Chapter 315: Bastard of the Marquisate (15)

Mr. Ji sat blankly in front of the steps for a long time, thinking that this was not true.

How could it be possible to get divorced? The concubine and children disappeared with them.

Fake.

It must be fake.

He refused to give up and entered the courtyard where his concubine lived on the other side.

As soon as I entered, I faced the biggest excitement of my life.

Under the dim light, there was no one in the courtyard, but a woman in white was standing in the corridor.

He had long hair, his face could not be seen clearly, and he was dressed in white. A gust of wind blew by, and the coolness climbed up Mr. Ji's neck.

His eyes were wide open and he was too frightened to speak.

"you you you……"

It can't be so sad.

Ghosts come out as soon as people leave?

The woman in white walked forward slowly, like a ghost, until she reached Master Ji, who was stiff and unable to move. She covered her mouth and smiled:

"Master, you are back."

Mr. Ji: "..."

He was stunned for a while before he recognized that this was one of his concubines.

"You...what's your name?"

"Is the master still drunk? I am Ru'er."

Yes, the only Miaomiao who stayed behind was none other than Aunt Ru.

She almost laughed out loud when she knew that the other competitors were stupid enough to follow Madam.

They were all gone, wasn't she the only one left in the backyard?

Auntie Ru couldn't wait to set off firecrackers to see off the concubines. As soon as they left, she couldn't wait to dress up, apply white powder on her face, let her hair down, and put on clothes made of her best fabrics.

As soon as she heard the noise outside, she came out immediately.

But because all the girls serving her were taken away by Mrs. Ji, and there was no girl to help her, she didn't bring a lantern.

So at first glance, Mr. Ji saw that she was no different from seeing a female ghost.

Ru'er...

Mr. Ji thought about it for a long time and finally remembered it.

It's the one with no talent.

He was frightened by seeing a ghost before, and then he was surprised by seeing the concubine who stayed behind. When he remembered who Aunt Ru was, these surprises turned into boring.

What's there to be happy about when a woman he doesn't like for a long time stays?

In addition, the other party's body was really oozing, his face was so frighteningly white under the moonlight, and there was no one else in the whole yard, Master Ji really felt guilty.

If she was a beauty, he wouldn't mind chatting with her for a few more words.

But if it were this Ru'er...

forget it.

Auntie Ru didn't notice Master Ji's disdain, and still tried to apply eye drops weakly: "Sisters, too, actually left with the madam. Master, I am different, I..."

Mr. Ji: "...You might as well go with them."

Why stay here specifically to scare him?

The smile on Aunt Ru's face froze in disbelief: "Master?"

The master didn't want to talk to her.

He even wanted to package her up and give it to Mrs. Ji.

Don’t even keep the good-looking ones.

Really.

He didn't even look at Aunt Ru's face, "How could you say such heartless words to me, who is so affectionate and loyal to me?" He walked out of the yard directly.

He discovered that Mrs. Ji not only took away her concubines and children.

Moreover, even the two girls and boys serving in the courtyard disappeared with them.

Mr. Ji felt a little dizzy for a moment and wondered if he was actually dreaming. He wandered out and when he got to the main courtyard, he grabbed a boy and asked:

"Tell me, what's going on? Are all my concubines really following Madam? Why should they leave? They are my concubines!!!"

The little boys and girls had already hesitated to speak when they saw him coming in with empty steps. Now when asked, they could only answer tremblingly:

"Sir, my aunts... they said they wanted to take me to practice, so they left with my wife."

"Practice with hair? Who allowed them to practice with hair?!!"

Seeing the master's rage, the servants felt miserable.

Those aunts are indeed the master's concubines, but they are serious people who want to be aunts, and they have not signed a contract of sale.

A husband can give away his concubine, but if the concubine wants to escape into Buddhism, the husband cannot stop her.

They were clear in their hearts, but seeing that Mr. Ji was so angry that he wanted to hit someone, they still didn't dare to say these words out loud, and just stayed silent and listened to Mr. Ji's curses.

Mr. Ji cursed for a long time before he finally regained his composure. He was mostly awake from the alcohol, and his brain began to return to his IQ.

"What about those servants? They also lead the practice?"

