Su Jinsong has not seen Qiu Wuhen for three days. She is sick. The Queen Mother asked people from the Tai Hospital to come over every day to check her pulse. Every day, very bitter medicine was delivered to her bedside, and she drank it obediently.

, but she still lost weight at a speed visible to the naked eye.

On this day, Su Jinsong heard voices outside the door, like someone quarreling.

Xuehua, who was waiting on the side, heard the sound and walked to the open window to take a look and whispered: "What's causing such noise here? Don't disturb Madam's rest."

A young boy's voice outside the door whispered carefully: "Sister Xuehua, it was the third girl who just came to Songhe Hall and beat up that... that lady's personal maid, and also smashed many things in the yard. Your Excellency also

I haven’t come back yet, and Sister Liniang is not here either, so I came here to look for you.”

Xuehua looked back at Su Jinsong, who was leaning on the bed but had an indifferent expression. Many of these things had nothing to do with her, so she whispered: "Go find Butler Zhang."

Xuehua didn't know what Liniang was busy with recently. When his wife fell ill, a new master came to Songhe Hall, and the house seemed to have changed suddenly. However, Liniang was busier than before. She often didn't serve in the yard and stayed by herself.

No one dares to leave my wife.

"Butler Zhang isn't here either."

Xuehua frowned, thought for a while, and said, "Then let someone go to the commander's house to find Miss Jin and come back."

"Yes, little one, let's go right away."

After the boy left, Xuehua heard a soft hum behind her. She turned her head and saw that her wife had closed her eyes, twirling a rosary in her hand and chanting something in her mouth.

Xuehua sighed softly in her heart, walked to the table and sat down, continuing to sit with her head down and sewing.

Unexpectedly, not long after, I heard rapid footsteps approaching from far away.

Xue Hua stood up and stuck her head out to take a look, and quickly said: "Madam, Miss Three and Miss Jin are here, and they also brought a few servant girls."

"Let Liniang go take a look. I'm very tired and want to sleep for a while."

Xuehua knew that except for her two sons, whom she could care about, anything else could not concern her? Thinking of this? Xuehua put down her needlework and walked out the door.

"Why are Miss Three and Miss Jin here?"

Xuehua saw that the expressions on the faces of the two people were different. One was angry? The other was helpless? Behind him were two women with vague marks of slaps on their faces, looking aggrieved and angry? There were also two maids with beautiful faces, but they were

A timid look followed.

"Where's the eldest sister?" Su Jinxiang shouted loudly

"Third girl, please lower your voice? Is the eldest lady still sleeping? Don't wake me up."

"Hmph! Is this the only thing you can do? Could it be that when you woke up, that naughty hooves left, or did he fall into the moat and drown?"

"Miss Third, please be careful what you say!" Although one of the women covered her face with her hands, she still had the courage to say loudly.

Su Jinxiang turned around, and without waiting for the woman's reaction, she stretched out her legs and kicked the woman's calf hard. The woman had no choice but to crouch down with an ouch.

The other mother-in-law was also frightened when she saw Su Jinxiang's fierce attack. She took half a step back and did not dare to speak.

Jin Xiyan looked around the room and saw that Su Jinsong had his back to the door, as if he was really sleeping.

"Snowflake? Where is Liniang?"

"I don't know, this servant didn't know. He disappeared early in the morning."

"Sister? Are you just lying like this all day long? That coquettish hooves is pestering your husband all day long? Don't you care?"

"Third Miss, please don't say such things. My wife is also the wife of the Duke of this country. If you continue to speak so carelessly, please be careful of your servants going to the palace to tell the Queen."

The one who spoke was a maid who came with her. Although she looked young, she was very articulate and showed no fear in the face of Su Jinxiang's bared teeth and claws.

"You little hooves, you are just a servant. How dare you talk to me like this? Someone, drag this little hooves out and beat me to death!"

Soon someone came to drag the maid away, and two women and a maid here rushed over to stop her. For a while, there was a lot of noise in the yard. At this moment, someone suddenly heard a loud shout not far away.

"Everyone stop it!"

Only then did all the maids and ladies stop, and turned around to look. They saw Qiu Wuhen still wearing court clothes, and standing next to her was a graceful young woman with a beautiful face. This person was the new lady in the Duke's mansion.

Wang Hanyu.

"What are you doing? Who asked you to come here and disturb the eldest lady's rest? Why don't you go back quickly?"

Wang Hanyu's voice is crisp and melodious, which is very nice.

When the women and maids heard this, they quickly stepped aside and did not dare to say anything.

Wang Hanyu bowed to Qiu Wuhen and said, "My husband is busy with everything, so hard work and worrying about trivial matters in the backyard really make me feel ashamed. I failed to control the servants around me and disturbed my sister's rest. Is that right?"

I did something wrong, please forgive me."

