After rebirth, I teamed up with the scumbag's mistress

"Madam Wei, it's the eldest son of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery." The maid who made the list replied.

When Wei Suxin heard his identity, all the fantasies in her mind disappeared immediately.

She was a merchant woman and had been a mistress. In a wealthy family, this could be easily found out with a simple search. It was not a secret at all.

The eldest son of this marquis's mansion was not something she could ever dream of.

She glanced out the window. The sky outside was cloudless and a little gloomy.

Why is it so gloomy today?

Liu Yuefu withdrew her gaze. She knew that she would have to fight a tough battle, so she had no choice but to go to Shoukang Hall.

As soon as the old lady saw Liu Yuefu coming, she took out the pair of cards and the key to the house.

Liu Yuefu just took a glance and then looked away.

Liu Yuefu calmed down and figured out what to do.

It seems that it is time for Big Brother to get into trouble.

The old lady said affectionately, "Yuefu, this is the Li family's match card and the key to the house. Among you sisters-in-law, I think you are the most suitable to be the head of this family."

The old lady hammered her leg and continued with a pleasant expression, "You are thoughtful and considerate. I will be most relieved if you come to manage the family."

The old lady looked extremely pleased, then she stood up reluctantly and stuffed the pair of cards and the key to the house into Liu Yuefu's hands, "My child, the Li family will be managed by you from now on. I am old and can't do it anymore."

Liu Yuefu smiled and stuffed the pair of cards and the key back to the old lady. "Mother, you are in good health now. How can the Li family leave you?"

In her previous life, Liu Yuefu was bewitched by the old lady's thoughtful words and felt that the old lady trusted her.

At such a young age, and before my mother-in-law passed away, I can manage the household on my own. This is a great trust given by my mother-in-law.

She cherished it very much at that time and was very grateful to her mother-in-law.

However, later on, Liu Yuefu discovered that her elder brother’s gambling debts were growing larger and larger, and it was a hole that could never be filled.

Her dowry unknowingly increased a lot every month, and it kept increasing.

Until one day, she couldn't bear this kind of exhaustion anymore and spoke up, bringing up the matter of dowry.

But what I got was criticism from almost the entire family.

The old lady looked at her coldly, "It's just that the man likes to play, it's not a big deal."

Wu Ximei, the vested interest, looked at Liu Yuefu with contempt and said, "It's just a few dollars. Besides, he is your husband's elder brother. People should know how to repay their gratitude. If it wasn't your elder brother who worked hard to support your husband's studies, how could he have the money to study?!"

Li Jianzhang also pulled her, "He is my elder brother after all, how can you be so ignorant?"

The old lady coughed twice and was about to speak.

Liu Yuefu came back to her senses immediately.

She said hurriedly, "Besides, what virtue or ability do I have? Sister Ximei is the eldest daughter-in-law of the first house, and she is also capable. There is no way I can surpass her. Sister Ximei is much more suitable to be the head of the household than me."

When Wu Ximei heard this, she became anxious and could hardly sit still.

He kept winking at the old lady.

She was just a village woman, so how could she have any dowry to fill the hole of her gambling husband?

The old lady also knew that this wouldn't work, because the eldest son's wife didn't have any money.

That’s not right, the old lady thought about what she had just said.

Normally speaking, at this time, no daughter-in-law would refuse such a good opportunity as being the head of the family.

The old lady was a little suspicious. Could it be that some news had leaked?

This shouldn't happen. The boss just lost one thousand taels in gambling.

There's no reason why news from the mansion would spread so quickly.

The old lady calmed down again and decided not to lose her composure.

Liu Yuefu took a sip of tea and said slowly, "Do you know that girl?"

Liu Yuefu asked so out of the blue, the old lady was puzzled, "What girl?"

"Where did this girl come from?!" Wu Ximei said in an attempt to cover up her mistake.

The two spoke almost at the same time.

In her previous life, Liu Yuefu only knew that her elder brother Li Jianzhang was gambling, which shows how well Li Jianzhang kept the secret.

Liu Yuefu knew nothing about this girl's affairs.

All I know is that my eldest brother has several concubines and his home is a mess.

After all, in his previous life, Li Jianzhang had Wei Suxin as his financial support, so things like this could be resolved by paying money, taking a concubine, and arranging relationships.

In this life, Liu Yuefu has put a lot of effort into finding something to hold against Li Jianzhang.

She paid close attention to finding out the news.

Two days ago, Chun Tao approached her hesitantly and said, "Madam, didn't you always ask us to pay more attention to the changes and news in the courtyard?"

"Today, a woman's scream was heard from the master's room. I heard from the maid in his yard that the door of the room was locked."

Liu Yuefu hesitated for a moment and immediately said, "Let Ji Sheng investigate this matter, and then come directly to see me, quickly."

Chuntao responded and retreated.

The next day, which was yesterday.

Ji Sheng brought a man wearing a Confucian scarf and a blue cloth robe that had been washed so much that it looked pale into the air into Yuehuaju's house.

"Madam, there is some clue about yesterday's matter." Ji Sheng said with lowered eyebrows.

"This is the husband of the woman in the master's room. I saw him wailing outside the back door of the mansion, so I went to talk to him. He knows this matter best. Let him talk to you." Ji Sheng continued.

The man fell to his knees with a thump, "Madam, all the wounds on my face and body were caused by that villain. He robbed my wife. Please help me."

The man looked at Liu Yuefu with sad eyes.

"What's going on?" Liu Yuefu asked with concern.

"Three days ago, I came to the city with my maid He Xiuling. I got a job copying books in the city. When I went to the bookstore to get a book, I heard my maid screaming. I hurried out and saw several gangsters dragging my maid forward. I chased them and they beat me up. Madam, you can see that the wound on my face has not healed yet." The man said sadly, pointing at his face.

"They pulled the whole family into a carriage. When I ran over, it was too late. I ran and ran after the carriage. But I could never catch up with it." The man's voice became more and more mournful.

"They kidnapped my family. I can still hear their terrified cries for help." The man knelt on the ground, "Madam, please help me."

"Get up." Liu Yuefu signaled Ji Sheng with her eyes, then asked with some confusion: "Why didn't you go to the government office to file a complaint?"

"Why didn't I go? I did. The government said I had no evidence and refused to file a case." The man sighed, "Officials are just protecting each other. I'm just a scholar."

Ji Sheng helped the man up, but he didn't move, "Please ma'am, at least save the family."

"I will do my best. You get up first." Liu Yuefu said with a sigh.

The man then stood up with the help of Ji Sheng.

He bowed to the ground towards Liu Yuefu.

"Please ma'am."
