The chaos that just happened has started again.
This time, it was the Lady of the Marquis who pestered the Marquis to hit her.
Chen Yulan had never lost face like this before.
I was slapped in the face in front of so many people.
These are the people she usually bullies. Today, they've made fun of her, so how could she not go crazy?
Chen Yulan's hand went straight for the Marquis's face.
Lord Lu was captured and had nowhere to hide.
"If you don't stop, I'll divorce you." The Marquis had reached his limit.
Although he was a playboy, he wouldn't actually fight with a woman.
When he was young, Chen Yulan scratched him quite a few times.
Now that he's so old, he doesn't know how to restrain himself.
When Chen Yulan heard that she had been divorced, she burst into tears.
"I've worked so hard for this family, using my own treasury to supplement the Marquis's mansion. What right do you have to divorce me? Have you found another vixen outside?"
After saying that, he started to take action.
The Song family couldn't stand it any longer. A private treasury? Everyone knows what a private treasury is all about.
"Sister-in-law! The younger generation is all here."
It would be best if this Marquis's mansion divided its property as soon as possible, so as not to drag the third branch of the family down with them.
"What have you done, sister-in-law? If Ling'er really marries the butcher as his second wife, how will the daughters of the Marquis's mansion get married in the future? Don't you think about the future of the Marquis's mansion when you do these things?"
Chen Yulan glared at Song Shi: "You dare to lecture me?"
Song continued to berate her: "Sister-in-law, you should use your brain more in the future! Don't drag Fang'er down with you too."
Madam Mo chimed in, "Even if you don't think about the second and third wives, you should at least think about Fang'er."
Chen Yulan started acting up again, even a concubine's daughter from the second wife dared to criticize her.
"Enough!" Lord Lu was truly angry.
Song and Mo exchanged a glance, and then stood up one after the other.
If these two parents-in-law have a conflict with the second and third wives, they will unite against outsiders.
Seeing their mother get up, the younger members of the second and third wives also got up.
The fact that the Marquis and his wife fought like this in front of these younger generations was truly shocking to them.
Lu Yanping hugged her two trembling younger sisters.
Suddenly, she realized that there was nothing to be afraid of about the Chen family or the Marquis.
They're just two mad dogs biting each other.
While her father was completely defenseless, Lu Yanfang had already gotten up on her own.
By the time the couple came to their senses, the people from Shou Kang Tang had already scattered.
Aunt Yao was dragged away by Lu Yanling.
The Marquis made her kneel, but she didn't even look at her own current state.
Aunt Wang left with her three daughters, trembling with fear.
After Chen Yulan had cried herself to sleep, the Marquis was also exhausted.
He left Shou Kang Hall without saying a word.
And so the farce came to an end.
After this incident, Lu Yanling is temporarily safe.
Chen Yulan didn't dare to be so heartless as to arrange any more random people for her.
Although Aunt Yao was injured today, Chen Yulan suffered even more.
I finally felt relieved.
The Marquis's mansion returned to peace. The old lady remained ill, and the Marquis continued to frequent brothels.
Chen Yulan continued to grumble and curse, saying that the Marquis's mansion had no money left.
She couldn't keep running this household anymore.
But she was afraid of being divorced, so she had to slowly return the dowry she had swallowed from the former Marquis's wife to maintain the Marquis's household expenses.
So she would occasionally cause trouble at Avon, but Nightingale would always kick her out.
*
Avene
Donghua was vividly recounting what had happened at Shou Kang Hall to everyone.
After she finished speaking, no one made a sound for a long time.
Although no one witnessed the scene firsthand, they could imagine how horrible it was.
Granny Qiu spoke up: "It won't be long before the Marquis's mansion falls apart."
Jiang Chuwei said, "Now that the Marquis's mansion is out of money, Madam Chen is anxious and will naturally think of selling those concubine's daughters for a good price."
After chatting for a while, there was no need to continue the conversation.
Today, Avon is practically a standalone entity.
Chen Yulan got nowhere, and Qiao Xuerou dared not provoke her further.
These days, Qiao Xuerou is going through a lot of agonizing times.
Chen forbade her from getting close to Lu Haoran, and had no intention of letting Lu Haoran acknowledge her.
Qiao Xuerou was anxious, but Hao Ge'er was her source of confidence and her weapon to defeat Jiang Chuwei.
Qiao Xuerou sneaked into Jinfutang, but was discovered by Granny Li.
"Miss, what are you doing here?" Granny Li shouted sternly.
"I...I came to see Hao-ge'er," Qiao Xuerou said softly.
She was afraid of disturbing Chen Yulan.
Today, she knows about what happened at Shou Kang Tang.
Jiang Chuwei is now almost at the point of no return with the Marquis's mansion.
Chen Yulan was helpless against Jiang Chuwei, but she could kill Qiao Xuerou as easily as crushing an ant.
Now, the Crown Prince has been transferred to work in the salt mines, and he has been gone for more than ten days.
Without the support of the heir apparent, Qiao Xuerou became much more low-key in the Marquis's mansion.
However, it's excessive for Chen to prevent her from seeing the child after so many days of his return.
Hao-ge was born after she carried him for ten months.
She was a meritorious official of the Marquis's household.
Why did Ms. Chen keep her son?
Granny Li glanced at Qiao Xuerou, wondering who she was trying to impress with her delicate and weak appearance.
“Go back! There’s no good for the child to stay with you. If you’re smart, just pretend you never had her.”
Granny Li's tone betrayed her disdain.
What's so great about this woman? She's nowhere near as good as the Crown Prince's wife.
"What did you say?" Qiao Xuerou suddenly looked at Granny Li.
She knew that Li Mama's words represented Chen Shi's meaning.
"Madam will not mistreat the child. If you want to continue staying in the Marquis's mansion, you must listen to Madam. She will not harm Hao-ge'er."
"Hao-ge'er is my son, why should I pretend I never gave birth to her?" Qiao Xuerou screamed.
"Do you want him to have a mother who is the descendant of a disgraced official?" Granny Li pointed out mercilessly.
No one around here will hear you.
Granny Li could no longer bear it, so she spoke a bit harshly.
She was the Lady of the Marquis's personal maid, or to put it more bluntly.
With such a clueless mother, Hao-ge'er will be ruined if he stays by her side.
Qiao Xuerou's face turned deathly pale.
Having followed the prince for so many years, she had almost forgotten her own identity.
However, Jinfutang did not want to be as airtight as Granny Li thought.
The news quickly reached Jiang Chuwei's ears.
"Descendant of a disgraced official?" Jiang Chuwei pondered these words repeatedly.
In her previous life, including the years when her soul wandered, Jiang Chuwei did not discover this secret.
"Have there been any criminals with the surname Qiao in the capital in recent years?" Jiang Chuwei went through her mind and couldn't recall any families with the surname Qiao being convicted.
"Did you change your name?" Granny Qiu asked.
"That's possible, and it could also be local officials," Jiang Chuwei analyzed.
"Send someone to investigate first," Jiang Chuwei instructed.
"Yes!" Chunqin quickly went to make the arrangements.
Lu Yanke, who was at the salt mine, sent back news that the Prince of Jin had his eye on him.
As long as he has any weakness that Jiang Chuwei can exploit, she will take action. However, if starting with Qiao Xuerou can drag the Marquis's mansion to its doom, Jiang Chuwei is happy to give it a push.
