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

Chapter 15

The next day, the news spread like wildfire that Ke Yiqing was going to build a small Buddhist hall for the second lady, and a junior from Marquis Xuan'an also came to visit, secretly and openly inquiring about what had happened to the second lady in the past few days.

As soon as they left, the second lady made a fuss about throwing herself into a well.

Now that Marquis Pingyang was in a state of decline, the old lady was afraid of the influence of the second lady's husband's family, and did not dare to say that she had done this stupid thing, so she blamed it on Ke Yiqing.

That night, they sent juniors to block her door.

The second wife's son came over in a majestic manner. He had gained weight during the days away from the martial arts gym. He was about to pull her like last time, but was knocked down by Zi Xing, who immediately burst into tears.

The old lady had just recovered from a serious illness and was very weak, but she was still holding on.

I saw her lovingly helping her grandson up, and scolding Ke Yiqing: "You bitch, you not only bullied my second son's family, but you also didn't let the children go!"

The eldest lady also stood beside her with her children, and several young ladies also accused her, saying that she should apologize to the second lady.

"Apologise? How to apologize?"

The second wife's son said anxiously: "My mother is about to jump into the well, so of course you have to kneel three times and kowtow!"

The other children glared at her, obviously supporting the statement, but only the young lady timidly retorted.

"Sanniang." The young lady called her softly, shaking her hand with worry on her face.

When her heart softened, she asked Yujin to take her down.

The eldest lady, who had been silent all this time, now cast a meaningful look.

"Third Aunt doesn't pay much attention to the elders. The old lady and my mother are still here, but you let the young lady leave like this without even saying a greeting. Those who don't know think that our Marquis Mansion has no rules. "Miss Dafang yelled.

"Who do you think you are?"

"You!" Miss Dafang stamped her feet angrily, but she had nothing to say.

The second lady was no longer in a hurry to jump into the well at this time. She muttered that it was indeed a small door.

Ke Yiqing ignored her and only looked around with a sneer. In such a big family, the elders are disrespectful and the younger ones are shameless and shameless. It is really a nest of snakes and rats!
"I really should apologize. I was wrong before and thought you still had some conscience."

These words hit the old lady where it hurts. She rushed up angrily and wanted to hit her with a cane, but Zi Xing stopped her.

"You have no respect for your elders. You dare to stop me? It's really unfortunate for my family to marry a wife like you! It's unfortunate for my family!"

Unlucky family?Who is the evil spirit?
Ke Yiqing raised his eyebrows, pointed at the old man and scolded: "You are a blind and evil mother-in-law. It's not enough to give it to me, you also have to give it to your sister-in-law!"

The old lady was shocked. She never expected that Ke Yiqing would reveal such a scandal.

"What nonsense are you talking about! The second child's family has always been close to me, how could I treat her like this!"

After saying that, the old lady looked at the second lady, expecting her to say a few words, but she didn't expect that all she got in exchange was a look of resentment.

"The old lady is not afraid of getting slapped when she talks. If nothing really happened to my sister-in-law, why would she be seeking death and survival here at this time?"

"This..." The old lady was speechless.

Several juniors were also dumbfounded. The older ones had complex expressions on their faces, while the younger ones still looked confused.

At this time, the eldest lady, who had been standing aside silently, said, "What are the words of the third younger brother and sister? Aren't you ruining the reputation of the second younger brother and sister? If she is really dead, you won't dare to leave at night, right?"

Ke Yiqing retorted, "What? Does Madam think it's not her turn? Do you think who will be next if you give us two away?"

The eldest lady's daughter looked back and forth between the two of them hesitantly, as if she knew some terrible secret.

As for herself, her face was livid, she even glanced at the old lady with an unreadable expression, and then stopped talking.

At this time, a steward came to report that someone was coming to the Liyuan.

Ke Yiqing looked at them, but it was Yan Ming's personal maid Liuli.

