Chapter 274 Return to the Hou Mansion

Liu Yunxiang got off the carriage and looked at the plaque of Jing'an Marquis Mansion, as if he had returned to his previous life.

At that time, she would often stand outside the gate and look at the hanging plaque for a long time.

The lintel almost collapsed in the third year after she got married, but she held it up with her own meager strength. After forty years of hard work, the Jing'an Marquis Mansion finally ranked first among the eight aristocratic families.

But what did she get?

To her, this noble family was not an honor, but a heavy burden, a prison that she could not escape from. The worldly dogmas trapped her inside. She loved and hated them, and ended up alone.

But at that time, she had no regrets.

It wasn't until he became seriously ill in old age that he accidentally learned from the children that Xie Zian was still alive.

She took those under her wing and worked hard to plan their future. Although they were not much older than them, she still treated them as her children's cherished nieces and nephews. They had been communicating with Xie Zian for many years without her back.

That afternoon, she stood behind the porch.

Xie Lincheng, the second young master who has assumed the title of Marquis of Jing'an, said: "The third uncle is wandering abroad and it's time to return home to take care of his old age. As for the third aunt, there is no need to inform her. She has to agree even if she doesn't agree. After all, this family name is

Thanks, my surname is not Liu."

The fourth girl, Xie Wenqing, was already married, but it was she who took the trouble to get her married to the former beauty queen. She was unwilling to do so because she was too incompetent to marry her into an aristocratic family. Later, the beauty queen rose through the ranks and entered the cabinet.

.

She was dressed in jewels and said with a sneer: "This is the Xie family, but the Xie family doesn't all have to listen to the person named Liu. What do you want me to say, it is our filial piety to bring the third uncle and the third aunt outside to take care of themselves in the old age. As long as

I'm afraid that the third aunt at home is going to make trouble, who of you can deal with her?"

The third son, Xie Linyu, who has become a general, said angrily: "She is old, and it is time for us to take charge of the family. If she dares to disagree, we will send her to a nunnery to avoid causing unrest in the family!"

Liu Yunxiang, who was standing outside and heard all this, felt a thunder in her head. She was shocked that Xie Zian was still alive, but he did not return to the Hou Mansion while he was alive, leaving a woman of hers to shoulder the important responsibilities of the Hou Mansion for many years. She was also shocked that she had raised him

The children, who usually talk about being filial, are so kind-hearted secretly.

After that, she became even more seriously ill. When she was dying, she just wanted to take a look at Xie Zian and see how stupid she had been in this life.

Now she is standing under the plaque of the Marquis of Jing'an Mansion again. She couldn't bear it before and only waited for Xie Zian to be killed by Liniang before she stopped. As a result, Xie Zian did not die, but the whole family of the Marquis Mansion was still tight.

He would not let go of her until he had to drain out her flesh and blood.

This time, she was not soft-hearted.

"Madam, come in quickly." Xie Zian smiled calculatingly.

Liu Yunxiang nodded to him, and then walked into the door of the mansion. As soon as he reached the front yard, the old lady Xie ran over on her little feet.

"Do you still have the nerve to go back home?"

She was followed by the fourth girl, Xie Wenqing, who also had a look of disdain on her face, "Some people are so shameless, they are really thick-skinned!"

Liu Yunxiang raised his eyebrows, "Third Master, who are they talking about? Why can't I understand this?"

Xie Zian hurriedly ran over, pulled the old lady and Xie Wenqing aside, and whispered for a while.

The old lady must have heard something, her eyes shone, and Xie Wenqing couldn't restrain her excitement, "Then Lingyun Jewelry Store will be our family from now on, can I get any jewelry I want?"

The two men turned around again, with smiles on their faces.

"Yunxiang, we will still be a family from now on, and mother will not treat you poorly." The old lady said with a smile.

"Yes, third aunt, we can't take it too seriously in the future. What's ours is yours, and what's yours is ours. Only in this way can we live a good life." Xie Wenqing also said quickly.

Liu Yunxiang smiled and then said: "It is really complicated to consolidate the account books of so many shops under Lingyun into the account books of the Hou Mansion. How about this, I will take charge of this house for the time being, okay?"

"Are you in charge?" The old lady's voice rose a little higher, "Is this necessary?"

Liu Yunxiang looked at Xie Zian, "Third Master, what do you think?"

Xie Zi'an's thoughts changed, "It's your turn to be in charge! By the way, I still owe three thousand taels of silver from the gambling house..."

"When the account books are put together, I will take out all the money stored in the bank. Not to mention three thousand taels, thirty thousand or three hundred thousand taels is just a drop in the bucket."

Listening to these words, Xie Zian's eyes were filled with golden light.

"Okay, I'll let you take charge!"

The Hou Mansion was burned down by Feiying Village before and was in dilapidated parts. However, the Hou Mansion didn't even have the money to repair it, so it could only be left in a dilapidated state.

"Girl, you don't really want to come back, do you?" Zijin frowned.

Liu Yunxiang's eyes darkened, "Xie Zian already knows Yan'er's life experience, I must kill him!"

Zi Jin's eyes widened, "How does he know?"

Liu Yunxiang shook his head, "I will pry his mouth open!"

With that said, Liu Yunxiang took out a bulging purse from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Zijin.

"I'm going to have a family dinner tonight. You can stir the clothes in the kitchen water for a few times."

"This is?"

"Children who got the red brocade take it off."

Zijin was startled at first, and then he relieved himself and said, "This is how you should deal with such a person!"

That night, the Hou Mansion held a family banquet.

The food was put on the table, and the Xie family all sat down. The old lady sat in the front seat, the first lady and the second young master were in the first room, the second master, the third young master and the fourth girl were in the second room, and Xie Zian was in the third room.

Liu Yunxiang heard in the afternoon that Brother Kang was sent to his hometown not long after her mother died.

"Hey, why do I feel like the yard is empty?" the eldest lady said, looking around again, "Where's Yuan'er? She should be waiting by my side."

The old lady also said doubtfully: "Yes, although there are not many people in the house, it's not like we can't see anyone."

After the Hou Mansion was defeated, all those who had not signed the deed of betrayal ran away, and those who were left behind were those who had signed the deed of betrayal, and they did not dare to run away even if they wanted to.

As soon as the old lady finished speaking, a group of servants came over to say goodbye carrying Xiruan on their backs.

"Everyone is shaking the world. You all signed a contract of betrayal. How can you leave just when you want?" the old lady shouted.

Liu Yunxiang said: "I gave them all the deeds of betrayal."

"What are you doing?"

"The ones left behind are either clumsy or old, and all of them are useless. I plan to replace a group of servants, which will come tomorrow. You just need to hold on for one night."

The eldest lady frowned, "Is there anyone who doesn't want to leave?"

"Madam, you can ask to see who wants to stay." Liu Yunxiang covered his mouth and smiled.

They are in arrears with their monthly payment every month, and their food and clothing are poor. If it were not for the deed of sale, these people would have run away long ago.

The eldest lady hurriedly looked at her personal maid Yuan'er, but Yuan'er knelt down and kowtowed, turned around and left without any regret. Seeing this, other people also turned and left.

The old lady saw that the one walking at the end was still lame, and she couldn't help but nodded and said: "It's really time for a new person. In the future, our Marquis Mansion will have shops like Lingyun, so it's time to maintain our dignity."

Liu Yunxiang sat down and said, "Everyone, please eat quickly! Especially this black-bone chicken and ginseng soup uses ginseng that has been in the Lingyun medicinal herb industry for hundreds of years. Everyone, please try it."

Hearing this, everyone picked up bowls to serve soup.