"My wife bought them all, and the deed of sale is in my hands. My wife said that they are old people who are used to serving, and they couldn't handle being separated from each other, so they took them away together. She also said..."

Seeing the young man stammering, Mr. Ji kicked him over: "Just say it properly!! What else did she say?!"

The boy didn't dare to get up after being kicked to the ground. He could only kneel on the ground and reply: "Madam also said that the servants she bought in the past ten years were all her dowry money, and she took them away." It is logical that if the master feels that he is at a loss, he can go to the Zhou family and the wife will give the servants money according to their worth. "

Mr. Ji was almost stunned.

As the eldest son of the Hou family, does he still lack that little money? Mrs. Ji is deliberately disgusting him.

Seeing that he was so angry that he kicked everyone everywhere. The servants who were kicked did not dare to say a word and only complained in their hearts.

Why wasn't he lucky enough to be taken away by his wife?

It sounds good to say that the mansion is a marquis’s mansion, because the former mansion was still taken care of by the madam. Now that the madam is gone, there is only the master left, and it is not certain what will happen in the future.

After Master Ji vented his anger, he thought of his concubines and concubines.

"No, no, it is understandable for them to keep their hair uncut to practice, but what about my children? They are my children, why did the madam take them away?!"

The servant had a bitter face: "Master, the boys and girls did not follow the madam, but followed, followed the eldest brother."

When Ji Changyan was mentioned, Master Ji's face froze. His fear of this eldest son made him not very confident when he was angry.

"Why did Ji Changyan take his brothers and sisters away? They are all my children! Unfilial son! Really unfilial son! I will go to Shuntian Prefecture and sue him!"

The servant was still cautious.

"Before leaving, my eldest brother told me that if the master wants to sue, he can do so. After he has been beaten with fifty boards for being unfilial, he will definitely come to honor the master."

Whether this respect is a threat or a kind intention, everyone can tell.

Master Ji was frightened.

A father can sue his son, but according to the laws of this dynasty, if both parents sue their son for being unfilial, they will be imprisoned, or at least exiled.

But if only one party sues and the other denies being unfilial, they will also be beaten with fifty boards. There is another name for these fifty boards, called one-bye boards.

It means that if the person who is beaten with fifty boards can survive, the legal relationship between the father or mother who sued and the child will be terminated, and they will part ways and have no connection with each other from then on.

Master Ji didn't care much about not having any connection in the future. He was mainly afraid that if Ji Changyan survived, he would take revenge on him.

Although Ji Changyan was a sickly person, he didn't look like he could survive fifty boards.

But no matter what happened to Ji Changyan, he couldn't treat it as usual.

If Ji Changyan really hated him and wanted to take revenge, he would be in trouble.

Master Ji grunted twice, but he didn't have the courage to do it.

"They are not filial. Will I, as their father, force them to die? Forget it, let them go."

He is still young. He doesn't care about having a few children in the future. Ten or twenty children are not a big deal.

By the way, how many children does he have in total?

Master Ji convinced himself and was about to leave. In the end, he came back and asked the servant: "Have all the concubines really left? There are only a few left?"

He is so handsome, elegant, suave, and the future marquis, and he is gentle and affectionate. It is impossible that they all followed the lady and left, right?

The servant was relieved when he heard this question: "Of course not all of them left. There is still a concubine Ru who stayed in the courtyard, waiting for the master to come back."

Master Ji had already seen Concubine Ru, and he didn't have a good impression of her. He was not very happy to hear this, and only asked: "Besides her?"

Besides her, there is no one else.

Master Ji: "..."

He was very angry and felt that Madam Ji was not a good person.

She divorced, but she also took away all the beautiful concubines, leaving him with only a rotten melon and a cracked date.

Ji Changyan was even more excessive, even taking his children with him.

The most hateful thing is that those concubines and his children were willing to follow him.

Master Ji felt wronged and felt like he was abandoned by the whole world.

Walking alone in the mansion that was much emptier than before, he felt very unfair.

At this moment, he didn't realize what it meant to him that his wife divorced, and the concubines and children followed her.

Until the old marquis chased him around the yard with a big stick.

