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

"He won't refuse, will he?"

"Then you have to ask."

The rough man was straightforward and his brain was even straighter. Li Guangkun and Sima Gu left the soldiers they were training behind and rode to the Second Master's mansion.

When they arrived at the "Second Master's Mansion", they knocked on the door for a while, and Liang Youbin came running to open the door.

Li Guangkun and Sima Gu looked at the young man in front of them and felt that he looked a little familiar. They asked, "Where is the Second Master?"

Liang Youbin said politely: "Second Master is out on business."

"Where did you go to do business?"

"Second Master didn't tell me, so I don't know."

Sima Gu was a little unwilling and said, "Isn't General Wang under the Second Master's control? Where is he?"

"General Wang didn't tell me, so I don't know."

"Fuck you, as a housekeeper, you don't know anything. What do you do for a living?"

Liang Youbin was still respectful and said, "You all know the Second Master. He never tells us what he does."

"You..." Sima Gu was really angry, "You won't harm the Second Master, will you? If you don't tell me, I will report you to the police and say that you harmed the master and occupied his house."

Liang Youbin scratched his head and said, "Why don't you go ask the Duke?"

The more Sima Gu and Li Guangkun thought about it, the more they felt that Yin Jinan must have taken the turtle knife to the war.

I felt so upset. How long has it been since they last fought a war?

For more than ten years, you have been just talking nonsense. Are you still a soldier?

Nothing was learned at the Second Master's Mansion, so the two went straight to the Duke's Mansion. The Duke was not at home either, and the doorman said, "The Duke went to Qingpu Garden."

Li Guangkun said to Sima Gu: "Maybe the Duke is asking the old lady for a coach."

He guessed correctly. Duke Xun was indeed borrowing something from Qingpu Garden, not a coach. He wanted to borrow the palace soldiers to stimulate the already crippled Yin family army.

Xie Zhaozhao politely invited him to have tea and said with a smile: "My Lord, the palace soldiers are all out on a mission and are not at home. I'm sorry."

Yin Xiushan couldn't help but ask, "Old Second and Wang Li are not here either. Did they go to do something with your palace soldiers?"

Xie Zhaozhao shook his head: "I don't know where Du Yuhou is."

Yin Xiushan had a hunch that Xie Zhaozhao was lying, but since she didn't want to say it, he didn't want to ask "Where did your soldiers go?"

Seeing him struggling, Xie Zhaozhao smiled and said, "Duke, Du Yuhou and I are friends. I'd like to speak frankly about some things. You wouldn't mind, right?"

The Duke thought she was going to talk about military training, so he immediately promised, "Just tell me what you want to say."

"Pei Kunfu pleaded guilty and was executed. His entire family was confiscated and exiled. The women were either sent to the Music Bureau or sold. Your young mistress bought the criminal Pei and gave her four maids and two guards. She is now living in the south city. If someone reports this, I'm afraid the Duke's Mansion will be in trouble."

Xie Zhaozhao always spoke slowly, but Yin Xiushan was struck by lightning.

Your Majesty did not pursue the Duke's Mansion for the crime, which was already a grace from heaven. But Pei Yue actually spent a large sum of money to buy a pension for the guilty woman, and even provided her with maids, servants, guards, and servants to support her?

Is this a sign of dissatisfaction with His Majesty? Or has the Duke's Mansion had enough of the good life?

He stood up and said, "Madam, I'm going back now. I'll visit you another day."

After leaving Qingpuyuan, I rode to No. 3 Courtyard in Tianhou Lane in South City.

That’s right, it was the yard where Gu Chengyan hid Guan Yingying.

After the two men died, Gu Zheng sold the yard. Coincidentally, the buyer was Pei Yue.

Yin Xiushan was a military general with good martial arts skills. He tied his horse under the archway and climbed over the wall.

From the wall next to Courtyard No. 3, you can see everything inside Courtyard No. 3.

Not only Mrs. Pei was in the yard, but also Pei Yue's two nieces.

Although Mrs. Pei's clothes were not as luxurious as those in the Shangshu Mansion, she was definitely at the level of an old lady in a minor official's family.

Duke Xun returned home from South City with a gloomy face.

Seeing his unhappy expression, the Duke's wife asked, "What's the matter?"

