My sister must marry someone else? Why are you crying when I marry the King of War?

Aunt Qi had no choice but to grit her teeth and agree, "Yes, Madam..."

When Fu heard that Lin Yulan was resting in the bedroom, she sneered. Madam Qi poured tea for her, which was just what she wanted.

"Since my niece-in-law is really not feeling well, I won't bother her anymore."

Fu stood up with a smile, motioning for Madam Qi to follow.

Aunt Qi smiled and sent her out.

"Is she really uncomfortable or is she pretending?"

Fu asked quietly.

Aunt Qi was speechless.

If she told the truth, the Second Madam would definitely not want to suffer this loss, and would definitely go back angrily and break into the Marquis's bedroom, trying to take the opportunity to force and control the Marquis's wife. In this case, would the Marquis's wife still not know that it was her who leaked the secret? Would she still trust her in the future?

But if I don’t tell the truth...that would be tantamount to betraying my master.

The Second Lady is not a broad-minded person. I have deceived her. If the truth comes out in the future, she will definitely feel resentful and blame me to some extent. She will never trust me again.

Madam Hou has created a difficult problem for herself.

Madam Qi felt bitter. The Marquis' wife trusted her too much, which didn't seem to be a good thing...

Noticing that Madam Qi was distracted, Madam Hou was unhappy and frowned, "Madam Qi, what's wrong with you? Is it so difficult to answer such a simple question?"

"Ah? This old slave deserves death!" Madam Qi came back to her senses, and hurriedly apologized with a smile, saying, "To answer the Second Madam, the Marquis's wife is really dizzy. Perhaps it is a symptom left by the injury caused by the last carriage loss of control. The Marquis's wife has some minor problems from time to time."

"Is that really the case?" Fu's eyes lit up, as if she was very interested.

Nanny Qi just wanted to find a plausible excuse, but she didn't expect the Second Madam to be so interested, so she had no choice but to continue making up the story.

"That's right. Madam Hou is just a weak woman. She was seriously injured and frightened. It's not easy for her to recover completely."

Fu sneered and nodded with a gloating look, then asked for some more specific details.

Nanny Qi had no choice but to make up a story and speak it out.

Anyway, that was indeed the case when the Marquis's wife was just injured. It doesn't matter if she exaggerates a little now. After a long time, even if she recalls it again, the time will easily be blurred. Who can remember so clearly when it was?

Fu was even happier. "She deserves this kind of retribution. What a pity that she was raised so well!"

Fu walked away slowly.

Nanny Qi breathed a sigh of relief and hurried back to report her achievement to Lin Yulan.

Fu became more and more excited. She was thinking, since Lin was still recuperating from her injuries, then she and the old lady had discussed whether it would not be excessive to give her good nephew two beautiful concubines.

He is a marquis, and he cannot be without servants around him.

I hope Lin won't get even more angry and have a headache by then...

Shao Xun came back around dusk, reeking of alcohol. He frowned as he approached Lin Yulan, "How much did you drink, Lord?"

Shao Xun raised his sleeve and sniffed, then smiled, "Not much, but someone was careless and spilled some wine on me. Fortunately, I dodged in time, so it wasn't much, so I didn't have to change clothes. Madam, wait a moment, I'll change right away."

Lin Yulan smiled and said, "My Lord, please change into something a little more formal. We don't know if anyone will come from Yanshou Hall later."

Shao Xun was startled, then sneered, "Madam, you are right."

As the two had expected, Shao Xun had just changed his clothes and came out, and the two hadn't said a few words before Xiaochan from Old Madam Shao's courtyard came again.

"My Lord, Madam, the old lady asks you two to come over."

Lin Yulan and Shao Xun looked at each other and smiled.

Xiaochan was a little confused.

Shao Xun: "Go tell the old lady, we'll be there soon."

"Yes."

The two of them arrived, and Mr. Shao and Mrs. Fu were also there.

Fu's eyes moved around Lin Yulan, and Lin Yulan noticed it and felt very uncomfortable.

Mr. Shao still had that vicious look on his face, and when he looked at the two of them, it looked like knives were flying out of his eyes.

I don't know where he gets such a deep hatred from.

Lin Yulan felt a little scalp-tingling, thinking that if the Marquis refused to give Shao Zhixin a dowry, she didn't know how this second uncle would make a fuss.

It turned out to be about Shao Zhixin’s dowry.

Madam Shao's words were quite tactful. Shao Zhixin was the eldest daughter of the Marquis's mansion after all. Her marriage was no small matter. The other party was the son of the Duke's mansion. If the dowry was small, it would not look good and it would also bring shame to the Marquis's mansion. Shao Xun had a lot of good things in his hands, so he should give some to his cousin to add to her dowry. This was also a good way to make himself look good and save some of his reputation.

What Lin Yulan didn't expect was that Shao Xun refused without hesitation.

"She is indispensable for the makeup that should be given, and no one else can do it."

Mrs. Shao paused: He is such a jerk! She, as a grandmother, had been discussing this with him in a nice and gentle manner for a long time, but this is his attitude?

Mr. Shao's face immediately darkened, and he slapped the coffee table heavily, saying sternly: "Little bastard, do you still have any respect for your elders? Say it again if you dare!"

Shao Xun's eyes were cold and he showed no sign of weakness: "Second uncle, you keep saying the same two sentences over and over again, aren't you tired of it? When Second uncle and Second aunt marry their daughter, it's not my turn as a nephew to provide the dowry, right? Haven't you always been the head of our mansion? How can you ask me how to arrange a simple marriage?"

Master Shao was even more furious, "I think you deserve a beating! Today, I will teach you a lesson on behalf of your deceased parents, you unfilial son!"

He slammed the table, stood up with a ferocious look, and raised his hand to teach Shao Xun a lesson.

Shao Xun grabbed the arm that he had hit, his face getting even colder: "What? Second Uncle wants to fight?"

"You bastard, let me go!" Mr. Shao struggled hard but couldn't move, and he became even more angry and embarrassed.

Mrs. Fu was also furious: "Shao Xun, do you still have any sense of being a junior? Who allowed you to hit your second uncle? Your second uncle taught you a lesson for your own good, why are you so ungrateful?"

Lin Yulan hurried forward and gently tugged at Shao Xun's sleeve, "My Lord, don't be impulsive..."

After all, it was impossible for Shao Xun to really beat up Mr. Shao, so Lin Yulan gave him a way out, so he went along with it.

Shao Xun sneered, let go of his hand, and gently pushed Shao Erye back.

Master Shao stumbled back a few times and glared at him fiercely, "You bastard!"

Shao Xun was relaxed and at ease, "Second Uncle, if you have time to argue with me, you might as well think about how to marry your daughter off in a dignified manner."

"you!"

Madam Shao then spoke, heartbroken and distressed: "Ah Xun, how can Xin be your sister? Why are you so cold-blooded?"

"I even let Second Aunt run the Marquisate, how can I be called cold-blooded? Could it be that Second Uncle and Second Aunt are going to take away the things my parents left for me?"
