In fact, the Wu'an Marquisate has already done its utmost.
At the beginning, someone in the mansion was plotted against by a prostitute. He didn't even know whether he had any intimate relations with her until the woman gave birth to the child and then came to the mansion.
At that time, Xiao Jing had just been born, and the Wu'an Marquis Mansion happened to be secretly watched. At this extremely sensitive juncture, the emergence of a concubine seemed like a carefully planned conspiracy.
Therefore, the old marquis at that time immediately sent people to conduct a thorough investigation, but a lot of evidence had already been destroyed.
Although there were many doubts about this matter, the old marquis found it difficult to prove his innocence. In desperation, he could only swallow this bitter pill.
At that time, this matter caused a sensation in the capital. The old marquis had no choice but to record Xiao Bin under the name of his deceased second brother, which allowed Xiao Bin to be included in the family tree.
Even so, the identity that the old marquis registered for Xiao Bin was just a concubine's son from the second house, not under his own name.
Therefore, it was simply a fantasy for Xiao Bin to want to inherit the title of Wu'an Marquis.
If the confiscation of the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion had not come too suddenly, Xiao Bin's plan would have almost succeeded.
Thinking of this, Xiao Bin's heart was filled with regret. He also knew in his heart that the title of Marquis of Wu'an was exactly what the people behind the scenes expected him to get.
Ever since a mysterious person contacted him privately, Xiao Bin knew that there might be something wrong with his identity, but he just didn't want to admit it.
Furthermore, the old marquis has passed away, and no one will investigate this matter further.
Xiao Jing is a Buddhist by nature. If he had not married a fierce woman like Zhao, the backyard of the Wu'an Marquis Mansion would probably have become Xiao Bin's world long ago.
All I can say is that Xiao Jing is lucky. He not only has a good father, but also a capable daughter-in-law.
Since birth, I have basically not encountered any major storms, and even if I have, there are always noble people to help me.
Take the case of the confiscation of the Wu'an Marquis's mansion as an example. Not only were there two sons taking the lead, but the two daughters-in-law were also married to the right people.
In the face of difficulties, he remained calm, acted decisively, and the family remained united.
In comparison, the children of the second wife appear cowardly and incompetent. When faced with problems, they would only retreat and completely lack the heroic demeanor of a descendant of a military general.
Xiao Bin cursed his son in his heart, but he never reflected on the fact that whenever he encountered danger, he always pushed his wife out to fight it.
How strong can the son be if the father is such a fool?
Everyone in the second house saw Aunt Zhang's move to the first house, and even Wang thought Aunt Zhang was embarrassing.
However, no one expected that Aunt Zhang's son Xiao Jingtian had been eaten by wolves and had not yet been buried. He was now lying on the last carriage, wrapped in a straw mat.
Even Xiao Bin, the father, was indifferent to this.
After Zhang had finished cooking, she cautiously said to Xiao Bin, "Master, Tian'er has been gone for three days. Isn't it time to prepare for his funeral?"
Xiao Bin's hand holding the rice bowl paused slightly, and he replied, "Okay, I'll go talk to the official about this."
In fact, Zhang had mentioned this matter many times, but Xiao Bin rejected it every time.
If it wasn't for the fact that the body would start to stink if it was delayed any longer, Xiao Bin would not have cared at all.
When Wang heard about the funeral arrangements, she quickly said, "Why bother with funeral arrangements? The person is already dead. Just wrap him up in a straw mat and throw him into the mountains. Why bother with funeral arrangements? We're short of money right now. We don't have that much money to waste."
When Liu Yong and Liu Gang passed through the city before, they had already filed a report with the government.
If someone suddenly died in the exile team, it naturally could not be left unexplained. It had to be registered and filed with the government.
It's just that the people from the second house have been dragging their feet on dealing with the funeral arrangements, which led to today's conversation.
After dinner, Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue took out the design drawings of the new house that they had carefully drawn up in the past few days and showed them to the two brothers.
Just at this moment, they saw Xiao Bin going to find Liu Yong and Liu Gang, and everyone unconsciously paid attention to the movement over there.
It is unknown what Xiao Bin said to Liu Yong, but he soon turned back and, together with the men from the second house, carried Xiao Jingtian's body down from the carriage.
When Yun Ruoxi saw the corpse with corpse spots all over its body, her face turned pale instantly and she quickly turned her head away.
When Aunt Zhang saw this scene, a strange smile quietly appeared on the corner of her mouth.
She originally thought that Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue were fearless, but she didn't expect that they would be afraid of a corpse.
Seeing Yun Ruoxi's unhappy expression, Xiao Jingrui quietly moved his position to block her sight and said softly, "Don't look if you're scared."
Yun Ruoxi didn't say anything. Because Xiao Jingrui was very close to her, she could smell the faint fragrance of soapberry and felt much better.
In this way, everyone watched Xiao Bin take the male heirs from the second house to bury Xiao Jingtian.
But the burial place was not far from where everyone was resting.
Yun Ruoxi felt uncomfortable watching this, but she couldn't ask them to bury the body farther away, so she could only endure it in secret.
As night fell, Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue slept in the carriage.
Aunt Zhang was not sleepy at night. Seeing that everyone was fast asleep, she sneaked towards Yun Ruoxi and the others' carriage.
She didn't expect that usually the two brothers Xiao Jingrui and Xiao Jingxuan would sleep in the front, but today they were sleeping one in front and one in the back.
Aunt Zhang wanted to put the pink spider hidden in her sleeve into the carriage, but she had no idea where to start.
But she was unwilling to give up. So many days had passed and her plan had not yet succeeded.
Just as Aunt Zhang was about to lift the carriage curtain, Xiao Jingrui, who was standing beside her, suddenly grabbed her hand and asked sternly, "What do you want to do?"
