Marry another wife, the mistress of the marquisate will not serve you anymore

The lady didn't want to give others a chance to talk about her, so she planned to kill someone with a borrowed knife, and ended up with a clean record.

"Second brother, third brother, I am a woman and I can't even protect myself now.

All major and minor matters in the mansion are decided by Song Wanyin.

She held a grudge against Chen Ge'er for marrying Lan Yue, and she led the servants in the mansion to protest against him.

There is not even someone to do the laundry and cooking, and I have an eye disease that I still haven’t found a doctor to cure.

I am old and useless.

My daughter-in-law dares to openly oppose me, so naturally my words will not work."

Aunt Gui was very perceptive and echoed:

"Yes, when I went to invite Madam just now, the maids and servants around her were all arrogant.

They also spoke out in a big way, hoping that the Gu family would accumulate some good karma.

They even said their master was the Madam, and even beat the slaves out.”

Gu Zeqian walked around the hall in a rage, cursing:

"Listen, listen, even the servants dare to ride on the masters' heads and act wildly?

If we don't intervene in this matter, Song Wanyin will tear down the Marquis's Mansion.

Second brother, can you please say something?

Since Song Wanyin is unwilling to come to see us, let me, as the elder, go and invite her in person."

Since Gu Zecheng had his third brother step forward, he naturally stepped back.

Before coming, he had already been jealous of Song Wanyin's generous dowry.

When the eldest brother Gu Zeyan was alive, the Marquis's Mansion was at its peak of prosperity, and he would often help and support the second and third rooms.

After the second and third wives received the benefits, they no longer thought about gaining fame and fortune, but only wanted to do business and make a lot of money.

The Gu family has no business acumen and has failed repeatedly in business, but fortunately they have the eldest brother to back them up.

Since the death of the eldest brother, the Marquis's Mansion has fallen into decline, and the savings of the second and third branches have been squandered.

Now, in order to pursue personal gain, he set his sights on Song Wanyin.

However, Gu Zecheng would not be stupid enough to rush forward on his own if he would have to bear the blame for such a thing.

While the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman reaps the benefits.

The Madam Dowager and Gu Zecheng followed slowly behind, one in front and one behind, letting Gu Zeqian lead the way and head towards Qingzhu Garden in a menacing manner.

Just as Gu Zeqian was about to step into Qingzhu Garden, he was hurriedly stopped by a servant.

"Second Master, Third Master, something bad has happened!"

Gu Zeqian glared at the servant angrily and shouted:

"Look at you, you are so reckless, how can you behave like that? Don't offend me in broad daylight!"

The servant fell to his knees with a thud and reported tremblingly:

"Second Master, Third Master, someone just reported that Rong and Sheng were arrested by the government.

I heard that they seemed to be a few friends going out for a drink, and ended up talking about which prince His Majesty would appoint as the crown prince.

These words were heard by someone who immediately reported it to the police."

"what?"

Gu Zeqian was struck by lightning as if from the blue sky. His eyes went dark and he almost fainted.

"This, this, this rebellious son, tell him not to associate with those bad friends, no matter how many times I tell him, it's useless."

Gu Zecheng's pupils suddenly shrank, his heart ached, and he said anxiously with a pale face:

"Third brother, my brother Rong has always been law-abiding, but it was your brother Sheng who led him astray.

If anything happens to my brother Rong, I will hold you responsible."

He is usually calm and composed, but when it comes to things related to his son, he becomes extremely flustered.

Gu Zeqian immediately got angry and retorted:

"Second brother, why do you want to blame my brother Sheng?

Although my brother Sheng seems to be a bit unreliable, he is timid and would never do anything that could get him killed.

It must have been your brother Rong who started it, causing my brother Sheng to be innocently implicated."

Gu Zecheng looked at him angrily, and pointed his trembling index finger at the tip of his nose:

"Third brother, can you say such things with a clear conscience?

They are all descendants of the Gu family. Instead of trying to save them, you are arguing with me here.

My eldest brother is gone, and you dare to argue with me, your second brother?"

Just as they were arguing fiercely, Aunt Gui said something extra:

"Madam, I remember that when the Grand Commandant was alive, he had a disciple who served as the Junior Official of the Dali Temple."

The lady immediately glared at her fiercely, implying that she was being too smart again.

Aunt Gui was so scared that she immediately covered her mouth, realizing that she might have said something wrong.

Gu Zecheng and Gu Zeqian heard it clearly and immediately stepped forward to ask questions.

"Madam Gui, is what you said true?

From this perspective, we can definitely ask Song Wanyin to come forward and plead for mercy, and ask the government to release the person."

"Sister-in-law, you are Song Wanyin's mother-in-law after all. If you come forward to coordinate this matter, maybe she will give you some face.

As uncles, we really can't bring ourselves to ask her for help."

The lady dowager frowned. She had originally hoped that they could help her out, but she didn't expect that the hot potato would end up in her hands.

"It is true. I am also very worried about Rong and Sheng.

But I am in a difficult situation right now, so you should go and negotiate with Wan Yin on your own."

Seeing that they couldn't invite her, Gu Zecheng and Gu Zeqian had no choice but to give in to each other.

"Third brother, didn't you want to settle accounts with Song Wanyin just now?

Then you go in now and call her out, and put pressure on her so that she must come forward to rescue Rong Ge'er and Sheng Ge'er."

Gu Zeqian's eyes suddenly became clear, and his expression changed faster than turning the pages of a book:

"Second brother, I think your words carry the most weight, so you should go in person and ask Song Wanyin to help."

Just as the two were blaming each other, Song Wanyin, supported by Tiancheng, came out of the garden to get some fresh air.

Song Wanyin heard someone calling her, looked up, and saw the lady and two elders of the Gu family standing outside the garden.

Even if the Gu family was unkind, she still had to be polite and stepped forward to bow and say:

"Mother-in-law, two uncles, Jin An."

Gu Zecheng and Gu Zeqian exchanged glances.

Gu Zeqian changed his previous irritability and said kindly and concernedly:

“Wan Yin, I heard that you were injured.

Your second uncle and I were very worried, so we came to visit you."

Song Wanyin nodded slightly and said:

"Thank you for your concern, uncles. My injury is no longer serious."

Gu Zecheng saw that Gu Zeqian had gone around in circles and had not yet gotten to the point.

She could only roll her eyes at him, then turned around and put aside her proud attitude, looking at Song Wanyin humbly and said:

“Wan Yin, the fact that you are okay is the greatest favor to the Gu family.

To be honest, there is something I need your help with.

Rong and Sheng met the wrong people and discussed the issue of succession in private. They lost the lawsuit and were thrown into jail.

They have been pampered since childhood and have never had even minor illnesses or pains.

I am very worried that they will be severely tortured, and their precious bodies will definitely not be able to withstand it.

I heard that your father had a disciple who is now the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple.

See if you can use your connections to release Rong and Sheng without charge."

Song Wanyin lowered her eyes and said calmly:

"Second uncle, are you trying to harm me?

Discussing the issue of succession in private is a capital crime.

That Shaoqing of Dali Temple is indeed my senior brother.

If you want me to come forward and plead for mercy, there are conditions."
