The mistress of the Hou family went crazy after doting on concubines and killing their wives.

Chapter 13: Perfecting Lovers

Mrs. Xie frowned and looked at Mr. Zeng.

Mrs. Zeng was now undecided. The doctor of the Lu family was right. Youxi and Fuyi were indeed a bit similar. If so many flowers and spices were added to the mix as the doctor said, it would be even harder to tell them apart. What if it was really her? If you smell the wrong thing, it will be difficult to deal with.

After all, she was familiar with the raw materials of incense. She had seen various processed incense and it was difficult to distinguish them.

Lu Wan suddenly spoke, "Doctor Sun, no one told you that you needed to identify Youxixiang when you came in. How did you know that what we were looking for was Youxixiang? Could it be that someone told you in advance?"

Doctor Sun's expression changed and he subconsciously turned to Zhao Ruyi.

Lu Wan turned to look at Zhao Ruyi, and her tone became even colder, "How does my cousin know that she is checking for a shameless person?"

The whole room was silent for a moment, everyone was smart, and they understood the meaning of Lu Wan's words as soon as they heard it.

Zhao Ruyi suppressed her anger, slowly knelt on the ground, her voice was soft and humble, "The flesh on Er Nainiang's body is because I doted on Chu Rong too much, making her too simple and ignorant. She is the same as me, she only knows how to like her. We need to be sincere and sincere, regardless of gains and losses. This is her fault, and it is also my fault."

Her resentful eyes fell on Lu Shanyuan intentionally or unintentionally, and Lu Shanyuan's heart melted at her affectionate look.

Wasn't it just because she loved herself that she felt aggrieved and followed him without any status?

"Chu Rongxin has no city. I don't know how serious I have offended the eldest girl. But for the sake of her being whipped, please let her go back to apply for medicine first. I will bear whatever punishment the eldest girl wants, even if it means asking me to do it." I have no objection to death. But please, dear girl, please don’t make random assumptions out of anger and hurt the feelings of the Xie and Lu families and the two gentlemen."

These sad and considerate words were so deeply rooted in the hearts of the three of them.

Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Lu both worked hard and risked their lives for their biological son. Isn't it because their son is the flesh of their mother?
Lu Wan almost laughed out loud.

What a clever mouth!

Lu Wan's smile faded and she didn't give any chance, "Mother Wu, go and check whether Yu Churong has received twenty lashes! If he has really received twenty lashes, can he still get up and touch her? If she goes to the outer courtyard and climbs into the foreign man's room, then I will believe that she is truly in love with Master Xie. For this love that moves the world, I can let her go!"

Grandma Wu was stunned and quickly looked at Mrs. Lu.

Mrs. Lu was going to be furious. She naturally saw that Yu Churong was not seriously injured, otherwise she would be jumping around and causing trouble?

But is this the point?

She tried her best to save the Lu family's face, but Lu Wan kept showing off her temper and exposed her own ugliness in front of the Xie family again and again.

Before Mrs. Lu could speak, Lu Wan suddenly knelt in front of Mrs. Xie.

With tears in her eyes, she said, "My cousin has been living in the Lu Mansion for many years. My grandmother is kind-hearted and loves her grandchildren very much but neglects to discipline her. As the eldest granddaughter, I did not teach my cousin well, which made Mrs. Xie laugh."

"But as the saying goes, it is better to tear down a temple than a marriage. It is rare for the two of them to love each other deeply. If the second young master Xie cannot marry his sweetheart, cannot be happy, and has resentment in his heart, the old lady will not be happy. Then Wan'er's crime is even greater, and she asked the old lady to petition the imperial concubine to allow us to break off the engagement and fulfill their wishes."

With tears streaming down her cheeks, the girl endured the humiliation and spoke with great dignity and sincerity, showing off the magnanimity of a legitimate daughter of a high family.

Mrs. Xie's criticism of her just now disappeared.

She had a good sense. If it weren't for the Qin family behind Lu Wan, the imperial concubine would not have paid attention to the declining Xie family.

If the Xie family wants to make a comeback, it not only needs the help of the Duke of Qin, but also Lu Wan's Qianli Hongzhuang, and it also needs a head mother who is the legitimate daughter of a high family.

