The courtyard is so well decorated. As soon as you enter and pass the screen wall, you can see the budding crabapple tree.
It can be seen that the servants of the house are very diligent, scrubbing the floor tiles in the courtyard cleanly.
With just one glance, Grandma Wang saw several pots of "Er Qiao" placed among the green plants in the courtyard! That is one of the Marquis's favorite varieties of peonies. Because the Marquis liked it, the Queen Mother specially rewarded the Marquis with a pot of two joes in the past few years. And because the Marquis likes it, the county prince also studies this peony flower quite a bit.
Of course Grandma Wang knows her a little bit. The prince went out of his way to take care of the peonies in the flower house for the sake of the marquis.
What a good Li Wanzhou, he actually brought the Marquis’s favorite things here! This moth didn't even spare the effort of moving so many good things from the Hou Mansion to please his outer room!
Grandma Wang was about to angrily continue rushing in, when the Junjun who was following behind suddenly called her out: "Wait a minute."
When Grandma Wang turned around, she found that the Junjun's face was pale and his body was shaky.
Grandma Wang was frightened and hurried back to help the Junjun: "What's wrong with the Junjun?"
Lord Kangde gritted his teeth, his face turned pale for a long time, and then he let out a breath of air that was stuck in his chest: "It doesn't look like Li Wanzhou."
Grandma Wang looked at Lord Kangde in surprise until Lord Kangde uttered another sentence with difficulty: "It looks like a Marquis."
In fact, Grandma Wang had guessed it a long time ago, but she just couldn't bear to tell the prince. No matter how powerful Li Wanzhou was at stealing, he was still just a slave. How could he have the ability to decorate the house in such a way?
The Marquis who swore to live in harmony with the Lord for the rest of his life actually raised a foreign wife outside!
It's no wonder that the commander couldn't bear it. The Junjun just lost his only son, and now he has to face the Marquis's wife.
Grandma Wang whispered: "Otherwise, let's go back..."
"No, even if you want to go back, you have to take their children away." Lord Kangde is indeed no better than ordinary people. She gritted her teeth, dispelled the anger in her head, and straightened up, "He can raise the wife, but the wife must be raised under my knees." Dasheng law stipulates that the wife and the legitimate son have the same The right to divide family property. Her only son is gone! She must fight for the child outside her home!
Their movements had already attracted the servants in the house.
Only Lord Kangde looked prosperous and powerful, and He Da stood up with a big sword, and none of his servants dared to stand up.
They are not stupid, they know the house where they work and who lives there.
Lord Kande stood in the middle of the courtyard: "Call your master out. Who am I? I believe you can spare it. Don't worry, I'm not here today to drive you away."
She was majestic and majestic. Some people were timid and rushed to inform Mrs. Peony.
Lord Kande soon met Mrs. Peony. The Peony woman was only twenty-seven or twenty-seven years old, and the child she was holding in her hand was only five or six years old. She looked at her warily. Although the child is young, he looks very much like Jie'er when he was a child.
This old man is so shameless! Lord Kangde thought of the oaths Marquis Wenchang had made before, and was so sick that he almost vomited them out.
But she held back: "Who am I? Can you please forgive me?"
Mrs. Peony held the child's hand tightly: "What are you going to do? The Marquis said that he would not let me enter the Marquis' mansion and suffer injustice."
Wronged? Lord Kande sneered: "What else did he say? Did he compare me to a man-eating tigress, a female devil who kills people without blinking an eye?"
Mrs. Peony pursed her lips. That's not what he said. It's just that Lord Kangde is old and unsightly. His temperament is rigid and uninteresting.
Lord Kande looked at the child: "This is his child, I am going to take him away today."
"Impossible!" Mrs. Peony screamed, "This is my child, not yours! Your son is dead and you want to steal it from us. Who would trust you to hand it over to you?"
Haha, that shameless person went around telling his sweetheart that Jier was gone?
That's right, her son is dead, but he has other sons.
