"Madam, something's wrong. Master and Concubine Li are back. After they went to Qingya Hall, someone from Master's side came over and said they wanted to take the eldest daughter to Qingya Hall and let the old lady raise her."
In the main courtyard, Mu Sili was teaching Zhu Yan how to read the account books. This was something that noble ladies from aristocratic families had to learn since childhood. Zhu Yan was smart and understood it immediately, which made Mu Sili very satisfied.
The orthodoxy was on the rise, and Qiaohui's anxious voice sounded, making her frown subconsciously.
"Don't be anxious, mother. My daughter is not a child who can be manipulated at will. Even if Mafa wants to take her home to raise her, she still needs to see if she is willing."
"Mother knows. It must be your father who came back and said something nonsense. Otherwise, they wouldn't have suggested taking you to Qingya Hall for education."
After comforting Zhu Yan, Mu Sili had her taken away to rest. She would have to have a good meeting with the people from Qingya Hall soon. It was impossible for her to hand over her daughter.
In less than half a minute, the person Qiaohui mentioned arrived.
"This servant pays his respects to the Madam. Following the orders of the Old Master, I ask the Madam to invite the eldest daughter out. From today on, the eldest daughter will move to Qingya Hall and be raised by the Madam herself."
"What if I don't want to? It seems my father-in-law and mother-in-law haven't learned their lesson yet. If I don't want to do something, no one has the right to order me."
The servant of Qingya Hall was also in a difficult situation. Before he came, he knew that it would be difficult for the lady to pass this hurdle, but if he could not bring back the eldest daughter Zhuyan, he would also be punished.
Thinking that he would be punished no matter what, he might as well just order people to go in and rob the person.
His indenture was with the old man. If he failed to bring her back, he might be sold or beaten to death. But if he brought her back, at most he would be beaten by Mu Sili.
Comparing the two, he felt that it was more cost-effective to offend Mu Sili, so he ordered people to go in and search for the person.
"Go in and search. We must bring the young lady back to Qingya Hall today, no matter what. Otherwise, our lives will be over."
"yes."
Everyone in the group had the same idea: if offending Mu Sili could save their lives, then they should offend her. After today, they might not see each other again, so why bother about other things?
"You dare to cause trouble in my main courtyard? You really don't want to die. Come on, beat them out for me and beat them all the way to Qingya Hall.
"I'm going to Qingya Hall to ask my parents-in-law what they're doing. Do they want to force me to death? If that's the case, I won't be polite."
"yes."
Qiaohui led people to attack directly. The people in Qingyatang did not expect Mu Sili to attack directly. They only reacted after being hit several times, but they did not dare to fight back.
All the way to Qingya Hall, Mu Sili looked at Tong Guowei and his wife with cold eyes.
"Are the parents-in-law planning to forcibly seize their daughter-in-law's daughter? I don't know what Zhu Yan did to offend you, so you sent people to the main courtyard to arrest her. If this gets out, will she still have a good reputation?"
Tong Guowei was stunned. Arrest Zhu Yan? When had he given the order to arrest Zhu Yan? Looking at the servants who had been beaten beyond recognition, he guessed that it was their own fault that caused the trouble.
But as the previous Duke, he was humiliated by Mu Sili time and time again, so he also had a temper.
"Someone, send the lady to the ancestral hall. This is outrageous. A daughter-in-law actually dares to go against her parents-in-law. Is this how the Hesheli family taught you? There are no rules!"
"Really? So this is how my parents-in-law taught Longkodo to take his father-in-law's concubine and bring her into the palace as a concubine, and even forge a false identity for this concubine who came from a brothel?
If this is true, then the daughter-in-law will admit that Hesheli is guilty of not educating her daughter well. After all, neither I nor my family would do such an incestuous thing.
After all, if we really talk about it, Li Si'er is of the same generation as her parents-in-law, and according to ethical principles, the daughter-in-law and Longkodo should call her "little mother."
There was a loud bang, which was the sound of Longkodo kicking the table and breaking it.
He just wanted to see the painful expression on Mu Sili's face when her daughter was taken away, but he didn't expect to hear what she said, and then see the shock and heartache on Li Sier's face, and he felt distressed.
Although they had not had any actual sexual intercourse these days, it was true that he loved Li Si'er. How could he bear to see her being criticized?
"Hesheli Sili, you are simply courting death. If I don't divorce you today, I will be ashamed to face the ancestors of the Tong family. Come, bring the pen, ink, paper and inkstone. I will divorce this jealous father today!"
"That's really unfortunate. I just handed a sign to Concubine Xi yesterday, and I will go to the palace to pay my respects to Concubine Xi in two quarters of an hour.
If you divorced my wife for this reason, wouldn't the news of your incestuous relationship with Longkodo spread all over the streets of Beijing later?"
Longkodo was so angry that his face turned pale and blue, but he couldn't do anything about Mu Sili. When he saw that the servants around him looked at him strangely, he was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Master!"
"Third brother!"
"It's you, bitch, you're the one who made the Third Brother faint from anger. I was really blind to hire you as his wife."
"You only have eyes for your son, Longkodo. When have you ever seen my sincerity? Since you want to divorce me, I will not be polite.
Come on, the old master is seriously ill and unable to get up. The old lady is worried and serves him. From now on, no outsiders will be allowed in Qingya Hall. If anyone breaks in, they will be beaten to death.
"yes."
"How dare you put me and the master under house arrest?"
"What's the big deal? This Tong Mansion was already in my hands a few months ago. That's not right. I don't look down on your Qingya Hall, the front yard, and Chunxi Pavilion."
Before Madam Tong could say anything, she was taken inside. Tong Guowei had felt his body growing weaker and weaker, and he suspected that he had been tricked.
"Hesheli, was it you who did this to my body?"
"Father, what you said is really strange. You drugged yourself, so why are you trying to embarrass me?"
Tong Guowei knew that he had been poisoned by the secret medicine, and he fainted in shock and anger.
"Didn't you see the old man fainted? Take him away and let the old lady take good care of him. Don't let him die before he can breathe. This lady doesn't want to hold a funeral in the near future."
"yes."
"Qiaohui, take Longkodo and Li Si'er to Chunxi Pavilion. Longkodo doesn't like my main courtyard anyway, so let him and his Si'er live together in Chunxi Pavilion like a couple."
Qiao Hui was a little confused. Was this imprisonment? Was it really not a fulfillment?
"yes."
Longkodo and Li Si'er were also a little confused. They knew that Mu Sili would not let them go easily, but they didn't know why she did this.
But what Mu Sili was thinking was that if she didn't put you two together, how could she turn Li Si'er into a human pig?
