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

Chapter 97 Master Yan’s Gift
Time passed by suddenly, and the twentieth day came in a blink of an eye.

During this period of time, the Lu Mansion was extremely busy.

What was supposed to be a wedding banquet for Na Ping's wife turned into a wedding for Mr. Hou's real wife. Another Mrs. Duo Jin was coming to the Hou Mansion, which cheered up the whole family.

Originally it was just a small-scale post. Because she was a common wife, many people declined with excuses. Now that she is officially married to the first wife, the Lu family simply posted all the people in the capital. Marquis Wenxin and Marquis Jin Wen were the first to send congratulatory gifts, and others After seeing this, I couldn't say anything, but I was ready to come.

At one time, there were nearly two hundred guests preparing to arrive.

The Lu Mansion started decorating early, with a string of red lanterns hanging on the long red wall.

Everyone knew that the Lu family was carrying out the ceremony of marrying the new Hou Madam with great fanfare, and there were even rumors that Miss Lu personally arranged and facilitated the marriage of the Hou family's stepmother. For a time, Lu Wan was widely praised for her filial piety and generosity.

For some reason, the fact that Zhao Ruyi was an outsider was quietly spread, and the original protagonist Zhao Ruyi was instantly belittled and stepped on.

After the six rites were celebrated in the Lu family, the Xia family took the lead in sending ten loads of bed-making gifts, saying that they were used to decorate and make beds for the new house.

Among them, two loads were of the best tonics and were delivered to Mrs. Lu's courtyard by name. The other load was full of famous people's calligraphy and paintings and were sent to the Marquis's room. One load was for Lu Wan, and the other was gifts for the other two rooms and the aunts. , and another one is a gift from the gentlemen and ladies.

The last load was five hundred taels of silver, said to be for the Lu family's wedding.

The masters of each courtyard were extremely happy. Before they even met the future Madam Hou, they were already praising her as a fairy in the sky and a peony on earth.

With the money, Madam Lu instantly recovered and regained her spirits, and conveniently took over Zhao Ruyi's housekeeping rights.

Everyone in the Hou Mansion said that things were going to change in Wu'an Hou Mansion and that good times were coming.

Jinxiu Pavilion, which was usually the busiest, became lifeless, as if it was the end of the world.

The servants of Jinxiu Pavilion and Liulicuan always tuck their tails between their legs and shrink their heads wherever they go, for fear of being grabbed by their pigtails and ridiculed.

The Xia family is very good at doing things, so they gave the gift in duplicate, one to Mrs. Lu and the other directly to Lu Wan.

Lu Wan couldn't help but praise the Xia family for their wealth and good conduct.

Seeing that the Lu family was organizing a grand wedding, they also climbed up the ladder, hoping to take the opportunity to get to know dignitaries in the Beijing circle and pave the way for their career.

No wonder a merchant could climb to the rank of fifth-ranking official in just a few years.

It's really not simple.

"Go and talk to Aunt Wu tomorrow. Since the Xia Mansion has given the money, I don't need to pay any more."

She paid for the wedding not out of filial piety, but out of control, to entertain guests at the show, and to make Mrs. Lu and her father feel guilty and not dare to point fingers.

Now that someone is offering money, she will no longer throw meat buns to these white-eyed wolves.

Zhiruo snorted disdainfully: "The Lu family is really shameless. They used the eldest girl's money to marry their step-brother, and now they have to use the bride's family's money to get married."

Lu Wan smiled: "If you get used to being shameless, you no longer know where your face is."

Zhiruo was a little worried: "Miss, this Miss Xia is too smart. Will she join forces with Mrs. Side..."

She knew what Lu Wan was planning, and at first she thought Miss Xia was more powerful and could cause trouble for Zhao Ruyi. But Zhao Ruyi is not an easy man. He is good at winning people's hearts. If the two of them join forces, won't the eldest girl have a powerful enemy?

The Xia family is very wealthy. Will the Lu family rise quickly due to the power of the Xia family?
Lu Wan casually threw the gift sheet away: "What are you afraid of if you are smart? If they are my enemy, I will fight against them. If they live an honest life, I will keep them for a while. I will not let them get revenge."

"Master Yan hasn't come back yet, and I don't know how the investigation went." Zhiruo frowned.

