The hostess of the Hou Mansion

These ladies, who were originally spoiled, have been living in the market for many years. It is obviously impossible for them to be ignorant of the ways of the world.

After returning to the palace, the bad rules of the past gradually began to rise.

At this time, seeing that Yue Lingxi, who was a junior despite being a marquis, left his group in front of the gate, he ran into the carriage and "made out" with the originally lowly concubine!

The sour remarks gradually increased, especially from Yue Lingxi's nominal mother, Yue Chen's wife Li Qin'er, who could no longer contain herself and was eager to try!

If he hadn't seen the heavy military presence of Youzhou, he would have lifted the curtain of the carriage.

But the sarcastic voice had already reached the carriage.

This familiar voice woke Liu Buqi up, "Oh! I forgot someone is waiting for us, Lingxi, get out of the car!"

Yue Lingxi leaned back casually. He had heard the discussions outside a long time ago, but it was not convenient for him to intervene in the affairs of the women in the inner house. However, some things still needed to be explained in advance.

"Don't give up. These women are now alone. Their husbands and sons have died, and their daughters have either committed suicide out of shame or are too embarrassed to return home. Their families will not take in these former criminals."

"They are all pitiful people, and the Hou Mansion is their only place to stay. But there must be something hateful about pitiful people. They are originally a group of petty women who are used to fighting among themselves."

"In their eyes, I'm in a high position, and you're from a humble background. I'm afraid they must be feeling very uncomfortable right now!"

Liu Buqi really didn't think too much about this matter. After all, major events involving life and death, honor and disgrace happened one after another in the capital, and she was not like those noble ladies who were born and raised in such families and had time to mediate and handle them with ease.

It was rare for Yue Lingxi to give such a serious reminder now. He probably saw that he didn't take it seriously and was afraid that he would suffer a loss.

This involves the elders in the harem, and as the mistress of the house, if I don't handle it well, it will easily cause unmanageable public opinion.

"Alas, marrying you is such a hassle! No, you haven't even married me yet! Why don't you find someone else to be your wife?"

Although it was a joke, Liu Buqi also discovered sadly that it seemed that Yue Lingxi had never proposed to her. She seemed to have entered through the side door of the Marquis' Mansion in front of her, and there was not even a decent ceremony!

When he came to Yue Lingxi, he treated him like an object! I was so stupid that I gave him everything. He was a typical "stupid, rich, easy to cheat" type!

Yue Lingxi grabbed her into his arms, and after a round of verbal punishment, he calmly got out of the car.

Liu Buqi, with her clothes a little disheveled and her face flushed, got off the carriage while adjusting her clothes, as if confirming her good reputation of "using her beauty to seduce men"!

Like a harmless little woman, she stamped her feet in anger, followed Yue Lingxi with a nervous and evasive look, and greeted the elders in front of her solemnly.

Looking at the huge contrast between Liu Buqi's pretentious and delicate appearance and the official uniform on his body, Yue Lingxi suppressed his smile, forced himself to pretend to be dignified, and entered the mansion.

It must be admitted that Crown Prince Yue Chengqiu is a caring person, even though Liu Buqi had only stayed in the mansion for two days before.

But you can still vaguely see that every blade of grass, every brick and every tile in the mansion has basically remained the same.

It really takes a lot of effort to restore the house that has been abandoned for many years to the appearance that Yue Lingxi is familiar with.

Walk into the lobby quietly, take the main seat in the middle without any hesitation, and there is no need to be polite once you enter the room.

Just like when he suffered the pain of broken tendons and was sent to the mansion by his mother alone and helpless, this group of people in front of him had never been polite to him.

More than a dozen former wives of the Anguo Marquis's family, led by Li Qin'er, became a little agitated when they saw the new marquis who did not observe the virtue of "filial piety" at all!

But because of the ferocious-looking guards outside the door, no one dared to jump out and accuse them.

Nodding with satisfaction, Yue Lingxi gently raised his hand and pointed at Liu Buqi, who was standing respectfully below him, and said, "You have all met, right?"

"The child bride that my father assigned to me is now my principal wife. From now on, she has the final say in this inner chamber of the Marquisate!"

After he finished speaking, he paused deliberately, and glanced around with a stern look, and saw that these old women did not seem to show any obvious intention of opposition.

He stood up with the help of the handrail and gave instructions to Liu Buqi in a commanding tone.

"The ancestral hall in the mansion that commemorates our branch has been destroyed, but fortunately the tablet is still there!"

"As the saying goes, if the old goes, the new will come! From today on, the main house in the Hou Mansion will be used as the ancestral hall, and I will move to the original small courtyard to live."

After saying that, he strode out of the hall. He had done all he could to help! The owner of the palace had already made up his mind, so the rest would be up to Liu Buqi.

The guards at the door also left with Yue Lingxi. In the entire lobby, apart from a dozen ladies, the only ones left were Liu Buqi, who looked like a "bullied little wife", and Bai Jinjing, who was still serving as a maid.

"Tell me, how could there be such a child! I am the legitimate mother of this Marquis! How can I sit with him when he takes the seat?"

Li Qin'er had already unceremoniously taken the seat Yue Lingxi had occupied. Who was this "mistress of the house" who had been smiling apologetically? Using a lowly woman from a small family as a front was truly hilarious!

The voices echoed naturally from below, "That's right! If it weren't for these series of misfortunes, he would never have been given the title of Marquis!"

"You got a great deal for nothing, and you're acting so arrogant! That wife of his! Hey, I'm talking about you! A child bride, and you think you can boss us around! Ugh!"

These dozen women criticized Yue Lingxi one after another, trying to scare the humble young wife. She didn't have the courage to complain!

Liu Buqi and Bai Jinjing were busy having fun, bowing their heads and smiling apologetically while refilling water and serving tea to these women!

It wasn't until the two of them felt like their ears were about to get calluses that they stopped swearing and cursing and drank some water to moisten their throats!

"Aunts, aunts, mother, are you tired? Do you need more tea?"

Liu Buqi's humble behavior undoubtedly made the women in this room feel warm and satisfied! Who would have the time to "pay attention" to this "mistress" who didn't live up to her name!

Seeing that no one responded, Liu Buqi smiled happily, "Since no one is talking, then it's my turn to say a few words, okay?"

A young woman curled her lips at this, stood up, pointed her finger at her, and cursed, "Hidden concubine, do you have the right to speak here?"
