Fu Yuyao, who was in a state of disarray, was sobered up by the cold wind: "No, Brother Yan won't treat me like that, he won't fall in love with someone else, no!"

In order to verify it immediately, Fu Yuyao rushed to Shuntian Prefecture like lightning. Before she got off her horse, she ran into the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo coming out with red eyes.

Lin glanced at her and was furious: "Shameless thing, my Yan'er was seduced by you! Now he has learned to hang out in brothels, get jealous of prostitutes, and fight..."

what?

Has Brother Yan really fallen in love with someone else?

The blow was too great, and Fu Yuyao's thin body swayed, and she was about to fall off the horse.

In fact, Fu Yuyao did fall from the horse. She was grabbed off the horse by the angry wife of the Duke of Zhenguo and thrown heavily onto the hard bluestone ground.

"You unlucky girl, ever since my son hooked up with you, you've been plagued by bad luck!"

"Why don't you just die—"

Lin yelled and kicked.

It turned out that the governor of Shuntian Prefecture had received a hint from Gao Ni that he would refuse bail in a murder case and insisted on detaining Gao Yan. Even handing in a 1,000-liang silver note would be useless.

Mrs. Lin was getting extremely angry, and Fu Yuyao came to her door on her own initiative. Naturally, all her resentment was transferred to Fu Yuyao, and Mrs. Lin hysterically used her as a punching bag!

He also called a few old women to join in the siege.

Fu Yuyao was in such a miserable state, she was beaten so hard that her whole body was in great pain and she fainted!

Finally, the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture couldn't stand it anymore and ordered a bailiff to send her back to the Jingyang Marquis' Mansion.

The second wife, Mrs. Qiao, cried loudly again, but we won’t mention her here.

~

Two days later at dusk, there was a dinner party at the Marquis of Jingyang's mansion, and the table was set in Madam Fu's Ciren Hall.

The Marquis's Mansion has three branches. The first branch has no children and the third branch has not yet married. Only the second branch has two sons: one is the eldest master Fu Jingxuan, and the other is the second master Fu Jingming.

Among them, the second young master Fu Jingming was the one who sold Fu Yuzheng to a brothel.

At the dinner table, Madam Fu suddenly mentioned studies and said to Fu Xiaotian:

"Your two nephews are the only descendants of our mansion. You should at least pay attention to their academic problems."

Fu Xiaotian said seriously, "Why, you don't want to study hard? That's easy. I'll go to my study room tonight. If you can't recite, I'll whip you hard. After 17 or 18 times, you'll improve."

Madam Fu: ...

Second wife Qiao: ...

Second Master Fu Xiaolin: ...

Are they trying to beat their precious son to death?

The second wife, Mrs. Qiao, hurriedly explained, "Brother, you don't have to supervise it yourself. It's because the academy your nephew attends is too bad. He hasn't passed the imperial examination in ten years. Shanlu Academy is better. Eighty to ninety out of a hundred students can pass the exam!"

Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that Shanlu Academy is much better.

Fu Xiaotian nodded: "Then transfer to another school."

Qiao was overjoyed: "Brother, do you agree?"

Fu Xiaotian: "Well, according to the admission process of Shanlu Academy, you can go in if you can pass the exam." If you can't pass the exam, then there is nothing to say.

Qiao: "...There is a second option. One place costs one thousand and two taels of silver." Go through the back door.

They have two children and are short of two thousand taels. When he said this, he quickly gave his mother-in-law a look.

Madam Fu cleared her throat and said, "Two thousand taels of silver is worth it in exchange for the future of your two nephews. But you know your second brother's salary is a little too little to support him. As the eldest uncle, please help out a little."

Fu Yuzheng understood. Was this a way of taking advantage of the first wife and spending money to support the second wife?

Haha, in her previous life, her parents were really kind-hearted, and she became the victim.

Who will spoil them in this life?

Fu Yuzheng thought for a moment and said with a smile, "Grandma, it's only two thousand taels of silver, not much. As long as my two brothers study hard and make progress, everything will be fine. My parents will take care of the money."

Fu Yuzheng secretly winked at her parents. Fu Xiaotian and Tao Ying didn't know what their little daughter was up to, but they trusted her and nodded in cooperation tacitly.

