CHAPTER XX
Xie was beaten by Gui Mama with a strong handboard, although the palm hurt, but compared to the collapse of her heart, it is nothing at all, she can't remember how many years she has not suffered such humiliation, even when she stayed in the Dingguo Mansion in the past, because she never came out, so, there are not many opportunities to be beaten by Liu's handboard, until after marriage, it has not passed, I didn't expect that today, Liu's actually didn't give her face, not even her aunt's face, and insisted on beating her.
After the fight, Xie was about to cry, but when he saw Yan Zhaohua's smiling face, he held back stiffly, clutched his swollen and hot palms, and wrote down the grudge.
Aunt Gong also desperately endured her anger, and when she helped Xie Shi leave, she didn't dare to leave with her sleeves up, but the farewell ceremony was perfunctory enough.
Yan Zhaohua stood beside Liu's side, and looked at the back of Aunt Gong and Xie with Liu's support, Yan Zhaohua's heartbeat has not been calmed down until now, she dreamed of making Xie suffer a little in her last life, but in the end she failed to achieve it because her strength was too weak, turned to look at Liu, Yan Zhaohua said sincerely:
"Grandmother, you're amazing."
This sentence definitely came from Yan Zhaohua's heart, but Liu Shi was not very happy, and after hesitating for a while, he grabbed Yan Zhaohua's hand and asked her to sit down beside him.
After a while, Liu sighed and said:
"Are you mentally prepared for today's events?"
Yan Zhaohua's mind turned quickly, and he immediately understood what Liu meant, and nodded without hesitation and said: "I have been prepared for a long time, even if my grandmother does not punish my wife today, she will not look down on me, be kind to me, instead of being cowering and being calculated by her, simply pick out and say it, grandmother don't think that I will say these things on impulse, there is really no other way, and the life in the house is getting more and more difficult......"
Liu's heart secretly praised Zhaohua's quick response, she could understand the meaning of her words so quickly, she disposed of Xie's today, Xie didn't dare to do anything to her, but Sister Hua is still a child, if Xie uses some shady tricks in the open and secret, Sister Hua's children's family, where do they know so much, if they hit the trick, they will regret it, thinking of this, Liu's even regretted it a little, regretting that he didn't endure it for Sister Hua today, but, after thinking about it again, Liu's understood it again, such a simple truth, She didn't think about Sister Hua as thoroughly as this kid said, even if she endured Xie's behavior today and let her go back safely, Xie would not treat Sister Hua better.
Yan Zhaohua looked at Liu's thoughtfulness, bit his lower lip, walked up to Liu's, knelt down on his knees, startled Liu's, and said, "What are you doing?" Something to say. ”
"Sister Hua, I want to thank my grandmother for her kindness today, now there are not many people around me and Brother Qian who can be trusted, so there are some things that have to trouble my grandmother."
Mama Gui hurriedly came over to help Yan Zhaohua up, and while dusting her up, she said:
"What is the eldest girl doing, what do you have to say, will the old lady still agree to you?"
After experiencing today's events, Mama Gui also felt sorry for this child from the bottom of her heart, listen to what she said, if it is true, then Mrs. Hou is too vicious, if it is an ordinary stepmother who treats her children harshly, she is still the aunt of two children, and with this relationship, she has not been able to let her treat the two children well.
Liu Shi also said: "What do you want me to help with, you just say it, in the past, I only thought she was a good person, but I didn't notice it for a while, so that she succeeded for so many years, now that I know, there is no reason to appease, you can rest assured, although I can't come forward in person about the back house of Changning Houfu, but it may not be that I can't manage anything, although you say, as long as I can help you do it, I will definitely not shirk." ”
Liu's words are also affectionate and righteous, if others ask her for help, she will not agree to be so refreshing, even if the children of the Xie family look for her, she has to ask the reason, and then consider helping or not to help, but this granddaughter opened her mouth, Liu inevitably added some guilt that she had not taken care of over the years, and she didn't want to think about it, so she agreed, and her requests must be related to Xie's, Liu's squinted and thought, Changning Houyan Xiu can't manage her, but Xie's, she can still manage it.
Yan Zhaohua got Liu's permission and unfolded an innocent smile, this smile actually laughed at Liu's heart again, this child is the reincarnation of her Sister Wei, she didn't realize that her eyes were exactly the same as her Sister Wei, they were all pitch-black eyes, and a smile softened her heart like a crescent moon hanging high in the air.
With such a pair of eyes, let alone asking her to help deal with the Xie family, it is the stars in the sky, and the Liu family will find a way to get it for her now.
