Spoiling my mistress and swallowing my dowry? After my rebirth, I changed my marriage to a powerful

Tu immediately told Zhang Qing to turn off the lights and hid behind the wall. Under the dim street lights in the yard, several people squatted in a row against the wall, like a black arthropod.

The group of people obviously saw them as well, and immediately turned off their lights and crouched down by the bushes.

Both groups remained silent, hiding in the darkness and spying on each other.

"The people across the street must be Lu, from the second house!" thought Tu.

"The people across the street must be the Tu family, they are from the eldest wife's family!" thought Lu.

Just when they were getting impatient, there was a sudden deafening shout of killing from Qing Puyuan, and the sound of weapons colliding "ding ding dang dang".

After a while, two dark shadows jumped onto the wall, but were knocked down by someone with a stick.

"Puff, puff, puff" was obviously the sound of a group fight.

"Ah~" Two screams.

Not long after, a black object was thrown out in a parabola and landed on the ground with a "dong~" "dong~". The sound was so painful!

The screams were so miserable that both Tu and Lu's scalps felt tingling.

The two black shadows seemed to be seriously injured, but they were still desperately running out of the house. Tu and Zhang Qing were confused about what was going on: Which courtyard are they from?

Several people walked out of Qingpu Courtyard, holding torches in their hands. Tu and Lu saw from afar that the leader was the black-faced guy named Beichen.

The man said to the shadow in the dark: "This is the first time, there won't be a next time, no matter who comes, their heads will fall off."

Tu felt that his words were meaningful, and there was no point in hiding at this time, so she stood up immediately and shouted, "What's going on?"

Zhang Qing also stood up, lit the lantern, and asked in a pretentious manner: "What happened?"

"Some villains actually wanted to steal from Qingpu Courtyard at night!" Bei Chen said, "No one is allowed to enter the courtyard of the elder without his permission."

Tu immediately ordered his men to catch the two limping thieves. After a moment of confusion, the servants caught the two thieves.

Tu and Zhang Qing saw that the two men's clothes had been cut off by swords and a piece of white bone on their arms was exposed.

Not from the mansion.

"Send him to the authorities." Tu was furious. The people in the mansion were coveting the third son's property, and now you, an outsider, are also thinking of coveting it?

Zhang Qing had the man tied up and thrown into the woodshed, and went to report to the authorities at dawn.

Tu said to Bei Chen angrily, "How did you see the yard? Why did you let people in?"

The female soldier said, "This is the first time. If you come again, we will not be polite. My lord and madam have ordered that anyone who invades without reason, steals or commits adultery will be beaten to death."

Tu said loudly to Zhang Qing, "Go to Qingpu Courtyard and help check if anything is missing or if there are any scoundrels hiding."

Zhang Qing wanted to take people in, but Bei Chen blocked the door: "No one is allowed in without an invitation."

"This is the courtyard of the elder, and also the courtyard of the Earl's Mansion. Why can't we enter?"

"cannot!"

"How funny! This is the courtyard of the Bo's Mansion. You are all servants of the Bo's Mansion. Don't forget your status. This is the Bo's wife, and you don't even invite her in?"

"Can't come in."

Tu said, "Do I have to go in?"

"Don't blame me for being rude."

"You can still kill people?"

"can!"

Tu said angrily: "I am bullying my master. I will report this to the government. I am going to ride on my master's neck!"

"You can file a complaint." Bei Chen said bluntly, "This courtyard belongs to the elder, and the entire mansion was awarded by His Majesty. You can file a complaint with the emperor."

While they were arguing, someone suddenly shouted in front of them: "There's a fire! There's a fire in the young lady's yard!"

Seeing the flames rising to the sky from Fanghua Garden, Tu was so scared that she quickly led her people to Fanghua Garden.

It’s amazing that Fanghua Garden is very close to several main courtyards.

The masters and servants who were able to get up in the yard brought people to put out the fire quickly.

There was a drought in the spring, and the fire broke out in the wing room where Gu Yuebai originally lived. Taking advantage of the north wind, the fire burned the small kitchen and several neighboring wing rooms.

