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

Tian Cheng excitedly put down the fruit box and gestured:

"Miss, when I entered the mansion just now, I saw several people carrying the Marquis back.

I heard that His Majesty punished the Gu family for privately discussing the issue of establishing a crown prince.

The Marquis was beaten with twenty boards. The sight of his skin torn and flesh exposed was horrifying to me.

It seems that the Marquis's Mansion is in great trouble. I am worried that this will implicate the young lady."

Aunt Wei was shocked and asked in confusion:

"The Marquis had just returned to the capital to take up his post after making military achievements, yet Your Majesty embarrassed him in public.

It seems that he is not a popular figure in front of His Majesty.

Beating him with twenty sticks is considered a light punishment. If it weren't for the dignity of the Taiwei Mansion, I'm sure no one in the Marquis' Mansion would be spared and everyone would be punished."

Song Wanyin's face was calm, and he said calmly:

"It's better to let him suffer a little. He lost face this time, and the mansion will finally be quiet in the future."

Tian Cheng thought about it and reported truthfully:

"Miss, I heard that the mistress almost had a miscarriage and had to stay in bed for several days.

The lady could hardly save herself, and was still under pressure from the two uncles of the Gu family to save her son.

I have inquired about it and found out that the accounting office is running out of money and the servants' monthly wages have not been paid yet.

There has long been deep resentment among the people below, and although many servants dare not say it out loud, they have begun to do their work perfunctorily.

Ever since the young lady stopped taking care of things, the house has been in chaos, and I'm afraid the Madam won't let it go easily."

When Madam Wei thought of the disgusting things that the Marquis's Mansion had done to her master, she sneered:

"How dare the Gu family put the blame on our daughter?

Over the years, our girl has done her best to be filial to the lady.

The result was that his efforts were not appreciated and he was devalued by the Gu family.

This is just the beginning, there are still more hardships waiting for them to eat."

Song Wanyin lowered her eyes and continued to select colorful fabrics, looking as if it was none of her business.

No matter how chaotic the Gu family is, what does it have to do with her?

"Tiancheng, please find a good tailor shop and make me some dignified and graceful clothes."

Seeing that she started to dress up, Tiancheng thought that she must have walked out of the shadow of this unhappy marriage.

"Okay, I'll go find a tailor shop right away.

By the way, girl, let’s go to the street tomorrow.

A new rouge and powder has been launched recently, and I heard that all the noble ladies in Beijing have specifically requested to buy it.

I feel that if the girl puts on some light makeup, she will definitely be the most beautiful among all the other girls.

We women should always be nicer to ourselves."

Madam Wei immediately exposed her little thoughts and said:

"Little girl, do you want to buy rouge and powder for the girl, or do you want to go out and have some fun?"

Song Wanyin realized that he had not been out for some fresh air for a long time, and he would have to go back to the Taiwei Mansion another day to do some repairs and buy some furniture in advance.

This will make it convenient for them and dozens of servants to have a place to live after they divorce Gu Qingchen in the future.

After calculating the time, given the character of the Gu family, if they really were in dire straits, they would ask her for help.

In Songbai Garden, Gu Qingchen lay on the bed, sweating profusely in pain, biting a white handkerchief tightly, and asked the doctor to examine and apply medicine to him.

The doctor carefully cut open the cloth covering his wound, revealing the shocking scar, with skin torn and flesh exposed and blood all over the place.

If he gets hit a few more times, I'm afraid his legs will be completely broken.

Just as the doctor sprinkled the hemostatic powder on the wound, Gu Qingchen's eyes suddenly widened. The heart-wrenching pain drilled straight into his bones, and his official uniform was soaked with blood.

He clutched the quilt beneath him tightly, enduring the severe pain and not letting himself cry out.

"hiss……"

After the doctor finished applying the medicine, he said:

"My Lord, this injury will take a hundred days to heal.

