168 Peel back the cocoon

"Grandmother, now that I have arrived in such a field, my granddaughter did not expect it, and it is all my fault. But I really don't know how to say the suffering! If it is only related to the granddaughter, no matter what the price is, it is just that the granddaughter is not filial, and the grandmother and mother are affected, and the reputation of the younger sisters is hindered. ”

Xiao Jinxin knelt on the ground, pinched a handkerchief and wiped her tears, her eyes were red, and her eyes were stubborn and suppressed her resentment.

At this time, in the spring, there was a hint of cold air on the green brick ground, Bai took the futon in the maid's hand and persuaded: "My sister has a body, don't kneel directly on the ground, it will be more comfortable on the mat." ”

However, Xiao Jinxin shook her head, pushed it away directly, and said expressionlessly: "Sister-in-law is kind, I don't dare to bear it, if I leave the Li family, this is just an obstacle, and if it's gone, it's gone." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces changed, and Mrs. Tai twisted the hand of the Buddha beads for a moment before continuing to play with it.

Listening to these cold and hard words, Liu Shi burst into tears even more, if it weren't for his daughter-in-law supporting him behind him, he was afraid that he would have rushed over to hug his head and cry.

However, Shan raised his eyebrows, unmoved, with coldness in his eyes. She also has a daughter to be in the boudoir, if Xiao Jinxin loses her morality and is abandoned and comes back, which girl from the Yongning Hou Mansion can marry a good family, so the fourth lady who is used to being a good person on weekdays is also angry.

But before she could speak, she heard Mrs. Tai say lightly: "Our Xiao family does not have the atmosphere of sitting back and watching my aunt and grandmother being wronged in her husband's family without squeaking, but there is no reason to come to the door indiscriminately to make enemies." ”

The old lady glanced at Liu as she spoke, and the latter looked away weakly, and wiped her forehead with a handkerchief in disguise, looking at her daughter's eyes worried.

Xiao Jinxin's eyes moved, and she lowered her eyes as if she was thinking.

Shan just moved the corners of his lips sarcastically.

However, at this moment, Aunt Mei walked in with swaying steps and was supported by the maid, her eyes slipped around the ground, and she stopped on Liu's heartbroken face for a long time before she covered her mouth and lowered the corners of her mouth and pretended to owe and said: "Alas, the concubine stewed soup for the second aunt and grandmother, thinking that the third aunt and grandmother also had it, so she brought a bowl over." This tonic soup is the second aunt's grandmother's favorite, and now it's just this bite, Liang Wangfu sent her fresh ingredients over, and the third aunt and grandmother should also try it. ”

But now who is in the mood to listen to her, they all ignore it silently, because Xiao Jinlan is pregnant with the heir of King Liang, this aunt is becoming more and more frivolous.

Aunt Mei's eyes turned, and when she saw that everyone was ignoring her, she said to Xiao Jinxin on the ground in a serious voice: "Third aunt, what is more important than the child in the belly, the body is important." You and the second aunt and grandmother are sisters, why don't you let the second aunt intercede for you, presumably the Guogong Mansion will also give Liang Wangfu face, right?"

Xiao Jinxin glanced to the side, "Don't bother." ”

"What are you doing here?" Liu looked at her coldly.

Aunt Mei smiled, "Doesn't the concubine care about the third aunt and grandmother, let's see if there is any second aunt and grandmother who can help, after all, today is different from the past!"

Lin Xi was speechless, where did he get such a big face?

"Cousin, it's time for my father to go into the city. Zhao Yuanrong reminded in a whisper.

Lin Xi frowned in embarrassment, he, naturally, hoped to be able to welcome his sweetheart back in person, so he was a little excited. However, when his eyes fell on the hand of Mrs. Tai next to him clasped in front of his knees, Lin Xi's eyes suddenly froze, and the beads were moved one by one, but the hand couldn't help but tremble, as if he was trying his best to endure it......

Lin Xi sighed, none of the men in charge of the Yongning Marquis Mansion were there, how could he walk away at this time.

"Rong'er, why don't you send someone to send you first......"

