348:Civil Strife (4000 words)
(Corrected 30 minutes after typo)
In the next few days, Xiao Ziyu seemed extremely busy.
Perhaps because of the initial deterrent effect, many people chose to obey.
In private, there were also people who complained to Steward Han, and Steward Han looked like he was doing the right thing, which also made them understand that Xiao Ziyu was indeed in power in the Xiao family's inner house.
There are also people who rely on the old and sell the old, and even want to use the idea of visiting the sick to say to Bai Congjian that Xiao Ziyu is not.
At first, Bai Congjian would meet with a few elders, but in the end he simply refused.
It is said that the elder who went to see Bai Congjian was finally sent directly to Jingzhou without staying in the capital.
Now everyone understands that the heart of the Bai family master is actually biased!
The most surprising thing is that the handover of Baiqing's shops is very fast.
Bai Qing seemed to be running away from this home, and he couldn't wait to return all his things to the Bai family, and finally left empty-handed.
It was not Chen Sheng who took over the Baiqing shop, but Hailou.
Xiao Ziyu thinks that today's Chen Sheng still needs to be sharpened.
Bai Congjian has not yet completely had an accident, and the Xiao family's inner house has gone from a chaotic state to the point that everyone has become cautious, and they no longer dare to have the intention of making trouble from it.
Just yesterday, Xiao Ziyu took back all the things in the hands of a shopkeeper.
This time, she went even further.
Not only did he want the shopkeeper to return all the silver he had taken from the Bai family in the past, but he also drove him out of the Bai family directly, and sent a message saying that no one from the Bai family would be allowed to take him in in the future.
Her attitude is resolute and unrelenting.
"Fighting rice to raise grace, bearing rice to raise hatred. The Bai family has never treated you badly, but how did you do it?" Xiao Ziyu looked at the kneeling person on the ground, and his words were not polite at all, "Don't think that I am blind and can't see anything! In the future, if someone dares to be the same as him again, then I will treat it like this!"
"No one is an exception!"
Now, Xiao Ziyu's reputation is even worse.
In the dead of night, Steward Han mentioned this matter to Bai Congjian again, "Mrs. seems to be too impulsive, she is dealing with Bai Wen!"
"Yan Yan is not to blame for this. Bai Congjian still looked protective, "He not only greedy for silver, but also ruined the reputation of the Bai family, and even bullied those folk girls outside under the name of the Bai family, which is indeed not good for us!"
The one who was punished by Xiao Ziyu was once given a name by Bai Xiru, and his surname was Bai Wen with the Bai family.
That's a great favor for that.
Bai Xiru would be grateful to him, but also because he risked his life to find a medicinal herb in the mountains that could alleviate Bai Congjian's condition.
In the past, Bai Xiru also gave him a lot of gold and silver, which was also considered a favor. But this person wanted to stay in the Bai family, and Bai Xiru didn't drive him away.
Not anyone can be fooled when faced with huge gold and silver.
Baiwen is no exception!
He got a new name in Bai Xiru, and he began to really regard himself as a member of the Bai family. At first, when Bai Xiru and Princess Danyang were still there, he was quite cautious in handling things, and he didn't dare to offend in the slightest. But after Bai Xiru and Princess Danyang died, he gradually changed.
Bai Wen believes that a sick man like Bai Congjian will definitely not be able to support the Bai family.
So, I have done a lot of things privately over the years.
Xiao Ziyu drove Bai Wen out of the Bai family, also because he found out that Bai Wen was actually doing something similar to Emperor Yuan Ding in private.
Xiao Ziyu will be so angry!
"But Bai Wen has that mouth!" Steward Han was a little worried, "I'm afraid that I will slander my wife after I go out!"
Bai Wen has been out for so many years, and he naturally knows some powerful people around him, and it is normal for him to slander Xiao Ziyu.
Bai Congjian smiled lightly, "Isn't it good if he can't open his mouth?"
Steward Han was surprised, "Master, what are you?"
"Yan Yan's hand is still too light, she is kind-hearted after all!" Bai Congjian looked elegant, but her words were with a hint of murder, "Although Bai Wen has heard of those things, I haven't checked them! I think that the medicine he sent in the past was really good for me, so I had selfish intentions! Now, everything has been investigated, and he has indeed done something hurtful, so he should be punished!"
"Since he thinks those children are cheap, then he should also try to be bullied!"
"Bai Wen can't read, just ask for his tongue!"
"This kind of person, you don't need to do it, someone will take his life!"
A person who can't write, after he can't speak, how can he release rumors.
