To support exiled officials, start by worshipping the God of Wealth

Li Ningwan nodded.

My third brother has many bad habits, but he is not a bold enough to steal.

If he was really involved in this matter, then Li Fenghe would not have dared to see him for the past seventeen years. He would have been exposed long ago.

"In that case, write a letter of divorce."

"I'll write it!" Li Fenghe was afraid of his elder brother. He gritted his teeth, ordered someone to bring pen, ink and paper, and lay on the ground, starting to write the divorce letter.

It's just losing a woman, a woman who is always causing trouble.

Anyway, he has a lot of women, and every one of them is gentle as water.

“Can’t write!”

Fang Lianjiao knelt on the ground.

He wrote one.

She tore one.

Until the ground was filled with pieces of white paper.

Jiusu couldn't bear to watch it anymore: "Are you going to write it or not? If not, I'll report it to the police."

Li Fenghe gritted his teeth, looked at his daughter and said, "Tie up this vicious woman!"

Finally, I can write a divorce letter properly.

Listening to Fang Lianjiao cursing and begging, his heart felt like it was stabbed by a knife. After all, they were an old couple who had slept in the same bed for more than 20 years...

How can it not make people feel uncomfortable?

"Take it. From now on, we have nothing to do with each other in marriage."

Fang Lianjiao was tied up and wanted to rush up and eat it in one bite: "I won't!"

Li Fenghe quickly stepped back and handed the divorce letter to his daughter.

"Yan'er, don't get involved in this matter. It's getting dark, so go back to your husband's house. Rong'er and Li'er, go to Fang's house and explain the matter clearly."

The three of them bowed, coaxed and persuaded her, and took Fang Lianjiao away.

Jiusu was puzzled as to why they didn't speak up for Fang Lianjiao. Yi Hui seemed to sense her daughter's doubts and whispered, "They all dislike this mother. They always feel that she has brought shame upon them. Besides... they care more about their status as a concubine in the Marquis' Mansion."

The title of a concubine's daughter in a marquis's mansion is more popular than those legitimate daughters from small families outside.

"I see." Jiusu nodded.

How could a mere letter of divorce and a beating relieve the hatred in her heart? But looking at her mother's satisfied smile, she hid the hatred in her heart. She didn't believe that Fang Lianjiao was someone who would just sit there and wait to die.

The day when Fang Lianjiao took action again.

It is the time when one dies without a burial.

After the ancestral hall was cleaned, the elder kept the three brothers of the Li family and seemed to have something to say. Jiusu helped his mother return to the courtyard first.

Elder Li sighed, "Our Li family has been declining over the past few years. We finally have a powerful female official. Please don't ruin her career."

"..."

Li Fenghu left with a calm expression.

There were still a few people at the gate.

Li Ningwan looked at his third brother who had been following him, and said calmly, "It is impossible for you to plead for Fang Lianjiao. It is already very difficult for me not to take your lives."

"I'm not trying to plead for her." Li Fenghe took a step back and bowed, "Brother, I have two requests for you. My niece has been found, but I don't have a wife in my courtyard..."

Li Ningwan's tone remained calm: "Then accept my condolences."

"What I mean is... can the concubine in my courtyard be promoted to wife..." When he said the latter part, Li Fenghe was so ashamed that he didn't dare to look his elder brother in the eye.

"Whatever you want." Li Ningwan said, "Just handle the affairs of your mansion as long as you don't go overboard."

Li Fenghe smiled suddenly. When he saw his elder brother was about to leave, he quickly stood in front of him and said, "I, I have something else to ask, elder brother. Can you let my niece help me to verify my kinship?"

Li Ningwan frowned: "Verification of paternity? You have an illegitimate daughter?"

Li Fenghe shook his head, "It's Li Yulan and I who are testing our relationship."

As he said this, he glanced at Mr. and Mrs. Hu Xue who were standing at the gate of the courtyard.

