Quickly wear and change the fate of the little cannon fodder

Chapter 220 The Cannon Fodder Wife in the Ancient Time Traveling Novel 27

Originally, when the mother and daughter were talking, they had dismissed the servants, but when they saw the eldest daughter of the Marquisate running out in panic, the maids and servants went in to see the old lady, and only then did they find that the old lady had fallen to the ground unconscious.

The whole mansion was in chaos again. Some called the mansion doctor, some notified the marquis' wife. When Xia Xiaoxiao arrived at the old lady's yard, the old lady's face was already pale.

She hurried over and quietly felt her pulse. Well, the stimulation from her dear daughter made her vomit blood again, and her body functions quickly weakened and declined. She was almost exhausted, and it was estimated that she would not live for more than a week.

At this time, the court doctor came late. He felt the pulse and knew that the situation was not good. He told Xia Xiaoxiao the truth. The old lady of the Hou family was not in good health. If she was not stimulated and took care of herself safely and smoothly, she could live for another two or three years!

But now he has been greatly stimulated and vomited blood from his heart, and he is helpless! Even with the best medicine, he can only live for two or three days. She needs to arrange some things as soon as possible.

Xia Xiaoxiao didn't dare to make a decision on her own now, and quickly ordered her servants to notify all her relatives and friends, especially her clan members and the old lady's family, as they were all coming to see her off for the last time.

After all the clan relatives and uncles had arrived, Xia Xiaoxiao had no intention of helping her sister-in-law to conceal the truth. She told her everything that had happened, including the court doctor's diagnosis.

The servants who served the old lady proved that Xia Xiaoxiao did not lie. The specific things were indeed like this. As for the specific content of the conversation between the old lady and her daughter, no one knew it! Xia Xiaoxiao said that she would do her best to serve the old lady, and as for the sister-in-law, she had to ask the elders for advice.

After she finished speaking, she went in to serve the old lady, feeding her medicine, wiping her body, and changing her clothes. Even when she was incontinent, she did everything a filial daughter-in-law should do without asking anyone else. These relatives and friends nodded repeatedly, earning her a good reputation for being filial!

The relatives and family members unanimously decided to invite the eldest daughter back first, firstly to find out what happened that day, and secondly, she was the old lady's biological daughter and needed to be filial to her. If she didn't come back, she would be directly removed from the family tree, and her honor and disgrace would have nothing to do with the Marquis's Mansion from then on.

When the Marquis's Mansion sent someone to the Prince's Mansion to invite the young lady home, they also asked indirectly what happened in the Prince's Mansion yesterday. The newly married young lady returned home in an unpleasant mood, which was the culprit that directly led to the critical illness of the old lady of the Marquis.

However, the people in the Prince's Mansion either kept their mouths shut or remained silent. In the end, it was the Princess of the County who gave an explanation. She said that the third son and his daughter-in-law had a conflict and the couple had a quarrel, so the daughter-in-law hurried home.

She also expected that her daughter-in-law would not shout out the truth in a big way! After all, this was not a glorious thing. If she really told the truth, the people in the Marquis's Mansion would not ask about it indirectly.

Seeing that they couldn't find out anything, the people in the Marquis' Mansion asked the young lady to return home! They also reported that the old lady was critically ill and asked her to come back to see her for the last time, and they also showed filial piety by her bedside!

The princess of the Prince's Mansion was shocked when she heard this, and immediately ordered people to prepare a car, gifts, and medicine to visit the Marquis' Mansion! They were in the wrong after all, and they knew that the Marquis's critical illness this time was related to her son and daughter-in-law! This time they were sincere and gave their daughter-in-law enough face!

When Miss Leng returned to the Prince's Mansion, she was shocked and trembling all over. She was afraid that she would hear some bad news and that her reputation would be ruined! Then she thought about her husband's situation and that the old lady in the Marquis' Mansion would not make decisions for her in the future, so she burst into tears.

She cried for the Prince's Mansion's excessive deception and the marriage fraud that ruined her life, cried for her miserable fate, cried for the lack of successors in her parents' family, and cried for no one to support her.

Then she thought that the Prince's Mansion probably married her for this reason. What was ridiculous was that she was still complacent about marrying into a wealthy family! Now she might even be labeled as an unfilial person who angered her mother to death. Thinking of this, she was even more heartbroken and cried even louder.

At this time, someone outside the door reported that someone had come to the Marquis' Mansion, saying that the old lady was critically ill and asked her to return home. She was actually somewhat resistant in her heart, and she was even more afraid to face it. Once she returned, she would have to tell the elders of the clan what had happened.

She was also afraid that the old lady and the Marquis' Mansion would blame her. The old lady was in such a state, but she not only did not call for help in time, but also ran away. She knew that she was wrong this time. The old lady was her biological mother, but she was really too scared.

