Chapter 47 Happiness for This
Minister Li was a pampered civil servant whose most tiring job was sleeping with women. He didn't have much strength, and after kicking Madam Li a few times, he was so tired that he was out of breath.
Mrs. Li is not much better.
This was the only time in her life that she was beaten up. She curled up on the ground, holding her stomach, looking very miserable.
When Clan Leader Li saw that it was almost done, he snorted coldly to stop them, "That's enough, there's no point in saying more now.
Fortunately, the result was good. The emperor did not pursue the matter any further, and Mingyue was able to marry into a wealthy family. It would be easier for girls in the clan to get married in the future.
Even though Li made a big mistake, he should copy some scriptures in the Buddhist temple for Mingyue's sake.
There is so much discussion out there now, so don’t let others laugh at you.”
Minister Li bowed quickly and answered yes, then ordered his men to lock his wife up in the Buddhist hall and then invite the clan leader into the flower hall.
While the two were whispering and exchanging information, an inconspicuous old woman slipped out of the corner door and started to clean up according to Li's instructions.
Now that the coffin has been closed, the families of Luzhu Chunhong and others can be released.
This was the great wish that Li made before the Buddha. If it came true, she would never kill again. Now is the time to fulfill her wish.
After all, the marriage between the two families would not harm anyone else. As long as Governor Xiao did not pursue the matter and the emperor did not get angry, she had nothing to be afraid of. No one would be so blind as to continue investigating the matter.
After her mother left, Li Mingyue returned to her bridal chamber in a bad mood. She asked the maids and old women to prepare her dowry while she listened to Nanny Li giving her a lecture.
After seeing the vicious side of the Duke's wife and Zhao Zhenzhen's shameless arrogance today, she was really scared. She was no longer as impatient as before when listening to Nanny Li's nagging.
Sometimes growing up happens in a flash.
Before the marriage, she was only worried that it would not go through and had no time to think about other things. Now that it has gone through, she has begun to worry about her future life.
It was impossible for their father not to be angry as the mother and daughter planned such a big thing behind his back. Her mother was now unable to take care of herself and she had to rely on herself.
The Duke's Mansion is not as glamorous as she had imagined, and her mother-in-law and sister-in-law don't seem easy to get along with. Now she has no other choice but to hold on to her brother Chengye.
But that medicine...
Li Mingyue couldn't help but shudder when she thought of the imperial physician's diagnosis.
Brother Chengye can't have sex for at least half a year. When he looked at her, he wanted to eat her up. Can she really win back Brother Chengye's heart?
Thinking of this, Li Mingyue couldn't help but shed tears, and stroked her belly with a miserable look on her face.
It would be great if she could get pregnant now, otherwise she doesn’t know how she would get through the next six months.
What if the Duke's wife asked her to behave herself?
What if Zhao Zhenzhen snatches my dowry?
Will Chengye help her?
It turned out that Li Mingyue's heart and eyes were filled with only her love, and she always felt that as long as she married her sweetheart, she would not be afraid of any hardship.
But it was not until she got married that she realized that marriage was not just a matter between two people, she had to deal with a whole family.
There are some pains that she really cannot bear, and no matter how much love she has, it cannot make it sweet.
Li Mingyue's expectation soon came true. She was unable to meet Zhao Chengye that night. It was said that the prince had moved to the front yard to study hard.
This is easy to understand. Chunhong's strong medicine almost killed him, and Zhao Chengye would follow the doctor's orders for the sake of his own future and health.
Not to mention that he didn't like Li Mingyue, he didn't even bring the two maids who used to be his favorites.
Even the servants were replaced by big, strong and ugly ones, for fear that he would fail if he had the slightest lustful thoughts.
The Duke's wife was also very cautious and even asked the old nanny to pass messages to her son.
She only has this one son and he has no offspring yet. If he ever fails in that aspect, she will have no one to cry to.
