I was a housekeeper in ancient times

Madam Lu's face relaxed, as if she was about to be proud, and her tone became a little tougher. "This Taoist nun Yuguang is a Taoist master from the Shangqing Taoist Temple. I specially invited her here for Sister Fan's matter."

Taoist nun Yuguang continued, "I came to visit the fourth young lady when she was 100 days old. At that time, I looked at her birth date and time. She was born at a bad time. She was destined to be lonely and have bad luck with her relatives, and she is prone to disasters. At that time, I advised the old lady to send the fourth young lady to the temple to ward off evil spirits and disasters. The old lady took pity on the young fourth young lady and she was the eldest lady's first daughter, so she naturally didn't want to let her go and kept her until now."

After hearing this, Yu Muyan and others became angry. Yu Muyan wanted to refute, but was stopped by Huiyang County Lord, who gave her a look, signaling Yu Muyan to calm down.

At this moment, Lin Weiqiao, who was standing at the back, experienced firsthand the so-called house fight, which was far more complicated and terrifying than she had imagined.

I originally thought that Madam Lu was cruel for hiding Sister Fan and replacing Yu Muyan's son.

Unexpectedly, in order to clear herself of the evil deeds she had done, Mrs. Lu actually asked someone to spread rumors that Sister Fan was her nemesis.

In this age, everyone is superstitious to some extent.

Regardless of whether it is true or false, when a little girl is labeled as a nemesis, even if she is born in a wealthy family, she will inevitably be criticized, and this label will follow her throughout her life.

It is easy for them to ruin a girl. If they are older, they can spread rumors that she has an affair with a man outside her family. If they are younger, they can spread rumors that she was born in an unlucky way and is unfavorable to the family.

In this way, no matter how outstanding the girl is, she will be shrouded in ominous veil and everyone will avoid her.

Lin Weiqiao took a deep breath, and it turned out that the older you are, the wiser you are.

In terms of tactics and strategies, no one in the room could be as cunning as Madam Lu.

Madam Lu looked at Yu Muyan and the others with a deep gaze, and when she saw that they didn't say anything, she smiled triumphantly.

Nun Yuguang continued, "But the fourth girl is destined to bring misfortune to her relatives. If she continues to stay with you, it will bring disaster to others. I have repeatedly advised the old lady to send the fourth girl away, otherwise there will be a bloody disaster in the mansion. The old lady thought about it again and again, and finally decided to send the fourth girl away. The old lady knew that the first lady would definitely not allow it, so she secretly hid the fourth girl somewhere else."

Madam Lu continued, "I wanted to wait until this period of time had passed before bringing Sister Fan back, but I never thought you would find her ahead of time. No matter how you speculate about me, I am doing this for the good of the Bo Mansion. This is just a misunderstanding, so just make it clear. The Hu family also helped us with good intentions, so please be kind and let them go, it's all a misunderstanding."

The Lady of Huiyang County was enlightened. She grew up in a royal family and thought she had seen all kinds of intrigues and deceptions, but Madam Lu's behavior was really beyond her expectations.

Putting aside other things, Sister Fan is Madam Lu’s legitimate granddaughter in name only, how dare she do that!

She sneered a few times, thinking that she could get away with it by just finding a Taoist nun to make up an excuse. She was not so stupid that she could not even deal with this trick.

"What the old lady meant was that Sister Fan and the Bo family were incompatible, so she sent Sister Fan away and didn't let Sister Yan know, right?"

"Well, it's not that I made up a rumor or caused trouble on purpose, but you see Xuan Ge'er is so young... I really have to believe it. If I had sent Fan Jie'er away earlier, maybe Xuan Ge'er wouldn't..."

"The old lady is really thoughtful. She even linked Xuan'er's death to Fan'er."

"Your Highness has misunderstood me. I didn't mean that. I just regret not listening to Taoist Nun Yuguang's advice and sending Sister Fan away earlier. How could our Lu family have fallen to this point?"

Yu Muyan couldn't sit still any longer, her eyes were filled with anger, "Old Madam, you..."

Huiyang County Lord gently patted Yu Muyan's arm and said calmly, "The old lady really has good intentions for the Bo Mansion. However, the old lady can explain it clearly to the Hu family, but she is unwilling to say a word to Sister Yan. If Sister Fan's fate is really different, Sister Yan has always been sensible and would not allow it. Moreover, the Hu family has repeatedly said that it was the old lady who asked them to hide Sister Fan and not to see strangers. This is very suspicious."

Madam Lu was anxious to ask the Qi family to release the person. "There is nothing suspicious about it. Maybe there is some misunderstanding. Please release the fifth master of the Hu family. If there is any problem, we will ask him in person to avoid hurting the relationship between relatives. Also, we have to consider Sister Fan's reputation. You don't want outsiders to know that Sister Fan is destined to be alone, right?"

At this point, Madam Lu's intention couldn't be more obvious. She wanted to use Sister Fan's reputation as a threat to force the Qi family to release Master Hu Wu and not pursue the matter any further.

When people are extremely speechless, they will laugh.

Huiyang County Lady laughed, and Lin Weiqiao laughed too.

Sure enough, if a person has no shame, he will be invincible.

The scene suddenly became outrageous and absurd.

Ding had not expected that Madam Lu had another trick up her sleeve. She finally let go of her worries and picked up the teacup, slowly savoring the tea. The tea had a rich aroma and she knew it was top-grade tea at the first sniff.

She has to be the eldest wife. She couldn't even bear to drink such top-quality tea herself, but she still used it to entertain guests. She really has a wealthy family.

We both have the surname Lu, so why is the second wife not as wealthy as the first wife?

Madam Lu successfully reversed the situation with her own means. Now it is the eldest wife who should be anxious and worried. She looked at Yu Muyan meaningfully, "Sister Fan is still young, and she can't bear such a reputation."

Huiyang County Lord lazily stood up and straightened his clothes, "There are more girls in the Bo's Mansion than just Sister Fan, right?"

When Mrs. Ding heard this, her heart skipped a beat. "What does the county lord mean by this?"

"I don't mean anything else. There's a saying that goes, give someone a taste of their own medicine. Today you can say that Sister Fan is unlucky, and tomorrow we can use the same excuse on your second daughter."

"County Lord, you!"

Ding became anxious and stood up suddenly, almost losing her composure.

Huiyang County Lord only glanced at Ding calmly and said, "We are all parents. We must consider our children in everything and not act rashly. Don't you agree, old lady?"

This move was beyond Lin Weiqiao's expectations. The battle between Huiyang County Lord and Old Madam Lu could be said to be a battle between masters.

The Lady of Huiyang County was quick to react. She did not dwell on the bad luck in Sister Fan's fate. Instead, she adhered to the principle of an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth and outwitted Madam Lu!

Madam Lu's face twitched, her breathing suddenly became rapid, a fierce look appeared in her eyes, and her hands were clenched into fists, revealing blue veins.

She didn't expect that Huiyang County Lord would rather suffer losses than give in.
