After I traveled through the book, I was spoiled by five little villains

He said, "Your Highness, I have found the medicine residue that my mother-in-law took on the day she passed away."

As he spoke, two old women came up with a gagged daughter-in-law, and another one held an oil-paper bag in her hand.

"Have a heart."

Qin Yaoguang nodded slightly, and the servants following her stepped forward and took the people and things that He had someone bring over.

"Take the person back to the mansion and give the drug residue to Master Qu for inspection." She ordered.

"Yes."

Qin Yaoguang said to He: "Come with me."

He followed her respectfully.

In terms of seniority, both the Wang and He families are Qin Yaoguang's elders.

But they were all smart women. Although they didn't know what Duke Cui was trying to do, they could tell that he was doing evil things. If they were blindly filial to him, they would only sink with the Cui family.

Wang chose to withdraw, and He chose to join Qin Yaoguang.

It’s all for the sake of my children, and it’s a very correct decision.

Otherwise, how do you say that choice is more important than hard work?

Duke Cui chose the wrong path, and the harder he tried, the more mistakes he made.

Even in the original book, he did not obtain the power and status he had always pursued.

The courtyard of the Duke's Mansion is not as big as that of the Princess's Mansion, but it is not bad either.

With the accumulation of several generations, the courtyard has towering ancient trees and pebbled roads, with shallow water stepping stones and flying eaves in the distance.

However, the atmosphere was so depressing that it seemed to be frozen, and everyone had a sad look on their face.

When the news that Cui Yongwei was the illegitimate son of Duke Cui was revealed, the Ningguo Mansion became the center of the storm. Even the servants who went out to purchase goods felt ashamed and came and went in a hurry.

Qin Yaoguang walked forward slowly and said to He: "Take your family out of the capital to avoid it, the sooner the better."

He was worried and asked hesitantly, "Is... is something going to happen?"

The Ningguo Mansion can no longer withstand any more harm.

Qin Yaoguang smiled slightly: "Don't worry, it's a good thing."

After she left, He hurriedly ordered everyone to pack up and leave Beijing the next day to go to the dowry farm.

As the mistress of the mansion, it was no small matter for her to take people away.

The servants were busy as hell, and He just kept urging them, "Take everything you can in time. If you can't pack everything up, it's okay if you forget anything. You can come back later to get it."

Her emotions were transmitted to the servants, and suddenly everyone became panic-stricken and in chaos.

Although it is said that he is leaving Beijing for a short stay, it is more like fleeing.

When the eldest wife's two children heard the news, they ran to her to confirm it.

Before following the caravan to Beirong, Wang specifically told them to follow their second aunt in everything.

Both children were smart and wanted to go with He after they knew the situation.

They trust their mother's decision more than their father Cui Wenqing, who was a cowardly and incompetent man who had been suppressed by his grandfather all his life.

Looking at the two pairs of children's eyes and thinking about the money that Wang gave her before leaving, He nodded in agreement.

At night, when the two men of the Cui family returned home, they were shocked to find that the situation in the backyard had changed, with boxes and crates packed or being packed everywhere.

He's husband Cui Wen'an had a dark face. He walked through the boxes that were obviously his wife's dowry and walked into the main room to question her: "Why are you so crazy?"

The fact that his elder sister-in-law asked to leave the family cast a heavy shadow on him. Could it be his turn this time?

"All right?"

He checked the jewelry box she was going to take away tomorrow and looked up at him: "Tell me, is this situation normal?"

He held his forehead and said irritably, "Our Cui family is a century-old family, and we have the Queen Mother in the palace. As long as we don't lose our composure, no one can touch us."

"He, Cui Yongwei, is an illegitimate child. What does he have to do with us?"

"Cui Wen'an."

He called his name and sneered, "It's your business if you don't leave, but I will leave for sure."

I don’t know what bad luck I have in this life to marry a man who can’t tell right from wrong and can only fool me with his eyes closed.

She had told him enough, and he was determined to cover up his mistake. She didn't want to say a word now.

She was a second wife, otherwise with her family background, she would not be able to enter the Duke's Mansion.

But if she had known earlier, she would never have jumped into this fire pit!

He gave the packed box to the head maid to put away, then turned around to check the children's boxes in the yard.

Cui Wen'an stood there in a daze for a long time, then walked towards the study.

Now that the madam has left, won’t the house be in chaos?

That's it.

He packed up and went with his wife.

Husband and wife are birds of the same forest. It's not good to let the wife fly alone.

Besides, there are children!

Cui Wenqing's situation is even worse than his brother's.

Ever since Wang left, he was in mourning and could not remarry. He lived alone and had no one to discuss things with.

Seeing the chaos in the mansion, he was upset and stayed at his aunt's house for the night. When he woke up in the morning, he found that even the two children left by Wang had followed He.

Cui Wenqing felt panic in his heart. Without time to think, he went back to the main courtyard, packed up the gold and silver, and rode out.

I can't stay in this house for even a moment!

From beginning to end, no one went to the main courtyard where Duke Cui was staying to say goodbye.

The Ningguo Mansion was in chaos, and the masters left the house one after another, which was tantamount to dropping another blockbuster bomb into the already restless capital city.

"Yesterday, the princess went to the Ningguo Mansion and kidnapped someone. Today, everyone was so scared that they left the capital."

"Isn't it? I also heard that the princess even beat the prince out!"

"Now that you mention it, it reminds me that she has always been very tough."

There were many people talking about it on the streets.

Among them, there were many people sent by the Xie family who would add fuel to the fire among the crowd at the right time.

"boom!"

In Wanmin Building, a pot of wine was smashed heavily onto the table.

The people who were gossiping in low voices were startled. When they looked up, they saw Wan Yuchai's face as black as the bottom of a pot.

"You dare to criticize the princess? Do you know how to write the word 'death'?!"

Everyone in the hall was startled.

One of them muttered, "We are telling the truth. We are not talking nonsense."

Another man in his fifties chimed in, "Manager Wan, everyone knows that the princess is your benefactor, but if you can shut us up, can you shut up everyone in the capital?"

Can't we have a chat after dinner while we have a meal?

Wan Yu Chai laughed dryly twice: "Tell the truth? May I ask if you saw it with your own eyes or heard it with your own ears?"

He shook the Leyang paper he was using to order food in his hand until it rustled. “Let me ask you, have you ever used Leyang paper? Do you have any children in your family who go to the school supervisor to learn to read for free?”

"Also, have you seen the newly posted arrest warrants?"

A few words left everyone speechless.

With the popularity of Leyang paper and pen nowadays, even if that person has never used it, there are people around him who use it.

Furthermore, even though her own children did not learn, there were always neighbors or relatives who were blessed by the eldest princess and were able to learn to read.
