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

Chapter 44 Only by dying can you preserve your reputation
Liu Ruyi picked her teeth leisurely, "Give you 2 taels? Madam, you really have a strong tone."

Yan Ming rested his arm on his head and said, "It doesn't matter. After she loses money, I still have a lot of money in the warehouse, which is enough for her to lose money for most of her life."

Liu Ruyi sat up straight, "Are you so interested in her?"

His eyes darkened, "It's not that I'm attracted to her, but Jingnan's matter. You and I both know what Shengjing lacks most when the time comes."

"Are you interested in her food?"

The other party has already gone far.

Liu Ruyi touched the goosebumps on her body. She thought that the young lady was pregnant with his child and would be treated differently. It turned out that it was all a lie. Only power was what he cared about most.

On the other hand, Ke Yiqing had just returned to the Hou Mansion. The maidservant and the servant who passed by the house had very strange expressions. She hurriedly picked up the account book without having time to think about it.

Yu Jin saw it and snatched it away immediately, "Madam has suffered such a great injustice today. She should have a good rest. Why are you looking at the account book again?"

She reluctantly let go, "I just want to see the grain store's profit increase, and I want to take advantage of it and make a profit, so I can share more with Li Wei."

"How do you know, madam, that your health will be in bad shape as you get older?"

Ke Yiqing paused and said, "Yu Jin... you also know about my poisoning..."

Yu Jin's eyes turned red, "I don't know, I only know that my wife is the best wife, and you will live a long life!"

"Okay, okay, it's not my fault. I listen to you and won't read this account book."

She coaxed softly for a long time before Yu Jin's crying stopped.

"You girl, you tricked me into crying for nothing. It's already time to go to bed all of a sudden. How can I have a good rest?"

Yu Jin burst into tears and smiled, "It's obviously the madam who said something discouraging, so I will clean up for you right now."

"Your beautiful face has turned into a cat because of your crying. I still have some ointment on the table. You can take it and apply it on it."

Seeing the people's cheerful faces, Ke Yiqing's heart became heavier. However, in early October, Shengjing was so cold, but the really difficult days had not yet come.

"Madam, this red agate pendant really suits you. I should wear it more often in the future."

"If you like it, Madam will give it to you."

Yujin opened her eyes wide, "Madam...this is in your dowry..."

She came to her senses and realized that the dowry was given to her by her mother. No wonder she didn't buy any decent jewelry after marrying into the Marquis Mansion.

"Let's go back to my parents' house tomorrow."

"Madam, you should go back a long time ago. Tell the master and the others what these heartless people did to you, and they will definitely support you!"

support?Ke Yiqing smiled bitterly, fearing that he would be given another white silk.

The next day, she went to Li Wei's place, ordered the man to pull a cart of grain, and bought some jewelry and snacks that Ke's mother liked, and then went to Ke's house anxiously.

"Miss, it's not that I don't want to pass the message, but my wife made a statement yesterday and refused to let you in."

"Why is this? Is there any reason to prevent your own daughter from entering?"

The boy apologized and said, "Miss Yujin, there is nothing I can do about you putting yourself in such a difficult situation. What happened to the young lady a few days ago has been spread throughout the streets and alleys."

Ke Yiqing's heart felt cold. She calmed down before asking, "You little boy, please speak more clearly. If you talk without any basis, be careful that I will sue you to the government!"

"Shameless thing, I don't want to hear such scandalous things. You still want to sue the government. Isn't that embarrassing enough?"

When she heard the sound, a dignified and beautiful woman dressed in plain brocade came out. At this time, the other party had an angry look on her face.

Yu Jin softened his attitude first, "Madam, she..."

The person who came was none other than Ke's mother. She yelled: "Shut up! I asked you to be the young lady's maid just because you were sensible. Now that such a big thing has happened, you still dare to defend me!"

Ke Yiqing stood in front of Yu Jin and said puzzledly: "My mother is so good, why did she get so angry? I don't know what my daughter did wrong..."

She didn't say anything, and what she received in response was a loud slap from Ke's mother.

Ke's mother winked, and a group of maids and servants immediately grabbed her and pulled her inside. Zi Xing was so anxious that she was about to hit her, but she stopped her with her eyes.Ke Yiqing covered her red and swollen face, thinking with some abandonment: In this life, I wonder what her good mother will do to her?

