The general kneels on the washboard again

Cao Jin came to Fu's house twice in one day. This time, even Fu Shiqing, who never cared about the affairs of the rear house, came to greet him at the door.

Jiang Yunxiao stopped his horse, and Fu Shiqing led Tian and his two daughters to pay their respects. Everything was harmonious.

Fu Shiqing watched Yue Niang come down, still looking like a loving father: "Yue'er, how are you? Do you have a prescription?"

Yue Niang forced a smile and said, "It's open, father."

Cao Jin was unhappy: "From what Master Fu said, you don't trust the doctor in my house?"

Fu Shiqing quickly denied: "No, no, that's not what I meant."

Cao Jin looked at Yue Niang again and said, "If you don't have enough to eat, then go to my house. You look so thin, your aunt is really distressed."

Yue Niang knew that Cao Jin was putting pressure on the Fu family to prevent them from continuing to be harsh on Yue Niang's food.

Yue Niang also cooperated and said, "I understand, Auntie, it's getting late, Auntie and Brother, you should go back early."

Upon hearing this, Cao Jin said, "Okay," and returned to the carriage without even looking at the people from the Fu family.

Fu Shiqing still didn't give up: "Aren't the Duke's wife and the young master going to the mansion to sit down?"

Cao Jin then lazily replied, "No, I have some things to do at home."

The carriage slowly left Laurel Lane.

Fu Shiqing flicked his sleeves and walked into the mansion.

Tian waited for Yue Niang, but spoke in a hurry: "Next time you go to the Duke's Mansion, remember to bring your sisters with you. They all need to save face."

The two walked in front, Fu Yuanniang and Fu Jinniang walked behind, and Yue Niang did not respond.

Tian was a little angry and yelled, "Did you hear that?" She also twisted Yue Niang's hand hard.

Yue Niang then asked, "Auntie Tian, are you telling me this?"

"If not you, who should I tell?"

Yue Niang smiled playfully, "Madam Tian, you're flattering me by saying that. I came from a remote place like Yunzhou, and I'd like you two sisters to take me to more banquets. I heard that the Duke's Mansion is having a chrysanthemum viewing banquet next month. I wonder if you two sisters will take me with you?"

The changes of color on Tian's face were quite beautiful. Finally, she said, "Those are invitations for your sisters. Your name is not on them. How can you get there?"

"Oh, really? That's such a pity." Yue Niang stuck out her tongue playfully.

Yuechen Courtyard is still not cleaned up, so I have to go back to Chuyu Courtyard tonight.

Tian kept following her, but Yue Niang refused to respond.

Fu Yuanniang was worried all day. When she arrived at the Jade Courtyard, she locked Tian at the door and said, "Mother, it's getting late. You and your sister should go to bed early."

"You dead girl." Tian sighed outside the door and left with Fu Jinniang.

Yue Niang and Fu Yuan Niang stood in the yard. Fu Yuan Niang looked at Yue Niang and seemed like she was about to cry.

"big sister."

Seeing her like this, Yue Niang wondered if her sorrow was related to her.

Yue Niang pulled away and said calmly, "Do you have anything to say?"

Fu Yuanniang covered her face and sobbed softly, "Big sister, I have never asked you for anything since I was a child. This time I want to ask you, please give Brother Jiangxun to me, okay?"

Yue Niang was speechless. "Stop, I have to correct you. What do you mean you've never asked me for anything since you were a child? When you were four years old, you secretly soiled your mother's favorite skirt, and you begged me to take the blame for you.

When you were five, you stole Jinniang's cakes, causing your mother to be scolded by your father. When your mother pursued the matter, you threw me out. And when you were six, you fell in love with the puppet doll that your father brought me from Qiefeng, and begged me to give it to you.

The mother of Yue Niang here refers to Xu.

Fu Yuanniang cried even louder: "Big sister, I really like Brother Xun. We are already husband and wife. If you don't agree, I will have no way to survive."

As she cried, Fu Yuanniang felt a hand covering her head.