Of course, Yan Zhaohua didn't quite understand what Liu was thinking at this moment, she was just thinking about her own problem very purely, and after thinking about it, she said:
"There are two things, one is about my mother's dowry, I don't hide it from my grandmother, my wife has been holding it, even I want the dowry book, I am not coveting my mother's dowry property, I just think it should not fall into the hands of my wife, if she is very good to me and Brother Qian, I will say that she is not good to us, so where can I rest assured that she will take care of it? I'm young and don't know the accounts, can I ask my grandmother to send someone to teach me, and by the way, let your people accept my mother's dowry and let them take care of it for me and Brother Qian, I'm just a girl's family, but Brother Qian is the eldest son, if nothing else, he will be a knight in the future, to be careful, he can't be on the point of money...... I'm being pressed by my wife. ”
Yan Zhaohua's words are very heavy, that is, he has made up his mind to tear his face with Xie's face, and wants the Liu family to send someone to take care of the dowry for her, that is, to peel the skin on the Xie family, how much profit the Xie family has made on Xie Wei's dowry over the years, and you know a lot with your toes, and now if the Liu family sends someone to Yan Zhaohua and let Yan Zhaohua have the ability to take care of it himself, it will undoubtedly rob the Xie family of the tool of making money, and the Xie family does not hate her to death.
Liu hesitated for a moment, didn't say yes, didn't say no, just sighed and said, "What's the second thing?" Let's talk about it together. ”
Yan Zhaohua knew that she had to think about it for a while, so she didn't urge, lowered her head, took out two pieces of rags cut into the size of a handkerchief from her sleeve, handed them to Liu, and said:
"Before, I disposed of a maid who was serving in my yard, and I accidentally learned that she moved her hands and feet on my futon, I don't know what it was, but I always felt that it was wrong when I smelled it, so I asked someone to cut off a few pieces of the mattress, and this is it, can you ask my grandmother to find someone to see for me, what is the smell of it?"
Liu's expression was solemn, he looked at Yan Zhaohua, and asked the key: "That girl...... Is it your wife's person? ”
Yan Zhaohua nodded and said without concealment: "Yes." I just thought the quilt tasted strange, so I began to suspect that the maid, she used to take care of my bed, and only she could do the hands and feet on the quilt, so this mattress ......"
The next words, Yan Zhaohua didn't continue, but Liu Shi understood, stared at the fabric in his hand solemnly for a while, his heart was filled with anger again, handed the fabric to Gui Mama, and said:
"I'll send someone to investigate, and I'll sue you if I have the result. Now all you have to do is tell your grandmother, the maid who sleeps with you, do you know who she is? ”
Yan Zhaohua nodded: "Naturally, I know that the entire Changning Houfu knows that she is the person sent by my wife to serve me." ”
This sentence became the last straw that pressed the hesitation in Liu's heart, and after taking a deep breath, he said to Yan Zhaohua:
"I should go down this second thing, and the first thing ......" Liu's gaze stayed on the fabric in Gui's hand, and his voice became deeper and deeper, and said, "I should also go down." Wait for two days, I will send you a few reliable bookkeepers, when the time comes, you will be open, as the eldest daughter of your Yanfu, and your wife to ask for your mother's dowry, although you are young, but no one has stipulated, you can not take care of it when you are young, you can rest assured, I will send you will definitely be the master of auditing, accounting, and accounting, and hand it over to them, just as it is in my hands, you don't need to worry about any problems. ”
Yan Zhaohua was overjoyed, knowing that the Liu family could make a decision so quickly, and it was inseparable from the second thing she said before, the Liu family was still hesitating, whether to let her and the Xie family completely break up, but after hearing that the Xie family sent people to Yan Zhaohua, he immediately changed his mind.
"Yes, Zhaohua thanks to his grandmother. It's just that my father ...... there."
Although she is the eldest daughter of the Yan Mansion and has the right to ask for the dowry left by the former Mrs. Hou, the Xie family is not qualified to refuse, but she is afraid that she will join forces with Yan Xiu and cause unnecessary trouble when the time comes, so Yan Zhaohua feels that it is better to take precautions and explain some things clearly.
Liu also thought of this possibility, she was not at ease with Yan Xiu in the past, but the country valued him, Sister Wei liked him, even if she was not sure, she had to let Sister Wei marry in the past, there was no big mistake in Yan Xiu after marriage, and there was no great merit, and Xie Wei's death was a hard wound in Liu's heart, so, fundamentally, she, like Yan Zhaohua, did not trust Yan Xiu.
said: "Your father's place, I will also go to talk about it, you don't have to worry." Liu reached out and stroked Yan Zhaohua's white cheeks, and said lovingly: "I have made you suffer all these years. Now you can tell me what is happening in Changning Houfu these days, especially the matter of that maid, don't hide it, tell me word for word. ”
Where did Yan Zhaohua dare to hide it, he immediately suspected how he suspected Hongqu, and then designed Hongqu and Xie to turn against each other, Xie was annoyed and ashamed of Hongqu and killed him, and all of them told Liu, and the more Liu's eyes became darker, and he was silent for a long time.
