Then Aunt Yue was escorted directly to the crowd.
When Tu Yufan arrived, she had already been beaten with ten boards and was dying.
"Yufan, Aunt Yue plotted to murder the legitimate son, which is a heinous crime. She has been punished with ten strokes of the cane for her father's sake, and she cannot be let off easily." There was a hint of coldness in Marquis Huayang's eyes. Tu Yufan was Aunt Yue's son, so naturally he was a little angry.
"Since Aunt Yue plotted to murder my eldest brother, she should be punished. Aunt Yue is my son's biological mother, and I don't want her to suffer this fate. I feel guilty towards my mother, so why don't you kick me out of the house?" Tu Yufan said.
Xue's eyes moved slightly and she clenched the handkerchief tightly.
Marquis Huayang frowned and said, "Nonsense! Why are you thinking about my family's well-being before my father is dead?"
Tu Yufan saw the expression on Marquis Huayang's face and knew that this would take some time, so he could only remain silent.
Xue's eyes showed disappointment.
Aunt Yue was eventually sold off. She originally thought she would go to that miserable and dirty place, but unexpectedly she was taken to a small farm not far from Beijing. She was taken good care of her injuries but was confined to the farm and was not allowed to go out.
Marquis Huayang turned a blind eye to Tu Yufan's private actions. If Tu Yufan didn't care about his biological mother, Marquis Huayang would regard him as a heartless person and would treat him much colder.
People are all double-standard. They can be cold-hearted, but others cannot.
Aunt Yue had been with him for more than ten years, and had had a few romantic relationships with him, but that romantic relationship was insignificant compared to the murder of his legitimate son.
With one unwilling person gone, the only ones left in the mansion fighting were Xue and the heroine.
Xichang was very resourceful. She always managed to let Hua Jiqian see Xue torturing her in just the right way, and then she would speak for Xue in a very considerate way, making Hua Jiqian feel even more sorry for Xichang.
Tu Yufan felt that the heroine was not like an ordinary farm girl. She was adept at house fighting and could hold Hua Jiqian in her hands. This timid and charming look did not seem like a legal wife. Tu Yufan thought that perhaps the heroine was a reborn person, most likely a concubine.
She had a miserable end in her previous life, so she was unwilling to be a concubine. After her rebirth, things went against the grain and she not only became the wife, but also the lady of a marquis's mansion.
.....
The teachers hired by Tu Yufan were gradually dismissed, and the only one who stayed was perfunctory towards him. Tu Yufan focused on managing his private property outside, but he still planned to continue to take the imperial examination.
Merchants are of the lowest class, and it is impossible for them to really engage in business with their status.
Those playboys came over again, and seeing that Tu Yufan was in such a miserable state, they invited him to come out and laugh at their misfortune. However, Tu Yufan still adhered to the principle that if he didn't take advantage of an opportunity, he would be a fool. As long as they invited him, he would definitely go.
"Brother Yufan, it was a close call. You almost became the crown prince. We would not be worthy to sit at the same table with you then."
"Yes, I can only study hard for the imperial examination in the future. Fortunately, I got a scholar, which is not a loss. Maybe I can even serve as an official in the court in the future." Tu Yufan said with a faint smile.
The other person's face twisted slightly, and then he said with a fake smile: "You don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is just because you got a scholar. It's not so easy to pass the imperial examination."
"Yes, you are fine. You don't have this worry. You don't want to take the imperial examination. Anyway, you have a family to support you. I am just a mediocre person. I think after a hundred years, my family will not get much property. By then, I will have to rely on myself for everything."
