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

Chapter 77 There is always a scapegoat

The young lady was escorted in by Li Wei's people, and cried until she died as soon as she saw Ke Yiqing.

"Sanniang wuwuwu, did I cause trouble for you? Wuwuwu..."

Ke Yiqing looked at her tearful face, and his heart broke into several petals, "No, it's too late for Sanniang to be happy when you are here, so how can I blame you?"

The young lady shook her head, "I, um, the wet nurse was sent away by them. I couldn't eat at Madam's place. They even brought me here and said that if I don't call you out, I will continue to be hungry when I go back."

She quickly hugged him over, coaxing and comforting her. After a long time, the little lady finally stopped crying.

Zi Xing had not interacted with people of his own age for a long time. At this time, he also took out his own dried meat and said dryly: "This is delicious, you can eat it."

The little lady's eyes were filled with tears. She had been hungry for a long time after crying for a long time, and now she ate with satisfaction.

Ke Yiqing sighed, this eldest lady was also cruel and even took advantage of her children, but she might have to thank her, otherwise she might not be able to protect the young lady in her current situation.

Touching the little lady's knotted hair, Yu Jin also cursed a few times. She also watched this little lady grow up. A good little girl, in such a short period of time, she has been raised like a little beggar.

"That's all, let's take her back to wash up first. The young lady hasn't eaten for a long time. Let's feed her some rice porridge first to avoid having a stomachache at night."

After everything was settled, Yu Jin came in to learn how to read the account books as she asked.

"Madam, the account slave here is a little confused."

"Ma'am, ma'am?"

"Huh?" She came back to her senses, a little embarrassed.

Yu Jin also frowned and said, "What are you thinking about, madam?"

"I'm thinking, it's only been a few days, why has the Hou Mansion turned into this?"

This is indeed strange. She had brought hundreds of kilograms of rice and noodles before, and with the old lady's wealth, the Hou Mansion would not be in such a state no matter what.

Yu Jin hesitated for a while, "Do you still remember what I told you before?"

Being reminded like this, Ke Yiqing also came back to her senses, "You mean they are clamoring to separate the family?"

Yu Jin nodded and said all the important things.

It turns out that the second lady’s natal family, Marquis Xuanping, has been through a long-term relationship and is now one of the registered nobles of Deji Hall. With such a natal family who is not short of food, plus the old lady’s own wealth.

A skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and everyone in the Marquis's mansion is still in a state of poverty no matter what.

"Marquis Xuanping sent people to deliver food several times before, but the old lady forced him to hand it over. She also said..."

"say what?"

"I said these are for the second master to redeem himself. The second lady is not clean anymore. If she continues to make trouble, she will ask someone to divorce her when the second master comes out."

Ke Yiqing's expression changed when he heard this. This old lady is really vicious.

According to the temperament of the second wife, she was abandoned by her husband's family at this age, and if the previous rumors spread, I am afraid that her parents' family would not be able to tolerate her. Wouldn't this drive people to a dead end?

"So we broke up and separated?"

"The eldest lady said that everyone in the Hou family has been used to save the second master. The old lady doesn't care about the life and death of her room, so she is clamoring to separate the family."

After hearing this, she just felt pitiful and pathetic. Fortunately, she had thought that she was just ostracizing her. Without a fool like her, the old lady could find other ways to suck the blood of other people.

"No wonder, the old lady is so partial, the eldest lady naturally refuses to pay any more."

The current situation in Shengjing is that rice is more expensive than money and rice and noodles cannot be bought with money, not to mention that the eldest lady is unwilling to give any more money?After thinking about this clearly, the depression that Ke Yiqing had accumulated in the past few days was now gone, leaving only happiness.

She sneered coldly: "This old guy is still quite strong now, but he will suffer a lot when he gets old in the future!"

Of the three sons of Marquis Pingyang, the eldest was the more stable and honest, but unfortunately he died early. The remaining second and third sons were all selfish and useless, and only a few wives were left. Now they have been completely offended. It depends on who will be in the future. Provide for her!
Ke Yiqing exhaled a breath of turbid air and continued to teach Yu Jin how to read the account book with a clear mind.

After being raised in Xiyuan for many days, it was finally time for her to be cleansed from the poison. On this day, Yujin dressed her up with resentment and stuffed two or three Tangbaozi into her body.

"This year is also strange. It gets cold so early. Madam, you must be very careful in purifying toxins to prevent cold air from entering your body."

As he spoke, tears welled up in his eyes again.

She was embarrassed. She had lived two lifetimes and was always worried about this girl Yu Jin. But when she thought that the colder the days, her charcoal fire business would make more money. Ke Yiqing immediately stopped feeling pain in her waist and legs, and she just wished she could be faster. Get rid of the poison quickly, so you can get out of the city and keep an eye on business!

"Okay, okay, it's up to you!" She blasted it a few times, but didn't blast it away.

"Go and look at the account books quickly, Madam, there are two or three more that she wants to read!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Jin felt dizzy, and the peony-like face in front of him became hateful.

Now that she had time, she hurried to the medicine shop. Xie Li'an was sitting in the back room reading medical books. When he saw her coming, he smiled sweetly and said, "I was just thinking about you, and you came here. Sit down quickly and burn some charcoal for my son."

The back room had been specially decorated by Li Wei, using the best red charcoal. After all, Xie Li was the trump card of their medicine shop, and there must be no mistakes.

Ke Yiqing took off his cloak and waited until the cold air dissipated from his body before asking, "How come you have time today to have tea with such elegance?"

Xie Li sighed, not used to it, "Brother Li is taking people to count the medicinal materials, there is no need for me at all."

"That's great. Let's take stock of some medicinal materials."

Xie Li shook his head and said he didn't know.

With a thought in her mind, she put on her clothes and hurried to the warehouse. As expected, there were many handsome men guarding her, and there were many horses resting in the backyard.

Ke Yiqing looked at the horse and already had a conclusion in his mind.

"Madam? Why are you here?" After hearing the report, Li Wei came out with his sleeves rolled up.

"What a big news. Is our pharmacy closed today?"

He sighed and said a little uneasily: "No, it's open normally, just because a big customer came. I was afraid that the noble man would be impatient, so I personally brought someone here to check."

She smiled, with a nonchalant look on her face, "Okay, just get busy, I'll go find Xie Li to cleanse the poison."

Upon hearing this, Li Wei couldn't help but show a relaxed and relieved expression.

Ke Yiqing pretended not to know, asked some unimportant questions and left.

After guessing that the person had gone far away, someone walked out of the darkness. He smiled teasingly, "It seems that the young lady is really good at it. Look how scared we, Mr. Li, were."

Li Wei wiped the cold sweat from his head and said helplessly: "Master Liu, at this critical moment, it is better to count the medicines quickly."

Liu Ruyi pouted, "Yes, yes."

But he couldn't bear the loneliness, and it was really tiring to take stock for so long, so he simply slipped out and looked for potato soufflé. He had been away from Beijing for a long time and missed it dearly.

Unexpectedly, he met a beautiful woman as soon as he left the house.
