When Beiyuan was about to go in, he pulled Xinglan Zhengzhen and whispered, "When your grandfather talks about you, don't cry, don't justify, just listen, when the daughter-in-law in the second room leaves, you can say whatever you want." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info" and patted Xinglan's hand, signaling her to rest assured.

Pushing open the door, I saw Zeng Yun kneeling on the ground and crying, the old lady sat in front of her, with a cane with a calm face, and when she saw Xinglan coming in, the crutches clattered on the floor, and scolded loudly, "You evil obstacle, don't kneel down quickly." ”

Xinglan knelt on the ground as she said, and then asked, "Grandpa, I don't know what Xinglan did wrong?"

"Look at the good deeds you have done, what has made your second aunt angry!" the old lady asked angrily.

"I... ”

"What are you! The temper at a young age is not small, compared to your mother's time, you are far worse, today let you learn what is to respect the elders, before dinner, kneel here to reflect on it, the Gongsun family has never needed useless offspring. After speaking, the old lady looked at Zeng Yun, who was kneeling and sobbing on the side, "What else do you want to say?" Zeng Yun shook his head and did not speak.

"You are an elder and she is a junior, you don't have to sue me for such a thing in the future, she has to bear the same punishment. The old lady said to Zeng Yun again, Zeng Yun still nodded and did not speak, but his heart was happy. Today, she made a fuss just to get the old lady's words, which is her purpose.

"Go ahead and get busy with you. The old lady drove people away directly, and when Zeng Yun was leaving, she glanced at Xinglan who was kneeling, she wanted to see how capable this girl from the countryside was.

Xinglan knelt in the hall, the old lady sat in the position and coughed twice, then moistened his throat with the tea next to him, and then put down and looked at Xinglan who was kneeling without speaking.

The two looked at each other, probably a cup of tea, and Xinglan couldn't help but say, "Grandpa, can I tell me what I think?"

"If it's a quibble, don't use it. "Talking about useless things doesn't change anything, and he doesn't want to hear it.

If it's really just, pale crying that he is innocent, that will only make people more disgusted, and when she first came, Mama Liu had already told herself that the old lady Gongsun didn't like that kind of person.

"The account book that the second aunt showed me is fake. Xinglan said categorically, she didn't know if the old lady would believe in herself, but she was willing to try to believe him, her brother and father.

"Uh-huh. The old lady motioned for Xinglan to continue, and did not deny it in one bite.

"I've looked at the ledger and it's done perfectly. Generally, no matter how good the account book is, there will be some small mistakes, and I calculated that last year's internal house expenses reached about 1,300 taels in just half a month of June. Isn't such a number too huge, and this is not counting the annual accounts of the Zhonggong. In this way, it is only a mansion of nearly 100 people, and the annual consumption will reach about 25,000 taels, according to my understanding, even the annual consumption of Duanwang's Mansion is not so huge. The granddaughter wants to ask her grandfather, what is the annual income of her grandson?" Xinglan watched the old lady analyze herself, she could imagine how much money Zeng Yun deducted from such an account. Only what she took could not be written down, and it needed to be apportioned to other people's heads.

The old lady didn't speak after listening, and motioned to Xinglan to continue, anyone who knows a little bit about these things can see it.

Xinglan understood the old lady's expression, what she said was not enough, what she said was what they already knew. Since this is the case, Xinglan is a little puzzled why they keep letting Zeng Yun take care of the house. She remembered that Zeng Yun's mother's family was not a powerful family, was there anything they were taboo about? Or did she just think that it was enough for everyone to turn a blind eye and live a harmonious life.

"Grandpa, why do you want me to learn to be a housekeeper?" Xinglan suddenly asked, she was a little confused now, what was their purpose!

"How are you and King Duan?" the old lady replied instead of asking, but asked Xinglan again.

Xinglan suddenly thought that twelve and thirteen were people cultivated by Gongsun Mansion, whether the old lady knew his every move, or that there were more people who knew his movements. At this moment, she felt that there was no privacy at all, and a wave of anger rose in her heart, since it was a relative, it shouldn't be monitored like an enemy, shouldn't it be more respectful!

"You don't know everything!" Xinglan said in a slightly bad tone, feeling like a fool.

"Are you complaining about me?" the old lady also heard that Xinglan's tone was wrong.

"Since grandpa already knows, why bother to ask me, it's just that my granddaughter doesn't understand, what does my relationship with Duanwang have to do with the house?"

Even if Xinglan's tone was so bad, the old lady didn't move too much, "If you want to become Princess Duan in the future, you must have this ability." "At that time, it will not only be your honor and disgrace, but the entire Gongsun family will be involved, and he can't afford to lose.

Xinglan, who originally lowered her head, raised her head sharply and looked at the old lady sitting on it, she had never thought about this question, she had never thought of becoming a princess, she clearly understood her identity and status, just being a county lord of Jianning was already a headache, not to mention whether the emperor would agree to her as a concubine. He is the prince, and he is still in the whirlpool of competition for the prince, and there is a quarter chance of becoming the emperor, even if the two of them are in love.

"Is it for me, or for the Gongsun family?" Xinglan asked coldly, she thought that the old lady would treat herself like her brother and father, but it turned out that she was just using herself as a tool to revive the Gongsun family.

"Now that you and the Gongsun family are already one, you will never be able to get rid of this sign, the stronger the mother clan, the better it will be for you. "The old lady said bluntly, he said that the descendants of the Gongsun family do not need to be useless.

The more truthful the words, the more unpleasantly they will be, Xinglan does not admit that what the old lady said is the truth, and now she will never be able to get rid of the interests of the Gongsun family, unless Gongsun Xinglan is dead.

"In that case, why don't you get rid of Zeng Yun?" Since it is for the benefit of the Gongsun family, Zeng Yun has eaten so much of the Gongsun family's money, and let her be free for so many years.

"Soon you'll understand what's going on. The old lady said meaningfully, many things are not as simple as they seem on the surface.
