The entire Marquis's mansion regrets it? Too late, their little one has become the darling of t

Cui Ruixin knew, of course, that these were not her earrings.

She bestowed these earrings upon all the top-ranking maids around her.

Not only spring orioles, but also summer fireflies, autumn cicadas, and winter cranes all have a pair.

"Blocked? Do you have any proof?" Cui Ruixin pressed aggressively.

"I..." Chunying was speechless for a moment.

“Chunying, I know you resent the madam for harming your sister. But your sister willingly became the Marquis's concubine. You've wronged her.” Donghe stepped in to deliver the final blow.

“I didn’t…” Chunying’s mind was a complete mess.

With her sister not around, she didn't know how to refute the evidence that was unfavorable to her.

"The evidence is irrefutable, do you still want to deny it?" Xia Ying pressed.

He also kicked Zhao Er, who was lying on the ground.

"If you don't tell the truth, we'll report you to the authorities!"

The veins on the back of Yu Kangping's hand, which was gripping the chair, were bulging, clearly indicating that his anger had reached its peak.

At this moment, the servant who had gone to search for the silver returned and confirmed that there were forty-eight taels of silver in Zhao Er's room.

Yu Kangping completely believed what Cui Ruixin and the others said.

He slapped Chunying across the face, making her ear bleed, which showed how strong he was.

Seeing this, Zhao Er, who was on the ground, was afraid that the Marquis would use even harsher methods to deal with him, so he hurriedly said, "I will talk, I will tell you everything."

He recounted, with tears streaming down his face, how Chunying had come to him to slander Cui Ruixin.

“I have contracted a sexually transmitted disease and will die sooner or later, so I thought I would earn some money before I die to leave to my family. Please, Lord Marquis, spare me this time.”

Upon hearing that he had contracted a venereal disease, everyone in the room took several steps back, afraid that they would be infected if they got too close.

The truth is now clear.

Yu Kangping immediately ordered the two men to be sold off.

Just then, Chun Que, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, ran in.

"My lord, what did my sister do to anger you? Can I atone for her sins? Please don't sell her. Waaaaah!" She knelt at Yu Kangping's feet, sobbing uncontrollably.

Yu Kangping, considering her young age, did not kick her away. He suppressed his anger and said, "She did such a rebellious thing, and you still plead for her. Do you also want to get out of the Marquis's mansion?"

Chunying opened her mouth, as if to say that the plan was Chunque's idea and that she was the one who carried it out.

Unexpectedly, Chunque rushed over and hugged her.

"Waaah, sister, what should I do? I can't bear to leave you. If you leave, I'll have no family left."

After Chunque finished crying loudly, she lowered her voice and whispered in her ear, "Sister, I'm carrying the Marquis's child. I can't afford to have anything happen to me."

Chunying was taken aback, then gave a wry smile.

Last time, she caused her sister to lose her child; this time, she cannot continue to harm her.

So Chunying didn't say anything, but just looked at her with a complicated expression.

If only I hadn't sent my sister to help Madam carry out her plan to seduce the Third Master...

Wait till dawn.

Yu Kangping sold Chunying and Zhao Erfa, and Chunque fainted from crying as she watched her sister leave.

When he saw her faint, Yu Kangping called a doctor, only to learn that she was pregnant.

He was taken aback, the surprise from last time gone. He simply instructed the servants to take good care of Chunque, then turned and left.

With Cui Ruixin's example as a precedent, even though he has had intimate relations with Chunque, he cannot be 100% certain that the child in her womb is his.

This matter naturally reached Cui Ruixin's ears as well.

"That little slut, how come she's pregnant again!" she exclaimed angrily.

"Madam, please don't be angry. The most important thing now is to recover your health," Donghe quickly comforted her.

Cui Ruixin took a deep breath, suppressing her anger: "You did very well today. You were very clever."

She looked at Donghe with satisfaction and rewarded her with a golden hairpin.

Donghe was flattered and quickly thanked her, saying, "It's all for you, Madam."

