Chapter 1 Rebirth
"Ma'am, Master Hou is back."

Jingzhe's face looked a little ugly. She opened the curtain and came in, followed by a man in brocade but disheveled clothes.

Anyuanhou was tall and not bad looking in terms of facial features, but his steps were sloppy and his ears were dark, and he clearly looked like he was overindulging in sexual activities.

Jiang Fuyue came back to her senses, glanced at Anyuan Hou, and before he could speak, she took the initiative and said: "Go and pay 500 taels of silver to the account to Lord Hou."

Jingzhe bit her lip and wanted to say something, but when she caught Jiang Fuyue's gaze, she had no choice but to say yes and turned around reluctantly and left.

Seeing her giving money so straightforwardly, Marquis Anyuan couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"Master Marquis, your health is important. The situation in the mansion is no longer what it used to be. It's better to exercise some restraint."

After the routine admonishment, Jiang Fuyue poured a cup of tea into her hands and looked at the clear tea soup in trance.

Jingzhe went to the accounting room and couldn't come back for a while. Marquis Anyuan simply sat down next to the door without even taking a step inside: "It's not like your style to be so simple. Tell me, What medicine is sold in the gourd?”

This woman smells like copper. She always pretends to be good for him and doesn't want him to go out and spend money. Who knows who's pocket the money she saves goes into!
Jiang Fuyue smiled: "Master Hou misunderstood. It was the old lady who said that Master Hou is romantic and unrestrained by nature, and is most afraid of being restrained. I just acted according to the wishes of the old lady."

Anyuan Hou looked at her suspiciously: "Really?"

Jiang Fuyue nodded lightly: "Yes, in the future, if your husband is short of money, you can just go home and get it. If you can't get away, you can just ask the servant to come back and get it."

"It's just that the aunts in the backyard have to be comforted by my husband. I can't worry about them, so please don't blame me."

Anyuan Hou slapped his thigh suddenly, very satisfied: "It should have been like this a long time ago!"

Since she is his first wife, she should naturally regard him as her God and be obedient to him!

Anyuan Hou glanced at Jiang Fuyue again and felt that Jiang Fuyue looked much more pleasing to the eye today than before.

Jiang Fuyue lowered her head to sip her tea, hiding the mockery in her eyes.

In her previous life, she persuaded her husband with bitter words to return to the right path and not to live up to the position of marquis that the old Marquis had earned on the battlefield. However, Marquis Anyuan found her wordy and thought she had ulterior motives. Instead, he used Huo Wudu more and more, and even talked to the old lady She said it was all forced by her.

After hearing this, the old lady called her and reprimanded her, telling her to just take care of the backyard and stop interfering in men's affairs. Her words were extremely unpleasant, and she almost pointed at her nose and scolded her for stretching her hands too long and feeling wronged. His own precious son.

The bad things don't end there.

In her previous life, she tried her best to run the Hou's Mansion, being filial to her mother-in-law at first, and educating the children and concubines at the bottom. Not only did she manage the Hou's Mansion in an orderly manner, but she also earned the daughter of the entire Jiang family a good reputation for being good at running the house and devoted to her husband.

In the end, each of those sisters married better than the last, and no one thought highly of her, and they all said she was a coward, both covertly and openly.

It's a pity that she worked so hard and collapsed before she was forty, but the result was that her husband was resentful of her, and her mother-in-law regarded her as a tool to manage the marquis's house instead of a daughter-in-law. Even the sisters at home were unhappy. All they saw was that she was compromising, and they didn't even think about who she was doing this for!

She worked hard all her life, but in the end it became a joke!

How could she be willing to do so, how could she not hate it!

At this time, Jingzhe came back with the banknote: "Master Marquis, Madam, this is 500 taels -"

Before she even finished speaking, Marquis Anyuan couldn't wait to grab the banknote from her hand, roughly clicked it, and then left without saying a word.

