Chapter 240
Han Jun threw the fire into Chunhui Hall, and the whole magnificent courtyard was reduced to ashes in the fire.

What is taken away with it is all the dirty, all the sins.What is known to the world, what is not known to the world.

Dingguo's mansion became much clearer and brighter.

After the servants of the Yongping Hou Mansion were sold, there were many vacancies for the stewards of the inner courtyard.

Han Youning had already brought back some maids and mothers who followed her mother back then, and she had been preparing for so long just so that they could be on top today.

There are [-] catties of lotus roots in the mansion. Yesterday she ordered her servants to send them to Prince Jin's Mansion, Marquis of Anling's Mansion, Zhao Xiang'er and Wang Caidan.

For the remaining [-] catties, Han Youning set aside [-] catties, and divided the rest into the kitchens of the inner and outer courtyards, so that everyone, master and servant, could eat and taste.

After finishing the order, Han Youning stayed in the study pondering spices.

Mother's other shops are easy to talk about, and they can recover slowly, but Yuxiangge, the makeup shop, still needs to put more effort into it.

Ling'er walked in, "Miss, Aunt Chu and Miss San are kneeling in the yard. The servants let them in, but they refused, saying they were begging the eldest lady to spare the second room."

Han Youning looked indifferent, "If they want to kneel, they can kneel."

She continued tinkering with spices until noon.

She stretched herself, and looked out through the screen window.

Chu Jingjing and Han Qinglian were dressed in plain clothes, not even cloaks, and shrank and knelt in the cold wind, obviously exhausted.

Now that the winter solstice has passed, the weather is cold, and it is thanks to the two of them that they can bear it.

Han Youning said to Ling'er, "Tell them to come in, and add another charcoal basin."

The bell answered and backed out.

Chu Jingjing and Han Qinglian staggered into the study with each other's support, knelt down and kowtowed.

"Miss, please be merciful and spare the second room!"

Han Youning said in a low voice, "Aunt Chu was joking, when did I say that I would deal with the second room?"

Chu Jingjing hurriedly explained, "Slaves don't mean that! The Wen family has done evil, and as the second master, as a son of man, he should always atone for his mother. The slaves are the second master's concubine, and Lian Er is the second master's daughter, so she should also replace her. The second master should atone for the eldest lady."

It was the first time that Chu Jingjing called herself "I" and a slave in the past.

Han Youning looked indifferent, "You also call yourself a slave, you are a concubine, but you are not qualified to atone for the second uncle."

Chu Jingjing's expression was gloomy, and she pinched her handkerchief and said, "The servant's status is low, so I don't have the right to say such things, it's the slave's arrogance, but..."

Han Youning interrupted her, "It's not difficult for you to be qualified. The second uncle's main room is now vacant, but the second room's reputation is rotten. I'm afraid there will be no good ladies willing to be his stepmother in a while. Come and sit down." This guy, are you happy?"

Chu Jingjing looked at her incredulously, and asked in astonishment, "Miss, you mean...you want to straighten the servants?"

Han Youning nodded, "I promised Sanmei earlier."

Chu Jingjing smiled pleasantly, and took two steps forward on her knees, "This is a great thing! If you don't like this, I am happy! Thank you, Miss, thank you, Miss!"

She turned her head and shouted to Han Qinglian, "Silly girl, hurry up and kowtow to Miss!"

Han Qinglian stared blankly at Han Youning with a look of astonishment.

Wen's committing such evil deeds caused the first room to suffer so miserably, she didn't expect the eldest sister to remember the previous promise, it would be nice to give them a way out for the second room.

But the eldest sister actually ignored the previous suspicions and took the initiative to bring up this matter!
Han Youning smiled, "Since you are going to be the head wife, and the third sister is also the first daughter, there is no reason to kowtow to me, so get up."

Chu Jingjing still took her daughter and kowtowed respectfully three times before getting up and taking a seat.

She hesitated for a moment, and said worriedly, "Although the Duke and Missy have the final say in the mansion, the second master dare not refuse to listen. But the second master looks soft-tempered, but in fact he has a bit of a hard temper. The servant is worried , he felt unhappy because he meant to straighten the slave and maidservant as the eldest lady, so he felt displeased with the slaveservant..."

She hurriedly explained, "The servant is afraid of disappointing the good intentions of the eldest lady. The servant has an empty seat in the main room, but she can't do anything for the eldest lady..."

Han Youning smiled and said, "It's freezing cold, you and Third Sister knelt in the yard for two hours to plead for him, if you can't move him, then he really has a heart of stone."

Chu Jingjing and Han Qinglian looked at each other. It turned out that the reason why the eldest lady made them kneel down for so long was for this.

The last bit of discomfort in their hearts disappeared.

"So, the eldest lady let us kneel outside to win favor for the servant in front of the second master?"

Han Youning blinked, "True friendship is seen in times of crisis, I think Second Uncle will show more respect to Auntie in the future."

Ling'er put a charcoal basin in front of the two of them, let them warm up, and poured hot tea for them.

Chu Jingjing drank a cup of hot tea and roasted her hands on the charcoal basin, her body and heart quickly warmed up.

