Aunt Yue shuddered, her thoughts turned around, and her face became solemn: "Son, you are right. This woman has lost her son and must have gone crazy. We should bear with it for now. When you succeed to the title, we can drive this crazy woman out of the house."
Tu Yufan's eyes darkened. The villain's words seemed particularly funny when combined with her brain.
However, Aunt Yue finally changed into plain clothes and took off the hairpins on her head.
Just at this time, Marquis Huayang also came over. He took a look at Aunt Yue's makeup, and his expression eased a little, but the worry between his brows still lingered.
"Yufan, your mother is not very well. Go and take a look at her."
"Yes, father."
Tu Yufan slowly stepped back, signaling with his eyes to Aunt Yue not to be so arrogant, but he guessed that she didn't understand.
When they arrived outside Xue's house, after Nanny Kong came in to deliver the message, they waited for another hour. Tu Yufan showed no impatience at all. He looked normal and was secretly cultivating his internal strength.
Although the original owner was a playboy, he was not interested in women and was in good health. He just liked drinking and eating meat, which made him a little fat.
Nanny Kong probably noticed that Tu Yufan didn't make a big fuss, so she finally invited him into the house. A strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine came from the house. Xue leaned weakly on the chair, looking at him with cold eyes.
"I heard that mother was very worried. I wonder if she is feeling better now."
"The doctor has examined her and she is fine. I heard that Aunt Yue has been very happy these days. I'm sure you are in a very good mood."
"How could that be? My brother has not returned yet, and my aunt didn't know what happened. Today, she has repented and is copying sutras in the Buddhist temple to pray for my brother."
"Humph, you have made some progress." Xue listened to Tu Yufan's nonsense and couldn't help but mock him: "You still know how to pretend. It's a pity that this mansion supports a bunch of useless people like you. My Qian'er worked hard in the court for the mansion, and now he still doesn't know how to die."
Tu Yufan: ....That’s true.
The original owner and Aunt Yue did nothing and lived a comfortable life in the Marquis' Mansion.
But isn't this what Xue wanted? If the original owner studied everywhere, Xue would be even more unhappy.
Seeing Tu Yufan remained silent, a trace of resentment flashed across Xue's face. She originally wanted to make him stand outside the house in the cold for a while, let him make a fuss, speak rudely, and then give him a reputation of being disrespectful to the mistress.
It was a pity that he stood outside the door for an hour without making any noise, which made it seem like she was deliberately making things difficult for him.
She lowered her eyes with hatred.
They want to be in power, dream on! She would rather adopt a child from a branch family than let these two idiots be in power.
Tu Yufan suddenly felt some movement outside the door. His expression changed and he bowed.
"My brother is very capable and knows how to act. I am naturally not as good as him, but for the future of the Marquisate, I am willing to take on this responsibility."
"You're dreaming. You think you can replace Qian'er? Get lost!!"
Xue was irritated by Tu Yufan. She grabbed the porcelain plate with dried fruits on it and threw it at his face. Tu Yufan dodged the blow by turning slightly. There was a "click" sound and someone groaned.
“Nonsense!”
I don't know when Marquis Huayang was standing behind him. He was hit by the porcelain plate and a red swelling gradually appeared on his dark face.
Tu Yufan saw the maidservants standing at the door looking anxious, and thought that maybe Marquis Huayang didn't want them to report to Mrs. Xue.
I didn't expect that Marquis Huayang was so insidious.