While beating him, he also cursed:

"You want to piss me off to death!! You want to piss me off to death!!! Rebellious son!! Rebellious son!!!"

Master Ji ran away skillfully, and felt very wronged while running and defending: "Father, why are you blaming me? It's not me who insisted on divorce. If you want to blame someone, blame the lady!!"

Seeing that he didn't realize what it meant for the lady Ji to take away the concubines and children at this time, the old marquis was almost angry to death. He held Master Ji and cursed:

"Idiot!! You idiot!!!"

"Divorce is not a big deal!! But now your lady is divorcing, your concubines and those illegitimate sons and daughters would rather follow the mistress who has nothing to do with them than stay with you. Do you know what this means??"

Master Ji: "Does it mean that they are ruthless?"

Old Marquis: "..."

He knew that his son was stupid, but he didn't expect him to be so stupid.

"I'll beat you to death, you idiot!!!"

"You've ruined the reputation of the Marquis's Mansion!! Don't run!! Come back!!!"

Even though Master Ji escaped the beating of the old Marquis, he still couldn't escape the wind in the whole capital.

When the news came out, many people felt that they were dreaming.

Even Mrs. Ji's brother, Master Zhou, was a little overwhelmed.

For things like divorce, except for those who act impulsively, before starting to do it, you always have to inform your wife's family.

When a couple divorces, no matter the reason, the woman has always been criticized. After all, this world always requires a lot of wives, and they have to be good wives and good mothers, filial to their parents-in-law, and support their husbands and children.

Don't be jealous and be generous, take care of illegitimate children as your own children, and even if your husband takes a hundred concubines, you must take care of them with a gentle smile, but when it comes to yourself, you can't have physical contact with any outside men.

On the other hand, as a husband, there are no rules and regulations.

After the couple reconciles and divorces, as long as the man says one or two bad words about the woman outside, the woman will have to endure the judgment of others for the rest of her life.

On the contrary, the woman cannot say bad things about the man. This is the strange thing about the world. It is obvious that they are divorced, but if the woman says something about the man, in the eyes of some people, it is another violation of women's ethics.

Mrs. Ji could not care about this, but Ji Changze and Ji Changyan would not let her end up like that.

Why did she work so hard for the Hou Mansion for so long, helping Master Ji take care of his concubines, children, and finally be criticized by others?

Since the world is willing to use public opinion to trap Heli women, then this public opinion is controllable.

Ji Changze was very sure that the Zhou family would be Mrs. Ji's reliable backing.

Mrs. Ji was called Sanniang in her natal family. Before she got married, the elders in the family had always called her that.

She has two concubine sisters above her. Those two concubines are honest and always flatter Zhou's mother. Even the two concubine sisters support Zhou's mother.

Coupled with Mr. Zhou as her biological brother from the same father and mother, it can be said that Zhou Zhou’s mother grew up in a honey jar smoothly.

Mr. Zhou has always been concerned about the fact that the sister he holds in his palm is not having a good life in her husband's family. However, although the things Mr. Ji did are looked down upon by some people, if we take it seriously, others will only say "What a man." ,normal".

He couldn't support his sister, so he could only ask Mrs. Zhou to visit her more often.

So Zhou Zhou's mother came home before and said she had something to discuss with her family. She waited for the whole family to arrive and said in a calm tone that she wanted to divorce. Mr. Zhou was the first to agree.

"It's time to make peace a long time ago. It's okay. Sister, come home. If you want to marry again, we will find a good family and marry you in a glorious way. If you don't want to get married anymore, I will support you for the rest of your life. We will still support you." Just like when you were not married."

That's what he said.

Mrs. Zhou also quickly nodded in agreement: "Yes, sister, don't have any scruples. I am always busy by myself on weekdays. If you can come home, our aunt and sister-in-law will be busy together."

Mr. Zhou was speechless for a moment.

In his heart, he is still a man of this dynasty, and he feels it is embarrassing to be divorced, but his daughter is also his biological daughter.

Sanniang has always been well-behaved. If she couldn't bear it any longer, she wouldn't have said these words.

So after a moment of silence, he nodded: "Since you are not having a good time at his house, then come back. You will always have something to eat at home, and you don't have to suffer from their idleness."

