Chapter 259: Despair

"You have been wronged. In front of so many people, you have a skin-loving relationship with him, and he is your life-savior. It is reasonable. If the Leping Marquis's mansion comes to propose marriage, you cannot refuse. Otherwise, if the reputation is damaged, who will marry you?" The second wife is not as soft-hearted as Mrs. Chu. Now she is the one who decides this family, but she doesn't want her to influence other girls in the mansion.

"I don't want to marry him, otherwise I will be a nun!" Chu Jiating said angrily.

The second wife was not angry when she was confronted in front of so many people. She sneered. She had heard Chu Jiayi's maid Su Xin come back to report and knew that Chu Jiating had found Fachai to go to the lake. It was not obvious that she was probably going to the lake to seduce someone. It was just a coincidence that she was disrupted by the seventh prince of Leping Hou. Seeing that she was just a concubine, she shouted that she wanted to be a sister-in-law. How could she do something wrong without paying any price?

If this is her true thought, she will be happy to fulfill it.

Old Mrs. Chu was very angry and raised her face, "What nonsense! Although Zhao Rengui, the seventh son of the Leping Hou, is born in a vassal family, he is already fostered in the name of the Leping Hou's wife, and he is also a direct child. He has no shortage of arms and legs, and he is motivated again. Can marry him be worse than being a sister-in-law? If it is spread, how can you ask Leping Hou to gain a foothold in Jinjing!"

Old Mrs. Chu said this correctly. If Zhao Rengui was in normal circumstances, it would be aggrieved to marry Chu Jiating, but the problem now is that Chu Jiating was already wet by the seventh young master in front of the lake, and her innocence was gone. If she would rather be a nun than marry him, isn't this saying that he is extremely short, who dares to marry his daughter to him in the future?

The legitimate son of Leping Hou disappeared five years ago, and now there is only one son left. Such a despicable family will definitely have a terrible relationship with the Zhongyi Hou Mansion. Isn’t this causing trouble for the Hou Mansion?

It would be bad if you fail to get married but make grudges, so as not to say that you will climb up to Duke Rong's mansion and step on other disciples.

In fact, the Leping Marquis' Mansion is not a bad marriage. Chu Jiating has good talent and is more than enough to be matched with a fake legitimate son. She was also wronged because of Zhao Rengui's mistake. Marquis of Leping is ashamed of the Marquis' Mansion. After Chu Jiating married, life will be very good. If there are any difficulties in the Marquis' Mansion in the future, Marquis of Leping will not stand by.

Now I'm waiting for Marquis Leping to come to propose marriage. If I don't come, it means Chu Jiating is extremely poor and she is unwilling to marry even if she is wrong. If Marquis Zhongyi does not allow marriage, it means Zhao Rengui is extremely poor and would rather have a bad reputation than marry as a sister-in-law.

If this is true, it will be a dead knot.

Now that Hou Zhongyi and Duke Rong's mansion are getting married, it is difficult to establish an image, so the marriage with Hou Leping is settled.

Chu Jiating was crying in the rain at this moment, which made people feel pity.

Chu Xinyu sneered in her heart. She didn't want to be a nun. She said that before just an angry word, thinking that Old Lady Chu would pity her.

The second wife could not have seen her in front of Old Lady Chu. She has now officially taken over the family power of the Hou Mansion. She didn't want people to say that she had taken over the affairs of the mansion, so she began to wave her hand at Yuan's daughter and asked the maid to send her back to Luobiyuan.

Old Mrs. Chu asked the others to leave, leaving Chu Xinyu alone and asked her about entering the palace. Chu Xinyu told her that she was painting for the queen and there was nothing else, so she immediately returned to her house after finishing it.

Old Mrs. Chu nodded and told her what happened in the ancestral hall this morning.

Chu Xinyu knew that the second aunt would do it as she told her. As expected, at first, Yuan wanted to take back the power of the family, so she asked the people from her parents to force the second wife to return the power of the family.

These things were originally the affairs of the Marquis' Mansion. The so-called family scandals should not be made public. However, in order to regain the power of the family, Yuan even invited people from his parents to force the palace.

Knowing that the second wife couldn't see the problem with the account book, she was secretly happy and wanted to take the account book back.

Old Mrs. Chu said at this time that her health had not recovered and she had worked hard enough in the past. She took advantage of this period of time to take good care of her affairs, so she still let the second room continue to take care of the affairs of the mansion.

But the Yuan family refused to rely on it, and the people from the Yuan family started to make trouble, saying that the Marquis' Mansion was originally a big house, so why should the second house be in charge? Should the second house be there to bully the big house while the Marquis is outside?

The Yuan family said this too much, which angered the second wife. She smiled and never brought emotions to the people around her. Over time, people in the world said that she was kind and easy to talk, but she didn't speak. Are these people considered her easy to bully?

After anger, the second wife did not show it. She put smile on her face as usual. She took out the account book and said, "There are indeed several problems in the account book, but the eldest sister-in-law swears to say that the accounts are innocent. Since this is the case, the wife dared to ask the old lady to collect the account book and wait until the wife handles the matter in the inner house clearly, and then come to the old lady to report it to show justice."

Upon hearing this, the faces of the old lady Chu and Yuan changed suddenly, and the people of the Yuan family stopped talking.

When Yuan saw that Old Mrs. Chu was silent, she felt panicked.

