Chapter 252: Ming Dynasty Knows about Lanxiyuan Affairs

"Mother."

Lu Minghui stumbled forward and tugged at the sleeve of the Yongning Marquis's wife. "Mother, I really have a hard time dealing with Lu Yao."

"He guessed that I tricked Lu Sanjin into falling into the water and deliberately concealed the news to delay the rescue time, causing Lu Sanjin to have a high fever and become mentally ill."

"His right hand was also cut by Qi Qi while searching for me in the mountains. He almost had all his fingers severed, which would have cut off his chance of success in the imperial examinations and his career as an official."

"Mother, if he gets the upper hand, he will not let my daughter go."

The wife of the Marquis of Yongning was shocked. A sarcastic smile appeared on her lips, and she said calmly, "It's not an accident, is it?"

"My son Minghui really has the heart to do great things."

It's a pity that his mind is too cruel and his methods are too shallow.

"Minghui, it is said that in remote rural areas, sons are considered a gift from heaven, a glory to the family, and daughters are considered weeds, maggots, and beasts."

"You have caused so much trouble as a daughter, but you were not regarded as a disaster and drowned. This is really the kindness of the women of the Lu family."

"Don't worry. No matter how powerful Lu Yao is, he can never surpass the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion, which is still standing strong and powerful."

"From now on, you only need to do one thing well."

"Pretend to be kind and generous, act virtuous, be a good wife to Gu Huai, give birth to children, and firmly hold the support of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion in your hands."

"Minghui, put your thoughts away." Mrs. Yongninghou twisted the handkerchief and stroked Lu Minghui's panic-stricken face. "Yongninghou Mansion is not the Lu family of Changxi Village, and the Marquis is not a merciful farmer. If you If you continue to do things that are detrimental to the interests of the Hou Mansion and do not bring greater value, the Marquis will never mind cutting off his arm to survive and abandoning his car to protect the commander in order to protect the overall interests of the Hou Mansion. "

"The way to live belongs to the Marquis' Mansion, but the way to die belongs to you alone."

"Minghui, it's time to learn your lesson and be sensible."

"Did you understand?"

The wife of the Marquis of Yongning's voice was calm and without any emotion.

It was such an ordinary sound that made Lu Minghui tremble with fear.

"Mother, I will be obedient."

Lu Minghui lowered her eyebrows and was busy making promises.

The wife of the Marquis of Yongning patted Lu Minghui's cheek again and continued, "Don't even think about attacking the Ming Dynasty again."

"You're no match for her."

“Some things should either be left undone or done thoroughly.”

"If you do it, it will only be full of loopholes and make you laugh."

Lu Minghui was not convinced, but she did not dare to go against Madam Hou's wishes at this moment.

"I will listen to my mother and set up a small Buddhist temple in Lanxi Temple to copy Buddhist scriptures and cultivate my character."

"That's better." Lady Yongning Marquis turned around and left without saying anything more.

Lu Minghui said meaningfully, "Mother, please don't forget your daughter's reminder."

Hearing this, the wife of Marquis Yongning paused but did not turn back.

Under the eaves, Nanny Wang had an ominous premonition.

The first time she met the eldest lady, she saw malice and disgust in her eyes.

After thinking about it, she didn't know how she had offended the eldest lady.

A pair of beautifully embroidered satin shoes appeared in Wang Ma's sight, and she quickly came to her senses, "Madam."

A calm and familiar voice came from above, "Madame Wang, the weather is nice, please take a walk with me."

"yes."

As soon as the wife of Marquis Yongning stepped out of Lanxi Courtyard, the sound of porcelain falling to the ground was heard from behind, followed by Lu Minghui's roar.

"Qiu Shi, where the hell have you been?"

"Come on in now."

…

Cuiyuan.

Dan Zhu, who smiled shyly and spoke softly, returned home with a red face and a full load.

As soon as one entered the Cuiyuan, Danzhu's amiable, gentle and well-behaved face disappeared completely. Her delicate brows were slightly furrowed, and a faint gloomy mist seemed to linger around her.

