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

Looking at Lu Shanyuan's retreating back, Zhao Ruyi's smile slowly faded, and his eyes were filled with anger.

Useless man!
"Go away! Stupid thing!" Zhao Ruyi turned her head and almost bumped into the new maid who was following her. She was so angry that she cursed.

The maid, who was a little fat and silly, backed away in fright, lowering her head and not daring to speak.

Zhao Ruyi was furious.

The several maids she had carefully trained were all replaced, and two stupid and ugly maids were put in. Their hands and feet were rough, and it looked like they were hired by rough messengers.

Several of the confidants who had been bribed by the government were gone, and now she was no different from a deaf person.

You old man and little brat, just wait!

When Honglang settles the matter, all the Qin's dowry shops will become hers, and the entire Luhou Mansion will fall at her feet.

Zhao Ruyi was thinking beautifully, while Lu Wan and Mrs. Lu asked Zhiruo to make a list of guests for the banquet, while chatting about one thing or another.

"Grandma, the Marquis's wife should take care of these things, not grandma. My granddaughter feels sorry for you."

"Hey, I really didn't have to worry about your mother when she was alive." Mrs. Lu was exhausted by all the unexpected things during this period, and she felt like she had aged ten years.

"Yes, my father has no real wife, and the affairs in the back house are complicated. Even if my grandmother loves my father, it is inconvenient for her to get involved."

Mrs. Lu was very pleased: "Wan'er has really grown up and knows how to understand her grandmother."

"When did people not understand grandma?" Lu Wan pouted.

The girl puffed out her cheeks and was so cute that Mrs. Lu couldn't help but pinch her cheeks, "Wan'er is my grandmother's caring little cotton-padded jacket."

Lu Wan smiled sweetly, and then said worriedly: "But after the granddaughter gets married, who will take care of the grandmother?"

Mrs. Lu thought about it and felt worried.

The wives of the two concubines are all smart people, and their little abacus is rattling.

Liu's family was born as a slave, so she could serve others, but she couldn't help her balance the family.

The man named Meng was even more ambitious. He might not even be able to tolerate her old frame.

"If I marry my father a virtuous stepwife, my grandmother won't have to worry about the people and things in the backyard."

Mrs. Lu was stunned, "Stepwife?"

"Yes. Choose a dignified, capable and virtuous stepwife from among the legitimate daughters of fifth- and sixth-rank officials."

Mrs. Lu's eyes lit up, yes.

Wouldn't it be possible to tame the monsters in this house by choosing a serious stepwife for our son?
Lu Wan looked at her face and knew she was tempted.

I won’t continue to struggle with this matter.

"Grandma, I have something to worry about." The girl said with a sad look on her face.

"Why do you have so many things on your mind at such a young age?" Mrs. Lu's eyes were full of adoration.

"If my cousin's children are recorded in the Lu family tree, what should I do if someone suspects that they are my father's children?"

Madam Lu was stunned. He was actually her son's child.

No matter what, Yu Xiuyan must enter the family tree.

"The two children are both surnamed Yu. If the outside world thinks that my cousin was with my father before she lost her husband, and if the child is his father, then the father has committed adultery."

Madam Lu's mind was buzzing.

adultery?

The Marquis is about to be fucked off!
Lu Wan pretended not to see Mrs. Lu's change of expression and continued to talk: "I wonder where Yu Churong's father came from? If there are still people in the house, there will be endless troubles if they are investigated. Who are my cousin's relatives on my mother's side? Is the mouth secure?"

Mrs. Lu was flustered and hesitated: "I heard that their father was a merchant. Ruyi's father was a seventh-rank official. After he died of illness, his mother also died not long ago, so she couldn't marry into a good family. The family decided to give her a promise I live in a small business family."

Lu Wan sneered in her heart.

Extremely homeless?
Grandma’s story is well written.

However, I don’t know if her father made up the story for her, or if she made it up herself to trick Lu Wan?
Anyway, the seeds have been planted, let the little buds grow freely in grandma's heart.

