That afternoon, Aunt Li fell ill.
Three days later, the noble concubine who had just made a name for herself in the county died of illness.
Aunt Li was originally a maid sent by someone else and was sold by her family with a death contract signed.
Even though she was later promoted to concubine and became a so-called favorite concubine, her indenture contract was still in the hands of Mrs. Cui.
Whether she lives or dies is decided by her master, Mrs. Cui.
So, let alone just "dying of illness", even if he really made a mistake and was beaten to death by Mrs. Cui, it is legal and reasonable.
However, for the sake of the magistrate's reputation and the peace of the family, Mrs. Cui suggested covering up all of Aunt Li's mistakes.
Letting her "die of illness" not only prevented the magistrate from being stigmatized, but also preserved Aunt Li's dignity.
After all, Aunt Li gave birth to two children for the magistrate.
It must be said that Mrs. Cui's actions deeply moved the magistrate.
He had a greasy, somewhat fat uncle's face, and his eyes were full of tenderness and sweetness: "I know, I know that my wife loves me the most and values me the most."
He was extremely grateful in his heart. No wonder people say "marry a virtuous wife".
He was extremely fortunate to marry a virtuous wife of noble birth.
When he married the daughter of a wealthy family, Cui, there were many jealous people who spoke ill of him.
What is a gigolo? What is a son-in-law?
Humph, they don’t understand at all.
I would rather marry a maid from a wealthy family than a girl from a poor family.
Not only are the wealthy families noble, but even their maids are better than others.
Rather, those from wealthy families are well-educated, understand the rules, know when to advance and retreat, and can consider the overall situation.
Aunt Li's various behaviors vividly illustrate what it means to be an ignorant and fearless girl from a poor family.
She probably didn't mean to "frame" her master on purpose. She was just greedy, stupid, and ignorant!
They only know how to bully others by taking advantage of their power, but they don’t know that “power” is also a double-edged sword.
If one is not careful, the master and even the whole family will suffer backlash.
It was because my wife was sensible and took the overall situation into consideration. She never targeted the concubine because of some trivial matters between women.
The reason why she attacked Li was more because she had overstepped her authority and actually extended her hand from the back house to the front hall.
This is a big taboo!
It is also the root cause of bankruptcy and ruin.
When something went wrong, Mrs. Cui immediately collected evidence, repaid the loan promptly, and burned the deed in front of the borrower.
The maids who knew about the incident, as well as the unruly people who used the magistrate's title to cheat people, were all beaten and locked up by Mrs. Cui without any hesitation.
It didn't even affect the magistrate's reputation!
Aunt Li fell ill and died.
She had no idea what was going on outside, and the dead were the most important.
And those slaves who deceived their masters and took advantage of their masters, as well as those who cheated others, all received the punishment they deserved.
……Perfect!
"Master trusts me, respects me, and loves me, and has entrusted the household affairs to me. I shall serve you wholeheartedly!"
Seeing her husband's greasy middle-aged face, Mrs. Cui felt very disgusted.
However, her face didn't show any emotion at all;
Keeping a low profile and being good at "endurance" are essential skills that Mrs. Cui, as the daughter of a wealthy family, has learned since childhood.
Girls from wealthy families, haha, are just so virtuous.
Even though you feel disgusted in your heart, you can still say things that satisfy the other person.
The magistrate was delighted, but Mrs. Cui was thinking: Alas, it has only been ten years, how could such a young and handsome Jinshi become like this?
I should take some time to visit Gu’s company.
Wash your eyes and change your mood.
Such a beautiful and weak person, just looking at her can make me eat two more bowls of rice!
…
"Da Lang, don't worry, I will support this family from now on!"
"Once we finish this business with the magistrate's concubine, we will have dozens of taels of silver in our account."
"Just focus on your studies, and I'll take care of all the household chores!"
Gu Qingcheng was sent back by the old woman, and she seemed to be in a state of inexplicable excitement.
She pulled Zhao Qingyun's arm and said happily.
Zhao Qingyun: ... He actually wanted to say, dear mother, please don't do anything, just rely on the money left by father, and the three of them can survive until I pass the imperial examination.
Zhao Qingyun is young, but he is particularly precocious because he has an unreliable mother and a father who takes care of everything at home and outside.

He would habitually clean up the mess for his mother.
He will also evolve into an "all-round" man under the subtle influence of his father.
That is, not only can they study hard, but they will also be responsible for earning money to support the family in the future.
He also handled all the trivial matters at home and any troubles his mother might cause.
Nine-year-old Zhao Qingyun was already able to roughly guess how much money his father could earn and how much savings the family had based on some details.
Excluding the more than one hundred taels of silver that their mother "lent" to the old house over the years, their family should still have more than one hundred taels of silver.
His biological father, Zhao Guodong, is really capable.
Not only can he treat illnesses, but he can also prepare medicinal materials.
Zhao Qingyun vaguely remembers that when he was very young, his father went to the mountains and dug up a ginseng.
His father's surprised and proud look was deeply imprinted in Zhao Qingyun's mind.
Just by looking at his father's expression, Zhao Qingyun knew that the ginseng must be very valuable.
