Quick Wear: Cannon Fodder She Wants to Be a Vicious Female Supporting Role

Chapter 101: The Marquis’s Wife Faking Her Death (5)

Compared to everyone else's pity, Madam Hou was so angry when she heard the content of the imperial edict, and she had not had enough rest in the past few days due to the busy funeral, so she fainted immediately.

Her son's fake death not only made him lose the title of Duke Dingguo, but even if he came back in the future, he might not be able to become a marquis. She was very angry and anxious.

"Madam Hou!"

"Old lady!"

As Madam Hou fainted, everyone gathered around to help check on her condition.

............

"Madam, the old lady invites you!"

Lan Xin had just returned from Mu Ziyi's funeral when she learned that the old witch Madam Hou had woken up and was asking her to come over.

Lan Xin glanced at the maid who came to invite her to the old lady's courtyard and nodded, "Okay, I'll go after I get dressed."

Lan Xin packed herself up and went to Madam Hou's yard. She was a little curious about why Madam Hou wanted to see her at this time.

But think about it, it is more likely that he wants to control her.

Lan Xin had just walked outside Madam Hou's yard when she heard Madam Hou smashing things madly in the room.

Lan Xin knew that the reason why Madam Hou was smashing things so wantonly was because she knew that after she smashed them, Lan Xin would definitely replace them for her.

It's just a pity...

The current Lan Xin is not the original her. After knowing who she is, she will still let her take advantage of her.

This time, Lan Xin will not help her repair the broken things like her original self did.

Anyway, the things that the old lady of the Marquisate smashed were from their mansion, so Lan Xin didn't really care and walked slowly to the door of the old lady of the Marquisate's room.

Before entering the door, Lan Xin lowered her head to calm herself down, then raised her head, pinched her thigh, and squeezed out a few tears.

Lan Xin pushed the door open and rushed in, grabbing Madam Hou's hand as she was desperately smashing things. She choked and said, "Mother-in-law, I know you are sad, but no matter how sad you are, your husband is no longer with us. The most important thing for you now is to take good care of yourself!"

Lan Xin said this with such sincerity and emotion that those who didn't know her would think she was very worried about Old Madam Hou.

However......

The fact is, it's just acting. This is just a necessary skill that Lan Xin has acquired by fighting against scum along the way.

Hearing Lan Xin's voice, Madam Hou inevitably thought of the crowd watching her son's funeral today and the emperor's edict. Since the emperor's edict had been issued, the salary of the Marquis in their mansion would certainly no longer be there.

The most important thing is that even if his son comes back in the future, he may not be able to continue to be a marquis. Not only that, even her grandson will no longer have a marquisate to inherit.

To put it simply, if the Mu family cannot make any special contributions to the dynasty in the future, they will never have the chance to become a marquis.

Thinking of this, Madam Hou's heart almost bled. Looking at Lan Xin, the culprit, she was furious and immediately cursed, "It's all because of you, you vicious woman, you jinx, who killed my son."

Lan Xin's eyes immediately filled with tears, and she looked at Madam Hou with a heartbroken expression, "Mother, how could you slander me? My husband and I have been childhood sweethearts and have a deep relationship. How could I possibly kill him?"

Madam Hou felt a little guilty when she heard this, thinking that her son was just faking his death, and it was definitely not Lan Xin who killed him.

However, Madam Hou's guilty conscience only lasted for a brief moment, and she immediately felt righteous in her heart.

Although Lan Xin did not kill her son, the imperial edict declaring her son dead was requested by Lan Xin herself.

When Madam Hou thought of the imperial edict, her hands began to tremble with anger. She shouted at Lan Xin angrily, "You jinx! If my son hadn't married you, how could he have died?"

Although her son is not dead yet, because of Lan Xin, her son may never be able to become a marquis in the future. What's worse, their Mu family may never have the chance to become a marquis again. Just think about it, what's the difference between this and death. She now wishes she could peel off Lan Xin's skin, pull out her tendons, and drink her blood.

However, even this was not enough to vent her hatred. She was determined to make Lan Xin die a miserable death!

"Since my mother-in-law says I'm a jinx, I'll just leave to avoid killing her. My husband is dead anyway, and there's no law in my dynasty that says a wife must stay by her deceased husband's side."

As Lan Xin spoke, she pretended to be reluctant and let go of Madam Hou's hand, then turned around and was about to walk out.

Madam Hou knew very well whether Lan Xin was the jinx who brought her son to death. She kept calling her a jinx just to control her.

Now seeing that Lan Xin seemed to be really ready to leave, Madam Hou hurriedly reached out and grabbed her wrist. Because Madam Hou held hatred towards Lan Xin in her heart, she wanted to use all her strength to grab Lan Xin's hand.

Madam Hou grabbed Lan Xin and said harshly, "You are not allowed to leave. Because of you, our Marquis Mansion has no descendants."

"Also, you are not allowed to marry again in the future. You must stay with my son for the rest of your life. This is what you owe to our mansion."

Upon hearing this, Lan Xin felt that the slightly distorted face of the old lady in front of her looked particularly hideous.

This old witch clearly knew that her son's death was fake, but she still wanted a beautiful young girl to be a widow for her son for the rest of her life.

It’s really heartbreaking!
