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

Chapter 31 Heart-killing
After a while, Zhao Ruyi and Lu Shanyuan came together. The two of them walked in tandem, talking and laughing, creating a scene of a husband singing and a wife accompanying her.

Madam Lu said with a cold face, "Aren't you going to go out for business? Why didn't you go?"

Lu Shanyuan coughed, "It's not a big deal. It's the same if I go later."

Zhao Ruyi said softly, "The Marquis heard that the eldest lady had some misunderstandings, so he came here to take a look, so as not to make the old lady angry."

Lu Wan was staring at the ticket pawn matter, so she naturally wanted to grab Lu Shanyuan and come with her.

In front of her father, Lu Wan would not dare to settle the score openly. After all, her father had approved the pawning of the jewelry.

Mrs. Lu was so angry that she grabbed the blue and white porcelain tea cup and smashed it at her feet. There was a loud bang, the porcelain pieces and tea splashed, and Zhao Ruyi's skirt and embroidered shoes were all wet.

"Your Majesty!"

Zhao Ruyi's eyes welled up with tears. She bit her lip to endure her grievance. She lifted her skirt and knelt down on the ground covered with broken porcelain pieces.

Lu Shanyuan grabbed her and said, "Mother, please listen to my explanation."

"Explain what? Do you know why I am angry? Do you want to defend her?" Mrs. Lu shouted angrily.

The vixen must have given him some ecstasy soup.

"Isn't it just a few things that were pawned? Mother, in addition to being pawned to supplement the family's income, I also gave some to Lord Shangshu and Madam Shangshu." Lu Shanyuan looked indifferent.

In just one sentence, you pawned your mother's dowry privately?

Lu Wan's eyes were quenched, and ruthless men were the most hateful.

Lu Shanyuan looked at the second and third brother-in-law, "It's not because of the official positions of the second and third brothers. I don't have much ability. If I don't rely on me to establish a good relationship with my boss, will I always be a casual official with no rank and no salary?" Now, don’t we both rely on the Hou Mansion to support us? Why are we so ignorant?”

Bao Yunhua and Cao Wenhui were said to be a bit dumb.

But Bao Yunhua was still angry because the usury money was given by her in real money.

"However, my cousin is responsible for contacting usury money. How can we explain the wrong interest rate? That is my dowry money, so I can't let people cheat on me for no reason."

"I also followed three hundred taels, which is all my savings." Cao Wenhui hummed softly.

"Usury? You still dare to usury!" Lu Shanyuan was shocked.

Didn't it mean that Lu Wan found out that Qin's dowry had been pawned?
Usury is a big deal!
He turned to look at Zhao Ruyi, "Did you hold the string?"

Zhao Ruyi looked at the old lady aggrievedly, "It's the old lady..."

Lu Shanyuan looked at the old lady in disbelief, "Mother, did you put usury money? Do you know that being caught is a big deal. If you don't do it well, your son's official career will be over!"

Mrs. Lu became angry when her son questioned her in public, "The huge Marquis Mansion has such huge expenses, how can any of your four families make money back? If you don't uphold your dignity, can your daughter marry a good family and your son marry a good wife? What if?" The Hou Mansion cannot make ends meet, and I don't think of a way to make a living, so you go drink the northwest wind!"

Lu Shanyuan was scolded so much that he shrank his neck and softened his tone, "Mom, if you are angry, there is no need to mobilize people like this. If someone spreads the news without hesitation, the Hou family will lose face and be convicted of illegal loan sharking. It will not be worth the loss."

The last two sentences hit Mrs. Lu's weakness, but he would say that he couldn't make money and was useless.

I was so angry that I didn't know what to say.

Zhao Ruyi knelt down on the ground and cried so hard, "Master Hou, please don't make the old lady angry anymore. It's all my fault. I thought that the Hou family's expenses were high, so I tried to find a way to help, but I didn't expect it." I was deceived."

Lu Shanyuan relented and helped her up, "Hey, the Marquis Mansion naturally has men to support it, so there is no need for you, a woman, to show your face and take risks."

Lu Wan's calm voice rose slowly.