Lord Kangde's voice was deep: "He Da, grab the child."
He Da's sword was carried for a day and finally became useful.
Mrs. Peony shouted angrily: "Drive this old woman out!"
This shameless bitch eats her clothes and wears her clothes, but he still dares to call her an old woman? Lord Kande's face darkened: "I am Lord Kande! You must think clearly!"
The servant who just stopped in front of Mrs. Peony quickly ran away. Although Mrs. Peony was called a madam, she was not really given a royal title, and she was still a concubine. When weighing the two, her own life was naturally more important.
He Da rushed over with a knife in his hand: "Hand over the child obediently."
Mrs. Peony held the child's hand tightly, feeling extremely unwilling. She looked at the old Lord Kangde, and something suddenly flashed in her mind: "I am not the only one with whom the Marquis has a concubine, he also has Mrs. Jasmine, Mrs. Hibiscus, Mrs. Furong, Mrs. Fengxian... They all have children!"
In Lord Kande's wide sleeves, his fingernails pinched his palm tightly, as if he was bleeding.
Her mind was clearly in a trance, but she was still holding on.
She heard herself sneer and say: "Oh, really, that's great. I don't have a son, but if you do, then raise them all to me..."
Mrs. Peony shouted: "Master Hou will not agree! They are not your biological children, how can you raise them well?"
Lord Kangde sneered with hatred: "Don't worry, I will definitely treat them as my own and train them carefully! He Da, don't do anything yet!"
Hey, isn't this waiting for you to finish talking? He Da raised the knife and looked fiercely: "Hand over the child!"
The child was so frightened that he cried loudly. Mrs. Mudan was afraid that the knife would hurt the child, so she involuntarily let go of her hand and said with tears streaming down her face: "Heng'er, don't worry, your father will save you."
Lord Kangde snatched the child but did not leave. Step by step, she walked up to Mrs. Peony with a heartbroken heart: "Tell me, where are those jasmine and hibiscus?"
Mrs. Peony pursed her lips tightly. If the Marquis knew that she betrayed him...
Lord Kangde smiled and said, "Happiness alone is not as good as happiness for everyone, what do you think?"
It's not that no one secretly wanted to inform Marquis Wenchang, but for some reason, the whereabouts of the Marquis today became a mystery, and no one could be found alive or dead. The people finally found Marquis Wenchang and led Lord Kangde directly to Cave Three. No, by the time they brought the news about Cave Five, it was already too late.
Marquis Wenchang didn't care to find out who leaked the news. When he hurried back to the Marquis Mansion, he saw a crowd of children kneeling in the mourning hall of his son Song Mingjie.
There are eight children in total, five boys and three girls. The eldest boy is eight years old, and the youngest is only three years old.
The children knelt in the mourning hall in horror, not daring to cry. Looking at this situation, it seemed that they had been beaten severely by Lord Kangde.
Marquis Wenchang almost wanted to stamp his feet, so he said, Kant, this woman, has the smallest heart and cannot tolerate other people's children!
But he did not dare to express his anger directly. The Song family was not prosperous in his generation, but Lord Kangde had many brothers, and they were all generous, otherwise he would not have kept it secret from her for so many years and dared not show off.
"Yingying, what's going on?" He called Lord Kangde's nickname carefully, not daring to look at the children.
But when the children saw him, they couldn't bear the grievances they had suppressed for a long time, and burst into tears: "Father, this old woman is so cruel, and she even asked us to keep vigil for the dead!"
Lord Kangde hated people saying she was old. Marquis Wenchang looked at Lord Kangde with fear, but Lord Kangde glanced at him with a half-smile, and said in a calm tone: "My son, look, the Song family is You are not just a single seedling, the Song family is full of children and grandchildren."
Marquis Wenchang's mind was spinning very fast: "Yingying, they are also your children. Come on, children, call your mother quickly and salute your mother."
"Since the Marquis said so, that's great. From now on, these children will all be raised by my side. No matter how I raise them, the Marquis will never say a word."
