Fortunate Life of the Rural Beauty

The second master was so angry that Mr. Li's appetite grew bigger and bigger, thinking that the fifth-rank official was the big white rice. He was not polite and slapped her several times.

He beat the Li family because the Li family wanted to ruin the marriage between Chu Zhen and the fourth son of the Liu family. She went out and said a lot of bad things about the Liu family, which made the Liu family want to break off the engagement. Later, it was the second master who begged the third wife to go to the Liu family to apologize, and the Liu family could endure it. The matter hadn't been settled yet, but when she brought it up again, she actually dared to say that her eldest brother was selfish. Now, even the second master knew that his eldest brother was jealous of the emperor, yet Li dared to make such a request.

Mrs. Li was not happy at first. She felt that Chu Zhen was the legitimate daughter of the Hou family, and Chu Ling'an was the legitimate son of the Hou family. One of them had not found a good marriage, and the other had a bad future. Not to mention that they were worse than the legitimate sons and daughters of the first and third families. Far, not even as good as a bastard in their room.

Now when the second master hits her, the anger she has been suppressing in her heart is released, and she fights with the second master. The second master lost an arm, and his body was hollowed out by women. Mrs. Li was so angry that she scratched the second master's face with many bloody marks in a few rounds.

The second master was extremely angry and shouted, Go back to your parents' house, I want to divorce my wife!

Li was frightened when she heard this, and quickly stopped, crying and begging the second master for forgiveness, and was willing to give the second master two thousand taels of silver to a red-branded young man in Yihonglou whom he had long admired. Wushuang bought it and then bought a house to put it in. Neither the Old Marquis of Chu nor the Marquis of Chu would allow a prostitute or woman to enter the house as a concubine.

In the past ten years or so when Li was managing the Hou Mansion, he embezzled more than 50,000 taels of silver, all of which he used as dowry money. Previously, he lost more than 10,000 taels to the second master. He has successively added some real estate for himself, his son and daughter, and now he has more than 30,000 taels left.

When the second master heard this, he didn't say anything more about Hugh Li. Most of the money Mrs. Li was greedy for was used by the second master, so even if the second master was angry with Mrs. Li, he still tolerated her until now.

This matter spread to the ears of the old Marquis, Chen Afu and others. The old Marquis was so angry that he called the second master to curse.

Seeing his son's colorful face and thinking of Xiao Wushuang, whom he bought as his wife, the old Marquis became angry and slapped him twice. He gritted his teeth and said, You and your wife have nothing to worry about. That's all, that's all. When the third child and Xuan'er come back, let's separate the family.

The second master was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and said, How can the sons separate their families when their father is still here? This is unfilial. Besides, there are laws in the court, and parents will not separate their families if they are alive.

He said so, but he was eager to separate. Although the big house gets the lion's share of the split, the second house can also get a lot. The old father lived a self-disciplined life and only had three sons. Unlike other families who had many legitimate sons and concubines, they didn't have many sons. If the old man took pity on himself as the poorest in the house and gave him a private house, the property he would get would not be less than 100,000 taels. The money can truly be in my hands, and I can spend it as I want, and I don't need to be angry with this woman just to get some money from Mr. Li.

The old Marquis knew his son's thoughts and said helplessly, Although there are laws in the court, there are also cases and precedents. When Lao San and others come back, Lao San will move to the West Jinbo Mansion. He is Xi Jin Bo, The court rewarded him with a mansion, which is his home. Xuan'er will inherit the title, and the boss and I will live in the countryside. It's not good for you to live in your nephew's house all the time. He waved his hand again and said, Go away, if you don't appear in front of me, I can live a few more days.

After the second master left, the old marquis went to Anrong Hall and called the chief manager to discuss the separation of the family with Mr. Chu. After that, someone invited the third lady and Chen Afu to Anrong Hall.

The old Marquis said that they would divide the family property first, and when Chu Guangkai and Chu Lingxuan came back, they would go to the Yamen to set up files and completely separate the families. He and the Marquis of Chu did a calculation, and each of the second and third bedrooms was given fifty thousand taels of silver, five thousand acres of farmland, three villages, two shops, and some furniture and ornaments.

The third lady wondered, Dad, why are we splitting up now? My husband and I both want to respect you and are not in a hurry to move to the West Jin uncle's house.

Thinking of the separation, the old man's eyes were red, and he said helplessly, There is nothing we can do. The second child and I can't even carry him. When the eldest brother and I go to live in the countryside for a long time, we are afraid that Xuan'er and Xuan'er's wife will not be able to hold them back. They only add to troubles.

Chen Afu has a past life concept, he likes to live a quiet life, and he is eager to separate his second wife and his family. But he still said a few words, Grandpa, there is no need to consider us. We would like the younger generation to pay filial piety in front of you. That would be lively.

The old Marquis shook his head and said, Those who are filial will be happy in front of me. Those who are unfilial will make me angry even if they poke me.

When he says this, it becomes difficult for others to talk to him.

The old Marquis added, The second house is the weakest, so I will give them another private house worth ten thousand taels of silver. You two are both rich, so I won't give it to you this time. When I die, how will you manage the remaining private houses? The family will be divided equally. He then said to the Marquis of Chu, The Li family has taken over fifty thousand taels of your silver. Alas, just because the second child is disabled, give it to them.

Lord Chu and the third lady quickly expressed their agreement.

The third lady was happy and murmured, With so much wealth, I don't know how long my second uncle can use it.

The old Marquis snorted coldly, If we leave it to him, everything will be ruined within ten years. Then my great-grandchildren will be pitiful. I have already thought about how I will use this money and property. The second child was in poor health and the Li family was not virtuous, so he was handed over directly to An'er, and An'er and his wife took care of the house. Moreover, if the second child wanted to spend a lot of money, An'er had to report it to me first. I I will also give the share to Qi'er to Qi'er, he is a good boy and cannot be manipulated by Mr. Li.

The third lady and Chen Afu both laughed. Unexpectedly, the old man was quite sinister, and they completely stopped the second master's thoughts. If the second master wants to spend money comfortably in the future, he will still have to squeeze out the greedy money in Mr. Li's hands.

The old marquis asked the third lady to quickly inform the second master's concubine Chu Lin and Chu Bi about the marriage. It was best to finalize their marriage before the official separation. He was worried that these two concubines would fall into the hands of the Li family. inside. In addition, another six thousand taels of silver were allocated from the second wife's property to be kept by the third wife and given to them as dowries when they get married.

The third lady nodded in agreement. She had already chosen several companies and was negotiating for a deal. She helped the two little girls not only because of her old-fashioned kindness, but also because she didn't want them to be manipulated by Mr. Li after the family separation. If they fall into the hands of the Li family, it is possible that they will be sold, not to mention the generous dowry.

After that, the Marquis of Chu asked people to gradually hand over the money and property in the Hou Mansion to Chen Afu.
