When Lady Zeng heard Gu Heng's words, she was confused. However, it was true that she was only doing it for Gu Heng, but she did not do it because of him.
It was not like she had never seen the girls fighting for the children before, even if Aunt Fang had such thoughts, Lady Zeng did not think it was strange, but she did not think that Aunt Fang had the guts to let Yue Wen have her way, she only hoped that the little girl in the study could deceive him, and since the child was gone, the Lady Zeng would not argue with him, but she could not understand why the account house had the intention of swallowing up the family property, what could she do with just the account house?
Heng'er, did you misunderstand something? That account was originally brought up by me and the Lady Zou, and she is also one of us old friends, those who know everything are not considered outsiders, furthermore, they are just temporary borrowers, they do not intend to keep her in charge, why would they talk about empty-handed?
Gu Heng was also lazy to explain things to her, "Mother, there are some things that just doesn't matter, as long as you know them, there's no way you can use the second room. Later on, I will call someone from the outside to use it for the house, if they are missing, we will look for them ourselves, and not a single one will be left to Zou Young Mistress. As for the other Zou Ling, I will leave my words here, and not even think about bringing a Aunt Fang into my house, it's no longer safe for me to stay here, if anything else, you can explain it to my father."
The Lady Zeng said angrily: Aunt Fang isn't something you can like, what a good girl, your son is already giving birth to you, and even people can do it, do you have to be so magnanimous, if you really like the one in the study, I won't stop you, but you shouldn't leave the Aunt Fang behind because of this, Mother said something unpleasant, and that proper wife of yours can't be counted on, in the future, you can't let the Aunt Fang control you, what will happen to the Jian in the future if you stay like this forever?
She thought about it, but didn't think about it at all, you were the one who married her, and from the beginning till the end, I have never thought about acknowledging her, you all want me to have a son, and I will not stop you all if you want her to be your housekeeper, but other than that, don't think about anything else, and don't think about adding onto my plans, or else I might do something bad!
"You! "You unfilial son!" Lady Zeng was so angry that her hands were trembling.
Gu Heng's meaning was extremely obvious. Since there was no one in the house right now, he took a step back to tacitly allow Aunt Fang's butler to take care of things, but the condition was that Lady Zou and the Second House could not meddle in the affairs of the Marquis Mansion. Furthermore, he had given the Aunt Fang everything he wanted.
In the end, was the one who decided the outcome of Marquis Mansion in the future. What's the point of Lady Zeng struggling any longer?
As expected, the Lady Zeng was angry, and her illness was not light. At night, she even recruited the Imperial Physician Pei to visit her mansion.
With this, Xie Jingxi had no choice but to stay for a few more days. At least she had some face, and when the sun was not shining yet, she went over to greet them. With that, she thought about it and returned to her room to sigh, "If I knew earlier, I would have left a few days earlier.
Ming Yu started fanning her, "Speaking of which, it's not considered small news. Yue Wen is a small child, the Aunt Fang was beaten up by the Second Young Master, and all the people that Young Mistress Zou sent to help were all chased away, although they were politely rejected, but they were still unpleasant, and in the end, they were set to be the stewards of the Aunt Fang. It's said that the Second Young Master will never go back to her house again, who knows which side of them won the battle."
Ming Yu, this silly girl, was naturally unable to see it, but after such a commotion, Xie Jingxi had confirmed her identity. This girl was indeed well-hidden, quietly staying in the Marquis Mansion for so many years, yet everyone had neglected her.
From the moment Zou Ling passed through the palace, Yue Wen had started to plan for the moment the Sterility Soup were discovered by the Aunt Fang, thus acting out this good show. If the Lady Zou wanted to swallow the Marquis Mansion, it was very likely that Zou Ling would be sent outside the Marquis Mansion. Since Yue Wen was determined to obtain the entire Marquis Mansion, she naturally would not allow the Lady Zou to succeed, but on the surface, she could not oppose the Lady Zou either, so she borrowed the Aunt Fang's hand to fight the Lady Zou in the arena. Because for the time being, the fact that the Marquis Mansion was in the hands of the Aunt Fang was much better than being in the hands of the Lady Zou, and she had even completely destroyed the Aunt Fang's fantasies about Gu Heng.
Therefore, this temporary winner should be Yue Wen. Without question, the next step for Lady Zou to take revenge would be to look for Aunt Fang, it was just that Xie Jingxi did not understand one thing, why did no one take action against Jian this time?
Was he afraid that he would be exposed if he did the same thing too often, or was there something that Aunt Fang could take advantage of?
