I just want to rob you of your luck
Chapter 286: Plundering the Luck of the Marquis's Mistress
As soon as Xia Liu finished speaking, Deng couldn't sit still anymore and slapped him.
"Slut! If you hadn't sworn that you saw Lin and Wu Gang having an affair, I wouldn't have told my mother about it. It turns out that all this was caused by your own jealousy!"
Lin Jiuer looked at Deng and sneered in her heart. This woman was not a good person either. She had no grudge against her, but she wanted to put her to death!
At this time, Xia Liu covered her face with grievance and looked at Deng: "If the Crown Prince's wife hadn't wanted to kill me at will, I wouldn't have been forced into such a desperate situation and framed Lin Jiuer in exchange for a chance to live!"
Jiang Cheng looked at Deng coldly, which scared her.
"Father, please understand. This slave girl is full of nonsense. She doesn't tell the truth. My daughter-in-law is a Buddhist. How could she beat and kill a servant so easily?"
Xia Liu burst into tears and said, "The Crown Prince's Concubine did not intend to kill me before. She just gave me a sterilizing drug and let me die on my own.
I had already given up hope and just wanted to live in peace, but Madam gave you the power of life and death over me.
If you didn't want to kill me, why would I do such a stupid thing? Even rabbits bite when they are angry! "
Deng's face turned pale and blue. She lowered her head and didn't dare to look at her father-in-law. She wished she could cut Xia Liu into pieces!
Jiang Cheng looked at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law coldly, and both of them felt their scalps tingling.
"You two really disappoint me, Zhou, is this how you set an example for your daughter-in-law?"
Jiang Cheng looked apologetically at Nanny Rong who was standing aside watching the fun.
"I'm really sorry to have embarrassed you today. From now on, please teach Madam and the Crown Prince's wife the rules every day. They must strictly follow the palace rules. I will have someone send a thank-you gift to you later."
Nanny Rong smiled faintly, knowing that Marquis Dingyuan wanted to pay her hush money. After all, if this scandal was exposed to the Queen, and the Queen went to His Majesty to persuade him, it would definitely affect His Majesty's good impression of Marquis Dingyuan's Mansion.
"You are too polite, my Lord. Every family has its own problems. I don't need to worry about it. Don't worry, my Lord. I am here at the Queen's order to teach Madam Hou the rules, and I will do my best!"
Jiang Cheng nodded gratefully, and then looked at the housekeeper Tian beside him: "Have you got the keys to the warehouse of the mansion's counter account books?"
Steward Tian glanced at Madam Hou with some embarrassment and said, "I went to get it, but Madam said she was busy learning the rules, so she hasn't come yet, so remember to give it to me."
Jiang Cheng looked at Zhou and said, "I think Madam really doesn't have time to manage the household. She needs to learn some rules. Madam, please hand the things over to Butler Tian now. Also, let Lin learn how to manage the household from Butler Tian in the future."
Zhou looked at Jiang Cheng in disbelief: "My Lord! How can you let a concubine run the household? Wouldn't it be a joke if people told others about it? Aren't you afraid that others would say you favor your concubine over your wife?"
Deng was also somewhat dissatisfied. Zhou could no longer manage the household, but there was still the Crown Prince's Consort. When would it be the turn of a concubine to manage the household?
Jiang Cheng sneered, "Madam, are you afraid of being laughed at now? Why did you catch the adulterer with such fanfare just now? Aren't you afraid that if it gets out, I will be laughed at?"
"The reputation of Dingyuan Marquis's Mansion and this Marquis has long been lost to you and your son. What else should this Marquis be afraid of?"
Although Zhou looked embarrassed, she still looked reluctant to hand over the household expenses.
Jiang Cheng was really disappointed to see that Zhou was still so stubborn. Although he didn't like Zhou, he always thought that she was gentle and generous, and she didn't make him worry about the affairs of the mansion.
He didn't expect that his negligence would allow the mansion to become so corrupt. If Zhou continued to manage it, the family business he had worked so hard to build might be destroyed by this mother and son at any time.
"Why don't you hand the things over to Butler Tian quickly?" Jiang Cheng finally became impatient.
Zhou was frightened by Jiang Cheng's roar and knew that she could no longer go against Jiang Cheng.
With red eyes, she ordered Xia He to take Butler Tian to get the mansion's account books and warehouse keys.
Jiang Cheng walked to Lin Jiuer and helped her untie the rope on her hand. Seeing a circle of red marks on her fair wrist, there was some pity in his eyes.
Lin Jiuer acted as if she was forbearing and obedient: "Don't worry, my lord. I am fine. It's just that Wu Gang was beaten with thirty boards. It's really unjust. I beg you to find a doctor to treat him properly."
Jiang Cheng looked at Lin Jiuer deeply, then ordered the guards in the mansion to carry Wu Gang to the mansion doctor for proper treatment.
He pulled Lin Jiuer out of the main courtyard without even looking at Zhou. Zhou stared at Lin Jiuer's back, wishing she could stare a hole through him.
She felt very bitter in her heart. Recently, because of Lin Jiuer, the Marquis had become increasingly distant from her. She was anxious, angry and helpless.
This incident today not only failed to bring Lin Jiuer down, but also made her husband dislike her.
Thinking of this, she looked at Deng with coldness in her eyes. She shouldn't have been nice to this daughter-in-law. It was she who harmed her this time.
Deng was so frightened that she dared not say a word. She saw that she and her mother-in-law had already reconciled, but she didn't expect that Xia Liu's behavior would make the relationship between her mother-in-law and father-in-law even worse.
He hated Xia Liu even more in his heart.
At this moment, Xia Liu has returned to normal. She was conscious of everything that happened just now. She didn't expect that her body would suddenly be out of control and she spoke out what was in her heart.
She knelt on the ground with no one paying attention to her, but she could still feel the murderous gaze of Deng above her head.
At this time, Nanny Rong said in a gentle voice: "Since the Marquis has asked me to teach Madam and the Crown Prince's Consort the rules, shall we start? I hope you two will study hard, otherwise you will not be able to report if the Marquis checks on you."
Zhou and Deng responded helplessly. Although this person was a servant, she was a servant of the queen and no one dared to offend her.
The two of them could only hold their noses and follow Nanny Rong to learn.
As daughters of officials, how could Zhou and Deng not know these basic rules? They knew that Jiang Cheng did this on purpose to punish them.
Jiang Cheng took Lin Jiuer back to Haitang Courtyard and personally applied medicine on her wrist.
"I'm sorry to have wronged you today."
Lin Jiuer took the initiative to snuggle into Jiang Cheng's arms: "With the Marquis protecting me, I don't feel wronged."
Jiang Cheng lifted her chin with his hand, looked into her eyes and asked seriously, "Are you and that Wu Gang really just from the same hometown?"
Lin Jiuer instantly performed a three-second cry: "My Lord, did you believe what the Madam said? Do you doubt me? I swear to the heavens that I have no private feelings for Wu Gang. If I am lying, I will be struck by lightning and die miserably!"
Jiang Cheng quickly held Lin Jiuer's hand as she swore, "When did I say I didn't believe you? I'm just asking you one question. Okay, let's not talk about this anymore."
"Starting tomorrow, you will follow Butler Tian to learn how to manage the household, how about that?"
