They really bullied her badly!
She could have been with the person she liked and married the person she loved, but because Fu Wenlin valued his family's money and wanted to take it for himself, he ruined her marriage and her life.
She hates!
Hate the viciousness of old lady Fu.
I hate Xu Lanzhi’s shamelessness.
I hate Fu Wenlin's shamelessness and despicable behavior even more.
Everyone in the mansion was dirty, so dirty that she felt sick and nauseous.
Heng Youyi took a deep breath and suppressed the hatred in his heart, "What else?"
Mrs. Zhao shook her head and said, "Madam, this is all I know. There is nothing more to say."
"Don't worry, think about it carefully."
Mrs. Zhao had no choice but to continue thinking. Suddenly, she opened her eyes wide and said to Heng Youyi in surprise, "Madam, there is one more thing. The bracelet that the old lady gave you was stained with medicine. If you wear it for a long time, you will not be able to get pregnant and it will affect your body."
"I still remember what the old lady said at that time. It seemed to be..." Mrs. Zhao tried to recall, "Now that I think of it, the old lady muttered something, saying it was a pity to give such a good bracelet to a dying person."
"At that time, I thought I had misheard, but after thinking about it carefully, I didn't think I had misheard. But I don't know why the old lady would say that."
She couldn't help but think of Miss Su's words.
"Why would the Marquis of Shunyi go to so much trouble to set up such a big chess game for you? Is there something on you that he is targeting?"
This sentence, at this moment, overlapped with what Mrs. Zhao said, forming a closed loop of question and answer.
Yes, he had gone to so much trouble to set up such a large chessboard for her, was it just for his own dowry?
The words "dying person" from the old lady's mouth seemed to have foreshadowed her own fate.
Perhaps when the mother and son set their sights on the Heng family, they had already calculated the fate of their entire family, and were just waiting for the best opportunity to reward them.
Heng Youyi couldn't help but think of a previous banquet she attended, where she heard the wife of the Minister of Revenue complaining that the emperor was worried about the national treasury.
The national treasury has been empty for a long time. If Fu Wenlin can solve this problem for the emperor, I am afraid he will get a new important task.
What they have the most is money and a lot of valuable shops.
Heng Youyi continued thinking along this line, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and cold sweat broke out on his back unconsciously.
If you want a family's wealth, the best way is to confiscate their property and exterminate the entire clan.
This guess just happened to match up with what the old lady said, 'a dying person'.
How dare Fu Wenlin!
Mrs. Zhao noticed that Heng Youyi's face turned pale in an instant, and her heart was pounding, and she was very worried.
It doesn't matter if she, the old woman, dies, but nothing can happen to her son, who was born in her old age.
"Madam." Mrs. Zhao called out softly with concern.
Heng Youyi came back to his senses, suppressed his anger and fear, and looked at Mrs. Zhao, "I won't bother with you about your theft. Mrs. Zhao's son and grandson are very handsome, and I like them very much. Today I will send them to my farm to play for a while, is Mrs. Zhao okay?"
Mrs. Zhao understood that the lady still wanted to take her son and grandson as hostages.
Now the lives of her family are in the hands of the Madam, so she can only nod and say, "It's all up to the Madam."
Heng Youyi was very satisfied with Mrs. Zhao's tact.
The door of the main room opened, and Mrs. Zhao said directly to her son and daughter-in-law: "From today on, you will follow the arrangements of the lady."
The couple looked at Heng Youyi and nodded obediently.
"Xiao Cui, take them to the carriage at the back."
"yes."
After they left, Mrs. Zhao looked up at the gray sky and sighed in her heart.
Things are going to change in the Marquis' Mansion.
Madam, please don't blame me. I just want to live.
From today on, she belongs to the lady.
After the carriages left the alley, the two carriages left in different directions. All the servants brought out today were people dispatched from her farm.
Dispatching people from the Marquis' Mansion would alert Fu Wenlin and his mother. As for mobilizing the Heng family, she was also afraid of alerting the enemy.
"Madam, are you going back to the Marquis' Mansion?"
"Return to Heng's house."
The carriage turned around at the crossroad ahead and headed in another direction.
Two cups of tea later, the carriage stopped steadily at the gate of Heng's house. The doorman saw that it was the carriage of the Marquis' Mansion and immediately came forward to greet it.
"Miss, you're back."
Heng Youyi smiled and asked Xiao Cui to give him a tip. After receiving the tip, the doorman was beaming with joy.
As soon as I stepped into the house, the housekeeper came to greet me.
"Uncle Lin, is my father at home?"
Steward Lin smiled and said, "Miss, this is a coincidence. The master just came back not long ago and is in the study right now."
"Okay. Uncle Lin, just do your thing and don't worry about me. I'll go to the study by myself."
"Yes, miss."
Along the way, every servant and maid she met greeted her warmly. Everyone was very happy about her arrival. Firstly, her status was there; secondly, before Heng Youyi got married, she was kind to the servants in her home, generous, and clear about rewards and punishments, so she was naturally liked by the people below her.
When they reached the door of the study, Heng Youyi instructed Xiaoxiang and Xiaocui, "You two stand guard at the door and don't let anyone get close. If anything happens, give a warning in time."
"Yes, miss."
"Dad." Heng Youyi shouted without stopping his hands and pushed open the door of the study.
The head of the Heng family, who was handling matters in the shop, heard his daughter's voice, immediately stopped writing, and looked at his approaching daughter with a smile in his eyes.
"How come you have time to come here? Is the Marquis here?" The head of the Heng family couldn't help but look back.
"Dad, don't look, he didn't come, it was my daughter who came alone."
As he spoke, Heng Youyi closed the door of the study.
When the head of the Heng family saw her doing this, he stopped laughing and his expression became serious. "But what happened?"
Faced with his father's concern, Heng Youyi's eyes instantly turned red.
"Dad." Her voice choked.
This cry full of grievance made the head of the Heng family feel heartbroken.
"Did he bully you? Tell Daddy. Even if it costs me my life, I will seek justice for you."
Heng Youyi was both moved and saddened by his father's deep love.
"Dad, I have something important to tell you. This matter concerns the lives of hundreds of people in our Heng family."
When these words came out, the head of the Heng family was shocked.
"What happened?"
Heng Youyi recounted the process of how he got to know Su Yin, and how he used her clues to gradually investigate his half-brother's actions. Today, he forced Mrs. Zhao to reveal the plan of Fu Wenlin and his mother, as well as her speculation that Wenlin would target their Heng family.
