What do you mean by living under someone else's roof? Ha!
They are so self-righteous.
Qu Yutao was equally disgusted: "They acted quickly. Fortunately, we met my cousin today. Let's go back home and show these things to my aunt, and then inform my cousin. Mother, I'm afraid they will look for you again."
Widow Qu smiled and said, "Isn't it just right that they came to see me?"
The mother and daughter smiled at each other.
When Mrs. Deng saw these things, she was surprised and speechless.
This fabric is not expensive, and Qingyuan Teahouse is not a high-end place. It seems that he treats his sister as a country girl. Even if he wants to bribe her, he is not willing to spend the money.
However, there were actually two hundred taels of silver notes in the box of snacks.
This is quite a big deal.
Mrs. Deng smiled and said, "I'll put these things away for now and talk about them later. It's a good thing I went there today!"
"That's right!" Widow Qu sighed, still a little frightened. Naturally, she had no objection to Deng's treatment.
She didn't want to get involved with such banknotes.
Fearing that her precious daughter would suffer, Mrs. Deng quickly sent someone who knew the situation to tell Zhao Liya.
Zhao Liya wasn't surprised. The two aunts must have been impatient for a long time, right? They finally got this opportunity, so of course they couldn't hold back.
She smiled and teased Zhou Hansheng, "They are really good at finding new ways to do things. They even thought of using my aunt. They have good intentions!"
Zhou Hansheng embraced her and scoffed, "They've always been like this, using every possible means. Otherwise, how could they have disgusted my parents for so many years? Fortunately, I have Ya'er. Now I can finally let out a sigh of relief!"
Zhao Liya looked at him and they smiled at each other.
Mrs. Tuesday and Mrs. Wednesday are content.
Everything is going well. It seems that good luck has come to my family!
Now that we have captured Widow Qu, with her as an insider to help us, it will be much easier to do anything in the future.
Not only is it convenient, but it can also stab Zhao Liya and the Zhao family hard, letting them taste the feeling of being betrayed.
Widow Qu was their benefactor. Being betrayed by her benefactor was different from being betrayed by others. If she continued to stir up trouble and cause trouble, the reputation of Zhao Liya and the Zhao family would be ruined. Let's see if she still has the nerve to compete with me for the right to be the housekeeper.
Madam Zhou Er and Madam Zhou San sent people to secretly monitor the Zhao Mansion. Two days later, when Madam Zhou San saw Widow Qu going out, she met her again.
This time, Widow Qu obviously seemed to have a much closer relationship with Mrs. Zhou San. She spoke more enthusiastically and her face was full of smiles.
Mrs. Zhou San knew in her heart: This must be the effect of the two hundred taels of silver!
From this perspective, Widow Qu's life in the Zhao Mansion was not easy at all! However, a mere two hundred taels made her so happy.
Mrs. Zhou San was of course happy to see this happen, so she made an appointment with Widow Qu that if she had any problems in the future, she would ask her out in a certain way.
Widow Qu readily agreed, and said with a somewhat embarrassed smile: "I really have a lot of questions, and I would like to ask you for advice later."
Mrs. Zhou San was even more delighted, laughing repeatedly as she said, "Isn't it hard to say? If you have any questions, just come to us. We will definitely help you think it over and make sure you don't suffer any loss."
"Oh, that's great!" Widow Qu thanked with a smile.
The second and third branches of the Zhou family kept making small moves, but they didn't expect that the first to clash with the Zhao family and Zhao Liya were actually the Mi family, who they originally thought would not have any direct social connection.
The second young master of the Mi family beat Hu Ling!
Hu Ling was completely unprepared, and it was something he had never expected, which caught them off guard. Fortunately, Hu Ling himself was quite skilled, and with the help of two followers, they recovered and joined in the attack, so they didn't suffer too much loss.
However, the status of the second young master of the Mi family was not comparable to that of Hu Ling. When the second young master of the Mi family acted arrogantly, Hu Ling had to give in.
Hu Ling had to think about Lord Zhao and his family. If he fought with Second Young Master Mi, word would spread that Lord Zhao's servants had beaten the imperial concubine's family, and Lord Zhao would surely be impeached by the censor.
This is something Hu Ling absolutely does not want to see and will never do.
Young Master Mi refused to give in and insisted on arresting Hu Ling. Hu Ling had no choice but to escape.
He did not want to implicate the Zhao family, so he did not use his full strength when fighting back. However, he also knew that after Concubine Mi came to power, the Mi family would be very arrogant and had some problems with the Zhao family. The second young master of the Mi family had such an aggressive and unreasonable attitude that there was no way to communicate with him. If he really let him catch him and fall into his hands, he would definitely be in trouble.
Hu Lingke is not that stupid
However, after he ran away, Young Master Mi naturally became even more furious and refused to give in!
In fact, Young Master Mi was so persistent that the Mi family seemed to have some powerful evidence against them and were determined to take this opportunity to make a big fuss. Young Master Mi accompanied Young Master Mi to the Zhao Mansion to seek justice.
This matter has to start with Hu Ling’s ex-fiancee.
Before Hu Ling accompanied Zhao Xiang and his family into exile in Lingnan, he actually had a fiancée named Xu Qianrong, who was considered a good match for the Hu family at the time.
However, Butler Hu and Leader Hu decided to accompany Zhao Xiang's family to exile in Lingnan. After informing the Xu family, the Xu family first tried to persuade the Hu family not to seek disaster. On the contrary, they must keep the past secret and not let others know that their family had a relationship with the Zhao family. Otherwise, what if they were implicated?
The Zhao family is an exiled family! If you mess with them, who knows if you will be in trouble?
Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about the Xu family. What if the Xu family is also implicated?
After hearing what the Xu family said, Butler Hu was very angry.
The master and the mistress have been so kind to him, how could he do such a thing?
Butler Hu completely ignored the Xu family's "good intentions" and firmly stated that he would never change his mind. If the Xu family was afraid of being implicated, they could simply cancel the engagement.
The Hu family would publicly say that Hu Ling's horoscope was not suitable for early marriage, and in order not to bring trouble to the girl, they would cancel the engagement. Furthermore, in any case, the Hu family was wronging the Xu family, so when they canceled the engagement, they would give the Xu family an extra 20 taels of silver.
The Xu family didn't even consider it, and even felt relieved and canceled the engagement without hesitation.
The Xu family accepted the twenty taels of silver from the Hu family with a clear conscience. Thus, the engagement between the two parties was terminated, and neither party would interfere with the other.
The Xu family was afraid of being implicated by the Hu family, and asked the Hu family not to mention the Xu family to anyone, let alone mention that the two families had ever been engaged.
Butler Hu agreed readily.
