Mengbao seemed to see the chaotic Dingnan Hou Mansion decades ago from the old lady's narrative.

In order to compete for the title, the two lords of the East and West Mansions refused to admit that the child in her womb was the bloodline of the Dingnan Marquis Mansion.

The concubines, who were not on good terms with the old lady, were even more downcast, saying that she didn't know what had happened during the time she had been out, and whether she had done anything that would hinder the reputation of the Hou Mansion.

Mrs. Tai, who was still alive at the time, had been ill since the old marquis's accident, and even if she had the heart to help, she couldn't do anything.

Although the old lady invited a doctor to see her and made sure that the flesh and blood in her abdomen were there before she left office, everyone in the house still didn't recognize it, saying that the old marquis was gone, even if the child was there at that time, who knew if it was his.

The old lady was so angry that she almost vomited blood, and she couldn't wait to fight with these people who didn't recognize her relatives on the spot. It was Mother Xu, who was still a personal maid at the time, who persuaded her down, saying that the more angry she was, the more she became attracted to the Tao of those people. They wish that the old lady would be angry and the child would be gone, and even if it was spread out, it would be the old lady herself who failed to keep the child, and it had nothing to do with them.

After the old lady calmed down, she also knew that she was too irrational before, and no longer came to them hard, but closed herself in her own courtyard, and said that before the court confirmed that the old marquis was dead and reappointed the new Marquis of Dingnan, she was still the clan woman in the house, and whoever murdered her would be the clan woman appointed by the court! Not to mention inheriting the title. I have to go to Dali Temple.

Although the two masters of the East and West Mansions both wished that she would die, they were also afraid that they would bear this notoriety and give each other a chance.

But if you just leave the old lady alone. When she gave birth to the child, it would be another trouble, after all, they all knew very well in their hearts that this child was the old marquis's, and he was also the rightful heir to the title.

They also thought of using all kinds of selfish methods to make the old lady slip the fetus, as long as there was no child in the womb, she would be alone in a woman's family. Even if she occupies the position of the patriarch for a while. There will be no more threats to them.

But Xu's mother guarded the yard very strictly, and she asked these subordinates who came back with the old lady to surround the yard tightly, and did not let anyone in. He even specially invited a woman who was proficient in medical skills to live in the hospital, and discussed with her that she would guard the old lady every inch before she gave birth to the child, and carefully inspect every thing and food used by the old lady.

The two masters of the East and West Mansions had thought of buying this woman, but when they knew it, the woman had already entered the old lady's courtyard, and they couldn't reach it at all, even if they wanted to, it was too late.

In desperation, these two masters combined. simply cooperated, and sent their respective wives to break into the old lady's yard together on the pretext of visiting, so that she would "accidentally" fall or bump into it, and make the illusion of an accidental miscarriage.

Those who were guarding outside the courtyard were just subordinates in the house, no matter what they said. How dare you really stop these masters?

The two ladies went in high spirits, and they also thought that things might not go so smoothly, so they brought a lot of people with them in advance, thinking that even if they hit hard, they would knock the door open.

But what they didn't expect was that not only did this matter not go well, but also caused more than a dozen lives!

After the old lady refused their "visit" several times in the courtyard, they sent someone to knock on the door.

The attendants who guarded the courtyard did not do their duty to stop them as they thought. So it didn't take long for them to slam the door open.

But unexpectedly, at the same time as they bumped into them, those attendants who were originally guarding outside the courtyard rushed in after them, and then, without saying a word, raised their knives and slashed at those who broke into the courtyard.

The subordinates who rushed into the courtyard were killed in the blink of an eye, and the rest of the people were frightened, standing outside the courtyard or screaming or turning to run away.

The two ladies were also so frightened that they couldn't care about their husband's explanation, so they turned around and ran back.

The two old men were also shocked when they heard this, and hurriedly came to the old lady's courtyard and asked her why she killed someone.

The old lady sneered and said, "I am the sect wife of the Dingnan Hou Mansion, these subordinates are just slaves of my Hou Mansion, but they dare to forcibly break into my courtyard, what if I kill them?" ”

The two old men were very angry, saying that she was cruel and unreasonable, and she was unworthy of serving as the wife of the Hou Mansion.

The old lady smiled again: "You go and tell the court this." ”

The two old men were even more annoyed, and simply asked the subordinates to rush in and "take care" of the old lady and the subordinates around him on the grounds that the son in the old lady's womb was suspicious, so as not to mess up the bloodline of the Hou Mansion.

Although the wave of slashing just now frightened a group of subordinates, there were still bold people who thought that the two masters might inherit the title in the future, and this was a good time to show their loyalty, so they rushed in with their own martial arts.

Before the old marquis was called away by the first emperor, he was afraid that the old lady would encounter something unexpected on the way back, so all she left behind were trustworthy attendants, all of whom were superb in martial arts, otherwise she was a woman's family, if she was just with a few maids and ordinary house slaves, where could she escape the pursuit of those people.

At this moment, these subordinates who rushed in didn't know the details of these attendants, and when they saw that they were all dressed up like themselves, they thought that they were just the same family members as them, and it was not certain who would win or lose if they really started.

