When Tu Yufan arrived at the Marquis's residence, the Marquis of Huayang sent someone to bring him over.
As soon as he entered the door, Marquis Huayang said, "Yufan, your elder brother has been here these days, so it's inevitable that the mansion has neglected you."
Tu Yufan replied calmly, "My eldest brother is very capable, and it is great that he can come back safely. Mother will feel better after seeing my eldest brother come back, and father will have someone to succeed him."
Marquis Huayang's eyes were sharp. He looked at Tu Yufan intently, trying to see something from him, but found that Tu Yufan was calm and composed, as if he really didn't care.
"At first, I thought your elder brother would not come, but I didn't expect that..." He sighed, "Now that you have figured it out, that's great. However, the Third Princess is of noble status and cannot be compared with Princess Yuexue. Don't lose your sense of propriety and make the Third Princess angry. Don't try to get close to the Third Princess just because of your elder brother."
Tu Yufan saw what Marquis Huayang meant. He thought Tu Yufan was jealous of Hua Jiqian, so he wanted to find a woman of noble status to suppress him.
Marquis Huayang has always been thinking about the Marquis's mansion. He never cared whether the original owner could withstand the ups and downs. He would just watch from the sidelines, always on guard against Tu Yufan doing anything out of line.
Hua Jiqian is here, and Tu Yufan is the one who is abandoned.
Moreover, Hua Jiqian insisted on marrying Xi Shang, and after repeated talks with Marquis Huayang failed, he had already begun to pave the way for him, slowly changing Xi Shang's reputation in the capital. He wanted to fabricate a decent background for the heroine and improve Xi Shang's status by making her the adopted daughter of a wealthy family.
As for Tu Yufan, many of the teachers who taught him had already been dismissed by the Xue family, and Marquis Huayang also acquiesced.
In the past, Aunt Yue spent a lot of money, and the monthly allowance was not enough to support her expenses. Ever since Hua Jiqian was rumored to have died, Aunt Yue's food and clothing became more and more extravagant. Because of Tu Yufan, Marquis Huayang turned a blind eye.
Now, Xue hated her to the core and became more and more harsh on Aunt Yue in some small matters. She was not allowed to exceed the monthly allowance and had to pay her respects to the mistress early every day, otherwise she would be punished by reading scriptures. If Aunt Yue was unwilling to do so, the nanny would just force her to do so. During the process, the nanny was a little heavy-handed and Aunt Yue had many bruises on her body.
"Yufan, look at the injuries on Auntie's body, they were all caused by that damn bitch. The Marquis doesn't want to take care of my affairs, you have to seek justice for me."
Aunt Yue ran over and cried to Tu Yufan again. Her life had been getting worse day by day since her house arrest was lifted. She finally couldn't bear it any longer and asked Tu Yufan for help.
"When my son was missing, didn't my aunt often poke her lungs? Now that things have changed, it's time for her to vent her anger."
Anyway, Marquis Huayang is still in power, and Xue will not touch her for the time being. These little actions are what Concubine Yue deserves.
Aunt Yue's eyes widened with anger: "What do you mean! Are you trying to curry favor with that woman? You let her torture me, do you think she has good intentions? I am the only one doing this for your own good."
"Aunt Yue is tired, take her over to rest."
Tu Yufan didn't want to argue with her and turned away. These days, he had been dealing with the conflicts outside the mansion and couldn't bear to watch the fights in the mansion.
But no one expected that Aunt Yue was so bold that she actually wanted to poison Hua Jiqian to death.
She pretended to be sick, and sent her personal maid to secretly put the poison into her medicine bag, and then planned to put it into the Chinese medicine boiled by Hua Jiqian late at night.
Naturally, he was caught red-handed.
Aunt Yue thought that the maid who had been with her for more than ten years would not betray her. It was ridiculous that she only cared about her own interests, but still naively believed that others would be loyal.
After receiving the order, the personal maid reported the matter directly to Xue.
