No, I was just a concubine, how did I become the queen?

"But you can't just ignore Hongyu's life or death because of this, right?" Lin Mingyan didn't understand.

If she had such a nephew, she would definitely keep in touch with him.

Not to mention what benefits you can get from him, at least outsiders will know about this relationship and give you a favor.

The Fourth Master said, "Silly Cha Cha, they are using Hong Yan to harm you."

"Think about it, if Hongyan really gets into an accident because of this, outsiders won't care about what's going on."

"They will only criticize you, the step-concubine, and say that you can't tolerate the children of your predecessors."

His eyes were serious and he saw the pros and cons of the matter at a glance.

These people are using his child's health to harm his beloved one.

Lin Mingyan didn't care much about her reputation, so she didn't expect that if something happened to Hongyan, she would have to take the blame.

Now I am really grateful to Mrs. Wu. At least she did a good thing.

However, while Wu was out researching cowpox, she had to pay attention: "I will pay attention to Hongyu's condition in the future and strive to make him grow up healthy."

Not to mention that Hongyu is a little stupid, even if he is healthy, she believes that he cannot surpass Honghui, the eldest son.

After all, Honghui is truly a genius who came out of her belly.

The Fourth Master was afraid that she would be frightened, so he pulled her into his arms and kissed her forehead: "Don't be afraid, Chacha. From now on, no one who has any connection with the Nara family will be allowed into the mansion."

After Nara's death, her dowry was not taken away by Nara's mansion because Hongyan was there.

Instead, it is run by her former servants, and when Hongyu grows up, he will take control of it himself.

Therefore, the servants before Nara were still considered servants in the mansion, so it was much more convenient for them to come to the house.

This made it easier for Amber to come over.

When the Fourth Master told Lin Mingyan this, Lin Mingyan knew that this might be related to the dowry.

The Manchus gave real money when marrying off their daughters, and since Nara was marrying a prince, the dowry could not be small.

The Nara Mansion's attempt to kill Hongyan may not be just to discredit her as the Fourth Master thought.

After all, as long as Hongyan was gone and Nara lost her biological child, they could take back the dowry.

Especially since the Nara Mansion has been going downhill in recent years, he can't earn money from working as a clerk, but he spends money like water on illness.

It is also very likely that they set their sights on Nara's dowry.

After hearing what she said, the Fourth Master lost his favorable impression of the people in the Nara Mansion.

Perhaps the biggest failure in his life was getting involved with such a group of people.

Thinking of the prince who lost his belt because of Wu Ge, he felt even more upset.

The more I think about it, the angrier I get!

If he doesn't retaliate, what kind of saint is he?

Things have been going badly for Nara Xinghui lately. Due to physical reasons, he always makes mistakes and even has difficulty sticking to his daily training.

I returned home exhausted both physically and mentally, and saw some people with bad faces. I felt so upset.

Mrs. Xinghui also looked very pale. No matter how she was taken care of, she was not getting better. He was now unwilling to spend the night in her room.

Fortunately, the newly bought maids are all pretty and lively, and it's warm to hold them while sleeping at night.

As a man, it is good to keep a healthy concubine to absorb his vital energy.

Being a woman in the harem is really uncomfortable, but I can only endure it.

She was not feeling well and her husband ignored her, so her temper was not much better.

In addition, both his parents-in-law are gone, but the brothers still live together, and there are endless lawsuits to fight every day.

As the eldest sister-in-law, she had to uphold justice and ensure that the family had enough food to eat, which made her physically and mentally exhausted.

That day, Nara Xinghui returned home and wanted to hug the little maid to eat and sleep, so he was invited to the main courtyard.

After all, she is my first wife. Even if the feelings for her are gone, we still have to live together.

It’s one thing not to go normally, but you still have to give face when someone invites you.

Arriving at the main courtyard, Lady Xinghui got straight to the point: "Have you made any progress on the matter we talked about last time?"

The mansion is really stretched to the limit. The rice in one pot has been eaten up. We can't let the eldest wife take their own rice to share with other wives, right?

Nara Xinghui frowned and said, "Who would have thought that Wu was so loyal?"

"Hongyan was clearly infected, but he managed to get through it."

"In this case, we have no reason to go to Shuyi's house to ask for her dowry."

Later he thought of a few more tricks, but none of them worked, and Hongyu's body became stronger and stronger.

"Why not? Even if Hongyan is still alive, he is still a fool. How can he manage such a huge dowry?" Lady Xinghui said with a fierce look in her eyes.

She saw with her own eyes that her father-in-law gave half of the family wealth to this good sister as a dowry.

Now that my sister is gone and my son is mentally retarded, won’t the dowry end up going to the stepmother?

Wouldn't it be reasonable for them to take it back?

Nara Xinghui: "That being said, the Fourth Master is a prince after all, how could I say that?"

Oh.

Go up and tell the Fourth Prince.

I now suspect that you are trying to covet my dead sister's dowry. Return the things to me and I will take care of it.

What's more, he didn't take it back to care of it, he wanted to use it!

The money you put into escrow will have to be paid back eventually, so it’s not very helpful!

"If you can't open your mouth, then just watch as our family gets eaten up?" Lady Xinghui's mouth moved rapidly. "Your son will be looking for a wife soon. What will you use to propose marriage after we've already eaten them up?"

"This..." Nara Xinghui hesitated.

You can ignore other things, your son is the most important thing.

Lady Xinghui said, "If you can't get your dowry back, then we'll split the family!"

"We didn't split up the family when our parents were alive. Now that they're gone, we have the right to split up the family."

She had put up with these idiots for so long, she really didn't want to bother with it anymore.

After the separation, they can still live a good life with their own money.

She only has one son and one daughter, and her husband's health is probably damaged, so he can't have any illegitimate children.

The expenses were just for their family of four and the servants who served them closely. At most, they would spend a little every year to buy him two maids to warm his bed.

In this way, life will be much easier!

Nara Xinghui was hesitant. After all, as the eldest brother in the family, it was really a bit too much to propose kicking his younger brothers out.

But given the current situation in the mansion, there is no other way to go.

For the sake of his only son, he thought about it and decided to bear the stigma. He went to find the elders of the clan and started to divide the family.

When the Fourth Master learned that several brothers in the Nara Mansion had a fight over the division of the family business, he curled his lips and smiled.

Large families do not divide up. For example, the Tonggiya clan, even though several branches have great-grandchildren, still live together.

After all, they live together, and when they go out, they are members of the Duke's Mansion. If they separate, they can only use their own official positions.

The same goes for the Nara family. They used to be members of the general's mansion.

Now... no such person exists~
