I was a housekeeper in ancient times

Unfortunately, in such a big occasion, it was not her turn as a servant to speak and she could only listen.

She knew that Yu Muyan was a weak person. It was impressive of her not to cry when being told to do so. As for talking back and refutation, she should leave it to the children.

It must be said that although Wan Jie'er was adopted, she was raised by Yu Muyan in a proper way. She can distinguish right from wrong and is smart, which can come in handy at critical moments.

These words stunned the Lu family members present. They looked at each other in bewilderment. No one had expected that a little girl could speak so eloquently. In fact, she slapped them in the face.

Wan Jieer continued, "Also, the elders asked our mother to die for her husband, so we three sisters became orphans without a father or a mother. Aren't the elders the murderers of us sisters? Although we are daughters, we are also legitimate daughters of the Pingrong Marquis's mansion."

These words made everyone present bear the blame for murdering someone.

The crowd could no longer sit still and became restless.

Mrs. Ding from the second room was furious. "Wanjie, what nonsense are you talking about? Who wants to harm you?"

Wan Jie'er looked innocent, "The one who asked mother to die for her husband is trying to harm us, an orphan and a widow. Without mother, we will have no home. Then, Second Aunt will have to raise us. Please don't treat us harshly, Second Sister. We promise not to steal anything from Second Sister."

Ding paused and said nothing in dismay.

Yu Muyan felt bitter when she heard Wan Jie'er say this. Others advised her to think about the Bo Mansion and her natal family, but no one advised her to think about her three daughters.

The Bo family had always looked down upon her three daughters. If she really died a martyr, how could her daughters have a place to stand? Would the Bo family and the Yu family treat them well?

After Lu Yuxuan's death, her heart was wavering. She was sad and upset, and thought it would be better to die together with him so that they wouldn't have to suffer so much.

Now thinking about it, she was too selfish. The three children were still young, and Sister Fan had not been found yet. If she really left, who would find Sister Fan? Who would raise them?

"Mother, clan leader, husband and wife are one. My husband is gone, and he left a will. Logically, I should go with him. But my sisters are still young, and I can't abandon them."

Madam Lu's mouth twitched, and she lowered her voice, revealing dissatisfaction in her tone, "You mean, you think we will treat Wanjie and the others harshly? As a grandmother, will I ignore them?"

Yu Muyan knelt on the ground with her two daughters, "That's not what my daughter-in-law meant..."

Lin Weiqiao's eyes darkened, thinking how could Yu Muyan's fighting ability be so weak, not even as good as Wan Jie'er's free play. With just a casual remark, Yu Muyan became weak.

At this time, a voice came from outside the door: "No matter how close the grandmother is, she still has to have a biological mother. I didn't even know that the rule of the Pingrong Marquis's mansion is to persuade the daughter-in-law to die and leave the granddaughter without a mother."

Seeing the person coming, Lin Weiqiao breathed a sigh of relief. It was a good thing that he came.

Now, she just had to wait and watch the show, and learn from the other person's momentum so that she could have arguments with him in the future.

Because Lady Huiyang was a member of the royal family, her husband and son both held important positions in the court, and her in-laws were prominent, her overall status was higher than that of the Earl's family.

Not to mention that Lu Yuxuan, the only person with a title and an official position in the Earl's Mansion, is dead, so the Earl's Mansion is just an empty shell.

When Old Lady Yu saw the Lady of Huiyang County coming, she immediately stood up, standing like a quail, and called out in a cowardly voice, "Sister-in-law."

Lady Huiyang was too lazy to agree. She didn't have a sister so stupid as to persuade her daughter to die.

Old Madam Lu also stood up and said calmly, "Why is the county lady here? Today is our Lu family's..."

The Lord of Huiyang County was too lazy to put on a show and said directly: "You don't welcome me? It's reasonable to not welcome me. I heard that you want to force Sister Yan to die for her husband?"

"We didn't force him. This was Xuan Ge'er's last words. We didn't want Xuan Ge to leave with regrets. Even the court knows about this, and they are all waiting to see how our Bo's Mansion will handle this matter."

"What a joke! Are you saying that the imperial court is forcing Sister Yan to die?"

"no……"

"Xuan Ge'er died for the court. Yan Jie'er is Xuan Ge'er's widow. The court doesn't even respect her enough. Why would they force Yan Jie'er to die for her? I'll ask Yan Jie'er's uncle to ask the court another day and get an explanation."

Madam Lu was really speechless and threw the question to Madam Yu, "My mother-in-law also agreed."

Old Madam Yu has always been afraid of her sister-in-law, and she feebly defended herself, "I, I am doing this for Sister Yan's good, and for the good of our Yu family."

The Lord of Huiyang County was so impatient, "Letting Sister Yan die for her loyalty is for the good of Sister Yan and the Yu family? I have never heard of such a theory. Can you explain it to me?"

Lin Weiqiao was so happy to see this. After traveling for quite some time, she finally felt proud.

She also couldn't understand how Yu Muyan could have been raised by such a decisive and resolute aunt, Lady Huiyang, to be so cowardly and afraid to resist. It made people anxious just by looking at her.

But how could a mother like Mrs. Yu give birth to smart children?

Old Madam Lu looked embarrassed and frowned. She couldn't understand. Yu Muyan had rarely interacted with the Qi family since she got married, so why did the Lord of Huiyang County come to her house in person to lend a hand?

She had the advantage that the Yu family was not as well-off as the Bo family, and no one in the Yu family supported Yu Muyan, so she dared to put pressure on Yu Muyan unscrupulously together with her clansmen.

Coincidentally, Mrs. Yu thought so too.

Who would have thought that the Lord of Huiyang County would suddenly appear along the way.

Even the head of the Lu clan had nothing to say. He was older than the others in the Lu family, but Lady Huiyang was not a member of the Lu family, but a member of the royal family. He tactfully did not interrupt.

Ding couldn't sit still. She had planned everything with great difficulty. Lu Yuxuan was dead, and the first wife had no male heir. She was just waiting for Yu Muyan to die for her husband. Then the entire title and family property of the Earl's Mansion would fall into the hands of the second wife.

As long as Yu Muyan is alive, there will be no place for the second house.

She said anxiously: "Sister-in-law, you can't just think about your own family, you have to think about the Bo family. If you don't die for your loyalty, outsiders will just think you are afraid of death..."

Before she could finish her words, Huiyang County Lord gave her a sharp look, "What are you talking about? Why don't I understand? Who is not afraid of death? My sister Yan did nothing wrong. Besides, Xuan'er's last words, living together and dying together, do you understand the meaning of this?"

"Why don't you understand? Isn't it just that we cover ourselves with the same quilt during life and share the same grave after death?"

"Did Xuan Ge'er say that he wanted Yan Jie'er to die with him? Doesn't this mean that he hopes that Yan Jie'er and he will be buried together in the same tomb after a hundred years? Xuan Ge'er and Yan Jie'er are a loving couple, how could Xuan Ge'er be willing to let Yan Jie die with him? Wan Jie'er and the others are young, how could Xuan Ge'er be willing to let his children be without a mother?"

Mrs. Ding wanted to refute again, but was frightened by a look from Mrs. Lu.
