"My dad! Why did you just leave like this? Your son hasn't even filial piety to you yet! Why is the second young lady of the Hou Mansion so cruel? She made you walk back from the countryside by yourself on a snowy day. Dad,
You were exhausted to death. Today your son has come to the Marquis Mansion to seek justice for you. You have a soul in heaven, so you must protect your son!"
After listening to the man's words, the people onlookers showed signs of pity.
"It is really inhumane to let an old man suffer such a crime!"
"Yes, if you do such a thing, you will be punished sooner or later!"
Listening to those people's curses on Qian, Jin'er didn't even frown.
If the curse was effective, she would definitely never go out again and spend every day in the house cursing people with Qian.
The crying man listened to the people around him speaking for him, and felt extremely satisfied.
This is what he wants.
Even people from the Hou Mansion must not care about their reputation.
At that time, for the sake of reputation, the Hou Mansion might give him a large sum of money just to shut his mouth.
Then his father died a worthy death.
The man cried even harder.
Jin'er sneered, then turned around and ordered the women behind him, "Hit me hard! Whoever beats the hardest will be rewarded heavily by the Second Young Madam!"
Everyone in the Hou Mansion knows that the second young lady, the Qian family, is the richest in the Hou Mansion.
The Qian family's numerous rewards must be a large sum of money.
The eyes of these women lit up.
The manager was hesitant and made a fuss at the gate of the Hou Mansion, fearing that others would think that the Hou Mansion was bullying others.
The person in charge advised: "Miss Jin'er, I'm afraid this is not good. Why not give him a sum of money and send him away."
Jin'er raised her eyebrows, "Why, do you think the Second Young Madam's money was brought by the strong wind? Give it to whoever you want? Remember, the Second Young Madam's money must be spent happily.
.And now, the Second Young Madam is not happy, let alone spending money for it. What are you waiting for? Why don’t you hurry up?"
Seeing that he could not persuade him, the manager stepped aside.
The man, who was crying vigorously, saw from the corner of his eye several fierce-looking women heading towards him, each holding a stick in their hand.
The man was so frightened that he didn't dare to cry anymore.
That man was also a coward who cherished his life and could not stand and wait to be beaten.
Before the stick fell on him, he had already run away, not forgetting to pick up his father who was lying on the ground before running away.
"Just wait! You will be punished!" The man finished his harsh words and ran away.
Jin'er spat at the man's back and sneered: "Useless thing."
She glanced sideways at the butler again, as if she was scolding the butler for his ineffectiveness with her eyes.
The manager knew he was in the wrong, so he could only rub the back of his head in a dignified manner.
Jin'er took the people back to the Hou Mansion, and the matter was settled.
In the darkness, a piece of clothes moved.
Mrs. Zhao had been hiding in the dark, watching the farce at the door of the Hou Mansion.
Her maid Su Niang saw Jin'er and others returning to the Hou Mansion, so she persuaded them: "They have gone in, let's go in too. Your hands and feet must be cold after standing here for so long."
Now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, the weather is getting colder and colder. Sometimes when I stand in the sun, I still feel the cold radiating from my bones.
What's more, now that they are hiding in the dark, where the sun doesn't shine, it must be extremely cold.
Mrs. Zhao's lips were already blue from the cold, her brows were furrowed, and a trace of hatred flashed in her eyes.
The person who pretended to be a doctor was exposed in time, and there were no serious consequences.
But Chen Sirui still drank a bowl of the medicine prescribed by the counterfeit, and Ms. Zhao blamed herself for this. The fourth young master Chen Wen also blamed her a lot, blaming her for trusting others too easily and almost harming Chen Sirui.
Zhao was extremely wronged. The person was invited by Qian, and Qian had sworn it, so she was completely defenseless.
Zhao has always been cowardly, but as a mother, she is strong. As long as something happens to Chen Sirui, she can turn into a leopard ready to attack.
Mrs. Zhao then told Su Niang, "Follow me and have a look."
Su Niang didn't understand Zhao's words for a moment, "What did you ask me to see?"
Zhao explained: "Follow the impostor's son to see where he has settled, and then inquire about his situation."
Su Niang was even more confused, "What are you doing asking about that person?"
Mrs. Zhao's tone was stern, "Just go ahead."
Su Niang had rarely seen Mrs. Zhao like this, so she said yes and went outside the Hou Mansion.
Mrs. Zhao then went to the Marquis's residence and stood in the cold wind for a long time. Her legs were so cold that they became weak.
Unknowingly, she walked outside the prince's courtyard.
It was said that the Crown Prince was coming back soon. Mrs. Zhao couldn't help but look into the courtyard. The servants coming and going in the courtyard all had smiles on their faces.
Fu Zhao must be very happy that the crown prince is coming back.
Mrs. Zhao wanted to go in and say a few words of congratulations, but suddenly she remembered her indifference to Fu Zhao some time ago, and she retracted her step.
Her smile faded.
How could she have the dignity to go in and talk to Fu Zhao now, pretending that what happened before had never happened?
Chen Wen said that she had soft ears, and he was right.
She was provoked into losing her mind by Qian's casual words.
She thought Qian was a life-saver, but she almost let Qian hurt Sister Rui.
She stood outside Fu Zhao's yard for a while, crying and laughing at times.
She saw the servants passing by looking at her quietly.
She quickly lowered her head and left in a hurry.
When Siqi came out to pour water, he only saw Zhao's back as he left in a hurry.
She walked quickly and wanted to say hello to Mrs. Zhao.
But by the time she chased her to the door of the courtyard, Mrs. Zhao was already far away.
Si Qi was confused, so he went back to the house and told Fu Zhao about seeing Zhao.
Fu Zhao didn't even raise his head, "Maybe he was passing by."
During this period, Fu Zhao really felt Zhao's affection for Fu Zhao.
She didn't know the reason, and she wouldn't take the initiative to ask.
Si Qi recalled that Zhao's expression did not look like she was passing by.
But seeing Fu Zhao concentrating on sorting out the jewelry he and Su Yurong bought from abroad, Si Qi wisely stopped mentioning Zhao.
While talking to Si Qi, Fu Zhao had already sorted out a box of jewelry and handed it to Si Qi.
"You should keep these first, and then distribute them to the maids in the yard on the first day of the new year. I have no use for these, and it would be a waste to leave them alone." Fu Zhao said with a smile.
Mrs. Chen will prepare New Year's gifts for every servant in the Hou Mansion.
But Young Master Fu Zhao had to prepare a portion and give it to the maids in his yard.
Si Qi held the box and said with a smile: "I will thank the Crown Prince's wife on their behalf."
