After rebirth, the wife of the Houfu shark went crazy

Chapter 20 Was it Jiang Xiyu who complained to you?

"I'm just afraid that your title will fall into the hands of those people. You know I've been fighting with their mother for most of my life. I don't want to live my life relying on those people."

She felt unwilling to accept the fact that Xu Rui's title would fall into the hands of the sons of those women.

"Then you can adopt another child. You should never use this dirty method. What do you think of your son and our mansion?" Xu Rui scolded harshly.

He simply couldn't understand why she would think of using this method to inherit the title when there were obviously many better ways.

Xu Rui had no idea of ​​Zheng and Xu Rong's little thoughts.

In addition to wanting a child to inherit the title of the Marquis, they also wanted to use the fact that Jiang Xiyu was defiled by Zhou Lai to control Jiang Xiyu, and wanted to get all the dowry from her so that she would be used by the Marquis for the rest of her life.

Of course, Zheng wouldn't tell Xu Rui about these things. She held Xu Rui's hand and pitifully admitted her mistakes, "It was mother's fault. Mother was confused for a moment and was bewitched by the devil. Mother has already admitted her mistakes. Isn't it okay for mother to change?"

Xu Rui suddenly waved Zheng's hand away and exposed her mercilessly, "Setting Jiang Xiyu on fire is your way of repenting."

Zheng's eyes suddenly widened, shocked and frightened.

She didn't expect that Xu Rui had only been back for less than half a day and had already found out everything she had done to Jiang Xiyu.

"Was it Jiang Xiyu who complained to you?" Zheng Shi saw that admitting her fault was useless, so she simply started to complain. "She was the one who started the fire in the Yonglin Marquis Mansion, and she still has the nerve to complain to you. What does she want to do? Does she want to burn down our entire Yonglin Marquis Mansion so that she can be buried with us?"

Seeing that she still hadn't realized her mistake, Xu Rui became even more angry. "It was because you hurt her first that she took action. If you didn't set fire to her, could she have someone set fire to the mansion?"

Hearing Xu Rui's blaming tone, Zheng felt very aggrieved, "I did that for you."

"For me?" Xu Rui couldn't understand at all.

Zheng felt a little guilty, but now that he knew everything, she didn't want to hide it from him anymore.

Zheng came closer to Xu Rui and spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"Before, I was confused and used that last trick. It wouldn't have been a big deal, but Jiang Xiyu has communicated with the spirits and said you are still alive and will be back in Beijing soon. I thought that Jiang Xiyu had been defiled by Lai'er and was naturally not worthy of you. I had to get rid of her so that I could find you a new wife."

Xu Rui didn't listen carefully to what Zheng said next. His focus was entirely on the first sentence, "What do you mean she has divine powers?"

When talking about Jiang Xiyu's spiritual power, Zheng's face unconsciously showed a trace of awe.

"Jiang Xiyu is really strange. Not only did she evade our calculations, she also beat Lai'er like that. When your aunt and I went up the mountain to catch you in adultery, she had just invited Master Wuming to perform a ritual for you in the main hall of Lanruo Temple. She said that she had received enlightenment from the Buddha and that you were not dead at all and would be able to return to the capital soon. At first we didn't believe it, but she repeatedly assured us that what she said was true."

Zheng grabbed Xu Rui's hand again and said, "In the end, you actually came back alive. Everything she said came true."

Xu Rui frowned in disbelief. "You said that before I returned home, Jiang Xiyu already knew that I was still alive? And she also said that I would be back in Beijing soon?"

It was obvious that Emperor Yun had only just learned about it, and he would never reveal this information to anyone. So how did Jiang Xiyu know that he was still alive?

"Yes, she said that it was the Buddha who told her everything. I didn't believe it at first, but she was right. When I was burning the ancestral hall, the Buddha even possessed her body and made me change my ways."

As she spoke, Zheng couldn't help showing fear.

Fearing that the Buddha would blame her, Zheng immediately put her hands together and silently said, "I know I am wrong, Buddha, please don't blame me, Buddha, please don't blame me."

As Zheng was speaking, she suddenly thought of something and said with a worried look on her face, "Rui'er, you said I did so many things to Jiang Xiyu, do you think she would ask the Buddha to punish me?"

Xu Rui was a little uneasy at Zheng's weird behavior, so he pretended to be calm and said, "Alright, stop imagining this. There are no gods or Buddhas in this world."

He has never believed in ghosts and gods.

Seeing Xu Rui talking nonsense, Zheng was so scared that she slapped him and said, "Don't talk nonsense. Thanks to the Buddha's blessing, you can return safely."

Zheng said this and clasped her hands together and chanted, "Amitabha, thank you for the Buddha's blessing."

Xu Rui couldn't stand Zheng's confusing behavior anymore and stood up suddenly. "Don't do these things again. This is the last time."

"I understand." Seeing Xu Rui angry, Zheng responded aggrievedly.

Xu Rui frowned and looked at her. "I'll go talk to Jiang Xiyu and ask her not to pursue this matter anymore."

"That's good." Zheng was actually really afraid that Jiang Xiyu would use the power of gods and Buddhas to seek revenge on her.

Now that Xu Rui has come forward, Jiang Xiyu loves Xu Rui so much, she definitely wouldn't dare to do anything to her.

Thinking of Jiang Xiyu, Zheng suddenly said, "By the way, Jiang Xiyu is no longer clean. If you really like Miss Lin, why not marry her as your equal wife?"

Xu Rui frowned suddenly, "What are you talking about?"

He was really impressed by her. She looked very afraid of Jiang Xiyu just now, and now she wanted him to marry a concubine. Now she was not afraid of Jiang Xiyu anymore?

Seeing that Xu Rui really didn't seem to be very keen on Lin Rouyu, Zheng was very happy.

"Actually, I also think Miss Lin is too weak and unworthy of you. After His Majesty's reward comes down this time, there will be many noble ladies willing to marry you. Then you can choose a beautiful woman with a good family background from among those noble ladies to be your co-wife."

If Jiang Xiyu was not the legitimate daughter of the General's Mansion, which would have been helpful to Xu Rui's career, she would have divorced Jiang Xiyu no matter what.

In addition, Jiang Xiyu is now versed in both gods and Buddhas, so she really doesn't dare to offend her for the time being. If she really divorces her, what will happen if the matter is brought to the Buddha?

So Jiang Xiyu will not move for the time being if she can.

"She is not unclean, Zhou Lai did not succeed." Xu Rui left after saying this.

Zheng looked at Xu Rui's angry back, and kept thinking about what Xu Rui had just said in her mind.

She suddenly realized something and immediately called Mother Li, "Where's the cousin?"

Mother Li was confused and said, "Our Shoukang Hall was burned to ashes. Deji, who was with the Marquis, just took the young master to the guest house for shelter."

Zheng panicked and said anxiously, "Go check on the young master and see if he's awake."

Just now, Xu Rui was so sure that Zhou Lai didn't succeed. Could it be that he went to see Zhou Lai?
