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

Chapter 242 Cleaning up the portal
Zeng looked at Old Madam Xie nervously, her eyes full of disgust.

Zeng was even more afraid to make the decision, and lowered her voice: "Please let mother make the decision."

"You can't hurt me like this!" He Jinhua noticed that Mrs. Xie seemed reluctant, so she jumped up immediately.

"How dare you!" Old Madam Xie shouted angrily.

He Jinhua saw that she looked down on her, and she was furious and anxious. She didn't care that her skirt was sticking to her body, she tore off her coat, rushed forward and hooked Xie Huaiyu's arm: "He has seen me, touched me, and you want to destroy the bridge after crossing it! Impossible! You asked me to seduce him..."

"Shut up!" Aunt Lu rushed up and slapped He Jinhua in the face.

"Bitch, you still want to bite the legitimate son of the Xie family!"

With a crisp snap.

He Jinhua covered her face with one hand and widened her eyes, a look of disbelief: "How dare you, a lowly slave, hit me! You are such a rebel!"

Xie Huaiyu was as angry as if he had been slapped in the face. He pushed He Jinhua's hand away and held Aunt Lu's arm: "He Jinhua! How dare you speak rudely to my mother... Aunt Lu! She is not a servant!"

Zeng was stunned, staring at the son she had raised with all her heart and soul.

Why is he so close to Aunt Lu?

She was usually scolded by Old Madam Xie, but Xie Huaiyu never defended her.

Even when she was wronged and complained to her son, her son never comforted her. Instead, he asked her to respect his mother-in-law.

Even when Aunt Lu secretly bullied her and withheld her expenses, her son would speak up for Aunt Lu and didn't feel sorry for himself at all.

Zeng's heart seemed to be dug out and it hurt.

The word "slave" immediately angered Aunt Lu. No matter how low her status was, she was from the Lu family.

Who the He family is!
Aunt Lu was so angry that she was shaking and she pointed at He Jinhua's nose and cursed.

"I am the descendant of Marquis Wenxin Lu. How dare you, a filthy thing from a small family, call me a slave? If you dare to covet the second son of the legitimate family, I will teach you a lesson on behalf of the old lady!"

Madam Xie's face darkened. What the hell?
You want to use Lu's family to pressure her, right?
She immediately glanced at the nanny beside her.

Aunt Lu rushed forward and was about to hit someone, but two maids rushed over and held her on both sides.

Madam Xie was extremely angry.

They have forgotten what they are here for today, and they are all biting their own family members!
Madam Xie didn't want Qin Wan and Xie Zhiyan to laugh at her, so she immediately ordered, "He Jinhua, go back first, and let us discuss it later."

Qin Wan curled her lips and smiled faintly.

They are really blood relatives. One pushes and the other refuses. Everyone knows what kind of people their own family members are.

For the sake of profit, anyone can disregard the feelings and reputation of the person involved.

He Jinhua obviously didn't expect this would be the end of her.

She fell to her knees and clutched the old lady's sleeve pleadingly.

But the old lady just turned her face away.

He Jinhua saw that neither Xie Huaiyu nor Xie Zhiyan was willing to take responsibility for her, and even old lady Xie, who asked her to set up the plan, ignored her.

She gritted her teeth, cried and wanted to bang her head against the pillar to prove her innocence by dying.

The old women and maids rushed to hold them back and tried to dissuade them.

He Jinhua broke down and burst into tears.

For a moment, everyone in the house was in chaos.

Old Madam Xie was forced into a dilemma and had to look at Zeng: "Wife, you are the most understanding of justice. What do you think we should do about this?"

It is impossible for Zeng to ignore her son's future, so she must take the blame.

Zeng is honest and straightforward, but not stupid.

She glanced at Old Madam Xie, and then at her most beloved son whose hand was always around Aunt Lu's. That was the treatment she had never received from her son.

She really loved such a son in vain.

It was as if she was raising a son for someone else.

She took a deep breath and said slowly, "Mrs. Lu is in charge of the Second House on behalf of my mother. I can only obey orders and dare not overstep my authority."

Seeing He Jinhua crying, he couldn't help but shake his head: "Alas, this child is also unfortunate. If Wen Yuan insists on not taking responsibility, she can only prove her innocence with death! The old lady will definitely feel sorry for her, right? After all, she is from my mother's family. She should be more noble than Aunt Lu."

Qin Wan raised her eyebrows.

Zeng suddenly became enlightened and could speak?
Qin Wan felt sorry for Zeng. After all, Zeng had treated her quite well in her previous life.

