Chapter 274 Return to the Hou Mansion
Liu Yunxiang got off the carriage and looked at the plaque of the Jing'an Marquis Mansion, and felt as if he had returned to his previous life.
At that time, she often stood outside the gate, looking at the hanging plaque, and looking at it for a long time.
This lintel almost collapsed in the third year she married. She helped her up with her weak strength and worked hard for forty years, which finally made the Jing'an Marquis Mansion the head of the eight major families.
But what did she get?
For her, this marquis family was not glory, but a heavy burden, a cage that could not be escaped. The secular dogma trapped her in it. She loved and hated her, and eventually fell alone.
But at that time, she did not regret it.
Until he was old and seriously ill, he accidentally learned from the children that Xie Zian was still alive.
She protected her under her wings and tried her best to plan their future for them. Although she was no older than them, she still regarded her as her nieces and nieces whom the children cherished. They had been with Xie Zi'an for many years on their backs.
That afternoon, she stood behind the porch.
The second son Xie Lincheng, who has already ascended the title of Marquis of Jing'an, said: "Uncle San is wandering outside and it is time to go back to the house to enjoy his old age. As for Aunt San, she doesn't need to notify her. She has to agree if she doesn't agree. After all, this family's surname is Xie, but not Liu."
The fourth girl Xie Wenqing was already married, but she was still trying to get along with her. She was the Tanhualang of the past. She was originally unwilling to do so, and blamed her for not being able to marry her into a family. Later, Tanhualang became successful and promoted all the way, and had already entered the cabinet at that time.
She was covered in pearly aura and sneered, "This is the Xie family, but the Xie family has to listen to the person surnamed Liu. I want me to tell you that it is our filial piety to take my third uncle and the third aunt outside back to the house for retirement. I am afraid that this third aunt in the family will make trouble, and who can deal with her?"
The third son Xie Linyu, who has become a general, said angrily: "She is old, and it is time for us to take charge of our family. If she dares to disagree, she will be sent to a nunnery to avoid the trouble of the family!"
Standing outside and hearing all this, Liu Yunxiang felt a thunder in her head. She was shocked that Xie Zian was still alive, but he did not return to the Marquis' Mansion while he was alive, and he let a woman take on the heavy responsibility of the Marquis' Mansion for many years. She was shocked that she raised the children, who were filial in her daily life, but she was so kind of heart behind her back.
After that, she became even more ill. When she was dying, she just wanted to take a look at Xie Zi'an and see how stupid she was in this life.
Now she was standing under the gate of the Marquis' Mansion of Jing'an again. She couldn't bear it before and stopped after Xie Zi'an was killed by Li Niang. As a result, Xie Zi'an was not dead, and the Marquis' Mansion was still holding her tightly, and she had to empty her flesh and blood to be willing to do so.
Then this time, she will no longer be soft-hearted.
"Madam, go in quickly." Xie Zian smiled with a calculating look on his face.
Liu Yunxiang nodded at him, then walked into the mansion gate. As soon as he walked to the front yard, the old lady Xie ran away with her feet bumped.
"Do you still have the face to go home?"
She followed the fourth girl Xie Wenqing, and looked contemptuous, "Some people are shameless, but they are indeed thick-skinned!"
Liu Yunxiang raised his eyebrows, "Third Master, who are they talking about? Why can't I understand this?"
Xie Zian hurriedly ran over, pulled the old lady and Xie Wenqing aside, and muttered quietly for a while.
The old lady heard something, her eyes glowed, and Xie Wenqing couldn't help but feel excited, "Then Lingyun Jewelry Store will be ours from now on. Can I get any jewelry I want?"
The two of them turned around again, smiling all over their faces.
"Yunxiang, we will be a family in the future, and my mother will not treat you poorly." The old lady smiled.
"Yes, Aunt San, we can't be too serious in the future. Ours is yours, yours is ours, and yours is ours. Only in this way can we live a good life." Xie Wenqing also said quickly.
Liu Yunxiang smiled and then said, "It's really cumbersome to put the account books of so many shops under Lingyun into the account books of the Hou Mansion. Let's do this. I'll be the one who is here for the time being, okay?"
"Are you the head?" The old lady's voice raised a little, "Is this necessary?"
Liu Yunxiang looked at Xie Zi'an, "Third Master, what do you think?"
Xie Zi'an thought about it, "You should be the leader! By the way, I still owe three thousand taels of silver in the gambling house..."
"When the account book is settled, I will take out all the money in the money house by then. Not to mention three thousand taels, 30,000 taels, 300,000 taels will be a drop in the bucket."
Hearing this, Xie Zi'an felt a golden light shining in his eyes.
"Okay, you will be the leader!"
The Marquis' Mansion was burned by Feiying Village before, and it was mottled and broken everywhere, but the Marquis' Mansion didn't even have money to repair it, so it could only be ruined.
"Girl, you won't really want to come back, are you?" Zi Jin frowned.
Liu Yunxiang's eyes were sunk, "Xie Zi'an already knows Yan'er's life experience, I must kill him!"
Zi Jin widened his eyes, "He knows so well?"
Liu Yunxiang shook her head, "I will pry open his mouth!"
As he said that, Liu Yunxiang took out a bulge of purse from his sleeve and handed it to Zijin.
"I'm going to hold a family dinner tonight. You stir the little clothes inside in the kitchen to cook for a few times."
"This is?"
"The child who got Hongjin took it off."
Zi Jin was startled at first, then extricated his energy and said, "This is what it should be for dealing with such a person!"
That night, the Hou Mansion held a family banquet.
The food was served on the table, and the Xie family sat down. The old lady sat in the main seat, with the eldest lady and the second young master, the second master, the third master and the fourth girl, and the third wife had Xie Zi'an.
Liu Yunxiang heard in the afternoon that Brother Kang was sent to her hometown not long after her mother died.
"Hey, why do I feel that the yard is empty?" said the eldest lady, and looked around again, "Where is Yuan'er, she should be with me."
The old lady also asked in confusion: "Yes, although there are not many people in the house, there are not many people in it, no one can be seen."
The Hou Mansion was defeated and behind, and those who did not sign the contract for selling their bodies ran away. Those who left behind were signed the contract for selling their bodies and dared not run away if they wanted to.
As soon as the old lady finished speaking, a group of servants came over to say goodbye with soft soft words on their backs.
"Everyone is going to make a fuss. You all signed the contract for sale. How could you leave as long as you want?" the old lady shouted.
Liu Yunxiang said: "I gave them all the contract to sell my body."
"What are you doing?"
"These left behind are either clumsy or older, and they are all useless. I plan to change to a group of servants, and they will come tomorrow. Everyone will stick to it for one night."
The eldest lady frowned, "Where is anyone who doesn't want to leave?"
"Madam, you can ask who wants to stay." Liu Yunxiang covered her mouth and smiled.
They owed monthly money every month, had poor food and poor clothing. If they hadn't had a contract to sell their bodies, these people would have run away long ago.
The eldest lady hurriedly looked at her close maid Yuan'er, but Yuan'er knelt down and kowtowed, turned around and left without any nostalgia. Seeing this, the others turned around and left one after another.
The old lady looked at the person who was still a lame person walking at the end and nodded, "It's really time to change a new person. In the future, our Marquis' Mansion will have shops like Lingyun, so it's time to support us."
Liu Yunxiang sat down and said, "Eat it quickly! Especially this black chicken ginseng soup, we choose ginseng that has been used for hundreds of years in Lingyun medicinal materials. Please try it."
