Is Xiao Fu Bao being disliked? The whole capital is spoiling me with their lives

Chapter 375: Chaos in the Prefectures
While Suisui was happily sharing gifts with his brothers, the atmosphere in Jinyangzi's mansion was heavy.

Xu Yueyao was so frightened that she retreated back to her room early, not daring to even stick her head out.

Jinyangzi was demoted, Old Madam Xu was seriously ill, Madam Xu was locked up in the Buddhist hall, and Aunt Su, who was previously favored and occasionally interfered in the housekeeping affairs, was sent to Zhuangzi and was closely watched by people arranged by Old Madam Xu.

Now, Aunt Zhou is in charge of the mansion. Aunt Zhou is quite capable, but she is similar to Aunt Su and the others in one respect.

That is, she also looked down on Xu Yueyao and other concubines.

Xu Yueyao understood what was going on, so she didn't dare to move forward. She just kept her head down, preparing to observe the situation.

All the women in the mansion were busy with their work, which made it seem like Jin Yangzi had nothing to do.

He was in a depressed mood and went straight to the brothel to drink, not caring about the lives of the people in the mansion.

Old Madam Xu had suffered a stroke. She couldn't even speak clearly now and could only make some strange hoarse noises.

Even so, his son Jinyangzi did not come near to serve.

Old Madam Xu did not blame her son for being unfilial. Instead, she felt that her son's wife and concubine were not good, which was why the family was not at peace.

At this time, Old Madam Xu was still there making some strange noises.

Aunt Zhou was serving nearby, but she couldn't hear clearly what the old lady wanted to say. From time to time, she looked anxiously at Mrs. Liu who was beside the old lady.

Mrs. Liu has served the old lady for many years and can sometimes understand a little bit of her thoughts.

At this point, there isn’t much that can be interpreted, but it is still somewhat useful.

"Hehehe..." Old Madam Xu raised her hand with difficulty and expressed her anxiously.

After thinking for a while, Mrs. Liu tentatively asked, "Does the old lady mean to let the eldest daughter marry into the Cui family in Qiongzhou?"

Madam Xu nodded with difficulty.

Aunt Zhou felt a little embarrassed after hearing this. She looked at the old lady's unhappy expression, gritted her teeth, and whispered, "...But the Cui family has declined. Would it be inappropriate to marry the eldest daughter into the Cui family?"

Now that the Jinyangzi Mansion is in decline, it is time for help.

Wouldn't it be even more of a loss to marry her to the even more declining Cui family?

Old Madam Xu was so anxious that she almost spoke directly, and she raised her hand and gestured for a long time.

However, his movements were stiff, and after demonstrating for a while, he lay back heavily.

Mrs. Xu thought for a long time before she spoke uncertainly, "What the old lady means is that the Cui family still has a chance to rise? Moreover, Qiongzhou is located in a remote area. Even if the eldest daughter is allowed to become a concubine in the Cui Mansion, at least the relationship between the two mansions can be connected. But if the eldest daughter really becomes a concubine, will she still be willing to help her family?"

Madam Xu sneered after hearing this, and Mrs. Xu immediately understood: "Yes, I understand. Without the care of her parents, the young lady will have a hard time in the Cui Mansion."

The scandal between Xu Yueling and Xu Yuejiao needs to be covered up.

Therefore, Xu Yueling should be married off far away, no matter whether she is the daughter of a legitimate wife or a concubine, just marry her off so that she won't be a nuisance to the people who remain in the capital.

Madam Xu is no longer in good health, so Madam Xu will still be the one making the decisions in this mansion from now on.

Old Madam Xu was not so happy about it, so she handed over the responsibility of being the head of the household to Madam Xu.

Therefore, marrying Xu Yueling far away, and making her a concubine, was actually just a disguised way of disgusting Madam Xu.

Aunt Zhou was not stupid. After listening to it, she probably understood what the old lady was thinking.

At this moment, Aunt Zhou felt cold in her heart. She thought, the Xu family has fallen into such a state now, and the old lady is still only thinking about her own little piece of land and maintaining her dignity in the family, and doesn't care about the life and death of the Xu family at all...

Will the Xu Mansion be okay with an old lady like this?

Aunt Zhou felt a chill in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. She was just silently thinking of a way out.

It is definitely not possible to rely on the Xu family, but who else can she and her son rely on besides the Xu family?
When the Xu family was in a mess, the Wei family in Huaiyang Marquis's Mansion was also in chaos.

Because the young master of the Wei Mansion, Wei Lanqiao, who was in favor, was beaten up. His face was swollen and his leg was broken.

The other party tried to kill him, but he still managed to hold on for a moment.

Young Master Wei was found and sent back home, where he immediately paid a large sum of money to hire a doctor, which saved his life.

However, no one has discovered who committed the crime yet.

Madam Wei and Xiao Xu went crazy and made trouble for everyone in the mansion.

Marquis Huaiyang thought she was too annoying. He showed some concern for his son, but when he realized that he would not die, he turned around and went to play chess with his old friend.

After hearing this, Mrs. Wei became even angrier.

She suspected that it was the concubines in the mansion who did it, but she had no evidence.

"Is it Aunt Qian? This bitch, what means will she not use to help her son succeed?"

"Maybe it's Aunt Mei. She doesn't have a son, so she's jealous of my little treasure?"

"And Aunt Cui, what good could the person that old hag arranged be?"

"It might be the boss's little whore!"

……

Mrs. Xu was so angry about her youngest son's injury that she went crazy.

Not only did she talk like crazy, but she also went to various courtyards and started beating people up.

When Madam Wei found out, her eyes went dark and she almost passed out from anger: "This troublemaker, she almost killed my grandson last time, and now she has the nerve to call others vicious?"

Wei Yongmei had just been pushed around by her stepmother and was still in a mess.

She was a little worried, so she packed up her things and went to find her brother.

At this time, Wei Mingqiao was writing big characters. When he saw his elder sister coming, he quickly put down his pen and went to greet her.

Wei Yongmei looked at her taciturn brother and had no way of asking him those questions.

She thought, this couldn't possibly be done by her own brother, right?

He is so timid and doesn't want to cause trouble, and he is still young.

Moreover, their status in the mansion was awkward, and their stepmother regarded them as thorns in her side.

It has not been easy to survive these years.

My brother can't always take the initiative to cause trouble, right?

After Wei Yongmei came to her senses, she gently touched her brother's head, said a few words of concern, and then motioned for Wei Mingqiao to continue reading and writing.

Wei Mingqiao watched Wei Yongmei go back, and after turning around, his expression darkened slightly.

Wei Mingqiao thought that he should not hold back and should just beat Wei Lanqiao to death.

All the bastards who bullied his benefactor must die!

Suisui has entered a sweet dream, and seems to be dreaming about something. His cute little mouth smacked his lips lightly, as if he was savoring the memory.

Aunt Xiang came over at this time. Seeing the cute appearance of the child, she fanned Sui Sui for a while. After seeing that the little girl slept more comfortably, she got up and left.

After checking that the mosquito repellent incense in the incense burner was still burning, he went back to rest with peace of mind.
