Reborn to be married, the mistress of the Marquis's Mansion is so sweet

Lu Tingxu sat in front of the bed in a daze. Lin Wan stood beside him, looking at him with a look of regret and did not say any words of comfort.

After listening to what happened today, Lin Wan understood about 70% of it.

The person who was kept in Lu Tingxu's courtyard was his childhood sweetheart, and Xiao Shi also knew her. When the childhood sweetheart's family was in trouble, the Yongning Marquis and his wife did not help for some reason, but in fact Xiao Shi later went to the Jiaofang Division to find Miss Ye. Lu Tingxu did not know about this, and privately redeemed Miss Ye and kept her outside.

Moreover, Lu Tingxu always blamed Xiao for being cruel and not helping him. It was unknown whether this idea was his own or was intentionally guided by someone around him.

Just as the atmosphere in the room became increasingly silent, hurried footsteps were heard outside.

Lord Lu strode in, ran straight to the bed and looked at Xiao, who was still unconscious, with a dark face.

Before anyone could react, Lu Hou punched Lu Tingxu to the ground. Lin Wan and Gao Mama, who came in from outside, were shocked. Seeing that Lu Hou wanted to continue the fight after the punch, they hurried forward to pull Lu Tingxu away and stand between him and Lu Hou.

"Father, please don't be anxious. Doctor Mou said that mother can't get angry anymore. If you and the prince have another conflict, mother will be upset when she wakes up and sees it."

Lin Wan advised hurriedly.

"Rebellious son! Rebellious son!" Lord Lu pointed at Lu Tingxu and cursed.

"Go to the ancestral hall and kneel down. When your mother wakes up, I will settle the score with you!"

Marquis Lu had practiced martial arts for many years. One punch from him made half of Lu Tingxu's face red, swollen and purple, with blood oozing from the corner of his mouth. He looked at his furious father and the unconscious Xiao, clenched his fist, bowed without saying anything, and left.

When Xiao woke up, she saw Lin Wan sitting on a stool beside the bed, watching over her quietly.

Seeing her wake up, Lin Wan hurried forward and said, "Mom, are you feeling okay? Mom Gao, Mom is awake."

As he said this, he stepped forward and helped Xiao sit up.

Mother Gao came in with the medicine and helped Lin Wan serve Xiao. She leaned on the soft pillow and fed her the medicine.

"Madam, you are finally awake. The Crown Princess has been here to watch over you. Do you want Doctor Mou to take your pulse again?"

Xiao waved her hand and looked at Lin Wan and said, "Good boy, you've worked hard!"

Lin Wan said softly, "Father has also returned and has been here with you. It's just that someone brought a message just now, so father went to the outer courtyard."

"Where's that traitor?"

"Father has punished the prince to kneel in the ancestral hall. The prince is also very worried about you."

Xiao lowered her eyes and looked at the quilt on her body, "I didn't expect that in his eyes, we are actually cruel and heartless people."

"Mother..." Lin Wan felt sad when she saw the always heroic Xiao looking so sad and lonely.

"The prince was just speaking in anger. He was extremely worried when you fainted. Don't think too much about it. The prince must have regretted it now."

"The Ye family embezzled the pensions of the dead and wounded soldiers and forced their families to death. The title of our Yongning Marquisate was won by the old marquis who fought on the battlefield. The marquis and I have also been fighting on the battlefield. Those soldiers were our brothers who used to be together day and night. The soldiers died on the battlefield to protect the people in the rear. But...but...how can the Ye family let those families be sad again and again?"

As Xiao spoke, tears fell one by one.

"When the Ye family was investigated, the Marquis and I were furious! Our two families have had a good relationship over the years, and I watched the little girl from the Ye family grow up. I thought that the Ye family deserved to be executed, but I couldn't bear to see Yue'er end up in a place like the Jiaofangsi. The Marquis and I discussed bringing Yue'er back and sending her far away, so that she could live in peace and security."

"But when my people went to look for her, they found out that she had been bought by a nobleman with a large sum of money. I always thought it was a secret arrangement by the Ye family. I didn't expect... I didn't expect that person to be my son."

Lin Wan gently stroked Xiao's back, comforting her silently.

She had also heard about the Ye family's affairs. At that time, she had lamented that the Ye family was so cruel. The families of the soldiers had already lost their loved ones tragically, and even the court's pensions were withheld, and they also forced people to die.

I didn't expect that I would meet the young lady of the Ye family, and this person is Lu Tingxu's childhood sweetheart.

I can only say that this world is really small!

"Mother, haven't you told the prince about what you and the Marquis are thinking about?" Lin Wan thought for a moment and asked.

Seeing Xiao shaking her head, Lin Wan continued, "Tingxu has never been to the battlefield, so he can't empathize with the hard work of the soldiers. In addition, the Ye family is a long-term relationship, so he must be more biased towards the Ye family."

"And the prince didn't say that the Ye family was innocent. He just felt sorry for Miss Ye, a pure girl, being tortured in such a place. He didn't know that you were going to help her, so he acted on his own. There was just some misunderstanding here, and it will be fine once it is cleared up."

When Xiao heard this, she looked up at Lin Wan and said, "It is a blessing for Tingxu to marry you, and it is also a blessing for our Marquis' Mansion."

Lin Wan talked to Xiao for a while and calmed her down.

When Marquis Lu came back from the outer courtyard, he saw Xiao talking to Lin Wan with a smile, and she seemed to be in a good mood.

Seeing Lord Lu coming back, Lin Wan stood up and said goodbye. Xiao asked Gao Mama to personally send Lin Wan back, and by the way, check if there was anything in her courtyard that needed to be adjusted, so that Lin Wan could do it according to her own preferences.

After Lin Wan thanked him again and again, she took Qinglian away.

Before dinner, Lin Wan heard about Lu Tingxu's punishment. Lord Lu personally beat him with thirty sticks, fined him a year's salary, and made him kneel in the ancestral hall until tomorrow night. This was only because he was required to accompany Lin Wan back home, so the punishment was reduced.

Lin Wan just smiled and said nothing about these. She talked about punishment, but there was no information about the person living in that yard. It can be seen that Lu Tingxu protected her very closely.

But Lin Wan didn't care, at most it was just another concubine in the courtyard. And with this appearance, Miss Ye had no face in front of the Xiao couple.

Lin Wan casually fiddled with the butler's cards in her hand, knowing very well what path she would take in the future.

Love can only be regarded as a decoration to add icing on the cake in the life of the inner house. Only the power and wealth in one's hands can be the capital to settle down in the inner house and maintain dignity and respect at all times.

"Qinglian, bring me the list of servants in our yard." Lin Wan said to Qinglian beside her.

"And my dowry list, including who gave dowry gifts before the wedding and what they gave. Did you write it all down?"

Qinglian immediately replied, "Yes, I have them all. I took careful notes at that time. Madam, please wait a moment. I will bring them to you right away."

Lin Wan smiled and said, "No hurry, just give it to me after dinner."

After having dinner carefully, Lin Wan began to look through her warehouse book and list of servants.

When she got married, Wang gave her a lot of servants as a dowry because she married into the Marquis's Mansion. Some of them were familiar to her in her previous life, and some were added temporarily. Lin Wan knew the importance of servants in the inner house, so she took advantage of the fact that everyone was still unfamiliar with the Marquis's Mansion to sort them out.