When she found Lao Du, she was afraid that witnesses alone would not be enough, so she gave him her earring and asked him to give false testimony.

She remembered that the lady had given each of the four of them a pair of those earrings.

However, Chunying was too anxious today and didn't think of this at all.

……

The old lady's peaceful seventh day after death was disrupted, and Yu Ningyao was frightened again.

The third family was afraid she would be scared, so they stayed with her all night.

Only when it was dawn did I feel at ease enough to go back and catch up on my sleep.

With no servants coming to report on the affairs of the main branch, Yu Ningyao was extremely anxious.

What happened next?

What happened after they left the mourning hall? Why hasn't Jade gone to find out and come back to tell her mother?

Yu Ningyao couldn't wait any longer and asked the system directly.

The system then recounted everything that had happened in the main room.

Yu Ningyao: ? ? ?

So all her acting for nothing last night.

Cui Ruixin still hasn't been driven away.

Instead, Chunying was sold off.

Yu Ningyao couldn't help but sigh: "Cui Ruixin is truly a master of palace intrigue. Even Chun Que and Chun Ying, two against one, couldn't defeat her."

The system nodded in agreement: "Indeed."

No wonder you were tricked so badly in your past life, while her reputation was impeccable.

Yu Ningyao let out a breath:

[Fine, fine, at least she got ten lashes, at least she'll be quiet for a while and won't have time to deal with us.]

[Just the fact that Chunque has a child is enough to keep her busy.]

Yu Ningyao is content with what she has and finds happiness in it.

The eldest branch of the family is in complete chaos. They don't even need to pay their respects to the old Marquis anymore. The third branch can just close their doors and live their lives peacefully, which is not much different from splitting up the family property.

Life is pretty good.

As she had predicted, the main house fell completely quiet after the incident.

Yu Kangping did not intend to divorce his wife.

Because he also realized that something was wrong with the child in Cui Ruixin's belly.

Even if an adult survives ten strokes of the cane, how could the child possibly be alright?

After discussing it with the old Marquis, he decided to use the pretext of performing a ritual to help his mother pass on to the afterlife to invite a master who could exorcise ghosts.

Let him see what's really inside Cui Ruixin's belly.

However, before he could find a reliable and suitable master, his second brother, Yu Kangnian, returned.

When Yu Kangnian returned, his biological mother, Aunt Rong, was the happiest.

After they offered incense to the old lady, she wanted to take her son, daughter-in-law, and two grandsons back to the house to talk.

Unexpectedly, Yu Kangnian rejected him.

“Aunt, I’ll take Yining, Lie’er, and Xi’er to meet our family first. We haven’t been home for a long time, and I’m afraid they’ve all forgotten about us.”

"Alright." Aunt Rong could only watch them leave with reluctance.

Yu Kangnian took his wife and children to visit the eldest son's family first.

Using the excuse that Cui Ruixin was unwell, Yu Kangping dismissed them after saying a few words.

After leaving the main house, Zhao Yining couldn't help but ask, "Husband, don't you think my elder brother and sister-in-law are acting strangely?"

Yu Kangnian said with a stern face, "Alright, watch your words and actions, and don't talk about your elder brother and sister-in-law behind their backs."

Zhao Yining silently shut her mouth, took her two children, and followed her husband to the third house.

Yu Ningyao knew that the second branch of the family was coming, so she prepared and waited early on.

Emerald and Glass chatted as they watched her eagerly anticipating the moment.

"Miss seems particularly happy today."

"Yes, although she can only wear plain-colored clothes, Miss still spent a long time picking out new clothes today."

Yu Ningyao overheard their conversation and couldn't help but think to herself: Nonsense, the old lady is dead, they can't go out, and many entertainment activities have been suspended.

She was overjoyed to finally have a new face.

I heard that my second uncle and aunt are officials in Lingnan. They must have had many interesting experiences along the way.

Moreover, she also wanted to know whether the second wife's family was easy to get along with.
