412 Asking for debts
Old Madam Liu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in her heart, and when she faced the Wu family, her face softened a little.
"Min Xuan, you have been married into the Zheng Guo Mansion for so many years, how do I treat you with Grandpa Guo, you should know that we have ever treated you badly?"
"You have to think about what I just said, and weigh it yourself. ”
After finishing speaking, Mrs. Liu turned her head and said to Mama Jin who was guarding the door: "Send Mrs. back to rest, and order someone to take some ointment and apply a compress on Mrs. Face." ”
When Mama Jin heard this, she stepped forward and saw the look that Mrs. Liu gave her, so she understood what Mrs. Liu meant.
She supported the Wu family, retreated from the courtyard of the old lady Liu, and only after walking to the outside room did she gently persuade: "Madam, the old lady is also for the good of our country's mansion, and the old lady Wu is a wise person, and he will not embarrass the old lady for that Wu Xing, and the old lady's words are just angry words." ”
"Madame, don't take it to heart, the old lady and the grandfather of the country remember Madame after all, now the son has not returned to the house, and the outside is so chaotic, why don't you think about the matter of the son?"
Mama Jin whispered to persuade the Wu family, and at the same time helped her to send her back to her yard from the corridor on the side.
After waiting for the Wu family to leave, Mrs. Liu's face instantly turned cold, she always felt that the Wu family was an informed and interesting person in the past, but she didn't expect that one day she would say so many things without words.
Now that the Zheng Guogong Mansion is already in trouble, it is almost stormy, and if the Wu family's words are spread again, it will be even worse.
Old Madam Liu's eyes crossed with killing intent, and she was looked at by Wen Zhenghong next to her.
Wen Zhenghong's heart trembled, how did he not understand his mother, although he was not his biological mother and son, but he had already experienced the ruthlessness of Old Madam Liu.
Wen Zhenghong has true feelings for the Wu family, the husband and wife have been in love with each other over the years, the Wu family has never made any fault in the mansion, and called the mother's family to help him wholeheartedly, seeing that Mrs. Liu actually had murderous intentions towards the Wu family, he hurriedly whispered: "Mother, the matter is that Min Xuan is wrong, but she is facing us, I will teach her a good lesson when I go back, and I will not let her do such a foolish thing today." ”
Old Madam Liu couldn't hear that Wen Zhenghong was interceding for the Wu family, she turned her head to look at Wen Zhenghong for a long time, and only said slowly after a while: "You should know, what is the embankment of a thousand miles destroyed in the anthill, which makes people look favorably on the Wu family, if she is told to say something that should not be said, don't blame me for being ruthless when the time comes." ”
The son understands that the son will definitely make people look favorably on the Wu family and will no longer call her gibberish. ”
Old Madam Liu listened to Wen Zhenghong's assurance, and snorted coldly, she was about to ask the people in the mansion if they had found Wen Luxian's whereabouts, but out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly saw a figure standing outside the courtyard, Old Madam Liu's eyelids twitched, and she suddenly said loudly: "What kind of person is standing there sneakily?!"
Wen Zhenghong was startled, looked outside, and saw a pale girl with a double bun coming out from behind the bushes, the maid was startled by Mrs. Liu's fierce drink, and was almost on the same hand and foot, and almost fell to the ground when she came out from behind the bushes.
Old Madam Liu walked over quickly, looking at the maid with a look of danger in her eyes.
The maid didn't know why, and said in a trembling voice: "Old, old lady......"
"Which yard are you a girl, what are you doing here?"
Old Madam Liu asked sharply, her eyes were like knives and she looked at the maid without blinking for a moment.
The little maid was stunned for a moment, and let out a somewhat confused "ah", seeing the angry appearance of Mrs. Liu's face, she quickly knelt on the ground with a "poof" and said urgently: "Slave, slave and maid are the rough maid Hong'er in the outer courtyard, and she is the grandfather who came to seek the country on the orders of the housekeeper." ”
"Since you're here, why hide there and sneak around and don't come in?!"
The maid opened her mouth, and after being asked by the old lady Liu, she was a little frightened and whispered: "As soon as the slave maid arrived outside, she saw the old lady and the lady...... The slave didn't dare to come in... I'm afraid of colliding with the nobles..."
Old Madam Liu saw that although the little maid's face was so frightened that her face was bloodless, but there was still a hot energy on her body that seemed to be after a rapid run, and in the not yet hot weather, the tip of the little maid's nose was covered with a layer of fine sweat, and there was some uneven breath between her words, as if she had really just arrived.
And Hong'er's words are reasonable, if she really saw the scene where she beat the Wu family, it is indeed not impossible not to dare to come in.
Old Madam Liu still had a little coolness in her eyes, as if she had already believed her words, and frowned: "What did the housekeeper ask you to do when you came to Grandpa Guo?"
Hong'er seemed to come back to her senses, remembering what happened before she came just now, and said hurriedly with a little panic on her face: "No, it's not good, Grandpa Guo, old lady, someone from Xiangwang's Mansion is here!"
Old Madam Liu's face tightened, and Wen Zhenghong next to her had already said in a deep voice: "What are they doing here?!"
King Xiang, now when he hears the word King Xiang, he is angry.
If it weren't for Xiao Minyuan, how could Wen Luxian have a mansion and not return, if it weren't for Xiao Minyuan's appearance of being related to them everywhere, how could Emperor Yongzhen suddenly suspect that the Zhengguo Mansion was intentionally involved in the prince's seizure of the heir, and suppressed them again, and if he hadn't messed up his mind one after another, how could he send someone to intercept and kill Wu Xing rashly and cause such a big trouble?!
He hasn't gone to Xiao Minyuan's trouble yet, he Xiangwang Mansion still dares to come, is he really so easy to bully when he Zheng Guogong's Mansion is here?!
Hong'er listened to Wen Zhenghong's words, looked up at a few people, and didn't dare to reply for a while.
Wen Zhenghong said angrily: "What do you see, let me ask you, what are the people from Xiangwangfu doing?!"
Hong'er was startled and stammered, "They said... They said that Gongzi owed the king of Xiang's silver, and also deceived the maidservants of the king's mansion, and they came to ask for the debt on behalf of the king......"
"What did you say!?"
"If you want a debt, what kind of debt do you want, when did our Zheng Guogong Mansion owe him any debt?"
The two asked almost at the same time.
Hong'er said in a low voice: "Those people said that it was the silver that King Xiang ransomed for his son..."
Wen Zhenghong and Mrs. Liu almost stumbled, they thought about it for a long time, and thought of countless possibilities, but they didn't expect that the people from Xiangwang's Mansion actually came to ask for debts, and they forgot the 40,000 taels of silver at the beginning.
Both of them chuckled in their hearts, and when they hurried to the front yard, they saw a group of people gathered in front of Zheng Guogong's mansion.
There were no less than a dozen people from the Xiangwang Mansion, and they surrounded the person who was the leader in front of the door, and the subordinates of the Zheng Guogong Mansion seemed to have an argument with them, and they all blocked in front of those people with angry faces.