"Good boy, get up quickly. Let the elders of the two families discuss this matter carefully." Mrs. Xie motioned to the nanny beside her to help Lu Wan up.

Lu Wan wiped away tears and stood back beside Mrs. Lu.

Mrs. Xie made up her mind to support Lu Wan so that she could get into the sedan obediently. After thinking about it for a moment, he said, "Sister, both families are at fault in this matter. My grandson was not well-disciplined, and Wan'er was wronged. Wan'er is my future grandson-in-law, and I have to say something for her about this matter. Words. I have a very strict family education in the Jin Wenhou Mansion. Once I ask for a monk, there is no reason to be soft. Otherwise, how can I convince the public and how can I manage the inner house well? Old sister, do you agree? "

Mrs. Lu's whole body got goosebumps when she heard the old sister's call.

She felt aggrieved that an outsider was interfering in the management of her inner house, but she couldn't refuse. She snorted coldly, "Aunt Wu, check how many times the girl has been whipped? If you don't respect my order and get twenty, then I'll give you another one." Twenty. The executioners and Cuiyan each get fifty lashes, sell them all!"

A chill ran down Nanny Wu's spine, Cuiyan was about to die, and she quickly nodded to the strong women standing behind her.

"Ah...Mother, mother, help me...wu..." Yu Churong screamed in panic.

Several people rushed forward, grabbed Yu Churong's hands and feet, put a rag in his mouth and carried him outside.

After a while, the whip struck the skin and made a crisp sound, followed by shrill cries, which fell silent after a few moments.

Zhao Ruyi knelt on the ground and trembled all over, biting her lip to suppress the sobs, her teeth itching with hatred for Lu Wan.

Lu Shanyuan was heartbroken, but there was nothing he could do.

Lu Wan lowered her eyes.

It’s only twenty lashes, does this make you feel distressed?
I may cause you pain in the future!
After beating the man, Mrs. Lu took a deep breath. She was really unwilling to give up, so she tried to test, "Chu Rong and the second young master are already a couple. This matter..."

She originally planned to wait for Lu Wan to get married and start looking for Yu Churong. As her cousin's grand-niece, she would definitely marry into a good and wealthy family, and she would also be able to help the Wu'an Hou Mansion in the future.

Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, a flower turned into rotten tea residue.

If the Xie family took advantage of the situation and took in the two sisters together, one wife and one concubine, it would be a good result. In addition, Lu Wan had difficulties in having heirs, and the long-term relationship with the Xie family depended on Yu Churong.

Mrs. Xie sneered in her heart.

Think beautiful!
If someone like Yu Churong enters Jin Wenhou's mansion, he will definitely stir up trouble in the family, lead to the destruction of her only precious grandson, and even cause the Xie Mansion to be stabbed in the back.

Fortunately, she claimed to be from an orthodox and famous family, but her brain was so inoperable.

"Old sister, let the doctor come and take a look and talk about it. If it is framed, that is a different matter. Besides, the girl has been wronged, let alone the people who have made mistakes. What will happen to her in the future? Be the mistress of my palace."

Mrs. Xie had a smile on her face and spoke in a flawless manner.

Mrs. Lu was angry, shameless, and choked uncomfortably.

Mrs. Xie's voice changed: "When I entered the palace to meet the imperial concubine, I specially mentioned my elder sister's youngest son. Hasn't he been serving as magistrate of Qingzhou County? I have wronged him. After the New Year, I will find an opportunity to be transferred back to Bian. Jing, you have a son to show your respect to. Just give up on some unimportant people and things. There are always choices in everything, right?"

Mrs. Lu's heart moved when she heard this.

She fell in love with Jin Wenhou Mansion because of her relationship with the imperial concubine.

The miserable Yao'er had an accident and was demoted and exiled. Lu Wan and her mother had been ill for a long time, the old lady Qin left Bianjing, and all the adult men of the Qin family died in the war. It was hard to find help from the Qin family. Therefore, I hope that I can use the relationship between Jin Wenhou's mansion and the imperial concubine to get Yao'er back to Bianjing to take up a post.

"Hey, how will Rong'er behave in the future?" Madam Lu softened her tone, but she still felt that she was at a disadvantage.

Mrs. Xie smiled and said, "The Xie family will buy her a monastery in the nunnery, so that she can be raised until her death."