It took the entire marquis's mansion a whole night to put out the fire.

The old lady pounded the bed, wiped her tears and said, "This is God's punishment for me. How could I be so unlucky? First, Yan'er was dismissed from his post, then he was demoted from marquis to earl, and the third brother and his wife abandoned me. Now they simply want to burn down the earl's house with a fire..."

Gu Boyu, Gu Zhongyu, Tu, and Xie Xiangxiang all knelt down and admitted their mistakes.

"It's all my fault. I didn't do my best and failed to manage the affairs of the mansion well, causing mother and grandmother to worry."

The old lady cried.

Tu thought of the two thieves who were detained last night, and asked Zhang Qing to report them to the police, telling him: "It doesn't matter whether they stole anything or not, they just said that something was missing. These habitual thieves have their own dens, and they must have stolen a lot of silver."

Zhang Qing limped and thought: When a goose passes by, its feathers are plucked; when an animal leaves, its skin is left. Now, Lady Bo wants to have a piece of the stolen goods?

As a result, Zhang Qing went to demolish the house to pick up the two thieves, but found that the door of the woodshed was ajar and the two thieves had disappeared long ago.

No matter who you ask, they all say that they were busy putting out the fire last night and didn't see the two thieves!

Zhang Qing said, "There must be some thief cooperating with them. The two thieves were beaten up by Qing Puyuan and tied up. How could they escape without his cooperation?"

Tu guessed that the fire might have been set by an insider.

Now that all the people in the third house are dead, who would think of colluding with outsiders to steal?

There is no one else except the second wife!

Tu and Lu went to Ci'en Court to take care of the old lady. Tu looked unhappy and said to Lu, "Did you set the fire?"

Lu stared, puzzled: "What do you mean?"

"You lured the tiger away from the mountain and let the thief go!"

"Bullshit! You went to steal things from the third brother's house but failed, and now you're discovered. You can only set the house on fire and try to save your life, right?"

"You're crying thief!"

"You are the biggest thief!"

The two sisters-in-law had a disagreement outside Ci'en Temple and slapped each other several times, pulling their hair apart.

Taxue came out and said, "Madams, please stop arguing. The old lady is still sick!"

The two of them stopped, cleaned themselves up and returned to Ci'en Temple.

Tu watched the old lady drink some porridge and said, "Mother, my third brother is in the Imperial City Department. Your Majesty has invited Yuanji Living Buddha for him. We can't hang mourning banners in the mansion, but we can't do nothing, right?"

The old lady said with tears in her eyes: "Call the eldest brother and discuss it."

Gu Boyu actually didn’t have any ideas. He just did whatever his mother said. But he was also very sad that his third brother was gone.

He just wanted to go see his third brother, but Leng Luo said that the emperor would not let anyone get close, and asked him to go back to the mansion and wait.

"Find a monk to chant sutras. No matter if it is useful or not, we will give them to my third brother and his wife."

Gu Boyu said gloomily, "When a person dies, all light disappears. There is no point in doing these things. I should have treated him better when he was alive."

The old lady cried, "Who treated him badly? He has been a minister for so many years and has never bullied anyone. What else do you want? The salary he gets every month is not even enough to pay for a few doses of medicine for me."

Tu immediately wiped her tears and said, "Yes, mother even married him a wife, the eldest daughter of the Xie family, who brought a huge fortune. How could mother treat him badly?"

Gu Boyu was annoyed. Women are so troublesome. You say one thing and they are waiting for eight hundred words.

"Okay, okay, you are all right." Gu Boyu said impatiently, "We need to do the ritual, and make those paper horses, paper cows, and paper yards."

Tu said, "Shall we ask the monks to pray for the souls of the deceased at Qingpu Temple?"

Gu Boyu didn't think too much about it and said, "Okay, you decide. Qingpuyuan is a big place, so it's fine to do it there."

When Tu received Gu Boyu's letter, she was immediately delighted and told Zhang Qing to gather all the servants in the mansion and go to Qingpuyuan to set up the mourning tent.

As long as you enter Qingpuyuan, even if you are an ant moving, you can empty Qingpuyuan after 49 days of prayers.
