"What's the problem?" asked the sixth old lady defenselessly.
The corners of Yao Keqing's mouth hooked, and he asked a question that he had asked Patriarch Yao just now, "I don't know when and where this document in your hand, Sixth Old Lady, was signed?"
As soon as this question was asked, Yao Chongming panicked - they didn't make a good confession about this matter, first, because the time was urgent, and secondly, they didn't expect Yao Keqing to ask this question, which is terrible......
After a moment of panic, Yao Chongming calmed down again, the forged document in the hands of the sixth old lady was signed by the sixth old lady and the patriarch Yao after they came to the Hou Mansion, and it was signed in the study of the Hou Mansion, the six old ladies just need to tell the truth, as for the time, it is written according to the real signing time, don't worry about this.
It's just that the sixth old lady couldn't help but think about it a little more, the real contract document was signed ten years ago, but ten years ago he didn't enter Beijing, nor did he leave Maozhou, if he said that it was signed in the Hou Mansion, it would be revealed when he checked it, so the sixth old lady hesitated for a moment before saying, "This document was signed in the ancestral hall of the Maozhou clan!" In order to show that what he said was true, the sixth old lady also added a fictional scene of his own," I remember that at that time, your grandfather's body was still extremely strong, but I didn't expect that after only a few months, he would be gone...... Alas......"
This sigh was very sincere, but everyone present had their own feelings, Yao Keqing looked at Patriarch Yao with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, Patriarch Yao couldn't raise his head in shame, Yao Chongming was speechless, Xiao Miao's eyes were deep, and he seemed to be actively thinking about countermeasures, but Xiao smiled happily.
The sixth old lady didn't know what was going on, and when she saw Xiao laughing, she was trembling, and she even asked with an inexplicable look and even anger, "What's wrong with the eldest sister-in-law? Could it be that the death of the fourth brother is a coke thing in the eyes of the eldest sister-in-law!"
Xiao Shi stopped laughing, looked at the sixth old lady with sarcasm, he was in a happy mood, and Xiao Shi spoke faster, "Actually, this document was signed in the Hou Mansion, right? The time was not ten years ago, but just two days ago!"
"Nonsense!" was said by Xiao's words, and the sixth old lady suddenly burst into a rage, "I respect you as the eldest sister-in-law, but you slander me!"
Xiao Shi didn't laugh angrily, "If I'm slandering you, you might as well ask the other people here and see what they say!"
Only then did the sixth old lady realize that the people around him looked at him a little strangely, and couldn't help but look at Yao Chongming, and saw Yao Chongming shaking his head at him with a dark face and almost invisibly, and suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing, and his brain exploded.
"Good!good! good! good!" Lord Yang couldn't help but stroking his palms and laughing, and after laughing, he instantly changed into a serious face, "Patriarch Yao is really very knowledgeable about current affairs! Someone gave greater benefits, so he threw away his previous promises! When Brother Yao wanted to entrust his family business to you, I didn't approve of it, but Brother Yao said that although you are a philistine, you are shrewd and aware of current affairs, and you have such a large amount of money to obtain, so you are reluctant to give up your faith and betray your righteousness, it seems that Yao Hou Ye has given you greater benefits!"
Patriarch Yao's face was almost buried on the table, obviously he didn't expect to be exposed to the forgery of the contract so soon, and secretly regretted that he shouldn't have been instigated by Xiao Miao's family to abandon the agreement with the old marquis, and honestly wait for a few years, aren't these industries also his own?
Yao Chongming was still thinking about countermeasures, and he didn't have time to care about Lord Yang's ridicule, so Xiao Miao had already responded, "So this contract in Patriarch Yao's hand is fake?
Yao Chongming also reacted, and followed Xiao Miao's words, "Yes, we were all deceived!" and said to the Yao patriarch with angry eyes, "Cousin, I respect you as the elder brother and the head of the clan, but why are you so tricky of me?"
The East Window incident, Yao Chongming and his wife pushed all the black pots on Patriarch Yao, looking at the development of the situation before, Patriarch Yao vaguely guessed that it would be like this, but he really came to this point but still couldn't help but be angry, and after the anger was deeper remorse, he really sought skin with the tiger!
What the old marquis values is his identity as the patriarch and his appeal in the clan, so the old marquis took half of the Houfu's wealth as a bargaining chip and made a contract with him, in order to ensure that after the death of the old marquis, he can keep the only bloodline of the long house to grow up safely and inherit the Houfu smoothly, he was moved by the large amount of property, and almost agreed without half a hesitation, with his prestige in the clan, it is not difficult to ensure that Yao Qishen inherits the title with the power of the clan, as long as it takes more than ten years, he can get half of the Houfu's wealth, this transaction is very cost-effective!
The old marquis said that the patriarch Yao is a person who understands current affairs, this evaluation is indeed not wrong, in front of a large amount of money, the patriarch Yao did not hesitate to agree to the old marquis's conditions, but in the same way, in addition to the wealth of this half of the Hou Mansion, Xiao Miao's family also promised him the opportunity to soar, and he naturally reneged on his promise to the old marquis.
It's a pity that in the end, the bamboo basket was empty, not only did he not catch anything, but when he returned to the clan, with the Xiao family, within three or two days, the news that he turned his back on the old marquis would spread throughout the entire clan, and he, the patriarch, would not have to do it again.
Half of the wealth of the Hou Mansion is gone, and the status of the patriarch is gone, so what else does he have? He has nothing? But Yao Chongming and his wife, who are the initiators, let him bear all the charges and lose everything with peace of mind, but they still enjoy the glory and wealth, why?
He was not convinced!
Patriarch Yao raised his head again, and anger burst out in his eyes, Xiao Miao's eyelids jumped, and he blamed Yao Chongming before he could speak, "How can Master Hou blame the patriarch like this! Presumably, the patriarch also deliberately committed perjury because of resentment, how can the patriarch not be blamed for this! The patriarch and his wife have a deep relationship, but the sister-in-law is ...... because of it" Speaking of this, Xiao Miao glanced at Yao Keqing with a timid sigh and continued, " Lost his mind due to some accidents, the patriarch naturally couldn't stand this, he didn't have a daughter not long ago, the white-haired person sent the black-haired person, and now the sister-in-law has become like this again, no one can bear such a blow, right?"
Yao Patriarch's words came to his mouth but was interrupted by Xiao Miao's family, seeing that Xiao Miao's family glanced at Yao Keqing when he just mentioned Tang's family, he couldn't help but suspect that Tang's death was related to Yao Keqing, so he swallowed what he wanted to say and listened to Xiao Miao's continue.
At this time, Xiao Miao's expression of self-reproach had been changed, "It's all my fault, Sister Xin lives in the Hou Mansion but failed to let her have a good home, a wisp of fragrant soul has nowhere to rely on, sister-in-law misses her daughter day and night, in a trance, but I neglect to take care of it, that day Sister Qing'er's secluded pavilion made a snake, and in a hurry I forgot to ask my sister-in-law, so that my sister-in-law was scared by the snake and lost her soul!" 10
