Because Wang Lingyi asked someone to inspect the manor, the middleman also got involved to verify whether the price was appropriate. The two maids who had become acquainted with each other because of a purchase contract had the opportunity to spend time together again.
Huang Mengling asked the maidservant, who was on good terms with Bicui, to inquire about the matter. The maidservant replied that it was likely true. After the Spring Festival Banquet, a marriage would be arranged for Prince Qing and Prince Yu. Following the marriages, a number of heirs would be conferred upon them. Families with inherited titles but no one had yet been granted the title of heir were submitting petitions for these titles.
Huang Mengling thought this might be an opportunity, otherwise her life would be like this until her death. As expected, she took the initiative to look for Ye Zhou, but worried that Ye Zhou would not come, she directly sent a maid to tell him that she was discussing a divorce.
Ye Zhou told the maid to reply that there was no need to meet, as the divorce papers would be delivered, and she could just ask for anything. Huang Mengling wanted to take all her dowry with her, and Ye Zhou agreed, believing that since it was a divorce, taking the dowry was common sense.
Ye Zhou found a reason to go to the palace to see the queen, brought the complaint with him, and told Zhang Ru the whole story and the divorce.
After reading what Qinghe wrote, Zhang Ru felt that this Huang Mengling and the cruel and murderous Huang Mengling in her dream were finally extremely consistent. It turned out that she was like that.
Zhang Ru asked Ye Zhou, if the evidence is conclusive, Huang Mengling would be sentenced to death according to the law. Has Ye Zhou thought about it? Is this asking Ye Zhou if he still has feelings for her, if he can let it go? Ye Zhou said, "She committed evil and killed two people. Debts must be paid, and murder must be paid with life. This is the right thing to do. I have nothing to say."
Zhang Ru nodded: "In that case, let's get a divorce soon."
Duke Xiangguo, who had favored his concubine and neglected his wife for more than ten years, finally divorced his wife. His wife took all her dowry away, and people in the capital were talking about it for a while.
Wang Lingyi took advantage of the fact that Huang Mengling was currently in the spotlight to announce the results of the re-inspection and valuation. The intermediary agency also came out to clarify that the new confirmed price was 30% lower than the original commercial contract, which meant that not only did they not cheat her, but they actually gave her too much.
Huang Mengling had just moved out of the Duke of Xiangguo's mansion and moved into a house under her own name. This house actually belonged to Huang Zhiyi, but who knew that the substitution had been completed and it was now in her name in black and white. Although she was no longer the Duke's wife, she was rich and famous, and she was the focus of everyone's attention. Huang Mengling still felt a little proud.
Now that no one is restraining her, she's lived a peaceful and stable life for the past decade or so. She still feels somewhat pretty and has a slender figure. Ye Zhou, Zhang Ru, just wait. I'll show you what it means to live a nightmare every day!
Just when she needed a good reputation to start anew, she heard about the announcement of the results of the Zhuangzi business contract inspection. Everyone was talking about how dishonest Huang Mengling was. She'd been given a 30% overage, yet she'd falsely accused them of bullying her, saying she'd bought it for a "remarkably low price." Everyone thought the mansion was bullying a woman who'd been neglected for over a decade.
The maids around Huang Mengling are as ambitious and full of ideas as Huang Mengling. This master used to be quite capable. Although she had a setback later, she got through it smoothly. Now she has escaped with a lot of money. The maids seem to have forgotten their previous grievances and ignited their desire to follow her and be domineering again.
These people immediately set about redeeming Huang Mengling's reputation. "Our young lady had lived in the inner chambers for so long, she didn't understand the current market situation, and when she was provoked into leaving, she thought she'd been ripped off. Now that the truth has been revealed, she's deeply sorry and has offered to reduce the price by 30%."
Unexpectedly, not long after Huang Mengling said this, the little girl next to her, who was on good terms with Bicui, stabbed her in the back. She had been willing to stab Bicui for money, and while promising Bicui not to tell anyone, she had actually told Huang Mengling where the royal family was celebrating the fifth princess' birthday.
Now, of course, she could sell Huang Mengling out for money. This little girl participated in the entire negotiation process, and the middleman had seen it all. She stood up and said that Huang Mengling was a liar! She knew from the beginning that this was a good price, and she deliberately spread these words to frame others.
Huang Mengling is extremely greedy. She told me that the buyer of the Marquis' Mansion is a young girl who is easy to deal with. If I spread this news, they will probably panic and raise the price to quell the rumors. Even if it fails, she will say that she does not understand the market and it is a misunderstanding.
Huang Mengling was furious. When she wanted to deal with this girl, she remembered a crucial issue. The indentures of all her maids had expired in the Duke of Xiangguo's Mansion, so she had no right to deal with this girl.
These were the servants who had been so rude to her in the past. Seeing her lose power, they were so disgraceful and venomous. She had no choice but to negotiate with the old housekeeper and sign the contract for the maids and servants. Only then did the old housekeeper start to discipline these servants. She had lived in peace and stability for more than ten years, and when she left, she had actually forgotten about this matter.
After this little girl stabbed Huang Mengling in the back, she never came back, but returned to the Duke of Xiangguo's Mansion, claiming that she and the other maids around Huang Mengling were all from the Duke of Xiangguo's Mansion, not her, Huang Mengling, and that their indentures were all in the Duke's Mansion.
The maidservant who followed Huang Mengling had not known that her indenture had been transferred to the Duke's Mansion. Now that she knew, she looked at Huang Mengling with mixed feelings. What was this? What was going on? She was no longer as energetic as when she first came out.
Huang Mengling's reputation had taken a hit. The intermediary agency lowered the price of the original contract and stopped giving Wang Lingyi the extra 30%. It was up to her to sell it or not.
Huang Mengling thought about the dilapidated state of the farm and wondered how much work it would take to restore it. The original owner had all left, and if she didn't sell it to Wang Lingyi, it would be hard to find a buyer now. This price wasn't much, but it was still fair. Huang Mengling still wanted to sell it. Wang Lingyi really didn't want to buy it at this point. It was stolen property, and she couldn't bring herself to disclose it now.
Qinghe and Lao Zhuangtou went to the Jingzhao Yin Yamen. Now the Jingzhao Yin is a shrewd person. In addition to being able to do things, he is also a thorough person in all aspects. There is no way around it. If you throw a brick in this place, you might hit a prince.
