Raising a concubine under her nose, the reborn mistress marries the prince

After Butcher Zhang was arrested, Chen panicked.

If Butcher Zhang confessed, it was Chen who instructed him to sneak into the concubine's yard.

The Marquis will divorce her, and she will no longer have a place to stand in the capital.

There won’t be another stepmother as vicious as this one in the capital.

Her son's future will be affected and her daughter won't have to get married.

"Miss! Just as you expected, Chen found someone to bribe the jailer, but was stopped by our people." Xia Qi reported.

The young lady told them that the man today was not a thief, but was let in by the eldest lady to defile the third young lady. The servants in Avon Court were all shocked.

How could there be such a vicious mistress?

Jiang Chuwei: "Let Chen be in panic for a few days."

If it weren't for Lu Yanling's reputation, Jiang Chuwei would have asked Butcher Zhang to tell the truth.

"Miss! Why don't you let the thief tell the truth and say that it was Chen who ordered it?" Xia Qi asked.

"Then the Third Miss's reputation will be ruined." Jiang Chuwei also wanted to kill Chen this time, but then the news that Lu Yanling was betrothed to Zhang the Butcher would spread like wildfire.

It will be even more difficult for the third young lady to get married in the future.

In the end, after working for a long time, I was unable to help her, and the result was the same as in the previous life.

"But what if the thief tells the truth?"

Xia Qi felt very sympathetic towards the Third Miss. When she tried to stop her as instructed by the Miss, the Third Miss' body was shaking all the time.

At that time, Xia Qi was very glad that she was the young lady's maid.

The young lady asked her to learn martial arts so that at least she could protect herself.

The young lady has always treated these maids and nannies as her own family, and no one dared to bully them, whether in the general's mansion or the marquis's mansion.

On the other hand, the third young lady, who was considered a respectable young lady in the Marquis's Mansion, was sold by her stepmother to a butcher whose wife had died, and was also plotted against.

"Then he won't dare to say anything. Butcher Zhang has a son. Go get his son's personal belongings and send someone to deliver them to him. Then he won't dare to say anything nonsense."

Butcher Zhang was caught as soon as he sneaked into the marquis's mansion. As long as the owner did not hold on to him, the Jingzhao Prefecture would at most beat him up and lock him up for a few days, which would be considered a lesson.

Chen will also find a way to make him shut up.

Chen Yulan was terrified for a few days, and finally she breathed a sigh of relief when no rumors unfavorable to her were spread.

However, she really didn't dare to accept this marriage.

The third young lady managed to escape the disaster.

Lu Yanling brought a purse that she had embroidered herself.

Look at the tight stitching and vivid pattern.

Although the material is not very good, you can tell at a glance that it was made with great care.

Jiang Chuwei accepted it: "You are quite skillful."

Lu Yanling: "Sister-in-law! I hope you don't mind!"

Jiang Chuwei actually felt uncomfortable when she heard Lu Yanling call her sister-in-law.

She didn't want to have anything to do with Lu Yanke.

Jiang Chuwei suppressed this discomfort.

"Since you are here today, why not have dinner here!" Jiang Chuwei saw that she smiled more today, so she probably wouldn't commit suicide!

"Is it really possible?" Lu Yanling was surprised.

"Sit there and eat together!" Born in a marquis's mansion, this child is also pitiful.

"Sister-in-law! If you need anything in the future, just tell me. My life belongs to you."

Only Jiang Chuwei, who had actually died once, understood these words.

It seems that I really saved Lu Yanling's life.

If Butcher Zhang succeeded in killing her, she would jump into the well and die like she did in her previous life.

Jiang Chuwei's mood also improved as she looked at the woman with a bright smile.

Lu Yanling talked a lot today, and Jiang Chuwei saw her appearance when she was thirteen years old again.

"What are your plans for the future?" Jiang Chuwei asked.

"What's your plan?" Lu Yanling was stunned.

"In the future, the eldest lady will help you to find a marriage partner." Jiang Chuwei reminded.