Since he couldn't figure it out, he decided to not think about it for the time being. Since he had already decided to nurture his baby in peace, then he might as well leave Marquis Mansion matters for the time being.
However, just as she agreed that she wouldn't search for her everywhere, another accident happened a few days after she left for Suddenness Garden.
It was the time of the year when Suddenness Garden and plants were at their most flourishing. In the capital city, people could vomit blood from heat, but here, the trees that covered the sky were extremely cool, especially when she and Gu Yun's courtyard was at the top of a small hill. Every day, she would sit in the courtyard with the old lady and drink tea and chat with her.
When the night approached, a whole family was playing in Xie Jingxi's Xiaoyao's courtyard. Gu Sansi and Xie Bakuai were lying on the ground resting after their fight, but suddenly, Gu Sansi looked like he was blown up by someone as he barked crazily. Even the normally calm Xie Bakuai had his eyes opened wide, it was unknown what provocation he received.
Fang Yu looked around warily, this area was originally connected to the rear mountains, although it was separated by a wall, in order to blend in with the scenery around, the plants outside the house had almost maintained their original appearances, which meant that they were actually separated from the back mountain by a wall.
However, Gu Yun had always been cautious, the road at the back of the mountain had already been sealed by him. Other than the beautiful scenery, normal people would not be able to get up, but the cat and dog were the ones that were woken up the most.
"Fang Yu, go look at the back, did something small run in?"
However, in the broad daylight, there should be no problems, so he was not worried at all. Fang Yu vigilantly searched forward, and when she was under a tree, she suddenly heard some movement from above. Fang Yu warned them loudly, "Who's there!"
There was a rustling sound from the tree. Before long, an unknown object fell down, and while it was falling, it shouted, "A good man, please spare me, a good man, spare me! "I am a human, don't you dare stab me with an arrow!"
Fang Yu was shocked, did someone really come up? How is this possible!
When she looked at the one that fell to the ground, she was actually a little girl, and the little girl was hugging her head with dirt all over her face, and had been yelling "Spare me, man" all this while, Fang Yu felt that something was wrong, why did she feel that this voice sounded so familiar!
The lady who barged in unintentionally was none other than Zou Ling.
Xie Jingxi was truly shocked, she simply could not imagine how Zou Ling could have found her way here. In truth, Zou Ling had coincidentally found her way here and upon seeing Xie Jingxi, she was completely stupefied, "Is it really Grand Mistress? I got lost in the mountains, and I was chased by a leopard for a long time. I only managed to get away after I climbed up a tree. "
Zou Ling's nose was full of tears. Before Xie Jingxi could say anything, Old Man Ji was amused, "Aiyo, this little girl is really fun. She knows how to climb trees, let me see for myself."
Zou Ling, "..."
She looked at Old Man Ji with her feline face, "Uncle, my legs are broken, where do you think I am to climb trees?"
"You broke your leg. That's fine, I'll reconnect you before you crawl."
Zou Ling, "..."
"Grandfather, please do not interrupt. Miss Zou Ling, it's fine if you climbed up a tree, but how did you climb up here?"
"Madam, don't listen to her nonsense!" Fang Yu looked at Zou Ling warily, "Miss Zou Ling, are you treating us as fools? This place is not a place a little girl like you can crawl to, if you hide in a tree I will believe you, but you can't possibly say that the leopard is under that tree right? "Don't tell me you flew all the way here!"
"I, I really am not lying, Sister Fang Yu, if you don't believe me, you can go out and watch, that leopard followed me all the way, I don't know how I got here, I climbed up the tree and the leopard kept staring at me, I almost crawled up as well, I was afraid that I would climb along the branch all the way to another tree and crawl, in the end, I saw a wall here and I hid, but I heard that there was someone who did not dare to come out, I did not lie!"
Fang Yu went out to check and sure enough, she saw a leopard squatting not too far away, glaring at her like a tiger. However, she still could not believe what Zou Ling had said, but she did not believe it, and there was nothing she could do about it.
Since Zou Ling had already said so, Xie Jingxi could not do anything to her. Besides, Old Madem and Old Man Ji did not know about it, they felt that this girl was pitiful. The old lady said: "Since this lady knows him, we should save her first.
Seeing that the sky was getting darker, Xie Jingxi decided to call her over to stay for the time being, "Fang Yu, go prepare a room for Miss Zou, we will stay here for the time being, tomorrow you will personally send her back."
Fang Yu was unwilling in her heart, but since Xie Jingxi had given the orders, she could only follow them.
