This series of blows finally made the lady look like an old man of her age.
Due to these people's indifference to the Madam and the eldest girl's hatred for her, only every once in a while did anyone think of throwing a steamed bun into the Madam's yard.
The long-term hunger made the wife lie in bed and wail every day, her voice hoarse like a female ghost crawling out of hell.
The neighbors around me felt very upset after hearing this.
Finally one day, the madam's crying stopped, and everyone in the house felt relieved.
Two or three days later, the mother-in-law in the mansion found two untouched steamed buns left in the yard of the wife. When she went into the yard, she found that the wife was already dead.
After all, they were not serious elders of their own family. After saying bad luck, these people found a thin coffin and found a piece of ground to bury the wife.
The Dowager Madam has been domineering and domineering in the Yichang Marquis Mansion all her life, but it is sad that she has ended up like this.
As for others, life is not much better.
Those whose parents are still alive are better off. If the elder brother and sister-in-law are the head of the family, they will be a complete drag when they return home.
Especially the second wife. She was not only driven back to her parents' home, but she also took Xu Wenzhi back to her parents' home, who was turned into a living dead.
Her father is dead and her mother lives with her eldest brother.
After the second wife returned home, her eldest brother took great pity on her and even bought her a small house for her to live in with her husband and children.
Her mother built a shop for her sister-in-law behind her back so that she could make a living.
The second wife was naturally grateful to her mother and brother, but within a few days, she felt uncomfortable.
The second wife was used to living a wealthy life in the Hou Mansion. She had two sons and one daughter. Now the house is too small to live in.
She could only force herself to continue sleeping with Xu Wenzhi, who had become a living dead.
The two maids sent by her brother lived in the woodshed.
Since the second wife was not interested in Xu Wenzhi, Xu Wenzhi always smelled bad.
The second wife was thinking of buying a big house so that she could live separately from Xu Wenzhi.
But in the capital, where land is at a premium, if she wants to buy a house, she has no choice but to sell the shop her mother gave her.
The second wife is still sensible. She knows that the shop is her only livelihood, and she does not dare to cash it out rashly.
Just two maids serving five masters, one of whom is a living dead, is really too busy.
Therefore, the second wife could only endure the stench and wait for the day when the Yichang Hou Mansion would turn around.
In the second wife's mind, as long as Ruiyi is dealt with, she will remain the same glorious second wife sooner or later.
The second wife even had an unknown thought. The whereabouts of Xu Yan and Xu Jun were unknown, the Hou Mansion had not yet been divided, and Xu Wenzhi was already the only legitimate male of his generation who was still alive.
If something happened to He's eldest son, would she get a big advantage for nothing...
This belief has always supported the second wife to persevere.
So, after learning the news that the plaque of the Marquis Mansion in Yichang was demolished, the second wife went completely crazy.
She took advantage of the middle of the night when no one was around, covered Xu Wenzhi with a pillow, and sat quietly next to the body all night.
It wasn't until the next morning that I ran out crying to report the funeral.
Since he can't get the Hou's Mansion back, the only remaining male descendant of the Yichang Hou's Mansion is useless.
...
Although these officials in the capital were not very capable at work, they were very good at guessing the new emperor's thoughts.
After discovering that the new emperor's attitude towards Jin Qing was gentler than that of the previous emperor, someone immediately came forward.
The most obvious manifestation is that they go to Jin Qing's house every day to send greetings, and there are many more people who want to catch up with Jin Qing.
Regarding these people, Jin Qing behaved very simply, shutting everyone out and not seeing anyone.
Even if this is the case, it can't change everyone's determination to make things even better.
After hearing the news that Xu Wenzhi died suddenly at night, before the second wife could find someone to bury Xu Wenzhi, the Sentence Division Yamen with a keen sense of smell sent a widower to do an autopsy.
They claimed that Xu Wenzhi was a court official and must be inspected before being buried.
After hearing this, the second wife's expression immediately stiffened.
The man was also a shrewd man, and he immediately deceived the second wife.
The second wife was already very nervous, and if she was deceived like this again, she would pretend to be telling the truth.
Murdering a husband was a serious crime in any dynasty. The second wife was soon imprisoned, and even her brother was implicated.
The whole family couldn't hold their heads up.
As for He, she was staying with relatives, waiting for her mother's family to come and take her back to Jiangnan.
The Yichang Marquis Mansion in Nuo Da became torn apart like this.
Without the blessing of the Hou Mansion, everyone will have to rely on their own efforts if they want to live a good life in the future.
Jin Qing has been living a very leisurely life recently, because the emperor has sent word that Jin Qing will soon leave for her new fiefdom.
The impending invasion of the Jin Kingdom has always been a worry for the emperor.
The envoys from the Kingdom of Jin who came to ask for the princess had already left before the new emperor ascended the throne.
For these Jin envoys, it didn't matter who was the emperor.
What matters is whether they can take advantage of the instability in imperial power and seize the time to complete their great cause of occupying Kuang Dynasty.
In fact, the emperor did not really believe that Jin Qing could help him stop the invasion of the Jin Dynasty.
He was only kind to Jin Qing because he sympathized with Rui Yi's experience and wanted to make up for the sins Rui Yi had suffered in the Kingdom of Jin over the years.
Moreover, Jin Qing could be regarded as the person who helped him ascend to the throne from the side. The emperor felt that paying more attention to Jin Qing would repay Jin Qing's favor.
Moreover, Jin Qing, a regicide, voluntarily left the capital far away, and the fiefdom he chose was close to the border of the Kingdom of Jin. There was no reason why the emperor would not accept the offer.
The emperor's original intention was to send Jin Qing away far away, and it was best not to return to Beijing for the rest of his life.
Since Jin Qing was now obsessed with attacking the Jin Dynasty, the emperor followed Jin Qing's wishes. Anyway, the fiefdom Jin Qing chose was adjacent to the Jin Dynasty, so sooner or later he would run into it.
The emperor also arranged 200 guards for Jin Qing, claiming to assist Jin Qing in his fight against gold.
Among them was the young man who was lent to Jin Qing by the emperor.
On the surface, these heroic guards accompanied Jin Qing to defend the border.
But in fact, the emperor secretly ordered the young man, saying that Jin Qing was not very clear-headed and that he must take good care of Jin Qing and not let her take the initiative to stir up trouble.
It would be best if their war with the Jin Dynasty could be delayed for a while.
But Jin Qing took the conditions he negotiated with the emperor seriously.
Before setting off, Jin Qing happily gave the emperor a menu, which clearly stated the prices for the various levels of generals in the Kingdom of Jin.
Looking at the price list on the paper, the emperor approved it without hesitation, and then sighed to himself: What a sin, the eldest princess is even more crazy.