Steward Han understood what Bai Congjian meant, and he hesitated a little, "But the young master...... After all, he is a vain smell, a person who was grateful to the old man in the past!"
"In the past, my father would pay a lot of money for medicine for my body. Bai Congjian said, "His father gave him double the amount of silver and took him in." Conscience, my Bai family has nothing to do badly to him. ”
"If you are in Huangquan in the future, if your father blames me, I will bear everything!"
"Yanyan is doing a great job!"
Steward Han sighed secretly in his heart, he knew that he would come to ask the result, Bai Congjian's heart was biased!
When Steward Han came out of Bai Congjian's courtyard, he happened to meet Xiao Ziyu who was walking over with a decoction.
"Madam!" Steward Han saluted.
Xiao Ziyu didn't notice the abnormality of Steward Han at all, and the anger in her eyebrows dissipated at this time, pure like a fairy who came out of the moon.
She asked, "Did you sleep?"
"No!" replied Steward Han.
Xiao Ziyu nodded, "Okay!"
She didn't continue to talk to Steward Han, but turned around and went into the house.
Xiao Ziyu is still the same as before, he has never complained to Bai Congjian about the chaos in the Bai family's inner house, just talking some gossip.
When Steward Han went in again, he saw Xiao Ziyu carefully feeding Bai Congjian medicine.
Through the weak candlelight, he could clearly see the worry in Xiao Ziyu's eyes and the bruises under his eyes.
It's obviously a girl, but it looks like it's old and tortured by exhaustion.
Steward Han sighed and quietly withdrew.
He found the twelve, explaining what Bai Congjian meant.
Twelve nodded and disappeared into the night.
After that, in just three days, Xiao Ziyu heard about Bai Wen again from Hailou's mouth.
Hailou said, "Bai Wen was collected for debts, and the people in the gambling house cut his tongue and even broke his tendons." ”
Xiao Ziyu heard this, "Is it really a person from the gambling house?"
"Not necessarily!" Hai Lou thought about it seriously, "Bai Wen has offended a lot of people over the years, and it is also because the Bai family has not been held accountable that these people have not been investigated. Madam, after the news of your departure from the house was spread, some people wanted to do it!"
The Bai family cannot be easily offended in the eyes of many powerful people in the capital.
This has also led to bullying of others.
The Bai family has a big business, and Bai Congjian is busy running business in the sea, so he can't take care of everything.
Moreover, some things are hindered by the fate of his parents, and Bai Congjian has to take care of some things if he wants to take action.
Xiao Ziyu didn't care about that.
Her reputation has never been better!
Moreover, even if she attended other banquets, those people did not dare to be angry with her.
She likes these people very much, but they don't like her very much, but they look helpless about her.
"Then leave it alone. Xiao Ziyu is too lazy to be distracted by a Bai Wen, she is now bent on rectifying the evil wind in the Bai family's inner house, and this Bai Wen is said to have dealings with the Zhu family.
At this time, the Zhu family has already made a commotion.
It's just that the Zhu family still had some considerations, and he didn't dare to cry in front of Xiao Ziyu.
Hailou nodded, "I know, ma'am!"
At that time, Zhu's eyes were already red and swollen from crying in front of Bai Yu, but Bai Yu felt that Zhu was a little unreasonable.
"Bai Wen ruined the reputation of my Bai family outside, and even raised a yard of children. Bai Yu was very angry, "Those dirty things he did, in the eyes of outsiders, are the people of my Bai family, right! Brother and sister did the right thing this time, what are you wronged here? Just because the Zhu family has less business?"
Zhu shook his head, "Uncle, why did you misunderstand me again?"
"Don't tell me about those twists and turns, do you think I really don't know what you're thinking?" Bai Yu frowned, "I said, what I want to get, I won't personally destroy him." Zhu, let me tell you, if you say this to me again in the future, don't blame me for not abiding by those words of the past!"
Zhu was shocked, "Uncle, what do you mean?"
"Over the years, you have done nothing, and your uncles have long been dissatisfied with you!" Bai Yu said fiercely, "If you are like this again, it is inconvenient for me to refuse their kindness!"
The more Bai Yu thought about it, the more angry he became, and he felt that he was blind in the past to believe Bai Wen.
Now when he is out talking about business, there are people stuffing some children for him.
Those people laughed at the sarcasm, saying that these children made up for it!
He just wants to do business, and he is not a demon, how can he do these things?
Those are only eight years old!
Bai Yu picked up the teacup and threw it on the ground, and then hurriedly walked out, leaving the Zhu family stunned.
