaving Liu Tian'ai's room, she found a maid who was quite skillful and asked her to run errands for her. After giving the maid fifteen taels of silver, she went straight back to her room.

The old lady sent her and Minglu to the Marquis's Mansion to win the Marquis's heart.

Originally, they didn't care whether to follow Liu Tianshu or Liu Tian'ai.

They have been in Liuyuan for almost a month, but have never seen the Marquis come over. They are already getting impatient.

This Liu Tian'ai seemed to be a very smart person when she was in the Liu family. Unexpectedly, after coming to the Marquis' Mansion, not only could she not win the Marquis' heart, but she was also punished to kneel in the yard for half a day every day.

There is no concubine as useless as this in the entire capital.

If it weren't for the fact that she was still half-master of the Marquis's Mansion and had money in her hands, she wouldn't bother to care about her life or death.

Looking up at the raindrops dripping outside the window, Mingcui sighed.

When will the rain stop? It really delayed her plans.

At this moment, Minglu walked in from outside, saw Mingcui sighing, walked over, and asked with concern: "You are fine, why are you sighing?"

"Don't you feel like sighing after following a useless master?"

Minglu reminded: "These are only temporary. Don't forget the real purpose of the old lady sending us to the Marquis' Mansion."

"I certainly won't forget the important things."

Mingcui said helplessly, "We don't know when this rain will stop. The Marquis has not come to Liuyuan. Do we have to go directly to Fuguangyuan or Wutongju?"