She sipped a cup of tea, moistened her throat, and spoke slowly and clearly, "Madam, I have heard of two important things."

"First, the Marquis of Yongning has become increasingly indifferent and distant to his eldest son, Lu Minghua, and has had many disputes with his wife. According to the maids in the kitchen, the Marquis of Yongning seems to want to bring his concubine's son back to the mansion to raise him."

"The second one is Lanxiyuan."

Danzhu's voice deepened, and a hint of hostility appeared between his eyebrows. "Last winter, the eldest daughter of the Marquis's Mansion beat and killed a servant of Lanxi Courtyard because of a disagreement. After being warned by the Marquis's wife and the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, she restrained herself and did not cause any more deaths."

"But the craftsman in the flower room hinted that the death penalty can be avoided but the living punishment cannot. The eldest lady of the Marquisate has come up with a lot of ways to torture people. Among all the servants in Lanxi Courtyard, Qiushi suffered the most. He has lost half of his life and he won't live long."

"And Chunhua, her legs seem to be useless, and she walks with a slight limp."

"The Marquis's wife protected Lanxi Court very closely. The indentures of all the servants in Lanxi Court were in the hands of the Marquis's eldest daughter. Therefore, the information that was leaked were just fragments of ambiguous information. No one dared to disclose the specific situation to the outside world."

Danzhu knew that Lanxiyuan was once the lady's courtyard and the servants of Lanxiyuan were once the lady's servants, so he took the trouble to inquire about it indirectly.

Lu Mingchao pursed his lips and frowned tightly.

She still remembers Qiushi.

The little girl in pink clothes, with red and swollen eyes from crying, was well-behaved and proper.

Does Lu Minghui have some kind of crazy and mad disease?

In the original novel, the original owner threatened to die, and the Marquis' Mansion had to save face and allow the original owner to stay in the mansion as the second lady of the Marquis' Mansion. Chunhua, Xia Chan, Qiu Shi, and Dong Xue did not change owners halfway, but except Xia Chan, the other three also had a miserable end.

After all, even the original owner himself was killed on the street and no trace of his body was left.

Chunhua died while blocking a bandit's knife for her original owner on the way to worship, Qiushi was implicated by her original owner and was ordered by the marquis' wife to take off his outer clothes and beheaded in front of all the servants in the mansion, and Dongxue seemed to have been arranged to be married to the son of a steward by Lu Minghui.

It helped the manager, but it made Dongxue suffer.

The manager's son was a drunkard, a whore and a gambler. When he got drunk, he would beat and kick Dongxue.

As for who was in charge, she really didn't know.

She read the book hastily, flipping through it casually, and there was not much she could remember clearly.

And the summer cicada...

The summer cicada chose a tree to roost in, and pledged its loyalty to Lu Minghui without anyone noticing.

After Lu Minghui and Gu Huai became engaged, they paired Xia Chan and Buyan together, calling it "good things come in pairs."

"Where are Xia Chan and Dong Xue?" Lu Mingchao raised his eyes and looked at Danzhu.

Dan Zhu said respectfully, "Since the year before last, whenever the eldest daughter of the Marquis's mansion went to a banquet and invited guests, Xia Chan and Dong Xue always served by her side. The servants of the Marquis's mansion did not see anything wrong."

"Xia Chan was also gifted by the eldest lady of the Marquis's Mansion. It was a solid gold hairpin that could be exchanged for a lot of silver."

"Although winter snow is not as glorious as summer cicadas, it is still safe with spring flowers and autumn fruits ahead."

Lu Mingchao frowned in thought.

Among the four maids, Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter, the oldest one, Chunhua, is the most capable and thoughtful, while the most taciturn and cunning one, Qiushi, is the one.

She left home. She could understand that Lu Minghui didn't like Qiushi.

Qiushi is a slow-moving and not sweet-talking person.

Then why not give up Chunhua?
