Chapter 208: Aunt-nephew Contest
Stepping into the hundred-year-old house of the Duanmu family with Zhang Lou, the deep and ancient fragrance on the face came, and many of the roads were paved with carefully selected rough stones of almost the same arc.
The surrounding trees are not ordinary green plants with thin arms, and the trees in them only need three or four people to hold onto them.
The breath here alone has made the people who come in can't help but straighten their backs, and their shoulders are dyed with this breath.
Although Zhang Lou's face was very calm, his eyes actually found that this place was extraordinary, and the upturned corners of his mouth had already explained his heart.
Since both of them like this place very much, they will try to become the master of this place as soon as possible.
On this day, the old mansion did not appear here at all as the outside world gossiped, and several other eldest ladies of the Duanmu family did not appear here at all.
Afterwards, Duanmu Hibiscus learned that it was not that the other young ladies did not want to come, but that the fourth young lady had taken precautions early in the morning, and they had no chance at all.
"You'll see someone in a moment. ”
Duanmu Hibiscus glanced at the fourth young lady who was all calculating, nodded and said, "Who is it?"
"We agreed before, your grandmother's legal counsel. ”
Unexpectedly, seeing that she had not contacted the legal counsel, she directly recruited people to the old mansion.
If I don't agree, I'm afraid there will be no dinner tomorrow. The means are not clever, but they make Duanmu Hibiscus the most irrefutable.
"Yes. "It just so happens that I also want to meet this legal counsel who can make Miss Four helpless.
Dozens of minutes later, a woman with a single expression walked in, and in terms of temperament, she was more like a bodyguard.
"Shall we talk outside?"
Duanmu Hibiscus did not hide his thoughts either. The old mansion is now controlled by the fourth lady, and almost every word she says in this house will be heard.
"Glad to be there. ”
Looking at the two people who ignored her and stepped out of the room alone, the fourth lady was murderous in her eyes, but she was not in a hurry, because there was a back hand.
Walking to a path leading to the backyard, the lawyer suddenly said, "You don't think it's safe to walk out, do you?"
The sarcasm between the words made Duanmu Hibiscus frown slightly. Could it be that this lawyer is not actually my grandmother's person, or is it a person who does not agree with him at all?
If his guess is true, then it will be difficult to realize the plan he thought of before coming to the imperial capital. If you want to become the head of the Duanmu family, you will also be affected to a certain extent.
"Why are you scared?"
"Scared?"
Duanmu Hibiscus, who had just come back to his senses, heard the lawyer's next words and held back a little unhappiness in his heart. Holding a mobile phone in his hand, he operated it quickly.
At first, the lawyer was unimpressed, but after a few seconds, his eyes changed when he saw Duanmu Hibiscus looking like a high-end computer device.
Because of a case I recently accepted, I came into contact with a computer wizard, and I was constantly instilled with this kind of stuff every day. She also knew a few things.
She understands that the things in the hands of this young lady who met for the first time, as long as a little bit is taken out, can make the technology in the field of electronic devices advance for more than ten years.
"Now it's talkative. Duanmu pointed to his phone.
After the operation just now, as long as the Ministry of Information uses their voices to make up words, so that's it. What they said would not be listened to by the fourth lady.
The Minister of Information confidently promised that he could complete this task well, and that no one would be able to hear that the conversation was forged by them.
"The Admiral had earlier set a time for the will to be presented. Now it belongs to the second situation, does the little lady really want me to take it out?"
When she made her will, Admiral Duanmu said that this will could carry out the plan she had set. However, it is up to the decision to give priority to the implementation of Duanmu Hibiscus.
Thinking of the admiral's arrangement, the lawyer was in a cold sweat, once the young lady in front of him could not make the right decision, then it was likely that the admiral's mood would be in vain.
"Schedule a time, I'm going to see. Duanmu Hibiscus kept staring into her eyes, confirming one thing from several aspects. The lawyer seems to be afraid that he will make unreasonable demands.
"Yes, Miss Xiao set a time. ”
The lawyer wanted to persuade Duanmu Hibiscus. However, after hesitating for dozens of seconds, she gave up, not that she gave up, but that she was keen to find that the little lady in front of her was not a person who changed her mind easily.
"Then tomorrow after the feast. The specific time is decided, and I will sue you. ”
"Yes. ”
Duanmu Hibiscus glanced at the legal counsel again and offered to return to the living room. But in his heart, he was thinking about how to take this hard-tempered lawyer for his own use. The most important thing is that the person is to his liking.
When they walked back to the living room, Zhang Lou was alone in the living room. The fourth lady has gone somewhere.
"What about the fourth aunt?" Duanmu Hibiscus also asked, sitting next to Zhang Lou.
"I went upstairs. Zhang Lou only felt that there was no wife by his side just now, and his heart was empty, but the huge living room also seemed deserted.
As he spoke, he moved his body a little closer to Duanmu Hibiscus.
The lawyer on the side saw this scene, and the color of his eyes changed. She may not have seen a man like Zhang Lou in her life.
is neither humble nor arrogant, but he can see that he is very timid and assertive, and when he sees Duanmu Hibiscus, he immediately seems to have no opinion. It seems to have no edges and corners, but in fact it has its own character; But it makes people feel that he needs the protection of others very much. This man is not simple either.