"She's still kind of well-behaved." Seeing that she didn't resist, Ke's mother's attitude became better.

"The incident between you and the Number One Scholar has spread throughout Shengjing. If your father hadn't been ridiculed by his colleagues in the previous court, my mother wouldn't have known that you would do such a despicable thing!"

Is this what happened?Ke Yiqing frowned, "Does the mother know the whole story?"

"What's the whole story? You are a widow, your reputation is the most important thing!"

"So whether it's true or false doesn't matter at all in my mother's mind?"

Ke's mother softened her attitude and said, "Your father said that if you die to make your ambition clear, then people outside will stop spreading nonsense. Then everyone will praise you as a loyal and loyal woman, and your father will not To be ridiculed again.”

Looking at the familiar face in front of her, she felt filled with sadness, "My father's reputation has been preserved, and he has seen enough of the excitement of outsiders. What about my daughter? Does her daughter deserve to die?"

"Qingqing, isn't this how we women...have been here in this life?"

Ke Yiqing wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and asked, "So, mother, you would rather watch me die, right?"

Ke's mother touched her fair and tender face, but finally she felt soft. She cried softly, "It's all my fault. It's my mother who gave birth to you to be so good-looking, and that's why people arranged you like this. My dear, dear, How could you do such a thing?”

After she cried, she became heartbroken, pulled out the hairpin from her hair, and scratched Ke Yiqing's face.

"Madam, be careful!" Zi Xing kicked the hairpin away and took off Ke's mother's arm.

"Are you all right ma'am?"

"I am fine."

With Zi Xing's help, she struggled to get up and saw the woman who had given birth to her rolling on the ground in pain, but no one around her dared to step forward to help her.

Her life in the Ke family was not easy either.

Seeing that the two of them had no intention of continuing to attack, Ke's mother's maid bravely helped him up and said with sadness: "Miss, do you think that you can sit back and relax after climbing to the number one scholar? If Madam goes to accuse you of disobedience..."

Ke Yiqing laughed and interrupted her, "Yes, she can accuse me of being disobedient, and I can accuse you two of hooking up with your foreigner, hahahahahahahaha!"

Both of them turned pale when they heard this, and Ke's mother was trembling with anger, "Okay, all my hard teachings were in vain. I actually taught you to be so ungrateful!"

"Am I ungrateful? Mother, do you think that without me, you would still be the head matron of the Ke family today?"

She pressed forward step by step, not letting Ke's mother have a chance to escape, "Before I got married, my father had adopted a foreign wife, and planned to adopt his son back. If I hadn't made the matter a big deal, he would not have dared to accept her because of his face. Come back. How long do you think your current stable life will last?"

Ke's mother had a sullen face, "You don't need to mention this matter again. It's my fault for not giving birth to a son for your father. He also promised me that the child will be adopted in my name. If you hadn't interfered with it, what would have happened to the child?" Could it be that you haven’t entered your ancestral home yet?”

The original maid also added more jealously: "Madam is right, the young lady acted in a biased manner."

Ke Yiqing shook her head and laughed, that's all, she was just lucky, and she actually imagined that she could change anything in her next life.

"Zixing, let's go back."

Ke's mother was anxious and stepped forward to block her, "If you dare to step out of this door today, don't recognize me as your mother again!"

"It's okay if you don't recognize such a mother." After saying that, she wanted to leave with Zi Xing, but stopped in front of the cart of food.

"I'll give this cart of food to you."

Ke's mother ran forward angrily and said, "I don't want what you sent me, you so ungrateful and ungrateful person!" After saying that, she tore open the bag, grabbed a handful of rice and threw it at her.

Ke Yiqing stood there, letting Ke's mother angrily hit her with grains. Yu Jin and Zi Xing wanted to step forward to block her, but she stopped them. The rough rice grains hit her face with pain, but they both Not feeling bad.

After the entire bag of grain was smashed, Ke's mother had no strength left and could only cry weakly.

She looked at the weak woman in front of her and seemed to see her former self.

"Mom, you are so pitiful."

The person who cried stopped for a moment, but when he came to his senses again, the person who spoke had already gone away.