He raised his red eyes and saw that it was Yue Niang.

Yue Niang looked at Fu Yuan Niang, the only sister in the family who did not hate her, and she still couldn't bear it.

"Second sister, your brother Xun is like a six-year-old puppet to me. As long as you like him, I will give him to you.

But I hope you won't resort to such dirty tactics. You know, in Dacheng, a woman's reputation is as important as her life."

"Big sister, are you really willing to give it to me?" Fu Yuanniang asked Yue Niang in disbelief, with tears still on her face.

Yue Niang nodded and went back to her room.

When Dong Zhu returned to the room, Yan Qi and the other two suddenly jumped out, scaring Dong Zhu to death: "Miss, there are thieves, you go first."

Yue Niang stood in front of her and smiled faintly: "Dong Zhu, they are all our own people, don't be afraid. This is Yan Qi, this is Wan Cheng, and this is Lian Xing. There are many friends in Yunzhou. I will take you to meet them when the time comes."

Dongzhu felt relieved after hearing Yue Niang's words.

Just as Yue Niang finished speaking, Lian Xing started to complain like a little wolfdog: "Master, we couldn't even get into the Duke's Mansion. Their guards were too fierce."

"It's not an ordinary place. The guards they have are carefully selected from the Duke's army. Their abilities are no less than yours." Yue Niang analyzed.

Yan Qi continued, "Master, we've finally found the results of the investigation into the Fu Mansion. It's true that there are secret guards in the Fu Mansion, both overtly and covertly, especially in Fu Shiqing's front courtyard and Tian's Peony Courtyard. There are about a hundred of them."

"A hundred people?" However, judging by how few people were able to detect such information, the abilities of those secret guards must be inferior to them.

Wan Cheng added, "Although their abilities are inferior to ours, they have an absolute advantage in numbers. Even the three of us alone may not be able to escape unscathed."

I am not strong enough, so it seems that I cannot go head-to-head with Fu Shiqing at the moment.

"Let's take a long-term view." Yue Niang said tiredly.

I was really tired today, so I wanted to ask everyone to go down: "You all go down, I want to rest."

Dong Zhu picked up the medicine she had just put down on the table and said, "Miss, have you forgotten what the doctor said? I'll boil some medicine for you now. Drink it before you go to sleep."

"No, I'll wake up first and then drink." Dong Zhu had no choice but to go down.

I originally thought that the rumors about people being born under the water element, the wood element, and dying young would end there, but unexpectedly, an even more outrageous version came out.

It was rumored that both Mrs. Xu and Old Madam Fu were killed by Yue Niang.

Because Yue Niang was sent to Yunzhou, away from Lingzhou, the Fu family began to prosper and was even selected as one of the four richest businessmen in Lingzhou.

Everything Yue Niang did in Yunzhou was carried out by Old Lady Fu.

Yue Niang found Fu Yuan Niang and asked, "Second sister, didn't you tell them what we said that day?"

Fu Yuanniang blushed: "Big sister, His Highness said that this is the only way to successfully break off the engagement with you. We have no other choice. Big sister, please be patient."

Yue Niang was speechless. This was so heartbreaking, how could she endure it?

In fact, Yue Niang didn't care about these empty things, but ever since she saw Jiang Yunxiao covered in wounds that day, Yue Niang was afraid that he would act impulsively.

She stared at the helpless Fu Yuanniang and said from the bottom of her heart, "Second sister, I want to kindly remind you to be careful in everything."

That day, he took Dongzhu and moved back to Yuechenyuan.

He specifically asked Yan Qi to pass a message to Jiang Yunxiao: "Go tell the young master, I can handle it."

Ever since Cao Jin brought Jiang Yunxiao here, the food has been getting better and better, and Dongzhu's face has finally become rounder.

In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the chrysanthemum viewing banquet at the Duke's Mansion.

Yue Niang got up very early and sneaked out of Fu Mansion before dawn, heading towards the Duke's Mansion.
