Chapter 315 Informed
Yongninghou Mansion.
It was already very late, but Mrs. Du did not rest. It was rare that she was waiting at the door of the Marquis' Mansion with a handkerchief in her hand, waiting for the old Marquis to come back.
Tang Yueer’s words today made her feel very uneasy.
She must clarify the matter with the old marquis.
What do you mean the Marquisate was doomed long ago?
How could the Marquis' Mansion be ruined when it was doing so well?
Unfortunately, the old marquis came back very late today. It was already dark and he still hadn't come back.
Mrs. Du was waiting anxiously.
Seeing that the night was getting cold, the maid behind Madam Du said to her, "Madam, it's windy. Do you want to go inside and wait?"
"Get out!" Unexpectedly, Mrs. Du scolded her without even turning her head.
The old woman blushed and dared not say anything more. The other maids and old women also looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.
Finally the old marquis's carriage returned.
Mrs. Du immediately went to greet him excitedly.
The old marquis was carried down from the carriage and sat in a wheelchair. His expression was still very unhappy, and I don't know if it was because he was too tired or because he was worried. His brows were tightly locked and he looked irritable.
He went to the palace today.
The situation in the palace is not good.
Because of the Shanrong incident, the emperor's dislike for the prince was already a foregone conclusion. Although Madam Shen came back and tried to bring disaster to the General's Mansion, the General's Mansion was not a pushover. Under Lin Junchen's manipulation, the two sides were in a tug-of-war, and they did not succeed.
Moreover, unlike before, although the Emperor had thought about deposing the Crown Prince before, His Majesty actually still took into account the father-son relationship, and he and the Crown Prince still had feelings for each other.
But this time he entered the palace and found out!
His Majesty really hates the Crown Prince!
The Shanrong tribe has always been His Majesty’s Achilles’ heel!
Bai Yanli's move was like hitting the snake at its most vulnerable part, strangling the prince's throat. The prince was completely finished.
The Yongning Marquisate is also finished.
Zhou Wucai had a bad feeling before, and now it is confirmed.
One of the reasons why he came back so late today was to go to the palace to gather information.
He also took care of some other things.
How to hand over the several shops in the marquis's mansion and how to hide the gold, silver and treasures.
You always have to be prepared.
So when he came back, he was actually very tired and exhausted.
As soon as he got off the car, he saw several people coming towards him.
He was so confused that he didn't see clearly who the person in front of him was. When she came closer, he saw clearly that it was Mrs. Du.
She never came out to pick him up before, so why did she come out now?
"What are you doing?" the old marquis asked with a frown.
"Master." Mrs. Du wanted to ask immediately, but seeing so many people around, she held back and only said, "I'll push you in."
What a hell.
The old marquis thought, when has she ever done such a thing? So the old marquis nodded, signaled the servants to go down, and Mrs. Du pushed the wheelchair in.
The wheelchair was pushed into the door, and the maids around him retreated. Suddenly, the old marquis heard a sobbing sound coming from behind him.
Listening more carefully, it turned out to be Mrs. Du who was crying.
The old marquis was speechless and said, "What are you doing? Why are you crying so late at night?" He was already annoyed enough, and he didn't see her in a good mood when he returned home.
"Woo woo woo." Ever since Tang Yue'er said those words to her today, Mrs. Du had been anxious for the whole afternoon. Now that she saw the old Marquis come back, she was naturally excited. She wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said, "It's all because of the Marquis. He said that Tang Yue'er was about to give birth and everyone in the mansion would protect her. Now, she is being protected. I almost let her bully me to death!"
Isn't that being bullied?
She is a daughter-in-law, but she could actually say such inhumane words as that she must not die in the marquis's mansion but must die outside.
Isn't this just rubbing her under your feet?
She has been proud all her life, how could she bear this?
Whenever she thought of this moment, she felt extremely aggrieved.
The old marquis was too lazy to listen to her words. His focus now was on the marquis' mansion, not on the family affairs of this family.
