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

Chapter 24 Wrangling
Lin Miaofu was not interested in knowing what happened after that.

No matter what this couple did, as long as it didn't involve her, she didn't want to have anything to do with it.

However, because of Liang Yuqi's previous incident of punishing the servants in the house, Lin Miaofu rarely went out.

Just read books in the house, or paint some masterpieces silently.

She also sent people to ask about Jianghuai's affairs several times, but there was no response.

However, there are inquiries from outside every day.

"Madam, I heard that the person who assassinated the Beirong envoy has been caught." Xiaolian told Lin Miaofu one by one the news she had heard from outside.

"Caught so quickly?" Lin Miaofu was a little surprised. She remembered that this matter had always been an unsolved case in her previous life. During the peace talks at that time, she was bitten to death by Beirong because of this matter.

At that time, Beirong thought that the Xia State was not sincere in the peace talks, and asked the Xia State to show its sincerity by marrying the princess.

Since the assassin could not be found and it was indeed the Xia Kingdom that was unreasonable, Emperor Xia could only bear the pain and give up his love and marry his legitimate princess Fu Yuan.

As a result, the emperor and the empress became distraught and many troubles arose.

In this life, because of his changes, he still affected the fate of many people.

"Can I find out who caught the assassin?"

"Of course." Xiaolian said with excitement, "It was Gu Zhao, the eldest son of the Yongyi Kingdom, who accidentally bumped into him when he was wandering around Dongshi."

"Gu...Gu Zhao?"

"Yes, I heard it was a very bizarre experience, and even storytellers would not dare to make it up like that."

Lin Miaofu didn't want to listen anymore.

She felt that this matter was probably not as simple as what people outside said.

No wonder there has been no news from Jianghuai in the past few days.

Maybe even Jianghuai is in Gu Zhao's hands.

"Xiao Lian, go and ask the shopkeeper of Jinlou to find out who the arrested person is."

Lin Miaofu was worried that Gu Zhao would treat Jiang Huai as a scapegoat and send it to the court for fame and fortune.

Xiaolian went to do it immediately.

Lin Miaofu was a little worried and was thinking silently that someone else came from Zheng's side.

"Madam, the old lady invites you."

In order to show her benevolence, Mrs. Zheng spared Lin Miaofu her morning and dusk examinations after Wan Niang entered the house.

It was said that she sympathized with her as a daughter-in-law, but in fact she was worried that Lin Miaofu would be unhappy after seeing her having sex with her grandchild, and would find her son unhappy.

And Lin Miaofu also pretended not to know her true intentions, and acted very respectful every time, not telling the truth at all.

"Mother invited me over at this time, but what's the matter?"

Mother Liu smiled and said, "It's nothing serious. I just want to discuss with my wife when the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet will be held this time."

"Oh. So that's what happened." Lin Miaofu married into the Hou Mansion on the eighth day of June last year. Because she loved chrysanthemums, there were some very rare black chrysanthemums and a few fragrant mountain phoenixes in her dowry. They all bloomed in September of that year.

Lin Miaofu held an autumn feast.

The banquet was very successful, and Lin Miaofu's reputation spread, especially those chrysanthemums, which made many ladies miss her.

Mrs. Zheng asked several plants from Lin Miaofu to give away under various names.

Now that she knows the faces of these people, Lin Miaofu will naturally not touch their cold buttocks with her hot face.

Make up your mind to push forward if you can, and never waste your own manpower and material resources.

After entering the main room, she saw that in addition to Mrs. Zheng, there were two elderly women sitting upright. Lin Miaofu knew that it was not as simple as holding a banquet for discussion. These two are not easy-going people. They are Liang Yuqi's third uncle Wang and fourth uncle Song. They are the ones with the most debts among the poor relatives of the Liang family.

Lin Miaofu was still wondering before, why no one had come to make trouble with her yet.

At first I thought they had changed their minds.

Now that I think about it, it was Liang Yuqi who stopped the men from fighting, so in the end only these women came to the back house to cause trouble.

"Wan'an mother, Miaofu has met the third aunt and the fourth aunt."

This time she bowed properly and would not get up unless the elder asked her to get up.

Sure enough, Zheng ignored her for a long time before calling her up.

"I'm talking about Brother Qi, Madam! What you did is not honest."

Lin Miaofu stood and looked at Mrs. Wang who spoke with a blank look on her face: "Third Aunt, I'm new here. I don't know what I did wrong. I hope you will tell me if I have offended you."

"New here?" Mrs. Wang said quickly: "Since you don't know the rules, you should learn them carefully. So your mother-in-law is kind-hearted and doesn't ask you to say hello. How can you, a daughter-in-law, really feel at ease in the house?" Stay?"

"There is no such unfilial daughter-in-law as you in the world."

"That's right," Mrs. Song also said, "It's okay if you are sick. But looking at your face, you look very good, and you don't have any signs of illness. It can be seen that you don't take your mother-in-law seriously."

What a big hat.

Lin Miaofu didn't expect that she could tell lies with her eyes open, blaming herself for this incident.

"I told you, just say a word."

"Third aunt is right, I'm just thinking about it." Lin Miaofu said calmly: "It's true that I went too far."

"But, in the whole capital, there is no such noble family raising an outside wife. The child is older than the bride came to the house, right?"

Speaking of this matter, everyone knows that the Liang Mansion is at fault.

Why did Liang Yuqi marry a businesswoman?
It's not just their family's dowry that she's attracted to.

There is nothing wrong with it, but if you put this matter on the table, it would be really shameless.

"I've tolerated this now, but why are you still criticizing me?"

Lin Miaofu looked at Mrs. Zheng coldly: "Does mother also think that I did something wrong? If mother thinks so too, even if mother understands me in the future, I will come to pay her respects."

Mrs. Zheng originally wanted her two sisters-in-law to come and cure Lin Miaofu, but she didn't expect that she would directly divert the trouble to the east. If she agreed to this, the house would be in trouble again.

"Good boy, don't listen to your third aunt, I just want you to rest more." She hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over:

"You are not in good health to begin with, and now you are overly worried. How can I bear to let you rest every morning and dusk? I still expect you to take good care of your body and give birth to a legitimate son for my Liang family?"

Mrs. Wang rolled her eyes and said, "Sister-in-law, I am complaining for you."

"Okay, just say a few words. Don't you have other things to do here?"

Mrs. Zheng frowned and said, "Business matters are more important."

Wang and Song looked at each other, but Wang was the first to speak.

"Let me ask you, did you tell the shopkeeper of Chenlou Restaurant that we are not allowed to keep accounts in the future?"

"What? Third Aunt, what are you talking about? I don't understand."

"Don't pretend to be confused for me. The day before yesterday, my son invited his classmates to have a drink and went to the Chenlou Restaurant you opened. The shopkeeper said that from the past few days, he would no longer have to pay the bills, and he asked my son to report the previous few times in the restaurant. The expenses here have been settled, causing my son to lose a lot of face in front of his classmates!"

"Tell me, did you arrange this?"
