I just want to rob you of your luck

Zhou was really scared now. Every year she took several lives. Although they were only the lives of servants, they were still human lives.

She has to save her face and she is even more worried about the impact on her son. If the matter gets out of hand and affects the Crown Prince, it would be a loss.

Jiang Cheng took the initiative to come and tell her about this, which at least showed respect for her and that he still had her in his heart.

She calmed down a little, looked at Lin Jiuer with jealousy, and her eyes turned sad and pitiful when she looked at Jiang Cheng.

"My Lord, we have been married for more than 20 years and have always respected each other. Suddenly, a woman comes between us. I can't accept it for a while.

I have indeed done some foolish things recently. I beg for forgiveness, Lord. Since Jiuer is the daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo, she is naturally qualified to be your co-wife.

I only ask that the Marquis not forget the old one just because he has a new one. Can the Marquis promise me to treat my son and me as before?"

When Jiang Cheng heard what Lin Jiuer said, he was shocked and angry. He didn't expect that Lin Jiuer had suffered so much torture before.

Zhou is so vicious. It seems that she has done this kind of thing many times before when I didn't know about it.

The gentle, dignified, virtuous and generous appearance she had pretended to have in front of him collapsed little by little.

Jiang Cheng looked at Zhou coldly. Now looking at her again, he felt that she was hypocritical and ridiculous.

"Don't worry, as long as you and your son don't cause trouble, I will naturally treat you the same as before."

Anyway, it was no different from separation before.

After saying that, he pulled Lin Jiuer away.

Zhou slumped down in the chair, muttering, "How could this little bitch be so lucky? How could she be the daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo!"

Fortunately, she sent a can of tea with added ingredients over today. As long as she drinks that tea, she will never get pregnant. So what if she becomes a concubine?

Without any offspring, he will be completely suppressed by her in the future.

Jiang Cheng and Lin Jiuer returned to Haitang Courtyard. As soon as he entered the house, Jiang Cheng hugged Lin Jiuer tightly.

"Jiu'er, I really didn't know that you had endured so much torture in the Marquis' Mansion. Don't worry, I will protect you in the future and will never let anyone bully you in the slightest."

Lin Jiuer patted Jiang Cheng's back gently: "It's good that the Marquis knows, but the Marquis didn't know me before, so it's naturally not your fault."

Jiang Cheng couldn't help feeling disgusted when he thought about Zhou relying on his name to bully others.

"From now on, Jiuer will be in charge of the household affairs of the Marquis' Mansion. I don't think Zhou is up to the task."

Lin Jiuer chuckled: "I just found out recently when I followed Steward Tian to look at the account books that our Marquis's house actually has less than 10,000 taels of silver in its account. When I saw that, what would the Marquis have to marry me? Humph!"

Jiang Cheng's body froze. "What? How could this be? In addition to the two shops I gave you, the Marquis' Mansion has seven or eight shops, and there are also several farms that have income. My annual salary is 15,000 taels, plus the annual rewards from His Majesty, how could it be only this much?"

"Then you'll have to ask your good son."

Jiang Cheng thought of his son's days of eating, drinking and having fun with his bad friends over the years, and he immediately understood what was going on. He wanted to rush into his son's room and hang him up and beat him up.

He pulled Lin Jiuer to sit down and said, "Jiuer, don't worry. I have a private vault with some treasures I collected. I will sell a few of them and I will marry you in a grand manner."

Lin Jiuer gently smoothed the wrinkles on Jiang Cheng's brows: "I only want to grow old with the Marquis. If the Marquis treats me well, I will be satisfied. I don't care about material things. The Marquis doesn't have to do this."

Jiang Cheng kissed Lin Jiuer's lips with emotion. When the kiss touched her heart, he carried her to the bedside.

How could he bear to let Jiuer, who was so good, suffer? He would definitely marry her in a grand and glorious way.

The curtains fell, revealing an endless spring scene on the bed. Jiang Cheng's desire, which had been suppressed for several times, was finally released.

When Lin Jiuer woke up, she felt that she had no strength in her body. She didn't know what the old man was crazy about last night. He didn't stop until dawn.

When Yu'er and Qiao'er heard the sound, they hurried in to help Lin Jiuer wash, change clothes, and have breakfast.

Lin Jiuer walked to the desk and drew on the paper for a while, then she called Yuer and Qiaoer over.

"Look, who is this painting of?"

Although the two entered the palace late, they had met Prince Jiang Hai several times.

"Isn't this the prince of our marquis' mansion?" Yu'er said.

Qiao Er also nodded: "He really does look like the prince."

Lin Jiuer gave the portrait to Yuer with great satisfaction.

"Yu'er, go out with A Kuan later. You know Xu Dong, the one who stole my purse yesterday, right?

I asked him to wait in front of the Shifang Tower at 9:00 pm. You give this to him and ask him to identify the person. Then burn the portrait. In the future, ask him to help keep an eye on the prince's movements. Give him ten copper coins each time."

She must depose the prince, otherwise Zhou will always have someone to rely on her, so how can she accomplish her mission?

"Also, can you find a doctor to test this can of tea to see if there is anything fishy going on?"

Yu'er is steady and careful, while Qiao'er is more lively and likes to socialize.

She wanted to slowly train the two of them to become her confidants.

After Yu'er left, Qiao'er said, "Master, you don't know, the main courtyard was very lively last night. I heard that the Madam smashed a lot of valuable porcelain ornaments."

Lin Jiuer chuckled. Qiaoer often went out and had become friends with some of the maids in other courtyards.

I can often find out some gossip.

"Since Zhou likes to smash things, let her smash them. Even though she is the mistress, she only gets a fixed monthly allowance. If one of those things is broken, it will be one less. If she wants to replace them, I have the final say."

Qiao Er thought of something and her face turned red. "Yesterday I met Manager Wu. He asked me to bring a message to you, thanking you for visiting her mother and giving her so much money. He said if you need any help, just let me know."

Lin Jiuer remembered that Wu Gang was now the manager of the flower room, and nodded with a smile: "I see, Qiaoer? Are you hot? Why are you blushing?"

Qiao Er quickly shook her head: "Ah, no, indeed, I feel a little hot."

This maid blushed when she talked about Wu Gang. Is there something going on?

"Do you like Wu Gang?"

Qiao Er said shyly, "I think Manager Wu is very manly."

Lin Jiuer chuckled: "Since you have a good impression of him, the job of going to the flower room will be handed over to you. If you can take down Wu Gang, I will make the decision for you and prepare a dowry for you. How about that?"

Qiao'er was delighted, but she knew that her love for him was unrequited, so she secretly vowed to win over Wu Gang.

"I understand. Thank you for your help, Master."

"I've already told you in advance that you are not allowed to use any despicable means. You have to make him accept you willingly. He is my fellow countryman, and I will not allow anyone to plot against him. Do you understand?"

Qiao Er smiled and said, "Master, rest assured, I know the importance of this matter."

The master and servant were laughing and chatting about gossip when Butler Tian came asking for a meeting.

Lin Jiuer let him in and saw that Butler Tian looked worried.

"Butler Tian, ​​what do you want to talk to me about?"
