Chapter 82
"fortunately……"
After listening to the imperial edict, Lin Yunwan also breathed a sigh of relief when he returned to Chuisi Hall.
She and the two girls said, "Fortunately, it's just a knighthood."
The two girls had never experienced such a big thing, and they couldn't speak. They covered their hearts and calmed down for a while before pouring her tea.
The brew is Longjing.
Lin Yunwan took a sip and said with lingering fear: "It's really difficult for my brother and mother."
It is not a trivial matter to destroy a wife by favoring a concubine, but in this life of the Lu family, there is indeed no irrefutable proof of destroying a wife. The punishment is too light, that is, a demotion, which is not painful or itchy.
The punishment is too severe, and it involves the mistakes that the Marquis made on the battlefield before, and it is possible to ransack his home, which will implicate other innocent people and also cost his own life.
The result was just right, no more and no less.
Taoye sighed: "The Wuding Marquis Mansion is finished. When the Marquis dies..."
It goes without saying that the Emperor will not grant any more titles to those who have taken them. The glory of the Lords ends here.
Once Wu Dinghou died, the name "Wudinghou Mansion" no longer existed in the capital.
But Pingye said with satisfaction: "If it weren't for the sake of the old Marquis, maybe even the Marquis's title would have been lost. Now that the Marquis is still alive, it's already very good."
He added: "It just suppresses the crown prince's arrogance. Let's see if he dares to do some bad things in the future!"
After all, they were all from Wu Dinghou's mansion, and even if they died, they would be like grasshoppers on a rope. The two girls discussed their future plans with Lin Yunwan.
"There is no other way to go. The person who seizes the title cannot take the title again unless he studies and becomes an official. The imperial examination is fair to everyone."
Lin Yunwan's tone was calm, not afraid at all.
Because she didn't think that Lu Zhengliu could still study hard and take the imperial examination at his age.
Taoye was very down-to-earth, she said: "In the future life... From now on, it would be best for me to take care of my family's property and live a peaceful life."
Pingye pursed her lips and muttered: "What kind of life can the uncle live? It all depends on our grandma from now on."
"Madam" is a dignified title that can only be given by royal decree. After the prince seizes the title, from now on everyone in the house can only call Lin Yunwan "grandma".
Not only the title needs to be changed, but there are many things that need to be changed in the mansion.
Pingye said relaxedly: "I'll be very busy in the future."
Everyone was ashamed, and the Lu family could no longer suppress the Lin family. Instead, she felt comfortable doing anything from now on.
Lin Yunwan said, "You just need to take good care of the longbow, and everything else has nothing to do with us."
She said: "We are all in trouble, and I don't need to help the housekeeper of Wudinghou Mansion anymore. From now on, we just need to hold on to the lifeblood of the Lu family."
Pingye really didn't understand and asked, "What is the lifeblood of the Lu family?"
Taoye said: "The Marquis suffered a stroke and became demented, and the prince seized the title. From now on, the Marquis's mansion will be just a showpiece. What do you think is the only hope for the mansion?"
Pingye thought for a while and then said, "Is it Young Master Changgong?"
Taoye nodded with a smile: "That's right. As long as Madam can train an outstanding heir, in three to five years, the old Madam will be old. Madam is a person without scheming and means. The Marquis is like that, Young Master Changgong. Soon I will be able to take charge of the house, and there will be nothing wrong with me in this house from now on."
Lin Yunwan smiled faintly.
This girl Taoye is so smart and can understand everything.
She just wanted to sideline Lu Zhengliu!
Since the Lu family wouldn't let her go and would hold her back until death, she gave all the Lu family's property to Long Gong.
I wonder if Mrs. Lu and Lu Zhengliu are dissatisfied with her supporting the Lu family in this way?
"Auntie is here."
The little girl knew that the master and the eldest maid were talking inside, so when she came in to communicate, her voice was very low.
Lin Yunwan was always kind to her servants. She said softly: "Let her in."
Zhuqing came in wearing light-colored clothes, which looked better than the filial piety girl.
She didn't dare to sit down anymore and timidly called out: "Madam."
Lin Yunwan looked a little afraid.
Lin Yunwan smiled: "Sit down, what kind of tea would you like to drink?"
Zhuqing said, you can drink anything.
Lin Yunwan still asked Pingye to make some tea.
