Chapter Eighty-Nine: Fang's Conspiracy
For Lan Wan Yuan, the He family only said that the two of them lived in one place, and it was a cost, and they barely covered up the matter. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The ten taels of silver deducted every month, and one hundred and twenty taels a year, all went into her own pocket.
At first, I didn't feel at ease, but later I saw that Lan Wanyuan didn't mean to come to her to ask, so I gradually put my mind at ease and felt at ease.
At this time, the old lady asked, thinking of this matter, and her heart couldn't help but feel empty.
He changed the topic and complained: "Mother, since Yuan Niang and the others came back, many people have been added to the house, and each of them will cost money. This winter is cold and long, and the harvest of the grange does not look good, so if you don't do it, you will have to put some upside down. The third master sent a letter yesterday, and he also asked for ...... silver."
When the old lady was young, her mother-in-law was in charge, and after her mother-in-law was gone, her sister-in-law Qin Huaiyu was in charge. She had a big quarrel with the old lady Qin for this, Qin Huaiyu was arrogant, impatient to fight with the old lady, and took the maid and wife to live in the Qin family's other courtyard, and the old lady wanted to return to the power of the housekeeper.
But she is not good at managing her family's finances, and in less than two years, she has made a mess of her accounts and lost a lot of money. Old lady Qin was furious, and handed over her housekeeping rights to the newly married Shen family.
The contradiction between the old lady and the Shen family has also escalated, and it is difficult for the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to get along harmoniously.
The old lady rubbed her forehead and said impatiently: "You are in charge, you have your own ideas and think of a way, what are you doing with this? ”
He was secretly happy in his heart, and said with a smile on his face: "It's me who is not good, and I let my mother worry about it." ”
When he returned to Zhiwu Courtyard, He instructed the magpie: "You go to Chen Yongcai to receive three hundred taels of silver, and say that the old lady will let you receive it." In addition, if I urge him again, I will not be able to hold the fire here, and if I don't take back the silver that was released and poke out the basket, everyone will be sad. ”
Here, Chen Yongcai allocated money to the magpie and quietly notified Mama Xu.
Mama Xu went back to discuss with Fang's family: "What do you think about this matter next?"
Fang's nails had just been dyed, and the red dankou was said to have a pair of hands as white as jade, very charming and amorous.
Fang Shi looked at his nails with satisfaction, and said, "Let him pay He Shi at one time with principal and interest according to the interest he originally said." ”
Mama Xu said: "That's a lot of money." ”
Fang said: "I can't bear the child's trap on the wolf, and I don't let her taste the sweetness, how can I get her to bet a lot? Besides, we still have a few hundred taels of silver?"
The Fang family can be regarded as the richest man in Suzhou, and they are very rich.
Mama Xu thought of the Fang family, and a smile appeared on her face: "That's right, don't say a few hundred taels, it's just a matter of a few thousand taels for us to move our little fingers." I'm worried, what if He gets the money back and stops?"
Fang sneered: "Don't worry, she is the most insatiable, and she is lazy and hardworking, this kind of good thing like silver blown by the wind, she can't be willing not to do it." What we have to do is to wait patiently, waiting for her greedy snake to get into our sleeve little by little. ”
Mama Xu deeply believes in He's temperament, and when it comes to greed, He's noble wife, who claims to be from a royal family, is a hundred times more powerful than those from their businessmen, which is extremely despicable.
A maid brought the decoction in, Fang Shi took the medicine bowl, looked at the black decoction inside and frowned: "Drink every day, drink every day, I've been drinking it for so long, why is there still no movement at all? I think that Jing Neng is also a liar!"
Mama Xu hurriedly stopped her words: "Amitabha, my good aunt, it's not good to talk nonsense." ”
Fang's eyes widened: "It's just a nun, what are you afraid of?"
Mama Xu said: "Didn't Master Jingneng say that you still have children in your life, but you don't have a chance until after autumn." You must take care of your body, otherwise your body can't stand it, and it will still be empty. You should be patient and drink medicine now, take care of your body, and it won't be long before you can make this autumn. ”
Fang's face slowed down, and he muttered, "Look at what she said, I don't know if it's true." ”
Mama Xu persuaded: "Anyway, we have no other way, just wait and see." ”
Fang Shi didn't say anything more, raised his head and drank the dry decoction, took the candied fruit from Mama Xu's hand and ate it.
"I don't know what I've been busy with lately, and I can't see anyone anymore. I finally saw each other once, and there were not a few gentle words, so if it goes on like this, let alone the child, I am about to be forgotten. ”
Fang asked Qin E again: "Did you get anything?"
Mama Xu told the news again. "The people in Lan Wanyuan are very strict, and they still inquired about it from Zhiwu Yuan. ”
Fang snorted coldly: "This little slut has a lot of ability, he went to King Chun's Mansion and actually won the favor of the princess and the county lord." ”
"Auntie, I never understand, why did you go around in such a big circle and pull the He family into the water if you want to deal with Qin E?"
Fang Shi frowned and said, "You don't understand, I have my own plans." ”
Mama Xu was silent.
Fang Shi looked up and saw it, his heart softened, and he sighed and explained: "You only see that she is down now, but don't forget, her mother is Shen! When there was an accident in the Shen Mansion, she was alone, and she was caught off guard and rushed to Liaodong Mansion. But her dowry is still in the Qin Mansion. ”
"There were originally three copies of the dowry list, one for herself, one for the Qin Mansion, and one for the Shen Mansion. The Shen Mansion is gone, and the list is gone. That year, Shen left in a hurry, her share of the list went to the old man, and the key to the treasury fell into the hands of the old lady. ”
"A dowry, who can figure out how much is in it? It's just that the Qin Mansion wants face after all, and there has never been a shortage of food and drink, plus the two orders are in the hands of the old man, so the old lady did not act rashly. She pinched the key and didn't let go, just to wait for Qin E and Qin Yan to get married and pinch them. ”
"But if there is a hole in the account, it is too big for her to fill it, can she still let go of the Shen family's dowry?"
Mama Xu's eyes lit up, and she said in a low voice: "Do you want the He family to lose the money of the Qin Mansion and let the old lady's Shen family's dowry fill it?"
Fang said with a smile: "The three-room couple is not harmonious, outsiders can't see it, we have been in the house for so many years, and we still can't see it?" If the third master really likes and respects the He family, how can he leave her in the mansion and leave her alone, so that she doesn't even have an heir?"
"The old lady also knows it in her heart! The third master knows about the embezzlement of the public and the bank, and he won't give her a divorce?"
"The old lady is the aunt of the He family, for the sake of the He family, for the sake of the He family, she can't stand idly by. I will definitely try my best to protect the He family and the face of the He family. (To be continued.) )
