Use a substitute on your wedding night to scatter the ashes of your entire family

Qiao'er's hair was disheveled after being slapped several times by the young eunuch. Her face was full of mockery under her loose hair.

The Third Miss was right. The Crown Princess would lose her mind once she met Li Shuangzhi.

Even such a obscure matter was spoken out so suddenly.

Of course, Li Shuangmiao didn't have much rationality left.

Yi Qing covered her face and knelt on the ground: "I didn't, I don't dare."

She grabbed Li Shuangmiao's calf and said, "Crown Princess, please don't go, okay? Don't go!"

Yi Qing's performance was very sincere and heartfelt.

Li Shuangmiao snorted and ordered the two eunuchs beside him: "Are they all dead? Pull this little bitch away from me! If you hurt the baby in my belly, Yi Qing, I will skin you alive and pull out your tendons!"

Two eunuchs came up and hurriedly pulled Yi Qing's hand away from Li Shuangmiao's calf.

Yi Qing didn't use much force to hold her legs. The noise here had already attracted several servants in the mansion. They all saw it. Anyway, she just had to stop it.

Li Shuangmiao looked down at Yi Qing who was crying and begging: "Kneel down here for me. You are not allowed to get up without my order!"

After saying this, he left with a group of people without looking back.

The servants in the mansion who saw this scene immediately fell silent and stepped aside.

Li Shuangmiao walked out angrily, holding the hand of his trusted eunuch.

Li Shuangyan, you are so brave. You discovered it yesterday, and yet you still dared to hide it from me when I came to the Duke's Mansion today!

There is not a single good person in your first wife's house, and I will not let any of them go!

Yi Qing secretly watched Li Shuangmiao turn around the corridor and disappear from his sight. He crossed his legs in front of him, sat on the ground, and let out a long sigh of relief.

Among the dozen people who went to Xingshui Hutong with the Crown Princess today, only Li Shuangmiao is still somewhat useful, and the Crown Prince might still spare her life.

None of the others will survive.

At this moment, in Songhe Hall, Li Shuangmiao left angrily.

The old lady smiled and said, "After a woman becomes pregnant, her temper tends to become strange. Yan'er, don't blame your sister. She is still young and doesn't understand."

The old lady was very satisfied with Li Shuangmiao's angry scolding of the little bitch today, and her depressed mood of the past few days also improved a lot.

"But then again, she is pregnant with a royal heir. Her status is noble and cannot be compared to that of the ministers and their families. Do you think what grandma said makes sense?"

Li Shuangwan smiled faintly: "Grandmother is right. The Crown Princess has made great contributions to the development of the royal family. She is qualified to be arrogant and domineering."

The old lady's expression froze, but she still reached out and put the jade bracelet on Li Shuangwan's hand. "This is what your grandfather gave me. It's a good thing. Now that your grandmother is giving it to you, it can be regarded as representing your grandfather and the ancestors of the Li family to acknowledge your identity as a legitimate daughter of the Duke's Mansion."

"Yes." Li Shuangwan looked at the mutton-fat jade bracelet, his eyes flashing, and sat down next to his mother.

Zhu Anhe looked at her, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

Li Shuangwan winked at her calmly.

Then the old lady continued, "Since Ah Wan is gone, the order of the girls should not be changed. Ah Yan is the eldest girl, the Crown Princess is still the second girl, and Xier is still the third girl."

Zhu Anhe's face changed. Even though Wanwan and Yanyan were the same person, there was no reason to do so.

Over the years, I always think of my daughter who died when I only saw her once, and I also want to give her a status.

Just as she was about to step forward to argue, Li Shuangwan held her back and gently shook his head at her.

Everyone responded in unison.

"According to the old lady's plan, she has also returned. The housekeepers in this mansion..."

The old lady had just started to speak when she was interrupted by Xu, who forced a smile on her face.

"Mother, my sister-in-law has been with my brother in the northwest for so many years. She is not familiar with everything when she just returned to Shengjing. Besides, they will have to go back to the northwest again after a while. It's okay for my wife to work a little, but we can't let my sister-in-law suffer so much right after she comes back."

"Sister-in-law, do you think so?"

Zhu Anhe said calmly, "It's okay to let me take charge. The emperor hasn't issued an order telling us when to return to the northwest. Northern Qi doesn't dare to attack Northern Jin anymore, so they will eventually stay in Shengjing for a while."

Xu laughed and said, "Oh, sister-in-law, look at what you said. Although I live in the back house and I don't know much about military and national affairs, but this northwest gate must be guarded by someone, right? How can the emperor let my brother and Yuan Qiao stay in Shengjing for longer?"

"At most, it will only take a month or two before you have to go back. Sister-in-law, you and brother have always had a good relationship, and you won't want to leave him."

She smiled and said, "I have been in charge of the finances of the Duke's Mansion for nearly twenty years. Although I have not made much contribution, it is really hard work. We have a big family of several hundred people, and we have so many shops, farms, and fields to manage. There is really no free time at all."

"Sister-in-law, you should take a good rest for the next one or two months."

Li Shuangwan smiled faintly: "Second Aunt is really good at guessing the emperor's intentions. She even figured out when the emperor would issue an order for father and brother to return to the northwest."

"Those who know think that Second Aunt just said it casually as usual. Those who don't know think that the Crown Princess's parents have nothing to do in the mansion and are guessing the emperor's intentions every day."

Xu's face turned pale: "Li Shuangyan, what do you mean by this?"

"Oh, it's nothing. I just mentioned it casually."

"Grandma, let me tell you, since this mansion is called the Duke's Mansion, then it is naturally the Duke's wife who is in charge of the household expenses. Otherwise, if this gets out, people will laugh at our Duke's Mansion."

"Of course, if Second Aunt really wants to take charge of the household affairs, she can either go to the palace and ask for permission to change the plaque with the words 'Duke's Mansion' to 'Crown Princess's Mother's House'."

"Or there is another most thorough way, which is to separate the first and second branches. Second Aunt is Second Uncle's legal wife, so naturally, the second aunt will be in charge of the second branch's household affairs."

"No, I don't agree to divide the family!" Xu said anxiously.

The only thing their second branch had was the words "Crown Princess's mother's family" and they didn't get any other benefits at all.

Li Huaiyi is still a fifth-rank official in the Ministry of Works, and Li Yuanming is still the seventh-rank deputy director of the Pacification Bureau.

With just the two of them, they couldn't even support the servants in their second house.

Li Yuanming's face darkened. Ever since Li Shuangyan returned to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, there has not been a single peaceful day in the mansion.

He also said that he was the only disciple of Master Sanqing. He never thought that the world-renowned Master Sanqing would teach a disciple with such character.

He stood up, bowed to the old lady and said, "Grandma, as the saying goes, you can't write two Li characters with one stroke. If my uncle had just been named the Duke of Zhenguo for two days and our Li family had rumors of splitting up, all of us would be ashamed."