This may seem plain, but in this era, as a scholar who wants face and reputation, he is willing to accept his daughter He Li back home, which is something that many people can't do.

As soon as Mr. Zhou, who was most concerned about face, agreed, Zhou Niang's eyes immediately turned red as she tried to keep her expression calm.

She knew best how her father wanted face, but he still loved her and chose his daughter between face and his daughter.

The old lady knew her daughter well and knew why she had been holding on so hard before, so she asked her: "What about Changyan? Is the Hou Mansion willing to give it to you?"

Ji Changyan is not young anymore. If he had not been weak in his early years, he would have started a family long ago.

How could the Hou family be willing to let go of such a eldest son who was quite young and had even passed the palace examination before?

Zhou Niang said softly as always: "Changyan is coming with me, and so is Changze. They are all willing to join me."

Everyone in the Zhou family knows Ji Changze.

Except for Mrs. Zhou, everyone else had only one impression of Ji Changze before.

That was a concubine whom Sanniang raised under her knees. Sanniang raised her as her own child.

When Zhou Baisui was cured of his stuttering and Mrs. Zhou came back and said this, everyone in the Zhou family knew that this Nagasawa was capable, had a good temper, and knew how to remember gratitude.

They were already satisfied with this child in their hearts, and now that they knew he was willing to follow his aunt's mother without the power of the Marquis, they felt even more relieved.

Mr. Zhou stamped his seal: "Since Nagasawa is willing to follow you, then when he comes, he will be the young master of our Zhou family."

On the one hand, she was raised by Sanniang since she was a child.

On the one hand, he has a kindness towards Baisui to cure his illness.

It's not appropriate to treat him like a bastard anymore.

Mrs. Zhou was overjoyed when she heard this: "That's great. Baisui has been clamoring to play with his ninth brother every day. Now that Nagasawa has become the child of our Zhou family, Baisui is the happiest one."

"There is also Chang Yan. Chang Yan had a smooth journey to the palace examination, but he had to go home to recuperate due to poor health. Now that Chang Ze is here, his illness has been almost cured. Maybe by then Our Zhou family can still produce a champion."

The Zhou family settled the matter in a few words, and the old lady patted her daughter's hand comfortingly:

"This is also an advantage for our Zhou family. We have two good children by our side for nothing. Speaking of which, we have to thank the Hou Mansion."

What to thank, of course Mr. Xie Ji treated his wife and children badly, and now the Zhou family has gotten a big advantage.

From then on, Mrs. Ji was Zhou Niang again.

Mr. Zhou was the most enthusiastic about this matter. He was afraid that his sister would feel uncomfortable when she came home, so he hurriedly picked out the yard for his two nephews.

Although the Zhou family was a clean one, they were not as wealthy as the Hou family. After choosing a yard, he personally took people to buy furniture and asked his servants to clean it. Mrs. Zhou was also busy with some girls to decorate it.

They spent all their time decorating the courtyard, and it was very fast. In one day, the three courtyards for their sister and two nephews were all finished.

Lord Zhou felt much better for this, and felt that he had done something for his sister.

He also knew that a divorced woman would be criticized by others, but he was prepared.

Isn't it just a joke?

Those who let their daughters suffer in their husband's family for the sake of face are fools.

For a little reputation, they even disregarded the lives of their relatives.

Waiting for his sister to come back, even if others sneered, he would still love his sister as usual. Why should others talk about their Zhou family's affairs?

With this idea in mind, Lord Zhou kept waiting after returning from court.

He waited and waited, but when he didn't wait, he was afraid that something went wrong.

He asked every now and then: "Will the Marquis' Mansion not let her go?"

Although the divorce sounded like a peaceful breakup, how could the Zhou family not be angry that Master Ji married their girl but didn't treat her well.

If they really wanted a divorce, they should have let her go before.

Now Sanniang is not young anymore, and she has helped him to raise those illegitimate children.

Master Ji must have felt that she was no longer useful, so he agreed to the divorce.

Although Sanniang wanted to divorce, it did not prevent the Zhou family from hating Master Ji who was unworthy of him.

Now that they realize that the other party may not let her go, they have to scold her.

