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

Chapter 26 Protecting the Calf

Lin Miaofu sat and drank tea leisurely, not looking at Zheng's face.

The people in the Hou Mansion are all shameless. Instead of trying to reason with them, it would be better to just break up with them.

It wasn't until a little maid came in and announced that Aunt Wan was waiting outside and wanted to pay her respects to the old lady that the deadlock in the room was broken.

Lin Miaofu suddenly felt a little unlucky.

I must have missed the almanac when I went out today, so I met several people I didn't want to see in a row.

Before Mrs. Zheng let Wan Niang in, Lin Miaofu spoke first: "Since mother is still busy, I will come to greet you next time, so I will take my leave now."

"Don't be busy yet." Mrs. Zheng calmed down and said, "I haven't said anything about the business of calling you here yet. Just wait."

That was Wan Niang's matter. Lin Miaofu was not afraid and continued to sit and wait.

Wan Niang came in to greet Mrs. Zheng, and then greeted Lin Miaofu with some reluctance.

Lin Miaofuli paid no attention to it and just fiddled with the tea.

"Old madam, I've been looking at the accounts in the house these days, and there are a few things I don't understand very well, so I thought I'd come over and ask you for advice."

As Wan Niang spoke, she looked at Lin Miaofu with her eyes. The meaning was obvious.

Lin Miaofu didn't answer, just listened silently.

"I have already ignored Zhong Fu. Miao Fu was originally in charge of the affairs in the house. It would be better if you ask her." Zheng followed the trend and put the matter on Lin Miao Fu.

Wan Niang glanced at Lin Miaofu timidly, feeling a little puzzled, "Wan Niang knows that Madam doesn't like me very much, so it's better not to trouble Madam."

She is used to retreating in order to advance.

It's a pity that Lin Miaofu has been reborn once, and she is unwilling to maintain superficial harmony with this snake-hearted woman.

"Since you know that I don't want to see you, why do you show up where I am?"

Wan Niang's face froze instantly.

Everyone in the big house talks with a gun and a stick, and she is rarely so direct. For a moment, the room was eerily quiet.

Mrs. Zheng frowned: "Miaofu, she is Lord Marquis's savior after all. Don't speak so harshly."

"Am I wrong?" Lin Miaofu said calmly: "Although I come from a merchant family, I still understand the rules."

"The Liang Mansion can accommodate such a woman who corrupts the family tradition, but I really can't tolerate her."

"Whether you say I have a small stomach or that I don't have the capacity to accommodate others, I will always say it if I don't like it. My temper can make people angry. I hope you won't be offended."

Lin Miaofu said calmly: "Otherwise, I'd better leave, lest you think I'm not nice to you."

"You...okay!" Madam Zheng was so angry that she ordered someone to call Liang Yuqi. She wanted to show her some color today.

When Liang Yuqi arrived, the atmosphere in the room was already very solemn.

"Master Hou, you are finally here, you are such a good wife, you are going to force me to death!"

When he came, he knew what happened here, and he felt that Lin Miaofu was ignorant and didn't know how to block things.

Some things cannot be said directly.

"Mother, my son knows about it. Now he will punish her to kneel in the ancestral hall."

Lin Miaofu didn't cry or complain, she just glanced at Liang Yuqi and went to the ancestral hall, but Liang Yuqi didn't react.

"where are you going?"

"Go to the ancestral hall and kneel as punishment." Lin Miaofu raised her eyes and glanced at him, a little confused.

"Before that, I apologize to my mother." Liang Yuqi said coldly: "Kneeling is a punishment, but you must also apologize when you need to."

"Then the Marquis might as well punish me by kneeling for two more days."

The meaning was obvious, and she didn't admit her mistake.

I would rather kneel down than apologize to either of them.

"If you don't want to be punished, you can hold a chrysanthemum appreciation banquet in two days..."

Mrs. Zheng found a step for Lin Miaofu, hoping that she would be more sensible and take the initiative to take on the responsibilities of the family. Lin Miaofu said: "Thank you for your kindness, but I'd better kneel down."

"Maybe by kneeling down, you can understand what I did wrong?"

"You!" Ms. Zheng smashed the teacup on the ground: "You are such an insufferable thing."

Lin Miaofu sneered in her heart.

I just want him to give me money.

What's so difficult about this? As long as they are willing to apologize to themselves, it's not impossible for her to do it.

But it cannot be like this, subsidizing the family is taken as a matter of course.

There is no such thing in the world.

Lin Miaofu went to kneel in the ancestral hall.

The entire Hou Mansion's servants knew about it, and soon even people outside knew about it.

For a while, all the rumors were about the Rongchang Hou Mansion.

"Have you heard? What happened in the Rongchang Hou Mansion..." One person said mysteriously: "Tsk, it's simply more exciting than what the storyteller said."

"Who in the capital doesn't know about this?"

"They don't even know they are doing this kind of thing. They avoid a few people and shake it all off before returning it to the Marquis' Mansion. They really don't have any face at all."

"If you ask me, she might be the merchant's daughter. She has no virtue and no appearance. That's why she can't win a man's heart."

"I also heard that the Lin family was so ugly that the Marquis had no choice but to raise an outhouse so that he could have more children for himself."

"That being said, the Marquis is also very pitiful..."

Gu Zhao was sitting in the restaurant, listening to other people's gossip and thinking deeply.

"It has been verified that the painting is indeed fake."

It really was in his uncle's hands.

"But why is she, a boudoir girl, so good at forging paintings? Is there any news about this matter?"

"not yet."

Gu Zhaodao: "It's better to be faster."

His hand turned the tea cup unconsciously. He wanted to see this woman.

Suddenly there was the sound of fighting in the restaurant. Gu Zhao, who was sitting on the second floor, glanced down and saw that a few diners were arguing.

"...You alone dare to orchestrate the affairs of Rongchang Hou Mansion!"

The person who said this was a young man. He was not dressed as a Confucian scholar, and he did not seem to be a scholar.

I saw him grabbing the clothes of one of them, punching him a few times, and scolding him sternly: "You dare to trick my sister!"

"Master!"

The restaurant owner hurriedly said: "Stop it quickly, don't really hurt anyone."

Lin Qiyuan didn't expect that he would hear about his sister's family as soon as he came to the capital.

They just said what they said, but they still wanted to step on their sister with them.

He said that his sister was originally the daughter of a merchant, with no virtue or talent. She relied on a few coins at home to become the head wife of the Marquis.

That's why the Marquis of Rongchang hid his darling wife and concubine. After spending many years away from home, he was unwilling to return home and live with his real wife.

This is just nonsense from country folk.

But Lin Qiyuan has loved his sister since he was a child, and he won't let others say anything wrong about him.

I wanted to endure it, but I couldn't. A scuffle broke out with the person who was speaking, and he only targeted this person. He just pretended that the other person's fists didn't exist, and almost knocked out the man's teeth. Several guys managed to pull him away.

He didn't forget to kick him again: "Let me tell you, my sister is Mrs. Rongchanghou. She is very beautiful. If I hear you gossiping about her again, I will hit her every time I see her."
