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

The night is deep and everything is silent.

After Gu Qingchen came out of the Earl's Mansion, he was upset and went to drink to drown his sorrows.

I didn't expect that I was fine when I went out, but I can't go back.

He was sitting in the Wuhou carriage. Seeing that the servants knocked on the door to no avail, he personally stepped forward and banged hard on the vermilion painted door, shouting:

"Open the door, open the door quickly, are you guys going to rebel?"

At this time, an old lady's cold reply came from the crack of the door:

"My lady has ordered that no one is allowed to enter or leave the house at will."

Seeing that such a mere servant dared to use chicken feathers as a token of authority, Gu Qingchen scolded him:

"You lowly creature, stop talking about your master.

I am a dignified marquis, how dare you lock me out? Are you tired of living?"

The old lady replied without changing her expression:

"My Lord, I am also doing my job impartially. Please don't make things difficult for me."

Gu Qingchen was choked by the voice, and under the influence of alcohol, he questioned:

"What is your master doing in the middle of the night?

She is a woman, but she really thinks she is so great.

Open the door quickly, or I will break it down."

At this time, there were bursts of messy footsteps on the quiet street.

The government officials hurried to the gate of the Marquis's Mansion, carrying big red lanterns.

The originally dim street was now brightly lit, as bright as day.

Gu Qingchen was shocked by the scene before him. When he saw a carriage stopped in front of the door, a heroic figure in official uniform walked down from the carriage. It was Wen Yusheng, the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple.

It was so late, how could the government officials be alarmed and come to the Marquis's mansion in person?

Wen Yusheng recognized Gu Qingchen at a glance, clasped his hands together and bowed:

"General of the Zhen Army, I am sorry to bother you by coming to your house tonight. I am here to investigate an important case. I hope the Marquisate will cooperate with me."

Gu Qingchen was completely confused and sobered up. He said suspiciously:

"Master Wen, has something happened?"

Wen Yusheng smiled without saying anything, turned to look at the officer beside him and knocked on the door.

When the old nanny guarding the gate heard that it was the government officials who had arrived, she opened the door without saying a word and knelt down respectfully to pay her respects.

"Your servant greets Lord Wen. My lady has already told me to lead Lord Wen to Qingzhu Garden."

Gu Qingchen was completely dumbfounded. He didn't know what Song Wanyin was up to.

At Wen Yusheng's command, the officers solemnly entered the mansion. The atmosphere in the mansion was tense and depressing. The servants knelt on the ground trembling with fear, not daring to look up.

Judging from the fact that such a big event had alarmed the government, everyone knew that something big was about to happen in the government again.

In Qingzhu Garden, Madam Zhuang was still making her last dying struggle, begging the Madam for help.

"Please understand, Madam. I have been serving you since I was sixteen, diligently and uncomplainingly for decades.

Madam, not only did you wrongly accuse me, but you also wanted to execute me. It is clear that you do not respect your mother-in-law.

Now that the Madam has dared to attack me, she might have evil intentions towards you in the future.

Madam, you are the one who calls the shots in the Marquis's Mansion after all.

You can't just sit there and let Madam do whatever she wants and cause unrest in the mansion!"

Every word that Matron Zhuang said hit the nail on the head and touched the heart of the lady.

The lady's face suddenly changed when she thought about how the family had been struggling financially during this period.

Not only did the second wife lose the shop under her name, but the third wife's son also failed to keep it. All this was thanks to Song Wanyin.

If she continued to let Song Wanyin go like this, and now she dared to attack the old nanny beside her, who knows how she would deal with the entire Marquis' Mansion in the future.

The Marquis's Mansion has been built with great efforts by generations, and we can't just give it all away.

The lady said sternly:

"Song Wanyin, how long are you going to make trouble?

Nanny Zhuang has served me for most of my life, and I know best what kind of person she is.

There is nothing between you and me, and I have never punished those servants around you who don't know the rules.

How dare you do this to the old lady beside me?"

Seeing that she was blinded by lard, Song Wanyin said calmly:

"Mother-in-law, this person is not the real Madam Zhuang. As for why she looks exactly like Madam Zhuang, there must be something fishy about it."

The lady scolded angrily:

"What nonsense, Song Wanyin, you are becoming more and more outrageous.

This kind of childish talk is only suitable for fooling children.

Although I am old, my heart is not old, so you don't need to deceive or fool me."

Aunt Gui couldn't help but agree:

"Madam, you are using this trick of killing a chicken to scare the monkeys. I don't know whether you are dissatisfied with Madam Tai or the entire Marquis's Mansion.

Although you are the master, it is really unfair to bully an old lady who is half buried in the ground.

If this gets out, how will others view the former daughter of the Grand Marshal's Mansion?"

Seeing that she dared to contradict her master, Madam Wei stepped forward and slapped her several times, angrily scolding:

"When the masters are talking, how can an old rascal like you have room to interrupt?

If you dare to say one more word, I will tear your mouth apart!"

Half of Gui Ma's face was red and swollen, and it was burning with pain. Seeing that she dared to slap her in front of the lady, she angrily cursed:

"You old, old bastard, you dare to hit me before the Madam has even spoken?

I'm going to smash your old face!"

When the lady saw that they were about to fight, she was furious and pounded the wooden cane on the ground vigorously:

"Stop it, you are a bunch of unruly idiots."

Nanny Gui and Nanny Wei were like two fighting cocks, staring at each other fiercely, ready to fight at any time.

The lady said with great sorrow:

"Song Wanyin, since you said that Madam Zhuang is a fake, you can produce evidence if you have the guts.

Otherwise, your life will be worthless, and I will go to the capital to file a complaint with the emperor."

At this moment, a cold voice suddenly came from outside the garden:

"The evidence is here. The real Madam Zhuang is here."

As the officers rushed into Qingzhu Garden with lanterns and swords in hand, they quickly stepped forward and subdued the assassin.

Wen Yusheng came with his hands behind his back. At that moment, he seemed to have a halo and was as dazzling as a planet.

"Junior sister, long time no see. You look pretty good recently."

Song Wanyin was surprised to see him coming. Originally, she went to find Bai Shaobo to find out the whereabouts of the real Nanny Zhuang.

Unexpectedly, the authorities were alerted and Senior Brother Wen came to the Marquis's Mansion in the middle of the night.

Song Wanyin immediately stood up to greet him, bowed and said:

"Brother Wen, why are you here?"

When Wen Yusheng was a student, he became his father's disciple and was considered one of his father's most proud students.

He has always been resourceful, righteous, and fair in law enforcement, helping many innocent victims to get justice. He is hailed by the people as the most honest official.

Wen Yusheng quickly told her not to be so polite and said seriously:

"I was working at my desk, checking files, when I heard the police come to report that a body had inexplicably appeared in front of my door.

The body looked like it had been dead for about a year. Upon inspection, it was found to be someone from the Marquis's Mansion.

I thought things were not going well at the Marquis's house recently and I was very worried about your situation, so I came here in person to interrogate you."

The lady staggered back a few steps, her lips trembling as she spoke:

"Lord Wen, according to what you said, you have solid evidence?"

Wen Yusheng gave an order:

"Someone, bring in Madam Zhuang's body so that Madam can claim it."
