: Raising troops to investigate crimes

Zhao Mingruo suppressed his nausea and said aggrievedly, "Husband, you know how important that piece of land is to me. I see it as more important than my life, but...it's just that you don't know the situation in the Hou Mansion. We

We are almost running out of money and food..."

She started sobbing as she spoke.

Ah Fu cried in unison, "Yes, Second Master, since the Hou Mansion encountered the case of King Wei's rebellion, most of the property in the house was confiscated, and most of the second wife's dowry was sold to redress the grievances between you and the Hou Mansion. In addition,

The accounting office has no money left for these years of expenses, and even next month’s monthly salary has become a problem.”

"The second lady said she wanted to sell that piece of land just for the sake of the Hou Mansion. She cried so sadly that she couldn't sleep well for several nights. But for the sake of the Hou Mansion and the Second Master, the second lady is willing to do anything, as long as the family can live in harmony.

Just have a beautiful life."

Zhao Mingruo couldn't stop crying, and said guiltily, "Husband, I'm sorry, I didn't take good care of the Hou Mansion, and I failed to live up to your expectations."

Gu Changheng was speechless.

But that apricot grove was carefully cultivated by Zhao Mingruo, and Wan Wan fell in love with it. A few days ago, the doctor came to check her pulse, and found out that Wan Wan was two months pregnant, and she still looked happy.

Lying in her arms, she said she would wait to take her unborn child to enjoy the apricot flowers and eat apricots, but now she was about to be sold.

How should he explain to Yun Suiwan and the child in her belly!

"Why is our house in such trouble..."

Gu Changheng was still unwilling to give in, "Aruo, how much money do you plan to sell the mountains and forests in the western suburbs for."

He could have just gritted his teeth and secretly collected enough money to buy the land in the western suburbs and give it to Wanwan. Anyway, Wanwan was pregnant with his child and deserved to receive this reward, so as not to worry all day about whether Zhao Mingruo would go there and find out.

Clues.

Zhao Mingruo wiped her tears and said, "I came back to my husband. Because I was in urgent need of money, I only sold it for eight thousand taels of silver. I went to the government with someone to sign a contract, and now the land belongs to someone else."

"The money from the sale is used for the Hou Mansion's household expenses."

"What! You..." Gu Changheng took a deep breath and tried hard to keep calm. He looked at Zhao Mingruo, whose eyes were slightly red and full of flowers. After all, he had no excuse to vent his temper.

He comforted absentmindedly, "Aruo, you have devoted yourself wholeheartedly to the Hou Mansion. Thank you for your hard work. I believe that the Hou Mansion will get better under your care. When the time comes, we will buy back the land in the western suburbs and give you

Buy everything you want."

Zhao Mingruo smiled and nodded, "Thank you, husband."

"I still have to go to school, so I need you to take care of things at home. My mother is not in good health, so you have to be more considerate of her. Yue'er is a little willful, but she is still young. If something offends you, you

For my sake, don’t argue with her."

Gu Changheng said these words as always, and after taking advantage of them hypocritically, he planned to leave.

But Zhao Mingruo stopped him, "Husband, you just happened to be back, otherwise I would have sent someone to find you. I have found an aunt for you, and she will be brought into the house in a few days."

Gu Changheng didn't react for a moment, "I've found an aunt...Aruo, do you want me to take a concubine?"

Zhao Mingruo said respectfully, "I have already reported it to Mingguo's mother, and she nodded."

"Even mother agreed?" Gu Changheng's expression changed.

It's not like Sui Wan's mother didn't know about Sui Wan's situation, she even nodded and agreed to Zhao Mingruo taking a concubine for him. If Sui Wan knew about it, there would definitely be a fuss. Now is the critical moment for pregnancy, so you can't do anything wrong.

Gu Changheng hasn't had time to discuss this matter with the old lady yet. Now he is anxious but dare not deny it outright.

"I know that your husband's first priority is to study and become an official, and a man should also aspire to the court. However, having children is a filial duty that a son should fulfill. I am unwell and will need more than half a year to recover from my illness. I'm afraid it will be difficult in a short time.

I can’t share my husband’s worries, so I can only find someone else.”

Zhao Mingruo pressed forward step by step, and the more he spoke, the more excited he became, and he knelt down in front of Gu Changheng with a plop, "Husband, please agree to my proposal, otherwise I really have no shame in staying in the Hou Mansion, I only hope that my husband

If I write a letter of divorce on the charge of being jealous and having nothing to show for it, I will never see you again in this life."

Ah Fu also knelt down and said, "Second Master, please, agree to Second Madam's request. If you still have no heirs, it would be unfilial. Second Madam's own reputation doesn't matter, how can you, Second Master, be implicated too?"

.”

Even after asking for this, Gu Changheng still held on and said, "Aruo, this thing is so sudden. I'm not ready for it in my heart. Besides, I'm deeply in love with you. I told you

Many times, just the two of us

I am willing to be together, even if we don't have children. If anyone, mother or others, gives you a bad look, just tell me directly and I will vent your anger for you. You and I are still young, and we have no children. We are waiting for me in the future.

If we succeed in the imperial examination, we will have another child."

"Let's do this. I'll discuss it with you in detail when I come back later."

The houses in the western suburbs have sent people to notify them to move out. If they wait for those people to go back and see no movement, they will definitely kick them out by force. Suiwan's body is delicate and cannot be subjected to such stimulation.

Gu Changheng ignored Zhao Mingruo's pleas and hurried to find the old lady in the rain.

Ah Fu helped Zhao Mingruo up, "Madam, we were all blind before, but we let the second master fool us like this. When he was talking to you just now, he didn't even look at you. He kept saying that he was deeply in love with you.

Even if you kneel down, he won't come over to support you."

Zhao Mingruo frowned and looked at the misty rain outside the window.

Not long after, Qingshan came over and replied, "Madam, the second master and the old lady argued loudly for a long time and then went out together, but the rain outside was too loud to hear clearly."

"We will follow."

The carriages and horses moved forward in the rain one after another. Fortunately, the light spring rain blocked the sound and sight, and did not disturb the people in the previous carriage. They followed all the way until they stopped at the foot of the western suburbs.

"Madam, the rain is getting heavier and heavier, should we go up too?" Ah Fu worriedly held an umbrella.

Zhao Mingruo's eyes were firm, "Of course, I sold this place just because I wanted to see how miserable they were. Now that a good show is unfolding in front of us, it would be a pity not to see it."

When the two of them walked up the steps and outside the house, they heard the quarrel inside the house. The door was wide open, and they could vaguely see a dozen stout guys rolling up their sleeves and smashing things in the room.

Yun Suiwan's face turned pale, and she stopped her in panic, "You...who are you, and why are you coming to my house to cause trouble?"
