Chapter 490: Unwilling

Soon, the carriage to pick up Miao Ansu and Ji Hong arrived.

Ji Hong helped Miao Ansu get into the carriage and opened the curtain. Inside was actually the maid who had shouted "there is a ghost" in the Osmanthus Courtyard.

She knelt down and greeted Miao Ansu and Ji Hong with a smile: "The prince said that I will serve the second wife in the future."

Ji Hong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "No wonder you dragged me to find Liu Hong!"

Others were afraid of ghosts and hid in their houses and dared not go out, but she knew that the Second Wife was resting in Du Ruo's house but still ran to ask for help. It turned out that it was someone arranged by the Prince.

Ji Hong sat down next to her affectionately and chatted in a low voice.

The maid told them, "Liu Hong fell from the steps and broke her neck. Her whole body was paralyzed, and only her eyes could move. The Second Master was merciful and gave her 50 taels of silver to her parents to take her home. The doctor said that if the family spent money like water, she could live for another three to five years. Otherwise, she would only live for fifteen or sixteen days at most. Miss Du Ruo in the Duke's room suddenly fell ill and was moved to the warm room in the east of the back garden. I heard that even after changing several doctors, her condition did not improve. The Duke has already ordered Lu Zheng's wife to make the clothes for her wedding in advance."

Miao Ansu couldn't help but exchange glances with Ji Hong, feeling a little emotional.

Song Han treated the people around him like dirt and would kill them at any time; Song Mo, on the other hand, would try to properly arrange for anyone who helped him. In comparison, the difference was obvious. Song Han, you will never be able to climb over Song Mo's head in this life.

She quietly lived in Song Mo's estate.

Within a few days, news of Liu Hong and Du Ruo's death spread.

Ji Hong said "Pah" on the ground and cursed "You deserve it".

Miao Ansu doesn't think so.

Even though Liu Hong and Du Ruo did wrong, if it weren't for the two culprits, Song Han and Song Yichun, what could these weak women, whose indentures were held in the hands of others, do?

Thinking of this, Miao Ansu felt a little indignant.

Why are Liu Hong and Du Ruo both dead, but Song Han and Song Yichun are still living happily ever after?

This is Song Mo's farm. Miao Ansu asked the farm owner, "I want to meet my mother's family. Is that ok?"

The head of the manor smiled and said, "The prince has already told you to go wherever you want, but it's best not to go too far, for fear that someone might take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble and force the wife back home. Then our prince would be out of reach."

Miao Ansu said hurriedly: "I understand. I just want to see my brother and let him tell my family the news, so that my parents won't worry."

This reason was difficult to refute, so the village head sent someone to deliver a letter to the Miao family.

The Miao family was shocked and immediately asked Miao Anping to accompany Miao's mother to visit Miao Ansu.

Before Miao's mother could even stand up straight, she asked anxiously, "Why were you sent to the farm by the Song family? How will you afford food, clothing, and other expenses? Will they divorce you?"

Miao Ansu felt like he was stabbed.

She simply cried like a tearful person in front of her brother and mother: "Song Han is a worthless person! He actually had an affair with my father-in-law's concubine! In order to please Song Han, that little bitch Liu Hong kept watch outside the door when he was committing adultery with my father-in-law's concubine. Even when he was entertaining Prince Liao, he still had lustful thoughts. After being caught by the prince accidentally, he not only refused to admit his fault, but also wanted to beat me in front of the prince and the Duke, saying that I was not virtuous and did not help him cover up, so the prince found out. The prince was afraid that he would be angry and beat me to death, so he had to send me to the farm. Brother, you have to make the decision for me! I can't let him beat me in vain!"

Miao Anping and his mother looked at each other. After a long while, his mother said awkwardly, "A daughter who is married off is like water spilled out. How can we, your family, interfere in your affairs so easily? You know what happened last time. Your brother went to Situo Hutong to stand up for you, and what was the result? Your brother was beaten by the guards of the Duke of Ying's Mansion. He still has a backache and has to take medicine every day. All the savings in the family were used to buy medicine for your brother..."

Miao Ansu was so angry that his heart ached, but he had no choice but to flatter his mother and brother.

"That's why I came to discuss it with my brother!" She said with grievance, "My brother made a scene for me last time, but nothing good came out of it. I've been thinking about it all the time! But this time is different. When the prince caught Song Han's affair, Prince Liao was also there. Not long after that, Liu Hong broke her neck and Du Ruo died of illness. I moved into the manor. Tell me, if this matter gets out, who can say that our Miao family is a fraud like they did last time? And the prince promised that as long as I want, I can live in the manor as long as I want. I have the prince's support, and Song Han can't do anything to me. If you go and make a scene like this, Song Han will have to take out money to bribe you!"

After hearing this, Miao's mother felt a little confused. She always felt that this matter was not as simple as her daughter said. But when asked to explain what was wrong, she couldn't say.

Miao Anping's eyes lit up, and he said, "This is a good idea! Song Han's concubine is gone, and the Duke's concubine is also dead. If you live in the Song family's farm and don't go back, we will then say that Song Han committed adultery with his father's concubine, and make you so angry that you leave Si Tiao Hutong. Then we will give Song Han a good lesson." As he spoke, he clapped his hands and laughed, "Sister, you are finally smart this time!"