Anyway, they have to scold their daughter.

"Are they not letting the children go? It's so shameless. Aren't the two children taken care of by my sister when they are so old? That guy only knows how to spend money outside, how can he have the face to have children? He already has a wife at home, but he wants to take a concubine. Bah! He is so lustful and shameless!"

"Cough cough cough..."

Mrs. Zhou, who was also sitting and waiting, coughed a few times.

Lord Zhou then remembered that his own father also had two concubines. He froze and quickly changed the subject: "I have asked someone to clean up the courtyard where my sister and Changyan and Changze will live. The list is here. Father and mother can take a look and see if there are any more things to buy."

After taking out the list from his sleeve and respectfully handing it to the two elders, he stood aside and waited.

Lord Zhou and the old lady went through it and didn't find any problems.

The old lady said: "The courtyard is big? Changyan and Changze are about to get married, and a small courtyard won't do."

Lord Zhou smiled confidently. He has always been steady in doing things. How could he not consider this aspect?

"Don't worry, mother, my son thought of this when he was choosing. The large courtyard he specially chose can definitely accommodate them."

After saying this confidently, the servant who grew up with Lord Zhou and was sent by him to guard the door came in trotting and said: "The third lady is back with the young masters."

Lord Zhou didn't care about the title of "young masters".

Aren't Changze and Changyan young masters?

"Quick! Please come in!"

The servant looked at his master hesitantly: "Sir, there are a lot of young masters..."

Sir Zhou was a little unresponsive for a while.

What does "a lot" mean? Can there be more young masters?

"Did Sanniang bring back other bastards?"

The servant nodded hesitantly.

The old lady above smiled at once.

"Okay, okay, that means our Sanniang is a good mistress, otherwise why would the bastards be willing to come back with her? Okay, welcome the young masters in."

All the Zhou family members were smiling.

The fact that Zhou Sanniang could bring back the bastards showed that she was not the one at fault in this divorce.

If she was not good to the bastards, why would the bastards be willing to come back with her.

Round it off.

If Master Ji was good enough, why would his biological children be willing to follow their stepmother.

These extra bastards were definitely a surprise.

A big surprise.

With an inexplicable sense of pride that "my daughter/sister/sister-in-law is amazing, she can bring back a bastard as a surprise after a divorce", the Zhou family was very relaxed.

Then they watched the servants lead in one, two, three, four... eleven, twelve... twenty-one young men.

Zhou family: "..."

They all stared blankly at the crowd of twenty or so young men in front of them, almost filling the entire hall.

Ji Changze stood at the front and knelt down very quickly: "Junior generation greets grandparents, uncle and aunt."

As soon as he knelt down, the remaining bastards immediately knelt down as if they had found a backbone.

"Junior generation greets grandparents, uncle and aunt."

Even Mr. Zhou was stunned by the scene of so many grandchildren appearing all of a sudden.

Mrs. Zhou was also stunned for a long time, looking at the crowd of young men in front of her with disbelief.

She knew that her sister-in-law was very respected in the Marquis' Mansion, and the concubines were scrambling to please her.

But she didn't expect that her sister-in-law could bring back so many illegitimate sons after the divorce.

Not only did she not expect it, the rest of the Zhou family members were also in a daze.

The first reaction of Mr. Zhou was that it was terrible, the house was not enough.

Then they learned from Ji Changze that Madam Ji not only took away the illegitimate sons, but also the illegitimate daughters.

The most outrageous thing was that the concubines also voluntarily followed her.

Ji Changze's tone was flat, as if he was talking about the most normal thing in the world: "Mother and the aunts decided to practice with their hair untied. The eldest brother and grandson have some property outside, so they chose a garden for mother to practice. Mother's side has not settled down yet, so let the grandson take the brothers to pay homage to the elders first."

"After that, we will also go to another garden to study and prepare for the imperial examination next year."

The Zhou family: "..."

They couldn't believe their ears.

"Sanniang took the concubines with her?"

"Yes, maybe when they were living together in the mansion, the concubines admired mother a little. When they heard that mother was leaving the mansion, they begged mother to take them with them. Mother was also soft-hearted and couldn't bear to see them so sad, so she took them away with her."