Lu Wan's face turned a little gloomy when he heard this, and then he smiled again: "It doesn't matter. The testimony that Grandma Ling got and the people brought back by Brother Jiaxing are enough."

She knew very well that the Lu family could not be brought down just because of Zhao Ruyi or the cessation of confession.

It would be more fun to let them watch their happy life fall apart and be helpless.

Lu Wan has shattered Zhao Ruyi's dream of getting married.

At the next wedding, she will break Zhao Ruyi's dream of an equal wife in full view of the public, making her the laughing stock of the capital and the most despicable concubine in the Hou family.

Let Yu Churong and Yu Xiuyan never have the opportunity to be part of the Lu family!

However, this is only the first counterattack. She will leave Zhao Ruyi alive so that she can continue to experience the feeling of being stepped on and crushed by the person she once loved deeply in the Lu Mansion.

As for the Lu family, if you do many evil things, you will have to reap the consequences.

"Go and tell Aunt Ling to ask Manager Ling to come back tonight and we can gather the evidence."

"Okay." Zhiruo responded.

After dinner, Grandma Ling and Steward Ling came together.

The door is closed, Mingxiao and Zhiruo are guarding the door, and no one is allowed to come near.

He ordered the steward to hand over a box with both hands: "Miss, Grandma He's family has been found and delivered to the farm. This is their confession."

Lu Wan finally breathed a sigh of relief. Even if Yan Yunhe couldn't come back, these evidences were enough to achieve her first step.

The Lu family wanted to use this wedding to erase the shame of Zhao Ruyi and her son. They wanted to restore their former glory by stepping on the flesh and blood of their dead mother. Didn't Lu Shanyuan want both?
Then she wanted to see what the Lu family's expressions would be like after everyone knew their faces.

Even if Yan Yunhe couldn't get back the evidence from the Jiangning Mansion, the testimony of these people and the books in the Kaifeng Mansion alone would be enough to put the Lu family and Zhao Ruyi into chaos.

Zhao Ruyi is Meng Ruyi. For this reason alone, Mrs. Lu's disgusting act of trying to whitewash the peace and cover up the scandal is enough to bring shame to the Lu family.

If Yan Yunhe can arrive and hammer them to death with a real hammer, she can really trample the Lu family into the mud and let them never stand up again!

"Mammy Ling, Uncle Ling, please go back and rest early." Lu Wan closed the box and handed it to Manager Ling.

"During the wedding, just listen to my orders."

The steward took the order and his mother-in-law responded in unison.

With everything ready, Lu Wan lay on the bed, but felt that her mind was in a mess and it was difficult to fall asleep.

Suddenly, something smashed in from the window, and the dawn guard woke up suddenly, and saw something on the ground through the moonlight.

Lu Wan, who had not slept soundly, was startled and sat up suddenly: "What's wrong?"

"Someone dropped something in." Dawn stood up and lit a candle, and then saw clearly that it was a pebble wrapped in a piece of paper.

There are a few words inside the unfolded paper: A big gift at the wedding.

Signed: Yan.

"Master Yan!" Ming Xiao said with a rare surprise on his face.

Lu Wan looked over and over, not familiar with Yan Yunhe's handwriting. She didn't know if it was his own handwriting, but it should have been sent by someone he arranged.

"No wonder Qing Ming said today that Master Yan should be back tonight." Ming Xiao couldn't hide his smile.

Lu Wan glanced at her: "When did you see Qing Ming?"

The smile that had just risen in the morning froze: "He... he will come to deliver letters even on weekdays."

Lu Wan stopped teasing her. After receiving Yan Yunhe's letter, she felt much more at ease: "Burn it."

At dawn, the note was thrown into the copper furnace and burned.

Lu Wan closed her eyes, but her mind still couldn't calm down. What gift did Yan Yunhe bring to her?

Four days passed quickly.

The night before the wedding.

All night, the lights in Lu Mansion were brightly lit, and there were busy figures everywhere. The stewards nervously checked every detail.

Lu Wan sat on the edge of the bed and looked at the red lantern outside the window.

A smile appeared on his calm face, and the look between his eyebrows was delicate and beautiful.

Lu Wan: I have been waiting for a long time to deal with you today!
