Next to the old lady sat a graceful middle-aged woman, Mrs. Shangshu, while the others were standing.

Only the people sitting were drinking tea from their cups, and two maids were standing behind them, fanning themselves. There were no less than ten kinds of snacks placed on the coffee table in front of them.

Zhang Hao stepped forward to receive the gift, his face was respectful, but he was cursing in his heart. How awesome. At this time, their Shangshu Mansion actually still has food for making cakes?

"My grandson would like to say hello to his grandmother, and say hello to his mother." Zeng Yongrui limped forward and knelt to say hello.

Neither the old lady nor Mrs. Shangshu had any intention of calling him up. Those who drank tea drank tea and those who ate snacks ate snacks.

And little Sisi's stepmother stepped forward and acted coquettishly: "Grandma, please drink slowly, don't burn it~"

"Giggle... My granddaughter-in-law is filial. What's going on with you?" The old lady narrowed her triangular eyes.

"Grandma, you have to make the decision for Hong'er! Miss Sisi beat the young master, but was pulled away by the maids. Mr. Zhang said that he would sue the emperor."

"You're talking nonsense. It's obviously your maid who is beating little Sisi with a wooden stick. Look, old lady, there are bruises on little Sisi's arms."

"She threw it herself. Mr. Zhang didn't see anything and just talked nonsense. Tell me, did anyone hit Miss Sisi?"

"Oh, you guys are so noisy, how decent is it? Are you taking me seriously?"

The old lady roared angrily and drank another half of the cup before she was satisfied.

Zhang Haoxin said, Oh my god, I am convinced, you can show off better than my grandfather...

"Old madam, look at your great-granddaughter who was beaten by your grandson-in-law's maid. Her whole body is covered in bruises. Do you still find it too noisy?" Zhang Hao suppressed his anger.

"Ahem," the old lady cleared her throat and said to the others, "You all should step back."

Everyone retreated one after another, even Mrs. Shangshu also withdrew. A granddaughter was not worth her trouble.

It is quite hard for her to take care of the entire Shangshu Mansion, and she still has many things to arrange.

Only the old lady, Zhang Hao and the young lady were left in the room. The old lady was slowly eating snacks and drinking tea.

Zhang Hao and the femme fatale stared at each other in the room, and it took a long time before they heard the old lady speak.

"Master Zhang wants to interfere in the family affairs of our Shangshu Mansion?" The old lady was not so polite in her words because she had a royal commission.

"How dare I take care of the affairs of your house? I was entrusted by the Marquis of Zhennan to take good care of little Sisi."

Zhang Hao said in a neither arrogant nor humble manner that if he were before, he would really not dare to intervene in Xiao Sisi's affairs.

Now that Chu Lixuan is backing him up, what should he be afraid of? "I still say the same thing, young master. With Xiao Sisi's injuries, you have no reason to sue the Lord."

"Then what do you think? We can discuss things slowly. It's normal for a child to fall and get bumped." Jiang is still old and spicy.

"I want to take away Xiao Sisi and Zeng Yongrui." Zhang Hao didn't have time to talk to the old lady.

The old lady and grandson's daughter-in-law looked at each other and felt that they could agree to this. Zeng Yongrui was a retired concubine and there were many grandchildren in the Shangshu Mansion.

Little Sisi is a girl, just take her away. The old lady nodded and continued drinking tea.

The young lady got the hint and said arrogantly: "It's not impossible to take these two useless people away if you want, but..."

Zhang Hao immediately raised his head to look at her. Usually, if the front road is not blocked and the back road is not sealed, there will be one in the middle, but...!

What kind of trick does this scorpion woman want to do? Although Zhang Hao can't guess it, just wait and see what happens next.

Sure enough, the femme fatale woman spoke again: "Nothing in the mansion can be taken away. Please remember, Madam, that after you leave the gate of our Shangshu Mansion, you will not be able to come in in the future."

She was extremely happy in her heart. She had only been married to Xiao Sisi's father for half a year and had not yet given birth to a child. The young master was born to his concubine.

Originally, she didn't care about her affairs, but she was Black Heart Lotus. She was thinking about Chu Nuo's dowry, so she wanted to kill Xiao Sisi in disguise.

Since Mr. Zhang wants to take someone away, the dowry belongs to her. The dowry for the legitimate daughter of the Marquis is much richer than that for a concubine of the prince.

Zhang Hao didn't bother to talk nonsense, picked up little Sisi and walked out. Logically speaking, Chu Nuo's dowry should be left to little Sisi.

However, Zhang Hao is not a fool. A little girl can't eat much. The people in the house want to kill her because they just want to swallow Chu Nu's dowry.

That's all, I'm lucky to be able to survive. Don't think about those things outside of me.

On the other side, Jiang Xinyan in the space complained secretly. She knew that concubines in ancient times had a hard time, but she didn't expect it to be so miserable.

Even if he is a concubine, he is still a bloodline of Lord Shangshu. How could he become like this?

However, these matters were obviously beyond her control. Jiang Xinyan could only look at Zeng Yongrui with a sympathetic look.

Just when Jiang Xinyan was sighing, Chu Lixuan walked in silently, "Xinxin~ You heard what we just said."

"Huh? No! I am studying medical books. Husband, I see that you are in a bad mood. What is the problem?"

Chu Lixuan looked at his little wife who obviously knew about it, and still recounted their conversation.

"Isn't this Minister too cruel? After all, Zeng Yongrui is his biological son."

"Big families are like this. A legitimate son is superior to others even if he is a loser. Only a concubine's son will be valued if he is useful to the family."

Chu Lixuan was once again very grateful to his wife, "If I hadn't met you, my husband would have been even worse off than him."

Jiang Xinyan: "..." If I hadn't met you, I would have been in a miserable state. Although I have medical skills, I could only chew tree bark when encountering a locust plague.

"Husband, don't be too grateful to me. The best encounter is fate. If God notices you, there is always a way to arrange your future."

"Xinxin~ My husband has lived a life of fine clothing and fine food since he was a child. He seemed carefree, but I was not happy at that time. The responsibilities my grandfather gave me were too heavy."

The couple reminisced about the bitterness and sweetness for a while, and then lingered together again...

Besides, Wang Wenshan was promoted to the rank of Shaoqing of Dali Temple at a young age, so his abilities are not limited.

After an afternoon of interrogation, the person behind the scenes was found to be his cousin who was his good second brother. Wang Wenshan showed no mercy at all.

Just put him and his accomplices in jail, and no matter how tortured they were to extract a confession, his second brother's cousin would not dare to confess his second brother.

There is no evidence of direct involvement of his second brother. At most, he gave money to his cousin to instruct him to frame Wang Wenshan.

In the past, his stepmother could use his wife and three children to blackmail Wang Wenshan into releasing him.

After divorcing his wife, Wang Wenshan moved out of the palace compound and bought a small courtyard of his own, where he lived with his three children.

This was also the result of his stepmother's own suffering and she was unable to help her parents' family.
