The fate was changed, the mistress of the Hou family was slapped in the face and made money to win

Chapter 801: Son-in-law Li Jie

Yuwen Huan had no way to object and left with a gloomy face.

Zhong Yixiu followed Marquis Mingchang and walked towards the gate of the mansion.

The princess sat there, watching the two gradually disappearing figures, raised her eyebrows and sighed: "I miscalculated."

"Princess, Miss Zhong is very shrewd and difficult to deal with. It's a good thing that she didn't marry the prince." The nanny next to her said.

The princess shook her head and said, "It's a pity that I didn't try to stop her from marrying Huan'er when she broke off the engagement."

The nanny was puzzled, "Princess, what do you mean?"

If such a difficult woman were to marry into the Marquis's Mansion, she might even go against the princess. It is obvious that she is not a good candidate to be a daughter-in-law.

"If the future mistress of a wealthy family is a weak and vulnerable person, how can she manage the harem and control her husband in the future?"

Zhong Yixiu exuded a sense of ruthlessness. She believed that the other party definitely did not really want to die in the Marquis' Mansion. However, in this situation, it was rare to find someone who was brave enough to confront the Marquis' Mansion and had the scheming and planning.

Only with this kind of temperament can one better control Huan'er.

"Princess, this Miss Zhong plotted against the Marquis' Mansion. Aren't you angry?"

"Of course I'm angry, but I'm just expressing my feelings."

No matter how suitable Zhong Yixiu was, it was naturally impossible.

Not to mention that she has already married a son-in-law, given the current situation of the Zhong family, she would look down on him even if he became a concubine.

At the gate of the Marquis' Mansion, many of the people who had gathered before had dispersed, but there were still a few who remained there, wanting to continue watching the fun.

When Zhong Yixiu and Mingchang Hou walked out together, many people came forward to surround them.

After listening to Marquis Mingchang's guarantee and the punishment for his son, before the people could speak, Zhong Yixiu took the lead in bowing to Marquis Mingchang.

"My Lord is fair in his conduct and strict in his management of the household. I am grateful to you."

Since Zhong Yixiu, the victim today, said so, the people naturally followed suit and praised her.

The gloomy look on Marquis Mingchang's face was no longer there, and he looked very reasonable.

"Miss Zhong, you are too kind. This is what I should do. Don't worry, I promise you that something like this will never happen again."

"Thank you, My Lord!" Zhong Yixiu bowed again with gratitude on her face.

In the crowd, Zhong's servant and Zhong's mother who had been waiting outside were watching this scene and finally felt relieved.

Originally, when Zhong Yixiu came to the Marquis' Mansion, she specifically instructed her mother to stay at home.

But after Zhong Yixiu left, she was still worried, so she came here on her own, despite the maids and servants' attempts to stop her.

But she arrived at an unfortunate moment, as Zhong Yixiu had just been brought into the Marquis' Mansion. She couldn't go in and could only wait outside the Mansion.

Marquis Mingchang has already entered the palace.

The remaining onlookers also dispersed.

Just as Zhong Yixiu was about to go to the Zhong family, she saw Zhong's mother in the crowd.

When Zhong's mother saw Zhong Yixiu, she felt a little guilty, worried that her daughter would blame her for not listening to her and running over.

When he was hesitating whether to follow the crowd and leave, he suddenly noticed the wound on Zhong Yixiu's neck.

“Yixue!” She stepped forward quickly, “What happened to your neck? Did Mingchang Hou and the others…”

"No." Zhong Yixue quickly interrupted her mother, "Mom, please keep your voice down."

The onlookers had not yet completely dispersed. If they heard it, there might be trouble.

Mother Zhong looked at Zhong Yixue distressedly, "Yixue, it's because mother is so useless, otherwise we mother and daughter wouldn't have ended up like this."

If her mother's family had not fallen into decline, she would at least have someone to rely on now, and would not have to work so hard to guard the Zhong family.

If it really doesn't work, she might as well persuade Yi Xue to leave the imperial city.

Although according to what Jiang Suining said, no matter where you go, you will encounter troubles that need to be solved, but at least other places are not like the imperial city, which is full of wealthy families and no one can afford to offend.

Seeing her mother's expression, Zhong Yixue guessed what she was thinking, and before her mother could speak, she said, "Mom, I won't go anywhere. I will stay in the imperial city and guard the Zhong family."

"Why are you doing this? We can't afford to offend anyone in this imperial city. And Jiang Suining also said that even if the Marquis of Mingchang Mansion is gone, there may be other troubles in the future. We..."

"You went to see Jiang Suining again?"

"I...I really have no other choice."

"Mom, didn't I tell you that I can handle this problem myself?" Zhong Yixiu frowned and looked at her mother helplessly.

"Yixue, I'm sorry. I've told myself more than once that I must strive for excellence, must cheer up, and must help you. But no matter what I think in my heart, when something happens, my mind becomes confused. I am left with fear and panic. I really have no other ideas."

Zhong Yixue sighed, and after a moment she consoled him, "Mom, it's not your fault. You've been staying in the Zhong family's backyard for so many years, and you haven't experienced anything. It's normal for you to panic when you encounter trouble. In addition, the Zhong family's backyard has been relatively simple for so many years, and you've gotten used to listening to your father in everything, so it's naturally impossible for you to come up with your own ideas all of a sudden."

Zhong Yixue's consolation made Zhong's mother feel even more lost and ashamed, "I'm useless. I'm sorry."

"There's no need to talk about this between us. You have done nothing wrong to me. I just hope you won't always go to Jiang Suining in the future. She doesn't owe us anything. Instead, we owe her a favor time and time again. We shouldn't bother her again and again."

If I can't solve these problems myself, how can I support the Zhong family in the future?

"Okay, I'll remember that." Mother Zhong nodded, and then added, "I won't do that again in the future."

"It's good that you remember it. Let's go home." Zhong Yixiu held her mother's hand.

On the way back, Zhong Yixiu asked Zhong's mother what happened after she went to find Jiang Suining.

Zhong's mother repeated what Jiang Suining had said, and Zhong Yixiu continued with those words and once again explained to Zhong's mother in detail their current situation.

When she returned to the Zhong family, Zhong Yixiu saw her husband, Li Jie.

"Madam." Li Jie saw Zhong Yixue and walked up to her quickly. "Madam, I went to the bookstore before, and I just found out what happened after I came back."

He was still dressed like a scholar, but the robe and hairpin on his head had been replaced with clothes of better quality fabric and jade hairpins, and he no longer looked poor.

The worry in his eyes at this moment, and the concern when he looked at Zhong Yixiu was genuine.
