I was a housekeeper in ancient times

This question stumped Lin Weiqiao, as she had forgotten that in that era, women were not allowed to set up their own households.

For women like Yu Muyan who lost their husbands but still had children, they could only stay in their husband's family as widows and raise their children until they grew up. It was very difficult for them to leave or even remarry.

Not to mention that the Lu family would stop it, it would also cause criticism in the secular world.

If a widow from an ordinary family remarries, she will be gossiped about, not to mention that Yu Muyan is not an ordinary person.

Of course, this is not without a solution. After Lu Yuxuan’s affair is exposed, whether Yu Muyan leaves or remarries, people’s hearts will be biased.

There is just one thing that is very contradictory. She wants Yu Muyan to leave the Lu family before Lu Yuxuan's incident to avoid being implicated. But it is not easy for Yu Muyan to leave until Lu Yuxuan's incident is exposed.

"Let's separate the family first, draw a clear line with them, and then make a long-term plan. I just want to ask Madam one last question, do you still remember Uncle?" She was afraid that Yu Muyan would not give up on Lu Yuxuan, even though Lu Yuxuan wanted Yu Muyan to die for him and almost killed Yu Muliu.

"I, I don't know." Yu Muyan said, "After so many years of friendship, how can I let it go? Besides, he is the biological father of Sister Fan and Brother Xing."

She was about to have a heart attack. It was true that if a woman was not cruel, she would suffer endlessly.

Fortunately, Yu Muyan was not hopeless, and she added: "It's OK that he doesn't miss me, but he can also let go of the two children. He didn't even look at Xing Ge'er. Mom, this matter concerns more than just me, please give me some time to digest it slowly."

When she thought about it, it was true. After so many years of relationship, it was hard for Yu Muyan to face it calmly, let alone hate it.

Qi family.

I don’t know where the sun came out from, but Gao actually came to visit for the first time.

Gao just wanted to come and see whether the Lady of Huiyang County had secretly brought Banqing back, or whether Qi Molou had hidden a mistress in his mansion.

She was not in a good mood, and naturally, Lady Huiyang, as her mother-in-law, was not in a good mood either.

Fortunately, Qi Motai was there to ease the atmosphere and prevent the situation from becoming too awkward.

Qi Motai asked about his two nephews, and Gao responded indifferently.

When the Lord of Huiyang saw Gao looking around, he knew that she was not here to see him, but to check something. He said, "Don't look around. There is no one here. You don't need to bother."

Gao sneered, "Mom, you treat me like an outsider. You won't even let me in when I come to your house to take a look?"

Because of Ban Qing's matter, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law almost had a falling out.

Huiyang County Lord was so proud that he could not tolerate Gao's overbearing behavior, and he did not behave like a junior at all.

So what if she was born into a noble family? She is disobedient to her parents-in-law and jealous by nature. How can she be a virtuous person?

She said, "I'm ashamed that you still think I'm the boss. You're usually not here, but now you're here so often. I'm afraid you're even wary of me, your mother-in-law."

Gao didn't say anything either, thinking that it would be easy if Banqing wasn't at Qi's house. But if she found out that Banqing was at Qi's house, she wouldn't be so easy to deal with.

At this time, Sister Fan, who had just woken up from her nap, came running over, "Aunt grandmother, Uncle Tai!"

Qi Motai picked up Sister Fan, pinched her cheeks and said, "Did you cry today? Are you used to living in your uncle's house?"

Sister Fan said: "It's a habit. I just miss my mother, and my elder sister and younger sister a little bit."

The Lady of Huiyang said, "That's easy. Your elder sister and younger sister will come in two days. Look at your face, it's red from sleeping. Why are you so hot?"

Nanny Guo said, "The girl is used to sleeping on her stomach. When I straightened her up, she would lie back down again."

Seeing that Huiyang County Lord and Qi Motai were very concerned about Fan Jie'er, the three of them were talking and laughing and having a great time. Gao felt that she was a little redundant and like an outsider.

Gao Shi felt unbalanced when she thought that the Lord of Huiyang County didn't care about his two sons. She also saw that Fan Jie'er was so close to Qi Motai, and wondered if Qi Motai often went to the Bo's Mansion.

Ban Qing’s incident made her hate Yu Muyan.

In fact, when she got married, Yu Muyan was not yet married, and she was more or less at odds with Yu Muyan. She was also jealous of how well the Qi family treated Yu Muyan.

She knew that Qi Motai had not married yet because of Yu Muyan.

Thinking that Yu Muyan is now a widow and Qi Motai has not let go yet, an idea came to her mind.

After Gao left, Qi Motai played with Fan Jie'er for the whole afternoon, and discussed with Huiyang County Lord about inviting Xing Ge'er and Qi Ge'er to his home for dinner.

As the sun was setting, Qi Motai went out on the pretext of having something to do, but in fact he went to Chu Qing Pavilion to find out the truth.

He was afraid of alerting the enemy, so he did not go into Chu Qing Restaurant. Instead, he found a restaurant nearby and looked out the window quietly.

Outside the door, Jiang Zhaofang, who was also observing, happened to pass by. He knew Qi Motai, so he glanced at Qi Motai's back and called out tentatively, "Brother Qi?"

Qi Motai turned around and asked, "Brother Jiang?"

Jiang Zhaofang walked forward, not knowing why he was here. When he saw Chu Qingguan outside the window, he roughly guessed his intention.

I just don't know why he is also staring at Chu Qingguan?

"I wonder what business you have here, Brother Qi?"

"I heard the food and drinks here are good, come and try it."

"What a coincidence, me too. It's a rare opportunity for us to meet here, so let me treat you to this meal. Come on, serve the food!"

"Then I would rather obey your orders than be respectful."

Qi Motai thought about what Lin Weiqiao said, that Lu Yuxuan had offended Duke Qian's Mansion, so the people who wanted to find out the truth about Lu Yuxuan's fake death the most, besides them, there were also people from Duke Qian's Mansion.

But how did Duke Qian's Mansion know about Chu Qing Pavilion?

As for Jiang Zhaofang, he thought that Qi Motai should know about Lu Yuxuan's fake death, otherwise why would he come to Chu Qingguan?

After many days of investigation, he found that Chu Qingguan was indeed hiding something, and was the eyes and ears of King Jingcheng among the people. If he could follow up on Lu Yuxuan's fake death and find out who King Jingcheng was behind it, then Duke Qian's mansion would have one less powerful enemy.

During the meal, the two of them had their own thoughts.

Jiang Zhaofang sipped sake, constantly analyzing the matter, thinking about how to get some information out of Qi Motai.

He suddenly thought that Qi Motai had not yet married and was still nostalgic for the former wife of the Marquis of Pingrong. The two of them were childhood sweethearts.

He smiled meaningfully and poured a glass of wine for Qi Motai. "I heard a rumor recently. I wonder if Brother Qi has heard of it?"

Qi Motai asked: "What rumors?"

"It's related to Brother Qi. I remember that Brother Qi had a cousin who married the former Pingrong Earl Lu Yuxuan. I heard that the former Pingrong Earl is still alive."

"Oh?"

Qi Motai immediately became alert, not understanding why Jiang Zhaofang suddenly brought up this matter. He was concerned that if this matter became a big deal, it would affect Yu Muyan, so he was cautious again and again.
