Looking at the four people, Liang Qiuli recalled how they went to the Marquis's mansion to demand an explanation for her after the original owner died in her previous life.

At that time, Liang's parents and his two older brothers were beaten to death on Xu Yuerao's orders and their bodies were dumped in a mass grave. If it weren't for Hongyu, probably no one would have collected their corpses.

The tears in her eyes could no longer be held back and streamed down her face.

"Father, Mother, Eldest Brother, Second Brother, it's so good to have you all."

Liang Qiuli spoke, her voice choked with emotion.

"Some things have indeed happened, but don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

However, I might need my two older brothers' help.

After calming herself down, Liang Qiuli told the four of them everything.

"What? Sending you to a desolate, cold place! The people from the Yongchang Marquis's mansion are far too arrogant and domineering!"

Upon hearing this, Liang Qiuli's second brother, Liang Wencheng, immediately slammed his fist on the table and stood up, his face full of anger.

“Our whole family has worked so hard for the Yongchang Marquis’s mansion, and this is how we end up. How dare they treat you like this!”

Liang Qiuli's elder brother, Liang Wende, also had a sullen face, his eyes flashing with resentment.

He had thought that by following Fei Wuxuan to the academy, he could eventually pass the imperial examinations and bring honor to his ancestors, but a single sentence from the Marquis's mansion cut off his path.

When the old lady of the Marquis's mansion sent my younger sister to be Fei Wuxuan's concubine, she made it sound so nice, saying that it would allow my younger sister to enjoy a life of luxury, and that when my younger sister became a concubine in the Marquis's mansion, my brothers and I would also benefit from it.

But now that the lady has entered the family, the younger sister is to be sent to a harsh and cold place. I'm afraid that lady even has the intention to kill the younger sister.

Liang Qiuli felt a mix of emotions. She gently patted her older brother's hand, signaling him to calm down.

Liang Qiuli already had a plan in mind. She not only wanted to make Xu Yuerao suffer, but also wanted to ruin Fei Wuxuan's future and even make her own family members climb over them to get ahead.

……

"Little sister, do you think these methods will work?"

Liang Wende's face was full of worry after hearing Liang Qiuli's plan.

They were just servants of the Marquis's mansion. Although they had signed a contract, they were still considered servants of the Marquis's mansion. If they were discovered, wouldn't they be in trouble?

"Don't worry about the indenture, I have my own solutions."

Just focus on your studies and do as I say.

As for your second brother, this money is for opening your shop, but these recipes are key to your success in making money.

Liang Qiuli wanted her elder brother to take the imperial examination route, and since the current emperor valued talent, as long as the emperor saw her brother's talent, his future would be secure.

Moreover, it would completely cut off Fei Wuxuan's chance to become a favorite of the emperor.

The second brother is responsible for earning money to support the family. He not only robbed Xu Yuerao of her money-making business in advance, but he will also be able to help the eldest brother in the officialdom in the future.

What do you think, Father and Mother?

Liang Qiuli knew that in this family, the people who could ultimately make the decisions were still her father and mother.

"Li'er, isn't this too risky? Why don't I go to the old lady and see if she can let you go to this cold and harsh place?"

Liang's mother was grateful that the Marquis's mansion had given her a place to stay when the old Marquis was alive, so from a young age, Liang's mother taught Liang Qiuli to be grateful and repay kindness.

but now……

"Mother, I understand what you mean. If I don't leave in a few days, the old lady will probably come looking for you. Then you'll understand."

Liang Qiuli understood her mother's thoughts. After all, without experiencing utter despair, it was indeed difficult to get people like them to rebel against the Marquis's mansion.

"Alright, you two go and take care of these things quietly. If the Marquis's mansion is truly heartless, then we won't be so easily bullied!"

Finally, Liang's father made the final decision, and Liang Qiuli and her two brothers exchanged smiles, both feeling reassured.

……

Liang Qiuli had lunch with her family, chatted for a while, and then returned to the front courtyard of the Marquis's residence.

Not long after returning, I heard that Fei Wuxuan had made a great impression in the academy's assessment that day and had even received praise from the teacher, who said that he would definitely make a name for himself in the upcoming spring examination.

"My lord, you are truly remarkable. I have heard about it all."

As soon as Fei Wuxuan returned, Liang Qiuli very tactfully went to greet him, her face full of admiration and joy.

Being looked at like that by Liang Qiuli, Fei Wuxuan was naturally in a great mood.

That idea popped into his head again.

By secretly keeping Liang Qiuli outside, Xu Yuerao wouldn't cause trouble, and Liang Wende could continue to work for his reputation.

It really kills two birds with one stone.

"Tonight, I will go to Wutong Courtyard first, and I will come to see you when I return."

Fei Wuxuan said in a low voice, his tone full of ambiguity.

However, he still needed to test Xu Yuerao's attitude before deciding whether Liang Qiuli would stay or leave.

"Alright, this servant will wait for the Marquis."

Liang Qiuli obediently responded, a shy blush appearing on her face.

Fei Wuxuan nodded in satisfaction, turned and left the front yard, heading towards the Wutong Courtyard.

Xu Yuerao was writing something with a pen and paper, but when she saw Fei Wuxuan arrive, she quickly hid the paper and put on a fake smile.

"Why has the Marquis come?"

She stood up and walked to the other side of the room, trying her best to keep Fei Wuxuan from paying attention to what she had just written.

"Let me see you."

Fei Wuxuan clearly did not notice Xu Yuerao's unusual behavior and walked straight to her side.

Xu Yuerao breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, she hadn't been discovered. The paper contained all the major events that had happened in her past life. She was afraid she would forget them over time, so she thought she should write them down first.

But she never expected that Fei Wuxuan would suddenly come to find her at this time.

"My lord, please speak plainly."

Xu Yuerao naturally didn't believe Fei Wuxuan's words about coming to see her. After all, he had been given the cold shoulder by her yesterday, and his sudden visit today must mean something was up.

“Nothing can be hidden from you, Madam. It’s like this, I would like to discuss with you the matter of our Marquis’s villas in the suburbs.”

Fei Wuxuan wanted to settle Liang Qiuli in a villa outside the city, so as long as Xu Yuerao didn't focus her attention there, everything would be fine.

Xu Yuerao was slightly taken aback. Whether in her past life or this life, she had never cared about these things, so she didn't expect Fei Wuxuan to suddenly bring this up. She answered casually.

"Your Excellency can decide for yourself."