Her respect was more sincere than before, "Why is Missy willing to help our mother and daughter?"

Han Youning smiled, "You two can kneel outside to plead guilty, so you can tell right from wrong, and you're not someone who shirks responsibility. I'm relieved that the second room can be upright when it's handed over to you."

When Chu Jingjing heard the words, she immediately understood what the eldest lady meant.

What she valued was their loyalty, and what she wanted was the unhappiness of Han Siqi and Han Qingwan.

She thanked her again, "Miss, don't worry, I will definitely persuade the second master, restrain the children, and not cause trouble for the eldest lady and the Duke!"

Han Youning smiled, "I'm not worried."
-
Han Jun called Han Rui to his study outside.

Han Rui looked decadent and drunk, holding a jug in his hand, and sat in the lower position of Han Jun without a shape.

Han Jun asked him, "For so many years, you have been looking forward to the death of my father and son so that you can inherit the title?"

Han Rui took a sip of wine from the flagon in his hand, "Yes. There is a mother with a heart like a snake, and it's hard to raise a good son."

It's just that he was looking forward to their death, but he always just thought about it, fantasizing about the many wonderful things about becoming the Duke of the country, but he never put it into action to work hard!
Well, who would believe this?Mother blocked their way of life!
Han Jun said lightly, "You can see it quite clearly. What's your plan next?"

The two brothers have very different personalities, one is upright and forthright, the other is timid and weak, so they don't communicate much on weekdays.

To be honest, he has looked down on Han Rui from the bottom of his heart since he was a child.You can't even deal with the wives and concubines in the room, but you still want to deal with those shrewd officials?

But his second brother has an advantage, he has a soft ear and a soft heart.

When he was young, he made a mistake and was whipped by his father with a horsewhip. Han Rui lay on his back without saying a word.

According to Guanshi Lu's confession, Han Rui is the only person in the entire mansion who has not been bloodied in these years.

Han Rui's biggest mistake was that Wen Ruchun's blood flowed on his body.

Han Rui said disheartenedly, "I will do whatever my brother asks me to do. If my brother tells me to die, I will die. If my brother wants me to live, then I will live."

Han Jun was not surprised by his answer, he has always been bloodless, and now he is even more so.

"You've also heard about Xiao Wen's family. Although she was expelled from the family before, she still belonged to the Yongping Hou Mansion and had a clean reputation. Therefore, the two children are still counted as the sons and daughters of the legitimate son, which is considered exalted. Their identities. Now that Xiao Wen's family is in the Jiaofang Division, they are of humble origin. What the clan discusses is that the two children can no longer be the sons and daughters of the legitimate son no matter what."

Han Rui looked at Han Jun drunkenly, and said with a smile, "The clan's discussion is based on elder brother's wink. Well, they have a biological mother who is a prostitute. take a look."

Han Jun didn't care whether he agreed or not. He said these things just to tell him.

"Also, your wife is vacant now, do you have any plans to remarry?"

Han Rui laughed loudly, "Continue to marry? The second wife's reputation is so bad, which serious family is willing to marry their daughter to me? Even if there is, I will not harm others. Can I live by myself? How long, we are still talking! Why bother to bring another to be buried with you!"

Han Jun said, "Since you don't have the intention to remarry, then you should straighten the Chu family. She was afraid that you would be killed by me, so she dragged her daughter to kneel in You Ning's yard to beg for two hours. You Ning was so entangled by her, Come to me again to make peace."

Han Rui was stunned, and there was a trace of clarity in his drunken eyes.

Then, he returned to his indifferent look, "As big brother wants, I have no objection."

Han Jun frowned and looked at him, "Let's go."

Han Rui staggered to his feet, and walked out staggeringly, "I won't stand in the way of big brother..."
-
The Han's ancestral hall opened again, and Wen Ruchun was expelled from the clan.

Han Rui also changed from a prostitute to a concubine.

Chu Jingjing was recorded in the family tree and became Han Rui's main wife, and Han Qinglian also became the second wife's prostitute.

As for Han Siqi and Han Qingwan, they became the sons and daughters of the bastards, and they were also the sons and daughters of the bastards, and their status plummeted.

The glory of the Duke of Dingguo has almost nothing to do with them.

Chu Jingjing moved into Qingtengyuan, where Xiao Wen's family lived, and became the hostess of the second bedroom.

The corridors of Qingteng Garden are filled with red lanterns, red curtains and red silk quilts have been changed in the room, and the decorations have also been changed to auspicious and bright ones. It is festive to look at.

Chu Jingjing was dressed in bright red embroidered clothes, her hair was dignified and dignified, and she sat in the head seat, admonishing her two daughters in a serious manner.

She is full of confidence now, she has the respect of the young lady and the respect of the second master.The second master came into her room yesterday, and while drinking, he dragged her to talk until he was drunk and fell asleep.

As a concubine, Han Qingwan sat in the last seat, listening to her aunt's instruction with a sullen face.

The slave who used to bow down in front of her has now become her aunt, and her words are harsh and vulgar, but she can only listen!

Her father, why can't he find a lady from everyone to be his successor, so he insists on praising such a lowly thing!

This is just a way for Han Youning to train her!
