Chapter 188 The Second Lady of Ghost Talk
Lin was having a headache and wanted to throw the blame away immediately. She pointed at Lu Fang, Cheng Su and the others and said to Fu: "Sister-in-law, you came at the right time. This is the Second Young Master Lu from the Cheng'en Mansion." Then she looked at Lu Fang and said: "Second Young Master Lu, this is my sister-in-law."

Out of consideration for his reputation, Lu Fang greeted him.

"Hello, Madam Second."

Hearing that the visitor was a man from Duke Cheng'en's mansion, Fu smiled like a flower, "Ah, ah, ah, Second Young Master Lu is also at peace, hehehe..."

Fu agreed and looked Lu Fang up and down, speaking in a friendly manner, almost reaching out to him to get close to him.

Why are they so enthusiastic? You have to know that the person in front of them is the son of a real powerful and wealthy person who they could never reach in the past!
Fu was a person who said one thing to one person and another thing to another person. She was very good at judging people by their behavior. When she thought of her own son, she looked at Lu Fang as if he were her baby. She was not only kind to him, but also tried to take advantage of him.

"Hehe, what instructions did Second Young Master Lu have for coming here today? Is there something you want us to do? Don't worry, Second Young Master, my master and my Erlang can do it. Just tell us if you have anything to do..." blah blah...

Lin couldn't bear to see Fu behave like this. As an elder, she was trying to please a younger person with no shame. She felt ashamed.

In order to interrupt, Lin pointed at Cheng Su, who had no right to speak in such a situation, and spoke.

"Okay, sister-in-law, the second young master came here today to send Liu Lang's family back home. This is a happy event. As Liu Lang's mother, you must be very happy. Don't bother with the child about the past. Be generous and don't delay. Quickly take Liu Lang's family down to settle down."

Fu was a very realistic person. Hearing this, he paused and felt reluctant.

But thinking about Lu Fang's status, he actually sent the bastard back home personally? Then thinking about the current situation of her own family, and her Erlang, Fu was such a smart man that she would even sell her ancestors for her own benefit. She quickly weighed the pros and cons and made a choice. She immediately bowed to Lin, being extremely generous.

"Hahaha, what sister-in-law said is right. The return of Liu Lang's family is a happy event, but as for settling down, it depends on your arrangements, sister-in-law."

Lin: "Haha, that's not necessary. You people from the second house, you can handle it yourselves."

"Ah~ Look at what you said, sister-in-law. She is the one who runs the household. How can I, a daughter-in-law of the second wife who doesn't take care of the chores, take over? No matter how happy I am to have my son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren return home, I can't offend you, sister-in-law. Everything should be based on you first. I believe in you. No matter how you arrange it, we in the second wife will never say no."

Lin was so angry at Fu's reckless attitude that she looked at Cheng Su inexplicably. No wonder they were a family!
After traveling through time, Li Yaoguang, who had his first direct contact with the Marquis's wife and the Second Lady, secretly watched the confrontation between the two houses. It must be said that in the original owner's impression, the Second Lady, who was mean and ungrateful, profit-seeking and opportunistic, was actually quite shrewd. She even made the seemingly powerful Marquis's wife feel secretly defeated.

Isn't it a shame?

Lin was very angry, but in front of such a "generous" second wife, and being stared at by this bully who took advantage of his power, she had no excuse to shirk her responsibilities. Her heart was bleeding with hatred, but she still had to act like the lady of the house.

Swallowing the blood, Lin looked at Mother He beside her with a frustrated look, pretended to think about it, and then gave the order.

"Since Liu Lang is from the second wife's family, he should be closer to the second wife's east courtyard, so that they can fulfill their filial duties. So, let them live in the waterside pavilion near the east courtyard. I remember there are three rooms there, which is very cool in the summer."

Mother He subconsciously reminded: "Madam, the water pavilion is where the old lady in the mansion cools off in the summer. Isn't this inappropriate?" But Fu played with her nails and smiled without saying a word.

Cheng Su couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Shuixie’s words sound nice. It’s cold in the winter and there are many mosquitoes in the summer. How could he bear to let his wife and children suffer?

Besides, that was the land prepared for the old lady. If he agreed to live in the waterside pavilion today, his reputation of fighting with his grandmother for the house would spread all over Yuhang tomorrow! Who would speak for him that he was innocent?
Cheng Su dared not to be invisible anymore: "Aunt, I'm afraid this is not appropriate. I thank you for your concern. As a junior, how dare I disturb my grandmother's peace? That would be unfilial. I hope you can take the trouble to arrange a house for me and my family. I have no other request."

Lin and Fu, who each had their own calculations in mind, both looked at each other with a twinkle in their eyes, thinking that this bastard was as clever as ever.

Li Yaoguang took this opportunity to quickly walk to the hall and greet Lin and Fu.

"Madam, Second Madam, it is a blessing to say that my daughter has found her relatives this time. This Li Qifeng is my brother, and he is a scholar. Today, my brothers and sisters are here to send my uncle and his family back home. We have no choice but to visit them. After the relatives are settled, my daughter, my brother, and my younger sister-in-law will have to settle down separately. Madam, please don't worry about where we will stay. I have bothered you a lot in the past. Yaoguang would like to thank the two elders for their concern."

Cheng Su got anxious when he heard this, and regardless of the situation, he quickly spoke out to stop her, "Sister Guang!"

Yu Meixue also hurried out from the side hall to stop it.

Li Yaoguang shook his head at the couple with a firm attitude.

At the same time, Li Qifeng, who had been watching all these clever moves coldly, felt sorry for his sister, so he quickly stood up and stood shoulder to shoulder with Li Yaoguang, bowing to Lin and Fu to express his gratitude and show his attitude.

Upon seeing this, Lin and Fu took a closer look at Li Qifeng, whom they had been ignoring. Seeing that the young man had a straight back and a noble character, and was actually a scholar, they secretly said that Li Yaoguang was so lucky to have such a cousin. However, they did not know that this cousin was not a cousin at all, but a sworn brother.

But since they are not staying here, it will be much easier. It's just a family of three, so what's hard to arrange for them?

But they were concerned that Lu Fang was still watching, and in order not to embarrass the Marquis' Mansion, one was busy sending the plague god away, while the other was busy trying to get close to him and make plans for their son, so they didn't say anything more.

Lin pretended to look carefully, and finally arranged for Cheng Su's family to live in a small side room at the east courtyard, next to the servants' quarters. There was not even a courtyard, just three rooms. Cheng Su and his wife had no complaints, but Lin was still feeling aggrieved.

Yuhang is not like Kyoto. The escape was urgent in the beginning, and most of the properties were in the north, which they had no time to deal with. Now they are all trapped in the north, and the mansion has suffered heavy losses. The Marquis is no longer the same as before, and has not been reused. The housing in Yuhang City is already in short supply, and with the arrival of the emperor, the housing is even more priceless.

Even though it was so difficult, the old man above kept shouting that he wanted to save the reputation of the mansion. How could it be easy for her, a woman? There were so many people in the mansion, and how could this three-story mansion accommodate so many people? Everyone still blamed her, but they didn't know that this was just a purchase made by selling her ancestral property and sacrificial land, and it was very cramped.

Fortunately, this bastard knows how to have fun!
The matter was settled. Seeing that Cheng Su had nothing to say, Lu Fang thought that he was an outsider and everything he did was just for The Legend of the Condor Heroes. That was enough for him, so he immediately offered to leave.