He did not answer, but called the butler, "Da Hai, call the eldest son and the young mistress."

Yin Jinzhuo is teaching Pei Yue how to write.

Yin Jinzhuo has been studying under famous artists since he was young and has a very good foundation in calligraphy and painting.

Pei Yue admired his paintings and calligraphy very much and loved them like treasures.

The housekeeper called out from outside the door, "Young Master, the Master wants you to go to the front yard to discuss matters."

Yin Jinzhuo put down his pen. Pei Yue had already packed up Yin Jinzhuo's calligraphy and paintings. The two of them followed the housekeeper to the front yard.

Seeing her parents-in-law, Pei Yue looked weak and frail, and bowed: "Father, Mother."

"Father, what do you want to talk to me about?" Yin Jinzhuo asked politely.

Yin Xiushan was furious and said with a sullen face, "Although you don't have to go to the court to serve, you should also go to the training ground. What are you doing staying at home all day?"

The Duke's wife felt sorry for her son and quickly tried to smooth things over: "It's been too hot these days, I'm afraid he'll get a heat stroke."

"Damn it, are you a delicate flower in a greenhouse? Do you still need someone to fan you when you go to the battlefield?"

Yin Xiushan said angrily, "Let me ask you, the Pei family has been severely punished by His Majesty, do you know why the Duke's Mansion is fine?"

"This is because His Majesty considers the Duke's loyalty over the years and does not suspect him and will not be implicated," said the Duke's wife.

"But the eldest brother and Pei openly bought the guilty woman Pei and the younger generation of the Pei family at a high price, and raised them with luxurious clothes and delicious food. Do they think that His Majesty is too good to us?"

Pei was convicted and couldn't escape, but she bought him and raised him up?

Isn't this just asking the censors to impeach you?

The Duke's wife was so angry that her chest hurt.

"Pei, did you do this?"

Yin Jinzhuo immediately excused Pei Yue: "My son bought it. Madam Pei is Yue'er's biological mother. Lord Pei has passed away. Yue'er is filial, so my son will help her if he can."

The Duke's wife said angrily, "Madam Pei? Lord Pei? What kind of wife is a convict? Do you have too much money? Buy a convict and raise her as your own mother? You are easily influenced, and this bitch must have instigated it again."

He slapped Pei Yue twice, and she knelt down crying and begging for forgiveness.

"Please forgive me, father and mother."

Yin Xiushan was too lazy to watch her performance and said gloomily, "Yin Jinzhuo, you will move out of the prince's exclusive courtyard today. Pei is under house arrest and is not allowed to go out without my order."

Pei Yue burst into tears and looked at Yin Jinzhuo with tearful eyes.

Yin Jinzhuo knelt down and said, "Father, if I move to my second brother's yard, won't I be laughed at by the whole mansion? How can I be equal to someone like Yin Jinan?"

Someone like Yin Jinan? Haha!

Yin Xiushan looked at his eldest son, who was taught little by little by a famous teacher hired by his wife. He was well-educated, proud and arrogant, and was a handsome and popular young man in the eyes of the noble ladies in the capital.

He once thought that people like Yin Jinzhuo were the standard for civil servants.

But Duke Xun is a duke on horseback, and is definitely not a weak and frail young man who has no brains and is powerless.

"From now on, I will personally take over all the power under the Duke's Mansion. All the shops and properties in the mansion will be handed over to Yin Dahai and Aunt Yao. Pei is not allowed to interfere in the family affairs." He even took his anger out on the Duke's wife, "You, live out your days in the mansion!"

Yin Dahai was the housekeeper, and Aunt Yao was the maid who served Yin Xiushan's mother when she was alive.

The wife of the Duke was also deprived of her right to manage household expenses.

Yin Jinzhuo knelt down and crawled to his feet, and said with red eyes: "Father, how can you treat your son like this? You asked me to move out of the original courtyard and deprived me of the power to control the Yin family army. Are you trying to force your son to death?"

Yin Xiushan sneered, "How did you plot against your brother? Also, for more than ten years, you have turned the Yin family army into waste. You have wasted a generation, Yin Jinzhuo!

Forget it, it's settled. Anyone who says another word will be expelled from the mansion."
