We are all reborn, of course we have to overthrow it and start over again to take the whole family f

In the rockery cave outside the window of the Rongxitang Buddhist Hall, Xiahou Houyue covered Xiahou Xunyou's mouth tightly.

Although Hou Yue was older, she was a girl with a slender figure, while Xunyou was chubby. Hou Yue had to use a lot of strength to barely cover Xunyou's mouth to prevent him from making any sound.

Just like that, beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

She put her mouth close to Xunyou's ear and said in a very soft and low voice: "If you want to live, don't make a sound."

They even wanted to murder the eldest brother Changfeng. If they knew about the two of them and heard all their secrets, the two children would probably die.

The two little ones lay down behind the rockery early in the morning.

Hou Yue was cold-hearted but intelligent. When she saw her mother (Yun) being taken away by the imperial guards, she did not cry or panic. Instead, she stopped Xunyou who wanted to go with Yun and patiently persuaded her with words.

She looked at her grandmother and aunt coldly. Although they howled a few times when Yun was taken away, their intention was more to howl for the Imperial Guards to hear, as they were afraid that the Marquis' Mansion would be implicated.

As soon as the Royal Guards left, my grandmother and aunt stopped howling, and there was even a sense of pride in their eyes, as if they had gotten what they wanted.

Although the two of them concealed it well, Hou Yue still saw through it.

She became suspicious and pulled Xunyou with her to quietly search for this extremely hidden Buddhist temple which was very close to where Old Lady Xiahou was worshipping Buddha.

The old lady wants quiet time when she worships Buddha and doesn't like to be disturbed, so the Buddhist temple is located in a secluded place and few people come here on weekdays.

Although the two little ones had short legs and small steps, Hou Yue anticipated the enemy's move and hid before Xiahou and her daughter arrived.

Hou Yue's prediction was accurate. In the Buddhist temple, the mother and daughter first chatted about some random things. It was nothing more than how to arrange and enjoy the wealth that was about to come.

Not long after, Xiahou Wenyuan also came.

Sure enough, from their conversation, the two children learned that it was their doing that Yun was captured.

And in their mouths, the noble lady who was about to be obtained would destroy the Yun family and the Yun clan.

Xiahou San'e eats the human blood steamed bun with great relish.

Xunyou couldn't help it anymore, clenched his fists, and wanted to hit them, but Hou Yue, who was always alert, grabbed him and covered his mouth tightly.

Hou Yue's words were like a basin of cold water, instantly waking up Xunyou's remaining sanity.

At this time, going out would mean giving away your life.

But Xunyou's anger reached its peak. He clenched his teeth and big, hot tears soaked Hou Yue's white, tender and small fingers and rolled to the ground.

As for Hou Yue, her eyes were also filled with tears, but she was older after all and knew how serious the situation was, so she tried her best to hold it back.

After all, there were two people. The stone cave of the rockery was small, and Xunyou was fat. After a while of struggling, a piece of rockery stone fell to the ground with a "bang" sound.

Who?

The sound of falling stones attracted the attention of Xiahou and the other two. Xiahou Wenyuan quickly drew out the sword he carried with him.

The sword flashed a cold and eerie light, and the blade whistled faintly, lingering with a murderous aura nourished by countless blood. It was the weapon that the old marquis used when he followed Emperor Taizu to fight and climb the city.

He held the sword in one hand and opened the window with the other, looking vigilantly at the garden outside.

If there really is someone eavesdropping through the wall, he will kill him.

What they just said was the kind that could only be put into the coffin and rot away, and they would never allow it to be overheard by others.

The breeze was blowing gently, and the long willow branches of the big willow tree next to the rockery were intertwined and slapped against the rockery.

A magpie was hit by a willow branch and chirped a few times. When it flapped its wings, it knocked down a loose stone.

Oh, it turns out to be a magpie.

Xiahou Wenyuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but the sword in his hand was still held and not sheathed.

"Brother, what's wrong?"

Xiahou Wenyan, who heard the noise, followed her brother and also leaned over to observe.

"Nothing, just a magpie."

"The magpie's call means good news is coming. This is a good sign and should be fine." Old Mrs. Xiahou said lightly, fiddling with the Buddhist beads in her hand.

"Tuk tuk tuk..."

There was a knock on the door, and an old maid outside Rong Xitang reported through the door.

"Madam, someone is coming from the palace. Lord Xuan, enter the palace immediately."

"Really? That's great, that's great." Xiahou Wenyan was young after all, and couldn't suppress her excitement. "No wonder the magpie called just now. It really is a good omen."

"Yuan'er, go quickly and don't keep the people in the palace waiting for too long."

The expressionless old lady Xiahou was also smiling like a blooming old chrysanthemum. She finally managed to step on the hateful Yun family, hahaha...

"Yes, mother. I'll go change my clothes and go." Xiahou Wenyuan excitedly put away his sword and went to change his clothes.

"Someone from the palace told you that you don't need to change your clothes and can enter the palace immediately."

The old nanny relayed the words of Liu Sanquan, the palace servant who delivered the imperial edict. Liu Sanquan was indeed a shrewd person who mixed with the emperor. He predicted Xiahou Wenyuan's prediction.

"In that case, Yuan'er, you should go quickly. This matter cannot be delayed." Old Mrs. Xiahou also began to urge. She didn't want to wait another minute.

Watching Xiahou Wenyuan's back, the old lady said to her daughter, "Yan'er, you have to get ready. Firecrackers, red silk, and wedding money must all be arranged."

Xiahou Wenyan, who was so happy that she wanted to jump for joy just now, her face suddenly turned dark when she heard the arrangement.

"Mom, these arrangements will cost a lot of money, but now the money in the account is not enough."

Money is a person's courage. Without much money, Xiahou Wenyan would be too timid to speak and would stammer.

She is now in charge of the Marquis' Mansion, but Yun only handed over the account books and household supplies of the Marquis' Mansion to her. She did not give her her dowry, private property, or the people who came with her as a dowry.

Xiahou Wenyan is just a head of the family in name only, with no money and no people.

Since she took over the household, she had tried every possible way to cut down on daily household expenses so that they could barely make ends meet. However, this had already caused dissatisfaction among the servants.

"How come there is no money?" Old Mrs. Xiahou was skeptical, as she had only been in charge of the household for a few days.

"Mom, you know, sister-in-law...she didn't give me much money. Now, everything requires money. A few days ago, someone from my hometown in Youyang came to collect the money, saying that it was decided when the old marquis was alive, and she, she also gave it when she was in charge of the family. I, I have to give it."

Xiahou Wenyan pouted half complaining and half resentful, looking very dissatisfied.

"Okay, stop nagging. Go with Nanny Song to get one thousand taels of silver and use it first. Just get through this hurdle first and everything will be fine."

Old Madam Xiahou, very reluctantly, ordered her personal maid to take Xiahou Wenyan to get the silver.

This money was given to her by Yun during festivals over the years. She was reluctant to spend it and saved it all as her own money.

"Yes, mother. Yan'er will make good arrangements."