The second wife observed Yuan quietly. Seeing her uneasy look on her face, she felt that there was something wrong with the account book.

Chu Xiao, who had never spoken, saw that they didn't speak and seemed to be difficult to make a decision, so he spoke out to them, saying that they were worried about the inner house, but now he was annoyed by the old lady. Since he had objections to the accounts and was unable to make up his mind, he put the accounts in the Buddhist temple to offer them. There was an old man's tablet there to keep him in the war, and no one dared to move. When he made a judgment in the future, he would invite him out of the Buddhist temple.

After Chu Xiao finished speaking, no one in the room dared to speak. In the end, the old lady decided to do what Chu Xiao said.

This was originally agreed by the second wife and Chu Xiao, but the old lady agreed so quickly. However, Yuan and the Yuan family still wanted to make the final struggle. Even if they couldn't get the power to take over, they would still take over the right to handle Chu Xinyu's marriage.

So, Yuan took back the right to handle the marriage on the grounds that she was Chu Xinyu's stepmother. She thought that if the account problem was really found out by the second wife, if she took back the right to handle the marriage on Chu Xinyu, she could take some out to fill it out on the betrothal gift Lin Chenyao gave Chu Xinyu.

However, the second wife knew Yuan’s plan very well. She thought that Chu Xinyu’s marriage was not far from that of the third girl’s marriage, and that it was just right to prepare together, so there was no need for Yuan. Yuan’s health was not good, so she should take good care of her health.

Both sides had their own opinions, and finally discussed it and left the sovereignty to Chu Xinyu to decide, so the old lady Chu left Chu Xinyu and asked her what she meant.

Without any suspense, Chu Xinyu of course said that he would handle it for the second wife, and the same reason was to let Yuan recover well.

Old Mrs. Chu didn't say anything, because she knew exactly what Yuan was thinking. She had suppressed the second house a lot in the past ten years and had become greedy in secret, especially Mei's dowry. Now Yatou Yu already knows it. Sooner or later, if she continues to do it, she really doesn't know how to help her.

"Your mother did something wrong before. If she could fill in the number, can you not pursue it?"

Old Mrs. Chu refers to dowry. After all, Yuan is her cousin and niece. In addition, she is the eldest wife of the Hou Mansion, so she represents the face of the Hou Mansion outside.

"Grandma, I didn't tell you that in the past two years of my life in Jinling Temple, I was hunted by killers several times. Once I was almost dead and had scars on my chest. Later, I asked the cousin of Qin to help me check and confirm that these killers were from the Shadow Killer Organization. You don't know that the spice shop has provided supplies to the Shadow Killer Organization in the years my mother took care of. If my cousin hadn't discovered it earlier, the spice shop would have burned before the court sealed it off, the people in our mansion would have been locked in the heavenly prison now."

When Chu Xinyu saw that the old lady Chu wanted to plead for Yuan, she couldn't help but remind her what Yuan had done to her so that she wouldn't forget to hurt her scars.

Old Mrs. Chu was speechless. She only knew that Yuan produced banned spices when she was running a spice shop, but she didn't know that it was a deal with the killer organization in the world, and she didn't know that Chu Xinyu almost died when she was in Puling Temple. If Yuan really had a relationship with that shadow organization, what reason would she protect her?

Yuan did do some things, and now she took away the power of her family. At least after the injury on her face is intact, Yu Yatou married to Duke Rong's mansion and the Marquis came back. If she performed well, she would consider handing over the power of her family back then. After all, she is Yi Ge'er's mother, and for the sake of Yi Ge'er's future, she can only do this.

However, Old Lady Chu didn't know that something happened to Yuan before Chu Xinyu got married.

At that time, Chu Jiating went to Qingliyuan crying and wanted Yuan to find a way for her. Ruo Leping's mansion came to propose marriage and pushed it away. Yuan knew that Chu Jiating wanted to seduce the eldest son of Dingyuan, but was ruined by Leping's concubine's concubine. She was extremely angry. She had just been angry in the second house in the morning. Now her daughter is the same, and she wishes she could be pinched to death.

But thinking about it, Leping Marquis' Mansion and Marquis' Mansion are also a good match, and Ting'er is not married yet. At least Leping Marquis's Mansion does not have so many uncles and aunts. The seventh son is now in the name of the official family and inherits the title by then. Ting'er will be the mistress of the family. If she can manage her marriage with all her heart, she will be very lucky.

Chu Jiating thought her mother would object, but she didn't expect that even she agreed and she was desperate. If she didn't even help her, no one in the mansion could help her.

Yuan was upset with the account book of the Buddhist temple and didn't care much about Chu Jiating's emotions. She had already sent someone to stare at the Buddhist temple, which also made people pay attention to the every move of the second room.

Yuan Hao's mother asked her to steal the day and change the day, put the real account book back and the fake ones back, but wouldn't she have to pay for the money to fill it back? How could she have so much silver? Even if she could take it out, what did Old Lady Chu and Second Uncle think of her? Especially the Second Lady and Third Lady, these two people have long thought of her jokes.

The only thing that is today is to let her loyal subordinates secretly stumbling out and let the second wife get into her trap, so that she can clear her charges.

But Yuan did not expect that the next day, someone in the palace sent a box of things, saying that it was the dowry added by Concubine Kang to Chu Xinyu, and even attached a dowry list from Mei.
