The wife of a marquis died tragically and was divorced. After her rebirth, she killed people everywh

Xie Liuzheng initially thought that the people who secretly harmed her were Xie Liuhui and her sisters, but Xiao Si's death made her doubt her guess.

?

The Xie Liuhui sisters have only been in the mansion for over a month. They don't have anything worth showing off except some jewelry and clothes given by Xie Xiangyu. Are they really capable of buying off the people in the mansion in such a short time?

?

But if it wasn't Sister Xie Liuhui, who else would hate her so much?

?

Xie Liuzheng couldn't think of an answer for a moment, so he could only instruct Qiuyue and others to be vigilant and secretly let Fang Cheng continue the investigation.

?

Because of the generosity of Mrs. Feng in giving medicine last time, Xie Liuzheng came to express his gratitude and presented a few pieces of new fabrics. "It turned out to be a new pattern that the masters had thought of. It looks generous and simple. If the old lady doesn't mind, please keep it as a reward."

?

Madam Feng stroked the material that Xie Liuzheng had brought and sighed softly, "Miss Xie is thoughtful. You are a smart person, and I might as well tell you the truth."

?

"Because there is a royal concubine in the family, I am always walking on thin ice, afraid that someone will find fault with me and implicate the royal concubine."

?

"All I want is for my family to live in peace and security. I don't want to get involved in other things."

?

"These materials are all excellent, and are not inferior to the materials awarded by the imperial concubine in previous years. I like them very much, but I cannot accept them. I'm sure Miss Xie can guess the reason with her intelligence. Miss Xie should take these things back, and there is no need to send them to me in the future."

?

Xie Liuzheng stood up and bowed deeply to Madam Feng, "Madam, Liuzheng is not here to give you anything. I just came to see you under the pretext of giving you something."

?

"Liu Zheng has seldom had parents to accompany and teach him since he was a child. When he saw the old lady, he felt very close to her. He always looked forward to seeing the old lady. Even if he was just scolded by you, Liu Zheng would be happy."

?

"To be honest, I don't know how much I envy the young ladies in your mansion. I don't envy their status, but I envy them for having a grandmother like you, who can always listen to your teachings."

?

"The old lady is worried that Liu Zheng wants to use you to elevate the status of the Xie family. In fact, she has misunderstood Liu Zheng. However, what the old lady is worried about is very true. It is Liu Zheng who is selfish. Liu Zheng will not dare to disturb the old lady easily in the future. Please take care of yourself, old lady."

?

Old Madam Feng didn't expect Xie Liuzheng to speak so bluntly, and she didn't know how to respond.

?

After a moment of silence, she stood up and said, "It's not that I don't want you to come, but you always give me so many things, and I don't have anything to give in return, so I'm just making fun of you."

?

He no longer called her "Miss Xie" all the time, and his tone became more casual.

?

Xie Liuzheng lowered her head and wiped away her tears, then said earnestly, "Liuzheng really didn't think that much, I just regarded the old lady as the closest and most respected elder, and when I got something good, I thought of giving you a portion to please you."

?

"Liu Zheng will not act recklessly from now on. The old lady will not blame Liu Zheng."

?

Old Madam Feng felt even worse.

?

Within two years of her marrying into the Feng family, her parents-in-law passed away one after another. The old man was not able to support himself, and he became an official with the help of a little grace from his ancestors, but the whole family, young and old, could not even feed themselves.

?

It was only because she managed the two dowry shops that the Feng family was able to avoid being embarrassed in front of others.

?

Ten years later, her grandfather passed away. She was left alone to raise three underage children, and life was extremely difficult.

?

Unconsciously, the girl who used to blush every time she spoke has turned into a strong and cold old lady.

?

She knew that her personality was not liked by the younger generations. Her grandchildren avoided her like a cat or a mouse when they saw her. They would not speak if possible and would stay as far away from her as possible.

?

But she has been strong all her life, and she can't change even if she wants to.

?

Xie Liuzheng was the first person who was willing to get close to her. Regardless of how true or false these words were, they made Old Madam Feng feel deeply moved.

?

He snorted half-truthfully, "You little girls are just good at sweet talk and coaxing people, but you are not willing to get close to us old people. I'm afraid you are so annoyed that you can't bear it."

?

Xie Liuzheng observed her words and expressions, and was sure that Old Madam Feng was cold on the outside but warm on the inside, so she became a little bolder. She came close to her and gently pulled the corner of her clothes, and said in a soft and coquettish tone, "Old Madam has wronged Liuzheng, Liuzheng will cry for you to see."

?

No youngster had ever dared to speak to Old Madam Feng like this. Old Madam Feng's expression was frozen. She couldn't scold him, nor was she angry. She was silent for a while, then gently patted Xie Liuzheng's hand, "You kid, you are really..."

?

Xie Liuzheng talked with Old Madam Feng for a long time, and finally coaxed her into accepting the fabrics. Seeing that it was getting late, he said goodbye and left.

?

However, she didn't notice that Feng Yushu had been standing under the back window for a long time, looking at her back thoughtfully.

?

Feng Yushu had been very careful about etiquette since childhood, so he naturally wouldn't do such a thing as eavesdropping in the corner. Originally, he thought that Old Madam Feng always liked plum blossoms, so he planned to transplant a few to her backyard for her to enjoy in winter, but he didn't expect to accidentally hear Xie Liuzheng's voice.

?

Feng Yushu heard every word Xie Liuzheng said about her envy of the young lady of the Feng family and her desire to be the old lady's granddaughter, and a bold idea came to his mind.

?

If Xie Liuzheng became a member of the Feng family, he would naturally be able to get close to the old lady more often, and the old lady would also have more favorite younger generations around her.

?

The more Feng Yushu thought about it, the more eager he became. He hurried to see Mrs. Feng Er, hoping that she would take charge of proposing marriage to the Xie family for him. However, the maid stopped him outside the door, saying that a matchmaker had come to propose marriage for him. The other party was the only daughter of County Magistrate Guan, who was both talented and beautiful. The lady was very attracted to her.

?

The maid smiled and congratulated Feng Yushu and asked for a reward. Feng Yushu was confused and just managed to cope with the request. He left the main courtyard in a daze, not knowing where to go. He walked to the garden, sat on a large bluestone and sighed.

?

He met Xie Liuzheng by chance on the mountain road. Even before he saw her face clearly, he was shocked by her courage and kindness, which left a deep impression on him. Later, he learned that she was the daughter of the Xie family. When he went to her house to express his gratitude, he was even more impressed by her grace and generosity.

?

I hadn't thought too much about it before, but every time I heard that she was coming home, I would find ways to see her. Even if I could only see her from a distance, I would feel satisfied.

?

Feng Yushu sat in the garden until the sun was about to set, and was awakened by his maid who asked him to go back for dinner.

?

During these few hours, Feng Yushu thought a lot and gradually confirmed his feelings for Xie Liuzheng. He didn't even eat dinner and rushed directly to Madam Feng's room. As soon as he entered the room, he said anxiously, "Mother, I, I don't want the county magistrate's daughter. I already have someone I love."

?

Madam Feng was startled and quickly drove all the maids out of the door. She grabbed Feng Yushu's hand and asked him anxiously, "Did you mess around outside? Whose girl did you fall in love with, kid? Tell me clearly. I'm so anxious."