The servants who served her were also part of the Marquis's dowry. Seeing that the Third Madam had not responded, they were very puzzled! Normally, shouldn't they go back to see the old lady immediately and show filial piety by her bedside?

The people waiting outside were getting a little impatient, so they sent someone over to urge her and also conveyed the clan leader's words, saying that if she refused to return home, she would be directly removed from the family tree.

She then slowly began to pack her things, rushed to the gate of the Prince's Mansion, and returned to the Marquis' Mansion with the generous gifts prepared by the Prince's Mansion.

As soon as he arrived at the old lady's yard, he saw the pale, unconscious old lady, and immediately knelt down and cried for his mother! He also admitted his fault to the old lady and cried bitterly for a long time! Only then did he walk out of the old lady's room, and faced another three-court trial from the elders!

"Leng Yao, why did you rush back home today? What did you say to the old lady that caused her to become like this?" The clan leader spoke, and everyone's eyes fell on Leng Yao!

"I..." Leng Yao was ready to blurt out everything, but suddenly thought, if the matter got out of hand, what good and what bad would it do to her!

She quickly thought about the pros and cons of all the things and decided to talk to the elders, but she couldn't leave too many people behind. She had to leave a way out for herself, otherwise she wouldn't be able to get through this hurdle.

She looked around and begged the elders to let others step aside, and even wanted to ask Xia Xiaoxiao to step aside. But the elders stopped her, saying that the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, and there is nothing that she, the head of the mansion, cannot know. If Xia Xiaoxiao, a family member, cannot know, what qualifications do others have?

Xia Xiaoxiao had no choice but to sit down again after hearing these words. In fact, she didn't want to stay and deal with these trivial matters. Leng Yao was very depressed. She didn't think her sister-in-law would be able to help her if she knew about it. She also felt that she was inferior to her sister-in-law after she knew about these things.

She didn't think about it. Even if she married into the Prince's Mansion, it was just a nice title. She would never be the head of the Prince's Mansion. Xia Xiaoxiao was the head of the Marquis' Mansion with a son and real power. They were simply incomparable.

Leng Yao saw that most people had left, so she told the elders in the family everything. The elders were very shocked, but they also understood why Madam Hou was so shocked that she fell into a coma.

This kind of thing would be a great blow to any parent who loves their child. No matter whether the couple divorces or not, the daughter will suffer.

But no matter what, this cannot be Leng Yao's reason for not rescuing Madam Hou and running away when she saw her wife fall to the ground due to a great shock! She also said that she was afraid of being labeled as unfilial. What she did was unfilial in the first place.

Her mother was seriously ill because of what she did, but she ran back for no reason. This is not only unfilial but also immoral.

The elders were silent for a while, and then the clan leader spoke: "Since things have already happened and have come to this point, there is no point in saying more. Because the marriage fraud in the Prince's Mansion caused the old lady of the Marquis to be critically ill, justice must be sought, but Leng Yao must also be punished.

But things have to be done step by step. If Yao girl's problem is not solved first, I guess the old lady will not be at ease when she leaves. Yao girl, what do you think? Do you want to leave and return home?"

Leng Yao was silent. Divorce and return home? Never leave the mansion again? Or live in a nunnery for the rest of her life? Or marry someone else? What good family could a woman like her marry?

If she marries again, it won't be comparable to the Prince's Mansion, and it may not even be comparable to the Marquis' Mansion. It may even be worse than the current Prince's Mansion. At least the Prince's Mansion is still a good name now, and apart from this terrible thing, it is still quite comfortable at other times. If she divorces and returns home, there are only these few options, and none of them are what she wants.

But if they don't divorce, this situation is particularly disgusting. It would be fine if her husband liked women, but she has to compete for favor with men.

"Clan leader, uncles, if we get a divorce, it will definitely affect the marriages of the women in our family. I can't be so selfish and drag everyone down. But if we don't get a divorce, the Prince's Mansion is too bullying and disgusting, so I need uncles to help me get justice?"

Xia Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows, knowing that she would choose not to divorce. After all, how many women who divorce can live happily?

Then the clan leader asked her what kind of justice she wanted? After all, if they didn't divorce, she would have to live in the Prince's Mansion from now on!

Shen Yao thought about it seriously for a while, thinking about how her sister-in-law lived in the Marquis' Mansion. She estimated that her future husband would be unreliable, so she could only rely on herself, so she had to hold the property of the third room of the Prince's Mansion in her own hands. She thought so and said so. This request was not excessive, and the Prince's Mansion would definitely agree.

Afterwards, some of the women stayed at home to take care of the old lady, while some of the sharp-tongued women followed the men in the clan to the Prince's Mansion to seek justice! Xia Xiaoxiao was also fortunate to be among this group of people, exercising her rights as an elder sister-in-law like a mother, after all, the old lady was almost killed for this.

If something like this happens and no justice is sought, then the Wu'an Marquisate will no longer have a foothold in the capital, and future generations will not be able to hold their heads up.
