Chapter 80, Lao Deng threatened his mother to save Xiao San

"So, as long as I go back and find the jade pendant, you will be saved when the envoys from Nanmei Kingdom come to Beijing in a few days!"

Xu Xinpu vowed. His father had told him about this, and also told the Marquis and the old lady who had not moved to the capital at that time, but kept it a secret from his sister.

They have always been very good to Rourou, hoping that one day, Rourou would be taken back by the royal family and then live in the Marquis' Mansion.

"So, everyone in the Marquis' Mansion treats me well because of my identity?"

Xu Rourou cried and laughed. She always thought that it was because she was gentle and sensible that everyone in the Marquis' Mansion liked her and helped her.

Unexpectedly, everyone knew her identity, except herself.

Xu Xinpu shook his head, "Xie Jin'an doesn't know."

"Yeah, he doesn't know, and the younger generations in the Marquis' Mansion don't know either. I tried to please them one by one, and they were willing to help me."

Xu Rourou shook her head, tears falling down her cheeks.

No wonder the old lady took her to the Marquis' Mansion as soon as she gave birth to the child. She thought her good days were about to begin.

Unexpectedly, the old lady was scheming. With Huaishan in the Marquis' Mansion, even if she was of the royal blood of the Nanmei Kingdom, she couldn't leave. The Marquis'

Mansion, what a good plan.

Haha.

Xu Xinpu comforted her, "Don't worry, I will go back to my hometown and will definitely find the jade pendant to prove your identity. You just wait patiently. Some punishments must be endured, understand?"

Xu Rourou nodded.

This is also her last hope to survive.

Xu Xinpu turned and left. Xu Rourou looked at his back and gave a bitter smile.

No wonder, she has longed for glory and wealth since she was a child, and can't stand the feeling of being stepped on by others. She

has also made friends with young ladies from wealthy families, but she will not be inferior to them, because she feels in her bones that she should be noble. She

didn't expect that after living for twenty years, she would know her own identity.

She laughed triumphantly, "Haha, Liu Wan, when I get out, I will kill you first!"

Liu Wan returned to the yard and sneezed towards the window.

Wangxia hurriedly took a thick cloak to cover her, "It's snowing and the weather is cold. Grandma, take care of yourself."

[Mother, someone is scolding you. 】Xia Wanwan sat by the stove to keep warm, stretching out her fuzzy little hands, her little face reddened by the charcoal fire.

Liu Wan turned around, picked her up and held her in her arms.

She took off her shoes and socks and placed them in front of the stove to keep warm. Soon, steam came out of her little feet, which looked milky and fragrant.

"Mother, Wo... Wo is going to... fight back..."

【Who dares to scold my mother? I will fight back for my mother. Biu, biu, biu】

Liu Wan kissed her red and warm cheeks, "Wanwan, don't worry, mother is fine, we will have our own lives in the future."

She had already decided to divorce, so the emperor issued an order to remove all her honors.

Now, she can only wait for an opportunity.

Waiting for an opportunity to take all three children away.

The room was warm when a maid came in and handed a thick envelope to Liu Wan.

"Grandma, I'm from the princess's mansion. The thing you asked your husband to do a few days ago has been done."

"The house is in Chunxi Road. It has three entrances and three exits. It is being renovated now. It will take about two months."

Liu Wan took the envelope and opened it. There was a handwritten letter from her brother and a stack of deeds.

Chunxi Road has always been a place where dignitaries live. To be able to buy a house there, it must have cost a lot of money and connections.

She felt warm in her heart.

She thought: As long as she can protect her loved ones, she will try her best no matter how difficult it is.

She asked Wangxia to send the nanny away and gave her some silver as a reward.

"Grandma, why did you buy a house outside?" Wangxia didn't understand Liu Wan's plan.

Liu Wan smiled faintly and said, "So that I can have a place to belong when I'm down and out."

Not long after, the nanny beside the old lady came again.