The Zhou family: "..."

Good guy.

How cruel must Master Ji be to make his concubines prefer to follow the mistress instead of him.

Mrs. Zhou was stunned for a long time before she regained her ability to speak from the shock. She asked in a daze: "Then, then your mother and the others have no one to take care of them in the yard, why don't I send some maids to serve them?"

Even if she was practicing with her hair untied, the Zhou family would never let their daughter cook and wash clothes alone.

Ji Changze had expected this, otherwise he would not have urged Zhou Sanniang to take all the maids away.

He replied: "The servants who served mother, the concubines, and brothers and sisters were willing to go with us, so mother took them with her."

"There are people taking care of both courtyards, so aunt, don't worry."

The Zhou family members said again: "..."

Even the servants left.

This is not a divorce.

This is basically moving away the entire mansion.

The people who moved are still nominally Mr. Ji's people.

The key is that these people are particularly willing to follow Zhou Sanniang.

If this gets out, Mr. Ji's reputation will be ruined.

Since they learned that the girl wanted to divorce, the hatred for Mr. Ji and the grief and indignation towards the mansion in their hearts disappeared all of a sudden.

In the past, they thought that it was Mr. Ji who stabbed their Sanniang, so they should be angry.

But now it seems that it is not Mr. Ji who stabbed Zhou Sanniang, but Zhou Sanniang almost cut him into pieces.

The corners of Lord Zhou's mouth curled up and then tried to hide it: "Ahem... then... is your father willing?"

"The concubines want to keep their hair untied and practice Buddhism, and the brothers and sisters also want to be of the same lineage as the eldest brother. The servants were bought back by my mother. My father doesn't want to, so there is no problem."

Ji Changze almost said that Master Ji was so angry that he couldn't do anything about them.

Lord Zhou almost laughed out loud.

"That's really happy... no, it makes people sympathize."

Old Lord Zhou thought more clearly.

Although it's very satisfying to do this, it's not a small amount to support concubines, servants, and illegitimate children.

"Your mother just came out, I'm afraid she doesn't have enough money. When you go back later, please bring some silver to your mother."

Ji Changze shook his head: "Grandfather doesn't need to take silver. The properties that my elder brother and I have outside are enough. When we brothers pass the imperial examinations next year and have a salary, we will have more room."

"As for the sisters' dowries, the concubines have their own money and can do some embroidery. Mother doesn't have to worry about it."

To put it bluntly, even in the Marquis' Mansion, those concubines who are not valued by Master Ji don't have much dowry when they get married.

On the contrary, after leaving the Marquis' Mansion, some of those concubines can do needlework, some can do accounting, and some can copy books. Without Master Ji's support, it is naturally difficult for them to make a lot of money, but if they want to earn a dowry from an ordinary family, they can still do it.

It's better than being married to an old man in his forties or fifties by Master Ji.

As for these concubines.

Ji Changyan has been building rooms according to the drawings given by Ji Changze, one room for each person, and they study regularly every day, study for six days and rest for one day, and when the foundation is laid, they will all be sent to the academy to study.

In the past, it was Ji Changze's job to win people's hearts, but this time with Ji Changyan, he can finally have some free time.

Ji Changyan is ruthless and thoughtful, but the good news is that he can give everything to the people he cares about and pave the way for them.

For these half-brothers, the bad news is that this eldest brother currently only cares about his mother and Ji Changze.

These weak-tempered half-brothers will naturally have a bright future in this life if they fall into his hands, but at the same time, they will only follow the eldest brother's lead for the rest of their lives.

Of course, Ji Changyan will not be idle and throw his younger brothers out to feed the wolves. Anyway, it is better to be under Ji Changyan than to follow Master Ji and be a useless person for a lifetime.

As Ji Changze was the younger brother that Ji Changyan regarded as a relative, he didn't have to work hard. Ji Changyan would make all kinds of plans to pave the way for this younger brother, so that he could walk on a road of stardom without suffering.

He lay very comfortably.

"Today, the younger generation brought the brothers to pay respects. When the mother's side is ready, I will bring the sisters to see the elders."

The Zhou family was stunned.

