When Xiao Miao spoke, he either glanced at Yao Keqing from time to time, or mentioned Yao Keqing in his words, all of which implied that Tang's death was related to Yao Keqing, although the Yao patriarch did not fully believe what Xiao Miao said, but he also showed a little hesitation, and looked at Yao Keqing with a little scrutiny.

Xiao Miao said again, "In short, everything is the fault of the Hou Mansion, and the patriarch should be resentful, I am afraid that you made this fake contract just to see our two rooms make a fight to vent the anger of the sister-in-law, right?" We were at fault for this in the first place, and I don't have the face to blame you for fraud! ”

Xiao Miao avoided the important and defined a deliberately planned conspiracy to steal money as a prank to aggravate his wife, and the latter was much lighter than the two.

Patriarch Yao understood Xiao Miao's intentions, weighed it slightly, and felt that it was good to cover up the past like this, even if he couldn't get that large amount of property, at least he could keep his patriarch's position, which was much stronger than a fish dying and breaking the net, and the truth of Tang's madness was unknown, combined with Xiao Miao's hint just now, it may not be possible to grasp the handle of Changfang.

Thinking like this, Patriarch Yao put on a look of both grief and regret, remorse and indignation, "So what? For more than ten years, I have tried my best to take care of the property for the Hou Mansion, and I dare not make the slightest mistake, but how does the Hou Mansion repay me? My good daughter has been in your hands, but now she has become a white bone, my sturdy wife has been in Beijing for less than a month, and she has gone crazy, she doesn't know the grains, she doesn't know the heat and cold, and she doesn't even know me, my husband who has been married for more than 20 years, but you don't have a convincing reason to explain, how can I not be angry? If I can still smile generously, wouldn't it be in vain to be a husband and a father! ”

Patriarch Yao's impassioned statement Yao Keqing couldn't help but applaud him, saying "great", just like the real thing.

Yao Chongming also took advantage of the situation to make amends, "Sister-in-law's illness is indeed the fault of the Hou Mansion, as long as my brother can dissipate his anger, I am willing to let my brother deal with it!" He said to the sixth old lady, "It's all my nephew's fault, I'm really ashamed that you have traveled thousands of miles to Beijing!" ”

The sixth old lady was deaf and clear-sighted, and figured out the way from the conversation between them, knowing that the perjury had been exposed but was rounded back by Xiao Miao's family, worried that he would be involved in the end, the sixth old lady waved his hand in a hurry, "It's okay, it's okay!" I was also entrusted by my eldest nephew to accompany him to do a play! Since you still have something to discuss, I'll go back to rest on this old bone, I'm too old to stand the toss......" he said, and ran away with a smoke, as if he was afraid of being called back.

With Yao Chongming's cooperation, the patriarch Yao became more and more energetic, "Yes, I am a fraud, the real contract document has long been destroyed, I worked hard for the Hou Mansion, but in the end, my daughter died, and my wife went crazy, but the Hou Mansion was happy and peaceful, how could I be willing?" But even God is not on my side, and after all, I couldn't split the Hou Mansion......"

With a desolate smile, Patriarch Yao ended his performance.

Yao Chongming apologized again, the identities of the two sides seemed to be reversed, it was the patriarch Yao who was obviously wrong, but he became the most innocent one, Yao Keqing, who knew everything, looked at the farce in front of him, and only felt ridiculous.

Even the Xiao clan almost believed Patriarch Yao's words, but combined with Patriarch Yao's temperament, Xiao understood that he was acting in a play to give himself a step, and immediately sneered, and took the lead in questioning his performance, "I was also there when the Tang clan was crazy that day, and I heard some gossip, can the patriarch be interested in listening to it?" ”

Xiao Miao's mention of the Tang clan was just to lure Patriarch Yao to cover up the fraud in the direction she envisioned, and it was not true that she wanted to discuss the truth of the Tang clan's madness here.

However, Patriarch Yao wanted to know the inside story of the Tang clan's madness very much, and hurriedly said, "Please let my aunt tell me one or two!" ”

Xiao said, "That day is Brother Chen's big day, the family is troublesome, I don't know where a lot of poisonous snakes appeared, all ran to the secluded pavilion, at that time Sister Qing was still in the secluded pavilion, and finally fortunately the second aunt arrived in time, all the poisonous snakes were killed, and then the second aunt took Sister Qing back to the princess's mansion, leaving only the officials of the yamen to search for the poisonous snake, dispose of the corpse of the snake, somehow the corpse of the poisonous snake arrived on Tang's bed, Tang was frightened and lost his soul! ”

After Yao Keqing left, the Tang clan was frightened crazy, so the Tang clan's madness had nothing to do with Yao Keqing, and the long house had no handle to catch, and the Yao patriarch couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

At this time, Lord Yang coughed and said, "Since Patriarch Yao has personally admitted that the contract document in your hand is fake, it also proves that the one in my hand is real!" ”

Patriarch Yao nodded helplessly.

Lord Yang said, "In this case, there are some things that you can't ignore and worry about!" The old marquis also has the responsibility to supervise the old man to let the old man be this witness, and now the patriarch Yao has acted improperly, and it is not suitable to keep this property anymore, according to the old man, this property should be returned to the Hou Mansion! ”

Isn't this property still in his own hands when it comes to the Hou Mansion, Yao Chongming readily agreed, "What Lord Yang said is extremely true!" ”

Patriarch Yao had already expected that he would not be able to continue to hold these properties, so he had to sigh and nod, "I only kept it on behalf of the old Hou Ye, and I haven't touched a penny of the output and profit over the years, all of which are recorded in the account book, and I also brought the account book, and the Hou Ye asked people to go to my room to get it!" ”

Yao Chongming was about to ask someone to get the account book, but was stopped by Lord Yang, "Wait!" ”

Yao Chongming was puzzled, "Is there anything else to do?" ”

Lord Yang took out the contract document and said, "It is clearly written on it that Yao Qishen, the eldest son of the Changfang, is the next person to inherit the Hou Mansion, but now that the Hou Mansion has not yet been established, the Hou Ye wants to take these properties back, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, right?" If the Hou Ye took these properties away, but finally set up another son, wouldn't it go against the old Hou Ye's wishes? ”

Lord Yang's last sentence pierced Yao Chongming's bottom of his heart, and he couldn't help but ask with a calm face, "According to the meaning of the adult, what should I do next?" ”

Lord Yang said with a smile, "Actually, it's also simple, as long as the Hou Ye immediately writes to ask the eldest son and grandson, Yao Qishen, to be the son of the Hou Mansion of Changxiang, these properties can be taken away!" ”

Yao Qishen is the brother-in-law of the eldest princess's only son, and with this relationship, Lord Yang believes that as long as this fold is handed over, Yao Qishen will inevitably be established as the son.

Since these properties belong to the Hou Mansion, after setting up Yao Qishen as the son, Yao Qishen is the next master of the upright Hou Mansion, so these things finally came into Yao Qishen's hands.

Yao Chongming and Xiao Miao didn't want such a result, so Yao Chongming didn't agree to Lord Yang for a long time, but forced Yao Qishen to ask, "Brother Shen, what do you mean?" Do you want to use the property of the Hou Mansion as a threat to make your father a son? ”
