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

Chapter 58 An old friend returns (new content)

"It doesn't matter, Xie's parents' room has never been close to the other rooms." Lu Wan's mind was still thinking about the stolen goods, which was a mess.

"How do you know? When you get married, you have the obligation to keep the relationship between the eldest brother and everyone harmonious. We are all one family, right?"

Of course Mrs. Lu knew that Mrs. Xie didn't like the long house.

However, Mrs. Xie must definitely take over the title of Crown Prince to Xie Huaiyu. Even if Lu Wan holds the title of Crown Prince's wife and royal title for nothing, once the Crown Prince changes hands, her status as Crown Prince's wife will also be gone.

Lu Wan must be able to speak to the Xie family, otherwise, her marriage will be in vain.

"That's what Madam Xiehou said just now." Lu Wan's answer left Madam Lu with no doubts.

Lu Wan didn't care what Mrs. Lu was thinking, but she was pounding in her heart.

I thought I had received a huge betrothal gift, and I was very happy that Prince Xie was reliable, but I didn't expect that it was stolen goods from unknown sources.

The most terrible thing is that she read out the gift list in public. If the case comes to light, can she still escape?
Doesn't it mean that there is a huge bomb buried around me? It seems that the pile of things cannot be moved.

Fortunately, the ermine skin given to Lu Xiuning can be found for money, so he can just make up for it when the time comes.

Xie Zhiyan, are you still going to give her a tricky thing after you die?

So inhuman!
Returning to Yuyi Pavilion, Mingxiao took advantage of the fact that there was no one around and whispered, "Miss, when you met Madam Xiehou just now, there was a man in the side room."

Lu Wan was surprised, "Are you sure?"

"It's definitely a man's breath." Mingxiao said firmly.

Lu Wan believed that Jiang's character was such that it was impossible to hide a man secretly, maybe it was Prince Xie's person.

Or maybe it's Yan Yunhe... Does Jiang also know about their relationship?

isn't it?
Is Jiang so tolerant?

It's also possible that before the grand prince had even discussed marriage at the age of twenty-four, his mother would have been jumping up and down anxiously.

Lu Wan's head was struck by thunder several times today.

No, I have to find some books and read them immediately to understand this feeling. Otherwise, how to properly handle the relationship with Xie Zhiyan’s mother and Yan Yunhe in the future?
While Zhiruo took Xiyan and the others to prepare lunch, Lu Wan asked Mingxiao to call Dongqing.

"You two have to do an important thing this afternoon. You will exchange all the ordinary jewelry and objects that can be sold in my warehouse into silver, and send all the available silver on the account to Zuiyue Tower, so that they can all buy cold-proof things and food."

"Is the eldest girl going to take advantage of this year's severe cold to make some money?" Dongqing knew that the eldest girl had given instructions to her brother.

"It's not all about making money, it's also good to be prepared in advance."

Lu Wan thought for a while and then ordered, "At dawn, you send ten baskets of silver charcoal, new warm clothes and bedding to Mrs. I will send you some good vegetarian food, and it must be delivered to Fang Fei."

"Yes."

"Then you go and prepare first. I have two more instructions for Dongqing."

Pushing Mingxia aside, Lu Wan took Dongqing and whispered, "Do you know where I can buy those... all kinds of strange little story books?"

"There are book clubs and some street stalls. How many books will the slave bring back to the eldest girl?" Dongqing said with a smile.

In the past, when she went out, she would bring some interesting miscellaneous books and story books to relieve the eldest girl's boredom.

"I'm not talking about ordinary short stories, but something special..." Lu Wan couldn't explain clearly, and was afraid that Dongqing wouldn't understand.

"What special method?" Dongqing didn't know.

"It's...what men like to see." Lu Wan gritted her teeth.

What do men like to watch?

Dongqing tilted her head, thinking about the contents of the storybook that the boys usually discussed.

Could it be some kind of spring beauty that makes a man mad when he takes a breath, or a beauty in the palm of a domineering general?
However, her girl married a dead man, why should we see this?

Holly turned her head hard and suddenly understood that although the eldest girl was married to a dead man, she still wanted to understand the relationship between husband and wife and become a real married lady from the bottom of her heart?

Dongqing nodded vigorously: "I understand."

You knew already?

Lu Wan looked at the maid who looked like she was very smart in confusion.

Hope she really knows.

"Ah, by the way, help me buy two sets of men's clothing. The previous ones are too short."

"Ok."

The Lu family has always been lax in controlling Lu Wan, and she often disguises herself as a man and goes out to play. However, in the year when his wife passed away, she rarely went out dressed as a man for Xie Huaiyu, and tried her best to make herself more ladylike.

