Liu Shiying moved out overnight, which also caused a stir in Xi Mansion.
Xi Mansion is a large place with numerous courtyards and many vacant buildings.
The Jiang family is just the guests of the Governor's Mansion, so the Jiang brothers and sisters can live in the Xi family for a long time, and their daily use will be in accordance with the requirements of the young master and the young master of the Xi family.
Can the Xi family accommodate two outsiders, but not real in-laws?
What's more, Liu Shiying is not just any in-law, she is the niece of the second lady.
In this old mansion, in the future when the old lady is in poor health and can no longer do anything, the second lady will be the hostess in charge of the reception. The old lady has always paid great attention to cultivating the authority of the second lady.
"Don't you know? Yesterday, several ladies went to the banquet at Mayor Li's house. Miss Liu made things difficult for Miss Yun Qiao. The seventh master complained when he came back, which is why the old lady was so angry."
"The old lady has been holding Yun Qiao in her arms."
"If she marries the seventh master, will she be the one to manage the family in the future? It seems that the old lady's heart has gone astray. There is nothing to say about loving the seventh master. She loves her house as much as she loves a bird."
"It's not that the old lady favors the seventh master and doesn't care for the second master, but that she doesn't like the second wife. Miss Fangjing, who was settled by the Liu family at that time, was later replaced by this one. The second master didn't say anything, and the old lady was unhappy."
Old stories are brought out again for gossip.
The second wife's natal family is prominent, but without the support of the Xi family, she may not be as wealthy as she is today.
As for the scandal of the substitution that year, of course it had nothing to do with the Xi family, it was with the Liu family's unhealthy family tradition.
Liu Fangjing eloped with someone and behaved inappropriately.
Miss Liu and Yun Qiao fought against the seventh master, using evil methods.
The Second Madam has always thought very highly of herself. Whether they were servants or sisters-in-law, most of them fawned over her, but few of them truly admired her.
Once something happens to the second wife, naturally everyone will step on her and gossip about her to satisfy her cravings.
"Master Qi made out with Miss Yunqiao on the road", this incident has become another hot topic in Xi Mansion.
However, when the servants mentioned Yun Qiao, they spoke unanimously of favoritism and defense.
Chang Ning and Jing Xin stayed in the Xi Mansion for more than a year and subtly won over many people. Yun Qiao was beautiful and kind, and she was not the mistress of the Xi family, so she unexpectedly won the hearts of the people.
The servants were responsible for spreading the news, and they favored Yun Qiao openly and secretly. When the other masters received the news, they were subconsciously led astray, and they also felt that the love between Yun Qiao and Xi Lanting was very romantic.
Except for Du Xueru, no one criticized Yun Qiao for being "dissolute".
The second wife was so angry that she was angry with the second master.
There was no point in getting angry, as the second master never coaxed her. He never hit or scolded her, and always respected her, but the lack of intimacy between the couple was something that existed in the past.
The second lady was angry for a few days, but she wanted to make amends with the second master.
She always felt a little guilty in front of her second master.
The second master sometimes noticed it, but he didn't want to think about it deeply. When he was young, he hated Liu Fangjing who eloped and ran away, and he also hated the Liu family.
As he got older, he accepted that there were "powerless" things in the world, and he vaguely peeped at the strange behavior between his wife and his uncle. Remembering that Liu Fangjing once hinted that she was afraid of her elder brother and Yu Jing's plot, the second master was not without suspicion.
But every time he had this idea, he would stop immediately.
After more than twenty years, he no longer hates Liu Fangjing. His only hope is that she really escapes and goes somewhere to stay with the man she likes and live the most ordinary life.
The second master can accept this ending.
No matter how ridiculous he is in Liu Fangjing's world, he hopes that she is still alive and she is happy.
Beyond that, he couldn't accept it.
He is an ordinary man, with an ordinary heart and temper. He was born into the famous Xi family due to great luck. He has weaknesses and his own infatuation.
If Liu Fangjing had been killed a long time ago, and he had spent his whole life with the murderer, he would not be able to accept it, and he would be in so much pain that he would want to die.
He couldn't bear the blow, so he pretended to be deaf and dumb.
The second master had some ideas about what happened this time. He immediately went out to drink and play cards afterward. After a few days of fun, the alcohol and gambling numbed him, and he had no ideas anymore.
The Xi family talked about Yun Qiao, Liu Shiying, and Xi Wencheng, the Sixth Young Master.