However, before Lin Xi finished speaking, Zhao Yuanrong's head shook like a rattle, "Rong'er, don't look at the big black face of your father." ”

Now that his son is not important, his sweetheart is the treasure at hand, Lin Xi is not going, he is alone, and he has not froze to death with a cold face for most of the year.

Lin Xi couldn't help but let him cry and laugh, but this messy grievances of the wealthy family was really tiring.

One is still hard-mouthed when he dies, and the other can't get on the table but adds to the chaos. Fortunately, his Lin Mansion was clean and clean, and he didn't have that much to worry about, of course, he didn't touch those in Rui Wang's Mansion.

"Shut up and stand down. ”

Mrs. Tai seemed to have endured enough, although the voice was not loud, but the tone was rare harsh, and even with a hint of dangerous coldness.

In an instant, the room seemed to fall silent because of this sentence, and Aunt Mei was stunned for a moment, but rarely retreated obediently without squeaking again. She felt that at this moment, if she said one more word, even Xiao Jinlan would not be able to save her if she knelt down with her stomach and pleaded.

Aunt Mei ran away, but Liu couldn't give birth to a trace of joy, her eyes were full of worries about her daughter.

For so many years, the old lady has rarely given orders as she gets older, because she, the housewife, has become more and more obedient, but when the old lady really speaks, no one in the whole house dares not listen.

granddaughter, in addition to Xiao Jinxin, there are also Xiao Jinlan, Xiao Jinshan, Xiao Jinyi......

"Xin girl. Mrs. Tai's eyes looked at Xiao Jinxin, and her slightly cold words were extremely heavy, "You haven't figured out what the situation is now, and if you don't tell the truth, you will blindly mess around, and when the Guogong Mansion will bring all the evidence to the surface, it will be useless to talk about the child in your belly." And the old woman has no choice but to wronged you for the reputation of other girls in the Hou Mansion. ”

Xiao Jinxin's pupils suddenly shrank, and her fingers unconsciously stirred together.

Liu fidgeted anxiously, and kept signaling to his daughter, "Xin'er......"

At this time, Bai Shi spoke, and she persuaded in a soft voice: "Third sister, looking at the expression of the Duchess today, she knows everything about what you have done, or she has already grasped your handle, and now only we are kept in the dark, which is not good for you at all." It's better to confess and discuss countermeasures together, even if you go to court, you also know how to deal with it. You are the young lady who went out of the Hou Mansion, your reputation is closely related to the Hou Mansion, no one goes out to talk nonsense, it is better than losing your preparation, and being shaken out directly, and falling into the wind is strong, don't you say?"

This is reasonable, "And ......" Bai Shi looked at the old lady, and said directly, "The person who serves you has already explained almost before, there is no need to hide it anymore, grandmother and mother know it in their hearts." ”

Xiao Jinxin slowly raised her head, tears slid down her silent cheeks, and she said: "Grandmother, mother, fourth aunt, sister-in-law, I married in the past to live a good life, even if I was a stepmother, I recognized it." I followed the previous convention for Yu Ge'er's food and clothing, and I didn't move, for fear that some people would say that I was treated poorly. But the old woman said that I was deducted, just a grandmother, I just let people teach me a lesson, Brother Yu sued her father-in-law, and her mother-in-law took over without asking me, and didn't take me in her eyes at all. Although it was handed over to me to preside over the feed, but there were no taels of silver left in the treasury, I was a new daughter-in-law, where did I know the whole person when I first arrived, hundreds of people in the Guogong Mansion, food, clothing, and family banquets were waiting for me, so anxious that my mouth was full of bubbles, and Li Rangyi said, but he reprimanded me and said I will not run a house. My mother-in-law looked at me coldly, and everyone waited for me to make a fool...... The more this happened, the more I didn't let people see it, so I had to grit my teeth and use the dowry money to survive......"

These Liu knew early on that Xiao Yuheng had also gone to the Guogong Mansion many times for these, but when it came to it, it was still extremely sad.

Just listening to this, this girl is still quite pitiful, it is not easy for women in ancient times to say this, Lin Xi sighed in his heart.

