After being reborn as a widow, the mistress of the Hou family remarried a powerful official

Chapter 80 A Farce

In the past few days, Ke Yiqing fell asleep listening to the second lady's screams, occasionally mixed with the old lady's cries.

Yu Jin was sympathetic at first, but then gradually became numb. She only spat when the Second Madam screamed too loudly: "This Second Master is really nothing, he even beats his wife!"

Zi Xing also had a stern face: "She is nothing compared to the Second Lady!"

When it was time to eat at noon, the second master didn't know if he was showing off a lot of authority over the second lady, but he actually came to Xiyuan to threaten her.

"Ke Yiqing, you have been married to the Marquis Mansion for three years, eating from us and using our things. If you have no conscience and refuse to save me until death, don't blame me for telling you about your affair with the traitor!"

Yu Jin turned pale when she heard this. If this matter really spreads, how will her wife deal with herself?

Aunt Xue was cruel. As soon as she heard this, she immediately put up the remaining ladder, carried the chamber pot, and poured it down.

Poor second master, he was talking loudly and had a big mouth. Unexpectedly, what he received was not fragrant rice porridge, but fishy urine!
Several others in Xiyuan burst into laughter at the moment, saying that it was Aunt Xue who had to be the one, and there were many ways to treat him.

"Hmph, the children born by that poisonous woman are just like her, they are all ungrateful! If you dare to come here again, you will no longer be a chamber pot!"

The people outside were already covered in dirty water and were about to faint, so they quickly ran away after hearing this.

Where do you dare to stay?

Just after dark at night, the second lady's shrill screams came from the inner courtyard again.

The difference is that this time it seems to be more tragic.

Yu Jin said angrily: "A really pitiful person must be hateful. Now, it is the second master who beats her every time, but the second lady keeps cursing you, madam!"

Ke Yiqing was not annoyed at all, "She is even more miserable today, why bother with her? Her own karmic retribution has just begun."

Looking at the mysterious smile on her face, Yu Jin was puzzled.

It was Zi Xing who said it when he came over to ask for bedding.

"From the sound, it seems that the little fat guy was also beaten."

All the flesh on his body was of no use, and instead turned into fists swung at his mother.

"The father and son have such strength. They have been out earning some food for a long time and have come back."

Ke Yiqing shook her head and laughed. I wonder if the second lady expected this day when she begged her to send her son to the martial arts gym?

In the evening, the nun from the eldest lady's courtyard came to pick up the meal as usual, but this time there was an extra plate.

The mama squeezed her face into the crack of the door and said with an apologetic smile: "My wife said, young madam, don't take it to heart about the rumors about the second master. Rumors should only stop with the wise."

She raised her eyebrows. Did the eldest lady mean to put pressure or show favor?
For a moment, she was a little undecided, but Yu Jin threw a piece of dried meat in angrily.

Looking at that grandma again, she was already so happy that she couldn't even see her.

"This old guy!" Yu Jin cursed in a low voice, "She's just here to beg for food. Madam, don't take it to heart."

Ke Yiqing nodded thoughtfully, feeling that something was wrong, but she was too big-hearted.

Since I can't think of it for a while, I won't think about it for the time being.

A few people were chatting here, and Aunt Xue also came in, holding needlework in her hand.

"When I first married into the Hou family, I heard that Aunt Xue had the best craftsmanship. I wonder who among us is so lucky?"

When Aunt Xue heard this, she pursed her lips and smiled, biting off the thread in her hand before saying, "I am old and useless, and I don't know many things. You have taken so much care of me, an old woman, and I really..."

She suffered too much in her early years, and by this age she was already stooped, with tears streaming down her wrinkled face.

Zi Xing, who was at the side, also had a sullen face, "Aunt Xue is making shoes for me. The ones for Madam and Sister Jin are already finished."

Ke Yiqing was still softly comforting Aunt Xue, but she was stunned when she heard this.

This girl is growing up quickly. Although she went to the cloth store to make a lot of extra clothes, she really forgot to buy her new shoes.

