I was a housekeeper in ancient times

The Lady of Huiyang County was also willing to strengthen the relationship between the two families, but Yu Muyan fell in love with Lu Yuxuan, whom she had only met once, and was determined to marry him.

In this case, in the eyes of Huiyang County Lord, isn't he just an ungrateful person?

Logically speaking, no matter what difficulties Yu Muyan encountered, she should not ask the Qi family for help. Isn't that shameless?

But she didn't care. It was Yu Muyan who was shameless, not her.

To put it another way, as long as we survive, there is no shame in doing anything.

Huiyang County Lord didn't expect Yu Muyan to send someone to come. She asked calmly, "Mother Lin, what are you doing here? There are so many things going on in the mansion, how can you come out?"

She gritted her teeth and knelt down, "Please, County Master, save my wife."

"What are you doing? What happened to Sister Yan?"

"Ever since Master passed away, everyone has been forcing Madam to commit suicide, regardless of whether Madam is willing or not. Seeing that Madam has been forced into a corner by them, she has already had thoughts of committing suicide..."

"I know this. Sister Yan doesn't want to. Do they still dare to kill her?"

"You know, County Lord, rumors are the most hurtful. They also rely on the will left by the uncle. Madam has no children and no one in her family to support her. They are clearly trying to force her to death. You also know the situation of the Yu family. Today, the old lady even persuaded Madam to commit suicide for the sake of the Yu family."

Now that Madam Qi is living out her days in her hometown and Uncle Qi is working outside, only Lady Huiyang can help.

She was not completely sure that Huiyang County Lord would take action, she just hoped that the other party would help Yu Muyan because of their years of friendship.

"Sister Yan always listens to her mother. As her aunt, what can I do to persuade her?" When Huiyang County Lady said this, her tone was full of sourness.

It would be a lie to say that she was not disappointed. Huiyang County Lady did not have a daughter of her own, and Yu Muyan had always been raised in the Qi family, so she was truly loved. The bad thing was Yu Muyan's subsequent behavior, which really disheartened Huiyang County Lady.

"People have their own biases. Since the madam got married, she has been more inclined towards the Yu family and less inclined towards the Qi family. We all know what you feel in your heart, County Lord."

As she spoke, she tried to figure out Huiyang County Lord's expression. Seeing that his expression had eased a little, she continued, "After this experience, Madam, you finally realized which family your true family belongs to. Although blood is thicker than water, the grace of raising you is greater than heaven, and the grace of giving birth to you is not as good as the grace of raising you."

These words really touched the heart of Huiyang County Lady. What she cared about most was the grace of raising her. She had raised Yu Muyan for so many years, but in the end, she was not as good as a few words of caring from the Yu family. Wasn't this a slap in her face?

Lin Weiqiao, who was kneeling on the ground, felt pain in her knees and stood up silently. "Now that no one is backing up Madam, anyone can bully Madam. I am not only doing this for Madam, but also for your dignity. Everyone knows that you raised Madam. If they bully Madam, isn't it the same as bullying you and the Qi family? Even if you don't want to see the monk's face, you still have to see the Buddha's face."

The Lady of Huiyang County listened to it. No matter how dissatisfied she was with Yu Muyan, she was raised by her family after all. Other matters were fine, but this was a matter of life and death.

Seeing that the sun was setting and the seventh day was about to pass, Yu Muyan had no intention of committing suicide to show her loyalty, and the people in the Bo Mansion and the Lu family began to get anxious.

Even Old Lady Yu and the two girls were anxious, especially Yu Muqin. She was already at marriageable age and was worried about having a hard time finding a husband. She was waiting for Yu Muyan's death to win a good reputation for her family.

Moreover, once Yu Muyan dies, the emperor will definitely reward her handsomely, and it is possible that she will be posthumously conferred an imperial title. By then, she will be the legitimate sister of the imperial lady, so why would she need to worry about her marriage?

Sitting at the head of the table was Madam Lu from the Bo Mansion. She looked to be less than fifty years old due to good maintenance. Although she looked a little tired, her eyes were bright, her eyebrows were long and slender, and she was dressed in simple clothes, yet she was dignified.

From his appearance, you can tell that he is a cunning person.

She glanced at the crowd and looked at the head of the Lu family who was sitting next to her. "Alas, I guess Brother Xuan's daughter-in-law is unwilling. We don't need to force her so hard."

Patriarch Lu was an old and conservative man. "What nonsense is this! Xuan Ge'er has left a will. Is she doing this to make Xuan Ge'er die with regrets? Moreover, she has been married to the Earl's Mansion for many years, but she didn't even leave Xuan Ge'er with a male heir. How dare she live like this?"

As they were talking, Yu Muyan came over despite her sick body. As soon as she came, everyone's eyes were on her.

Before she could even open her mouth, those people came to persuade her again, one sentence after another.

Patriarch Lu slapped the corner of the table and said, "Yu, I have one last question for you. Are you really unwilling? You, do you want Xuan Ge'er to be in trouble over there? Aren't you afraid..."

"mother!"

Yu Muyan's two daughters suddenly ran over and surrounded her crying.

Madam Lu, who was sitting at the head of the table, was impatient and whispered, "Are the nurses and maids eating for free? Why did they let the two girls in? Send them back quickly!"

The two daughters clung to Yu Muyan and refused to leave.

Lin Weiqiao, who followed behind, breathed a sigh of relief. She hurried back from Qi's house and went to the backyard to find the two adopted daughters.

Patriarch Lu continued to pressure Yu Muyan, saying that she had not given birth to a son and that her daughter was useless, trampling on Yu Muyan's dignity.

Lin Weiqiao said silently: "You are right. No matter what the two girls are like, they are still the flesh and blood of the old master. If the old master's spirit in heaven knew that his daughters were said like this, I'm afraid he would feel bad."

After saying that, he winked at Wan Jie'er.

Seeing this, Wan Jieer stood in front of Yu Muyan and said, "Grandpa, Grandma, you let Mom die for her husband's sake, which is not for Mom's or Dad's good. Doing this will only make both Mom and Dad bear the reputation of being unfilial and unkind."

The Lu family had always looked down on this adopted granddaughter, and Old Madam Lu directly winked at Nanny Yang beside her, asking someone to take the two eyesores away.

Wan Jieer dodged and said, "This is in our Lu family, in our uncle's house. As Dad's eldest daughter, can't I even say a word?"

Chief Lu said, "Then tell me how you got the reputation of being unfilial and unkind."

"My grandmother, my grandparents, and my grandfather are still here. I can't be filial to my grandmother without my father. My mother died a martyr's death, so I can't be filial to my grandparents. This is unfilial. Second, my sister and I are still young, and my fourth sister hasn't been found yet. Now that my parents are gone, who will raise us? This is unkind. In our eldest house, there are only three of us sisters. We are my father's flesh and blood. If something happens to us, how can my father's spirit in heaven rest in peace?"

Lin Weiqiao beside her nodded with satisfaction. It turned out that despite her young age, she had a smart brain and could remember her words so clearly, without missing a word.
