098: Blackmail (Part I)
The next day, the worship post of the Xu Mansion was handed to the Chengping Marquis Mansion again. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info this time, the mother-in-law who came to send the worship post was not turned away, I heard that Miss Shen San was willing to see the Xu family, and Xu Biyuan, who was still like a headless fly, immediately packed the red seal of two hundred taels of silver tickets and arrived at the Chengping Marquis Mansion.
Xu Biyuan did not go directly to see Shen Qihuan, but found Grandma Li and told Shen Quehuan about what Shen Quehuan promised to see her, hoping that Grandma Li could accompany her to see Miss San, so that the chances of success may be greater.
Grandma Li didn't say a word, took the maid's winter salary, and went to the Dongfu Yanyun Pavilion with Xu Biyuan. waited for two teas in the flower hall before waiting for Shen Qihuan, who was late.
She was wearing a homely jade-colored thin cotton gown skirt, her hair was pulled into a bun at will, there was no embellishment on her neck and hair, her phoenix eyes and thick eyebrows were in the painting, and she swept gently towards the visitors while walking, and the heroic beam of light was like a sword tempered in the cold ice, which was fascinating.
With just one glance, Xu Biyuan's hands shook, and the greasy white bone china teacup almost slipped off her hand, "You ......"
Shen Quehuan was greeting Grandma Li, and when she heard this, she raised her eyes calmly and stared at her for a moment, and then said in confusion: "This is Mrs. Sun......?
Seeing Xu Biyuan looking at Shen Qihuan directly, Li Shi hurriedly explained: "Look at you, our third young lady is so good-looking, and it makes you look straight in the eyes?"
Xu Biyuan hurriedly smiled in disguise, and gave Shen Que a salute, but Mu Ran's expression did not ease for a while.
The three of them sat down separately, and the next person replaced the tea that Li and Xu Biyuan had just drunk, and replaced it with a fine porcelain tea bowl with a red flower bottom, which was dipped in two small chrysanthemums and two round little green oranges.
Xu Biyuan has also seen a lot of the world in the past two years, and today look at the furnishings and utensils in this flower hall, which is even bigger than the pomp and circumstance of Mrs. Sun of Shangshu Mansion.
The more Xu Biyuan thought about it, the more unreliable she felt, especially her appearance, which was clearly ...... with the third lady That's right, the third lady Shen Yulan is Miss Shen Jiayan, and it is normal to be a little similar to these three young ladies.
Thinking about it, Grandma Li has already explained the meaning slightly.
"I just said to Mrs. Sun, this is really a big flood to wash the Dragon King Temple, Lord Sun is in the Ministry of War, Mrs. Sun's sister is the pillow person of Lord Sun, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Lord Sun and your uncle are officials in the same dynasty, that is not to look up and look down, the fourth aunt entrusted this time, to help Mrs. Sun say such a love, the house in Shuijing Hutong will be given to Xiao Chen Gongzi in vain, see if you can talk to Kyoto Wei first, first release Mrs. Xu and Lord Sun, and then discuss it slowly. ”
Li really didn't see anything outside, what he could say and what he couldn't say, he said it all in one sentence.
Xu Biyuan couldn't help but look at Shen Qihuan's face, only to see her smile slightly, suck a sip of tea, and then said slowly: "I don't know much about this matter, my father bought the house for Aunt Chen, his old man handled the chores for the first time, and he was deceived only as a long lesson, but then how things got worse and worse, I don't quite understand, the fourth wife should also know, my father drills into books all day long, and treats people and things is the most easy-going, I also wonder why he lost his temper." ”
Li's called herself "Fourth Aunt", but Shen Qihuan was only willing to call her "Fourth Wife", how could Li's not hear the estrangement inside, she couldn't help but glance at Xu Biyuan, and said with a smile: "The second master is indeed the most easy-going person, I heard that it also alarmed Kyoto Wei that day?"
Xu Biyuan hurriedly picked up the conversation: "Say a thousand things and ten thousand, this matter is all my fault, I'm not afraid of the third miss and Mrs. Shen's jokes, my father carried my mother behind his back a few years ago, and after being discovered by my mother, he promised to give all the land deeds to my mother. As she spoke, Xu Biyuan took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears," That day, my mother was also dizzy, thinking that Chen Gongzi and my father teamed up to take care of her house, but what can she do with a woman, she can only go to my house to find my family, it is also a coincidence, that day our family is not at home on a business trip out of the city, my mother has no master, and she should be lucky, just two guards under my family came to the house to send the New Year's gift, I heard that my mother was in trouble, so I took this matter up, where did my mother understand this, and I didn't know that this would affect my family. ”
Xu Biyuan's face was full of melancholy, and she was even more indignant. Shen Qihuan just sighed lightly, raised his eyelids slightly, and his eyes were as clear as a calm Gu Jing: "Mrs. Sun, don't you know that I was also present at the time?"
Xu Biyuan was stunned, she was dumbfounded by Shen Qihuan's words, she looked at Shen Qihuan in a daze, how can this person be like this? Everyone knows what the hell is going on, she just wants to give both sides a step down, since she is willing to see herself, doesn't she want a step? How can she poke the words in public?
Li's heart is also bottomless, this matter is wrong with the Xu family, but he can say this in front of others...... It's so ruthless.
Shen Quehuan didn't care if she was comfortable or uncomfortable, she never disdained to beat around the bush, she put the teacup aside, and said: "I didn't have a position to get involved in this matter, it doesn't make sense that my father is angry in front, I will follow the stage in the back, say something else, my Aunt Chen has to have a dislike with me first, but yesterday my seventh lady suddenly came to me and said that the fourth room has such a relationship with your Xu family, let me give her a long face." Speaking of this, she was indeed surprised when she saw Li's face turn pale, but she was not shocked, Shen Qihuan pouted with a sneer, "After all, Miss Seven and I are both surnamed Shen, and I don't look at the face of the fourth master, I have to take care of Lao Anren, so I let the maid take Mrs. Sun's post, and I am also willing to be this middleman, to put it bluntly, the pimple between your Xu family and my Aunt Chen is nothing at all." ”
Shen Qihuan said these words like smashing a knife, and Xu Biyuan and Li's faces couldn't hang up.
How could she say it so directly? Isn't this a slap in the face of the Xu family?
But Shen Qihuan's words also made Xu Biyuan's hanging heart settle down a little, as long as she is willing to let go, even if she really slaps her now, what can she do. Her mother and husband were locked up in prison, and she didn't know whether she was alive or dead, and she couldn't find a way out for more than ten days.
Now that Shen Qihuan is willing to go downhill, no matter what the conditions are, she can only accept them.
Xu Biyuan figured out this layer, her face eased a lot, a trace of indifferent smile lines were outlined on her lips, and she said sincerely: "Third Miss, you are a cheerful person, our Xu family is willing to bow this head, in addition to the house in Shuijing Hutong, we are willing to compensate Aunt Chen for a three-entry courtyard in Sixiang Hutong, I only hope that Aunt Chen can extinguish the anger, and say a few good words for us in front of the second master, so that the second master will let my mother and my family go." ”