Zhu Qing was sitting on the embroidered pier, more honest than before, no longer daring to be presumptuous, looking very reserved.
Lin Yunwan asked her: "What's wrong with you?"
Zhuqing said coyly: "...It's nothing."
Just when she saw Lin Yunwan and the Lin family killing Xiang Xiang in the hall and bringing the Lu family to such a state, she felt that she had underestimated Madam before.
She said: "I thought Madam was just like me, a housewife."
Unexpectedly, Lin Yunwan's wrist could turn everything upside down.
Zhu Qing looked at Lin Yunwan and said with great admiration: "I don't mean anything else, I just... I believe in you more and more!"
She was really lucky that she didn't follow the prince, but the madam.
She finally understood that it was not that Madam and Aunt Ge were divided into two factions in the mansion, nor was it that Madam and the old Madam were at odds with each other, but that Madam and the entire Hou Mansion were at odds with each other.
Lin Yunwan said gently: "Don't call me madam anymore."
Zhuqing quickly changed her mind: "Grandma."
After sitting for a while, she talked to Lin Yunwan again as before. No matter how powerful the mistress is, she always treats her people very kindly. Zhuqing feels that she doesn't need to be afraid. She should be happy, after all, she is the mistress's person.
"You're not here just to drink my tea, are you?"
Lin Yunwan asked with a smile.
Zhuqing said quickly: "By the way, I'm here to tell you that Aunt Ge knew something was going on in the house and she was obsessed with asking about it, but I didn't tell her. She was really thoughtful. She went out through the window at the back and almost let her go. She ran out, but luckily I had someone catch her back."
"It's tied up now. Grandma, please go and get comfortable."
Lin Yunwan said casually: "Tell the mother-in-law to tie them up and send them to Zhuangzi."
Brother Qing has already remembered Ge Baoer's name, so staying in the house is an eyesore.
It was just that she had no power before, but now that she can handle it, she will definitely throw the person far away and let her fend for herself.
Zhuqing smiled and said: "Grandma, you are still soft-hearted. If it were another mistress, she might be killed."
Lin Yunwan shook her head: "I'm not soft-hearted."
She said calmly: "I just don't want to have blood on my hands to give others an excuse."
Besides, you don’t have to use a knife to kill someone. Didn’t Zhuqing almost die on Zhuangzi? How long can a sick aunt live?
Zhu Qing doesn't think so. The Lin family must have been well-educated, otherwise grandma wouldn't be so kind.
Lin Yunwan didn't want to explain any more. She said, "You are the most familiar with the matter of going to Zhuangzi. You can make arrangements."
"yes."
Zhuqing left immediately. There was no peace in the house now, and she was eager to do something to show her loyalty.
Back at Yuxing Pavilion, she vomited before she could deal with Ge Baoer.
Tong Liu rubbed her back and said worriedly: "Did you eat something bad?"
Zhu Qing shook his head, touched his belly, and said, "Am I... pregnant?"
On Zhuangzi, when he saw the tenant's wife being pregnant, she was retching on the field ridge.
Tongliu was overjoyed: "Auntie, go and talk to grandma!"
Zhuqing refused, she smiled and said, "Let's take care of grandma's affairs first."
Tong Liu took the opportunity and said, "There is something I want to ask my aunt."
Zhu Qing was in a good mood and said, "Hurry up and tell me, I will promise you anything you want today."
"Auntie, you still remember Xiliu, right? After what happened to auntie, she returned to the care of her mother. Now that auntie is pregnant, she must send a few more people to serve you. I want to serve you with Xiliu, okay? "
Zhuqing laughed: "No matter how big a deal it is, grandma will definitely agree."
After saying that, he went to deal with Ge Baoer. First, he asked the people in the front yard to hitch a carriage and arranged for a few vicious women to take Ge Baoer to the village.
Ge Baoer was still making a fuss: "I want to see the crown prince, I want to see my son Qing'er!"
The mothers-in-law were all bad-tempered, so they slapped her away with a big mouth, rolled their eyes and said, "Return to the crown prince! The crown prince has been deprived of his title because of you, my aunt! From now on, he will change his name to uncle!"
Ge Baoer stared, clutched the jade pendant in his hand, and his heart fell to the bottom.
completion.
The Lu family will never let her see Qing'er again!
