In a short period of time, the repeated stimulations caused Han Yan to collapse.

Han Ding was also a ruthless man. He allowed his own father to lie in the windy mourning hall all night.

It was not until the early hours of the morning that Han Ding, with red eyes, shouted at the top of his lungs like a frightened young master, "Father! Father!"

"Someone! Someone come quickly! Father has fainted!"

His shouts broke the peace of the Han family and alarmed the imperial palace.

Three imperial physicians from the Imperial Medical Bureau came directly and took the patient's pulse one after another. All of them looked very serious.

Mrs. Wei looked at the unconscious man on the bed with mixed feelings.

On the one hand, she should be happy.

This man married her but did not cherish her.

He brought home a favorite concubine and then his true love.

She also gave birth to a son born out of wedlock, which caused her to be ridiculed by the noble ladies in the capital for more than ten years.

If he hadn't favored his concubine over his wife, if he hadn't promoted his illegitimate son, would her daughter have sacrificed herself to marry an old man?

The son was frightened into becoming a weak, dull-witted wimp;

My daughter's life was ruined;

As for herself, she also changed from a well-educated and noble lady to a psychologically twisted shrew.

All of this was caused by that stinky man Han Yan.

However, when Mrs. Wei saw the man who had always been as strong as a tiger suddenly fall to the ground and become sick, weak and old, she felt a little distressed.

After all, they were married, they had two children together, and they had been enemies for more than 20 years.

The relationship between the two of them is not just love and hate.

It's a mixture of emotions.

Mrs. Wei herself couldn't tell whether she wanted Han Yan to die or to survive!

However, Madam Wei never expected that she still failed to guess Han Yan's ending -

Han Yan was neither dead nor recovered; he had suffered a stroke.

Mrs. Wei: ...Hey, this seems pretty good.

She would not have to be a widow, and her husband would not harm her and her children while he was alive.

…

"There's some noise outside, what are they making?"

Gu Qingcheng's life was easy and comfortable.

The violent storm in Duke Cheng'en's Mansion had no effect on her at all.

There is no way, Gu Qingcheng is too weak.

Mrs. Wei's attention was also diverted to "serving" Han Yan.

Now that she had a new toy, she naturally had no energy to bother her daughter-in-law.

Besides, Mrs. Wei was not that stupid - she could no longer rely on her husband, and her only support was her son.

She couldn't let the relationship between mother and son be damaged because of a "Zhou Qingcheng".

She is a weak and sickly beauty. Even if she doesn't exert herself, she looks so weak that she will fall down if the wind blows.

Mrs. Wei felt that there was no need for her to be the bad person.

After some time, maybe Zhou herself won't be able to hold on any longer.

So be it, Mrs. Wei believed that she could survive with her sick daughter-in-law.

Madam Wei didn't come to cause trouble, and Han Ding valued his wife very much. Gu Qingcheng was the mistress in Qingsong Courtyard.

She can read books, taste delicious food, and enjoy various entertainments at will.

That day, Gu Qingcheng was leaning on the chaise longue, holding a book of street talk in her hand.

Peilan, Zelan and other maids were serving nearby.

Or serve a cup of warm tea, or use a silver fork to fork a piece of cut fruit and bring it to Gu Qingcheng's mouth, or...

Gu Qingcheng felt that she could live such a comfortable life in the Han family for decades.

At this moment, there was a sudden cry from outside.

Gu Qingcheng frowned and asked casually.

Peilan put down the teacup in her hand and stood up, "Young Madam, I'll go out and take a look."

"Well, go take a look. But don't be nosy!"

Gu Qingcheng’s meaning was very clear: just watch the fun, and don’t interfere or meddle in other people’s business.

"It's better for you!"

Peilan agreed and left Qingsong Courtyard.

A quarter of an hour later, just as Gu Qingcheng finished flipping through the notebook in her hand, Peilan came back.

"They are the concubines from the main courtyard."

Pei Lan's expression was hard to describe. "Madam said that the Duke was ill and didn't need so many concubines to serve him, so she sent them all away."

Either remarry or return to your parents' home.

Anyway, you are not allowed to stay in Duke Cheng'en's Mansion anymore.

Gu Qingcheng: ...As a mother-in-law, I am really straightforward and take pleasure in settling scores.

She just doesn't look like a noble lady!

Even if you don't want to see those concubines, you can just leave them in the courtyard or send them to the farm outside the city.

How can you just send him away?

By doing this, Madam Wei is clearly telling everyone: I am jealous! I want revenge!

However, it doesn’t matter. The Han family doesn’t have a good reputation anyway.

Furthermore, Han Yan's illness caused the Han family's status in the capital to plummet in an instant.

If there were not a queen in the palace, the Han family would have directly fallen from a first-class family to a third-class noble family.

The most direct manifestation is that the Han family has gone from being a bustling place to being deserted.

The Han family is no longer in the spotlight, so any "ridiculous incidents" they cause will not be so noticeable.

Madam Wei targeted Han Yan's concubines not only out of jealousy, but also because she wanted to vent her anger on someone.

The Cheng'en Mansion no longer had the dignity and glory it once had, and Madam Wei, the mistress of the house, felt it most clearly.

A few days ago, she was surrounded by noble ladies in the capital;

After Han Yan suffered a stroke, Mrs. Wei tasted the desolation of "people leave and the tea gets cold".