She smiled, "But once Miss He dies, Mr. Xie will be branded as a man who has abandoned his wife time and again. No noble lady from a wealthy family will be willing to marry him. Could it be that the old lady and Aunt Lu want Mr. Xie to be ignored and his future ruined? Alas, Miss He is so pitiful, being abandoned."

Zeng looked at Xie Huaiyu, and he subconsciously clenched his fists.

Her heart ached even more.

The old lady and Aunt Lu seemed to be doing good for him, but who really did it for him? However, she really did do good for him, but he didn't appreciate it.

When He Jinhua heard this, she couldn't help bursting into tears and started to bang her head against the pillar.

"Drag her back!" Old Madam Xie was furious.

Nothing can be accomplished today, but we can’t let Qin Wan sow discord.

"Wait a minute."

Qin Wan raised her hand, and Fuxiao and the others immediately stopped the people who wanted to take He Jinhua away.

Madam Xie: "What do you want to do?"

Qin Wan raised her eyebrows and smiled brightly: "The Jin Wenhou Mansion has been in chaos for decades. It's a good opportunity for everyone to get together today to rectify the atmosphere in the Jin Wenhou Mansion. Otherwise, it will affect our prince's inheritance of the title, which would be bad."

Xie Zhiyan looked at the girl's flower-like smile and his eyes softened.

Qin Wan blinked at him: "Husband, don't you think so?"

Xie Zhiyan held her hand and said, "Madam is absolutely right. It's time to rectify the family tradition."

Madam Xie looked extremely unhappy: "What do you want to do!"

Zeng felt that Qin Wan wanted to help her, so she hurried over and whispered, "Wan'er, too many things happened today. Let's talk about it after we have sorted out the family tradition. The old lady's waist is also injured, so let her go back and rest first."

Qin Wan glanced at her and said, "Second Madam, you are the one who has contributed the most in this mansion, and you are the kindest. But you are also the least respected, and you are also the most wronged."

Zeng's eyes suddenly turned red.

I didn't expect that the person who knows me best and understands me the best is Qin Wan.

Aunt Lu saw that Old Madam Xie was about to die of rage. She glanced at Zeng and said sarcastically, "Qin Wan, you always like to disobey your elders. In this mansion, the old lady has the final say."

Qin Wan glared at her: "You are the least qualified person to speak here. You are not even as good as my first-class maid."

These two sentences immediately ignited Aunt Lu's anger. She had endured it for so many years.

"Qin Wan! What did you say!?"

"How dare you contradict the Crown Prince's wife? Slap me in the face!" Xie Zhiyan said calmly.

Fuxiao walked forward, grabbed Aunt Lu's arm and dragged her out of the crowd, about ten feet away like she was carrying garbage, then raised his arm and slapped her a dozen times.

She was beaten so hard that she couldn't even scream.

Xie Huaiyu's eyes turned red, and he could no longer bear it and rushed forward to save people. Fuxiao slapped him in the face and kicked him.

Xie Huaiyu felt a piercing pain in his stomach from being kicked.

Zeng felt distressed when she saw that his face turned pale from being kicked, but her own heart was also deeply hurt, so she just stood there and didn't help him.

Qin Wan raised her hand.

Luzhu and Hongzhu led a group of servants to bring over a few chairs.

Xie Zhiyan said to his mother kindly, "Mom, please sit down."

Qin Wan pointed at the chairs and said, "Old Madam, Second Madam, please take a seat."

When Mrs. Xie saw Aunt Lu who was beaten like a pig and spitting blood, she shuddered all over and subconsciously walked over to sit down.

Then he felt something was wrong and glared at them: “How dare you!”

"Of course they can be as unrestrained as they want." Tang, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.

She met Old Madam Xie's gaze coldly: "I am the head of the Jin Wenhou Mansion. My son is the crown prince and will soon become the Jin Wenhou. If any of you do not want to obey the orders of my mother, son and my wife, then please get out of the Jin Wenhou Mansion!"

“You…” Old Madam Xie was furious.

"How dare you disrespect the wife of Marquis Wen of Jin and slap her in the face!"

Xie Zhiyan's cold voice was heard, and Zeng hurriedly smiled and pressed Madam Xie to sit down.

"Madam, the Marquis's wife and the prince are worried that you will get tired from standing. Please sit down first."

Snapped!
Old Madam Xie was so angry that she had no place to vent her anger, so she waved her hand and slapped Zeng in the face.

This slap stunned everyone present.

Zeng's eyes widened.

In front of so many people, and in front of so many servants from the two mansions, Old Madam Xie actually instigated her?
Besides, she did nothing wrong and she was so filial to the old lady.

He was so filial that all her dowry went into her pocket.

She looked at Xie Huaiyu with tears in her eyes, and unexpectedly saw disgust in his eyes.

She froze.