After half a salary, Zhu Shi understood Bai Yu's words.
He ...... Is he going to take a concubine?" Zhu muttered to himself.
When the two got married, Bai Yu once told her that he was not a considerate person, but he would take good care of her and not let her be sad about his affairs. Later, Bai Yu did this.
After she married into the Bai family, although she had sex with Bai Yu, her stomach did not move at all.
When she got married, someone told her that if she wanted to gain a firm foothold in the Bai family, she must have a child.
However, there is no movement in her stomach, what can she do?
The branches and leaves of the Bai family's descendants have withered, and now there is only Bai Congjian.
Bai Yu, as the person who inherits the Bai family in the future, naturally needs to have many children under his knees.
Zhu covered his eyes and began to cry again.
Bai Yu can't resist the pressure, and if Bai Yu takes a concubine in the future, he will have less time to come and see her.
At that time, what should she do?
No, it can't be like that......
Zhu thought and gritted his teeth.
It was Xiao Ziyu, a fox, who caused her to fall into such a situation, caused her to be disliked by the Zhu family, caused her to have a dispute with Bai Yu, and caused her relationship to break down.
The reason why Bai Yu wants to take a concubine now is because of Xiao Ziyu.
"You don't want me to get better!" Zhu roared, "Don't think about it!"
The Zhu family's quarrel with Bai Yu was too big, and Steward Han had heard about it somewhat.
But Steward Han didn't pay attention to it, but felt that the Zhu family was indeed too much.
In the past, when Xiao Ziyu had not yet married into the Bai family, the Zhu family had always wanted to meddle in the affairs of the inner house, and Bai Yu really wanted the Zhu family to experience, so he didn't care much about the Zhu family.
The former Zhu family was not favored in the Zhu family, and after coming to the Bai family, he began to elevate his status in the Zhu family.
The way the Zhu family is too high in their status is to take the Bai family's things to the Zhu family.
Pure elbow outward.
This time, Bai Wen, who was punished by Xiao Ziyu, also did business with the Zhu family because of the relationship between the Zhu family.
As soon as Bai Wen had an accident, the Zhu family had no interests on their side, so they naturally had to complain to the Zhu family. Zhu felt that Xiao Ziyu must be targeting himself, and he didn't want to think about what Bai Wen had done over the years.
"Leave her alone!" Steward Han showed a disgusted look, "Uncle has not been confused all these years, how could he marry such a person!"
Thirteen echoed, "But, the eldest lady went to find agarwood!"
"What is she going to do with Agarwood?" Steward Han frowned, "What is she going to make trouble again!"
Thirteen shook his head.
Steward Han sighed, "Don't let Agarwood go to see Mrs., otherwise there will be a lot of trouble!"
However, although Steward Han said this, Agarwood still saw Xiao Ziyu.
"Madam!" Agarwood leaned over and saluted, "I've seen Mrs., Mrs. is blessed!"
Xiao Ziyu raised his eyebrows and looked at the girl in front of him, with a little doubt in his eyes.
The woman in front of her is exquisitely clear, like a dazzling crystal in the night. And the dress is not tacky, it is not something precious that must be worn on the body.
Such a girl, standing in the crowd, will also be seen at a glance.
It is indeed good-looking and slim.
"Get up!" Xiao Ziyu was puzzled, holding his chin with both hands, "Are you?"
Agarwood didn't seem surprised at all that Xiao Ziyu didn't know herself, she replied with a smile, "The slave is Agarwood, and she has taken care of the master since she was a child." ”
At this time, Xiao Ziyu finally understood who Agarwood was.
She was so busy that she forgot what had happened.
In her previous life, she had also heard people say that Bai Congjian had a personal maid by his side who had served him for many years.
This maid's mother is Bai Xiru's nurse, and this maid can be said to have grown up with Bai Congjian, and she is a childhood sweetheart.
However, she had never seen this maid at that time, and she felt that it was nothing more than these people who said it to fool her, so she didn't pay attention to it.
In fact, she also has a lot of trust in Bai Congjian, so she is reluctant to doubt Bai Congjian.
But when the agarwood appeared in front of her eyes today, she smiled bitterly.
It turned out that what she had heard before was true.
"You came to see me, do you have anything to say to me?" Xiao Ziyu didn't want to ask, how did Agarwood appear in the study, she was just curious about the purpose of Agarwood coming here.
Because the girl in front of her did not have the disappointing aura of the Zhu family.
It's really weird!
It's obviously not a good person!