Qiu Wuhen was about to speak when Su Jinxiang rushed forward and greeted him with a slap before Qiu Wuhen could react. Wang Hanyu didn't react in time. There was a slap on his fair face and a red palm print.

Fell up.

"Miss, second lady..."

The yard that had finally calmed down was now in chaos again.

Qiu Wuhen pulled Su Jinxiang aside, who was about to continue his duties as an adult, and winked at Qiu Ran, who was standing not far away. Qiu Ran understood and stepped forward to pull Su Jinxiang aside.

"Are you okay?" Qiu Wuhen asked softly.

Wang Hanyu seemed to be really frightened. He covered his face with his hands, and there was water in his eyes. After a while, he said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, I'm going back."

After saying that, without waiting for Qiu Wuhen to speak, she turned around and left. As soon as she left, the servants around her quickly followed her.

"If you dare to come to my eldest sister's yard to provoke me, you coward, I will kill you!"

"Enough!" shouted loudly, and everyone in the yard was stunned.

"Su Jinxiang, that's enough. This is a matter in my yard. When will it be your turn to teach my wife a lesson? Now the second wife is also an equal wife. She is not a concubine or a servant. She is also the wife of this house.

, you are not a relative who can beat and scold you at will. Let me tell you, this is the first time. If it happens again, I will drag you out and beat you twenty times."

Su Jinxiang was stunned. This was the first time she saw her brother-in-law getting angry at her. In the past, whenever she got into trouble or was unreliable, her eldest sister would always get angry. Even her eldest brother-in-law would not say a word. Today

He actually got angry at himself because of a new wife.

"Okay, okay, Qiu Wuhen, you have the guts! You are great! If you have the ability, you can drive everyone from our Su family out of your Duke's mansion. Now you are not a son-in-law, nor are you from our Su family.

We can no longer live here shamelessly. If you say anything, I will take my eldest sister, mother and aunt and leave here. Without the care of your father-in-law, our Su family will not starve to death!"

After Su Jinsong finished speaking, he wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, shook off Qiu Ran's hand that had been holding him and ran away.

"Why are you still standing there, why don't you hurry up and chase after me?" Qiu Wuhen looked at Qiu Ran who was staying where he was and shouted.

Xuehua quickly asked everyone in the yard to disperse. When she saw Qiu Wuhen walking towards Su Jinsong's room, she thought for a moment and did not follow him. Instead, she sighed and turned around and went out.

Qiu Wuhen entered the door and saw that the person on the bed was motionless. He walked to the bed and was about to sit down when he heard the person on the bed say: "Go away, I don't want to hear anything from you."

When Qiu Wuhen heard this, he paused and said after a while: "Give me some time, I will talk to the emperor."

"No, when my illness is cured, I will take my mother and son to live in Zhuangzi."

Qiu Wuhen's heart twitched fiercely. He looked at the thin body with his back turned to him, sighed, and turned around to leave.

A month later, Liu Chen was sent to Hunan to serve as the governor-general of Hunan Province. A few days before leaving, An Yiru came to say goodbye to Su Jinsong.

Su Jinsong was able to get up, but his expression was still bad, which made An Yiru feel sad.

"Son, if you want to be more open-minded, look at all the officials in the capital who don't have three wives and four concubines. Except for you, all the adults in your family are just a woman given by the emperor. Even if the emperor gave it to you, your adults wouldn't dare to take it away.

Ah, even though I was an equal wife at that time, I couldn't get past you. If you really leave here and go to Zhuangzi, not only will the officials in the court laugh at your family, but they will also treat you badly.

As soon as you leave, isn't that woman just right..."

"Foster mother, please don't try to persuade me. I have already figured it out. Whatever he wants, he can marry whomever he wants. It has nothing to do with me. It was because I was ignorant in the past. There were so many women who loved him, but I didn't care.

Jean, now that I think about it, it’s actually me who doesn’t understand the rules and makes it difficult for him. It’s just that I’m out of sight, and naturally I’m not upset when I can’t see.”

An Yiru sighed and said, "What's going to happen if this goes on like this? Didn't you give up your position to others for nothing?"

Su Jinsong smiled sadly.

At this time, Liniang came in with fruits and snacks. She first saluted An Yiru and then said, "Now that Mrs. Liu is gone, I don't know when I will be able to see you again. Our wife must miss you very much."

An Yiru sighed: "Yes, of course I am very reluctant to let go of your wife, but I have to follow you. When we settle down, we will send someone to pick up your wife and live there for a while."

Liniang added: "By the way, I heard that our second son's fiefdom is also in Hunan, right?"

After hearing this, An Yiru nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, I heard from my master that that place is close to Shu and is a very wealthy place. I will go and have a look later."

Liniang said: "When our second young master grows up, we can follow him to live in his fief. At that time, won't my wife be able to see you often?"
