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

“Mother, of course I’m willing, cough cough cough. But the nanny still wants me to learn etiquette, and I’m still recovering from a cold, I’m afraid, cough cough cough.”

Shen Jinzhu covered her mouth with a handkerchief, coughing until tears streamed down her face, looking sickly.

Yu Kangjing couldn't bear to see his wife suffer, so he hurriedly said, "Mother, my sister-in-law has been in charge of the New Year's gifts for so many years, there won't be any problems. Let her make amends by handling the New Year's gifts properly, and I won't hold the matter of poisoning her against her."

The old lady was speechless.

Shen Jinzhu covered her face with a handkerchief, pretending to be weak, but she was actually laughing out loud in her heart.

The mother-in-law didn't want to punish Cui Ruixin at all; she clearly wanted her to make her contribute to the New Year's gifts.

She was foolish before, and actually believed the saying that the Marquis's family was all connected, and that the Marquis's family's reputation was her reputation.

Therefore, I give it my all.

Now, she has come to terms with it.

She has three sons to rely on, and her husband treats her very well, so he would never divorce her.

Now, as long as she can get away with things superficially, she doesn't need to be genuinely good to them.

After all, her efforts will only raise a bunch of ungrateful wretches.

The matter ultimately ended with Li being expelled from the Marquis's residence and Chunque becoming Yu Kangping's concubine.

Having lost a capable assistant, Cui Rui was in a daze.

She wanted to torment Chunying even more, but Chunying was taken away by the Marquis again.

After a series of blows, Cui Ruixin fell seriously ill.

When her mother, Lady Liu, learned of this, she rushed to the Marquis's residence to visit her.

"My poor little girl, how did she become so thin?" As soon as Liu saw her daughter, she couldn't help but hug her tightly, tears streaming down her face.

"Mother, they all bully me. They even drove away the nanny. I'm such a pathetic mistress of the Marquis's mansion, I can't even protect my own people." When Cui Ruixin saw her mother, she instantly reverted to her pre-marriage self, hugging her mother and sobbing.

She recounted everything that had happened during that time.

“My third brother and sister-in-law are too aggressive. My nanny was only trying to help me, hoping that the Marquis would come to visit me more often. Why can’t they just let her go?” Cui Ruixin said, feeling more and more aggrieved.

"I have already agreed to the Marquis taking a concubine, so why won't you even leave me a nanny?"

"How could you be so impulsive?" Madam Liu frowned after hearing this.

"With things getting out of hand like this, the dowry that the third wife promised to give Weiwei is probably not going to stand."

Upon hearing this, Cui Ruixin's temper flared up.

"If it doesn't count, it doesn't count. Weiwei is my daughter. How could I possibly mistreat her?"

"Besides, ever since they had their own daughter, they haven't cared about Weiwei at all. In the past, after work, my third brother would come to see Weiwei at most every other day. Now, he hasn't come even once."

Cui Ruixin became more and more depressed as she spoke.

She first disliked Yu Ningyao, and now she hates the entire third branch of the family.

"Ultimately, the problem still lies with that child. It's a pity that the Taoist priest couldn't get rid of the child last time," Liu said, sounding somewhat disappointed.

Hearing her mention the past, Cui Ruixin's eyes lit up: "Mother, can you help me ruin Liu Ying'er's marriage and frame the third branch of the family?"

Madam Liu frowned slightly and hesitated.

"Mother, my nanny isn't here with me, and none of my maids are reliable. Please lend me two of them to help me," Cui Ruixin pleaded.

Last time, it was also my mother who sent someone to find the old Taoist priest. This time, with my mother's help, I'm sure the third branch of the family won't be able to find her family.

This is the best way.

Under Cui Ruixin's combination of coquettishness and tantrums, Liu finally agreed to help her daughter.

……

South of the city.

Xu Zhen's mother, Zhang, was busy arranging her son's wedding.

She never imagined in her life that her son would be able to marry into the British Duke's family.

However, since the British Duke comes from a wealthy and powerful family, his son will inevitably suffer injustice in the future.

As the mother-in-law, she'll probably have to be careful in serving that young lady.

Sigh, while other women serve their mothers-in-law, she has to serve her daughter-in-law.

Zhang felt a little uneasy.

Just then, a cheerful voice suddenly came from outside the door:

"Sister Zhang, are you there? I have a good marriage proposal for your son."

Upon closer inspection, Zhang recognized her as Song, the famous matchmaker from the south of the city.

She was somewhat puzzled: "My son is already engaged to the daughter of the Duke of England. You must have come to the wrong place."

"What?" the matchmaker exclaimed, covering her mouth. "Which girl from the Duke of Ying's mansion is it?"

"Why should I tell you?" Zhang looked warily at the matchmaker who had come to her door.

The matchmaker, Song, said helplessly, "Sister Zhang, I've come this time because the daughter of that wealthy man Li in the west of the city has taken a liking to your son and is willing to provide a hundred acres of fertile land and five thousand taels of silver as dowry."

Upon hearing this number, Zhang swallowed hard.

"so much?"

The daughter of a wealthy landowner and her son were quite a good match.

"That's right." The matchmaker nodded.

"Sister-in-law Zhang, tell me, which young lady from the Duke's mansion is your son engaged to? After all, I've heard some rumors lately..."

"What's going on?" Zhang's curiosity was immediately piqued.

The matchmaker remained silent, waiting for her to speak.

Zhang hurriedly replied, "It's the eldest daughter of the Duke of Ying's family, named Zhao Ying."

"That's right!" Matchmaker Song clapped her hands suddenly, then lowered her voice and said, "I've heard that this young lady has given birth, and the child died. I heard that with her health, she won't be able to raise children in the future."

"What!" Zhang was so shocked that she took several steps back.

No wonder the Duke's family was willing to lower themselves to form a marriage alliance with them.

It turns out the daughter was a hen that couldn't lay eggs.

"Ouch, what a loose tongue of mine." Matchmaker Song lightly slapped herself. "I shouldn't have said this, but your son is such a handsome young man. It would be such a pity if he were to be tricked into marriage like this."

"Just pretend I didn't say anything. I'm leaving now."

The matchmaker, Song, left in a panic.

Zhang didn't have time to chase after her; she paced anxiously back and forth in the room.

After waiting for a long time, my son finally came home.

She rushed over immediately: "Have they explained the situation of the eldest daughter of the Duke of England to you?"

"I've explained it clearly." Xu Zhen nodded.

“My eldest daughter was sick before, so she found a man to marry in order to bring her good luck. They divorced after only six months of marriage. I am her second husband, so I can accept it.”

"What about the child? Have they said anything about the child?" Zhang asked anxiously.

"Child? What child?" Xu Zhen was completely dumbfounded.

"I've heard that Zhao Ying had a child before, but she lost it. She won't be able to have children anymore." Zhang's face turned red with anxiety.

“I gave birth to five daughters for the Xu family before you became our only son. If you marry someone who can’t have children, then our Xu family line will end.”

"Mother, where did you get this news from?" Xu Zhen was somewhat dazed after hearing it.

Zhang then told her about the matchmaker, Song, who had come to arrange a marriage that day.

Xu Zhen had some doubts.

He had never even met the daughter of that wealthy man Li, so how could she have taken a liking to him?

He even went out of his way to tell his mother about the secrets of the eldest daughter of the Duke of England.

He felt that something was amiss.
