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

Chapter 192 Xie Mansion’s secretive secrets
Qin Wan took the shocked Tang family on her arm and went all the way to the ancestral hall of Jin Wenhou Mansion.

"Wan'er, are you really not afraid of offending Mrs. Xie? No one in the entire Xie family is afraid of her."

Mrs. Tang was really surprised. The new daughter-in-law dared to directly contradict the old lady, and even dared to say to her face that she wanted to pay homage to her first wife, the old lady. Wasn't this just putting Mrs. Lu's face in the mud?
"I do things according to the rules, why are I afraid of her?" Qin Wan took six sticks of incense and handed three to Tang with both hands.

She smiled sweetly: "My mother is not afraid of her either, and my daughter-in-law is even less afraid if she has her mother's support."

Mrs. Tang was happy, and the two of them lit incense by candlesticks and smiled: "You know I'm not afraid of her?"

"Of course my daughter-in-law knows. Mother, you are from the Tang family, a noble family in Chengdu Prefecture. You were also a famous and talented woman back then. You just don't bother to talk to them."

Tang was stunned: "You gave such clear guidance?"

Qin Wan smiled and nodded: "Of course, you are my mother-in-law."

In her previous life, Mrs. Xie tried her best to seize the throne, and did not fail to embarrass Mrs. Tang. Mrs. Tang was neither humble nor arrogant, and she was a serious Marquis. No matter how much Mrs. Xie did, she would not go too far.

Later, the Lu family relied on Qin Wan's dowry to persuade some officials to help negotiate, and sent several priceless items to Marquis Wenxin, and finally passed Xie Zhiyan's crown prince position to Xie Huaiyu.

But Tang seemed to be indifferent and didn't care about these empty titles. No matter how difficult it was for Lu, she remained calm and transparent, guarding her own land, and finally left the Xie Mansion in a cool way.

The more Mrs. Tang looked at her daughter-in-law, the more she liked her. She was like a daughter-in-law. She was like a fairy descending from the earth.

After the two kowtowed to their ancestors, Mrs. Tang took her to the memorial tablet of her first wife, Mrs. Xie, and couldn't help but choke up.

"Mother, your granddaughter-in-law has come to offer you incense."

Qin Wan kowtowed solemnly to the spiritual tablet.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law came out of the ancestral hall and talked about the past of the original wife. Only then did Qin Wan realize that the original wife died in a miserable way.

The Tang family was engaged to Xie Zhiyan's father, Wen Jinhou, since they were young. The two families had a very good relationship. The old lady was in poor health. She often came to Xie's house to accompany the old lady, so she knew some inside stories.

The original wife, the old lady, was the legitimate daughter of the Kong family, a great Confucian family in Chengdu Prefecture, and she married into Bianjing with a lot of red makeup.

Xie Zhiyan was injured when giving birth to his father, so in order to provide the old marquis with more children, he took the initiative to take in two good concubines.

The original wife, the old lady, never recovered from her illness, and she still worked hard to manage the internal and external affairs of the Hou Mansion. She fell ill in bed at the age of thirty.

At that time, Lu Jinshu hooked up with the old marquis when Mrs. Wenxinhou visited the old lady. Later, she shamelessly took advantage of the Lu family's influence and went in and out of Jinwenhou's house alone all day long, even having sex in front of the old lady. People's eyebrows came and went, and the old lady was so angry that she vomited blood and lingered on the bed. Her hair turned gray at a young age.

Seeing that the old lady's health was failing and Mrs. Lu was about to become a stepmother, the two concubines immediately switched sides and sided with Mrs. Lu.

Soon, the old lady passed away. At that time, the Marquis was only twelve years old. Fortunately, he had been named the Crown Prince at that time.

Just three months after the old lady passed away, Mr. Lu came in, and less than six months later, he gave birth to Mr. Xie.

At that time, the Marquis was very angry and wanted to write a letter to beg His Majesty for justice.

But Ms. Lu, wearing her dowry, hanged herself in the main courtyard and threatened the Marquis. Marquis Wenxin went to the house in person to put pressure on the Marquis. The Marquis was so angry that he gave him family laws and beat him until he was bedridden for half a day. months.

