Not long after Cuizhi left, Nanny Zhao came back.

Normally, Aunt Zhao is a steady and gentle old woman, but this time, she was unusually angry and visibly angry.

She entered Yun's bedroom. Although her face was still as gentle as usual, her eyes were more severe and murderous than ever before. Her hands, hidden in her sleeves, were trembling slightly (because she was angry).

"This old servant greets the young lady." Although Nanny Zhao had raised Yun, she was always courteous and considerate, and never relied on her achievements to gain prestige.

"Mammy, have you found anything?"

Yun pretended to be calm, but looking at the look in the nanny's eyes, she already understood something in her heart.

"Miss." Nanny Zhao responded, her tone filled with pity and anger.

The pity was for Yun, and the anger was naturally directed at Xiahou Wenyuan, who was a scumbag beyond her imagination.

"Miss, I have quietly gone to Tianshui Lane to ask the neighbors. There is indeed a courtyard in that lane that has been rented out. Although the courtyard is small, it is also exquisite. The permanent residents are a family of three, with several maids and servants serving them.

The family had lived in this courtyard for more than ten years, but the male owner was often not at home. Even when he came back, he was always in a hurry, and the neighbors had almost never seen the male owner's true face.

Today, the mistress of the yard also gave birth, and the husband was at home. Strangely, for some unknown reason, the husband was struck by a thunderbolt on a sunny day.

"Struck by lightning?" Speaking of this, Yun was no longer sleepy.

She clearly remembered that her daughter had said in her heart that she wanted to kill her scumbag father. Was it really so effective?

Madam Zhao nodded and smiled, "I was curious, so I went up to take a peek. Miss, guess what, the person who was struck was actually the Marquis.

Although he was chopped black and unrecognizable, I will not make a mistake. Ninety-nine percent of the time, it is him."

Madam Zhao couldn't help laughing when she thought of the man in Tianshui Lane, whose body was covered in smoke, whose hair was burnt and standing upright, and who was so confused that he didn't know where to go.

He reacted with a start, realizing that this smile was like rubbing salt into Yun's wounded heart, and he tried hard to hold it back.

But the aftereffect was so strong that it made her liver ache.

But then I thought, a short pain is worse than a long one. It is better for the young lady to know it earlier than to be kept in the dark.

And this time the young lady sent her to investigate Tianshui Lane, it seemed that she knew something in advance.

Yun was infected by Madam Zhao and imagined Xiahou Wenyuan's embarrassing look when he was struck by lightning. She couldn't help but burst out laughing. This scumbag deserved it and should be struck by lightning.

At the same time, I felt secretly sorry that the lightning should have struck more violently so that the scumbag would die.

Haha, more than ten years. Xiahou Wenyuan actually kept a mistress in Tianshui Lane for more than ten years without telling her.

He kept it a secret from her, which made her laugh. She still believed in Xiahou Wenyuan's character as a man who doted on his wife, saying that she was the only one and he didn't even have a concubine.

Hahaha……

It turns out that a biting dog really doesn't bark. Under the appearance of a man who dotes on his wife, he is actually so, so unbearable.

When she thought of Cuizhi and the things that Yun Mansion brought back for her, her heart sank.

She was born into a prominent family in the capital. Her father was the imperial tutor and grand tutor of Peiheng Taimiao. Her elder brother was also an important official in the court who held real power.

Although Xiahou Wenyuan is handsome and suave, he has a very strong sense of self-esteem.

That year, he saved her from robbers and fell in love with her at first sight.

In order to ask her to marry him, he knelt at the gate of Yun Mansion for three days and three nights.

She still remembered that on the third day of Xiahou Wenyuan's pursuit, it rained heavily. However, Xiahou Wenyuan did not back down at all. He stood still in the rain and shouted with all his might: Xiahou Wenyuan, with all my heart, I beg you to marry the Yun family's legitimate daughter.

She was so moved that she decided to marry him despite her parents' opposition.