During this period, it is not easy to get out of bed and walk around, let alone get wet, so as to avoid inflammation and infection of the wound.

I will go down and prescribe some medicine for internal and external use to relieve the pain."

As soon as the doctor left, the lady came rushing over after hearing the news, and stumbled to the bedside with a wooden cane.

"Brother Chen, are you okay?

Oh, you almost scared me to death.

You are the pillar of our Gu family. If you fall, the Gu family will be completely finished."

Gu Qingchen's face was pale, his lips were peeling, and he said weakly:

"Mother, His Majesty is angry with me because of my two brothers.

If the two uncles come to bother you again in the future, mother will know what to do, right?"

The lady was distressed:

"Brother Chen, I'm sorry for your hardship, let me handle this matter.

You are not able to move around easily during your recuperation period, so why not let Lan Yue stay in the mansion for a while so that she can take better care of you."

Gu Qingchen shook his head:

"Mother, please don't disturb Lan Yue. Pregnant women should not overwork, let alone be stimulated.

When I am well again, I will send someone to inform her."

He was worried that Jiang Lanyue would develop a chronic illness, so he didn't want her to worry about it, so as not to affect the fetus in her belly.

At this time, a servant came hurriedly to report:

"Madam, Lord Marquis, Second Master Gu and Third Master Gu are here again."

Seeing that they were still haunting her, the lady came up with a plan:

"Please invite them to the main hall and have them seated. Serve them some good tea. I will be there shortly."

In the main hall, smoke curled up from the peacock blue glaze incense burner. The big red lanterns under the eaves swayed in the cold wind. The strong wind whistled through the corridor and swept up the snow on the ground.

Gu Zeqian paced back and forth restlessly in the hall, looking forward to something, and sighing anxiously:

"Second brother, no matter what we say today, we have to ask Brother Chen to intercede for us. This has been delayed for several days.

If this continues, our son will be tortured beyond recognition and may even lose his life."

Gu Zecheng sat on the left with a gloomy face, tapping the handle of the chair with his ringed index finger:

"I will give Brother Chen one last chance. If he completely disregards the relationship between brothers, then I will have no choice but to ask the elders of the clan to put pressure on him.

I wonder if he will have the face to face his ancestors in the future."

The lady was outside the door and heard their conversation clearly. She calmly stepped over the threshold, leaning on her wooden cane.

"Second brother, third brother, I'm sorry that you were kept waiting for so long."

When Gu Zecheng and Gu Zeqian saw her coming in with a wooden cane, they were stunned for a moment. Then they realized that her eye disease seemed to have worsened.

Gu Zeqian couldn't help but ask:

"Sister-in-law, hasn't Brother Chen gone to admit his fault to Wan Yin yet?

Why do you think this kid has such a stubborn temper?

A real man should be able to bend and stretch. You can't just let your eye disease continue to worsen."

Gu Zecheng frowned and said coldly:

“Sister-in-law, we’ll think about it after we go back.

Saving my son is urgent.

Brother Chen must come forward to rescue his brothers, otherwise the three of us will no longer even be relatives."

The lady's eyes were red and swollen, and she sobbed:

"Second brother, third brother, my brother Chen was spanked 20 times by His Majesty today because of the incident with those two brothers.

The wound was so severe that the patient was almost crippled.

The doctor said I need to rest and shouldn't get out of bed and walk around.

If you really want to save your son, you can only turn to Wan Yin for help.

As the eldest daughter-in-law of the Gu family, she should be filial to her husband."

Gu Zecheng and Gu Zeqian had thought about it before, but Song Wanyin was determined to take the two most profitable shops under the names of the second and third wives.

As long as they refuse to give in, Song Wanyin will never come forward to plead for mercy.

The lady knew their concerns very well and gave them some advice:

"Wan Yin is a person who always responds to soft tactics rather than hard ones. As long as we cooperate well and use both soft and hard tactics, are we afraid that we can't subdue her?"