When the Marquis was eighteen years old, the Tang family married into the Hou Mansion. The Lu family had already taken control of the general affairs of the Xie Mansion and returned all the old lady's dowry to the father-in-law. The Second Master Xie was only six years old.

The Marquis had just entered the officialdom. In order to maintain the reputation of the Marquis, he chose to tolerate it.

Lu's ambition was obvious, and the old Marquis was controlled by her and wanted to give the crown prince to her biological son.

Fortunately, the Marquis worked hard on his own and made outstanding achievements in the court. He reached the position of Minister of Household Affairs and won the trust of His Majesty.

After the death of the old Marquis, the Marquis took advantage of the opportunity to seize the title. The Tang family had already given birth to Xie Zhiyan, and asked him to make his son the heir apparent.

Because of this, Ms. Lu was so angry that she couldn't eat for several days.

Tang choked up: "Mr. Hou has always been in good health. That year there was an epidemic in Bianjing. Mr. Hou personally went to the Huimin Office to see the patients, and everyone who came back got sick. At that time, Mrs. Lu said to prevent infection, and ordered us to The long house was sealed and no entry or exit was allowed, and the doctor was not allowed to come in. Zi Che was in Qiongzhou at the time, and I couldn't deliver the letter. The Marquis didn't make it... When he died, Xie Zhiyan happened to be out of town investigating the case, and he rushed all night in the rain. When I came back, I was covered in mud and my arms were broken. I cried hoarsely on my father's body. "

"It's all my fault, it's all my fault..." Tang said and started to cry.

Qin Wan gently stroked her back and comforted her softly, feeling a chill in her heart.

This kind of aristocratic family is glorious on the outside, but in fact it is full of filth and sinisterness.

Lu Jinshu, would an ambitious person like her...

Qin Wan's eyes were cold.

"Mother, if we want to take back everything that belongs to us, we can't take advantage of those vicious people!"

Tang stopped her tears: "Wan'er..."

Qin Wan held her hand: "Mother, the softer we are and the more we give in, the more evil people will advance. If we don't fight, evil will gain the upper hand. This is not fair. Unjust things must be brought into order."

Tang's eyes heated up: "Good boy, if you want to do it, mother will support you. Mother will be with you."

Qin Wan smiled firmly: "Okay! We will take back everything that belongs to us."

No way those bastards are cheap!

"Well, I will definitely help Zi Che when he comes back..." Tang murmured excitedly, but was immediately blocked by Qin Wan's strange expression.

Pointing to the sky in embarrassment: "Zi Che's spirit in heaven will also help us."

Qin Wan apologized and smiled: "Yeah."

……

Xie Zhiyan lay on the bed and listened to Qing Ming talking about Zui Jiangyue's shopkeeper Jiaxing who found the person in the house's name and said he wanted to buy the house.

"Okay, just say sell it to her."

"Master, how much silver is that?"

"Ten thousand, maybe."

"Ah!" Qing Ming's eyes widened, "Sir, we bought that house for 100,000 taels. How many people were fighting for it at that time? We sold it for 10,000 taels... oops!"

Qing Ming rubbed the back of his head and glared at Cang Lang behind him: "Why are you beating me?"

"Because you are stupid."

"Am I stupid?" Qing Ming pointed at his nose with wide eyes. He was the smartest person around me, right?

"Let's do it." Xie Zhiyan was helpless, but he didn't expect that the twenty-nine sticks would make him unable to get out of bed for several days.

"Master, isn't it too cheap?" Qing Ming's mind was filled with money.

Qing Ming was kicked in the butt by Cang Lang: "I'm selling my house to my wife, how much money do you want?"

Qing Ming regained consciousness and slapped the melon seeds hard, "Ah, that's right."

Qin Wan heard the news from Mingxiao that Jiaxing bought the house for ten thousand taels, and her eyes widened in shock, "Why is it so cheap? Is there something wrong?"

Liming shook his head: "Jiaxing said that the other party was eager to get rid of him because he liked gambling and was short of money."

"A good gamble?" Qin Wan frowned, "It's better to find out, but if there is any situation, it will be troublesome even if it is involved in a murder case."

"Yes. I'll check it out right now."
