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

Chapter 142 Xia Jianglian’s temptation
Lu Wan originally wanted to go back to Yuyi Pavilion to change before meeting Xia Jianglian, but she didn't expect that she would be waiting for her at Yuyi Pavilion.

"Girl, the servants can't stop you. Your mama was pulled by the eldest lady's steward again and asked to check the accounts." Shuyu looked nervous and lowered his voice.

"Where is she?"

"In the flower hall."

"Didn't you go anywhere else?"

"No."

"That's okay." Lu Wan reassured Shuyu, "Let's serve tea."

"Yes."

When Lu Wan entered, she saw Xia Jianglian looking at a portrait of Lu Wan's mother.

Hearing the voice, he turned around and looked at Lu Wan with a smile.

Lu Wan stepped forward and said, "I wonder what the eldest lady's orders are for looking for me so urgently?"

Xia Jianglian quickly grabbed her and said, "You don't have to salute me anymore. Don't give me any orders. Mother and daughter have never had time to talk properly."

Lu Wan was held by her hand, and the intimacy made her skin crawl.

She admitted that she wanted to find a suitable stepmother in order to completely stop Meng Ruyi from thinking about getting married, and at the same time let her deal with Meng Ruyi.

Because the Xia family was rich, it was possible to convince their grandmother and father to agree to marry their stepmother.

However, Xia Jianglian is a smart person. Now that she has married in, she is one with the Lu family.

What's more, my father and Mr. Xia wore the same pair of pants.

Lu Wan casually took out her hand and said politely: "Madam, please sit down."

Xia Jianglian was a little embarrassed, but quickly returned to normal and sat down with a smile.

Shuyu serves refreshments.

"Your mother left you all priceless items." Xia Jianglian looked around.

"My maternal grandparents only had a daughter, and my brothers at home also loved my mother very much, so the dowry was very generous."

Lu Wan smiled: "The eldest lady must know that this house also belongs to my mother."

Xia Jianglian nodded: "It shows that your mother loves your father very much and is devoted to the Lu family's plans."

Lu Wan lowered her head slightly, adjusted her sleeves, and said casually: "I just raised a bunch of white-eyed wolves."

Xia Jianglian couldn't hold back her smile.

In the past few days, she had inquired about many things, some even shocking.

For example, how Meng Ruyi climbed into bed, and how she used incense to instigate her daughter to steal Lu Wan's husband.

It was also said that Qin fell ill before giving birth and delayed the delivery until she died of dystocia.

The servants were very cryptic when they said this, as if they didn't want to say something, which really made people think.

But she also heard that the Marquis and Meng Ruyi had a deep relationship, and the Marquis actually ignored the Qin family for Meng Ruyi.

Xia Jianglian looked at Mrs. Qin's portrait: "Your mother was born extremely beautiful."

Lu Wan looked up at the portrait of her mother: "Fortunately, I look like my mother."

Xia Jianglian was stunned. She no longer concealed her disgust for the Lu family.

Lu Wan turned to look at her: "Madam, you are a sensible and straightforward person. Why do you want me? Why don't you be honest?"

Xia Jianglian no longer dared to regard Lu Wan as a little girl: "The girl is also cheerful. Jiang Lian likes you very much."

This attitude is to give face like a peer.

Lu Wan smiled: "Madam, please speak. Lu Wan is all ears."

"How about selling this house to me for twice the money? After all, the Lu family will live in it in the future."

Lu Wan raised her eyebrows, not expecting that she planned to buy the house.

"I don't know if the eldest lady wants to record it in her own name when she buys it, or if it belongs to the Lu family."

"Of course it belongs to the Lu Mansion. After all, the Lu family's ancestors all live here, so what's the point of having it recorded in my name?" Xia Jianglian smiled.

This statement has several meanings. Lu Wan understood that she wanted to use this matter to completely win over her father.

However, this is the Qin family's house, how can it be defiled by a group of hungry wolves like the Lu family?
"I'm sorry, this house cannot be sold. It is a property given to my mother by my maternal grandfather's family, and it is also my mother's inheritance. I grew up here and it is my miss."

Xia Jianglian's smile froze.

She originally planned to take the house and give it to her husband, who would be impressed by her, but she didn't expect Lu Wan to reject it so simply and not give her any face.

"Then...does the girl want the Lu family to move out?" she asked tentatively.

Lu Wan smiled slightly: "What do you think, madam?"

Xia Jianglian's smile completely faded.

Although she originally planned to buy another big house, she also asked her father to find someone to find out if there was a better house than this one. Firstly, there was no one that was particularly good and suitable. Secondly, the Lu family had to move out and their face would be lost.

"Wan'er, we are all a family. Some things go too far and it is unnecessary." Xia Jianglian advised kindly.

"The hatred of killing one's mother is irreconcilable." Lu Wan said with a smile.

Xia Jianglian was stunned and quickly lowered her voice: "Are you sure your mother was killed?"

"The truth can never be false." Lu Wan's eyes were calm, making Xia Jianglian feel that there was another person living in her body.

Xia Jianglian refused to give up: "Meng Ruyi is just a concubine. She can be killed by her master. For her, a bitch, why do you have to break up with your blood relatives?"

"Can you try to see if you can kill her?"

Lu Wan was amused, "I remind Madam, if we investigate, she is still an official slave. An official slave is not an ordinary slave. I wonder how much you know about the Xu family case? There are many rumors about this case in Bianjing City. Jiang Although they belong to the wife family of the Xu family, they are also very close relatives."

Xia Jianglian became serious: "You are right to remind me."

After all, she was born as a merchant, and she was not familiar with the laws of this kind of court.

What's more...

After Meng Ruyi's bitch son disappeared that day, the Marquis actually began to feel compassion for her again. He stayed at her place for the past two nights and discussed with her early this morning to give her a better yard to live in. .

What a fox!

Xia Jianglian couldn't sit still anymore and stood up and glanced at Lu Wan: "Good boy, since I have become your stepmother, I should love you and protect you. But the Lu family has lived here for a long time, if they move out immediately , It’s a disgrace. Do you think you’d like to wait for me for a while while I find a better house and let the Lu family move out?”

Lu Wan smiled: "Let's see what happens to the Lu family."

This is hard to say.

Xia Jianglian understood.

I want to see if the Lu family will act like monsters again.

But the Lu family is also her Xia Jianglian's face. She has tried her best to marry a marquis, but she hasn't received the royal decree yet.

Therefore, she must try her best to protect the Lu family's face.

"Don't worry, I will take a good look at the Lu family."

Lu Wan nodded and said no more.

As soon as they left, Zhiruo quickly changed Lu Wan's clothes.

"What is this man thinking? How dare he ask to buy this place. This is the main residence of our Qin family in the capital." Zhiruo was indignant.

"Everyone has their own position. She, Xia Jianglian, just wants to be a glamorous marquise."

After putting on comfortable clothes, I saw that the sky was a little dark and dark, and I seemed to smell the smell of snow.

Lu Wan looked at the sky: "It looks like it's going to snow heavily."

"No. It's really cold this year." Zhiruo heated up the charcoal stove.

Yes, the new year will be over in two days.

I wonder if Yan Yunhe can surprise her during the bustling New Year's Eve?

How about going to the Imperial City Division in person tomorrow?

Has Xiong Gou been interrogated?
Can Yu Xiuyan write a beautiful article?
Lu Wan had some expectations. This new year was going to be lively.

Updated in the early morning, do you have any tickets?
