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

Chapter 219 Ruining the place

In order to save face, the Lu family decorated the new house as much as possible after moving into it, hung up the plaque of Wu'an Marquis Mansion again, and chose an auspicious day to hold a grand housewarming banquet.

Lu Shanyuan was very generous. He used gold foil invitations to each household, which were luxurious and grand. Moreover, he gave each family custom-made cakes from Yudiefang, the most expensive shop in the capital, with the name of each family printed on the cakes.

It would be bad to be ungrateful if I accepted such an invitation.

After all, the Marquis is still there, and the network of relationships among the nobles is still there. Even if the head of the family does not come, the family will send their legitimate sons and their families to participate.

Xia Jianglian and Lu Shanyuan happily welcomed the guests in person at the gate. When they saw the bustling scene of traffic in front of the gate again, they were so moved that they wanted to cry.

"Thanks to the Marquis for getting 100,000 taels of silver, we can hold this banquet in a decent manner." Xia Jianglian smiled like a flower, feeling happy as she looked at the handsome Marquis.

She was thinking that the Wu'an Marquis Mansion was a century-old wealthy family, and with her blessing it would surely become popular again.

Look, the Marquis got back 100,000 taels of silver in one go, which shows that he is still very capable.

Lu Shanyuan felt proud: "On weekdays, it is Madam who takes out money to support the family, and as a husband, I should share some of the burden with Madam."

Feeling the admiration from his legal wife for the first time, Lu Shanyuan spoke to Xia Jianglian with a little more intimacy.

"The cooperation between your father and I is going smoothly. From now on, our mansion will not lack money. I will not let you suffer any grievances. I will make sure you become the wife of the marquis with honor."

Xia Jianglian felt warm in her heart, and her smile was more charming and gentle: "My husband, what are you talking about? Husband and wife are one, there is no need to separate each other..."

Suddenly, a commotion interrupted Xia Jianglian's words. The two looked up and saw a very luxurious carriage slowly driving in. On the carriage hung a pair of dazzling colorful glazed lanterns with two golden characters inlaid on them: Qin Mansion.

The guests around saw this and started to talk in a whisper.

"Qin Mansion? Which Qin Mansion? Look at this carriage, it's so gorgeous."

"Could it be Duke Qin's Qin Mansion?"

"Ah, yes, the eldest daughter of the Lu family changed her surname to Qin, but didn't she break up with the Lu family?"

"Now there's something good to watch."

"Why is she here?" Xia Jianglian exclaimed, her expression suddenly becoming nervous.

Lu Shanyuan's face darkened: "Stop her quickly!"

The butler quickly took his men to run over and stop the carriage, and saw that the driver was Fuxiao.

Seeing that it was an acquaintance, the housekeeper quickly lowered his voice and said, "Miss Fuxiao, there is a young lady in the car..."

Fuxiao said with a straight face: "The person in the car is the wife of the Marquis of Wenjin."

The housekeeper looked embarrassed, and ran to the car window and lowered his voice: "Thank you, Madam, my master has many guests today. Madam, why don't you come at another time to save everyone from embarrassment?"

Qin Wan lifted the car curtain and said, "I'm here to give you a gift. Do you think I'm going to chase you away?"

A gift? Who would believe that?

The housekeeper thought that this crazy girl would not give up until she achieved her goal.

He did not dare to let anyone pass, so he could only order the people around him: "Hurry and report to the Marquis that the wife of the Marquis of Jinwen is here to give a gift."

How could Lu Shanyuan believe that his unfilial daughter would come to give him gifts?

But the guests bustling in front of the door were all watching the fun. The unfilial daughter was just a lunatic. If she said something in public, all the painstaking efforts for the housewarming banquet would be in vain.

Lu Shanyuan said coldly: "Let her go in through the side door and take her to the side hall to wait. Don't let her disturb the guests."

When the housekeeper heard the message, he thought to himself that it was not good and she would definitely make a fuss.

Unexpectedly, Qin Wan said, "Okay, just open the side door and let me in."

The housekeeper was overjoyed, and personally led the carriage into the side door, saying with a smile: "Madam, I'm sorry, our house is small, and the carriage can't enter through the second door. I have to ask you to get off the carriage and walk in yourself."

Qin Wan smiled and got off the carriage.

"Take the prince's wife to the west hall." The housekeeper whispered to the maid beside him.

The maid naturally understood what she said: "Yes."

"housekeeper."

The housekeeper was about to leave when he heard Qin Wan calling him. His scalp went numb. As expected...

"I want to see Jiang Furong."

The housekeeper's face changed drastically: "Madam, the Crown Prince..."

Before he could finish his words, the dagger was already against his neck. Dawn said coldly: “Stop talking nonsense!”

One of the sisters Lu Zhu held a horse whip, and the other held a double stick. The maids and servants beside them were so scared that they dared not say a word.