When she thought about why her son became like this, she hated Li Mingyue so much that her teeth itched. If her son hadn't said that there were too many people paying attention and it was not appropriate to cause trouble, she would have wanted to beat that bastard's face to pieces.
Even though they couldn't hit the Duke's wife, they didn't intend to let her go, and Li Mingyue soon lived a miserable life.
When Jiang Xinyu was still sleeping soundly in her quilt at noon, Li Mingyue had already gotten up early and was standing in front of the Duke's wife's door waiting to pay her respects.
Making tea, pouring water, fanning, and massaging the back, the Duke's wife planned to use all the tricks she used to torture her daughter-in-law on Li Mingyue.
If it weren't for the fact that he had to return home within three days, the situation would probably be even worse than this.
Li Mingyue accompanied the Duke's wife for a whole day and was so tired that her waist and legs ached and she didn't eat well. She finally went home at night and her eyes were swollen from crying.
I don't know if she would regret it if she had the memory of her previous life. Apart from the wedding night with her beloved, her situation is completely different from that of her previous life.
Xiao Yuan is a responsible person. Although his temper is not very good, he will not get angry at an innocent woman.
In the previous life, when Li Mingyue was getting married to him, there was also trouble caused by a scholar. After Xiao Yuan solved the problem, he lifted the veil, said a few words, and went back to the palace. After that, he did not return home for more than half a month.
Li Mingyue was afraid that Xiao Yuan would tremble as soon as he saw her, and Xiao Yuan was too lazy to pay attention to her. Even when he returned home, he would not enter her yard.
The two of them lived in peace and harmony, and the servants in the mansion were also respectful to her.
Xiao Yuan was rich but not a stingy person. Although she did not hold the power of housekeeper in the Governor's Mansion, she received a generous monthly salary, and had no shortage of various jewellery and clothing materials.
After a few months, she felt bored at home and mustered up the courage to tell Xiao Yuan that she wanted to visit her mother. Xiao Yuan agreed, and even later, no one cared when she went out for several days a month.
It can be said that apart from the lack of married life and children, Li Mingyue's married life is simply enviable.
As a result, she later colluded with Zhao Chengye to frame Xiao Yuan, and many people secretly said that she was stupid and wanted to die instead of leading a good life.
Unfortunately, she can never have this kind of life again in this life, unless she can give birth to a legitimate grandson of the Duke's Mansion as soon as possible and win Zhao Chengye's heart.
Otherwise, the troubles caused by the mother-in-law and sister-in-law will never end.
Now, just one day had passed and she felt miserable, but she had no idea that she was just thinking about handling it gently when she returned home tomorrow, otherwise she wouldn't even have the energy to cry now.
On the other hand, Jiang Xinyu was as happy as a little mouse that fell into a rice jar. All she did was eat, sleep, and tease her shy husband.
She has never experienced the thrill of falling in love at first sight, but now she really likes Xiao Yuan more and more.
Her husband is so good. He really gives her what she wants and helps her with whatever she needs.
I just mentioned yesterday that I would check her wedding dress shop and today I sent her the information.
Each and every detail was written clearly and clearly, so that even he, a novice in employing people, knew which ones should be kept and which ones should be fired.
A shopkeeper of a certain store was a distant relative of the Liu family.
A certain village head committed crimes and did evil in the name of the Jiang family.
A certain shop is clearly making a lot of profit but appears to be making a loss. It cannot be written clearly enough.
Xiao Yuan even checked Liu's family background and found everything from her brother's corruption and bribery to her nephew's forced rape of a maidservant.
Jiang Xinyu gave a thumbs up in admiration.
As expected, the novel is not completely fictional, the Dongchang man is cheating...
Phew, he's definitely an expert at investigating and collecting evidence.
Especially when it comes to interpersonal relationships, they are very detailed and don’t know this:
How did they find out that the uncle of the second-class maid next to Jiang Wanqiu's sister-in-law's nephew's godfather's sixth uncle was the father-in-law of the son of Li, the shopkeeper of her dowry shop?
