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

Facing Mrs. Feng Er's anxious face, Feng Yushu couldn't say the words that were on his lips.

?

Madam Feng's anxiety turned into anger. She sat by the window and wiped her tears. "You have been filial and sensible since you were young. How come you are becoming more and more troublesome as you grow older? You don't even understand simple principles like your parents' orders and the matchmaker's words?"

?

"For a family like ours, the most important thing is to cultivate oneself and be upright. If people knew that you had private relations with a girl, how would you be able to hold your head up in front of others in the future?"

?

"Not only will your father and I not be able to hold our heads up, but even the Imperial Concubine will be laughed at behind our backs."

?

"I don't care whose girl you are interested in. I know she has bad character just because we are not familiar with each other. I will never allow such a girl to marry me."

?

Feng Yushu's enthusiasm gradually cooled down, and his palms hidden in his sleeves were filled with cold sweat.

?

Yes, how could he forget that what the family values ​​most is reputation. The sisters usually never go out of the house, and they rarely even have the opportunity to go out to burn incense.

?

If his family knew that he had improper thoughts about Xie Liuzheng, regardless of whether he wanted it or not, they would blame Xie Liuzheng and accuse her of improper behavior, otherwise how could she have lost her true nature.

?

Feng Yushu lowered his head and confessed his mistake softly, "Mother, don't be angry. I don't have a crush on any girl, let alone have any contact with any girl. I just heard that you were helping me to find a marriage partner, and I... I don't want to get married so early, so I lied to you."

?

"It's my son's fault. Please forgive me, mother."

?

As he spoke, he lifted his robe and knelt down in front of Madam Feng.

?

Madam Feng II looked at her son, who was already much taller than her, and sighed, "Get up. I scolded you and advised you for your own good. Since you didn't do such a thing, why should I be angry?"

?

Feng Yushu stood up and chatted with Mrs. Feng for a few words, then left on the pretext of going to the study to read.

?

The smile on Madam Feng's face faded, and she called her trusted servant, "Go and find out who the young master has been hanging out with recently. Also go and tell Madam Zhao that the county magistrate's daughter is very nice. I'll go to the county magistrate's house someday to talk to her."

?

There is no one who knows a friend better than her mother. Madam Feng Er can tell which words of Feng Yushu are true and which are false.

?

Originally, he felt that the county magistrate's family background was too low and he would not be of much help to Feng Yushu in his future official career, so he was still hesitating whether to agree to the marriage.

?

But compared with the woman of bad conduct, the daughter of the county magistrate is at least a real lady from a noble family. Marrying her would help win Feng Yushu's heart.

?

Xie Liuzheng didn't know that her visit to Feng's house would directly affect the marriage of the eldest son of the second branch of Feng's family. She went to the silver shop to chat with Master Guan for a few words, then went to Hexiang Garden to buy some snacks for Xie Xiangyu and returned home.

?

Xie Xiangyu is a frequent visitor to Hexiangyuan. She likes their Wosi candy the most. She often says that after eating a bite of Wosi candy, she feels happy and it is worth it even if it breaks her teeth.

?

Xie Liuzheng delivered the grain to the main courtyard. It was rare that Xie Liuhui was not flattering Xie Xiangyu, so she couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

?

Xie Liufang said, "My sister must have been suffering from the heat these past few days. She has a poor appetite and is not in high spirits. After dinner, she said she was tired and wanted to go somewhere else. So I came here by myself."

?

Xie Xiangyu patted Xie Liufang's shoulder with concern, "It's hot in the summer, and the guest room is a bit narrow and far from the main courtyard. I'll have someone clean up Hongxiang Pavilion later, and you sisters can move in."

?

"Hongxiang Pavilion is close to the water and cooler. You sisters can play by the water when you are free."

?

Xie Liufang quickly stood up and thanked Xie Xiangyu, "Thank you for your consideration, auntie, but my sister and I have already been disturbed a lot. If you mobilize a large number of people to move the house, my sister and I will feel even more uneasy."

?

Xie Xiangyu waved her hands, "You sisters are also aunt's juniors, isn't it normal for me to love you more? The house is ready, the servants are ready, so what's the big deal about cleaning the house? You sisters just need to live here without any worries."

?

Xie Liufang knelt down at Xie Xiangyu's feet with a face full of emotion, and leaned his head on her knees, choking with sobs, "I should say something I shouldn't say. My sister and I have grown up so much, and the only time we have lived the most satisfying life is during these few days at my aunt's house."

?

Xie Xiangyu understood Third Uncle's temper better than anyone else. With such an elder keeping an eye on her, it was not hard to imagine how aggrieved Xie Liufang and her sister must be at home. "Silly child, how many years can you stay at your mother's house? In two years, you and your sister will be married, and you can just run your own little family well."

?

"Auntie can't help you with anything else, except for the money..."

?

Xie Liuzheng caught a glimpse of pride and greed on Xie Liufang's face and sneered in his heart. The little girl was young, but had quite a character. It was pitiful that he let her stay at home for a few days, but she started to miss the things of the Xie family.

?

Xie Xiangyu was happy and gave some rewards to the sisters. Xie Liuzheng was too lazy to argue for it, but that didn't mean she had to watch Xie Liufang's appetite grow bigger and bigger.

?

When it comes to showing weakness, playing the victim, and being scheming, Xie Liuzheng believes that he is no worse than Xie Liufang.

?

Suddenly she stroked her forehead and swayed her body a few times, looking weak and shaky, which frightened Qiuyue so much that she quickly supported her. The other maids also gathered around her, some gave her water and some helped her to calm down.

?

No matter how much Xie Xiangyu loved her niece, she could not love her biological daughter more. She rushed to Xie Liuzheng and stroked her little face. "Liuzheng, what do you think? Tell me now."

?

Xie Liuzheng's eyelids trembled a few times, and he slowly opened his eyes, looking at Xie Xiangyu and smiled weakly, "Mom, I'm fine, just a little dizzy, maybe it's because I've been looking at the account books a little late these days."

?

"Oh, you child." Xie Xiangyu was so distressed that she had someone put Xie Liuzheng on the rattan bed and sent someone to get a doctor. She stayed by her side and stroked her forehead again and again, "No matter how big the problem is, it's not as important as you. Don't tire yourself out in the future."

?

The servant asked a doctor to take Xie Liuzheng's pulse, and the doctor said that she did not get enough rest and had caught some heatstroke, and she would be fine after a few days of rest.

?

Xie Xiangyu then felt relieved, comforted her, and asked someone to carry a sedan chair to send her back to her room to rest.

?

Xie Liuzheng acted pretentiously and successfully interrupted Xie Xiangyu's promise to Xie Liufang, which she almost blurted out. However, Xie Liuzheng was not completely relieved.

?

After all, she was often not at home, so Xie Liufang and her sister could coax Xie Xiangyu to take out the family's money without any worries, as there were plenty of opportunities.

?

In the evening, Sister Xie Liuhui came to greet Xie Liuzheng. Xie Liuzheng asked Qiuyue to welcome them in, and smiled as he offered them a seat and tea.

?

Xie Liuhui's face did not look very good, and he was not as talkative as before. After briefly asking about Xie Liuzheng's situation, he sat aside and drank tea. Instead, it was Xie Liufang who spoke more.

?

"My cousin is working really hard to help my aunt run the business. It's just like the saying in the book, 'The capable ones work harder, and the wise ones worry more.' But I should pay more attention to my health so that my aunt won't worry."
