Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

Chapter 1709 The Country Girl Looked Down Upon 30
As for Madam Li asking Madam Chen for money... she had never asked Madam Chen directly before, but only received it from Master Li. Now, if she were to ask Madam Chen for money to support her son, Madam Chen would give the money to Master Li, but it was not certain that she would give the money to Madam Chen. After all, she had taken Madam Chen's position, and Madam Chen must hate her to death. She felt that the chances of getting the money from Madam Chen were very small.

Moreover, she's currently in the Prince's mansion, with Li Yu's wife looking after her, and her eldest daughter seems to be becoming more and more capable. If she hears about this, she'll probably stop her. How could she possibly get her hands on it?

Because she couldn't get any extra money, Mrs. Li's life became quite difficult.

This is also one of the reasons why Linlang wants to bring down Master Li Si, because she also wants to deal with Madam Li Si at the same time. She doesn't know how to deal with her, but just one thing: to make sure that she can no longer indirectly get money from Madam Chen.

Therefore, Linlang's downfall of Master Li was a multi-pronged approach.

When Chen first saw that Master Li was in trouble, she was worried, fearing that if Master Li died, she would have no one to rely on.

Later, she found out that Master Li had gotten into trouble, and no one came to scold her anymore, nor did anyone come to ask her for money. She no longer needed to sell her estate, and she could continue to earn a living every year. Gradually, she realized that Master Li's troubles were not necessarily a bad thing.

Although she had been brainwashed by Master Li and felt that she had wronged him, so she let him scold her and ask for money, who likes to be scolded? So now that she doesn't have to be scolded anymore, who wouldn't be happy?

So, Chen's initial worry about Master Li Si quickly subsided, and she began to live a comfortable life.

Seeing that Chen was living a comfortable life while her own income had decreased and she was not living a comfortable life, Madam Li was furious. She wondered what was going on. She had only been officially recognized as the wife for a few years, and now her husband had done such a thing.

She wanted to cause trouble for Madam Chen, but she was afraid that Linlang and the others would protect Madam Chen, so she didn't take action. After all, Master Li was already in such a state. If the Prince of Ying passed away one day and they left the mansion to live their own lives, her son was still young, and her family would be an orphan and a widow. How could she dare to offend her brother's family and let them cause trouble in the future?

So, seeing Chen Shi living a comfortable life where no one scolded her or came to ask for money, Madam Li was furious, but there was nothing she could do but feel depressed.

Seeing that Li Si had been dealt with and Zhou Da's mother was living comfortably, Linlang turned her attention to Zhou Er.

After all, Master Zhou's side was planning to find someone to kill Master Zhou.

Although this attempt is unlikely to succeed, since it didn't work out in the original world either, Linlang still intends to deal with the person behind it first.

The plan to have Master Zhou kill Master Zhou was partly the work of Aunt and several others, but the person who actually killed Master Zhou this time was one of Aunt's people.

The elder sister of this former Duke married a son of a concubine from the Duke of Yingguo's family.

Don't be fooled by her air of a noble lady when she returned to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion to visit her birth mother, Aunt Wang, and even looked down on the original owner's family. In the Duke of Ying's mansion, she was anything but dignified.

This is quite normal, because she married the illegitimate son of the Duke of England, and the Duchess of England was not an easy person to deal with, never treating illegitimate sons and daughters well. Since the Duchess of England was such a person, it was naturally even more difficult for her, as the illegitimate son's wife, to make a living under her.

This is why she wanted to change her maternal family to a successor she was satisfied with. As long as the new Duke of Zhenguo in her maternal family was her man, her status in her husband's family would definitely be much higher, and the Duchess of Yingguo would not dare to do anything to her.

But besides her wanting to change the head of the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion, the Duke of Yingguo also wanted to change the head of the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion to someone he supported, so that the two families could continue to maintain a close marriage relationship, unlike now, where they are said to be related by marriage, but because the new Duke and his concubine's wife have no family affection, they are almost like strangers and cannot form a political alliance. So he naturally wanted to change the head of the mansion to someone who listens to him.

It just so happened that the concubine's wife didn't want her family to be people she had no connection with, and the Duke of Yingguo hit it off with her. Together with his aunt, they decided to get rid of the Zhou family.

Therefore, one of the masterminds behind this was the Duke of England. This is also the reason why Aunt Zhou, who was a woman in the inner quarters of the household and had little resources in her husband's family, had people on the street. These people were not her people at all, but the Duke of England's people.

So what Linlang needs to tidy up right now is the British Duke.

After all, they didn't deal with the Duke of England; they only dealt with the men he hired to help Master Zhou on the streets. In the future, he could just have new people continue to help Master Zhou, so there was no point in dealing with them directly. Therefore, they still had to start from the top.

It wouldn't be very convenient to deal with Aunt Zhou openly and honestly, because Aunt Zhou is a woman confined to the inner quarters and hasn't done anything wrong. If you want to deal with her openly and honestly, you can't find a reason. At most, you can only make her suffer a little, just like you would with Master Li.

But dealing with the British Duke was a different story.

The emperor had long disliked these nobles for their close ties, but these nobles were particularly wicked, deliberately forming alliances through marriage to gain benefits, which only made the emperor more disgusted.

Therefore, as long as the Duke of England has evidence of illegal or criminal activities and submits it to the Emperor, the Emperor will definitely deal with the Duke of England, without her having to take action herself, so that no one will associate it with her and cause her any trouble.

Soon after, just as the Duke of England and Aunt Zhou were both watching Master Zhou's travels and looking for a suitable opportunity to get rid of him, trouble struck the Duke of England's mansion itself.

It was said that the Duke of England's mansion had opened casinos and brothels in the capital, harming innocent people. The emperor was furious and stripped the Duke of England's mansion of its title and confiscated its property.

As mentioned earlier, many of the people behind the casinos and brothels in Beijing are people of great influence. The reason why the Duke of England has so many people on the streets is because they were trained in these places.

Casinos and brothels are not only where they make money, but also where they train their staff. When needed, they can extract money and manpower from these places.

However, they also knew that the imperial family would be displeased if they found out about such things, so they did these things in great secrecy. The emperor did not know that the Duke of England's mansion was doing such things before. Now that he saw that the Duke of England's mansion dared to do such things and had secretly cultivated a lot of people, what was they trying to do? Were they trying to usurp the throne?
The emperor then confiscated the Duke of England's mansion.

When the news reached the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, Aunt Wang felt as if the sky had fallen. Not long ago, she and her daughter had been complaining about how the Zhou family was so disreputable. Now, her son-in-law's family had been raided, and she would no longer have her daughter's support in the mansion. How could she not feel like the sky had fallen?
