My house was confiscated and I was exiled. I emptied the emperor's warehouse and fled.

The old lady's stern eyes glanced over, and Fourth Master Qin Ji shrank his neck, not daring to look at her at all.

Like Qin Ji, who had been criticized by her mother-in-law for many years, Lin was speechless when faced with the old lady's questioning.

However, Qin Junyu was brave and took a step forward and said: "Grandma, Feicui wanted to recommend herself as a pillow mat. After being rejected by her grandson, she threatened her with death and asked me to take her into the room. Her grandson wanted to drive her out of the house for such a maid with evil intentions. The mansion has nothing to do with our family from now on."

"Old madam, young master, I know I was wrong. I beg you, for the sake of following me all the way, please give me another chance to stay. I will be loyal and responsible, and I will never have any wrongdoing again." Jade Cui There was no blood on his face, and he knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing.

When this matter came to the attention of the old lady, Jade knew that if she refused to give in and beg for mercy, there would be no good consequences.

The old lady has been eating salt for decades. How could she not see the calculation behind her pitiful and delicate face? She said coldly: "Then I will do as you wish and throw her out of the house tomorrow morning."

Qin Ji and Lin bowed their heads, not daring to say a word in rebuttal.

Hearing this, Jade paralyzed on the ground, and a trace of blood snaked down from her forehead, so miserable.

Seeing the old lady's final decision, she crawled a few steps and grabbed the hem of Lin's skirt as if grasping a life-saving straw, and said urgently: "Madam, I went to the young master's room under your order, you can't leave me alone! "

"Let go!" Mrs. Lin was so anxious that she was sweating profusely and pulled at the hem of her skirt, but Jade held her tighter.

The old lady was so angry that she swung the tea cup and it fell to Lin's feet and broke into several pieces. She angrily shouted: "Ms. Lin! What a stupid woman! Do you know that Brother Yu's marriage is related to the Qin and Chu families?" A big marriage event?!"

Mrs. Lin said aggrievedly: "Mom, my daughter-in-law just followed the rules of the world and asked Brother Yu to eat meat first."

The old lady said angrily: "Fuck you! If you dare to ruin the marriage, I want you to look good!"

Since the two babies were one month old, the old lady would go to the main courtyard to play with the babies almost every day.

She heard Su Yunwan accidentally mention that her territory was expanding rapidly, and the number of available talents could not keep up with the pace.

Among them, all the adult men of the Chu family, from Chu Shao to Chu Erlang, have been given important responsibilities and transferred to various places to play important roles in either literature or martial arts.

Chu Yi also resigned from the post of magistrate of Yanyun County and became Qin Junyi's local representative.

Patrolling the territory under his jurisdiction, appeasing the army and bringing peace to the people.

Mainly responsible for supervising the work of local officials, handling various New Deal implementation matters, and maintaining local stability.

He has a lot of power and a high degree of freedom. He is the envy of everyone in the officialdom.

The old lady knew the importance of the Chu family. After scolding Mrs. Lin, she cut through the mess and said, "Here comes someone! Lock Jade in the backyard woodshed and send him out of Beiling Village tomorrow morning."

"Old madam, this slave is innocent!" Feicui shouted, and she went to the doctor because of her illness. She shouted to Qin Ji: Master, master! My slave is willing to serve you. Please keep my slave! "

"Fourth! What's your business here?" The old lady narrowed her eyes and stared at Qin Ji majestically.

Qin Ji was so frightened that he fell to his knees with a plop, and his mind went blank: "Son... son..."

The humble and cowardly nature engraved in his bones showed up again, and he did not dare to say that he wanted to take a concubine.

The old lady looked at the cowardly and unspeakable concubine, with disdain and impatience in her eyes, and slammed the table: "If you don't tell me the whole story, don't talk anymore!"

"It was his son who wanted to bring Jade into his house. Lin was so jealous that he ignored the marriage and let Jade climb into Brother Yu's bed instead. My son has absolutely no bad intentions. I hope my mother will learn from it." Qin Ji was so frightened that he trembled. , telling the origin of the matter in one breath.

It turned out that when Qin Ji was young, the old lady treated him as a domestic slave. She never arranged for a maid to marry him, and she did not dare to take concubines privately after marriage.

Now that he has a pair of outstanding children, he has also taken on the role of steward of the Qin family's store. His four families have plenty of money, and they don't need to take orders from the old lady. He has finally become a veritable master of the Qin family.

Once people's situation improves, they want more.

Desire is hard to fill, nothing more than this.

Qin Ji is already old. Looking back on his past life, he feels that it is a great regret in his life that he did not have three wives and four concubines like his other brothers.

If you can make up for this, your life will be complete.

However, as the head of the family, Qin Junyi loved his wife as much as she loved her. He did not dare to bring up the matter of taking a concubine, so he had to focus on the four rooms, where his wife's maid Jade was.

Jade was an orphan after the war. She worked as an inconspicuous maid in the Qin Mansion in the northwest. She was used to seeing the Qin family's maids rise to become concubines, and she regarded this as her life goal to get rid of the menial and heavy work.

Between being dismissed and moving to Youzhou to continue serving the Qin family, as an orphan, she chose the latter without hesitation.

After arriving in Youzhou, her unattractive appearance caught Lin's eye and asked her to be her personal maid.

After being harassed by Qin Ji, Feicui cried to Lin and asked her to make the decision for herself.

Mrs. Lin had shared hardships with Qin Ji for many years, and her life finally got better, but her husband "returned to youth" and developed a romantic heart, which made her hate him so much that she almost broke her back teeth.

However, she did not dare to make the matter a big deal. If she brought it to her mother-in-law, she would definitely marry her husband.

Under Jade's secret guidance, Lin made a fool of herself and gave her to her son as his maid.

She said to herself over and over again: She didn't want her son to be laughed at by the bride because of his youthful ignorance during the bridal night, not because she wanted to make her husband die.

However, Qin Junyu didn't appreciate it at all and made it known to everyone. Now that Qin Ji had revealed everything, her face turned red with embarrassment and she wished she could bury her head in her chest to hide it.

"Mom! Is what dad said true?" Qin Ruoshan's face was full of shock.

Even in the chaos just now, her father asked for help and said, "If you all want her to serve, I can reluctantly take her into the room." She just said that her father was kind-hearted and couldn't bear for an orphan girl to leave her hometown, lose her support and fall into the wrong path.

Unexpectedly, her father had already had his mind set on her, and even caused trouble to her brother due to a quarrel between husband and wife.

At this moment, she felt that her father was extremely disgusting, and her mother was no longer the loving mother she had been in the past.

Mrs. Lin knew that she could never admit it. If she was accused of being a jealous wife, Qin Ji and the old lady could divorce her at any time if she violated the rule of seven outings.

She didn't want to end up in the same situation as Mr. Pei, and she only bit him to death for her son's good.

However, Qin Junyu didn't believe a word of this.

But as a son, even though he was extremely disappointed with his parents, he had to calm down and save the situation for them. He bent down and said, "Grandma, sister-in-law, let me handle this matter. I will definitely give you two a satisfactory outcome." Explain."

Su Yunwan had been watching with cold eyes for so long, and no longer knew what words to use to describe the fourth family couple, who once seemed to be loyal, honest, and caring towards their children.

It seems that people's temperament will really change dramatically with changes in circumstances.

She looked at the old lady and nodded slightly.

The old lady waved her hand and asked everyone in the fourth room to exit.

Only Luo Shi and Su Yunwan were left in the room. She said bitterly: "It seems that I am too good to the fourth child!"
