Chapter 120 Nightmare

"Aying, don't blame me. I am doing this for our own good. We are still young and will have more children."

Everyone set off for the Cheng'en Marquis' Mansion. Li Zhengchun felt a little guilty and comforted Feng Ying in the car.

Feng Ying pulled back her hand and smiled: "Ah Lang, indeed, my good days are yet to come."

Li Zhengchun didn't understand what Feng Ying meant, and said, "Right, actually Jian has been a burden to you over the years. After she... gets married, you can relax. Your good days are still to come."

Feng Ying thought for a moment and asked, "So you are sure that they want to kill Ah Jian, right? Otherwise, why are you here to comfort me? You knew that someone wanted to kill your daughter, but you didn't stop them. You are an accomplice, right?"

Li Zhengchun was a little embarrassed by what he said: "I can't do anything about it because I'm a higher-ranking official and I can't suppress people."

He sighed and said, "Fortunately it was Jian. By sacrificing her, our whole family can be saved. Her death was worth it."

Feng Ying wanted to curse, but after thinking it over, he decided not to.

It's useless to scold this kind of person. He will just suffer the consequences.

The Cheng'en Marquis' Mansion was also near the imperial city, and everyone arrived there quickly.

As soon as Feng Ying got off the car and went to pick up her daughter, Old Lady Li called her from inside the car: "Ms. Feng, I didn't expect you to become more and more frivolous. You only care about money every day. I said at the time that you shouldn't marry a merchant's daughter. You like to haggle over every penny, and you don't have the generosity and upbringing that a girl from an aristocratic family should have."

He was blaming Feng Ying for taking the 100 guan.

But Feng Ying heard that this was something Xiao Wenniang didn't want to bother giving, and she didn't give back a single cent of the betrothal gifts that Xiao Wenniang had given to the old lady and the Cheng'en Marquis' Mansion.

You still have the nerve to call her a business woman.

Feng Ying thought for a moment, then turned around and smiled, "Mother, it was you who wanted to sell your granddaughter, but in the end you accused me of being petty. It would be awkward for anyone to hear this, even if it wasn't me. You are a lady from a rich family, after all, so how could you say such petty things? You don't act like a mistress of the house at all, but more like a concubine who is not presentable and is always scheming. Is this really how the Xu family educates people?"

Gao and other female relatives also followed. After all, they were going to the Cheng'en Marquis' Mansion, and both Gao and Jiang had to see the world.

Gao and Feng Ying got off the car together. As soon as Feng Ying finished speaking, she understood what he meant and said, "Ying, from what you said, it seems that A Niang is a fake. How could such a thing be false? It's a pity that most of the Xu family members are dead, or they have moved away and can't be contacted. Otherwise, I really want to find them and talk to you. A Niang can't be a fake."

"What are you talking about? Shut up!" Old Mrs. Li felt guilty and her face turned extremely pale.

Gao pouted and said, "What's wrong? She's helping mother. This won't do. If it was your sister-in-law, you would definitely praise her."

Feng Ying said: "I was just saying it casually, mother, your behavior is really not up to par."

"Why, you know you are not presentable, right? I am really curious about the Xu family's upbringing."

"It's a pity that the elders of the Xu family are gone, or I would really like to ask them how they raised me when I was a child. After all, they have at least three mu of land, right? Can't they even afford to raise a wife?"

The more Feng Ying spoke, the smoother the buckle became.

"You..." Old Mrs. Li's eyes turned red.

"Third sister-in-law!" Jiang interrupted Old Lady Li, adjusted the swing on her head, looked at Feng Ying and smiled, "Aren't you asking for trouble by talking about your family background here?"

"You are the only merchant daughter in the Li family, and the only illegitimate daughter-in-law. Why do you have to..." Jiang said, covering her mouth with a handkerchief, with a look full of disgust, and then exchanged glances with Old Lady Li.

Old Lady Li said to Gao, "Did you see that? This is why you are being scolded. You are making up stories out of nothing. If you dare to say nonsense again, the second and third sons will divorce you. This is really outrageous."

"What are you arguing about? Is this your home?" Xiao Wenniang's maid came over and scolded everyone.

Xiao Wenniang's carriage was in the front and had already entered the second gate of the mansion without receiving them.

Her maid continued, "Get off here. The Marquis likes quietness, so don't make any noise."

She looked only thirteen or fourteen years old, and was very capable and domineering, just like her master.

Everyone here is older and of higher status than her, and she simply doesn't take anyone seriously.

Feng Ying frowned and said, "It was the Marquis's wife who invited us here, not us who wanted to come here."

"Didn't I give you money?" The maid said sarcastically, "No matter who comes, the rules are the same. Country people just have no manners."

After the maid finished speaking, she turned around and said something to the servants in the marquis's mansion. Her voice was not loud, but her expression was full of disgust and contempt, and she was obviously making fun of the Li family.

Feng Ying was a little annoyed.

Old Mrs. Li was quite well-behaved. She couldn't move her legs, so she asked her maid to support her.

Then he walked down and said, "Well, don't be so embarrassing, this is a noble family."

"Just follow them."

The Li family members and Wang Duan, who was dressed as a maid, went in with the maids in the marquis' mansion.

They were first invited to the flower hall of the Marquis's mansion.

Xiao Wenniang had arrived first, and was accompanying a middle-aged lady like a butterfly.

The lady had no flowers in her hair, wore a windproof headband, and had a haggard look in her eyes. She was not a very pretty woman, but she had a good temperament and looked very dignified.

This person is the wife of Marquis Cheng'en, the mother of Consort Gao Guifei, Zhao.

"Aunt, they are here, don't be sad. Jiulang would not want you to be so sad if he knew about it."

"Good boy, it's hard for you to still miss Jiulang. Only after Jiulang left did I know who treated him best. You were the only one who often came to visit him and me, and even found a suitable partner for him."

"This is what I should do. We grew up together, so this is the way it should be."

Zhao raised her head, looking a little hesitant: "But wouldn't this be a bad thing? Isn't the child alive and well?"

"How come she's not sick or in trouble? She's a fool. She's not good at anything. She won't live long."

Xiao Wenniang's eyes were gloomy from an angle where no one could see, then she bent down and said, "Aunt, this is not because I am cruel, this is the solution. Otherwise, Jiulang will always pester you, what will happen to your body?"

Zhao's tears kept flowing down, and she said, "She is his mother, I am not afraid that he will pester me, but he always appears in my dreams with tears in his eyes, I am afraid that he has some hidden secrets."

The reason why Xiao Wenniang was able to succeed in the divorce was that ever since Gao Jiulang's death, Zhao couldn't sleep all day, and whenever she slept, she would always dream of Jiulang.

When she woke up, she couldn't remember what Jiulang had said, and her spirits were getting worse day by day.

Originally, she wanted to look for the Cui family, but then Xiao Wen's mother sent an old man from aristocratic family, who said that Jiulang didn't want to go alone and needed to find a companion.
