Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

Chapter 768: Many Cheats 89
Like Aunt Han, Marquis of Xinxiang also wanted to kill his daughter. After all, she sent people to threaten him every day, and Marquis of Xinxiang had long been disgusted with Cui Er Niang.

But... what if this murder is exposed? If he kills the emperor's concubines, then his entire family will be executed, and his current wealth and glory will be gone.

Although he was annoyed by Cui Erniang now, at least he was still enjoying wealth and glory. He didn't want to lose all of this because of killing Cui Erniang.

Therefore, it would be great if there was something in this world that could kill people without them being visible. In that way, he could kill Cui Erniang without having to worry about being exposed, and then he could get rid of this trash at the same time. That would naturally be the best.

Since he didn't have this thing, he had to think carefully about Aunt Han's suggestion. After all, he couldn't sacrifice everything he had just to deal with Cui Er Niang.

So although the Marquis of Xinxiang was somewhat tempted by Aunt Han's proposal, he only said that he would consider it and did not say that he would take any immediate action.

Seeing that Marquis Xinxiang and Aunt Han were going to kill Cui Er Niang, the wife of Marquis Xinxiang was shocked. She did not expect that Cui Er Niang would force the two of them to this point and even wanted to kill Cui Er Niang. She immediately thought about how to deal with it.

Killing the emperor's concubine is a very serious matter. Once it is exposed, the entire Xinxiang Marquisate will probably be executed.

Not to mention that Xinxiang Hou and Cui Erniang are father and daughter. In ancient times, it seemed that it would not be a big deal if a father killed his daughter. But now Cui Erniang is married and is the emperor's person. It is not as simple as a father killing his daughter. It has harmed the interests of the emperor. It is impossible to let it off as easily as an ordinary father killing his daughter.

The wife of Marquis Xinxiang naturally did not want anything to happen to the Marquis Xinxiang's Mansion. After all, she only wanted to deal with the Marquis Xinxiang and did not want it to affect her and her son's future life.

Fortunately, the Marquis of Xinxiang did not agree immediately, but said that he would consider it. Obviously, the Marquis of Xinxiang really wanted to kill Cui Erniang, but he was a little afraid to do it, so he said he would consider it.

Seeing that they didn't dare to take action for the time being, the wife of the Marquis of Xinxiang felt a little relieved, but she still had to keep an eye on their situation. If the two really wanted to take action, she would have to take action. At least one of them would have to tell her son and daughter-in-law about it, and they would discuss a countermeasure.

In the end, no one knew whether it was God's will to destroy Marquis Xinxiang. Before Marquis Xinxiang decided whether to kill Cui Erniang, he got into trouble.

As mentioned before, the Marquis of Xinxiang was in a bad mood because of the troubles caused by Cui Erniang. He often lost his temper in the mansion, not only scolding Aunt Han and the Marquis of Xinxiang's wife, but also the servants.

He was at least somewhat restrained towards his masters like Aunt Han and the wife of the Marquis of Xinxiang, but he was not polite towards his servants. Whenever he thought of Cui Er Niang's threats to him, he would get angry and beat and scold the servants.

But servants are also human beings. They are all raised by their parents, and some of them are the apple of their parents' eyes. Who wouldn't feel resentful if they were beaten and scolded by him every day?

The servants would not blame Cui Erniang for her loss of favor like Aunt Han did. They thought it was Cui Erniang who was wrong. The servants would only resent the Xinxiang Marquis who beat them. They were also a little dissatisfied with Cui Erniang, but certainly not more than the Xinxiang Marquis. After all, who in this world would not be bullied outside? Oh, if they were bullied and came back to beat the servants? That must be the fault of the master.

Under normal circumstances, nothing would happen.

But the bad thing is that the Marquis of Xinxiang killed someone who should not have been killed.

It is said that on this day, the Marquis of Xinxiang asked his servant to grind ink. The servant was newly transferred to the study, and because he was new, he did not grind the ink very well and some ink splashed onto the table.

If it were any other master, he would just say a few words, and then the servant would apologize and wipe the ink off the table, and that would be it? But the Marquis of Xinxiang was in a bad mood at the moment. Seeing that the other party had splashed ink on the table, he did not let it go. Instead, he picked up a stick and hit the servant on the head.

Xinxiang Hou has been in a bad mood recently, so he always keeps a stick with him and hits people with it at any time.

He was so excited about beating the boy that he forgot that the human head is very fragile. After several blows at the head with the stick, the boy soon fell to the ground and died.

Xinxiang Hou didn't take it seriously, thinking that it was just a matter of beating someone to death. Although masters in this era could not beat servants to death at will, if servants offended their masters, they would not be held accountable even if they were beaten to death.

What's more, he is a person of such status as Xinxiang Hou, so nothing will happen.

If the Marquis of Xinxiang was a powerful official, his political enemies might have submitted memorials to impeach him, and if the emperor was in a bad mood, he might even punish him.

But the Marquis of Xinxiang was not a high-ranking official with real power, and he did not randomly take sides among the princes. Who would impeach him? So naturally, nothing would happen.

However, just because everything is fine in the court doesn’t mean that everything is really fine.

However, in ancient times, children were prone to die and difficult to raise, so this book boy was the only child raised by his parents. Moreover, he was a son that they had finally gotten in their middle age, so naturally he was the apple of their parents' eyes. If he was not their apple of their eyes, his parents would not have tried every means to transfer him to the study to do such a leisurely and prestigious job as a book boy.

But no one had thought that Xinxiang Hou would beat people frequently recently, let alone that he himself had been beaten, and even beaten to death.

Seeing their beloved son beaten to death by the Marquis of Xinxiang, the parents of the book boy were obviously devastated. The mother burst into tears, while the father was so sad that he couldn't even cry when he saw his son lying on the ground with blood all over the ground. He just stood there.

But the Marquis of Xinxiang would never take the death of a servant to heart. When he saw the two men, he didn't even apologize. Of course, it was impossible to expect a nobleman like the Marquis of Xinxiang to apologize to a servant. On the contrary, he frowned and shouted, "Why don't you get rid of them and clean up the floor? Look at what I have done here."

He thought that these two people were born in the family, so what if their sons died? Could they still rebel? If they dared to complain, he would sell them far away, to a remote place, and then they would not have the good life like the Marquis' Mansion in the capital.

But the Marquis of Xinxiang forgot that even an honest man will eventually rebound, and a common man will be so angry that blood will splatter five steps away.

The impatient words of Xinxiang Hou obviously awakened the collapsed father of the book boy.

Seeing that the Marquis of Xinxiang had beaten his only son to death and that he did not take the child's body away immediately, and that the Marquis of Xinxiang was unhappy and blamed him, the servant's father's nerves completely collapsed.

This was his only child, and he hadn't even gotten married and had children to carry on his family line, but he was beaten to death by the Marquis of Xinxiang. The Marquis then acted as if nothing had happened and told him to get rid of the person immediately without even saying an apology.

He is already old and it is impossible for him to have children, which means that he... will have no descendants and his family will be broken up.

His children are his lifelong support. Without this support, what is the point of him living in this world?
But before that... he wanted to kill Xinxiang Hou, the enemy who killed his son, and make him pay for his son's life!