So the old marquis said nothing.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Madam Du cried even harder. She said, "My Lord, you can't protect her anymore. If you do, she will be so proud of herself. She usually bullies me in the mansion, but do you know what she said today? She said the mansion is finished and will be convicted! She said it wasn't her who made the mansion look like this, but the mansion was doomed to fail. It was the mansion that ruined her!"
Mrs. Du became angrier and angrier as she spoke. She pressed her handkerchief to her eyes and said, "My Lord, is this what a daughter-in-law should say? Isn't she cursing the Marquis's Mansion? Isn't the Marquis's Mansion in this state because they married her? It's fine if she doesn't admit it, but she also--"
However, before Mrs. Du could finish her words, she was interrupted by Zhou Wucai's voice: "She is right."
"She..." Mrs. Du's words were suddenly interrupted. She stood there stiffly looking at him, "You, what did you say?"
in the dark.
Zhou Wucai didn't look at Mrs. Du, but just sat there in silence.
Yes.
Things have developed to this point, he can no longer hide it and there is no need to hide it anymore.
From the time she got the news a year ago that the crown prince might be deposed until today, he had protected her well enough, and she had sat peacefully on the position of the mistress of the marquisate for another year.
Now is the time for her to face reality.
I thought everything could be returned, but from the current perspective, there is no way.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to protect it.
He couldn't protect her!
"Yue'e!" The old marquis' tone was very cold and unfamiliar in the dark night. "Tang Yue'er is right. Something is going to happen in the Marquis' Mansion. I have been hiding it from you because I wanted to see if there would be any return after my efforts. Now that it is confirmed that there is no return, you should make preparations as soon as possible."
Du: ???
After hearing this, Mrs. Du stood there in a daze as if she was dreaming.
"My Lord, how can this be possible?" Mrs. Du was crying just now, but now she couldn't cry anymore after hearing the news. She stood there in shock.
"What's impossible?" The old marquis explained, "The Marquis' Mansion belongs to the prince, you should know this very well. You should have seen the signs when Concubine Yu was locked up in the cold palace. Concubine Yu was pregnant with the prince at the time, and she was locked up in the cold palace when she was in her prime. This shows how powerful the other party is and how cruel their methods are! Concubine Yu is the prince's biological mother and the prince's most important supporter in the palace. Her death means that the prince's life will be unsustainable."
"What's more, the emperor had already decided to depose the crown prince a year ago. Now, there is no turning back." The old marquis finished speaking and sighed softly, "So Tang Yue'er is right. The decline of the Marquisate is not her fault. It is the fate of the Marquisate."
Hearing this, Mrs. Du stumbled back abruptly, and she held onto a tree nearby with her hands to barely stand steady. But she still felt flustered and uncomfortable, as if she couldn't breathe.
She bent over and pressed her hands to her chest.
The old marquis was not curious about her reaction. Such a calamity suddenly happened before their eyes, and anyone would need time to digest it.
Acceptance also requires a process.
But the old marquis still had one more thing to say. He said, "Yue'e, Tang Yue'er is now carrying the only bloodline of our mansion, and the hope of our mansion. In those long days when there is no hope anymore, this child will be the light of our mansion."
At this point, the old marquis sighed softly from the bottom of his heart: "So, no matter what Tang Yue'er does now, you should be patient and let her give birth to the child first."
"As for the future," the old marquis paused and said, "it doesn't matter how you torture her."
toss?
Mrs. Du was almost amused by the old marquis's words.
She will be exiled by then, so why would she have the mood to bother anyone?
Then she will be the one who gets tossed around.
The old marquis said nothing more, turned around in his wheelchair and left.
Mrs. Du leaned limply against the tree behind her, then slid down from the tree and sat down.
She seemed to be hollowed out all of a sudden!
And you still say you don’t blame Tang Yue’er?
Wasn’t it Tang Yue’er who killed the Concubine Yu that the old marquis just mentioned?
Mrs. Du gritted her teeth!
No one can clear her name! This bitch is the biggest unlucky person who caused the Marquis's Mansion to be like this!
Thinking of this, a dark mist rose in her pupils.
