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

Chapter 52 Coax her to come back
She has changed.

From the moment she walked in, she was aware that he was in the room.

She no longer always looks for him first like before. When she sees him, her eyes light up and she runs over with a smile on her face. When she gets in front of him, she pretends to be reserved and stands still, shyly calling Brother Wenyuan.

Today, she wore a high-purity outfit that made her skin whiter than snow. She had a delicate face. She did not apply makeup and lightly swept her eyebrows to make her facial features appear more radiant.

However, that face had completely lost its previous affection and tenderness, and was as cold as a stranger.

Xie Huaiyu was secretly shocked.

It had only been two days since they had seen each other, and Lu Wan was different from the inside out, as if he had become a different person.

Mrs. Xie coughed hard.

Xie Huaiyu came back to his senses, took a step forward, and said softly, "Wan'er..."

Lu Wan took a step back, lowered her head and folded her hands. The coldness of the stranger made people dare not make any mistakes, "Please thank the second young master for not using the wrong title, which will cause criticism."

Xie Huaiyu frowned, and just as he was about to take a step closer, dawn came between the two of them, and his cold expression forced Xie Huaiyu not to move.

Lu Wan still didn't give him a glance.

Mrs. Xie was so angry that her face was livid, why would you want to humiliate her in front of so many people?

He snorted coldly, "Wen Yuan, why don't you lead the way! Let Miss Lu kneel down for a while. After all, you have to observe filial piety for life after entering the house."

The ladies and ladies in the hall whispered to each other.

The ladies who were jealous of her usually said all kinds of unpleasant things to her, and there were also many who took pleasure in her misfortune.

There are also those who feel sorry for her and advise those who talk too much to stop talking nonsense.

Lu Wan just pretended not to hear. Anyway, no one was leading the way, and she recognized the house that was burned to ashes.

Being left out in front of so many noble ladies in the capital, Xie Huaiyu felt a little embarrassed.

He had always been arrogant and frowned, but for the sake of the future of the Hou Mansion, his grandmother had warned her early in the morning that Lu Wan came today to try to coax her to change her mind.

Lu Wan had already left on her own, but he had no choice but to follow her.

I wanted to catch up and talk to her, but she seemed to have eyes on the back of her head. If he moved faster, she would move faster.

He had never seen her run so fast and smoothly.

Mingxiao stared at him like a thief, ready to kick him if he dared to get close.

The mourning hall is located in the outer main courtyard. For the convenience of the female family members, an incense-burning place is set up in the inner courtyard.

Lu Wan was led into the incense-burning area. There were other ladies and ladies inside. Xie Huaiyu couldn't go in, so he had to wait outside.

Lu Wan looked solemnly at the spiritual tablet, took the incense handed over by her mother-in-law, knelt respectfully on the futon, and kowtowed three times seriously.

I muttered in my heart: Prince Xie, please don't blame her for borrowing his wife's name. She just wanted to live a good life. Who told the Xie family to bite her and not let her go? If you want to blame it, blame the old lady Xie.

In addition, please forgive yourself. She did not like him. She just used the power of the Crown Prince's wife to kill everyone. When the revenge is avenged, she will give up her position as a wife. She will also light a lantern for him in Longxing Temple and fix it for him. A golden body.

Of course, she would return the betrothal gift to his mother in full.

By the way, if there is a suitable candidate and the girl is willing, she will marry him on his behalf, which will count as someone honoring his mother on his behalf.

After achieving these points, Xie Zhiyan won't have any objections, right?

Lu Wan finished muttering in her heart, stood up and put the incense with peace of mind, and looked at the mother-in-law beside her, "Please take me to see the eldest lady."

When Xie Huaiyu saw her coming out, he went to greet her and was about to speak. Lu Wan, as slippery as a loach, ducked behind Mingxiao.

She gave him a cold look and said, "Thank you, Second Young Master, I'm going to see my future mother-in-law. Please don't follow me any longer, so as not to cause criticism."

After saying that, he bypassed him directly and followed Mrs. Xie's wife to the Changdu Garden with two maids.

Xie Huaiyu was frozen by her cold eyes.

The fists hidden in the sleeves were clenched.

How could he become a stranger in just two days?

No, impossible.

Grandma said that without the reputation and connections left by the Duke of Qin, the imperial concubine would not have looked down upon the Xie family. His father's official position could not be retained, and he could not take over the throne. Therefore, Lu Wan had to marry him!
If he fails, the grandmother will not allow Yu Churong to enter the house as a concubine.

Grandmother said that when a little girl loses her temper, she will deliberately get angry with her husband, or even ignore him, because she actually wants him to comfort her. Grandma also said that women have soft hearts and are easy to coax.