This made Old Madam Fu and Second Madam Qiao very happy.

Fu Yuzheng looked around at the people in the dining room and asked deliberately, "Hey, why is only the eldest brother here? Where is the second brother? He is so studious, why didn't he come for dinner?"

This compliment was well deserved, and Mrs. Qiao was proud of it. "Yes, your second brother has been studying very hard recently, and he stays in the study room as soon as school is over. In order to save time, we take all the food to the study room."

Fu Yuzheng suddenly realized: "Is that so. Then I'll go see my second brother. He's really motivated. Two thousand silver is nothing. Give it to me!"

Since Fu Yuzheng learned to be a housekeeper, she has indeed been able to take charge of the main house. Mrs. Qiao happily asked the maid to lead the way.

Unexpectedly, a quarter of an hour later, the maid hurried back to Ciren Hall: "Old Madam, Second Madam, something bad has happened. The Second Young Master is not in the study. He disappeared out of thin air."

"What? Missing?"

Madam Fu and Mrs. Qiao were so frightened that they stopped eating and ran to the study.

Fu Xiaotian and Tao Ying brought their entire family to watch.

In the study, Fu Yuzheng had already interrogated the servant and pried open the drawer, throwing a stack of IOUs from the gambling house on the table.

"Bet, bet, bet money?"

Seeing the huge sums of money on the gambling house's IOUs, Second Wife Qiao was so angry that she felt dizzy and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Second Master Fu Xiaolin supported her.

Fu Yuzheng came to Fu Xiaotian with an IOU. Daddy is the head of the family, and some things still need his approval:

"Dad, my second brother must have gone to the Silver Hook Gambling House again. Send someone to capture him! Find out how much foreign debt he owes and interrogate him thoroughly!"

Fu Xiaotian knew that his youngest daughter had found out everything about the gambling house in the past few days and was going to settle accounts with Fu Jingming and avenge being sold to Chunxiang Tower.

Nodding immediately, Fu Xiaotian called the steward of the mansion and ordered him to take a team of guards and go to the gambling house to arrest the person in person.

Fu Yuzheng chased out and told the housekeeper: "Please bring back the gambling house owner as well."

Half an hour later, Fu Jingming, tied up, was brought in.

"Son, what's wrong with you?"

Mrs. Qiao screamed, and saw that Fu Jingming's winter clothes and trousers had been stripped off, leaving only his half-shirt and trousers which were not cold-resistant. Mrs. Qiao thought her son was being abused, and she immediately held the housekeeper who went to arrest him accountable.

Fu Yuzheng sneered and said, "Second Aunt, please be patient and listen to what the gambling house owner has to say."

The gambling house owner immediately stepped forward to explain: "After the second young master of the mansion lost all his money, he was reluctant to stop and used his winter coat and trousers as collateral. In the end, he lost again and took off his winter coat and trousers."

As long as it is not illegal, the gambling house owner is not afraid at all.

Qiao was so angry that she slapped Fu Jingming: "You useless thing!"

Fu Yuzheng sneered in her heart, this is just the beginning, just wait and see. She winked at the gambling house owner.

The gambling house owner understood and hurriedly took out the account book, flipping through the pages one by one: "This is the one hundred taels that the second young master owed half a year ago, this is the two hundred taels that he owed three months ago... This is the forty thousand taels that he owed in the past two days."

"A total of 40,400 taels. Pay me back!"

The owner of the gambling house asked Qiao for money.

Qiao was shocked: "In the first six months, he owed a total of 400 taels, and in the past two days, he owed 40,000 taels???"

The gambling house owner explained: "Yes, it was a doubling game. The second young master had 20,000 taels in his pocket, so he bet 40,000 taels. If he loses, he will directly owe 40,000 taels."

Qiao argued: "It's impossible. Where did he get the 20,000 yuan capital?"

Twenty thousand is not a small amount for the second wife. They can’t even afford the two thousand taels from the transfer. Even if the son steals from the account office, he can’t steal that much!!!

Of course Fu Yuzheng knew that it was the money earned from reselling her virginity... it was dirty money.