Jiang Fuyue and the two maids had long been accustomed to this. Jingzhe looked at the finger that had just been accidentally touched by Marquis Anyuan, then resigned and went to rub the honey locusts.

Guyu snickered and said, "Now, Jingzhe has to rub a whole honey locust before he comes back!"

"If she hears what you said, you will be the one to send money to the Marquis next time." Jiang Fuyue glanced at her.Guyu quickly raised his hand to cover his mouth, then poked his head out of the door and looked out the door. He patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief when he didn't see Jingzhe's figure.

The Marquis stayed in the brothel all day long, who knew where those hands had touched?
Think about it all shocking.

Let Jingzhe do the dirty work.

Jiang Fuyue was secretly glad in her heart.

Thanks to the fact that Marquis Anyuan only likes beautiful women and thinks she is too dull and cares about him, and she has no feelings for Marquis Anyuan, the two have never consummated their marriage, let alone give birth to a child. One son and half a daughter, otherwise...

Jiang Fuyue shook her head and stopped thinking about it.

"Madam," a maid came in and saluted respectfully through a bead curtain: "The old lady has asked you to come over."

"understood."

Jiang Fuyue put down the tea cup and changed her clothes. Before Jingzhe came back, she took Gu Yu with her.

On the way, Gu Yu followed Jiang Fuyue closely and whispered: "Every time the old lady calls you, it doesn't do anything good. I don't know why this time..."

"No matter good or bad, we have to go," Jiang Fuyue said calmly, "Just keep your mouth shut after you leave the Shaoguang Courtyard. If the old lady hears this, you will be scolded again."

Gu Yu was startled and quickly stopped, lowering her head obediently and following Jiang Fuyue.

Shaoguangyuan is not far from Songshouyuan. You can reach it by turning two turns along the garden path.

Songshouyuan is very spacious, with a square layout. There is a tall podocarpus planted in the middle of the yard, and there is a lounge chair under the corridor. A woman in her early forties is lying on it leisurely and fanning the fan.

The woman has a slim figure, with protruding cheekbones, her hair is meticulously tied up, and her hair is dotted with green flowers. She is wearing an agarwood-colored robe with a stand-up collar and a double placket, and her whole body looks luxurious and noble.

Jiang Fuyue walked forward slowly, bowed her knees and saluted: "My daughter-in-law has met her mother-in-law."

The old lady glanced at her lightly and raised her hand to smooth her hair: "I heard that Yi'er is back?"

"Yes," Jiang Fuyue stood up straight, minding her own business, "My husband has taken 500 taels of silver and left."

The old lady noticed her actions and her tone suddenly became stern: "Going to the Flower House again?"

"Yes."

"Tsk!" The old lady seemed to have grabbed hold of her, and angrily yelled, "You are Yi'er's wife, Yi'er runs to the Flower House every day, and you don't know what to say! What's the use of you?!"

Jiang Fuyue smiled: "My mother-in-law said earlier that my husband has a free and unrestrained personality and asked my daughter-in-law not to be constrained by her husband. My daughter-in-law kept this in mind and did not dare to disobey her."

"You!" The old lady sat up suddenly and stared at Jiang Fuyue in disbelief, "You mean that I, the mother-in-law, am wrong?"

Jiang Fuyue had never dared to be disobedient to her in the past, so why did she dare to contradict her today? !
"Madam has been busy running the back house, and she must be very tired, so she suddenly acted inappropriately." Mother Liu came over with a cup of tea to smooth things over, "Old madam, don't you have something to tell madam? Don't beat around the bush. Finish the matter as soon as possible and let Madam go back and have a good rest!"

Mother Liu put the tea cup on the small table as she spoke: "Old madam, the fine jade leaves are evergreen, please try them."

The old lady hummed, picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then smacked it in her mouth for a long time, and then said: "The two young masters in the house have reached the time of enlightenment. The gentleman I personally invited is now in the capital. Let’s take a rest at Qingfeng Inn, and you can go pick me up tomorrow.”

Jiang Fuyue's eyebrows moved.
