Chapter 153: The jade is burning, and the Hou Mansion is turned upside down
These stewards stopped at the door for a while, and Cheng's girl Lingxue told the ins and outs again, and several people knew in their hearts that after coming in, they would return to the matter.
Steward Yu of Qianzhuang said: "Master Hou, Aunt Luo questioned the purchase and sale of Madame's jade belt, and talked about it in detail. ”
The jade belt was pawned and mortgaged by an old couple, and the daughter of their family was once the concubine of a large family, and the jade belt was given to the daughter by the owner. Later, because the daughter had nothing to do, she angered the wife of the family and was expelled from her husband's house by the wife. The daughter was not in good health, and after leaving her husband's house, she fell ill, and the old parents had no money for treatment, so they planned to sell the family property, but the daughter couldn't bear to let the old parents have to work for themselves in their old age, so she took out this jade belt and asked her parents to mortgage it.
However, there are unforeseen circumstances, the old couple has just sold the jade belt, and before the medicine can be bought, the neighborhood came to report that the daughter has passed away.
Heartbroken old couple cried and rushed back, their daughter had really gone, and after burying their daughter, they thought that the jade belt was a souvenir of their daughter, and wanted to redeem it for a thought.
At the beginning, the people of Qianzhuang refused to do anything, but it happened that Cheng came to check the accounts, and they relented when they heard this. But the rules under the tree are unbreakable, so Cheng made the decision to let the shopkeeper sell it to the old couple at a price of one hundred taels, but the extra twenty taels were taken out of his own pocket.
Because it was his own money, he was still in the Fu family after filling in the vacancy, so Cheng didn't think much about it, and he didn't expect it to involve later things.
After the steward finished speaking, Fu Xingjian's brows, which had been stretched, suddenly wrinkled, and he suddenly remembered that one day when he was in the court, a bunch of old couples stopped his carriage and knelt down to thank him. At that time, he didn't ask anything in detail, and thought that his political achievements were clear and the people were moved, but now that he thinks about it, I'm afraid it's because of the Cheng family.
Aunt Luo asked reluctantly: "Even if this jade belt is reasonable, what about the others?"
This time, another steward replied: "The others are not Madame's favoritism. Master Hou, since July this year, our pawn shop and money bank have changed some rules, but all pawn and mortgage goods are classified according to the time limit, and those goods that are not suitable for storage for a long time need to be disposed of in a short time, otherwise it will be the same as before, unable to sell at a high price, and keep it at a loss. Mrs. is in charge, dividing two rules, the price of short-term futures is not the same as the price of those long-term futures, just to get rid of, so it will not be too high. ”
"For example, this ginseng was bought for 100 taels, but because the ginseng had changed color a little, it was included in the short-term products, so it was disposed of with 150 taels of silver. The steward said in an orderly manner, and turned to another page of accounts: "There are also these Shu embroidery, which are the fabric of summer clothes, and they may not be sold in the autumn, and when they reach the summer of the next year, the material may be outdated again, so the processing is also very cheap." ”
Someone else added: "Since Madame adjusted these rules, the pawnshop and the money shop have no longer backlogged goods, and their income is more than before. ”
"Not only that, because we sometimes deal with some goods at a low price, those who are inconvenient to turn around mortgaged things, and they can be redeemed soon, these months, the reputation of our pawnshop and money bank is greatly improved, many people say that pawn mortgages will only come to our house in the future. "Some people say more.
Everyone, you and I said a word, and soon made the matter clear and clear.
Hearing these words, Cheng turned her back and stopped talking, but her slightly trembling shoulders still revealed her sadness at this time.
Seeing this, Fu Xingjian couldn't help but feel guilty, and reached out to pull her: "Since this is the case, why didn't you say it before, and still said those angry words?"
He also understood that he had disappointed Cheng just now, otherwise, she would not have said unscrupulously that she had sold a few hundred taels of jade belts in the blink of an eye, enriching her own pockets.
Cheng broke free of his hand slightly, and took a step back: "Master Hou, whether I took the Fu family's money or not, it has been proved clear now." Can I go?"
"Ronghua!" Fu Xingjian couldn't help but be upset when he saw her stubborn temper coming up, and directly called Cheng's real name.
Cheng Shi Bei began: "Master Hou, you and I have been married for many years, I thought that even if you didn't have much affection for me, you could trust me more or less." Can...... The last time my aunt fell into the water, you were suspicious of me, and this time the accounts are not clear, and you doubt me again. I'm not a person like my sister, and I can't do it like water, as long as I step into the Hou Mansion in the future, I will not forget today's events. It's better to leave it like this, from now on the Hou Mansion has nothing to do with me, bother the Hou Ye to give me a letter of resignation, and it is best to break the fate of you and me!"
Fu Xingjian looked at Cheng's resolute face in a daze, his heart was so angry that he couldn't say a word.
He naturally knew who the sister in Cheng's mouth was talking about, and the old things of the past kept pouring into his head, and he suddenly became furious: "You are not a person like her, do you know what kind of person she is?"
"I never doubted what kind of person my sister was. Cheng suddenly turned his head and stared at Fu Xingjian with burning eyes: "It's you, I didn't believe her from beginning to end! It was you who forced her away with your suspicion! It was you who let those irrelevant people ruin your husband and wife fate! Fu Xingjian, don't you still understand what happened? Bai can deceive you and use you, about that incident, haven't you ever suspected that it was a trap?"
