It is the time when the clouds stop raining

Upon hearing this, Bicao was horrified: "Sister, stop talking nonsense. Without the support of the Marquis, Mr. Fang's future is uncertain." Biyu is now hoping that Fang Tingshen can pass the imperial examination so that she can also be proud of herself.

Biyu said: "My mother has been ill recently, and I was too anxious and started talking nonsense."

Bicao said, "I have saved up eight taels of silver in the past year and I have left. I'll use it to pay for your mother's medical treatment first." She had saved up eight taels of silver in the past year and gave it all to Biyu at once.

Bicao also understood that the money she lent out today would never be returned.

What she was afraid of was what would happen if Biyu continued to be greedy?

Biyu thanked Bicao, took the purse given by Bicao, opened it and checked. A full eight taels of silver were now in her pocket. Biyu felt that the moon looked particularly beautiful tonight.

So what if she becomes a concubine? She is still under my control.

Bicao looked at Biyu's back as she left. She had been frugal for a whole year and had only saved eight taels of silver. But she had no choice. Knowing Biyu's character, she knew that if she didn't give her the silver today, she would really tell others.

No matter what to do in the future, Biyu will not give up.

Bicao cried until dawn. She didn't expect that the Marquis would not be there on her wedding night. She felt a little resentful towards Xie Qingyun from the second house.

The Marquis is his biological father, yet he still has to worry about her affairs. I feel sorry for him.

Over there, Li Yuling, Xie Liangping and Old Madam Xie are still discussing tomorrow's engagement. According to previous statements, Xie Shuping has passed away, and Xie Qingyun is engaged to Zheng Yulong. Xie Liangping will be the one to discuss matters with the Duke's Mansion tomorrow.

With so many rumors appearing today, Xie Liangping was scared and wanted to let the housekeeper come forward to discuss with the Duke's Mansion. However, Li Yuling disagreed. If the housekeeper discussed the matter, Xie Qingyun's status would be much lower. The Duke's Mansion already disliked Xie Qingyun's low status and that she was not Xie Liangping's biological daughter.

Xie Liangping said: "Yuling, when you went to pick up Xiaoxiao, you also witnessed the madness of the rumors. Aren't you afraid of any accidents tomorrow?"

Li Yuling said, "Qingyun is your biological daughter. It's fine that she can't call you dad in person, but now that she's engaged, you actually want an outsider to discuss things. Does Xie Liangping still have a heart?"

Xie Liangping said: "Things are different now. Word has spread outside that Qingyun is my daughter." He was also extremely anxious.

Li Yuling said, "What are you afraid of? As long as we don't admit it, they are just talking. If you don't want to show up tomorrow, then you are really guilty."

Old Madam Xie watched the two quarreling and had a severe headache: "Okay, we can't mess up at this critical moment. Liangping, just like Yuling said, we should do this and that tomorrow. It would be inappropriate to let a housekeeper talk to Duke Zheng. If it gets out, who knows what rumors will spread."

The old lady was really afraid of these rumors.

In fact, everyone understands that no matter whether Xie Liangping attends Xie Qingyun's engagement party tomorrow, some people will say that she is indeed his biological daughter. He dares to do this despite so many rumors. He really loves his daughter.

If Xie Liangping doesn't attend Xie Qingyun's engagement party tomorrow, and word gets out that someone will say, I'll just say it's true. In order to avoid suspicion today, Xie Liangping won't attend Xie Qingyun's engagement party.

In short, no matter what you do tomorrow, you will inevitably be gossiped about by others.

Can the Marquis' Mansion still bear such criticism?

Xie Liangping felt very tired. He had managed his image very well over the years. He was a good son, a good husband, a good father, and a good uncle. But now, his image has been greatly damaged.

Tired, tired, tired.

That night, the old lady shed tears. The once beautiful mansion now became a laughing stock.

Li Yuling shed tears that night. She felt that Xie Liangping had changed and no longer put her and her children first.

That night, Xie Qingyun shed tears. Everything was fine before, but now everything has gone wrong.

That night, Bicao also shed tears. Tonight was her wedding night, but she was threatened and could not see the Marquis.

Yun Shu slept soundly that night. What was supposed to happen would happen, it was just a matter of time.

Everyone in the Marquis' Mansion got up early. Yun Shu looked at the people who shed tears last night. It was obvious that they did not get enough rest. The circles under their eyes were either red or dark, the kind that even foundation could not cover up.

Everyone from the Minister's Mansion came, even Feng came. After not seeing her for a month, she had lost a lot of weight, as if she could be blown away by the wind.

When Xie Qingyun saw Feng, she was also frightened. After all, Xie Qingyun still remembered clearly how Feng went crazy and wanted to kill her that day.

I thought Feng was so sad that she locked herself in the yard and would never step out again in her life.

Feng had only one child, Li Yufei. If she died, Feng would want to die with her.

Until one day, she received a letter saying that there was another murderer behind Yu Fei's death, and asked her to concentrate on waiting for the day when the murderer would be brought to justice.

For some reason, when Feng saw such a ridiculous letter, her hands trembled, but she actually believed it vaguely in her heart.

There were so many people that day. If Liu Erniang wanted to take action, she would have had many opportunities, but she would not have done it on a day when there were so many people coming and going.

Feng decided to live a good life and kill the real murderer who killed Li Yufei.

Feng waited for the person who wrote the letter to write again, but that person never contacted her again.

Xie Liangping led everyone to the reception room and ordered the servants to bring up the best fruits and vegetables.

Finally, people from Duke Zheng’s mansion arrived carrying dozens of boxes of betrothal gifts.

There was a crowd of people watching the fun in front of the Marquis's mansion.

Unexpectedly, the Marquis' Mansion, which is at the center of public opinion, has also had a series of happy events in the past two days.

What was even more unexpected was that the Duke's Mansion did not care about the rumors and carried out the engagement as scheduled.

People around started talking at once, talking about what happened a few days ago.

"I didn't expect that today is the day Xie Qingyun gets engaged."

"Why did Duke Zheng's Mansion take a fancy to Xie Qingyun? I remember that they had previously favored the Marquis's real daughter."

"I think Xie Qingyun is also the Marquis's real daughter. Otherwise, the Duke Zheng's Mansion would still be able to sit still after such a big incident. It's because she is the Marquis Xie's daughter."

Xie Liangping, the housekeeper and the relatives of the Xie family were welcoming guests at the door. Hearing the discussions of the people around them, he felt very angry but had to greet them with a smile. His smile was more embarrassing than crying.

Xie Liangping originally wanted to ask the servants to drive the crowd away, but he had already driven them away once, and they all came back after a while. He had important things to do today, so it was really bad luck. He shouldn't have been happy about Li Yuling's request yesterday.

Even though Xie Liangping deliberately ignored the voices in the crowd, he still heard words like Xie Qingyun was his biological daughter. How could these people have such a good imagination and always get to the point of things?

Xie Liangping used the excuse of going to the mansion to greet guests and turned back to the marquis' residence. He was afraid that if he continued listening, he would be too impulsive and cause bad consequences, so he simply turned a blind eye.

It would be great if this could really be done. Xie Liangping still had a bitter face when he entered the reception room.

Hope everything will be fine after today.
