Chapter 862 Shouldering 2 Rooms 6
"Sister-in-law..." Liu's face turned ugly now.
"Oh!" Mrs. Wu laughed disdainfully. "That's enough. I'm too lazy to continue arguing with my sister-in-law. But I still say that it's not your turn to discipline my daughter-in-law. Let's forget about today's incident. But if it happens again, don't blame me for being rude."
"Although my husband and son are dead, it doesn't mean that I, Wu Shi, can be bullied by others. At least my family is still there. But it's not your turn as a sister-in-law to bully me."
Immediately, Wu took Jiang Chunxi away, making Liu so angry that her face looked so gloomy that water could drip out of it.
"Madam, could it be that the eldest lady took the wrong medicine?" Madam Hai came to Liu's side and asked with a puzzled look on her face, "Otherwise, why would she protect Jiang's nemesis so much?"
"Something is wrong, very wrong," Liu frowned, "What went wrong to make Wu become a different person?"
"Send someone to the front yard to guard it and wait for the Marquis to come back. Tell him to come to me immediately."
Liu felt vaguely uneasy, as if something was out of their control.
Jiang Chunxi followed Wu back to the courtyard where Wu lived, helped Wu sit down on a chair, and then said with a worried look on her face: "Mother-in-law, you just had a direct quarrel with Second Aunt, will it make Second Aunt jealous and make the Second Branch desperate?"
"My daughter-in-law thinks so. You'd better be more careful about what you put into your mouth in the future. After all, there are many poisons in this world that want to harm people. If the second wife gave you some chronic poison, then the daughter-in-law..." Tears fell from Jiang Chunxi's eyes, "Mother-in-law, if something happens to you, then we, the first wife, will not be able to avenge Zhifei and father-in-law."
"We can only watch helplessly as our enemies seize everything from our eldest wife and live a carefree life. You know, Second Uncle doesn't just have Yan Zhihao as his son."
"You're right. The second branch of the family has more than just Yan Zhihao as a son," Mrs. Wu's expression was terribly sinister. "You caused me to lose my husband and son, so the Yongzhong Marquisate should be extinct."
As she spoke, Mrs. Wu revealed a ferocious smile, which was extremely creepy to look at.
This made Jiang Chunxi sigh. Wu was still a very useful chess piece. She could hit whatever she pointed at. No wonder Liu in her previous life used Wu so well. She didn't even need to do anything herself. The original owner was tortured by Wu to the point of being worse than death.
The original master wanted to take revenge on the entire Yongzhong Marquis Mansion, so naturally no male descendants from the second house could be kept. Anyway, no one in the Yongzhong Marquis Mansion was a good person, and Jiang Chunxi would not be soft-hearted at all.
Marquis Yongzhong returned home at dark. When he learned that his wife wanted to see him for something, he went straight to his wife's yard as soon as he returned.
"Could it be that someone said something to my sister-in-law?" After hearing his wife's words, Yongzhong Hou frowned and said, "Could it be that Jiang said something to my sister-in-law? Otherwise, according to our previous plan, my sister-in-law should hate Jiang to death, so how could she still protect Jiang?"
"It seems that Jiang is quite capable," Liu also reacted after hearing her husband's words. It's not that she is not smart enough, but she didn't take Jiang Chunxi seriously before. That's why she didn't think about Jiang Chunxi. "If the woman has no children, the dowry must be returned to her parents' home, otherwise I would like to do something to Jiang right now."
"After all, Jiang has the ability to brainwash my sister-in-law. This is a hidden danger. If I let her live one more day, I'm afraid..."
"What are you afraid of?" Yongzhong Hou said contemptuously. "No matter how scheming Jiang is, she is just a woman in the inner house. Can she really turn the world upside down? If you can really let Jiang stir up trouble in Yongzhong Hou's mansion, then you can only say that you are incompetent."
My wife is in charge of the entire household affairs of the mansion. If this still allows Jiang to stir up trouble in the mansion, doesn't it mean that my wife is incompetent?
After hearing what her husband said, Liu's face naturally looked unhappy, but she was not angry after all: "Jiang is not to be feared, but what about my sister-in-law? My sister-in-law has been in charge of the household for twenty years. Although the household is now in my hands, if my sister-in-law really wants to do something, it will be hard to prevent!"
"What I am more worried about now is what Jiang said to my eldest sister-in-law. If she just instigated my eldest sister-in-law to be dissatisfied with our second branch, it would be fine. But if she instigated my eldest sister-in-law to hate our second branch, that would be troublesome."
"After all, my eldest sister-in-law lost her husband and her son, but it was our second branch that got all the benefits. It's impossible to say that my eldest sister-in-law doesn't have any grudges against our second branch. I'm afraid that Jiang is using this to instigate my eldest sister-in-law."
"There's nothing to worry about," Yongzhong Hou was not that worried. "It's all fate. It's not like our second branch harmed our eldest brother and his son. Even if the eldest sister-in-law feels uncomfortable, she won't harbor any resentment towards our second branch. After all, she is still a member of Yongzhong Hou's mansion. What good will it do for her to harm our second branch?"
"That's true," Liu was relieved after hearing what her husband said, "but Jiang still needs to be eliminated as soon as possible. I didn't want to force Zhihao at this time, but now it seems that it's not possible. Jiang must be pregnant as soon as possible. As long as Jiang is pregnant, we can start preparing to get rid of her."
"You can handle this matter yourself!" Yongzhong Hou stood up and said, "I have official business to attend to, so I will go back to the front yard first."
What do you mean by going back to the front yard? Actually, he was going to his concubine's place. Since a few years ago, Marquis Yongzhong no longer stayed overnight at Liu's place. Even on the first and fifteenth day of the month, he would just come and sit for a while and then leave.
Liu stood at the door and watched her husband leave. Her face turned cold and said, "What do you mean by going to the front yard to handle official business? I wonder which concubine's room he is going to go to next."
Even though she was used to her husband's coldness towards her, at this moment, Liu still felt resentful.
"Madam, haven't you let it go a long time ago? Why bother to get angry with the Marquis?" Madam Hai advised, "As long as the Marquis doesn't get confused and let the bastard shake the position of the Crown Prince, then why should you care about the Marquis's favoritism towards those concubines? They are just some things that are not presentable anyway. You really don't need to take those things too seriously."
"Alas! I understand the truth, but..." Liu rubbed her brows, "Forget it, let's not talk about this."
"Give orders to keep a close eye on Wu and Jiang's every move. I want to see how Jiang brainwashed Wu."
"Also, send someone to the front yard to call the prince over to me." When talking about her son, Liu's face was full of heartache. "When I think about forcing his child again, I, as a mother, feel really uncomfortable!"
