Jingning Marquis Liu Hanjun was completely stunned. He looked at the old lady in disbelief.
"Mother! Why? Why don't you send Mei'er to the Prince's Mansion!"
The old lady looked at him and said, "I found Dr. Sun. He examined the third prince and said that the child's illness can be cured."
This time Liu Hanjun was even more surprised. When did his mother find a miracle doctor? Could the third prince really be cured?
"Mother, is this true? Have you been deceived?"
The old lady looked at him with a very cold look.
"Don't worry, the miracle doctor has already treated the Third Prince once, and I saw that the child has recovered greatly. Since the Third Prince is fine, there is no need for us to support the Crown Prince."
"But if we do this, we will definitely offend His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, this..."
"What are you afraid of! You are the uncle of the Third Prince. If he becomes the Emperor, you will be the Emperor's uncle!
I know you want to follow the prince and keep your position as a marquis. Haha, but let me tell you, if your sister and the third prince want to fight, even if you give all your property to the prince, he will not trust you!"
The old lady finished speaking, her face full of frost.
This son is so useless!
He is even worse than a girl like Liu Rumei, who can't even tell the difference between close and distant relatives.
He was willing to serve the prince as a dog only because the prince gave him benefits.
This bastard actually wants to go against my wishes!
"Mother, I don't think so. Is the Third Prince really alright?"
"Are you doubting me?!" the old lady asked unhappily.
"My son doesn't dare!"
Liu Hanjun hurriedly lowered his head, feeling very annoyed, but not daring to show it.
"That's settled then. But your wife's dowry is missing 100,000 taels of silver. What did you do with it?"
The old lady asked this casually, and Liu Hanjun suddenly became a little nervous and clenched his hands.
"Is it that much less? Although I occasionally took some money to visit officials over the years, it shouldn't be that much. Women don't save money, so I guess the expenses are too high."
The old lady didn't speak for a long time, then snorted coldly.
"This silver is for the Third Prince's medical treatment. No one can touch it! Take out a few tens of thousands of taels of silver from you first, and then I will have the nerve to ask your father-in-law for the rest of the silver."
The old lady knew clearly that most of the money was given to outsiders.
But the girl outside was her niece. If she hadn't taken this into consideration, she would have pointed it out directly.
"Son will find a way, but how is mother going to ask the Zhou family for money? Will the Zhou family agree?"
As he said this, he was also thinking about asking Jiang Rou for the 30,000 taels back.
He has given her 70,000 or 80,000 taels over the years. It should be no problem for her to get half of it back, right?
"Just say that she is preparing a dowry for Mei'er. His daughter spends money without thinking, so as her maternal grandmother, she should prepare something for her."
Liu Hanjun thought for a moment and said, "But if Mei'er doesn't enter the Crown Prince's Mansion, will the Zhou family still be willing to give her money?"
"You don't have to worry about that. I will find her a suitable family so that the Zhou family won't be able to say anything."
Liu Hanjun never doubted the old lady's words, and he didn't care anyway.
He didn't care at all who Liu Rumei married.
His mind was now full of thoughts on how to send a message to Jiang Rou and the children outside, telling them not to worry about him.
He didn't know that Zhou Miaoyi was so angry that her whole body was shaking.
Looking at the man who was beaten to death, she had to believe that the Marquis really had a mistress.
"Mammy, what should we do?"
Zhou Miaoyi, with tears on her face, leaned directly on Mrs. Li.
"Don't be afraid, Madam. I will take care of this matter! Even if something really goes wrong, it won't dirty Madam's hands!"
Zhou Miaoyi felt relieved when she heard this. This Mrs. Li was very steady and she would definitely be able to handle it.
Even if she dealt with that bitch and her child, if the Marquis pursued the matter, she would find a way to save Mrs. Li's life.
At worst, we can send her family to a farm, or sell them directly.
The faults were all done by the servants, so the Marquis cannot vent his anger on his wife.
Before the person left, Zhou Miaoyi was already thinking about selling the house for her entire family.
"Then I'm counting on you, Mammy."
Mrs. Li nodded, but her heart was calm.
Even if she lost her life, for the lady it would just be the loss of a familiar servant.
Thinking of this, she felt heartbroken and decided that it would be more promising to follow the older girl.
When they set out, Li Pozi brought seven or eight maids and five servants with her. Behind them, in the carriage sat Liu Rumei and three maids.
"Don't worry, young lady. I'll go in and find the banknotes!" Chuntao said.
"There are also land deeds and house deeds!" Xia Zhu helped to remind.
"And jewelry!" Holly's thoughts were very clear.
Liu Rumei was very satisfied that her maid knew how to live.
When the carriage stopped, so many people got off at once, and everyone naturally paid attention.
Mrs. Li didn't give the other party any face, and banged on the door and shouted, "If you have the guts to be a concubine, you have the guts to open the door! Do you think my Jingning Marquis's Mansion is some small family, and you dare to seduce our Marquis to have an affair with you without a matchmaker!"
When everyone heard this, they immediately became excited.
They knew this family. The mistress was gentle and generous, the son was handsome and intelligent, and the girl was also a lady from a noble family.
Normally the neighbors are jealous, but now they know that she is having a mistress!
They were actually jealous of the concubine, but now it seems it was not worth it.
But this woman is good at pretending, acting so virtuous and gentle, like the lady of the house.
The yard was silent. Jiang Rou gritted her teeth and hugged her daughter, unable to help scratching her neck with her hand.
"The doctor hasn't come back yet, mother, can you still bear it?"
A handsome man asked this question. He looked very similar to Liu Hanjun.
This is Jiang Rou’s son Liu Xiu De, who is only one year younger than the eldest son of the Marquis’ Mansion, Liu Xiu Rong.
His face was intact, but his mother and sister's faces were so red and swollen that they had to be checked by a doctor.
At this time, someone suddenly came to the Marquis' Mansion, which made him wonder whether the poisoning of his mother and sister was caused by the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion.
Liu Xiu De knew that his mother was a mistress, which was not a glorious thing.
However, the people the father really cared about were the three of them, mother and son.
In fact, my father had wanted to include them in the family tree a long time ago, but he just lacked the opportunity.
As long as he could get a good rank in the imperial examination this time, his father would discuss with the clan elders and allow his mother to become the second wife in the marquis's mansion.
So he studied hard day and night, even skipping midnight snacks, not wanting to save himself.
"Mother, let me go out and have a look. I'll talk to that lady. Why make such a scene?"
Hearing what Liu Xiu De said, Jiang Rou immediately stood up with a look of disapproval on her face.