Li Ningwan understood: "My daughter is not doing charity. One hundred taels of silver each time. However, even if she is your daughter, she cannot enter the Marquis's mansion. Otherwise, you will leave the mansion independently and we will separate."

Li Fenghe explained: "No, no. I just want to see if it's my daughter, just in case..."

He touched his head.

"I don't want to be cuckolded either."

He walked up to Li Yulan and plucked a hair without mercy. Then he raised his hand with heartache and plucked a few more hairs and put them together.

"This is one hundred and ten taels. The extra money can be considered as tea for my niece as an uncle."

After seeing the eldest brother off, the two dared to speak.

Hu Xue took a deep breath. He couldn't call out "Third Uncle" and he didn't know how to call out "Father-in-law". He didn't dare to vent his anger on the Marquis, so how could he not get angry at a lazy bastard?

He sneered sarcastically.

"This is ridiculous. I didn't expect your family to have so many troubles!"

The man glared at Li Yulan fiercely, then left with a flick of his sleeves.

The father and daughter stared at each other.

Li Yulan knelt on the ground and grabbed his clothes: "Dad, you can't just ignore your daughter!"

From my third uncle to my father, they were all speechless.

Li Fenghe figured out why Fang Lianjiao cared so much about her, better than the other three daughters. He pushed the woman away and warned her, "Don't come looking for me, understand?"

The housekeeper ordered people to drive Li Yulan out.

The night market was open today and it was very lively outside. Many people saw Fang Lianjiao returning to her parents' home in a mess, and they were curious and wandered around outside the house.

When the Fang family learned the truth, they were angry and hateful.

Fang Lianjiao was just a concubine's daughter, with no name or status in the mansion. She used some dirty tricks to marry the concubine's son of the Marquis's mansion. Originally, she had her eyes on the Marquis.

But Yi Hui got there first.

But after all, she is just a forty-year-old concubine.

The Fang couple gave her enough face and let her sit on a chair and cry.

Fang sneered, "Just like your mother who is not presentable. She has never been able to eat many dishes in her life, and she is asking for trouble. Wouldn't it be better to be a concubine's wife? You have to have affairs. You are over 40 years old, and you are still divorced. You are really bringing shame to your mother's family!"

She touched the white hair on her head.

He was not at all willing to adopt a divorced concubine's daughter.

Master Fang sat upright, watching her cry, his head ached again: "Stop crying! The most urgent thing is to ask the Marquis to forgive you, and not to vent your anger on our Fang family."

Fang said, "This is easy. Tomorrow, I will have someone prepare a generous gift and send it to the Marquis's residence. If the Marquis and his wife still won't forgive me, I will beat this cruel concubine to death!"

Li Xinrong and Li Xinli knelt on the ground and kowtowed continuously.

"Please, grandpa and grandma, don't kill my mother."

The concubine's daughter had no ability, but she gave birth to three good-looking daughters. For people from wealthy families, having a beautiful daughter means there is a chance of becoming a high-ranking official.

Her eldest daughter married well.

Fang straightened her sleeves and said, "I'm just saying this. Go and find out what the Third Master has to say. As long as he still has feelings for her, it will be easy."

After a stick of incense.

The servant brought back a shocking piece of news, panting. He looked at the Fang family and his breathing gradually calmed down.

"I have gone to Li Prefecture to inquire..."

Fang Lianjiao asked anxiously, "Is the master trying to find a way to bring me back to the mansion? Is he sad?"

The servant said nervously, "The Third Master is not sad. There is a happy event. Aunt Tao in the courtyard will be promoted to Madam tomorrow."

"What!?" Fang Lianjiao stood up angrily, but her legs went weak and she fainted.

Fang couldn't bear to watch and cursed, "It's really shameful. She has been married for twenty years, and only one day after leaving, the concubine has taken over her nest. Hurry up and carry her away. Don't let her die here. It's unlucky!"

The remaining two illegitimate granddaughters could only cry.

So annoying! So annoying!

"Send them back to the mansion quickly."