Qin Wan had no intention of dawdling when she came here tonight.

This gift was given by Jiang Furong to the Lu family.

She knew Jiang Furong's situation very well, but she had never come to see in person what she had become.

The housekeeper had seen how ruthless the girl was, and her life was at stake under the sharp edge of a knife. Jiang Furong was locked up in the northwest corner courtyard, with two strong men guarding the door.

The housekeeper explained carefully, "Madam, Jiang Furong is served by Nanny He herself. The people in the Lu residence never ask about it. The people guarding the door just don't let them come out to cause trouble."

Qin Wan arranged for Nanny He to serve Jiang Furong, and how she served her and what she ate every day.

Xia Jianglian didn't bother to care. Anyway, Jiang Furong's food was delivered directly to Nanny He by Qin Wan. If she wanted something done, she would just give her the money and ask the kitchen to make it.

After observing for a while, Xia Jianglian understood what was going on.

She was actually happy not to interfere. Since Qin Wan wanted her to keep her life so that she could take revenge, then she would keep her life. She would kill her when Qin Wan had had enough fun, so that the rumor would not spread that she, as the mistress, killed the concubine.

Besides, that girl is the Marquis' sweetheart and is pregnant. If the Marquis thinks of her again one day, she will have a hard time explaining herself.

Qin Wan signaled to Fuxiao to release the housekeeper.

Dawn hesitated slightly.

"It doesn't matter. Doesn't the Lu family know that I'm here?"

The man was released at dawn, and the housekeeper quickly ran away with the maids and servants.

After Qin Wan entered, she met Nanny He who was about to enter the house with a bowl of pork elbow.

Seeing Qin Wan coming in with a group of people, Nanny He hurried forward to pay her respects.

"This servant has met Miss Qin."

"Well, are you serving me well?"

"Everyone serves according to Miss Qin's instructions. There are five meals a day, and every meal is fish, shrimp and meat."

When Nanny He saw her trying to go in, she hurriedly said, "Miss Qin, the smell in there is a bit strong."

Qin Wan looked at her in surprise.

"The toilet is also in there." Nanny He smiled flatteringly, "She must live a fulfilling life."

Qin Wan pursed her lips and smiled: "You are really amazing."

"I only listen to Miss Qin." Nanny He smiled in a servile manner.

As she walked forward, Nanny He hurried to push the door open, and an unpleasant smell hit her nose.

Qin Wan didn't want to put herself in a difficult position, so she immediately retreated to the yard and said, "Bring him out."

Nanny He went in and dragged the person out.

Qin Wan almost didn't recognize her at first glance.

The once exquisite and beautiful Jiang Furong had gained a lot of weight, now had a chicken coop on her head and a fat belly that could hardly be covered by her tattered clothes.

Considering the time, she is only three months pregnant. Even if her belly is obviously pregnant, it is not this big. Is the fat in her belly caused by eating too much?
She stared at Qin Wan in a daze, and after a long while she suddenly woke up: "Bitch!"

He rushed towards Qin Wan while cursing, but Fuxiao stepped forward and kicked him away, then stepped on him.

The two old women who were guarding the area also came up quickly and held the man down on both sides.

They all recognized the eldest girl, and even if they had a falling out, she was still the master.

Madam He immediately boasted: "All the food for the day was stuffed in, and there was also ginseng soup hanging. Incense was also lit every day."

Jiang Furong's eyes could kill Nanny He.

Qin Wan sneered: "I sent you back to Lu Shanyuan, thinking that he would love you like before, but I didn't expect you to become so sloppy? As expected, beauty is cultivated with money. Now that you are like this, Lu Shanyuan will naturally not love you anymore."

"you……"

Bah!
Fuxiao raised his foot and kicked her in the face: "You can only speak when I tell you to!"

"It seems that the food prepared by Madam He is good. These are the foods you prepared for my mother back then. Are they delicious?"

Jiang Furong's face was pressed down by the fat old woman, so she couldn't speak at all. Her vicious eyes stared at Qin Wan.

"You want to know why I'm here today?" Qin Wan smiled and said, "I'm here to invite you out to a banquet."

The smile faded, and he said calmly: "If she goes out like this, she will offend the guests. Clean her face and hair and change into clean clothes."

"Yes."

Nanny He and the two maids quickly washed Jiang Furong's face. They were too lazy to wash her hair, so they used a comb to shave off her tangled hair, piled it neatly on top of her head, and tied it up with a cloth.

Jiang Furong almost fainted from the pain and lost several clumps of her hair.

Since there were no clothes that fit her, Nanny He took out one of her old clothes and put them on her.

After getting dressed, she looked even more bloated and old-fashioned than Nanny He.

"Very good. Let's go."

Qin Wan smiled.
