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

Chapter 14 Marrying a Dead Man
Zhao Ruyi suddenly raised his head, was he giving up on Chu Rong?

"Two old ladies, Chu Rong is a young lady, how can we abandon her?" For the sake of his daughter, Zhao Ruyi didn't care much.

Xie Huaiyu was also anxious. Regardless of his father's murderous eyes, he knelt on the ground and said, "Grandma, Chu Rong is pitiful enough. My grandson cannot do such a thing of abandoning others!"

Lu Wan raised her eyebrows.

There was gold under the paint, and the man knelt down to the sky and his parents. Unexpectedly, Xie Huaiyu knelt twice for Yu Churong.

She was almost moved, but Xie Huaiyu in his previous life later took several beautiful concubines.

Mr. Xie was so angry that he wanted to kick him again. Mrs. Zeng had always been a coward, so she felt sorry for her son and knelt down to block him.

"Old Madam, Master, Jin Wenhou's Mansion is a noble family that has been established for a century, and will never do anything that would cause anyone to stab someone in the spine. What's more, Miss Yu is also Mrs. Lu's mother-in-law. She doesn't look at the face of a monk to see the face of a Buddha. My daughter-in-law Is there an idea to get the best of both worlds?"

Mrs. Xie frowned and had to act like a pregnant mother-in-law in front of the Lu family.

"You have always been kind. What good ideas can you tell me? But you must never let girl Wan suffer injustice." Mrs. Xie put on a posture of defending Lu Wan.

"Why don't we send her to Chengxian Zhuangzi, fifty miles away from Xie's house? The Lu family will ensure that she has no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life. From now on, she will not be allowed to step into Xie's house and disturb Wan'er's eyes, okay?"

Although Zhao Ruyi hated the Xie family for being cruel, she suddenly thought that as long as she could enter the Xie family, there would be a way to win over Xie Huaiyu's heart.

When her daughter becomes pregnant, Mrs. Xie will naturally change her mind. Just as she did at the beginning, wouldn't Mrs. Lu obediently take her back to the Marquis Mansion?
Zhao Ruyi agreed, "Yes, yes, let her join the Xie family, but she is not allowed to see the second young master Xie again."

Zeng looked at Lu Wan for help.

If word gets out in the future that her son takes someone else's body and abandons her immediately, he will also be stabbed in the spine. He will have a bad reputation and will hinder his career. But as long as you keep it, it will be fine. Just treat it like a small kitten.

Lu Wan looked at Mr. Zeng, who was holding back tears, with mixed feelings.

Mrs. Zeng also struggled in the Xie family. Like her mother, she was taken advantage of by her husband's family and had all her dowry confiscated. She was not liked by her husband and was even disliked by her mother-in-law. However, she gave everything she had for this son.

After she entered the house, she was left out and depressed, but Mrs. Zeng tried hard to make her happy.

Why do kind people always get no rewards?
But Lu Wan remained silent.

She knew clearly that one day, Yu Churong would be a stain on Old Madam Xie's direct grandson. If the Xie family didn't tolerate it, even if she was raised in the village, it would be easy to kill her.

Mrs. Xie is much more cruel and ruthless than her grandmother, so there is no need for her to take action.

When Mrs. Xie saw that there was no objection on Lu Wan's face, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't want her direct grandson's reputation to be ruined, let alone ruin the marriage between the two families. As for the ants, there were plenty of ways to kill her in the future.

Upon seeing this, Mrs. Lu knew that this was the best outcome. As for the future, it would all depend on Yu Churong's own fate.

"So be it. However, please give Chu Rong the lowest status after Wan'er and Mr. Xie get married. Otherwise, how can she survive in Zhuangzi?"

She didn't want Yu Churong to be embarrassed in the name of her mother's family, at least as a concubine.

Mrs. Xie looked unclear and said calmly, "That's natural. Everything depends on what Wan'er, the future head of the Xie family, decides."

"Grandma! She is so jealous that she will never tolerate Chu Rong. Doesn't this mean she is forcing Chu Rong to die?" Xie Huaiyu became anxious.

"Shut up! If you talk any more, she will be thrown into the pond!" Mrs. Xie shouted sternly, making Xie Huaiyu shrink his neck in fright.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on Lu Wan.

Mrs. Lu looked at Lu Wan with piercing eyes, "I believe that Wan'er can take on the role of the mistress of the Hou family. What's more, disobeying the holy order will also implicate the Duke of Qin's family. Wan'er is a sensible person and will think about it. The matter is serious.”

Oh, threatening her, right?
Being the matron of the house?

Holy command?

Yes, no one can disobey the Holy Order.

