When the day dawned, everyone left. Xiao Yu lay on the bed in despair, her tears still streaming.

Aunt Fu tried to persuade her, but how could she do anything?

The personal maid Ruyi said bitterly: "It's all that Madam Meng's fault. The Crown Prince's wife was fine all along, but she was frightened by her - Madam Meng is really a disaster!"

Xiao Yu was stunned, hatred bursting out of her eyes. She clenched the quilt tightly and said word by word, "You are right. It was all her fault. She killed my child. The Meng family... I will not let them have an easy life, I will not let her have an easy life. I want them to live a life worse than death."

Nanny Fu knew very well that this matter had little to do with Madam Meng, but it could not be said to be completely unrelated. The Crown Prince's wife was originally as if she had lost her soul, but now she finally felt a little angry. Even if it was hatred, at least she had an emotional sustenance, which was better than being a walking corpse.

Nanny Fu also said, "What the Crown Prince's wife said is right. Madam Meng is so vicious. We can't let her go! You should take good care of yourself. There is still a long time to come. We will deal with her properly."

She didn't even dare to say "there will be more children", because she was the only one who knew how difficult it was for the Crown Prince's wife to be pregnant with this child.

Xiao Yu nodded gently and murmured, "Mammy is right, there is a long way to go, a long way to go..."

Xiao Yu was extremely tired and finally closed her eyes.

Hatred grows wildly like weeds in midsummer.

She couldn't accept that she had no chance to have this child, couldn't accept that she couldn't keep him even after trying her best. She could hate someone, of course she had to hate and blame someone.

This way she will feel better.

With the experience from her previous life, Lin Yulan quickly arranged all the affairs related to the opening of the incense shop in an orderly manner, and Shao Xun and his servant helped her a lot.

Shao Xun was very surprised. He didn't expect his wife to be so meticulous and thoughtful. She arranged everything so perfectly that the shopkeeper and steward he had prepared in advance were of no use.

Business was booming as soon as the store opened. Lin Yulan would go to the store every other day to check on any omissions or areas that needed improvement so that she could follow up in a timely manner. After a while, when everything was on track, she no longer needed to keep a close eye on it.

That day, Lin Yulan came out of the shop with Xiao Qu, intending to buy some cakes to bring back to the Marquis as a token of appreciation. The shop was in a very good location and had very good business, and she felt a little embarrassed if she didn't show her courtesy to the Marquis from time to time.

Uncle Zhao drove the carriage through the alley to take a shortcut. Unexpectedly, he turned a corner halfway and saw a group of people gathered not far ahead. There were shouts of fighting, and the carriage stopped. Lin Yulan almost hit her head on the carriage.

Before Lin Yulan could speak, she heard Uncle Zhao hurriedly say, "Madam Hou, I see that the people being besieged in front seem to be the third cousin and his daughter!"

"Third cousin, young master and young lady?"

Lin Yulan was surprised. A few days ago, Shao Xun told her that his third cousin and his cousin would come to Beijing soon, and asked her to arrange accommodation for his cousin in advance.

Now that Second Aunt has been told that she doesn't need to worry about the affairs of the first house, it will be natural for Lin Yulan, the Marquis's wife, to arrange accommodation and reception for her cousin An Xiaoqi.

Mrs. Fu was waiting to see her make a fool of herself, and she couldn't let Mrs. Fu get what she wanted.

Fearing that Fu would do something bad, she considered it over and over again and discussed with Shao Xun and decided to let An Xiaoqi live in the wing room in her yard, while Shao Xun invited his third cousin An Xueming to live in the Zizhu Courtyard in the front yard.

Shao Xun also felt that this was safe.

She didn't expect to meet them in this situation...

"Uncle Zhao, did you see it clearly?"

"I'm not wrong, ma'am. I have to go and help. Please wait here for a moment."

"I'll go with you, Xiao Qu. Go out and hire a car to go back to the Marquis' Mansion and ask Shao Ke to find someone to inform the Marquis. Go quickly!"

Xiao Qu was a little scared, "Madam, but you——"

"Go quickly."

"Yes......"

Xiaoqu gritted her teeth, jumped off the carriage, lifted her skirt and ran out of the alley quickly.

Lin Yulan also got off the carriage, "Uncle Zhao, let's go over there quickly."

Uncle Zhao looked at Lin Yulan with a complicated look and bowed, "Yes, Madam. Madam, please be careful later. Take care of yourself and don't get hurt. If anything goes wrong, leave quickly."

"I know."

Lin Yulan was not without fear in her heart, but now that she had encountered it, she could not just stand by and watch.

Even if Shao Xun treated her badly, she couldn't bear to watch the tragedy happen again.

What's more, Shao Xun treated her so well.

In her previous life, she only heard a few words later. Wuwei Hou's cousin An Xueming and cousin An Xiaoqi offended the Crown Princess's younger brother Deng Hengyan as soon as they arrived in Beijing. The brother and sister were besieged by Deng Hengyan and his men. An Xueming was covered in blood and died on the spot. An Xiaoqi fled in a panic and fainted in a remote place. When she was found two days later, she had lost too much blood and died.

Everyone in the circle knew that Deng Hengyan did it, but there was no evidence.

The prince needs a clean reputation, and even his father-in-law's family will not allow any unclean things to happen.

The East Palace took action personally. While Shao Xun was still frantically looking for An Xiaoqi, the whole matter had been dealt with cleanly. All the servants of the Deng family involved in the matter were secretly sent out of the capital, and Deng Hengyan hid in the mansion pretending to be sick.

When Shao Xun found An Xiaoqi's body and wanted to seek justice in grief and anger, he could not find any evidence.

Instead, he was angrily accused by the Deng family of being framed.

In anger, Shao Xun impulsively led his men into Deng's house to seek revenge. The two sides fought fiercely, which alarmed the Jiucheng Bingmasi, the Ministry of Justice, and the Dali Temple.

Shao Xun was sued by the Deng family to the Dali Temple and was thrown into prison.

At this time, the prince came out to speak well of him, showing the magnanimity of a crown prince: as long as Shao Xun admitted his mistake and apologized to the Deng family, he would be forgiven for his youthful impulsiveness for the sake of the contributions of Shao Xun's deceased father and the ancestors of the Wuwei Marquisate.

Shao Xun refused.

However, Lin Yuwei was terrified. She was afraid of being implicated, and she didn't want to lose her position as the Marquis's wife, so she ran to the Deng family and begged for forgiveness. She knelt and kowtowed outside the Deng's house, begging for forgiveness from the Deng family, and everyone saw it.

This is evidence that Shao Xun fabricated the story, framed someone and had no regard for the law.

After Shao Xun was released, he was seriously ill for several months and it was said that he also injured his leg. Later, he took a boat out of Beijing for a long journey.

It was nearly three years later when he returned to Beijing. By then, many things had happened in Beijing...

Lin Yulan later heard some news about this matter and sighed, but she was not very clear about the reason.

A few days ago, when Shao Xun asked her to make arrangements in advance to entertain her cousins, she suddenly remembered that something like this seemed to have happened in her previous life.

She reminded Shao Xun intentionally or unintentionally that her cousins ​​had come from far away and it would be too tiring for them to travel so long. It would be better to send someone out of the city to wait for them. It would save trouble and show the hospitality of relatives more clearly.

Shao Xun even laughed and said that he had the same idea as her and had already sent people out of the city to welcome her.

Lin Yulan felt relieved after hearing this.

Unexpectedly, something happened...
