Chapter 67: Forcing Zhou Fang to Apologize and Hand Over Power
Zhou Fang frowned and said angrily: "You!"
"You are such a shrew!"
Yuan Wanru smiled very comfortably: "A shrew is better than you. You are despicable and shameless, with ulterior motives. How dare you speak nonsense in front of me?"
"Second Aunt, I want you to compensate me three thousand taels of silver, hand over the kitchen purchases, and promise not to get involved in the housekeeper's affairs again. Otherwise, I will make your conspiracy against me known to everyone."
"I guess, since you love your second brother the most, you must have already found someone who is your best friend. The other party must be from a good family. If they knew you were this kind of person, would they still be willing to marry you?"
Zhou Fang was so angry that her face turned green.
This really hits her sore spot.
Who are the people in Deyang Marquis' Mansion? If they heard about these things, how could they be willing to let the third daughter of the legitimate wife marry into their family?
"Madam, you love Jiang Xun the most. Are you just going to watch Yuan Shi abuse him like this?"
Wang Min, who had not spoken for a long time, sneered: "You are allowed to plot against my son and daughter-in-law, but others are not allowed to plot against you?"
"If you really love Jiang Xun, you should spend money to avoid disaster. You can't be too greedy. You want to get benefits but don't want to spend money."
Wang Min looked at Madam Lu who was unhappy, and said in a very determined tone: "If the old lady insists on favoring my second brother's wife, then why not separate the family? If she dares to reach out to Lingshuiju today, she will dare to reach out to my Wangchuntang tomorrow."
"It's hard to prevent a thief from roaming around. I don't want to be in fear day and night."
"If the Marquis does not agree, then I will take Jiang Nian and his wife out of the house, so that they will not be plotted against again."
Lu Jiangnian made his position clear immediately without hesitation: "I think the house on Baima Street is good, and it's not far from the court. If you don't mind, you can live there, and I will naturally go with you."
The house on Baima Street has been returned to Yuan Wanru.
If the mother and son followed him and the news got out, the Loyalty and Bravery Marquis's Mansion would be disgraced.
Yuan Wanru nodded with a smile: "Why don't we move out tonight? Who knows if Second Aunt has other spies in Lingshuiju? I don't want to live under other people's noses."
"alright."
The three of them sang the same tune, as if the Marquis' Mansion had no room for them.
The wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery was forced to leave the house by her brother's wife, and Zhou Fang's reputation was completely ruined, and Lu Jiangxiun's future would also be difficult.
Although Mrs. Lu was extremely angry, the person who was wrong was Zhou Fang, and she had no way to shut the eldest wife's mouth.
Even if Lu Song were here, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to persuade his wife and children.
Madam Lu took a deep breath and gave Zhou Fang an order: "Don't talk nonsense, just do as Yuan Shi asked. It's your fault that you made the mistake first."
Old Madam Lu spoke in an unfriendly tone, staring at Yuan Wanru with her small eyes, her face showing complete disgust.
"Madam, are you satisfied?"
Yuan Wanru looked at her sincerely: "Is the old lady angry?"
"Books often say that everyone makes mistakes, but it is the greatest virtue to be able to correct them."
"If I hadn't discovered these things today, Second Aunt still wouldn't know she was wrong. Old Madam, because of her theft today, she exposed Shanzha as a spy. She might cause even greater trouble in the future."
"I made her realize her mistake, she should thank me. If Second Aunt knew the etiquette, she should give me an extra thank you gift."
Zhou Fang couldn't catch her breath and almost fainted.
This person, does he have any shame? He asked for three thousand taels and even dared to ask for a thank-you gift.
Yuan Wanru said with a sigh, "However, we are all family, so there is no need for a thank-you gift. Second Aunt will immediately present the pair of cards and three thousand taels, and you can take Xi Que back."
Xi Que didn't dare to think about what would happen to her if she fell into the hands of the Second Lady. She knelt down and wanted to pull Yuan Wanru's skirt, but was stopped by Lu Jiangnian.
"My wife has done what she promised you. If you dare to bother her, I will send you to the Dali Temple immediately."
The magpie is not innocent. Zhou Fang gave the order, but didn’t she do it?
Lu Jiangnian never tolerates people who make mistakes.
What else Zhou Fang didn't understand? On one hand, he was handing over money and power, and on the other hand, he was handing over people.
"Who knows if you will keep your promise."
"What if I promise you and you regret it later and spread rumors about me? Wouldn't that be a big loss for me?"
Lu Jiangnian sneered: "Second Aunt, don't worry. My wife will do what she says. If she can't do it, I will return you four thousand taels."
Yuan Wanru glanced at him and did not refute him.
Anyway, she didn't intend to go out and talk nonsense.
Although Zhou Fang had treated her badly, Lu Bai and Lu Jiangxiun had no grudge against her.
Those words that destroyed Lu Jiangxiun's marriage were nothing but bluffing and threats to Zhou Fang.
However, Zhou Fang had no feelings for the first wife.
Then, she naturally would not believe in the friendship between Yuan Wanru and Lu Jiangnian.
What else could Zhou Fang do? She just wanted to get this over with as soon as possible. "I'll give you the cards and the silver. You are not allowed to leak a single word, let alone let the Second Master and Jiang Xun know."
Yuan Wanru held the three thousand taels of silver in her hand and smiled contentedly: "Of course we won't tell anyone. If Miss Liang and the old lady tell anyone, it won't be our fault."
Zhou Fang immediately looked at Liang Yusong with disdain. As an outsider, why should she meddle in the Lu family's affairs?
Liang Yusong gritted her teeth secretly, angry that Yuan Wanru had to mention her name: "Second Madam, rest assured, I will keep my mouth shut."
She pretended to be casual and said, "Since Xi Que was just following orders and she also explained clearly why she came into contact with Shanzha, then her suspicion is basically cleared."
She pointed at Shanzha and said, "It was Shanzha who stole the defense map. Miss Yuan, how did she get such an important thing? Will this matter involve you?"
Madam Lu thought this made sense: "Yuanshi, she is your family member. Do you know where this hawthorn came from?"
After she finished speaking, she looked at Lu Jiangnian solemnly: "If Yuan Shi can't explain clearly, Jiangnian, you should divorce her immediately. Our Zhongyong Marquis Mansion must not have any connection with spies."
Zhou Fang immediately perked up. Why hadn't she thought of this?
Magpie is hers, and Hawthorn is also Yuan Wanru's.
Xi Que is a family-born child with a clean family background. The hawthorn was bought from outside by Wang Min a few years ago. It can be said that Wang Min was inviting a wolf into the house.
She should have done the opposite and blackmailed Yuan Wanru.
"Yes, Yuan Wanru, you still have the nerve to ask me for money. Return the three thousand taels to me quickly, or I will shout everywhere and accuse you of harboring a spy."
Wang Min angrily rebuked: "You are simply crazy. How can you publicize the work of spies?"
Yuan Wanru suddenly burst into laughter: "Mom, don't worry, there is no spy at all, just let Second Aunt go and tell her, she won't dare to say anything."
Lu Jiangnian looked at her lovingly: "If you reveal the truth now, I'm afraid Second Aunt will pounce on you and bite you."
She looked at him with sparkling eyes: "Did you guess it?"
"Um."
Lu Jiangnian looked at Wang Min and the others and spoke slowly and clearly: "Because there was no defense map in the first place."