One by one, Fu Xingjian's face turned pale, he took a step back, and sat down in the chair.
Such a fierce situation made Aunt Luo confused, she quietly pulled Aunt Fangrui, and asked in a low voice, "What are they talking about?"
"Bad fate, it's all bad fate!" Aunt Fang Rui pulled the corners of her mouth indifferently: "To this day, the eldest brother really can't forget her." ”
Qu Yingying heard it in her ears, and she understood in her heart that the sister in Cheng's mouth must be Fu Rongyue's biological mother Su Juan.
It was the first time she had seen Fu Xingjian's crazy look, and she shrank a little frightened, but her cold eyes kept looking at those two people.
Fu Xingjian was forced to be at a loss by this series of rhetorical questions, his face was pale, he raised his head and glared at Cheng, and his hand was unconsciously clenched into a fist: "I only believe what I see with my eyes." ”
"That's it. Cheng Shi heard this, sighed in frustration, raised his eyes, looked at Fu Xingjian with a sad and pitying expression, and said for a long time: "Master Hou, you don't believe what you see with your eyes, in fact, from the day the Bai family was exposed, you understood what was going on in your heart." You don't want to admit it, but you're afraid to face the guilt in your heart. You're just afraid that when you think of your sister, you'll remember how cruel you treated her, how she made her discouraged, and you can't bear it in your heart. Master Hou, I really pity you!"
These words really touched Fu Xingjian's secret heart, the blue light in his eyes was loud, and the coercion emitted made none of these stewards dare to raise their heads, even Aunt Fangrui pulled Qu Yingying and quietly retreated to the corner of the room.
Fu Rongyue looked at all this coldly, and at this moment, a storm broke off in her heart.
What happened to his mother when she was in the Fu family, so that the Fu family still can't be at peace fifteen years later, and it has become a hard wound in Fu Xingjian's heart?
She's got to figure it out!
In the past, Cheng said that she didn't know, but today, she clearly knows this description! Why can't she tell herself? Is she afraid that she will take revenge on the Fu family because she has hatred in her heart? Cheng is wrong, even if there are no such things, she will take revenge!
The truth!
She can't wait to know the truth!
Fu Xingjian listened to Cheng's words, his face was even more ugly, his chest rose and fell violently, and his eyes shot straight at Cheng like a sword. The former husband and wife are like two fierce beasts facing each other at this time, and no one can give in to each other. After a long time, Fu Xingjian suddenly stood up, strode to the table, grabbed a piece of rice paper and wrote with a pen. After a while, he returned to his original position, threw the rice paper in his hand into Cheng's arms, and pointed to Qu Luochun's courtyard door: "This is the book of resignation, the door is there, get out!"
Cheng grabbed the letter of resignation, his figure faltered, and a weak smile appeared on his face that had failed miserably.
Slowly folded the letter of resignation in half and put it in her arms, she actually lifted the hem of her skirt and slowly knelt down in front of Fu Xingjian.
Cheng fell to the ground, choked in his throat, and said word by word: "Master Hou, a husband and wife for a hundred days, Ronghua is fortunate to have been a husband and wife with you for more than ten years, although you ...... That's it, after today, there is no need to mention these things, Master Hou, no matter what, although it was my sister who begged me back then, Ronghua is still grateful to you for sheltering me. ”
"After the concubine goes, I wish the Hou Ye a good life and all the best. After Cheng finished speaking, he reached his forehead with one hand, kowtowed again, and finally got up and left.
Qu Luochun was quiet inside and outside, and he was stunned by this sudden change, and no one dared to stop Cheng.
In this way, the Cheng family walked out of Qu Luochun and walked out of the Fu family.
Aunt Luo saw Cheng leave, and finally breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, although the process was different from what she thought, but fortunately, Cheng was finally driven away.
Thinking of this, she hurriedly stepped forward and patted Fu Xingjian's shoulder, and comforted her with a smile: "Master Hou, you dissipate your anger, for no reason, don't hurt yourself for this kind of person." ”
Fu Rongyue looked at it coldly from the side, and when she heard this, she showed a sneer, the meaning of ridicule was very obvious, she didn't say anything, she took her own girl and turned her head and left Qu Luochun.
This sarcastic laugh fell into Fu Xingjian's ears, he only felt extremely harsh, and Cheng's words sounded in his ears again, "You don't want to admit it, it's just that you're afraid of facing the guilt in your heart." You're just afraid that when you think of your sister, you'll remember how cruel you treated her, how she made her discouraged, and you can't bear it in your heart. "My heart felt as if I had been hit hard by something, and the pain suddenly couldn't be relieved.
At this time, Aunt Luo opened her mouth, and hit him on the muzzle of the gun, causing the wound to tear open and bleed, he pushed Aunt Luo away violently, and shouted angrily: "Shut up!"
"Ben Hou spoils you too much on weekdays, so he let you tear down my Hou Mansion!" Fu Xingjian's tone was solemn: "How did the Luo family raise such a daughter as you, you don't deserve to stay in my Zhongsu Hou Mansion!"