This lawyer's discovery for a while gave Zhang Lou a very important help later.
"Little Miss, since the matter has been negotiated, then I will leave. "Now the Duanmu family is the whirlpool of the storm, if she can, she tries not to get involved.
"Well, thank you. Duanmu Hibiscus likes the position of a lawyer to see himself clearly.
"That's what I'm supposed to do. ”
After the lawyer left, a voice finally came from the second floor, and the fourth lady and her cronies walked down with black faces.
Thinking that she hadn't listened to her conversation with the lawyer, she was uneasy and angry.
Just at this time, the old housekeeper came out: "Fourth Miss, lunch is ready." Isn't it time to set the table?"
"Let's set the table now. The fourth young lady's face sank a little more, and she glared at the old butler who was making trouble.
This old thing is really an eyesore, relying on his seniority in the Duanmu Hibiscus family to do things unscrupulously.
"How did you talk to the lawyer, and would she be willing to give her will?"
During dessert after the meal, the fourth lady began to ask about the will.
Of course, it is impossible for Duanmu Hibiscus to tell her the truth, but by the way, it is okay to use it: "Fourth aunt, don't worry, I will talk to her again." ”
The niece on his side seems to be very obedient, but in fact she is a difficult person with a backbone.
"Well, you should prepare for the banquet tomorrow. As for how long to stay here. You can live there forever. ”
"Thank you, Aunt Four. ”
Such a simple and cordial thank you made the fourth lady's chest even tighter. I'm not a good person, is my niece really stupid, or pretending to be stupid. Of course, the fourth lady has become more and more afraid to underestimate her in her heart.
"Hmm. The fourth lady was not happy, and she didn't want to say more.
The corners of Duanmu's mouth are upturned when others can't see it. When she looked up, she saw that there were a few dishes that Zhang Lou liked, which were not at a distance that he could handle, so she ignored the others and seriously ate Zhang Lou's dishes.
The food tasted very good to his taste, and when he looked up at a corner, he just saw the old butler smiling and looking at him. The old butler seemed to have a good opinion of himself.
Find time to talk to the old housekeeper, after all, he knows too little about the old house.
"Little Miss, please come with me. ”
After the meal, the old housekeeper stepped forward at the right time, "Little Miss, do you want to go back to the room to rest?"
"Well, there's a housekeeper who can help me show me the way. ”
Zhang Lou on the side found that the old housekeeper had a very special attitude, and he was not unhappy at all that his wife asked her to lead the way. On the contrary, I am very happy.
Is there something to say? Avoid it for a while.
"Master, do you want me to teach that old guy a lesson?"
The fourth lady's cronies looked at the picture in the monitor, and immediately had the intention to show their loyalty in front of their master and show their faces to win favor.
"Use your brain, the old butler can move. Am I going to let her live until now?"
Although the fourth lady did not turn to look at her, the cronie was careful not to make another sound.
In the silent surveillance room, no one else dared to make a sound. The fourth lady stared at the picture quietly.
Until she saw that only Duanmu Hibiscus and the old housekeeper were left in the picture, and the two of them were talking with their backs to the picture, the fourth lady immediately ordered: "Amplify the voice." ”
As soon as the voice came out, these subordinates began to get busy with their skillful movements.
It's just that after a few minutes, the fourth lady's face did not improve, but became more gloomy. The sound is on to the maximum. There was still silence in the picture.
Because there is no sound in the picture. From the demeanor of the two people in the picture, it shows that they are indeed talking.
"Master?"
Keep staring. The fourth lady was gloomy and did not look at the picture again, but looked at the tree-lined path in the backyard from the glass.
She could now be sure that Duanmu Hibiscus and the lawyer must have had a substantive conversation on the trail before. Annoyed and angry, she immediately ordered the two of them: "Take someone to monitor the lawyer immediately, and report everything." ”
"Yes. The subordinates looked at each other cautiously, admiring in their hearts that their master was so powerful, and they could think of so much so quickly.
Although Duanmu Hibiscus protected what she told the old housekeeper. But it quickly attracted the suspicion of the fourth lady.
Of course, Duanmu Hibiscus, who was in his room, didn't know that he was suspected by Miss Four, and he didn't know that the lawyer had been arranged with a more thorough supervisor.
"You said that our conversation, Miss Fourth couldn't hear it. But then you have exposed yourself?" the old butler cared about her comfort. In the past, she loyally protected Admiral Duanmu, but now she uses this loyalty on Duanmu Hibiscus.
The corners of Duanmu's mouth turned up, since he dared to do this under surveillance. Just thought about it: "It's okay, I'm still useful now, she doesn't dare." I'm worried about you, old butler?"
When he was about to eat just now, Duanmu Hibiscus found that the fourth lady was very disgusted with the old housekeeper, and she belonged to the kind of pent-up resentment that had been accumulated for a long time.
I'm afraid that Miss Fourth can't wait for this old woman to die, right?