When Lu Wan woke up from her lunch break, she heard Dongqing and Zhiruo whispering excitedly. "Holly is back?" Lu Wan sat up.

"The eldest girl is awake." Zhiruo came over hurriedly, lifted up the gauze curtain and tied it, helped her put on her short coat and put on her cloth shoes.

Dongqing smiled and said: "Ling Xiao sent things to Qingliang Garden. I have good news and I can't wait for her to come back first."

"What good news, let's see how happy you two are." Lu Wan took a sip of the warm tea handed over by Zhiruo, and suddenly felt much more energetic.

"My brother, Grandma Ling, and Manager Ling are all here."

Lu Wan was startled, stood up suddenly, and grabbed Dongqing, "Really? Are you all in Beijing?"

"Well, it's at Zuiyue Tower. They asked the eldest girl to tell you whether they should go back to the Lu Mansion to see you or how to meet you."

He is indeed an understanding person.

"Bring a set of men's clothes and I'll go to Zuiyue Tower to meet them." Lu Wan was anxious to see Jia Xing and his wife.

Lu Wan took Dongqing alone out, got into the carriage, and skillfully changed into men's clothes.

The carriage was still parked at the side entrance of Zuiyue Tower.

It's not dinner time yet, but there are many people coming to Zuiyue Tower for tea and snacks. It's bustling with people coming and going.

Lu Wan and Dongqing walked around the corridor used by the servants and entered the inner courtyard.

Jiaxing, whose face was darkened, was waiting eagerly at the door.

"Big girl." He greeted her immediately when he saw her.

"Thanks for your hard work."

A group of people entered the inner room, where a man and a woman fell to their knees on the ground, crying and kowtowing, "My slave, please bow to the eldest lady."

"Oh, get up quickly, I can't help it." Lu Wan hurried forward and personally helped up Nanny Ling, "Uncle Ling, please get up quickly."

Lu Wan's eyes were red.

This is one of the grandmothers who watched her grow up.

There are three nuns around my mother, and Aunt Ling is the oldest one.

She was also the person she was least willing to get close to in her previous life, because she was very strict and behaved according to everyone's style. She was always taught to learn this and that.

However, Lu Wan understood in this life that her mother-in-law was doing it for her own good.

This made grandma burst into tears and said, "It was my fault. I should not have left the eldest girl behind."

"Okay, aren't you back? I'm happy, but I have to work hard for you again." Lu Wan coaxed with a smile.

Let the nanny quickly wipe away her tears and say, "I will serve the eldest lady wholeheartedly."

After her emotions calmed down, Lu Wan asked.

"Why did you leave suddenly? How are the other two nuns doing?"

"One of them married a businessman. After his wife passed away, she followed her husband to the northwest to do business and lost contact with her. The other one... Doctor Sun said she was suffering from tuberculosis, so the government kicked her out. I went out and heard that she died of illness."

The circles in Mammy Ling's eyes were red again. They were all the maids of the Madam's Qin Mansion.

Leaving, dying, thinking about it makes people sad.

"My slave girl suddenly disappeared because of Le'er. My cousin said that she had heard about the whereabouts of the human trafficker, so the two of us went to look for him together."

"Le'er? Have you found it?" Lu Wan remembered that she often teased him before.

Nanny Ling's eyes turned red, "Le'er was found, but unfortunately...one of her legs was missing."

Lu Wan felt sad, "It's good to be alive."

"Yes. We, as husband and wife, wanted to stay with him like this and spend the rest of our lives simply. But Jiaxing found us and told us about the girl's situation."

Nanny Ling suddenly became excited and said, "Miss, how can you marry a dead man? You won't marry anyone. When we return to Jiyang, the Lu family will never dare to say no. The old lady loves you very much. If you knew If you are wronged here, you will definitely lead people to kill you back to Bianjing City."

Lu Wan choked with sobs: "Mommy, I know you love me. But this matter cannot alarm my grandmother. My grandmother is not in good health and my uncle is still weak. Everyone in the court is watching with eager eyes. I can't cause them any trouble. The person I married is not an ordinary person. , he is the eldest son of Xie Mansion, and now he has been granted the title of Crown Prince and Young Master. I got the title because of him, so I can only protect myself by marrying him."

"Ma'am, I think my mother's death is not simple."

Auntie looked shocked: "Girl, what did you find?"

"I'm just guessing."

　Woohoo, PS3 failed. Please give me a vote and a five-star rating to comfort me, is there any one?