Not only did they suddenly have 21 more male younger generations, but they were also about to have more than a dozen female younger generations.

Master Ji is quite fertile.

The wrinkles on the faces of Mr. Zhou and the old lady, who were originally full of worries, were full of smiles.

So what if the bastard who treated their daughter badly was the eldest son of the Marquis's Mansion? He gave birth to a lot of children, and in the end, they all became cheap for their Zhou family.

And not to mention that they were nominally their children, they were all grown up, and they didn't have to spend money to raise them.

And if they took away concubines, illegitimate sons and daughters, and even servants, others would not say that those people were crazy to follow the mistress who had nothing to do with them.

They would only say that Zhou's third daughter is kind, sincere, and gentle. Anyway, all the good words would be heaped on her.

Otherwise, why would those people follow her?

It's because she is so good!

Master Ji is completely the opposite.

Why don't his concubines and children want him?

As the eldest son of the Marquis's mansion, it's better to stay in the Marquis's mansion than to follow the mistress.

But they all stayed.

What does this show?

It shows that he is too rubbish!

So rubbish that even his concubines and children can't stand it.

In addition, his reputation was not good to begin with, and this incident covered it up again.

Isn't it going to be a bad reputation?

Old Master Zhou laughed with his teeth gapped.

It's good to be bad.

It's good to be bad.

The worse the reputation of that guy, the better the reputation of their third daughter, and the happier their life will be.

If things continue like this, this time the divorce of the third daughter will not only not damage her reputation, but will also improve her reputation.

In the future, people will invite her to flower viewing and banquets. Such a lively girl will not be boring in the future.

Lord Zhou didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

In his impression, his sister is a very gentle person. She doesn't know how to get angry when others are mean to her.

Therefore, when he knew that she wanted to divorce, Lord Zhou's mind was full of how Master Ji bullied his sister, and Sanniang couldn't bear it anymore.

He was very distressed, and his heart was throbbing, but he couldn't do anything for his reputation. If he really beat this former brother-in-law, his sister's reputation would be ruined.

Now he found that something seemed wrong.

The divorce was not that his sister was bullied by Master Ji.

But she beat Master Ji.

She forced the other party out of the house by herself.

For a while, Lord Zhou was happy and confused.

Why didn't he find out before his sister got married that Sanniang was actually a wolf killer.

The news spread quickly in the capital.

Whenever someone asks Mr. Zhou, he can always think of the grand scene of a bunch of nephews coming to pay their respects.

He actually has a bit of a dreamy feeling, but in front of outsiders, he still has to be slightly proud and humble:

"That's right, those children also went to my house to pay their respects, and they all respectfully called me uncle. They all look like good children who know etiquette."

The children are good, and the father they abandoned is naturally a loser.

The colleagues got this point very well, and after chatting for a few more words, they went to spread gossip everywhere.

It's no exaggeration to say that the whole capital was shocked by the big news of "husband and wife divorced, concubines and illegitimate children voluntarily followed the wife".

Now when talking about gossip, it's embarrassing not to make a few moral criticisms of Master Ji and yearn for what Zhou Sanniang should be like.

When talking about Master Ji, they all say: "Ah, he is the one whose wife divorced him, and whose concubines and illegitimate children would rather follow his wife than him. I heard that his eldest son has formed a branch with his illegitimate brothers."

"He, I know him. His wife is indeed a good woman, but he is not. His character is too bad."

When he woke up, Master Ji was criticized by everyone outside: "..."

He couldn't believe that those people outside were criticizing him so mindlessly. Overnight, it seemed that the whole world stood against him.

No, that's not right. He is still the eldest son of the Marquis's Mansion, the future Marquis's Mansion, and he is not the one who was abandoned.

Then Master Ji learned that the old Marquis had hurriedly selected a concubine who was big and fertile, and carried her into the mansion without waiting for a day.

After the concubine entered the house, the old Marquis had been in the concubine's room and had never come out.

According to him, he would try hard to have a second child to inherit the Marquis's Mansion.

This is commonly known as the big one is useless, and the small one comes again.

Master Ji: "..."

This time he was really abandoned by the whole world. , Lily free fastest update no anti-theft no anti-theft.
