The old lady was finally convinced by these two people and agreed to Zhou Wenbin's suggestion, but after all, Liu Ziheng had just arrived at the Hou Mansion, so it would be a bit too coincidental for Zhou Wenbin to show up at this time.
In order not to attract the attention of Zhang Yuhang and others, they planned to visit the door in a few days. At that time, they said that Zhou Wenbin came to the door after hearing the news in the market during this period. This seemed more appropriate and would not arouse others' suspicion. .
"Master, how dare they do this to you..." Seeing the old lady leaving, Xiao Ma couldn't bear it anymore and said angrily: "I thought Madam had no feelings for you before, but I think that after all, you and your wife had no childhood sweethearts. They grew up together, and the a little unfamiliarity will gradually get better as time goes by. After all, she gave birth to a young lady for you."
"But how could they do this? Not only is the young lady not your own flesh and blood, but Liu Shirui's coma was due to dystocia. She became pregnant out of wedlock and gave birth to a child. Now they want to plot against you like this. I will go to the Hou Mansion now. Tell the Marquis and the young masters that even if we are no longer welcome, the Marquis will never let this matter go and they will have to pay the price."
"Killing them will give them an advantage."
As he grew up with Zhang Yuhang, they were called master and servant, but the relationship between the two of them has long been as close as brothers. What's more, in this era, how can he swallow the sigh of death when the master humiliates his ministers.
"Those who can't be killed will at most bring disgrace to the Xingyong Marquis Mansion, and I will become the after-dinner joke of everyone in Kyoto. What's more, in the end, it is estimated that Liu Ziheng will still be able to inherit the position of Marquis, even if he is criticized."
Zhang Yuhang's tone did not change at all. Although he did not know about these people's plot in his previous life, he had thought clearly during his rebirth.
How did Xingyonghou Mansion decline? It was not that he was unlucky, but that Lord Xingyong led the army to cut off the rear in order to delay the retreat of the army. This not only led to his death in battle, but also the death of all the elite and direct descendants of the Hou family.
Later, according to the normal procedures, after he rectified the Hou Mansion, the Hou Mansion slowly adjusted, and the royal family and those who were helped by Xingyong Marquis on the battlefield also helped him overtly and covertly.
All this is not how smart Zhang Yuhang himself is, but the protective talisman left by the dead Marquis Xingyong to the Marquis Mansion with his own life.
So he knew very well that if he told the father of the Marquis about this matter, even if he was furious, at most he would kill Zhou Wenbin, or at most he would turn against the Xingyong Marquis Mansion, but that would be the end of the matter. , it is impossible for the old lady, Liu, Liu Shirui or Liu Ziheng to be buried together.
"But aren't they afraid of thunder and lightning?" Xiao Ma's face turned red with anger.
Zhang Yuhang turned around and patted Xiao Ma on the shoulder: "Don't worry, young master, since I already know their plan, do you think I will still cooperate with them according to their steps?"
Xiao Ma was shocked when he heard this: "Then what do you want to do, young master?"
Zhang Yuhang's eyes narrowed slightly: "Since according to normal logic, these people cannot be attacked and completely crushed to death, then I will use my own methods. Don't they want Liu Ziheng to enter the family tree? It involves the inheritance of the entire Hou Mansion, but It’s not that simple.”
It is true that there is no direct bloodline left in the Hou Mansion, but even if you can find it from far away, it doesn't mean that you can't find any suitable ones.
Although Marquis Xingyong was born with mud legs, he did not jump out of the cracks in the rocks. He also has a few relatives. As far as Zhang Yuhang knows, Liu Ping, as the Marquis' biological brother, is now also serving as a county magistrate in his hometown. Ling, but he also has his own son. Although he is a concubine, he is indeed of the blood of the Hou family.
It was impossible to have any thoughts about the Marquis before, but now that a street boy can be included in the family tree, how could a bastard with the blood of the Marquis not have the chance.
After returning to the Xingyong Hou Mansion, Zhang Yuhang wrote a letter to Liu Ping, who was far away in his hometown, and asked Xiao Ma to deliver it. Then he went to the study to sort out the accounts he had given to the Hou Mansion during this period.
The old lady was not in such a mood at the moment. He was worried about entering his child into the family tree.
If you don't enter the family tree for one day, countless branches will appear.
"Old lady, do you really plan to let Zhou Wenbin come to the Hou Mansion? With his character and the young lady's love for him, if he does something outrageous again in the backyard of the Hou Mansion, if my uncle finds out, it will be There really is no way to end it." When Aunt Zhou heard Zhou Wenbin's plan today, she felt very sorry for Zhang Yuhang's uncle.
In her eyes, although Zhang Yuhang is a concubine, he is humble, polite, well-behaved and sensible. He is no better than this sour scholar who can only talk nonsense.
The old lady glanced at Aunt Zhou: "Do you think Zhou Wenbin and Liu Shirui will really find a suitable yellow girl for Zhang Yuhang and reconcile with him as they said?"
Grandma Zhou was shocked and didn't react at all.
"Wenbin is really vicious this week. He may have been planning this matter when he arranged for Zi Heng to return to the Hou Mansion. By then, he will get the moon first, and he will not only have an errand in the Hou Mansion, but he will also be able to catch up with him. With the relationship with Yongchang Houfu, his career will be smoother by then."
After a pause, the old lady continued: "Even if it is discovered that Zhang Yuhang is not so easy to handle, instead of trying to arrange a way out for him, it is better to solve the problem directly from the source. At least he can ensure the support of our Houfu. , kill two birds with one stone, no matter how he does it, he will be the winner, what a good calculation."
Thinking of this, the old lady frowned slightly, feeling complicated and irritable.
"Then what do you think?" Grandma Zhou asked carefully. Although she sympathized with Zhang Yuhang, she knew who she should be loyal to.
"Stop talking about this, go and call Yuhang over and have dinner with me."
No matter how these matters are dealt with in the end, the most important thing now is to let Ziheng enter the family tree first. This is the most important thing now.
When Grandma Zhou went to Yong'anju, Zhang Yuhang had almost read the account books in his hand. The next step was to interview the shopkeepers of each store to withdraw what should be withdrawn, sell what should be sold, and rectify what should be rectified.
It's time to take advantage of this big change of blood to make adjustments to our own people, pull ourselves out of the quagmire of the Hou Mansion, and start anew.
When Aunt Zhou came to find her, she happened to come over and settle the accounts that needed to be settled.
The old lady looked at Zhang Yuhang who was sitting in front of her eating, and said with a smile: "Yuhang, I heard that when Grandma Zhou went to see you just now, you were also going to see me. Is there something wrong?"
Zhang Yuhang put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands, "Old lady, I have completely cleared the accounts of the house this afternoon. Now according to the market price, I have sorted out all the assets in our hands that are not well managed and can sustain our livelihood. The details are here. You can take a look."
The old lady's face changed, but she still maintained a kind face: "I don't understand these things very well, please tell me."
