Reborn to be a mistress, she went crazy killing the legitimate daughter

"Madam, I heard that the second young master sent a letter home! The old lady looked unhappy after reading it."

Xu lay in bed, sulking all day long.

The old lady no longer allowed her to go out, of course, on the grounds of taking care of the pregnancy, as a punishment.

However, Bo Jinxiu did not share the same hatred with the enemy. Instead, he only came back once every few days and was often not seen. When he came back, he would fall asleep immediately without saying a word.

The child that Xu had always been proud of had now become a burden to her. She began to doubt whether being pregnant was a good thing.

Just when he was thinking about how to break the impasse and pull Shen Yiran down, he didn't expect to hear news about the second room again.

Bo Jinjue from the second house is a noble man. He did not inherit the title, but instead earned his fame through his own examinations and is a man of pure character.

However, Xu knew that her second brother was a hollow person, who was only aloof but had no talent.

His Majesty, seeing that he came from a marquis's family, gave him an official position as Inspector of the Tea and Salt Road and immediately took up the post in Jiangnan.

Although it was just a position similar to that of a chief clerk, he mostly dealt with tea and salt merchants and reviewed procedures. I heard it was a lucrative job.

It was also because of this that Bo Jinjue never returned to Kyoto after leaving the Marquis' Mansion.

Xu sneered, "I guess the autumn frost must have hit the eggplant, and it's wilted!"

Xu asked Rendong to help her dress up, and then went to Jingxin Hall.

Everyone in the room was sitting down, not only Shen Yiran was there, but even Bo Jinnian was sitting down. The two little kids were hiding behind Shen Yiran, and when they saw her coming they backed away, which was annoying to look at.

When Xu arrived, the old lady looked up and asked, "Where is Bo Jinxiu?"

Xu had no choice but to sit down slowly and said, "The old lady asked me, how can I know how he is doing outside when I am in the mansion?"

The old lady was already worried, and when she heard these harsh words, she endured it and said, "Well, it's the same as if there is someone in the first house!"

As he spoke, he spread the letter out on the table.

"Bo Jinjue was framed by his colleagues while in office and was implicated in the smuggling of salt. The crime could be serious or minor, and he could be demoted or exiled. If Your Majesty gets angry, he could be sentenced to death."

Xu thought he was just demoted, but she didn't expect it to be so serious, and it might involve the Marquis's Mansion. She immediately covered her stomach and cried, "Old Madam, I can't stand hearing this. Tell Bo Jinxiu to come back soon!"

Xu thought that if they wanted to divide the family now, how could a woman like her defeat Bo Jinnian and Shen Yiran? She had to call Bo Jinxiu as well.

He immediately pushed Ren Dong and said, "Just say something happened in the Marquis' Mansion, and be sure to come back!"

Rendong more or less understood what Xu meant, so she turned around and ran out without caring about the rules.

Coincidentally, just as Bo Jin was heading home, the playboy's father, who had been scheduled to treat guests today, came back early and asked him to go back. Everyone was very disappointed and said goodbye to each other and went home.

When Ren Dong ran out of the house, she saw Bo Jinxiu slowly getting off the carriage. She hurried forward and whispered, "Master, you're back! The second master has committed a crime and I heard he might be beheaded. The old lady and the others are waiting for you in Jingxin Hall!"

This sentence scared the slightly drunk Bo Jinxiu so much that he almost tripped. After scolding Rendong, he immediately picked up the front of his clothes and ran into the mansion.

Honeysuckle followed behind and came to the meditation hall.

Bo Jinxiu knew that Rendong was a little silly, and he thought that Xu might have deliberately said something harsh, so he should go back quickly.

But when I reached the door, I saw a brightly lit meditation hall where everyone was sitting with sullen faces. The atmosphere was solemn, and I couldn't help but slow down my pace.

What will happen? What will happen? What will the old lady plan? Naturally, she will do her best to help the second brother.

The third brother will naturally obey.

But what if everyone in the Marquis' Mansion is really implicated?

How much can I get if the family is divided? If I divide it now, can I include my second brother's share?

Bo Jinxiu's mind raced as he walked in.

"Now that you are here, sit down. There is something important to tell you. Since you are the eldest son, you need to express your opinion first."

The old lady told the story, and it turned out that Honeysuckle was not exaggerating at all.

How could Bo Jinxiu be the first to speak out? He cupped his hands and said, "The old lady is still alive. It's not my turn to make the decision. I'll leave it to the old lady to decide."

The old lady turned to look at Bo Jinnian and Shen Yiran, and said to Shen Yiran specifically: "You just married into the Marquis' Mansion, and you haven't enjoyed a few days of relaxing life. You have to be the housekeeper and manage the store. Now that this has happened, the Marquis' Mansion is not what you expected when you married in, right?"

Shen Yiran stood up, bowed and said, "I cannot answer what the old lady said. Being able to join the Marquis' Mansion is a blessing that I have cultivated for three lifetimes. It is the best plan my mother has made for me. I am not dissatisfied, nor am I disappointed."

"Now that the Second House is in trouble, I, like the Marquis, intend to do my best to help. We are all members of the Bo family, and we should unite and work together when disaster strikes."

The old lady nodded excitedly, stood up with the dragon-headed cane, and held Shen Yiran's hand tightly: "Well, you are worthy of being the daughter-in-law of my mansion!"

Xu turned her head and snorted coldly: "You just say what the old lady wants to hear!"

The old lady patted Shen Yiran's hand and sat down again, her expression not as heavy anymore.

"Okay, since everyone has decided this way, let's do our best!"

Xu was very dissatisfied. Why did Shen Yiran feel wronged but she didn't?

Then he rubbed his belly and said, "I'm nervous, and you're nervous too."

Seeing this, Bo Jinxiu took the opportunity to wink and said, "Since you are not feeling well, go down first."

Xu glared at Bo Jinxiu angrily. Is this what they call husband and wife?

She wasn't acting to run away, Bo Jinxiu misunderstood!

Xu was about to speak, but the old lady stopped her and said, "You are pregnant and not feeling well, so I won't let you worry about this matter. Go and get some rest."

"Honeysuckle, serve the Madam well and go back."

When Rendong heard the old lady's order, she came over to support immediately.

Who knew that when Xu stood up, Bo Jinxiu came over and pretended to support her, but in fact he twisted Xu's arm.

Xu couldn't help but let out a cry, and Bo Jinxiu immediately said, "I'm really worried about your health. Let me go back with you!"

Xu's eyes were full of reproach, but she was carried away by Bo Jinxiu.

"What? I won't leave! What if they are planning something behind our backs? It would be a shame if our eldest family is kept in the dark!"

Bo Jinxiu tugged at his clothes and cursed, "You think we're going to split up the family soon! Are you stupid? Now it's time to decide who will contribute, what are we doing here? Are we waiting to be assigned a hard job?"

Xu finally came to her senses and slowly sat down and said, "You are right. Since the title has been inherited by my third brother, he will naturally be the one to take the responsibilities if something goes wrong. Why would he care about our eldest brother's affairs?"

"But didn't you see how the old lady treated the third wife just now? Everyone is a daughter-in-law, so why is it that Shen Yiran is the only one who feels wronged?"

Bo Jinxiu rolled his eyes at Xu: "Didn't you say you couldn't make a decision and gave up the opportunity?"