It is pitiful to see the love of parents in the world. Seeing how determined she was, her parents, although extremely reluctant, finally agreed to her wish and let her marry Xiahou Wenyuan.

Although the old man and the old lady of the Yun family were against it, they prepared the same dowry for her, and even more, just so that she would have something to rely on and live a better life.

She followed her husband wherever he went, and for Xiahou Wenyuan's poor self-esteem and emotions, and not wanting to be accused of using his wife's power, she had not returned to her parents' home for 19 years and had cut off all contact with her parents.

After doing so much, she never expected that her scumbag husband would do so many dirty and shameless things behind her back.

It was ridiculous that she thought she had married a good man and had a beautiful wife. But she didn't expect that when she was having sex, he praised the beauty of her calligraphy and begged her to learn her handwriting. But she never thought that he was just trying to imitate her handwriting and set a trap for her and the entire Yun Mansion.

What was even more heartbreaking was that the thing that would bring about the extermination of the entire family was buried outside the window of her boudoir in the Yun Mansion, under her favorite osmanthus tree.

Hahaha, Yun laughed, but as she laughed, she started to cry.

Osmanthus, osmanthus, the flower of wealth. Unfortunately, the thing buried under this osmanthus tree is the wealth of the Loyalty Marquis Mansion, and her Yun family has become the stepping stone for the Loyalty Marquis Mansion to take off again.

For more than ten years, she has been living in the lies that Xiahou Wenyuan had specially made for her without realizing it.

If God had not had mercy on her and heard her daughter's voice, she would never have known until her death that the one who would destroy the Yun family would be her husband who "cherished her" so much.

If you think about it carefully, ever since she entered the Xiahou Mansion, Old Lady Xiahou handed over the power of housekeeper to her and let her be in charge of the household affairs, which was also a calculation.

To the outside world, the Marquis's Mansion boasts that it values ​​its daughter-in-law and that as soon as she enters the house, she is asked to do the work of a housekeeper.

But in fact, only she knew that the Marquis' Mansion was only glamorous on the outside, but had long been in serious deficit on the inside.

The ancestor of the Xiahou family, as a small soldier, followed Taizu to conquer the world. When attacking the important town of Youyang, he was lucky enough to be the first to reach the city, and Taizu rewarded him with great wealth.

But the Marquis of Loyalty's Mansion had a weak foundation after all. Old Master Xiahou came from a grassroots background, joined the army, could not read or write, but he spent his entire life laying the foundation of the Marquisate.

Old Lady Xiahou was born in a manor and was illiterate, but fortunately she was fertile and gave birth to four sons, all of whom followed the old marquis in battles, won military exploits, and received countless rewards. The Loyal Marquis's Mansion was extremely prominent at that time.

Unfortunately, swords are merciless and battlefields are ruthless, and the four sons died in battle one after another. By the time of Xiahou Wenyuan's generation, their martial arts skills had become weak, and they had no choice but to turn to the path of a civil servant.

But it is even more difficult to get into the civil service circle.

Xiahou Wenyuan was the eldest son of the family and the most outstanding one. However, the civil servants and noble families all accumulated wealth over several generations to achieve their current status. Moreover, the noble families were closely related by marriage, and they prospered together. It was not easy for outsiders to enter that circle.

Moreover, there is no one in the Xiahou family who is good at business. Although the ancestors earned a lot of rewards and properties, they just lived off the wealth and the house was already empty.

With the help of Zu Meng and some money, Xiahou Wenyuan was able to secure a sinecure as a Deputy Director of the Ministry of Rites.

The Xiahou family is in urgent need of help from the Yue family, who are prominent and well-connected, and the Yun family, who are the emperor's teachers, are the best candidates for marriage.

After Yun came into the family and took charge of the household affairs, he discovered that the Marquis's Mansion was just an empty shell.

But at that time, she was blinded by love and fell deeply in love with Xiahou Wenyuan. In order to prevent him from worrying about money and focusing on his career, she used her dowry to fill the void and prop up the stall of the Marquis' Mansion.
