Chapter 346: Jinx! As soon as you enter the house, things start to go wrong.
Old Madam Li felt uncomfortable being idle.
"I know you are embarrassed to ask. Remember, when you first entered the Marquis' Mansion, you loved eating sour dates. I will go find some for you now."
Li Ningwan called softly: "Mother, what's going on here..."
Madam Li was very agile and had already run to the gate of the mansion. She turned around and said, "I can't control this matter. You can do whatever you want. The important thing is to satisfy my good daughter-in-law."
What's more important is to maintain stability and safeguard the interests of the Li government.
She only came forward to mediate because the second wife gave birth to a son.
Now that her daughter-in-law is pregnant, no one is more important than her, including the old lady herself.
Zhao Binglu's eyes widened, unable to speak in pain.
What awaits them is severe punishment.
Li Ningwan's lips curled up, unable to suppress the arc of joy. He looked at the second house and said, "Send him to the Censorate. After all, he is my brother. Tell Lord Jie not to beat him to death, just beat him half to death."
Li Fenghu shouted, "Brother, I was wrong! Please let me go!"
Seeing that Li Ningwan ignored him, he became extremely angry.
"You bastard, you are putting justice above your own family and are so disregarding of relationships. Aren't you afraid that your father will find out and come after you? Aren't you afraid of retribution?"
Jiusu looked cold and said, "Don't worry, Grandfather will come to you first."
Li Fenghu shuddered all over, thinking of his strict father. He was beaten many times when he was a child.
"You!" He was dragged away before he could finish his words.
Zhao Binglu fell to the ground, looking in the direction where the master left, crying heart-wrenchingly.
Li Zi knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Li Ningwan: "Uncle, I don't know what he did. You must believe that we are innocent. Besides, how could I harm you?"
Yu Mingzhu was so scared.
She couldn't understand why such a thing happened just after she got married?
"Please, please have mercy, uncle."
This matter really had nothing to do with them, so Li Ningwan would not kill them all. He hugged his wife and glanced at the people kneeling on the ground: "If you have nothing to do, don't leave Lanfeng Courtyard. If you go out, don't cause trouble for me. I won't save you. Be good, and the Marquis' Mansion will make sure you have enough food and clothing."
The people from the first house left.
After a long time, Gigi Lai carefully raised his head. When he stood up, his legs were already numb. He bent over and helped the two women up.
He sighed and said, "What can I do? Why would my father do such a thing?"
Yu Mingzhu bit her lower lip and said sadly, "I'm afraid our status in the mansion will be lower than that of slaves in the future. We have to keep our tails between our legs and behave ourselves."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Binglu came back to his senses.
She couldn't accept such a gap. She had become the head of the family a few days ago, but now she was going to be a widow. She raised her eyes full of tears and anger, stared straight at Yu Mingzhu, and shouted, "It's all your fault!"
Yu Mingzhu was so scared that she was shaking all over.
She backed away until she was leaning against a pillar, too frightened to move.
"Mother-in-law, what's wrong with you and me?"
Zhao Binglu was filled with rage and had nowhere to vent. She grabbed Yu Mingzhu's hair and cursed fiercely, "You jinx! As soon as you came in, our family has been in trouble, and now your father-in-law has even died! Get out of here!"
Yu Mingzhu's eyes widened.
She was thrown to the ground and looked at her mother-in-law in disbelief.
"When you went to the Yu family to ask for my hand in marriage, you clearly said that marrying me was the blessing you had earned in three lifetimes!"
Li Zi helped her up: "Mom, what are you doing? Dad deserves it. Who told him to plot against uncle?"
Zhao Binglu rushed forward and slapped Yu Mingzhu twice. Seeing her son defending her, she said angrily, "Asshole, your father did this for you. As long as your uncle dies, everything here will be yours! She is a jinx. I was really blind at the time!"
Gigi Lai lowered her head and said with a depressed look.
"Isn't that still a failure? Can't we just keep a low profile from now on?" He held Yu Mingzhu's hand. "Mingzhu's family has money. Anyway, we can live an ordinary life and get by."
Zhao Binglu gritted her teeth and said, "She will definitely run away. You didn't know it at the time. We went south and asked around. She has a lover, but her family doesn't agree. Believe it or not, she will definitely run away!"
A good friend?
Gigi Lai frowned and asked, "Mingzhu, is this true?"
Yu Mingzhu was embarrassed. She knew she couldn't keep it secret. She said, "It's all in the past... Husband... you..."
Seeing her hand being released by the man, she felt a little nervous.
"Husband, where are you going?"
Gigi Lai didn't even look back and left the yard: "Let's relax."
A trace of gloom flashed across Yu Mingzhu's eyes. She turned around and said angrily, "Are you satisfied? You've broken our family into pieces. Are you satisfied?"
"Oh, you're still threatening me?" Zhao Binglu said, "Our family doesn't want a fickle jinx like you. Someone, lock her up and give her one meal a day, that's all."
Ignore the daughter-in-law's insults and noise.
She twisted her waist and went back to the room, wiped away her tears, looked at the wide bed, and her mind flooded with the sweetness of her and the master's first marriage. After that, they quarreled day and night, and then... thought of the dirty things between Li Fenghu and Fang Lianjiao.
Don't get angry anywhere.
"Hmph, you deserve it."
She is already at this age and has let it go. She will just be a widow. There is no difference between being a widow in normal life and being a widow in normal life. She will have the final say in Lanfeng Courtyard in the future and she has the money to have a son. As for Yi Hui, it is still unknown whether she can give birth to a son.
If it was a son, he would not be able to survive.
She is not as soft-hearted as Fang Lianjiao.
On the same day, the Censorate issued its verdict on Li Fenghu.
He plotted to murder his brother, instigated the prince, and was exiled to Mobei. Li Fenghu waited all night, but no one looked at him. Until the early morning, he walked on the street in shackles, looked up and saw his son, and he moved his mouth excitedly.
"Capital..."
Gigi Lai lowered her head and didn't dare to look.
His friends kept poking him with their arms, their eyes full of mockery, "Look, your father is looking for you."
"Aren't you going to see your dad off? How about having dinner together?"
"..."
Gigi Lai yelled, "He's not my dad!"
Everyone looked over, including Li Fenghu. His hands were shaking and he had tears in his eyes. He was urged by the officers and soldiers to move his feet, sobbing and walking forward.
The officer asked sarcastically, "Do you regret it?"
Li Fenghu nodded, then shook his head.
I regret not killing him.
Zi Tan told the young lady about this as if it were nothing. She said, "He deserves it. Now his son doesn't recognize him anymore. I heard that Mr. Li Zi has been drinking for several days, and Miss Yu has also been locked up."
"Locked up?" Jiusu raised his eyebrows.
Zi Tan nodded: "The Second Madam said that Miss Yu had a lover in South City, but the Young Master hated her and left her alone. The Second Madam thought she was a jinx and locked her up."
Jiusu chuckled, and his eyes lit up slightly as he thought of something.
"Go to Jinxiu Pavilion and get some of the finest fabrics. Tell them to give some to each courtyard. Remember to hand it over to Yu Mingzhu in person."