In her previous life, she endured everything alone, but she refused to ask her grandmother and uncle for help because she didn't want to cause trouble to her grandmother and younger uncle.

In this life, she doesn't want the news to get out and works hard to solve it herself.

The Dali Dynasty has always had the ultimate etiquette, especially for high-ranking families, in marriage matters, the parents' orders and the words of the matchmaker, the children have no right to be independent. She cried, made trouble, and hanged herself, which could only delay time. If the two families were to be reconciled, would she still have to marry into the Jin Wenhou Mansion?

Suddenly, an idea flashed through her mind.

Although it is a bit whimsical, it seems to be the only way at present.

The important thing is, how to convince two old guys who have their own hidden agendas?

Lu Wan made up her mind, stepped forward and said, "Can you allow me to have a few words with my grandmother? After all, I am the daughter of the Lu family and I have to obey my grandmother."

The old ladies from both families breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why not? It should be like this." Mrs. Xie said with a smile.

Mrs. Lu stood up and bowed, "Everyone, sit down for a moment. Aunt Wu, please quickly order a table of midnight snacks in the kitchen. Mrs. Xie must be hungry."

For a moment, everyone seemed to be happy, and the whole room became relaxed and happy, chatting happily about the wedding in the future, and there was no need to invite a doctor.

Lu Wan lowered her eyelids to cover up the coldness in her eyes, and helped Mrs. Lu alone to walk towards Xinuang Pavilion.

As soon as she entered the Nuan Pavilion, Lu Wan knelt down.

"Grandma, if we must marry Wan'er into the Xie Mansion, there are only two ways. One is to carry my body into the Xie Mansion, and the second way is for me to marry Xie Zhiyan, the legitimate son of Marquis Jin Wen's original wife."

Madam Lu was stunned for a moment, not understanding, "Prince Xie...he, isn't he dead?"

Lu Wan said firmly, "Yes, I just want to marry a dead man and be a widower!"

Lu Wan suddenly thought of Xie Zhiyan out of desperation.

If she wants to defeat the Xie and Lu families, she must have power in her hands.

The identity of the Crown Prince's wife is the best tool, not to mention that Xie's family room is the daughter of Mr. Xie's first wife, and is a thorn in the side of his step-sibling, Mrs. Xie.

The enemy of your enemy is your ally.

In my memory, Xie Zhiyan followed the emperor's secret order to secretly investigate the case of counterfeit military supplies. On his way back to Bianjing, he slipped and fell off a cliff. The Imperial City Department and the Lu Mansion, who were also investigating the case, sent people to search for more than three months, and finally found the man who had been killed in the wolf's den. Torn clothes and a pile of bones.

The Xie family could not hold a wedding in order to avoid a funeral, so they suppressed the news of his death and waited half a year after the wedding before holding Prince Xie's funeral.

Xie Zhiyan was the only great genius to achieve the rank of Sanyuan in the two hundred years since the founding of the Dali Dynasty. He entered the Imperial Academy at the age of seventeen and became an official for only seven years. He was promoted rapidly and was already in the fourth rank of Weiwei Siqing before the accident.

Because of his talent, he also taught the prince homework on weekdays, and the emperor specially named him the prince's young teacher.

She remembered that after the old Marquis passed away, Mrs. Xie didn't want to see the eldest family member. Except for the New Year and the 15th of the Lunar New Year, when they went to the ancestral hall to offer incense and worship to their ancestors, mother and son basically didn't interact with each other at other times.

When Xie Zhiyan was alive, the Xie Mansion relied on Crown Prince Xie to support its appearance, and Mrs. Xie did not dare to do anything to the eldest son. However, after Prince Xie passed away, he took advantage of Mrs. Xie's unwillingness to fight with others and quickly took control of the eldest son's financial power. From then on, the second son of the Xie family became the dominant one.

It was this step-sibling who truly became the powerful person in the Marquis Mansion of Jin Wen.

In this life, there is no love in my heart, my eyes are clear and my heart is clear.

She knew very well that there were many people in the court looking at Duke Qin's palace, especially the princes. Who didn't want to take advantage of Duke Qin's disciples all over the world?
She firmly believed that the Qin family had been loyal for generations and her uncle would never be treasonous.

The imperial concubine and her son must have failed to win over the Qin family, so they deliberately tried to get the Xie family to frame their uncle.

She wanted to find out all these things one by one and protect her grandmother and uncle from worries.

If Xie Zhiyan died in the line of duty, he might be favored by the emperor. At this time, neither the Xie Lu family nor the imperial concubine could object.

The more Lu Wan thought about it, the more she felt that this was a good marriage, and she could use the skin of a dead man as a banner.

Now, Grandma must be convinced to support her.

Let two old pious women fight in the ring!
