When Shi Yi thinks about Xianyu, someone always comes to disturb her.

The Shangshu's wife suspected that her son was poisoned in the Shangshu Mansion. She had been making a fuss in the backyard since morning, checking everyone from the servants to the concubines and illegitimate children, for she was worried that someone was harboring evil intentions.

He was unwilling to let the concubine go until he found out what the poison was. Now the concubine and her son were still kneeling in the sun.

Shangshu Chen was arguing fiercely with his wife at home, so the imperial physician had to give his diagnosis. After finally calming down the farce in the Shangshu's mansion, something happened here.

The imperial physician was recalled and Minister Chen was dismissed and investigated.

She was captured by Prince Rui and his men, and the Shangshu's wife was also dragged out from the backyard without any decency. She was dragged out and shackled and taken away.

The minister's wife screamed and yelled, but the soldiers who were confiscating her property stuffed a piece of rag into her mouth, so she could only make "wuwu..." sounds and could no longer utter any curses.

The eldest son, who was too sick to get up, was also dragged away. Who cared whether he lived or died? The emperor said he deserved to die, so he would die sooner or later.

The eldest son was in a miserable state, with sunken eye sockets. The two poisons in his body were attacking his entire internal organs and his life would not last long.

If he had not disobeyed the doctor's advice, he would not have suffered the backlash so quickly and could have lived at least another three to five years.

But he ignored the warning: Never touch women!

Then the internal environment that has just achieved balance will immediately become chaotic, and the two toxins that restrain each other will rebel, and the internal organs of the body will become their targets of invasion.

So the eldest son's health has returned to the state it was before liberation, or even worse. He won't survive this night!

Although Old Madam Chen was not arrested, Prince Rui still met her in person and said to her:

"Old man, it is better to do more good deeds than to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures. Your grandson commits evil deeds in front of you every day, but you turn a blind eye. No matter how many scriptures you read, it cannot keep your house safe, and it is even more difficult to wash away the many sins he has committed. What do you think?"

The old lady's family suddenly encountered a huge change, and she was trembling and at a loss.

Prince Rui didn't care whether she listened or not. After arresting the person, he searched the house, especially the study and private storehouse, which were searched cleanly. All the property in the backyard was confiscated.

Only some money and food were left for the orphans and widows to live on, and the rest were taken away. The Shangshu Mansion soon became empty.

Madam Wen and her son from the Shangshu Mansion smiled at each other. They had finally made it. Although their home was ransacked, their properties were not confiscated.

Ever since Madam Wen gave birth to a son, she has been regarded as a thorn in the side by the Shangshu's wife, who always troubles her for no reason.

She hugged the Shangshu's thigh and cried, saying nothing, leaving it to the Shangshu to make the decision.

The Shangshu couldn't help her openly, so he could only give her many benefits secretly. This was the case every time, and little by little she accumulated a huge fortune.

She did not keep all her assets in the Shangshu Mansion, but in one of her own farms.

All of her and her son's belongings were there. They had long known that the Shangshu Mansion would not belong to them, so they moved all the good things away.

What's more, if there are any good things in the aunt's room, they can't be kept, because the lady will take them away for various reasons, and if she can't take them away, the lady will destroy them.

She was already familiar with the mistress's viciousness. She had not taken the initiative to seduce Minister Chen, but she ended up becoming a victim of their marital struggle.

She was unwilling to accept this and also realized that Minister Chen was not reliable, so she and her son made plans early on.

He did not completely hide it from Minister Chen. After all, they were all his sons, and he knew what kind of person the eldest son was, so Minister Chen acquiesced.

Unexpectedly, it would be of use now. As for the old lady, Madam Wen glanced at her, turned around, packed some clothes with her son and left the Shangshu Mansion.

The old lady seems to be a vegetarian and a Buddhist, but in fact she is more cruel than anyone else. I used to be the head maid beside the old lady and was loyal to her.

But because Minister Chen fell in love with her, the old lady gave her to her son as a concubine. Even though she knew that Minister Chen was going to get engaged, she still let him have her.

She had no power to refuse because she was a slave and her bond was in the hands of the old lady. Later, the old lady wanted to find a man to sell her before the new lady came in.

She was really struck by lightning at that time.

What would happen to a woman whose body was taken away by her master and then sold? She fainted after hearing the news. Unexpectedly, the young Minister Chen found a doctor for her without telling the old lady. The doctor felt her pulse and found that she was pregnant.

This saved her from danger, and from then on she hated this old lady who looked kind but was actually very cruel.

In the years that followed, the old lady never cared about her life or death. No matter how her mistress tortured her, the old lady never said a word, making her suffer a lot.

Today she can finally walk out of this door, because her indenture is now in her own hands. It was because of her son's hard work that her indenture was transferred from the old lady's hands to Minister Chen's hands.

Then, his son achieved good results in an imperial examination, and he asked for it while his father was happy. Now the mother and son can leave with ease.

They didn't bring the old lady with them. Didn't she like this place? Anyway, this place wasn't closed down, so she would just stay here. She and her son would settle down in the manor first.

When her son takes the imperial examination in the future, she can buy another yard in Kyoto. It doesn’t have to be big, but it must be cozy. Then the good days for her and her son will begin!

As for the other people in the Shangshu Mansion, they would never find any trouble with them again. No matter what would happen to the people in the Shangshu Mansion in the future, they didn't want to get involved.

The old lady looked at the two people walking away and stretched out her hand to call them to stop, but she knew they would not care about her because she really did not care about the mother and son.

She never defended them once when her daughter-in-law bullied them. She thought it was normal and that every wife would torture the concubine, as long as she didn't risk her life.

She watched as her grandson, whose eyes were full of love for her, gradually distanced himself from her. She didn't care at the time. She felt that the Shangshu Mansion would be inherited by the legitimate grandson sooner or later, so she gave all her love to him.

He completely ignored this illegitimate grandson. Even when he came to pay his respects later, he stood far away and never got close to him again.

Now they will definitely not care about themselves. The old lady regretted that she should not favor one over the other. They are all her grandsons, so why bother?

The maid helped the old lady back to the house. The old lady looked at the shrine with tears in her eyes and murmured, "Buddha! Am I really wrong?"
