The grandfather and grandson did not go to the yamen in the end, not to mention that the Dingbian Marquis Mansion could not afford to lose this person!
Their original intention was to recover the losses and avenge Qiao Yunxin's biological mother, rather than to fight to the death with the Dingbian Marquis Mansion.
After all, they were the eldest brother's family, no matter whether he belonged to the clan or not, to the outside world, they were his family. If he was too ruthless, it would be extremely detrimental to the reputation of the eldest brother and his two sons in the officialdom.
The other party doesn't care whether you are right or not, they will just think you are too heartless.
Of course, Qiao Xin could also kill Madam Hou with a single knife, but this was only the worst possible solution.
She thought that as long as she put the evidence she found in front of the head of the Marquis's Mansion, someone would naturally kill the Marquis's wife.
However, if we look into the secrets of the past, we will find that pulling out radishes will bring out mud.
They never imagined that the wife of Marquis Dingbian was so bold and could completely manipulate the Marquis Dingbian into doing things.
When she was pregnant, she was planning to marry into the Marquis's mansion.
Not only did he kill the eldest son's biological mother and take his place, he also let his lover be with the Marquis. He often took advantage of the time when Dingbian Marquis went to the northwest to burn the green fire to the sky.
Even his two sons were born to his lovers.
The other party has been in the backyard of the Marquis' Mansion for so many years and has almost absolute power, and is also deeply trusted by all the masters of the Marquis' Mansion.
This shows how powerful Mrs. Hou’s methods are!
No wonder, in his previous life, he was able to kill the eldest brother's family and even plotted against Heng Wen's life, and let his son take over the Northwest Army.
Qiao Xin clicked her tongue twice and ate the melon happily.
This woman is indeed extraordinary.
But in this life, the other party happened to meet his nemesis.
Every time the two sides faced off, Mrs. Hou was defeated by Qiao Xin's unconventional approach.
From Jing'an Town, to Weizhou Prefecture, and then to the capital, there was not a single time when he did not suffer a defeat at the hands of Qiao Xin.
Qiao Xin doesn't like the way women in the backyards of big families frame each other and violate each other's privacy.
When something happens, she won't be sarcastic or beat around the bush with you. She only presents evidence and shows no sympathy.
Her status and ability are there, so she can speak her mind. Most people really don't dare to use filial piety or status to suppress her.
Madam Hou is a cunning woman with a lot of tricks. When facing Qiao Xin, it is like a blind man lighting a lamp in vain.
But she was humiliated every time. How could she, who had had a smooth life, bear this?
Wasn't he planning to let his lover Zhang Zhi sneak into the Qiao family and take such an important position as the chief steward of Junkangtang?
One day, after a tryst between the two, she heard Zhang Zhi mention that the account flow of Jun Kang Tang could reach several hundred taels every day.
In addition, Qiao Xin would regularly send money to subsidize apprentices and female doctors who came from difficult backgrounds.
The successor, Qiao Lingshu, took his direct subordinates to the military camp to serve as military doctors, and Qiao Xin was away from Beijing for most of the year.
Xu and Erlang would never ask about their daughter and sister's dowry shop.
In the current situation of Junkangtang, whatever the steward Zhang Zhi says is the final word!
After succeeding once without being discovered, his appetite gradually grew bigger and he acted more and more without scruples.
But she didn't expect that Qiao Xin would come to her house and cause trouble as soon as she returned to Beijing, catching her off guard.
What she didn't expect was that her brothers from her natal family had been deceiving her the whole time.
The wealth she had obtained through all kinds of scheming was squandered by the other party, and she also completely led her youngest son astray.
She had agreed to just relax and have some fun, but she didn't expect to lose all the money she had earned.
She originally gave the money to her brother so that he could help her buy property in another place, so as to leave a way out for the future.
As Qiao Yunxin becomes more and more powerful, sooner or later the head of the Qiao family will beg him to return to his family.
By then, where will they find a place to stay in this mansion?
Even if Qiao Yunxin doesn't come back, there is a constant temperature on it.
The last plan in Jing'an Town failed. After the other party came back, they began to distance themselves from us and stayed in the northwest for a long time without returning to the capital.
But since they all lived in the same mansion, she always had a chance. She could take her time and plan slowly to pave the way for An'er.
Unexpectedly, everything was defeated by Qiao Xin.
The other party also dug up secrets from many years ago.
Under the gaze of Marquis Dingbian, the marquis' wife collapsed to the ground with weak legs, her eyes dodging and full of hatred.
Old Marquis: It is unfortunate for our family to have such a stupid couple. He has no face to live anymore, he can faint now!
Boom! !
The old marquis was so angry that he fainted.
Dingbian Hou also wanted to faint at this time, but he couldn't. He had to send someone to call a doctor to save his old father's life.
Everyone suddenly became busy.
Qiao Xin asked Doctor Mo to go forward and give the man three or five injections to wake him up!
Doctor Mo’s words were infuriating enough.
"I'm old, and this happens when I'm stimulated. I just need to experience it a few more times!"
Qiao Jilang was too lazy to watch the performance of the old couple.
He waved to his guards and said, "Prepare the boxes and go directly to the Marquis's wife's residence to get her things as collateral. If the Marquis's Mansion doesn't compensate you for the shortfall, go to her parents' home."
The guard said bluntly: "My Lord, the Marquis's family has always relied on the Marquis's for support!"
That means the other party is a poor man and no money can be squeezed out of him.
"Then sell these three dirty things to Nanfeng Pavilion!"
Madam Hou was furious when she heard this, her face was filled with horror: "Qiao Erlang, how dare you!"
“It’s so noisy!”
Qiao Erlang was dissatisfied, and the guard quickly took out a hand towel of unknown color and stuffed it into the marquis's mouth.
The marquis's wife wanted to tear off the hand towel, but the guards grabbed her hands and pulled them behind her back.
With a snap, the arm was dislocated and dropped down instantly, unable to exert any strength anymore.
The other party's face was distorted with pain and cold sweat broke out!
Only then was Qiao Erlang satisfied. He turned around and walked towards Qiao Xin's seat.
Seeing the two male masters of the Marquis' Mansion looking at him in shock, he twitched his mouth, chuckled, and turned his head away.
That's good. It's time to let the people in the Marquis' Mansion see what I can do!
Otherwise, you would really think that his whole family is made of clay!
When he turned around again, he saw his grandmother, her eyes slightly shining, looking at him inquiringly!
This guy is really good. He treats his enemies like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, without showing any mercy.
But even if these people were sold now, it would still not be enough to cover the amount of money that was embezzled.
It was indeed the case. The lady of a marquis's mansion did not even have a decent dowry and valuables.
Apart from the deeds to two shops and the manor, the guards only found some head ornaments and jewelry!
Even Dingbian Hou couldn't believe this would be the result!
He would give his wife 5,000 taels of silver every year for her expenses, and their room was filled with many valuable things.
"They are fake, all forgeries. The real ones have already been sold to the shop by the Fourth Young Master!"
The Marquis of Dingbian was so shocked that he became numb. But the Marquis' wife couldn't bear it and fainted!
Obviously, she was also kept in the dark!
