My husband is pure and has few desires, but I gave birth to three children in a row
Chapter 368 Feeling confident
"After all, my eldest brother and his wife are the masters of the Marquis' Mansion now. Their words are more effective than those of the old man and the old lady! Fourth sister-in-law, don't you agree?"
Hu glared at Zhao.
He glanced at the old lady, then at the eldest lady.
The eldest wife, Jin, shook her head slightly at her, signaling her not to get involved.
Hu gritted her teeth. She knew rationally that she should not stand up at this time. After all, the old marquis and the old lady were doing this for the good of their eldest wife. The ultimate beneficiaries would be the couple.
Even if the third house feels resentful, then let it resent the old marquis and the old lady.
But she couldn't get over it with her conscience.
Thinking about what Fu Zhijian had told her, Fu Zhiyi reminding him to be wary of the third brother Fu Zhiming, and Lu Zhenzhen's life-saving grace to her and Bo Ge'er.
The fourth brother and his wife are really great to the couple!
If she continues to act like a coward at this time, she would really not be a human being.
What's more, she also felt that this was not a big deal, and Fu Zhijian revealed to him that Fu Zhiyi was framed.
As for being demoted and going home to reflect on one's mistakes, that's not worth anything.
After reflecting on it for a few months and waiting for the emperor to calm down, he could think of a way to either catch the people who framed him, or let Fu Zhiyi show up in front of the emperor and make some merits. Maybe he could be reinstated, right?
If it really doesn't work out, whether it's this Marquis' Mansion or her mother's family, the Duke of Ping's Mansion, whose children don't rely on influence? At worst, she can donate a nominal position in the future. How bad can her life be?
The old man and the old lady are so indifferent. No matter how nicely they say it, they just don't want to care.
This is too cruel!
It's not just the third wife who's hurt. Even the second wife and their first wife, after seeing this scene, aren't they scared?
Not to mention the clan. If they give up without even trying because of a small mistake, how can anyone trust their Marquisate in the future?
At this time, Mrs. Hu actually felt a little resentful towards the old marquis and the old lady.
Wouldn't this just cause trouble for the couple? If morale was lost, how would they lead the team in the future? What if the clan members refused to obey their mansion?
Therefore, no matter how the eldest wife, Mrs. Jin, signaled, Mrs. Hu still stood up.
"Aunt San, Sister-in-law Si, don't worry! No one wants something like this to happen! We're all family, so let's all think of a solution! I'll write back and ask my parents to inquire about the situation first, or we can go and talk to my aunt."
"Aunt, Fourth Brother's wife, please ask the Lan family to find out. I heard that Fourth Brother was framed. Let's first find out who framed Fourth Brother. Then we can all go to His Majesty and plead for mercy. Maybe Fourth Brother can be reinstated."
Lan's crying paused, but she soon recovered and choked up as she said to Hu: "Brother Jian, daughter-in-law, you are right! You are so thoughtful, and I will remember your kindness—"
The eldest wife, Mrs. Jin, twitched her eyebrows.
Before he could say anything, Second Mistress Qin and Second Mistress Sun also stood up and said, "Third sister-in-law (Third aunt), and our family, if we can't help with anything else, we can always ask for a favor to make up the number when the time comes."
At this point, the eldest wife, Jin, could only speak: "Although our Jin family has no say in the court, if you, the third brother and sister-in-law, need anything, we can stand up and ask for a favor—"
Jin and Lu Zhenzhen looked at each other. They didn't expect that at this time, Hu and the second house were more humane than the old marquis and the old lady.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law remembered this kindness and thanked it again and again.
Zhao seemed embarrassed and wanted to add something, but no one in the room paid any attention to her.
And the old lady didn't expect that at this time, Mrs. Hu actually stood up and sided with the third room.
Instead, she and the old marquis were put in a fight, and she didn't know what to feel for a moment.
He could only mumble a few words and then said he was tired, and finally sent everyone away.
The old marquis ordered a thorough investigation, so Fu Zhiming's cover-up tactics could no longer be concealed.
Within two days, the results of the investigation appeared in front of the old marquis.
From how Fu Zhiming contacted outsiders, how he bribed the servants in the mansion, how he found excuses to get Fu Zhiyi away, how he entered Fu Zhiyi's study, and how he covered up after coming out, everything was clearly exposed.
As the old marquis looked at the investigation report, his eyes went darker and darker.
Especially when he saw the name of the person Fu Zhiming had contacted in the investigation report, he almost fainted on the spot.
When he came to his senses, his first order was: "Bring that disobedient and unfilial Mingge'er to me!"
Fu Shan gave an order and sent someone away.
The old marquis then called the eldest master, the second master, the third master, as well as Fu Zhijian, Fu Zhizhuo and Fu Zhiyi.
After a while, everyone arrived in a hurry.
Fu Zhiming was the last one to arrive and looked the most embarrassed.
Her clothes were tied in a mess, and there were marks of lipstick on her neck and face. She smelled of powder and makeup, and it was probably dragged directly from one of the concubines' rooms.
The master glared at Fu Zhiming with dismay: "How can this be so disgraceful?"
However, Fu Zhiming did not timidly admit his mistake on the spot as he did in the past. Instead, he casually adjusted his clothes and perfunctorily saluted the old marquis and the eldest master.
He stood up straight and said, "I wonder why grandpa called his grandson here?"
The old marquis's face darkened as he threw the investigation report in front of him in his face. "Look at yourself, what a good job you've done! Didn't I tell you the other day that you were not allowed to have any contact with that person? Why didn't you listen? And you even worked for her and framed your own brother?"
Fu Zhiming's expression remained unchanged.
He didn't even bother to pick up the scattered papers on the ground. Instead, he smiled fearlessly, "Grandfather's teachings, I dare not disobey! But I can't refuse the trust of Grand Princess Deqing, right? Grand Princess Deqing values me, so don't I have to show my respect in front of her?"
"You can't blame me for this! It's because our good fourth brother married a good wife. His wife's words in the palace helped her step on the eldest princess of Deqing to become a county lady, but this caused the eldest princess of Deqing to suffer heavy losses. So, a husband has to pay his wife's debts, so it's only natural that the fourth brother should be implicated!"
"Besides, the fourth brother was only dismissed from his post and ordered to reflect on his mistakes. Princess Deqing showed some mercy for her grandson's sake! In fact, the fourth brother should be grateful to me! Otherwise, if someone else had taken action, he might have lost his life!"
The old marquis was furious: "That's your brother! How could you have the heart to do that to him? And you forgot that you are also from the Marquis' Mansion. Brother Yi is the new top scholar with a bright future. In the future, the Marquis' Mansion and all of you may still have to rely on him! In the end, you just ruined his future! You, you——"
Fu Zhiming scoffed, "So what? Even if the fourth brother has a promising future, how can I benefit from it? Might as well use his future to pave the way for me! What's more, the Grand Princess Deqing and the Third Prince treat me well. Because I'm efficient, they not only rewarded me with a farm and a hundred taels of gold, but also promised me that I would pass the provincial examination next year. There are more benefits to come."