Xie Huaiyu encouraged himself that as long as he was given time, he would be confident to win Lu Wan's heart back.

The road the mother-in-law took did not lead directly to the gate of Dongyuan, but went around the corridor used by servants, entered the back garden corridor, passed through the small corner door, and arrived at the side door of Dongyuan.

The mother-in-law pointed to a narrow passage in the west corner of the side door, "Miss Lu, the eldest lady doesn't like to be disturbed, and no one is allowed to enter her small courtyard. I will send you here. You go along the path and you will arrive at the eldest lady." Live in Qingliang Garden.”

Lu Wan was a little stunned, "Madam, you live in the corner courtyard? Why don't you live in the main courtyard?"

"Only the wife and a maid are left in the eldest house. They cannot live in such a big yard. The big yard needs to be cleared out for Aunt Yun to live in." The mother-in-law said matter-of-factly.

Lu Wan frowned.

This Aunt Yun is Mrs. Xie's biological niece. She was childhood sweethearts with her second wife. For the sake of the Zeng family, she was willing to give up her position as the head wife and had a high status in the Xie family.

In her previous life, she had a very good relationship with Yu Churong, and he was also one of the accomplices who wasted her time.

But she didn't move into Dongyuan in her previous life?
Dawn took the lead in walking towards the small passage.

"The eldest lady is a serious marquis, how dare the Xie Mansion treat her like this?" Zhiruo was not angry.

"The eldest lady doesn't like to argue with others. After Mr. Hou passed away, she closed the door to thank guests and concentrated on worshiping Buddha. All the power of the Xie family is in the hands of Mrs. Xie." Lu Wan only had this impression of her.

Looking back at dawn, "Girl, please pay attention to your steps. This road is rarely used by people. The ground is covered with moss and your feet will be slippery."

Lu Wan looked down and saw that no one seemed to be leaving.

I became even more confused.

Didn’t the Xie Mansion send something to the eldest lady?
After the three masters and servants passed through the passage, they saw the courtyard surrounded by a low wall. The courtyard was not too small when seen through the octagonal window on the wall.

There are three main rooms plus wing rooms, left and right east and west wing rooms, and there seems to be a back room at the back.

The door to the main room was closed tightly, and no other servants could be seen outside.

Dawn stepped forward and knocked on the door, "Is there anyone there? The eldest lady of the Lu family is here to pay homage to Mrs. Xie."

After waiting for a while, the door of the main room opened, and a maid in plain clothes walked out quickly with a happy face.

He opened the courtyard door and saluted Lu Wan, "I have seen Miss Lu. Our eldest lady is also waiting for her. Please come in with me."

Lu Wan recognized her as Fang Fei, the maid beside Mrs. Xie. She had accompanied Mrs. Xie when she was a family priest.

Before Lu Wan could reach the door, Mrs. Xie He Jiangwan walked out on her own and looked at her with red eyes.

Yesterday, the marriage decree suddenly came, and I was really grateful to know that Lu Wan was willing to observe the festival for her son.

After the tragic loss of her son, Mrs. Jiang thought about finding a woman for her son to marry in the dark. It is not difficult to find a woman who is willing to marry in the dark. However, it is rare for a woman like Lu Wan, who comes from a family background and has good looks, to volunteer to keep her son's integrity.

"Good boy, you're here." Jiang's voice was hoarse and her eyes were swollen.

Lu Wan bowed politely and said, "Lu Wan has met Madam Xie Hou and asked Madam Hou to express her condolences."

In her previous life, the first time she met Jiang, she called her this way. She turned around and was scolded by Mrs. Xie. Xie Huaiyu also blamed her for irritating Mrs. Xie.

Mrs. Xie was the step-mother. Before she could receive the title of Marquis, the old Marquis passed away. The eldest son of the Xie family naturally inherited the title, and his grandson Xie Zhiyan became the eldest son. At the same time, the Jiang family created the title of Marquis.

This matter is a thorn in Mrs. Xie's heart.

Mrs. Xie was startled when she heard this title.

No one has called her Madam Hou for a long time, and the entire Xie Mansion has probably forgotten that she is the serious Madam Hou.

"Excuse me. It's a little cold outside. Come in and talk." Madam Xie grabbed her and took her into the main room.

There was no stove in the main room, so it was a bit cold.

Could it be that the Hou Mansion deducted the eldest lady's expenses?

But Prince Xie can give a generous betrothal gift, how can the eldest lady have no money to use?
Could it be that... Yan Yunhe is up to something?

The motives of such dark-minded people are hard to fathom.
