After letting out her anger, Lady Rongchang Hou was in a good mood.
Only now did she understand what it meant to take revenge when there is a grudge, and to repay a grudge when there is a grudge. No wonder people say that mountains of gold and silver are not as solid as not having a mountain called mother-in-law and sister-in-law above your head.
From now on, she will no longer have such a heavy pressure on her head.
The nanny beside her quietly congratulated her: "From now on, we can finally be the wives of the master of this mansion..."
That’s right. I’ve been married for so long, but only now can I be my own master.
The wife of Rongchang Marquis waited for Rongchang Marquis to come back that night, and then she carefully asked him, "My Lord, how is the matter? Did the emperor not blame you?"
She gently took off Rongchang Hou's outer clothes, helped him lie on the bed, and hurriedly ordered someone to come in and cut Rongchang Hou's trousers at the knees and apply medicine.
Rongchang Hou took a breath in pain and broke out in a sweat. After a long while, he let out a deep breath: "The emperor said that I couldn't even handle my family affairs properly, and I wrongly accused Kong Gongfeng and the third wife of the Wei family..."
The third wife of the Wei family even wrote a memorial, planning to commit suicide by hitting her head against a pillar if her father was wrongly accused.
If this really caused the death of the Third Madam...
Rongchang Hou closed his eyes, and in his heart he kept thanking himself for making the right decision. He shook his head and said, "Fortunately, it didn't cause irreversible consequences in the end. It's not too late to remedy the situation. His Majesty saw that I was seriously injured and only reprimanded my elder sister for her vicious mind..."
The words of the saint are golden. After he said this, Feng Shuyuan's reputation was completely ruined.
The wife of the Marquis of Rongchang was silent for a moment before she said, "Sister was upset too. She beat and scolded Tingxue and the others the whole afternoon, and she also knocked over all the food that was sent in."
Rongchang Hou looked at his swollen knees and didn't say anything for a long time. After a while, he looked up at her and said, "Let her do whatever she wants. When the time comes, clean up the courtyard to the west where my aunt used to live, and let her worship Buddha in it. From now on, she doesn't have to come out. She doesn't need too many servants around her, just Tingxue will be enough, and let a maid guard the door, and don't have to have any other servants."
He carefully thought for a while to see if there was anything he had missed, and then he continued, "The family can't stand it anymore. If it continues like this, she will break it up sooner or later. I'm already scared. From now on, she won't leave the room again. I'll support her, but I'll just treat her as if she's dead..."
As he spoke, he took the hand of Rongchang Hou's wife and took a deep breath: "You should do the same. You don't have to bear her anger."
The hostess of the house should be someone who doesn't cause trouble.
Feng Shuyuan is really too vicious and mean.
Rongchang Hou waited for his wife to nod hesitantly before saying, "Also, prepare some gifts and go to the Wei family and the Kong family... They have suffered an unexpected disaster, so we should show our appreciation..."
The wife of the Marquis of Rongchang nodded hurriedly: "I know everything. This gift must be prepared to be more generous... After all, they were wronged, and Master Wei Wu also made great contributions in Jiangxi..."
In addition, the Wei family is about to marry Shen Chen, and Emperor Longqing cannot bear to see the Wei family being wronged.
Rongchang Hou hummed and said, "I will personally apologize and make amends when the time comes... I'm sorry to have wronged you, this has nothing to do with you..."
"What are you talking about?" Rongchang Marquis's wife interrupted him quickly: "How can it not be my business? Your business is my business. As long as you are fine, everything will be fine."
The nanny breathed a sigh of relief and walked out, her face full of smiles.
It only took two days to complete the task. Feng Shuyuan could no longer jump up and down. She felt a little proud, but more afraid of those people...
Who are those people and why did they attack Feng Shuyuan...
She doesn't understand, but she doesn't need to understand.
Ying Kai threw an apple and caught it, saying with a smile: "You are really generous, two hundred taels of silver for each person, wow, Rongchang Marquis is really rich."
Even if she had money, it wouldn’t stop Feng Shuyuan from causing more trouble.
Young Master Lin looked at them with an expressionless face, coughed, and waited until they were all quiet before saying, "I have something to do, so I'll go out for a while."
Ying Kai glanced at him and knew that he was going to meet Miss Wei Qi, and he wanted to sigh.
It's useless to be nice to Miss Wei Qi. She's about to get engaged to Shen Chen. Why do you still help Miss Wei Qi do so many things at this time...
But he also knew that he couldn't say anything. After all, Young Master Lin had always been a very opinionated person, and he was very decisive when it came to his own affairs. Even the Concubine Shu in the palace might not be able to persuade him, let alone other people.
He hummed, "Don't worry, boss. We'll take care of the paperwork ourselves. You go ahead."
Young Master Lin glanced at him, nodded, and walked out.
He went to the Wei family first.
At this time, Wei An and Old Madam Wei had almost returned home, so he should go and pay his respects to Old Madam Wei first.
As expected, Madam Wei and Wei An returned to the mansion in the afternoon. When he arrived, the mansion was preparing things in an orderly manner. The Third Master just came back from the yamen and smiled when he saw him: "The Third Master is here, come in and sit down!"
Young Master Lin was always gentle in front of the Wei family. He nodded when he heard this and said, "Mr. Kong's case has been settled. Mr. Kong was wrongly accused. The emperor has issued an order to let him go home..."
The Third Master obviously knew what was going on, but after hearing what Third Master Lin said, he couldn't help but feel relieved. While leading Third Master Lin inside, he said, "Thank you, Third Master."
Young Master Lin shook his head, his hands behind his back, his expression somewhat solemn: "It was Xiao Qi who came up with the idea. It was she who started with Rongchang Marquis's wife and prompted Rongchang Marquis to file a complaint himself... I can't take any credit for it."
The Third Master smiled bitterly and shook his head: "That's what I said, but Xiao Qi and her mother are in Tongzhou Villa, and Shen Chen is trapped in the palace. If you hadn't done it for Xiao Qi, it might not have been so smooth. My father-in-law is old and can't stand the tossing... ... Plus, my wife is worried all day long, I'm so anxious that I don't know what to do. Thanks to you..."
Young Master Lin didn't know what to say. When he looked up, he saw Lan He and Yu Qing accompanying Wei An in the distance, walking towards Old Lady Wei's Ningde Courtyard. He couldn't help but stop.
I haven't seen Wei An for more than half a year. She has grown a lot taller. Her features and eyebrows are still vaguely the same as before, but now she has the gracefulness and elegance that only a young girl can have, making her look even more outstanding.
He stood still and smiled slightly: "It's been a long time since we last met, I don't recognize you."
Wei An greeted the Third Master and replied with a smile: "The Third Master hasn't changed much."