Miao Ansu smiled.

Miao's mother was worried: "What if Song Han sends people to beat us out like he did last time?"

"The last time is different from this time." Miao Anping was full of confidence. "Last time we suffered a loss and were not in the right. He played with my sister's maid, and our family showed him a bad face. Naturally, he would not bow to our family. In this way, my sister lives in the prince's farm. It was arranged by Madam Dou. Can he force my sister to go back? As long as my sister doesn't return to Sitori Hutong, Song Han's adultery will not be settled. Song Han will have to use silver to get rid of us!" As he spoke, he became excited and discussed with Miao Ansu, "I think we can't beat Song Han to death all at once. We have to do it slowly. Ask for some silver today and some silver tomorrow, so that he can support us from now on!"

It turned out to be the right person to ask her brother for this matter!

Miao Ansu nodded.

Miao Anping was still a little worried and said, "I'm standing up for you. Don't regret it halfway and follow Song Han back to Si Tiao Hutong!"

"No!" Miao Ansu said to reassure his brother, "I'm still counting on you to give me some of the money you got from Song Han!"

Miao Anping immediately said nervously: "I can only give you 10% at most! I need to hire someone to help the stinky Song Han, and also hire someone to go with me to ask for the money. If Song Han refuses to admit his debt, he might even send me to jail in Shuntian Prefecture with a visiting card. You can just sit at home and wait for the money..."

Miao Ansu doesn't just want Song Han to be ruined.

She bargained with Miao Anping: "40% to 60%! Otherwise I won't admit that I moved to the farm because Song Han was angry with me."

"At most 20:80!" Miao Anping said, "Otherwise I won't be able to settle the bill."

The two of them bargained back and forth for a long time, and finally decided to split it 70% to 30%.

Miao Ansu and Miao Anping were both very happy.

Miao Anping didn't even have the appetite to eat lunch. He left his mother here to accompany Miao Ansu and immediately returned to Daxing County.

Miao Ansu asked someone to clean up the guest room for Miao's mother.

Miao's mother was unhappy and said, "My son-in-law won't come over anyway, so it doesn't matter if I live with you, right?"

The last time Miao's mother went to visit Sitori Hutong, she pretended that her hair was messy and asked Miao Ansu's maid to help her comb her hair again. She also put back Miao Ansu's red gold hairpin and a pair of gold-inlaid jade gourd earrings.

If Miao's mother asked her why she moved into the Song family's farm when they met, she would have turned a blind eye and let her mother live in her house. But this time... she was determined to break away from her mother - Song Han was unreliable, Song Mo could not support her for the rest of her life, and the Miao family only cared about money. If she didn't plan for herself, then she would be doomed.

Ji Hong felt that Miao Ansu had already ended up in this situation, and if he offended his mother's family again, he would have no place to stand.

She advised Miao Ansu: "Miss, why don't you give some of your old clothes and jewelry to the old lady to take back to save her face?"

Miao Ansu shook her head and said, "Desire is insatiable. Besides, I have already made up my mind to divorce Song Han. If I don't take advantage of the fact that I am still the second wife of the Song family to grab some things, how will we live in the future?" Then she wrote a letter and asked her to deliver it to Dou Zhao, "I'll ask my sister-in-law to send someone to accompany you to Si Tiao Hutong to move all my boxes and boxes over. You can take this opportunity to quietly put away my small and soft things separately and ask my sister-in-law to keep them for me, so that they won't be searched by my uncle when they are delivered to me."

Ji Hong burst into tears after hearing this.

There is a tiger in front and a wolf behind. The second wife has a very difficult life!

She went to the Duke of England's mansion crying all the way.

Dou Zhao was also thinking about this matter.

Song Han was discovered by Prince Liao staying in a room with the Duke of Ying's concubine in disheveled clothes. This is a good opportunity!

Song Mo was unwilling to touch Song Han for the sake of the overall situation, but Song Han framed Song Mo and was able to get away with it unscathed, she would not agree!

But Dou Zhao had not yet made up his mind how to deal with Song Han.

After seeing Miao Ansu's letter, she almost laughed out loud. She immediately called the two sisters Jingui and Yingui over and said to Ji Hong, "My two personal maids are both very good at fighting. Not to mention women, even three or five big men can't get close to them. I'll let them go with you to Si Tiao Hutong to get the things. If there is anything, just tell them directly."

Ji Hong was a little hesitant before, fearing that Dou Zhao would not be willing to interfere in this matter, but she was overjoyed when she heard this. She bent her knees to greet Dou Zhao, and flattered the two sisters Jingui and Yingui, calling them "sisters" as they went to Sitori Hutong.

Song Han was feeling uncomfortable and was thinking about how to bring Miao Ansu back.

She would be criticized if she went to live on the farm without a legitimate reason. But the Duke of Ying's mansion only had Dou Zhao, a decent female member. It was good enough that Dou Zhao did not smear him. It was impossible for her to cover up for him.

When he heard that Ji Hong came to move Miao Ansu's things, veins popped out at his temples and he kicked Ji Hong: "You little slut, you are outrageous! Don't you see who you eat and drink from? How dare you come to my house to move things..."

But before he could kick Ji Hong, a little maid suddenly appeared from the side, grabbed his ankle and pulled him forward, making him fall flat on his face.
