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

Hua Muxue sat on a rosewood chair, looking coldly at Xu Qianqian who was kneeling in front of her, trying to commit suicide.

Although she didn't say anything during this period, her heart was as clear as a mirror, and she knew every move of Xu Qianqian very well.

In the past, I had many concerns because of Aunt Shen, so I could only turn a blind eye.

Now, I didn't expect Xu Qianqian to become more and more arrogant, openly seducing her husband, completely treating her as nothing.

Where is the majesty, dignity, and solemnity of the mistress of the house?

"Xu Qianqian, you seduced my husband and destroyed the harmony of my family. Are you still refusing to admit your guilt?"

Xu Qianqian failed in her suicide attempt. She cried like a pear blossom in the rain, as weak as a willow in the wind, sobbing:

“Madam Taiwei, I truly admire the Taiwei with all my heart.

I have never thought of competing with Madam for her favor. It would be enough for me to be a maidservant by your side. I beg Madam to have mercy on me."

Song Wanyin came to the courtyard, looked at Xu Qianqian's pretentious appearance, and said bluntly:

"Xu Qianqian, stop acting, this is not a stage for singing little songs.

I'm not as cautious as my sister-in-law, who would not let you take advantage of me.

You've done so many weird things in your house, I'm afraid it's not just for the purpose of climbing into bed, what other secrets do you have?"

When Hua Muxue saw her sister coming, she felt as if she had taken a reassurance pill. She immediately felt confident and quickly signaled the servant beside her to bring a chair over.

Xu Qianqian knelt there, trembling with fear, and answered tremblingly:

"County Lady, I don't have any purpose. I just want to find someone to rely on. I beg you to accept me and give me a place to settle down."

When Song Wanyin heard this, she suddenly grabbed the teacup at hand and threw it hard on the ground. The teacup splashed everywhere and the boiling hot tea spilled everywhere.

"Nonsense! Your biological mother passed away three years ago. You still have a younger brother, who is your weak spot. Your stepmother often threatens you with your biological brother's future, forcing you to obey her orders. Is this true?"

Xu Qianqian trembled with fear, and her mind was touched by what she said. She dodged and said:

"I do have a younger brother, but my stepmother has always treated my brother and me as her own children. She has always been considerate of us, taking care of our food and daily life, and has never been harsh on us. As a younger generation, it is reasonable for me to respect her."

Seeing that she didn't cry until she saw the coffin, Song Wanyin scolded her harshly:

"You are so confused! Can't you see the situation clearly? Will you feel at ease only if you sacrifice your own brother's life?"

Hua Muxue watched the scene calmly. After all, her younger sister was the only one who knew the private affairs of Aunt Shen's family best, and she had a sure chance of winning in her heart.

Xu Qianqian was obviously frightened, with a hint of panic in her eyes. She rolled her eyes quickly and argued:

"I don't understand what the county lady meant. As the saying goes, even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. My stepmother will never do anything to harm me and my brother."

Song Wanyin had secretly bribed Nanny Li, who used to work in the Shen family. Later, she became Aunt Shen's dowry nanny. She privately asked her about Xu Qianqian's background and situation, and learned a shocking secret.

"Xu Qianqian, do you think that if you put on a show of loving mother and filial son, your stepmother will let you and your brother go? Your brother is currently under house arrest in a small dark room, just to blackmail you and make you find ways to become my eldest brother's concubine, otherwise she will take action against your brother."

When Hua Muxue heard this, she was surprised. She never thought Aunt Shen's methods could be so despicable. It seemed that it was extremely difficult for children born out of wedlock to survive in the hands of their stepmother.

Xu Qianqian saw that the truth had been revealed, but she still insisted:

"No, this is all nonsense. Who is gossiping behind your back and defiling the ears of the county lady? I hope you will forgive me."

Song Wanyin could see that her inner defenses were about to collapse, so she guided her step by step:

"I have the most say in my Aunt Shen's temperament. She is a snake and a rat. She will never give up until she achieves her goal. She is ruthless and cruel, and she cannot tolerate even a grain of sand in her eyes.

She has always had a philosophy: those who follow me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish.

The power of life and death over you and your brother lies in her hands. Once her goal is achieved, you may be willing to give up your life and sacrifice everything, but your brother will not escape and may even die with you.

You don't have to believe me, so let's wait and see.

I think you should know your stepmother very well. I don’t need to say more about what kind of person she is at heart.”

Hua Muxue had a complicated expression. According to her sister, it seemed that Xu Qianqian was not just climbing into bed. Her hands hidden in her sleeves clenched subconsciously.

Xu Qianqian's eyes were filled with fear, her body trembled violently, she was so scared that her whole body was shaking like a sieve, her teeth chattering as she said:

"County Lady, please save me. My stepmother has forced me into a corner, so I took the risk and spared no effort to seduce the Grand Marshal.

Once I become a concubine, I will have the opportunity to take the position and become the mistress of the family, swallowing up all the property of the Song family and transferring it to the name of my stepmother.

As for the Grand Marshal, my stepmother gave me a colorless and tasteless chronic poison. If I drip it into your tea and food every day, you will die suddenly within a year."

There was a chill in Song Wanyin's eyes, and her fingertips were rubbing tightly on the armrests of the chair. She hated Aunt Shen's despicable methods in her heart. She never expected that she would actually have the murderous intention to murder her brother and sister-in-law.

"Xu Qianqian, you have no choice right now, it's a dead end anyway.

I know you are willing to risk your life for your brother.

But you have to know that your life cannot save your brother.

If you are willing to give up your obsession, perhaps I can find a way out for you two siblings."

Hua Muxue's face suddenly changed. She never expected Aunt Shen to be so ambitious. Not only did she want to covet the Song family's property, but she also wanted to kill people to silence them. She was simply too lawless.

"Xu Qianqian, either you agree to follow our instructions for the rest of the process, or we will escort you to the government office right now.

If you were caught, Aunt Shen would not let your brother off easily.

You can decide for yourself which is more important. "

Xu Qianqian's despairing eyes suddenly brightened up when she heard that there was a way out, and she begged desperately:

"County Lady, Madam Taiwei, to be honest, I don't want to be a concubine, let alone the position of mistress of the house.

It was really because my stepmother pushed me too hard. If I didn't listen to her, she would torture me to death. The painful punishments were not physical, but mental.

She would pour a poisonous water called Datura into my mouth, which made me feel like there were countless poisonous insects crawling in my bones, gnawing at my blood and making me suffer so much that I could neither live nor die.

Please save me and my brother. If this continues, we will be tortured to death by her."
