After being reborn as a widow, the mistress of the Hou family remarried a powerful official

Chapter 114
"Ah, my brother and sister are here." The second lady walked over with a smile on her face, followed by her fierce son.

Her son has lost a lot of weight now, but he doesn't look peaceful.

Ke Yiqing calmly protected Yu Jin and Xie Li behind him, holding a small whistle tightly in his hand.

This whistle was given to her by Yan Ming a while ago, saying that he could hear it as long as it was within a hundred miles radius. Zi Xing also heard it a few times.

The little girl doesn't have Yan Ming's ability, but she is following her outside the Hou Mansion, and as long as she blows the whistle, it only takes a moment to run in and protect her.

Seeing her defensive look, the second lady was a little unhappy, "Brother and sister, what are you doing? Can my son still eat you?"

"He doesn't know how to eat me, but he can beat his own mother. He is also very capable."

"you!"

The second lady was furious, but she also knew that Ke Yiqing was not someone she could offend now. The Hou Mansion owed so much foreign debt, and if he wanted to live a good life in peace and quiet, he had to rely on her to repay it.

"Brother and sister..."

She interrupted the man's marriage, "Don't call me that, it's no longer the case."

The smile froze on the second lady's face, which looked funny.

When the eldest lady arrived, she also laughed unceremoniously.

It has to be said that apart from the old lady, the eldest lady has the highest rank in the Hou Mansion.

"Mrs. Ke, I heard a while ago that you were awarded a reward by the Queen Mother, but you haven't had time to celebrate yet, so don't blame me."

"Ma'am, you are serious."

"Now that the young lady is living in Mrs. Ke's house, I don't know how she is doing?" As she said this, the eldest lady wiped away tears and said she was sorry for the uncle. She also said that she had a similar fate as her and had become a widow early.

After all the words were said, she was indeed much smarter than the second lady.

He not only hinted that the young lady was a child in her name, and if he wanted to continue raising her, Ke Yiqing would naturally show goodwill to her, but also mentioned that he was also a widow, so he was different from the old lady and others.

Although Ke Yiqing resented the eldest lady's scheming, she really didn't have a strong dislike for this person.

At any rate, the young lady was released from under the opponent's hand. This alone could make her endure a little.

"My lady is truly motherly."

Just because she didn't plan to touch her didn't mean she couldn't express her anger. She remembered the little lady's beggar look when she was brought back!
To say that the eldest lady is a loving mother who despises her daughter from outside the family the most is jarring.

She continued: "The little lady got a cold epidemic a few days ago, and now she is almost recovered. In a few days, I plan to let her and Zi Xing read some Four Books and Five Classics with the female gentleman."

After saying this, not to mention the eldest lady, even the second lady's face turned dark.

In the current situation of their Marquis Mansion, let alone hiring a husband for the eldest lady, there is no serious young man like the second wife's son.

There is no way, I am too poor and downcast.

Who would have thought that Ke Yiqing would actually treat a little girl with no name or status as a husband?

Where does this put the face of their Hou family?

At this time, Yu Jin said with a smile: "Yes, yes, madam asked me to learn with you. There are new things every day, so hard work!"

The faces of the two people in front of them were so dark that they could drip with water.

The second wife's son had a naughty temper and never liked reading or writing, but when he heard that the little girl Zi Xing who had beaten him had a husband, he glared at his mother.

"Mom, when can I go to school to study?"

"This, this..." As time passed, the fear in the second lady's eyes became more and more intense, and she even began to tremble slightly.

Seeing that her son was about to take action, Ke Yiqing coughed twice and changed the subject.

"Hmph, I'll let you go today!" Her son's eyes were sinister, and he kicked him in anger as he spoke. The second lady, fearful yet joyful, quickly led the way to the old lady's residence. "Brothers and sisters, this way, this way."

Now that things have happened, Ke Yiqing no longer cares about the title issue with others. This second lady is really pitiful.

Xie Li, who had been following the crowd silently, was also smacking his lips at this moment.

“I can’t get enough of the excitement in this Marquis Mansion!”

When a son beats his mother, isn't it hilarious to outsiders?

She shook her head and laughed, and followed the two of them to the old lady's residence.

The road was overgrown with weeds, and there were no servants or servants coming and going, but the ladies in the two houses had smiles on their faces. She was a little confused, but she soon understood.

It turned out that in the huge Hou Mansion, only the old lady was burning a charcoal fire. The weather was so cold, no wonder these two people were willing to go here.

In fact, Pingyang Hou Mansion, as one of the eight aristocratic families in the past, could not be in the current situation. The aristocratic families who have always been close to each other, if something slips through their fingers, can make their lives much easier.

When she was in charge of the Marquis Mansion, she would organize a large family to go out and about with people during holidays. But after the old lady took over, she was lucky enough not to find anyone to borrow money for bad debts, let alone go around.

When the second master came out, several other aristocratic families were harassed by the old lady and asked for a lot of things. Although they were not very valuable to them, it was not rude to come back and not reciprocate.

The feelings that were not strong to begin with could not withstand such a torment. This time the second master went in again, and I heard that there were several families who turned the old lady away.

There are rumors that there are no longer eight great aristocratic families in Shengjing, but now there are only seven great aristocratic families.

This starts with the old lady smashing Deji Hall and destroying many famous works.

The aristocratic family has the best reputation, who wants to be with such a person?

Even Marquis Xuanping, who was finally willing to help them, remained silent this time.

Ke Yiqing spent his whole life in this four-dimensional world in his last life. Now looking at the familiar bricks and tiles, they are in decline and desolate, and his heart is a little touched.

Marquis Pingyang's decline has reached this point, and her push is indispensable.

But she doesn't regret it.

"I heard that Dejitang has recently started selling red charcoal?" the eldest lady mentioned meaningfully.

"good."

"Hey, it's because we are so lucky that we don't have Mrs. Ke's charcoal fire. We can only burn some charcoal all day long, but it's very smokey. I wonder if it will conflict with the old lady."

She was amused that the eldest lady stopped pretending and asked her directly for charcoal.

"Mom, it's been so cold lately, we also need charcoal fire."

The second lady was dripping with cold sweat, and she said with a stiff face: "Yes, yes, since you gave it to the eldest lady, why not give it to me as well?"

"What are you talking about, brother and sister? The old lady just gave you some, why do you want it again?"

The old lady was partial, because the eldest lady had no son in her name, so she followed the second lady closely, for fear of freezing her beloved grandson.

"How can I have enough? Sister-in-law, you obviously still have a lot of money, why don't you use it to buy some charcoal? It would be great to share some of it."

"We have already separated our families, why should I pay for it?"

"Then the old lady is still being taken care of by my second wife. What's wrong with giving me some charcoal fire?"

"you!"

Ke Yiqing looked on with a cold face. Now that the Marquis Mansion is in such a state of decline, this family is still arguing over petty gains. It is really their own fault.
