Doting on concubines and destroying wives? I don’t want to be the mistress of the Hou clan anymore.

Chapter 23 Innocence
Lin Miaofu looked at Fu Bo and said, "Where is Dongrong on duty today?"

Uncle Fu said honestly: "Dongrong is serving the young master."

"Then is he on duty today?"

When serving as an errand in such a distinguished family, the servants do not have to do errands every day. They also have one day of rest every ten days.

Lin Miaofu asked about Dongrong's rest time.

But he asked the wrong person. How could Uncle Fu know the specific time of a servant's duty?

He wiped the sweat from his forehead again and said hesitantly: "I don't know...I'm afraid I have to ask Aunt Wan."

Lin Miaofu looked at Liang Yuqi: "Master Hou."

"Please come over, Wan Niang." Liang Yuqi ordered.

Originally, this person was from Wanniang's yard, and she should be present.

But because Liang Yu was ill, Liang Yuqi took over the job.

Before Madam Wan arrived, her cries came first. She cried so hard that her eyes were swollen.

As soon as he saw Liang Yuqi, he threw himself into his arms: "Master Hou, Yu'er..."

When he first heard these words, Liang Yuqi's heart sank: "What's wrong with Yu'er? What did the imperial doctor say?"

"The imperial doctor... Yu'er just wanted cold and caught the cold. His fever has not subsided yet. The imperial doctor said that only when the heat dissipates can he really get better. Now, he is still in danger."

Wan Niang said while wiping her tears with a handkerchief.

With such a sad and miserable look, Liang Yuqi couldn't bear to ask him anything.

"Why are you crying?" Lin Miaofu interrupted her coldly, "If you cry like this in public, people who don't know would think you are mourning."

Lin Miaofu also knew a little bit about Wan Niang, but she really didn't understand why Liang Yuqi was so fascinated by this kind of behavior. Maybe it’s the cousin who matches the dog, and it lasts forever.

Liang Yuqi scolded her: "How dare you curse Yu'er?"

Lin Miaofu raised her eyebrows: "Did I curse you? Don't slander good people again, Lord Marquis."

Liang Yuqi frowned, unable to refute.

Lin Miaofu was very sleepy and didn't bother to start a lawsuit with him. She asked Wan Niang directly: "Let me ask you, when did you ask Dongrong to go out to find the doctor?"

Wan Niang looked up at Liang Yuqi and saw him nodding towards her, so she spoke reluctantly: "It was probably after noon. I can't remember the exact time. I only know that it was after lunch..."

Lin Miaofu quickly found the loophole: "I remember that you sent people to find the Marquis in Xushi. No one was seen for three hours in the middle. Are you not in a hurry when you come back with the doctor?"

"I..." Wan Niang looked at Liang Yuqi helplessly: "I am trapped in the house, how can I know the situation outside? I just think it is difficult to find a doctor, so I can only wait."

"Lie." Lin Miaofu sneered: "Liang Yu is your son and the only child in the Hou family. He is sick. You didn't report it to the Marquis and the old lady immediately, but you only asked a boy to go out to find the doctor. , how do you instigate this young man?"

"My... madam gave me the right to be the middle child in the family before." Wan Niang hesitated.

"Yes." Lin Miaofu smiled pleasantly: "Since you have the right to be the mistress of the house, why would you let a servant bully you?"

"Didn't you tell the Marquis that someone blocked him and prevented him from going out to see the doctor, which delayed Liang Yu's condition? Then... why didn't you ask the Marquis and the old lady to make the decision for you as soon as possible?"

Wan Niang was questioned by her step by step, causing cold sweat to fall on her forehead: "No, no..."

"Wan Niang, what's your problem?" Liang Yuqi didn't know that Wan Niang had lied, but he still believed that Wan Niang didn't mean it.

"Speak up and I will make the decision for you."

"She didn't dare to say it." Lin Miaofu said coldly: "If my guess is correct, during the day, when Dong Rong was taking care of Liang Yu, he accidentally let him fall into the water and contracted the wind and cold."

"As for Aunt Wan, you punished Dong Rong, but you didn't want him to choke to death from the water, right?" "You're talking nonsense, that's not the case." Wan Niang defended herself with a stern expression: "You have no basis for what you said. It's obviously true. you……"

"Okay." Liang Yuqi had already made a decision in his heart: "This matter ends here."

"Yanghao, send your wife back."

Lin Miaofu yawned, glanced at Liang Yuqi meaningfully, and said slowly: "You have disturbed my dream today, so I have to think about how to compensate... Why don't you go back to the main room from today on?" have a rest."

Liang Yuqi did not refuse or agree, he just stared at Lin Miaofu.

He knew her words were a threat.

It's not that she really wants to go back to the main room to rest, but she is warning herself that if there is a next time, she will not let Wan Niang go.

This woman cannot be underestimated.

After everyone retreated, only Liang Yuqi and Wan Niang were left in the room.

"Wan Niang, you should believe me."

Liang Yuqi felt a little sad in his heart. He felt that based on his experience of living and dying with Wan Niang, Wan Niang should talk to him about everything.

But he didn't expect that she would lie to him.

"Master Hou, don't you believe me?"

"Then what she said is true."

In fact, Liang Yuqi already believed most of it.

"That's not the case." Wan Niang's tears flowed down again: "At that time, Dong Rong and Yu'er fell into the water together. We were only focused on saving Yu'er and did not notice that Dong Rong was entangled in water plants. When we found out When he did, he was out of breath.”

"Then what happened to the suicide note in his room and the jewelry from Yangzhou?"

"I did this." Wan Niang said bitterly, "Originally, Lord Marquis, your first wife should be mine."

"You hate her so much. Just pretend that there is no such thing as her in this family. Why bother..."

"But I don't want you, Lord Marquis, to sleep with her, let alone share my husband with other women." Wan Niang hugged Liang Yuqi: "You can only be mine."

Liang Yuqi's heart warmed, and she softened her tone: "I know what you mean, but after all, she is my wife, and I am ashamed of her."

"If you really hate her so much, I will see her less often in the future."

Wan Niang's heart felt cold. He didn't mean not to go, but to go less often.

"Master Marquis, can't you make peace with her for me?"

"But I must have a real wife to help me socialize and socialize." Liang Yuqi said guiltily: "This place is no better than the frontier fortress. Those female relatives of high-ranking officials and dignitaries are all ladies from famous families. Originally, Mrs. Lin did not have the qualifications to socialize with them, but Because she is good at dancing, she also gained a good reputation in the army."

Why doesn't Wan Niang know the reason for this?
It's just because she was born as a slave of a guilty minister, and her status is even more unattractive than the daughter of a merchant.

Even if Liang Yuqi and Lin Miaofu reconcile, he will still find another lady from a famous family to be his wife in the future.

And she can only be a concubine forever.

"Wan Niang, I owe you." Liang Yuqi held Wan Niang in his arms.

She was promised to be a couple for the rest of her life, but in the end she couldn't break through the obstacles of the world, so she had to do this.

Wan Niang nestled in his arms, biting her lips. What's the use of saying "owe"? Men can't be trusted after all.
