I was a housekeeper in ancient times

Old Madam Lu's face was so ugly that she didn't dare to respond to what Huiyang County Lord said. Wasn't this a big trap waiting for the Lu family to jump into?

If Yu Muyan was really allowed to commit suicide, then according to the other party, wouldn't it mean that Lu Yuxuan was heartless and deliberately forced his wife and made his daughters suffer, making him a heartless and ungrateful person?

Nowadays, the Pingrong Marquisate is supported by the Marquis Lu Yuxuan, and everyone in the Marquisate is waiting for Lu Yuxuan's death so that they can gain a good reputation and attract the emperor's mercy and grant more gifts to allow the second branch to inherit the title.

If Lu Yuxuan's reputation is ruined and the news gets out and reaches the court, it will be more trouble than gain.

Everyone present heard the hidden meaning in Huiyang County Lady's words, but no one dared to respond. However, Mrs. Ding was so confused that she didn't realize this.

Strike while the iron is hot, Huiyang County Lord did not give the Lu family a chance to think, and helped Yu Muyan and others who were kneeling on the ground.

Seeing this, Lin Weiqiao hurried over to support him. Finally, it was her turn to act.

"Sister Yan is concerned about Xuan'er, so she will not remarry. She will only focus on raising Xuan'er's children. This is also an explanation to Xuan'er and the Bo Mansion. As for Xuan'er's last words, I think Sister Yan will abide by them. After a hundred years, your Lu family will bury them together. This is the best way."

When the Lu family heard this, they looked as if they had eaten a fly and all of them looked embarrassed.

Especially Mrs. Ding, if she hadn't been held down by the maid beside her, she might have made a fuss.

The Lord of Huiyang County even added, "Such a simple truth, has no one among you thought of it? You must let Sister Yan die for her husband and leave the sisters without a mother. But then again, how did you think of letting Sister Yan die for her husband now? If someone who doesn't know the truth hears it, they will think that your Lu family has caused a family scandal and you want to deprive your title."

The last sentence was like a sharp blade, successfully killing the greed of the Lu family.

If the occasion had not allowed it, Lin Weiqiao would have really wanted to applaud. No wonder she could only wear it on an old woman.

If she were to be Lady Huiyang, she might not be as eloquent and direct as others, she would only use her status to pressure others.

It's a pity that she has no identity now and is just a background board. She has to call for help at critical moments.

But it's not that she is useless, it's just that she doesn't even have the qualifications to speak.

After returning to Shuangxixiyuan, Huiyang County Lord felt distressed when he saw how miserable Yu Muyan and her daughter were. However, he still had to say a few words, for he was afraid that Yu Muyan could not handle the situation.

"It's just that we took such good care of you before you got married that you didn't know that people are treacherous and you couldn't gain a foothold. But you are soft-hearted and easily influenced by others. I have warned you before, but you didn't take it to heart."

Huiyang County Lord was thirsty from talking, so he took a few sips of tea and continued, "But now, I am telling you this for the last time. It's up to you to think what you want. Without Xuan'er, there are only you and your daughter in this house. As long as you are not stupid, you will know what the Lu family is thinking. You don't have to worry about anything for now. Just close the door, live a good life, and raise a few girls to adulthood is the serious matter."

Yu Muyan listened in a daze, not knowing whether she hadn't recovered from her shock or what, but tears welled up in her eyes and she remained silent for a long while.

This made Lin Weiqiao extremely anxious, and she hurriedly said, "Don't worry, my lord. Madam has seen through a lot after this incident. If it weren't for this incident, who would have known that the Lu family would have such a wolfish ambition."

Huiyang County Lord nodded, and then said to Yu Muyan: "You are still young, and it is hard for you to experience such a thing. But no matter how hard it is, you have to be sober. You are a mother now, not a daughter who is pampered in the boudoir. I will tell your uncle about this and put pressure on the Lu family. If they dare to force you to die for their loyalty again, they will be in trouble!"

Lin Weiqiao secretly pulled Yu Muyan's sleeve hard, and Yu Muyan came to her senses and thanked her repeatedly.

Perhaps it was because of the comparison with Old Lady Yu, Yu Muyan felt the care from her relatives and couldn't help but burst into tears. She pulled Huiyang County Lady, thanked her repeatedly, and talked about how ignorant she was before.

This scene, not to mention Huiyang County Lord, even Lin Weiqiao herself was deeply moved. Her master could still be saved, and she still had a future with him.

Not wanting to interrupt their reminiscing, she pulled the two girls out and gave them to Chunqing to take back.

As night fell, lights were turned on everywhere in the mansion and the maids and servants were busy replacing the white lanterns with red ones.

After tonight, the funeral will be over, and the funeral will be held tomorrow morning. From now on, there will be no Uncle Lu Yuxuan in this Earl's Mansion, and the head of the family will be Lady Yu Muyan.

After a whole day of trouble, I can’t guarantee anything else, but at least Yu Muyan won’t commit suicide. As long as she is still alive, there is still hope.

Lin Weiqiao patted her old waist and returned to her room in the lower courtyard. She also had a room in the Shuangxi Courtyard, which was convenient for serving Yu Muyan, but the room was not big and was usually used for night watch.

The rooms in the servants' courtyard are more spacious, and all my belongings and jewelry are stored here.

As soon as she came back, she asked Xiaohan to go to the kitchen to get food.

As Yu Muyan's first-class housemother, apart from those with status in the mansion, she is the boss and has the right to order the maids and old women around, which makes her half a master.

This was probably the only comfort she had ever experienced.

She looked around the room. It was simple and plain, with a round table and a few soft stools, a few worthless ornaments on the wooden shelf, a carved wardrobe next to the bed, and a few boxes containing various sundries.

Relying on the original owner's memory, she rummaged through boxes and found an old but precious pomegranate wood box.

She opened it with great anticipation, and wow, there were just a few strings of copper coins, five or six pieces of silver, a red-gold hairpin, a pearl and jade hairpin, a few worthless silver hairpins, three silver rings, a pair of gold earrings, two engraved silver bracelets, two land deeds, and a house deed.

There was also a lotus sachet. When I opened it, I found a red jade ring and a white jade peace locket.

"She's just a concubine after all, and you only have this much property? Isn't that right?"

She was very puzzled. Yu Muyan was not short of money. After all, the dowry she brought was enough to support the whole family of the Bo family. As a concubine, she would not be rich, but at least she would not be as embarrassed as she is now, right?

After all, I have been a slave for more than ten or twenty years, and I am not a lowly maid. How can I...

"Mom, it's time to eat." Xiaohan came with the food, which was much better than the last meal. But, it was not right.

There was a bowl of glutinous rice, half a steamed chicken with wine, the chicken legs still torn off, a plate of stir-fried pork with bamboo shoots, a plate of fried meatballs, a plate of tofu, and half a bowl of duck soup.

It sounds good, but it looks like the leftovers of someone who picked it up.

She frowned, "What's going on? Who touched my food? My wife is still here, I'm not dead yet!"

Xiaohan was honest, so she knew it wasn't Xiaohan who did it, so she asked, "Was it done by someone in the kitchen? They even dared to cut my food!"