"It's my fault. You practice martial arts all year round, and your shoes are really not durable."

"Madam redeemed my body, buried my mother for me, and rescued my sister. Zi Xing has long since had nothing to repay." Zi Xing raised his head stubbornly, "It's just shoes, Madam, don't worry about it."

Touching the top of her soft hair, Ke Yiqing also smiled in relief, "You have been back with me for less than three months, but you seem to have grown up a lot."

Aunt Xue, who was picking up the soles of her shoes, smiled foolishly when she heard this, but her hands were curled up unnaturally.She thought it was because she was too old to bear the cold, so she ordered: "Yu Jin, cook some soup for Aunt Xue."

"Madam, have you forgotten? Our Tangbaozi is at the young lady's place."

Ke Yiqing was stunned. She had forgotten that the young lady had yellow face and white lips the day before. Fearing that it was due to the cold epidemic, several people packed Mrs. Tang in her place.

"We also need to buy some more charcoal..."

Knowing that the cold this year was extremely cold, she had secretly stocked up a lot of red charcoal in Xiyuan. Unknowingly, she had burned it all?

But now it's only November. How will Shengjing survive in the future?
Outside Xiyuan Gate, several men on guard accepted the ginger soup sent by Yujin.

"Brothers, our wife has said that I would like to trouble you to buy some red charcoal."

These people looked at each other and felt a little funny.

Yu Jin didn't understand what he meant and frowned: "What's wrong?"

"Miss Jin, have you forgotten? It rained a while ago and we bought a lot from retail investors. Where do we need to buy now?"

"That's what they said?" Ke Yiqing closed the ledger.

"Yeah, I guess the charcoal sender will arrive tomorrow!"

"Li Wei is very attentive..." She shook her head, secretly happy for her decision. If she really abandoned him, how could she find such an informed and knowledgeable subordinate in the future?

only……

She listened to the biting cold wind outside the window and knew that the charcoal fire business must be put on the agenda as soon as possible.

The charcoal sellers in Shengjing are basically retail investors. Nowadays, with such strict control over the entrance and exit of the city, retail investors may have run out of charcoal for a long time.

If there is no more charcoal, many people will freeze to death this year.

"Send a message to Li Wei and ask him how the location of his shop is going?"

Zi was fortunate to be well and nodded silently when he heard the words. When Ke Yiqing reacted again, he was no longer in Xiyuan.

It was extremely cold that night, and their charcoal fire was finished and the new batch had not been delivered yet. Ke Yiqing tossed and turned in bed.

"Yujin, Yujin?" She called softly, feeling that her hands and feet were as hard and cold as ice cubes.

After a while, Yu Jin walked in holding a lantern.

"Ma'am, what's wrong?"

"It's too cold, please add another mattress."

Finally, three more mattresses were added, which were so heavy that she couldn't breathe.

Yu Jin's face was full of hesitation: "Madam, is this possible?"

Ke Yiqing sighed, "If you can't do it, you have to do it. She just got rid of the poison and really needs to cultivate herself well."

At this moment, she rarely missed Yan Ming. Although he was a bitch, his arms were always warm. She never had insomnia when she slept with him in winter.

"Why don't you sleep with me?"

Seeing that she was too cold, Yu Jin had no choice but to agree.

But as soon as the mattress was lifted, the air-conditioning rushed in. Ke Yiqing couldn't bear it, so she shrank and lamented: "Good Yujin, please spare me."

After struggling until midnight, she fell asleep shivering, but she always felt uneasy, as if she was missing someone by her side.

Early the next morning, Yu Jin complained with two dark circles under his eyes: "If Madam misses Mr. Yan, she can go find him by herself. Why bother calling someone like me, a young girl like me!"

what?
She actually called that bitch's name in the middle of the night? !

Ke Yiqing felt that his face was not bright, but fortunately Zi Xing came out in time to save the situation.

She said: "It's very lively outside, madam, go and take a look!"
