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

Xu rolled her eyes at Ren Dong and slammed the table, saying, "Isn't it for the sake of our eldest wife? If they really want to divide up the property of the Marquis' Mansion, I, a pregnant woman, will have no choice but to watch and cry?"

He gritted his teeth and slapped the table again, "Second House has made a lot of money over the years, right? He's already an official in the court, and when something goes wrong, he still needs the Marquis's Mansion to clean up his mess. How useless!"

Bo Jinxiu took off his boots and lay on the couch and said, "My second brother is such a bad person. When he encounters something, he just grabs around with both hands and can't grab anything!"

"But..." Bo Jinxiu raised his head, "He should have a lot of money from that lucrative job, right? I don't know what to say when he comes back this time."

Xu immediately became alert and said, "I think he is counting on my third brother to help him, so he will definitely come straight to the Marquis' Mansion!"

Bo Jinxiu nodded and threw a grape into his mouth.

"Now that the letter has arrived, I think they are on their way. I will go out and ask around tomorrow to see what the situation is!"

Xu thought that the people that Bo Jinxiu was hanging out with were all bad friends, so she chuckled and said, "Oh, where are you going to ask? You have no official position and you don't know any high-ranking officials, who are you going to ask?"

Bo Jinxiu's dignity was slighted, so he immediately turned over and sat up, pointing to the sky and said, "The people I know are all the rich and powerful in Kyoto, and you just think I'm fooling around when I go out, but I'm just socializing and building good relationships!"

Hearing this, Xu turned her head away and snorted coldly, "I think since we are leaving now, we should not interfere. If the sky falls, we have our third brother to hold it up. Let's calculate how much property the Marquis's Mansion has, so that we don't lose everything when something goes wrong!"

This sentence reminded Bo Jinxiu: "Yes, didn't my sister-in-law ask me to manage the medicine shop the other day? There are still some things that have not been completed. I will go and take this opportunity to inquire about the value of the shop."

Talking about this, Xu and Bo Jinxiu sat together, having planned all night, fearing that they would miss a single teacup.

Seeing that the eldest wife was so irresponsible, the old lady had no choice but to turn around and said with a helpless smile: "I'm going to trouble you again this time."

Bo Jinnian shook his head and said, "This is what a family should do. I will go and inquire about it tomorrow. If I have any news, I will come back and tell the old lady in the evening."

The old lady was really tired. She looked exhausted, with her head down and her face full of worry.

Shen Yiran stood up and went over to comfort her, "Don't worry too much, old lady. I think His Majesty will not be too harsh on this matter for the sake of the Marquis's residence. Besides, she is just implicated, not the main culprit."

"My lady is right, old lady, rest assured."

It was the first time that Shen Yiran heard Bo Jinnian call him like that. He couldn't react in front of the old lady and could only listen and nod.

When they returned together, both children had fallen asleep, so they were carried back first by the servants.

Shen Yiran and Bo Jinnian walked slowly, and it started to rain as they passed through the corridor.

"Have the children arrived? Go check them out quickly, don't get wet!"

Shen Yiran immediately gave orders and Bai Zhi went there in person.

With a smile on his face, Bo Jinnian stretched out his hand to block the willow branches that were blown in by the wind away from Shen Yiran's head.

Shen Yiran looked up and saw it, her cheeks slightly reddened and she lowered her head and said, "Thank you."

"My lady, why are you so polite? You just said that in front of the old lady, and you have already treated my mansion as your own home. As a husband, the old lady loves you. If I don't do something, won't people gossip about me?"

Shen Yiran smiled and lowered his head and said, "My Lord, you are joking. You have saved my life three times. If I still have dissatisfaction, it would be unreasonable."

Bo Jinnian listened, smiled and shook his head: "I'm talking about feelings, you're talking about reason, well, let's do this for now."

After hearing this, Shen Yiran quietly raised his head and glanced at Bo Jinnian. Seeing that he was still smiling, he felt a little relieved.

"My Lord, the imperial court has issued a clear decree prohibiting the sale of private salt. Jiangnan is the salt resale center. The person who dares to do such a thing is definitely not my second brother, a chief clerk. There must be a lot of people behind the scenes who are involved."

Bo Jinnian put away the smile on his face but did not answer, just hummed.

Shen Yiran immediately looked up at Bo Jinnian and said, "My Lord, you don't have to shoulder this matter alone. Although I am not talented, I am also managing the shops of the Marquis' Mansion. I know more about business than you."

Bo Jinnian was speechless and looked at Shen Yiran. Ever since the title fell into his hands, no one had told him that he didn't have to carry it all alone. He had already realized that he had lost the qualifications to say this.

Suddenly hearing Shen Yiran say that, and still so firmly, he was stunned for a moment before nodding and saying, "Well, thank you very much."

Shen Yiran smiled and shook his head: "You are too polite, my Lord."

"There is a huge flow of interests involved, and there have always been people who take risks. I am just curious about how this matter was exposed."

Bo Jinnian nodded: "Yes, this is the key. I can only find out some superficial information tomorrow. As for what happened, I am afraid we can only know it when my second brother returns."

Shen Yiran nodded and said, "I am in charge of this family now. When my second brother comes back, he will definitely return to the Marquis' Mansion. I will send someone to clean up the Songfeng Tower and arrange for maids and servants."

"Hard."

"You're welcome, Lord Marquis."

As they were discussing, they moved forward, and suddenly they both slowed down.

There will be a fork in the road ahead, which way should we go?

Should they go back to Wuyayuan together, or go separately, and should Bo Jinnian go back to the study?

Shen Yiran lowered his head and waited for Bo Jinnian to make a decision.

Bo Jinnian stopped and said, "Take care of the child and have a good rest. Don't worry. I will come and discuss it with you tomorrow after I get some information."

He was going to the study.

Shen Yiran nodded, bowed, and watched Bo Jinnian leave.

There was a feeling of relief and some regret.

Shen Yiran patted his chest, the word "madam" lingering in his mind.

Bai Zhi put the two children to rest and came out to see Shen Yiran alone. She looked at him and asked, "Where is the Marquis?"

"Where's the child, is he asleep?"

Bai Zhi ignored him and just asked, "Just now I saw the Marquis and the young lady discussing something, they were so respectful to each other, they were a perfect match, why didn't the Marquis go back to his room to rest?"

Shen Yiran rubbed Bai Zhi with his fingers: "You are the only one who talks too much."

Bai Zhi smiled and said, "I am still thinking about the young lady. As long as the Marquis is not in the same room, the first room will seize this opportunity to gossip. Now the second room is coming back, I don't know if it will be easy to get along with them!"

Seeing Bai Zhi worried about him, Shen Yiran smiled and said, "Good girl, your young lady will not be defeated no matter who she meets."

The two entered the house, and Shen Yiran said softly: "Besides, I am the wife of the Marquis's Mansion. With this status, they can't do anything to me."

Bai Zhi nodded: "Miss, you are right, but I am still a little worried about the second house. Why don't I go and ask the maids tomorrow?"

"Very good, just don't leave any traces so that people won't notice it."

Bai Zhi obeyed the order and served Shen Yiran to rest, while she also slept in the green gauze cabinet outside.

Who would have thought that the journey was so slow? The second wife sent someone back to the mansion the next day to tell them that the ship had arrived at the dock and they were ready to disembark.

“So fast?”

The old lady was quite surprised.

However, everyone knew that the second branch acted without prior consultation, catching them off guard.
