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

"Reporting to Mother, the Marquis has gone out with his beloved concubine," Cui Ruixin replied indifferently.

"A concubine?" Zhao Ying was even more excited than the old lady.

"He actually took a concubine?!"

When Cui Ruixin saw her, a flash of disgust crossed her face, but with the Duke of Yingguo right there, she could only smile and reply, "Yes, Miss Zhao. My lord has taken a new concubine, whom he dotes on. He spends twenty days a month at her place."

She knew where Zhao Ying was feeling unwell, so she deliberately used words to provoke her.

As expected, Zhao Ying's face turned even uglier upon hearing this.

In this light, all the talk about not taking concubines was just empty words; Yu Kangping was simply toying with her feelings.

Cui Ruixin continued, "I wonder what brings Miss Zhao here today? Is it because you still wish to become the Marquis's concubine? Now that Mother has changed the rules of the Marquis's mansion for the Marquis's sake, it's not impossible for you to become a concubine..."

"Shut up! My daughter, how could she become a concubine! What I want to talk about now is how you ruined my daughter's marriage." The Duke of England interrupted her angrily.

Upon hearing this, Cui Ruixin's expression brightened; it seemed that things had been settled with her mother.

Zhao Ying's marriage is probably off, which is why she came to their door in such a panic.

"Duke of England, do you have any evidence to support your claim?" With Yu Kangping not around, the old lady dared not speak too definitively.

What if it really is that wicked person who secretly sabotaged this?

“We don’t accept things that are not based on evidence,” Cui Ruixin echoed.

"Who else but you would do such a thing!" Zhao Ying shouted in despair.

"That's not necessarily true. Who knows if Miss Zhao has offended others? After all, our Marquis isn't the only married man." Cui Ruixin's words were barbed.

"I didn't!" Zhao Ying couldn't bear such an injustice and burst into tears on the spot.

"Father, they're bullying me, waaaaaah!"

"You want evidence, huh? Just you wait!" The British duke said, somewhat annoyed.

In the heat of the moment, without any evidence, he rushed over with his daughter.

Once he finds the evidence, he will make them beg for mercy on their knees.

The two men came in a rage and left in a rage.

"Is this really none of your business?" The old lady stared at Cui Ruixin suspiciously.

“Why is my daughter-in-law doing such a thankless task? Right now, all I want to do is raise Ziche and the other boys well and find a good husband for Weiwei.” Cui Ruixin sighed.

Seeing that she couldn't get anything out of her, the old lady sent her away.

When Yu Kangping returned, they called him over to ask him questions.

"You didn't orchestrate Zhao Ying's marriage, did you?"

"The day she left the Marquis's mansion, she changed from Liu Ying'er to Zhao Ying, the daughter of the Duke of Yingguo, and we had no further connection!" Yu Kangping quickly denied.

"Is this really true?" The old lady was somewhat skeptical of her son.

After all, she still vividly remembered how he had drowned his sorrows in alcohol for Liu Ying'er.

“It’s more real than pearls.” Yu Kangping nodded vigorously.

Now that he has Chun Que, he can no longer remember what Liu Ying'er looks like.

"Alright, it's none of your business now." The old lady waved her hand, signaling him to leave.

Jade had already obtained crucial information from Wanxiang Hall and immediately returned to report to the Madam.

Shen Jinzhu was puzzled after hearing this and couldn't help but mutter, "My brother and sister-in-law shouldn't be that confused. It won't do them any good if Zhao Ying's marriage is ruined."

My goodness, you can't judge evil people with ordinary mindsets.

There are always people in this world who can't stand to see you doing well.

Yu Ningyao could only respond with her own internal monologue.

For the first time, she hated that she was only a little over a year old.

Waaah, I can't even have a pleasant gossip chat with my mom anymore!

"Forget it, it's none of our business anyway. Let's just close the door and live our own lives." Shen Jinzhu was too lazy to dwell on it and gave her daughter a big kiss.

"My darling is so beautiful. Shall I have someone make you a few more outfits?"

After saying that, he pulled her to pick out fabrics.

Do you like this color?

"Do you like this style?"

Yu Ningyao was dragged around choosing and choosing until she fell asleep.

……

A few days later, Minister Cui arrived at the Marquis's residence.

"Father, why are you here?" Cui Ruixin asked, somewhat puzzled, when she saw her father.

"You unfilial daughter, now that you're married, you're no longer a member of the Cui family. Why do you still do things that tarnish the reputation of my Cui family!" Minister Cui saw his daughter and slapped her across the face.

Cui Ruixin was stunned by the blow.

"Dad, what are you doing?"

She looked at her father in disbelief.

"The Duke of England has already come knocking on our door for what your mother has done. Breaking up a marriage is a crime punishable by lightning. How could you let your mother do such a shameless thing?!" Minister Cui's beard trembled with anger.

Cui Ruixin never expected that the Duke of England would be so capable, investigating even her mother.

She couldn't help but complain inwardly:

How could my mother be so careless?

"From today onwards, I will no longer allow your mother to come to the Marquis's residence. Except for the New Year, you should not return to the Cui family at any other time. If Ziche and his brothers want to come, I will send someone to pick them up." Minister Cui blushed with shame at the thought of what the Duke of Yingguo had said when he came to his door.

"Father, do you no longer recognize me as your daughter?" Cui Ruixin took two steps back in astonishment, a tear rolling down her cheek.

“You have done things that have tarnished the reputation of the Cui family. The fact that I haven’t expelled you from the family register is already the greatest leniency I can show,” Minister Cui said coldly, staring at her.

Cui Ruixin's heart felt as if it had been frozen by the snow of December, completely cold.

She covered her face and glared at her father with hatred.

"Father, why are you blaming me? If anyone's ruining a marriage, it was Liu Ying'er who ruined my marriage with the Marquis first. She's not afraid of being struck by lightning, so why should I be afraid!"

“Which man doesn’t have multiple wives and concubines? You’ve been the mistress of the Marquis’s mansion and have been the sole favorite for so many years. You should be content.” Minister Cui looked at his daughter with disappointment.

"With your condition, how can you possibly manage the Marquis's mansion? I don't want you to end up being sent back home by the Marquis's mansion and losing your position as the mistress of the mansion."

These words completely shattered Cui Ruixin's already fragile heart.

After finishing his speech, Minister Cui turned and left the Marquis's residence.

When the news reached the old lady's ears, she was extremely disappointed.

He immediately ordered that Yu Kangping was not allowed to bring her to the palace banquet during the Lunar New Year this year.

To avoid making any more mistakes and disgracing the Marquis's mansion.

Upon hearing this news, Cui Ruixin's body, which had only recently recovered, was once again devastated.

She fell ill again.

With her illness, the courtyard became even more leaky, like a sieve.

Anyone can plant a spy in her yard.

Shen Jinzhu bribed a maid in the main courtyard and learned the reason for the quarrel between Minister Cui and Cui Ruixin.

"She actually got her family to do this?"

The image of the Taoist priest from last time suddenly flashed into Shen Jinzhu's mind.

Could it be that the reason they couldn't find the person who bribed the Taoist priest in the manor last time, just like the reason Liu Ying'er's marriage was ruined this time, was that Cui Ruixin's mother sent someone to do it?