Xiao Jinxin looked up at the old lady again, and the latter also looked at her lightly, so she gritted her teeth and continued, "There are many slaves in the house who rely on the old and sell the old, that is, no matter how much silver the granddaughter has, she can't fill their greed, and if she has the silver, she will move, and she doesn't even bother to move the soles of her feet without the silver, but the granddaughter used some means, and they took the errand in the wrong place, and replaced them with their own people, so they got handy, isn't this also wrong......

Mrs. Tai suddenly waved her hand, making Xiao Jinxin stop, she said: "I said so much in vain, so let's ask." ”

"Mother. Liu called out and looked around, especially Lin Xi and Zhao Yuanrong.

Mrs. Tai glanced at her lightly and ignored her.

Lin Xi couldn't sit still, "Grandmother, grandson is in the next room." ”

Mrs. Tai bowed slightly, and Ren's mother led Lin Xi and Zhao Yuanrong to the next door.

"Mother Ren, you go inside and keep watch, the old lady will call me if she has any discomfort. ”

Ren's mother immediately responded, and ordered the maid to serve tea, and then entered the main house.

Despite the fact that this next door is really just a wall, the words inside can still be passed on.

"Baojing Qianzhuang is 100,000 taels, Jufang Qianzhuang is 80,000 taels, can you remember?" Mrs. Tai said lightly.

Xiao Jinxin raised her head suddenly, "I saved it." Can...... That's my dowry. She looked at Liu, "Mother privately lowered the bottom of the pressure box that was stuffed into me. ”

Bai's brows suddenly furrowed, Liu didn't see it, just nodded slowly.

Shan Shi smiled suddenly, and the sarcasm in his eyes was not hidden, "The girl who married into the Rui Wang's Mansion back then, the bottom of the box was only 30,000 taels, and the sister-in-law has been running the family for many years, our third lady in addition to the 20,000 taels of silver on the bright side, the old lady's subsidy of 5,000 taels, it turns out that there is a private house of 180,000 taels in secret, heh, mother, you have to check the accounts of the Hou Mansion!"

Bai Shi hurriedly smiled and said: "Fourth aunt, you will be mistaken, my mother gave my sister some self-treatment, but how can there be so much, my mother is just surprised for a moment and can't figure it out." Saying that, he hurriedly said to Xiao Jinxin seriously, "Third sister, this is not a small amount, as long as the accounts of a pair of Guogong Mansion are clear, you can't fool it." ”

Xiao Jinxin glared at the Bai family angrily and said, "There are still a lot of dowry industries, and this is ......."

Mrs. Tai didn't want to listen to the crooked entanglement, and continued: "The three-story shop in the light textile street in the west of the city, the four-story house in Yangliu Street in Hulu Lane, the Guangping Grange, and some other properties, the old woman doesn't remember that this is the dowry that your mother bought for you. ”

Looking at Xiao Jinxin's frightened gaze, Mrs. Tai said coldly: "You think you have done a clever job, and your name is hanging under your minions, but it's a pity that when you ask someone to find out who it was before, you will find it clear." Go, bring Zhang Quan's family in. ”

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Jinxin suddenly froze her body, she turned her head and saw a woman in her forties who was hanging her head and following Qi's mother in.

"Say it. Qi's mother commanded.

Zhang's family knelt on the ground, and immediately explained honestly, "These properties were originally owned by the Song Guogong Mansion, and some of them were still the dowry of the first lady, which was originally taken care of by the first lady, and the uncle was not good at the economy. It's just half a year ago that the third aunt and grandmother entrusted the slave maid to turn her hand a few times and finally hung it in the name of the slave maid. ”

Xiao Jinxin ate her heart, but after Zhang Quan's family finished speaking, she was taken out by Qi's mother, so she could only shrink her neck, bow her head and not speak.

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, it was unheard of for the ladies to secretly transfer the husband's property to their own names, not to mention that there was also the dowry of the main room, which was to be left to her daughter and son, Xiao Jinxin actually dared. 166 Reading Network