Liuli first said hello to the second lady, then to her, and finally it was the turn of the old lady and the eldest lady.

After going through this sequence, the old lady was already livid, but she didn't dare to have an attack.

"Second Madam, are you feeling well lately?" Liuli smiled ambiguously, clapped her hands and then offered some ginseng and bird's nests to the entourage.

"The adults in our family have said that the Second Madam has served you well and has come here to bring some supplements." The Second Madam had a sullen face and said nothing. In the end, the old Madam was worried about her son's life and sent someone up to take it.

"The goddess said a few days ago that the second child's family has a peach blossom debt with your family. If she doesn't serve you properly, please forgive me. This is too much joy!"

The old lady greeted her with a smile on her old face, but Liuli was surprised by the peach blossom debt. She glanced at Ke Yiqing calmly, with nothing on her face.

"Okay, now that my Lord's words have been brought, I won't bother you any more."

"Hey, hey, yes, distinguished guest, go slowly."

The old lady stood up to see her off, Liuli smiled and held her hand, and said meaningfully: "I will tell you directly, my lord, what I mean is: the fate of the Second Master of the Hou Mansion depends entirely on the old lady's wishes."

"This……"

"Slave, please take your leave. Please stay."

Looking at the retreating figures of this group of people, the old lady's eyes flashed coldly. For the sake of her son, it was the right thing for the second son's family to do something.

Ke Yiqing didn't expect that Yan Ming actually had a backup plan. While he was lucky, he was even more wary of him.

In the days that followed, heartbreaking cries often came from the Second Madam's courtyard, and the carriage from the Liyuan also picked up and dropped off on time every day.

"With my good sister-in-law's temperament, how can she not make trouble?"

"It's making quite a fuss."

Yu Jin told her that because the second lady sought death many times, the old lady even ordered people to seal the wellhead.

"Bai Ling is gone too?"

Yu Jin nodded, "Not to mention Bai Ling, even the wall is wrapped with thick cloth."

Ke Yiqing was surprised. The cruelty of this old lady once again exceeded her knowledge. She didn't expect that she would push someone to this level for the sake of her son.

"Madam, do you still want to find an eminent monk to build a Buddhist temple?"

She shook her head and gave up.

It's not because she has a good heart, but when she sees the miserable second wife, she will think of herself who was once isolated and helpless.

This kind of karma is enough for the second lady to bear.

The master and servant were chatting here, but Zi Xing rushed over outside the house, waving something in his hand.

"You little girl, why are you running in such a hurry?" Yu Jin knew that Zi Xing was very strong, so he stood in front of Ke Yiqing, fearing that she would be hit.

"Trust, yes trust."

"Where is the letter that makes you so anxious?"

"He's from Jingnan. The man asked me to bring it to you quickly."

Ke Yiqing didn't care who the person in her mouth was. As soon as she heard Jingnan, she quickly opened it and took a look, her face even more ecstatic.

"Madam, what does the letter say?"

"Li Wei has earned some food for us, and we need to spend more money."

In the letter, he explained the details of the trip in detail, and even mentioned that thanks to Ke Yiqing's reminder, he had already taken precautions in Jingnan, and his brothers had many manpower, so no goods were lost.

But other merchants who were traveling with him suffered a disaster. Those merchants thought that the official road was safe, so they did not hire many thugs. When this happened, they wanted to run away quickly. A grain merchant saw that Li Wei was eager to ask for grain, so he wanted to sell it for 350 yuan per stone. give him.

At that time, the other party wanted to take action quickly to escape, so Li Wei wrote an IOU and collected the food. Now the other party is waiting to collect the money at the inn.

Yu Jinwei said: "In addition to buying a warehouse and a house, plus the odds and ends, Madam only has less than 2 taels on hand, and she wants to give 4 taels all at once. How can we get it all together?"

Ke Yiqing thought for a moment and came up with an idea.

Her dowry is now in the old lady's hands, and it's time to take back what belongs to her.