She can help her temporarily, but she can't help her forever.

The only way Lu Yanling could avoid being sold out was to take control of her own destiny.

Jiang Chuwei also didn't want the life she saved to be killed by Chen.

"Sister-in-law, can you teach me how to do it?" Lu Yanling said.

"You can only save yourself if you stand up on your own." Jiang Chuwei looked at her.

"I will go find my mother," said Lu Yanling.

Jiang Chuwei knew that she understood him.

People cannot always give in, otherwise they will be bullied further by others.

After Lu Yanling left, Xia Qi felt very strange: "Miss, why do I feel like the Third Miss has become a different person?"

“When a person is forced into a desperate situation, there are two possible outcomes. One is to give up and allow oneself to be bullied without resistance, which will only make life worse.

One is to rise up and resist, the worst that can happen is death."

Xia Qi seemed to understand, but not quite.

But saving the third young lady is a good thing.

People often say that saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Miss, you are doing good deeds.

Shoukangtang

Today is the first day of the new year, and everyone came to Shoukang Hall to pay their respects early in the morning.

Perhaps because she feels that time is running out, the old lady always likes to get the whole family together.

The second and third room students also came.

Apart from Jiang Chuwei who was nowhere to be seen, Lu Yanling was also late.

The old lady got up and sat for a while.

When Lu Yanling arrived, Chen's face darkened: "Why are you here so late? If you don't want to come, don't come."

Butcher Zhang failed to succeed and Chen almost got into trouble.

She had been in a bad mood these days and was waiting to deal with Lu Yanling.

Aunt Yao was trembling with fear.

She was terrified of Chen from the bottom of her heart. She had experienced this woman's methods of torture countless times over the years.

"Sister Ling, quickly apologize to your mother and tell her you didn't mean it." Aunt Yao hurriedly reminded her daughter.

Lu Yanling bowed to the old lady and said, "Grandma, I have something to say. Please make the decision, Grandma."

Perhaps Madam Lu had lost her temper due to her illness, so she didn't make a fuss.

"If you have something to say, just say it. Grandmother will make her own judgment."

Chen had a bad feeling: "How dare you! The elders are all here. Do you think you are right just because you are late?"

Lu Yanling looked at Chen Yulan: "Why am I late? Doesn't mother know?"

Chen had never heard Lu Yanling speak to her like this before. She stood up and was about to hit Lu Yanling: "You have no respect for your parents. I will teach you a lesson today."

But her slap missed and Lu Yanling dodged it nimbly.

The third wife, Mrs. Song, couldn't bear it: "Sister-in-law is too strict with the child. Sister Ling is just a little late, it's not a big deal."

Chen Yulan was already furious because she failed to hit Lu Yanling.

Chen Yulan became even angrier when she was criticized by the Third Lady.

She pointed at the Song family and said, "It's none of your business to manage the affairs of the first house."

Song: "I just feel sorry for Sister Ling. Sister-in-law is too harsh on her."

Song was not afraid of Chen Yulan. A concubine had become the wife of a marquis. Her scandal was known to everyone in the capital.

Relying on her status as the marquis's wife, she acts domineeringly at home and can pamper anyone who wants, but she won't.

Aunt Yao was so distressed that tears welled up in her eyes.

But she didn't dare say anything.

"Well, my old wife is not dead yet, why are you guys arguing about this?

The old lady started to have a headache again.

Lu Yanling knelt down and said, "Grandma, you have to make the decision for me. My mother betrothed me to Butcher Zhang. My granddaughter didn't want to, so my mother teamed up with Butcher Zhang to sneak into my yard and force my granddaughter to do it."

"What nonsense are you talking about, Zhang the Butcher?"

The burglary in the house did not alarm the old lady.

She had a headache every day, and the servants were afraid of angering the old lady, as they would be the ones to suffer in the end.

Seeing the old lady's confused expression, Lu Yanling told her everything that happened that day.