But who knows, as soon as they rushed into the courtyard, several archers appeared on the roof of the courtyard wall, and several feathered arrows swished off the string, each arrow went straight to the point, and in the blink of an eye, they left the lives of these subordinates in the courtyard.

The two old men outside the courtyard were so frightened that they retreated, and they didn't know if this woman would kill them all if she went crazy, so they had to invite a few respected elders in the clan to come and make decisions, accusing the old lady of secretly hiding archers and weapons in the mansion.

When several elders arrived, they saw that the courtyard door was wide open, and the bodies of the dead people were still lying in place, not moving. And when the old lady saw them coming, she knelt upright among the corpses. A tablet was held up in his hand.

Everyone was shocked, and after some inquiry, they found out that she had sent someone to pry open the door lock of the ancestral hall. The tablet of the ancestor of the Dingnan Hou Mansion was "invited".

The elders who were invited were so angry that they immediately opened their mouths to accuse and asked people to take the tablet back.

Who knew that the old lady said that whoever dared to take another step forward would crash to death on this tablet.

Although the people were not afraid of her death, they were afraid that she would die in this way.

First, I am afraid of damaging the tablet of the ancestors. I can't explain to the spirit of my ancestors in the sky.

Second, it is too unpleasant for this method of death to be passed out. It is bound to be accused of forcing the daughter-in-law of the family to death, and it is also a pregnant daughter-in-law who is pregnant and pregnant with a "posthumous son" who can inherit the title.

If the two masters have such a notoriety, I am afraid that the title of Marquis of Dingnan will be handed over to the side branch, which is not their original intention!

Everyone had to persuade her to put down the tablet first.

The old lady refused, pointing to the corpses all over the ground and telling how the lord of the East and West Mansions was ruthless and vicious, and in order to compete for the title, he actually killed a pregnant person on her, in a vain attempt to kill the heirs of the Hou Mansion. And she wanted to keep the bloodline of the Hou Mansion. As a last resort, the ancestral tablet was invited.

The two masters hurriedly explained no, they just saw her close the courtyard door for a long time and didn't show up, afraid that she would have something wrong in the courtyard, and the subordinates would take good care of her and bully her as a woman who had lost her husband and didn't report it. That's why people came in and had a look.

The old lady sneered, and said that since this was the case, she would know through the courtyard door a few greetings, why did she let people bang on the door after she clearly refused.

The two masters refused to admit that they slammed the door, but she herself agreed to let people in, but after putting them in, they went on a killing spree.

The old lady pointed to the corpses in the courtyard and said, If you really come to visit me, why are most of the people who die here are some strong men? Whose uncle would bring a group of men to visit his sister-in-law?

The two old men immediately blushed. The elders also understood what was going on.

Although they are already calculating in their hearts who should inherit the title, this kind of thing has been put in front of the wife of the deceased son with such fanfare, and it is so ugly, it is really embarrassing.

Even if some of them tacitly agreed that the title could not be given to the unborn child, they did not dare to say it blatantly, after all, according to the rules of etiquette, the posthumous son was indeed a serious heir.

The elders reprimanded the two masters, and then asked the old lady to put the tablet back to the ancestral hall first, if you encounter this kind of injustice in the future, you can solve it with them, and you don't have to use the ancestral tablet.

The old lady still refused, saying that the behavior of the two masters had made her dare not trust others anymore, and now only the ancestral tablet could protect the integrity of the son in her womb.

The elders were angry and helpless, bargained several times, and finally agreed to the old lady to write down today's events in black and white, including how the two old men sent people to break into her yard and try to mutilate her heirs in the womb, and finally let several elders sign their names before it was counted.

The two masters didn't want to leave such a handle in her hands, but the elders didn't dare to let the ancestral tablet be lost, and it was the two of them who were at fault first, so they ignored their obstruction and replaced the ancestral tablet first.

In front of the elders of the clan, the two masters did not dare to directly snatch back the paper that recorded their evil deeds, so they had to leave for the time being, waiting for future plots.

But what everyone didn't expect was that before they had time to come up with a way to deal with it, the rumored deceased old marquis returned!

When the old marquis returned to the house, he personally announced to everyone in the mansion that the old lady was pregnant with his flesh and bones, and if anyone dared to do anything to their mother and son, he would break his leg with his own hands.

The two old men of the East and West Mansions were terrified, on the one hand, they shrunk their necks to be people, and on the other hand, they were worried that the old lady would threaten them with the paper at hand in the future.

After thinking about it, they took advantage of the old marquis's departure from the mansion to send their respective wives to visit the old lady again, hoping that she could return the guilty book to them regardless of their previous suspicions.

The old lady hated these two masters and the two concubines so much that she would not easily agree, so she asked them to kneel down and slap each other for thirty, otherwise she would not give them them.

The two concubines couldn't, gritted their teeth and endured the humiliation and did what she said, but they still couldn't get the paper of guilt after they finished it.

The two were in a hurry, jumped up and pointed at the old woman's nose and scolded her for being arrogant and arrogant by relying on her identity as a clan woman.

The old lady replied to them with a smile at that time: I am arrogant and not for a day or two, do you only know today? (To be continued.) )
