Chapter 335: Uncle San is a Drama Queen

Her father was arrested?

"Who took him away?" Jiusu put down his chopsticks, walked to Zitan and asked.

Zitan shook his head and said only that they were officers and soldiers.

Jiang Jing guessed, "The Dali Temple hasn't sent any word yet. If the Ministry of Justice is arresting someone, they'll also send a message by now. Don't worry, I'll ask someone."

Jiusu nodded, then looked at the two people who looked worried.

"Uncle, aunt, I'm going back to accompany mother first."

"I'll go with you." Zhou Nuanmei instructed the people in the mansion, held Jiusu's cold hand, and said distressedly, "Good child, don't be afraid. The Marquis is an upright man. Maybe he has run into trouble somewhere. He is just asking and following the normal procedures..."

The moment I saw my mother crying.

Jiusu's heart tightened, and her eyes reddened subconsciously, "Mom, Aunt Jiang is here to see you."

"Yuyu! Nuanmei!" Yi Hui raised her head, struggled to her feet, and hugged the two of them. She had no parents, and right now, these were the two closest people to her. "What should I do? The Marquis never tells me about officialdom matters. I don't even know why he was arrested. I'm such an incompetent wife..."

Guilt and self-blame suddenly flooded my heart.

I don't even know where to start saving him.

Zhou Nuanmei sat on the blanket with her on the ground. She said, "Don't say you don't know. I don't know about the father and son's affairs either. My Lord, I don't want you to worry or be distracted. Be obedient and don't cry. It's painful for Susu to watch you here."

Yi Hui looked at his daughter's worried and pale face, took a deep breath, and his handkerchief was stained with tears.

"I, I lost my composure for a moment."

Jiusu asked: "Mom, has anything happened recently?"

Yi Hui hesitated and shook his head. Suddenly, he remembered something: "Just now, my mother was afraid that I would lose my mind, so she wanted to take away my housekeeping power. I was afraid that I would not be able to take care of it myself, so I gave it to her. After all, she was also concerned about the Marquis' Mansion."

Stewardship?

Since ancient times, conflicts between mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law have always led to quarrels. Jiusu did not trust the stubborn old lady who easily believed in provocations, so she was cautious.

"Who did Third Uncle look for after he returned home last night?"

Zitan said, "I went to the second courtyard. I heard that some people went in crying and came out laughing."

Zhou Nuanmei saw that her future daughter-in-law had an idea. She said, "Susu, go and do whatever you need. I'll stay here with your mother."

Yi Hui also nodded to his daughter.

Her mood was indeed much better. She had always been protected by the Marquis and was naive to the ways of the world. She was confused for a while, but now that she had come to her senses, she knew that she could not help, so she calmed down and did not hold him back.

"If you can see your father, you must ask him clearly what crime he committed. We cannot die without understanding."

She is a man of integrity and a man of virtue.

Jiusu agreed and found out that his grandmother had given power to the second wife.

He went straight to the third wife's house and heard from the servants that his third uncle was very sad because he divorced Fang Lianjiao. He was very distressed about being cheated on, so he stayed in the new wife's bedroom all night and listened to music all night.

Just happened.

Tao Qian was a poor girl who sang and danced, and it took her ten years to climb to this position.

So, she cherishes it very much.

She originally wanted to come out to practice her voice, but she ran into Jiusu, whom she recognized. He was a very popular and sought-after figure in Shengjing.

She bowed.

"Meet the lady."

So what if she was the wife of the third house? No one looked down on her status. What's more, even if they looked down on her, she was just the wife of a concubine's son.

Jiusu relaxed his expression and asked, "Is Third Uncle here?"

"Yes, please wait a moment." Tao Qian went back to the room and woke up the master.

Li Fenghe was unsure and hesitated for a long time. When he saw his pretty niece, he smiled and asked, "Oh, it's my niece! Come on, prepare the tea!"

"No need." Jiusu raised her hand and said, "I have three things to do."

She continued, "My father was arrested, and the reason is still unclear."

Li Fenghe was shocked. He quickly ran into the bedroom and packed his bag. "No, we have to run. Niece, it's not that Third Uncle doesn't want to help, it's just that Third Uncle is a coward and can't do anything."

He grabbed Tao Qian and ran away.

Suddenly, a clear voice came from behind.

Jiusu asked seriously, "Don't you think Third Uncle wants to experience the power of housekeeper for a few days?"

These words were like insects, drilling into people's hearts, drawing out a sea of ​​desire, making people bolder and straightening their backs. Li Fenghe threw the bag to Tao Qian, frowned, and scolded: "Tell me, what's wrong with you?"

Tao Qian was stunned: "Ah? What's wrong with me?"

Li Fenghe walked to the middle, clapped his hands, and said with a look of deep sorrow: "My eldest brother has been arrested, how could you even think of escaping? We are a family, we should unite and find a way to rescue my eldest brother. I despise your behavior the most."

Tao Qian: "...I was wrong."

What a drama queen, really a drama queen.

However, Jiusu really needed someone with superb acting skills. She said, "Third Uncle, I heard that you went to Second Uncle's yard yesterday, and you came out smiling..."

Li Fenghe's eyes kept turning as he listened to her words, hoping to follow her train of thought. In order to gain the power of housekeeper, he had to perform well and answer quickly and perfectly.

Suddenly, she changed the subject and asked.

"So whose daughter is Li Yulan?"

Li Fenghe blurted out: "That bastard Li Fenghu!"

Jiusu said: "My condolences."

Li Fenghe hugged Madam Mei and cried for a while. Finally, he touched his dry eyes and asked, "Niece, what do you mean by the power of housekeeper? Can I take it? Even for three days?"

"After my father was arrested, Second Aunt framed Mother to hand over the stewardship. It's hard not to suspect there's something fishy going on..." Jiusu said, "Since Third Uncle has leverage over Second Uncle, why not take the stewardship back?"

Li Fenghe touched his chin and said, "That makes sense, but will she give it to me?"

Jiusu smiled mysteriously: "That depends on Uncle San's acting skills."

Shouchun Courtyard.

Madam Li was worried. When she heard the noise outside, she stretched her neck and asked excitedly, "Is there any news from the Marquis?"

At first glance, the people who came were Jiusu and Li Fenghe.

The hand on the pillow trembled, and he nervously scanned the faces of the two people, trying to find anything unusual.

"Is... is something wrong with Ning Wan?"

Jiusu said, "Father's matter is still under investigation. It's Uncle San who wants to tell you something."

Li Fenghe took a deep breath, his emotions instantly boiling over. He wept and knelt, wailing loudly: "Mom, my dearest mom, please take charge of my child!"

Seeing him wiping his snot and tears on the hem of his clothes, Mrs. Li frowned and snatched the clothes from his hands.

"Just tell me if you have anything to say."

Then, she looked up at her granddaughter, who was sitting there leisurely drinking tea. Seeing this, her heart became calmer. What child doesn't worry about their parents? Jiusu is not worried, which means the matter is not serious.

"Don't cry like that, it's embarrassing."

Li Fenghe sniffed, bent over, and complained: "Li Yulan is the daughter of Fang Lianjiao and Li Fenghu. They have been having an affair under my nose for so many years. My son can't stand it!"

Mrs. Li almost couldn't breathe.

Thinking about how troublesome the second and third wives were, his face turned pale.

"I will make the decision for you."
