The lady of Chongxi has supernatural powers and is favored by the powerful official

The old marquis' wife then panicked.

Her son was there too? Did he hear what the brat just said?

The old marquis's wife rolled her eyes twice in anger and fell backwards.

"Don't keep trying to scare me with your fainting. I'm telling you, even if you die, I won't have to mourn for you. Do you believe me? But the same may not be true for your son."

The old marquis's wife burst into tears. What a sin she had committed!

After a long pause, he said something soft:

"I didn't have anyone beat up your bride. She smashed my things. You can't, you can't lock me up!"

Nangong Yu smiled coldly and said:

"If I don't lock you up, this Changyong Marquis Mansion will end with the Marquis."

"Do you know why other people's sons are proposed to be married when they are only fourteen or fifteen years old, but Nangong Xuan, whom you hold in high esteem, has no one from an aristocratic family proposing marriage?"

"Because they will check your background. The older ones know how you married my grandfather. And how did Xiao Zhu enter the Nangong family? What is Zhu's status, but she is the head of the Nangong Marquis family. Any family with a little education, knowledgeable and polite will not marry their daughters to our family. If you don't believe it, just wait and see!"

"Not only can your grandson not marry a decent woman from a wealthy family, your granddaughter can't marry a good family either."

"You hate my grandfather for marrying my mother to the Marquis, but you don't know his painstaking efforts! Because your stepmother never taught you these things. She only told you to learn how to take charge and remember that the Zhu family is your support, so she asked you to continue to support the Zhu family."

"But what did you get? The Zhu family just kept forcing you to ask for money and things, but what did they give you? Even your biological mother died not long after you married into the Marquis's mansion. Do you really think she died of a difficult labor and hemorrhage?"

"You think I don't know that the midwife you sent over on the day my mother gave birth to me was the one your stepmother gave you, right? That midwife sent your biological mother away. It's a pity that you didn't expect that there was Nanny Yang by my mother's side."

When Nangong Yu said this, Madam Hou stood up again in shock. Nanny Yang calmly pulled her to sit down again and said softly:

"That midwife has some medicine in her hand. If she applies it into the woman's body during childbirth, she will bleed profusely and die in a manner similar to a hemorrhage."

"When you gave birth to Yu Ge'er, I was there and would never let another midwife get close to you. I just don't know how Yu Ge'er knew all this."

Mrs. Hou felt cold all over. She never expected that she had passed away in the Hall of Yama twenty years ago.

"But you didn't tell me about this?"

"My uncle told me not to tell you, for fear that you would be angry. Later, the East Courtyard lived its own life, and they could not intervene."

The Marquis felt cold all over when he heard this. So, there was such a thing on the day when Xie gave birth to Yu'er? And he had no idea about it.

No wonder Yu'er is becoming more and more cold towards me!

The old marquis's wife sat up again when she heard this and asked Nangong Yu in surprise:

"What did you say? My biological mother..."

She remembered that after she married into the Changyong Marquis's Mansion, her stepmother and father treated her biological mother better, so her biological mother became pregnant again when she was in her thirties.

But when she got the news that her biological mother had a difficult delivery and died, her stepmother was so angry that she fainted and was seriously ill for half a month.

At that time, the lady of the Changyong Marquis's Mansion reminded her to inquire more and ask more people how her biological mother died when she returned.

But she...she thought her mother-in-law was trying to sow discord between her and her natal family!

What if what Yuer said is true?

The old marquis’ wife was shaking with anger. She didn’t even dare to think about what she had done in the past few decades.

She didn't even need to check whether it was true or not, because she remembered that the midwife was indeed given to her by her stepmother.

Nangong Yu said coldly:

"Did your stepmother teach you the same things she taught her daughter? Think about your stepmothers, they all got things from their mother's home, but you are the only one who moved back to your mother's home from your husband's home. You don't love their mothers, why do you want to love them?"

"Grandfather advised you, but you thought he wanted to alienate you from the other families. Later, he stopped caring about you and just took the assets of the Marquis Changyong's Mansion out of the inner house and managed it himself."

"In the past twenty years, my mother and I have never used a cent from this mansion, but you have allocated a lot of money to us from the accounts of your inner house. You have taken all this money back to the Zhu family, right?"

The old marquis's wife lay on the bed, tears streaming down her face.

For a moment, she didn't know whether she was right or wrong.

The marquis who was sitting in the outer room could no longer listen.

It's been twenty years, and he just realized some things.

I didn't expect that my mother and Zhu Xinlan would manage the household like this. I also didn't expect that my mother would actually lay a hand on Xie Qingrou.

Nangong Su rushed directly into the inner room, stood in front of his mother's bed, and asked in a trembling voice:

"Is everything Yu'er said true?"

In fact, he believed that what his son said was true, but he just wanted to hear his mother's opinion.

The old marquis's wife just shed tears and didn't say a word.

Nangong Yu said in front of Nangong Su and the old marquis’ wife:

"This Changyong Marquis' Mansion has been run into a thousand holes by you. My mother can get a divorce and leave the mansion. She will only live a better life, but I have the surname Nangong, so I can't leave."

"And today, you guys attacked my wife, and I naturally couldn't stand it anymore. From now on, not only you, but also Xiao Zhu, will be confined. If the Marquis wants to go out and have fun, that's fine, but no one can take her out of this yard."

The Marquis didn't dare to say a word. If what Nangong Yu just said was true, then he really had no right to say anything!

At this moment, Qingyi came over and reported:

"Sir, Aunt Zhu is awake."

Nangong Yu said lightly:

"Go call Jiu Huan over and have her take the porcelain piece that Zhu used to scratch the young lady, and draw a line on Zhu's face, just like the scratch on the young lady's face. Oh, remember to draw on the left side of her face as well. When it comes to revenge, you have to pay some interest. Don't forget the scratch on the leg."

"Yes!"

Qingyi went out.

The Marquis opened his mouth but didn't say anything about not hurting Zhu Xinlan.

Now he found that he had almost no right to speak in this family.

Two guards came in and carried out Nangong Yu's chair. Neither the Marquis's wife nor Nanny Yang went in to see the old Marquis's wife, but followed their son and left.

The Marquis stood in front of the old Marquis's wife's bed and really didn't know what to say.

As soon as Nangong Yu and the others went out, screams were heard from the side room.

They went straight back to Chaohui Courtyard, and Gu Ruoxi actually fell asleep under the shade of a tree.

Qingqiu brought a small stool and sat aside, mending Nangong Yu's undershirt whose buttons had been torn off the day before.

Seeing the lady and the prince coming in, he hurriedly stood up and bowed.

Nangong Yu looked at Gu Ruoxi with amusement as she lay curled up on two chairs. It must be uncomfortable to sleep like this.

He signaled the guards to put him next to Gu Ruoxi's chair:

"Why don't you bring out a couch for the young lady?"
