As expected, when the old lady heard that she was going to back out, she compromised:

"No, no, rules are dead, but people are alive. Besides, the three-year mourning period is coming soon. It won't affect marriage. It's just that I have been living alone for too long, so I am a little uncomfortable for a while."

At this time, Jiang also quickly chimed in:

"Mother said, you should wear what you want, sister-in-law."

"Yes, the most important thing is that the boss can come out as soon as possible."

After mumbling something, the old lady recalled something and asked:

"By the way, you just mentioned something important, a casino? What was it?"

Those targeted by Yutian Pavilion, no matter who they are or what they have, will not be well off. The imperial court will not have any new policies to rectify the casinos again! If they just closed it down and asked for money, it would be fine. This requires accountability.

The old lady couldn't even imagine the consequences.

When she thought that Ling Yuchi was still in prison and that there was no one in the court who could keep track of the situation, she felt dizzy and a layer of cold sweat broke out on her back.

"This daughter-in-law has only listened to a little bit, and has already been investigating the area, as if she wants to check every place one by one. I really don't know what they are going to do."

"However, I don't know whether it was intentional or not, but he reminded his subordinates in front of me, 'Tell my family to stay away from that place recently', and he even looked at me..."

This is the rough impression she has in her memory. Mu Lianzhi is actually not sure when this happened, what the purpose was, or whether it was a full-scale search or just a check on the gambling house. But none of that matters, as long as she can use it for her benefit.

So what she said was vague and to the point.

After looking at each other, the old lady and Jiang Shi became a little restless. They hurriedly responded with a few words and prepared to leave. As they passed by each other, the old lady saw the obvious purple marks on Mu Lianzhi's chest-length skirt, and her face suddenly darkened.

It's immoral and shameless!

The land of a small family is really not worthy of being shown on the stage.

The old lady frowned and was about to reprimand him, but Jiang gently pulled her sleeve. Their eyes met, and she changed her words the moment she opened her mouth:

"Okay, no need to send me off. I'll have someone send you some more clothes later. Also, don't forget that you belong to the Marquis' Mansion. We all rise together and fall together! No matter where you are, be careful about your clothes and appearance, so as not to embarrass yourself and bring shame to the Marquis' Mansion!"

"The mother taught her daughter-in-law, and she remembered it."

Crouching down, Mu Lianzhi watched the two figures disappear from her sight. Her gaze slowly stopped in front of her. Looking at the scabbed scar on her chest tattoo, she couldn't help but sneer:

"Ha~"

They force a good woman into prostitution, eat her flesh and drink her blood to maintain a good appearance. They are rotten to the core, but they still stand on the moral high ground and despise her. What kind of family is this?

What a double standard!

One day, she would let them have a taste of this.

His gaze fell back on the black and red tattoo on his body, and Mu Lianzhi whispered a few words into Chunmiao's ear.

……

On the other side, back at Fudeyuan, Old Lady Ling was so angry that she slammed the Buddhist beads on the table:

"She is such a shameless bitch. If she had any sense of shame, she would have died long ago. She would never do such a thing!"

"It's a misfortune for the family~"

"Fortunately my son is not here and it's not true, otherwise the eight generations of the Marquis's ancestors would be disgraced by her."

"I've never seen anything like this..."

Before the old lady could even utter the word "hard life", she was interrupted by Jiang:

"Mother, be careful what you say."

She took the teacup from the old nanny and handed it over. Then, she waved her hand and sent the maid away:

"Calm down. Why would you be angry with an 'outsider'? It's not worth it to get yourself hurt by being angry."

There are some things that you cannot talk about even if they are laid out in the open, not to mention knowing them in your heart!

The younger son is not dead, and the two of them are fine. They still have to rely on that woman. I really don't know why she is being so pretentious here.

She sneered in her heart, but on the surface, Jiang still had a flattering smile:

"As the old saying goes, it's never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Mother, if you really can't swallow this anger, I can visit a famous doctor in a few days and get you some more life-extending medicine."

The old lady was just impulsive, and when she heard this, the wrinkles on her face relaxed:

"You are still smart and filial."

With Beitang Yi, the evil star, around, she couldn't do anything to him for the time being, so what was the point of cursing the couple in her heart? "Medicine lead" was different.

The best way to relieve her hatred!

"Mother, there is a Ministry of Justice next to the gambling house. What do you think? Are you really going to just sit there and wait for more than a month and do nothing?"

Putting down the teacup, the old lady picked up the Buddhist beads on the table:

"Who is perfect in life? Fortunately, it was not used on the battlefield and did not cause any major damage. The boss's mistake is not a big deal."

"We are a neutral party. Being loyal to the Crown Prince means being loyal to His Majesty. However, the Dowager Concubine has a deep connection with the Fourth Prince, which is exactly as I expected. Even if he pretends to be so, he cannot escape imprisonment. Just treat it as a lesson for him."

"As long as we can save the people and get them out, that's fine."

"Not all officials are the same. Since we've given you a time limit, let's just keep an eye on it and wait and see what happens. As for the gambling house—"

After thinking for a while, the old lady paused while twisting her Buddhist beads:

"It's better to believe that it exists than to believe that it doesn't exist."

"Go and ask Lao Chen to go there in person. Tell him not to show up for a month. If the business can be suspended, it will be stopped. If there is any mistake at this time and someone catches them or both of them go to jail, the three years of hard work of the Marquisate will be wasted."

"Money is earned endless."

Before she could say anything, she was stopped by the old lady's last words. Her flesh was bleeding in pain, but Jiang could only nod her head:

"Yes, I'll do it right away."

She turned around and went to find the housekeeper.

The two of them whispered to each other, and the butler called a carriage and hurried out. Neither of them noticed that there was a black shadow following them intermittently like the wind.

……

On this day, Mu Lianzhi was either digesting her memories or getting familiar with various people and things.

After a tasteless lunch, she understood everything after the whole process, but she was just about to curse in her heart.

In the whole mansion, her courtyard is the most remote, miserable and least noticeable.

For three years, she had a small kitchen but had to make do with her food, clothing, housing and transportation. Most of her expenses, even the monthly wages of her servants, came from the dowry subsidies she paid from time to time.

After three years, Dou is now cleaner than his face.

No wonder a kitchen servant dared to give her a cold look!

She doesn't run away when there's a trap, she spends money recklessly, and she doesn't know how to hold on to a powerful woman. She's rich and pretty, she doesn't have a legal man to tie her up to, and she has a super cool little lover to protect her. She has a hand of ace cards, but she beats it to pieces!

How did this wretched widow get such a script and end up like this?

She was screwed.

Mu Lianzhi fiddled with a bouquet of flowers on the table and looked at Leng Yun behind him:

"Yun'er, is there any way to get rid of a person quickly without arousing suspicion or getting your hands dirty?"