"I remember that in order to be promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Works, my father spent 300,000 taels of money to give the Minister of Works a five-leaf emerald peacock screen, and also gave his wife a set of emerald headbands. It was given by my mother."

Lu Shanyuan's old face turned red. He was furious when his daughter exposed him in public. He turned around and glared at her.

Mrs. Lu's face turned red and white. Lu Wan didn't bother to look at his stinky face, she looked up at the beautifully carved pillars on the roof and slowly turned around.

"Three years ago, my fourth uncle accidentally killed the younger brother of the Minister of Rites. The Hou Mansion accompanied him with a million taels of silver. The Hou Mansion was emptied and the ancestral home was sold. The whole family in the Lu Mansion had nowhere to live, so my mother asked Lu Mansion to let him live. My husband moved into this big house, and I think I have lived there for three or four years in vain..."

Before her death, her mother changed the deed of the house to her name and handed it to her personally, telling her not to give it to anyone who wanted it, including her father and grandmother.

At the time, she didn't understand.

It turned out that her mother was protecting her.

The tip of my nose felt sour, and tears almost came out.

Lu Shanyuan hated people saying that he relied on his wife to support him. He immediately became angry and said, "Lu Wan, what on earth do you want to do!"

Zhao Ruyi pretended to stop him and gave Lu Wan a look of hatred, "Wan'er, how dare you speak to your father like this? It's not easy for the old lady and your father to support the Hou family. You are the only legitimate daughter of the Hou family. Don’t you understand the principle of both prosperity and loss?”

Zhao Ruyi's words added fuel to the fire, and Lu Shanyuan wanted to beat his unfilial daughter to death.

"She is just a white-eyed wolf!"

Lu Wan suppressed her sadness and her eyes were cold.

In an outer room, despite Mrs. Lu's identity as niece, she dared to sow discord in front of her!

Don't kill her too easily.

But, it's too boring.

She wants to kill her heart even more!

Lu Wan glanced at Zhao Ruyi and said calmly, "Grandma doesn't want to defend my cousin's actions anymore. My father is more protective than my grandmother. It seems... you and your cousin are closer."

Zhao Ruyi's face turned pale, and the man who grabbed Lu Shanyuan's arm squeezed it tightly.

"You rebellious girl!" Lu Shanyuan was suddenly furious and raised his hand to slap Lu Wan.

Zhiruo and Mingxiao rushed forward to protect Lu Wan in the middle.

"That's enough!" Mrs. Lu banged the coffee table, her face turned livid with anger.

She could see that Lu Wan had a purpose in uncovering the most shameful things about the Lu family step by step.

Mrs. Lu suppressed her anger, took a few breaths, and looked at Lu Wan with a friendly expression, "Wan'er, you have always been the most well-behaved, and grandma loves you the most. What do you want now? To put it bluntly, grandma doesn't I won’t agree to it.”

Lu Wan lowered her eyes to hide the sarcasm in her eyes.

Her grandmother always wore a mask of 'loving'.

When her mother was alive, she treated her like a daughter and protected her to the best of her ability. As long as something happened, her mother was always right. All this is just for the mother's dowry and the relationship with Qin Guogong.

It was she who concealed Zhao Ruyi's identity and welcomed the mother and son into the Hou Mansion. She helped Zhao Ruyi turn his illegitimate son into the legitimate son of the Hou family.

As soon as her mother fell ill, she immediately took away the keys to her mother's dowry storehouse on the pretext of letting her recuperate, and let the outer room take charge of everything in the eldest house on the pretext of taking care of her father.

It was she who saw that she could not have children, so she turned around and sent Yu Churong to the Xie Mansion. It was she who said coldly to Lu Wan, who had been drained of blood by the Xie family, that she had to carry the water thrown by her married daughter by herself. It was she who knew that she was being imprisoned in the abandoned hospital, yet she allowed Zhao Ruyi, her daughter, and the Xie family to drain her dry and abandon her.

He just wanted to take advantage of her kindness and try to keep her mother's dowry to continue supporting them.

Looking up again, Lu Wan's eyes were cold.
