Bondage

That sneaky woman was the daughter-in-law of Qi Shun's family, the chief attendant of Chengyang Hou's Mansion, and she was the one who was injured by Shen Qianyu when she came to pick up Song Wan last time.

When the carriage overturned, although she rolled under the carriage with everyone, she did not faint, and saw Shen Qianyu committing a crime.

So Qi Shun's family knew that Song Wan was kidnapped by a strange man.

She dared not say anything about Mrs. Hou's innocence, so she secretly told Mother Jiang when she got back to Hou's house.

Thinking of Madam's panic-stricken appearance at that time, she shivered severely.

Coming here today is because of her order to secretly monitor Song Wan. Madam has something to say, if Song Wan dies outside and loses his innocence, their Marquis will use this to offer a letter of divorce, but if...

Qi Shun's family gritted their teeth, their eyes full of confusion.

Song Wan treated her well in the past, but this act of seducing wild men who are not chaste is really...too presumptuous!

"Go, go back to the mansion."

The Qishun family gritted their teeth and went all the way back to the Hou Mansion.

Mrs. Jiang and the concubine's children in the mansion passed away one after another, making Jiang's mother ten years older.Originally, she was pampered and pampered like a glamorous woman in her early thirties during the rich and noble days, but now most of her black hair became white overnight, as if she was ten years older.

"Ma'am, Aunt Liu is here again."

Mother Jiang was holding the brass hand stove, and a trace of impatience flashed in her eyes when she heard this.

"Do you want the servant to send her away?"

"No, let her in."

Raising her hand and pinching her eyebrows, Mother Jiang said: "I have also experienced the pain of bereavement. As a mother, I am afraid that I would like to go for my son. If you let her come in, I will relieve her."

"There are not too many people in the mansion this year, in my heart..."

Covering her chest, Mother Jiang sighed slightly: "It's not a taste either."

In the past, there were old ladies everywhere in the mansion and they didn't need her to take care of things. Over the years, she had developed a lazy temperament that she didn't want to be a director. Naturally, she didn't bother to raise the concubines and daughters in the mansion.

But although those concubines were not born by herself, she would not feel well if the living people were gone.

Not to mention that four people left the mansion in just a few months.

Thinking of this, Jiang's mother felt cold in her heart, and she held the stove in her arms tightly.

She hated Liu Zhu in her heart, especially in the past few days Liu Zhu had asked for a lot of things and money from the mansion to pay for Jiang Yan's funeral, but even though she had some complaints about this matter, she agreed to it one by one.

Could it be that she is still afraid that she will lose her son's fortune?

It's just the sorrow of being a mother, and there is nowhere to relieve it.

Mother Jiang was dressed in white, covering her tired eyes.

As soon as Liu Zhu entered the door, she saw Mother Jiang sitting there in a daze, thinking about something. She rolled her eyes and burst out a few tears in front of Mother Jiang.

"Madam, you have to decide for Yan'er."

Mother Jiang breathed a sigh of relief, lowered her eyes and said, "What's missing?"

Liu Zhu wiped her tears: "I went to Yulingzhai these few days, but found that there was nothing in Yan'er's room. How could this be possible? In the past, I saw that he spent a lot of money, and he doesn't look like he has no money."

"Besides, Liu Guanshi from the outer court also said that Yan'er dragged him south several times to bring things, and those things were not cheap, why are they all gone now?"

Mother Jiang frowned: "You came here for this?"

"It's normal for a man to socialize with his peers outside. Buying and selling things is normal. What can he have in the house of a concubine? And Jiang Yan's body is not cold, so you go to his room to find money? How can you be an aunt?"

Jiang's mother frowned, and her tone was sharp: "In the past few days, you have asked the mansion for this and that in the name of Jiang Yan's funeral. What about those things? Can they be used on Jiang Yan?"

Liu Zhu turned her head to avoid Mother Jiang's sight.

Her son is gone, so how can she not save some money for herself?If you are dead, why do you have to take all the money to the ground?

Thinking of Jiang Yan, Liu Zhu frowned.

That child was obviously well-behaved and sensible when he was a child, and treated her well, but somehow he changed his personality when he grew up, and he was cold-faced towards his biological mother every day, as if someone owed him eight hundred hangs.

His short life now is probably the retribution of his unfilial piety.

"Of course it will be used on the second master. The second master crawled out of my intestines. Who else can love him except me and my wife?"

"As long as you know."

Was it her own son? Mother Jiang didn't care to investigate carefully, and she wanted to send Liu Zhu back to her yard, but Liu Zhu knelt on the ground with a sad face on her face: "It's just madam, there are so many things missing in Yan'er's room, even The two servant girls beside him also went somewhere."

"Although it was Qingzhai who greeted the stewards of the mansion and took the deed to leave, but the concubine felt that something was wrong. The softness in Yan'er's hand must have been swept away by her little hoof. Ma'am, we should report to the officials. "

"You don't know how rich Yan'er was in the past, and [-]% of them have some private property outside..."

Liu Zhu looked anxious.

She had personally seen Jiang Yan give her sister-in-law a set of very expensive emerald hair masks. The emerald hair was excellent and worth thousands of taels of silver.

She secretly asked someone to inquire, at least 500 taels of silver was there.

If Jiang Yan had no private property in his hands, how could he afford such a thing?

The more Liu Zhu thought about it, the more anxious she became, and she bowed her waist and wished she could throw herself on Mother Jiang.

"enough."

Mother Jiang slammed the hand warmer on the ground with a bang: "Jiangyan is gone and you still arrange him? What's the reputation of a bastard for hiding things? Are you rushing to pour dirty water on a dead man?"

"You don't want any face for such a little money?"

"Mother Li."

Jiang's mother was short of breath, and the veins on her forehead were bulging: "Aunt Liu is talking nonsense, and I asked my family to cure her problem."

Mother Li hesitated, but Mother Jiang said in a loud voice: "Hurry up! I can see now that this mansion can't be done without some thunderous means. Go, let Liu's good memory grow today." , let her learn what she can say and what she can't say."

"I can't learn it, don't let her out, and bring me Jiang Xing to see what kind of daughter such an aunt can raise?"

Jiang Xing is nine years old this year, and Jiang's mother only has a submissive impression of this concubine daughter. Seeing Liu Zhu even make arrangements for his dead son today, it is unbearable.

Soon the servants brought Jiang Xing over, and Jiang's mother almost fainted from anger when she saw it.

Now that winter is about to enter, Jiang Xing is still wearing early autumn clothes. Just walking to Jiangxiang Courtyard, the little girl's hands are blue from the cold, and her face is flushed.

Jiang's mother supported her forehead, she was very angry: "Send Jiang Xing to..."

"Send it to Lan Courtyard and let Lin's Tong Huaisu take it with you. As for Liu Zhu, she has neither husband nor son, so it's useless to stay in the Hou's Mansion."

"The Hou Mansion has always treated people generously, so I don't need her to guard the Lord Hou for the rest of my life, and send me out of the mansion after taking care of the family law."

"Go and bring Liu Chengxiang to me, and let him discipline this thing well. If she dares to speak nonsense outside, the entire Liu family will be kicked out!"