No matter how straight or crooked he is, the more messy he is, the better. "The wedding is still a month away. My cousin has just given birth. It's not good for her to live in the house without a name or status. How about we arrange it as an equal wife first?"

Mrs. Lu's mind was in a state of confusion and she responded randomly: "Now you learn to be a housekeeper and just watch and deal with it."

"Okay." Lu Wan frowned and smiled like a flower.

As soon as Zhao Ruyi returned to Jinxiu Pavilion, Lu Wan had already spread the news throughout the house that she was going to become an equal wife.

Before dinner time, Nanny Wu went to Jinxiu Pavilion in person and announced in the name of the old lady that since there was no precedent for equal wives in the Marquis's back house, she would be given 20% more than the concubine's standard.

Twenty percent higher than your concubine?

Is she just a little higher than your concubine?

Zhao Ruyi was so angry that she really wanted to throw a tea bowl at him.

"By the way, the food and clothing for the young cousin and young lady were originally provided by the old lady, but now they come from you."

"What? I only have two taels of silver a month, how can it be enough?"

Zhao Ruyi couldn't bear it anymore. She jumped up and felt a pain in her lower abdomen. She fell back heavily and pointed at Aunt Wu and angrily shouted, "If you dare to treat me harshly, I will tell the Marquis."

Aunt Wu said calmly: "I would like to advise you, the wedding has not been held yet, and you are not a serious master yet. You should be content with your master's treatment first."

Zhao Ruyi clutched her stomach and sweated in pain, "Has the Marquis returned home? Go and call the Marquis!"

The fat maid glanced at Aunt Wu. Aunt Wu smiled and said, "Master Hou is not out of the house. The eldest son came back from the Taiyuan today. Aunt Liu made the roasted venison herself. Master Hou is eating there. Tonight I must be resting at Aunt Liu’s place.”

"What..." Zhao Ruyi was so angry that his head was spinning.

He lied to her!
How dare you lie to her!

what to do? What about the children?
She had a hunch that Lu Wan would definitely prevent the Yu Churong siblings from entering the Lu family's ancestral home.

That's the little bitch Lu Wan, she is responsible for everything.

The little bitch has a harmless face, but her heart is dark!

Grandma Wu was too lazy to look at her like this and left with her.

Zhao Ruyi lay on the bed and cried. The fat maid was at a loss and asked cautiously: "Cousin... Madam, do you want some warm water?"

Warm water?

Why did she drink warm water when she was in such pain?

"Help me go to Chunhuayuan!" She gritted her teeth. They were all in vain. Only she took action herself.

She couldn't believe that Lu Shanyuan didn't feel pity for her when he saw her like this.

Zhao Ruyi walked to Chunhua Courtyard with difficulty. Unexpectedly, the door of the courtyard was closed tightly, and the lights were brightly lit inside. There were bursts of laughter and laughter, which made her stomach hurt even more.

"Call the door." She held the wall with difficulty.

The fat maid came forward and knocked on the door. After a while, a woman came out and saluted when she saw her, "Why are you here, madam?"

Zhao Ruyi felt better when she heard the lady's address, and said weakly: "Call the Marquis to come out."

The mother-in-law raised her eyebrows, "You haven't become an equal wife yet, and you dare to yell at the Marquis? You are too bold."

"When did I start shouting at the Marquis?" Zhao Ruyi was furious.

"How can the Marquis come out if you call him? I advise you to position yourself first. The Marquis is having a meal with our aunt and the young master. The Marquis ordered him to rest here tonight. Madam, if you are interested, go back first. Come on, don’t do this and bring trouble on yourself.”

After the mother-in-law finished speaking, she slammed the courtyard door shut.

Zhao Ruyi was so angry that she yelled: "You bitch, you have the guts..."

"Isn't this my cousin? Why are you scolding people here? You want to be an equal wife, so you should pay attention to your words and deeds." A gentle voice came, and Zhao Ruyi glared at her.

The girl is wearing a snow fox cloak, with a beautiful smiling face as bright as a flower.

It made her teeth itch with hatred.