"Grandma, the old lady and the lady want you to go."

This time she was much more polite because she had been rejected too many times.

She was afraid that if her tone was a little careless, the grandma would turn her face away and refuse.

This time, it was really urgent.

"Mom... I want to go... together..." Xia Wanwan stretched out her hand and hung on her mother's neck, refusing to let go.

Let's go together.

[I don't believe that after my mother loses her honor, those stinky women will be nice to her.]

[I want to accompany my mother and protect her. Liu

Wan smiled helplessly and said to the nanny, "I'll be there in a while."

When the nanny left, she looked at her in confusion. Why did the sun rise from the west today?

Liu Wan basked the little baby all over her body until she was warm. She put on a beautiful blouse for her and wrapped her up like a warm-looking ball. Only

then did she feel at ease to carry her to the charity hall.

The atmosphere in the charity hall was solemn. The old lady was hit hard. She lay on the couch with dizzy eyes. The fire beside her was very strong, but she still felt cold all over.

Liu Wan came and saw Li serving the old lady as soon as she entered the door. Both of them looked unhappy.

"Wan'er, you are here."

The old lady's tone was very gentle, so gentle that Liu Wan was alert.

She asked, "I wonder what the old lady wants to talk to me about?"

"I have heard about the emperor's decision. It is Aunt Xu who has wronged you. She shouldn't have forced you to take out the gold medal." The old lady looked sincere.

Liu Wan's face was indifferent, and her voice was powerful, "You remembered it wrongly. She stole the gold medal."

[Wow, you old man, you actually want to trick my mother into telling you something. You really have bad intentions. ]

Xia Wanwan wanted to go down and beat her up, but her mother held her tightly.

"Ah, I am getting old and confused." The old lady asked Li to help her up, and a long-term sickness swept the whole room.

Liu Wan frowned.

"You are no longer a royal lady, and the emperor has taken back the golden medal of immunity from death. Do you feel wronged?"

the old lady asked.

"The grandson's wife dare not feel wronged." This was a sarcastic remark with deep meaning, but it dispelled the old lady's doubts.

The old lady smiled bitterly and said, "Now your husband has only the title of a prince, but it is useless if he does not have a proper official position. You said you would give him two concubines, but it has been more than half a year and there is no result."

"Now he is frustrated, as his wife, you should help him."

Liu Wan frowned, "What do you mean by this, old lady?"

"I know your family has people in the Dali Temple and the officialdom. As long as you are willing to help, Concubine Xu will be able to save her life!"

"You don't want the Marquis's Mansion to be affected by Concubine Xu's death, right?"

[What is this old man talking about? ]

Xia Wanwan pulled her hair, puzzled.

"Old lady, just say it, why did Concubine Xu's death affect the whole family." Liu Wan looked unhappy.

"I won't hide it from you, old lady. Aunt Xu's life experience is related to the royal family of Nanmei Kingdom, and it is related to the peace between the Great Xia Dynasty and Nanmei Kingdom. If she is killed, the two countries will fall out, and the Marquis' Mansion will be the first to suffer."

"Not only us, but also Xie Zimu, Xie Zixing, the Qing family, including your daughter Xie Wanwan... No one can escape!"

The old lady's words were light, but they were full of threats.

Liu Wan was stunned for a long time. She could not imagine that Xu Rourou had such a great background.

"How did the old lady know? What evidence do you have?"

The old lady laughed, "The Marquis once went to war with Nanmei Kingdom and is familiar with the royal things that Nanmei Kingdom exchanged. When we were in the border town, we saw the jade pendant that Aunt Xu's mother left for her. It was a royal thing."

"So, think about it. If you can use your connections to rescue Aunt Xu, I can promise you anything you want."

After listening to what the old lady said.

Liu Wan secretly clenched her fists, and the little baby in her arms stopped scolding, and grabbed her hair tightly, trying to think of something.

Soon, Liu Wan made a decision.
