5. Chapter 5

Mama Lian and Qingqiu supported each other and followed Xie Liangying into the house. Without the cold wind blowing, the two of them felt much better, but the coolness on their bodies could not be dissipated in a while, and they were still shivering.

Xie Liangying couldn't look at it, after serving her for many years, she ordered Qingxia to call someone to get them clean new clothes.

The little maids who were waiting in the courtyard had long been frightened by the battle just now, and they all hid far away. When he saw Qingxia coming out, he thought he was going to ask himself to eat and hang, but he was so panicked that he didn't dare to approach. Barely a few of them were bolder, went up and listened to the instructions, knowing that they were getting clothes for Mama Lian and Qingqiu, and a big stone fell in their hearts, and they hurriedly went to their house, for fear that they would be caught and beaten a moment later.

Mama Lian and Qingqiu took the clothes from Qingxia's hands, and after changing their heads behind the screen, they pushed each other out. Standing ten steps away from Xie Liangying, it seemed as if once Xie Liangying made a move, they would be able to run away immediately.

Xie Liangying took a sip of tea, and glanced at them. Seeing that the two were secretly staring at each other, they were speculating about what they would do next. She quietly closed the lid of the tea bowl, and when the room was quiet, she slammed a bowl of gold-painted white bone china bowl with tea juice under the feet of the two of them.

The pale green tea soup splashed on their shoes with the tea residues, and the tea juice soaked through the satin and wetted the cotton lining. Because it's not very hot, it's not a big deal, but the satin surface of the shoes has tea stains, which don't look so good. The broken porcelain scattered at his feet looked a little scary.

Mama Lian had the courage to peek at Xie Liangying, and saw that the girl she had been serving now had a gloomy face, and there was a little calm in it, without the slightest recklessness in the past. Xie Liangying grew up under her watch, and when she was still an infant, she was sent by the Yan family to serve. It can be said that Xie Liangying blinked her eyes, and even Mama knew what she was thinking. But tonight's appearance of this girl made Lian Mama feel completely unfamiliar, without the slightest sense of familiarity in the past. From this, she finally determined that Xie Liangying's temperament had changed drastically-this was just speculation among the people.

Xie Liangying snorted coldly, "Don't think that if you splash dirty water on my mother, I will be able to spare you." What do you think I'm calling you in? It's just that I'm afraid that you will be so loud outside that people will listen to it, and they will think that it is really my mother who has done something. She glanced at Qingxia, "Go and close the door." ”

Qing Xia silently received the order.

Xie Liangying watched with satisfaction as Qing Xia followed his orders without saying a word, and said in his heart, no wonder Qing Xia was able to get Xue Jian's blue eyes in his previous life, and finally matched his own three stewards. There are few people around me who can be of great use, and occasionally there is a Qingxia, which naturally shows up.

She set her eyes on Mama Lian and Qingqiu, who were as quiet as a cicada, and groaned in her heart.

Xie Liangying is not a person who does not remember kindness, otherwise he would not have been pinched by the Xie family in his previous life to get to that point. Even Mama and Qingqiu have been by her side for so many years, and they may not remember the small things, but the big things are still in their hearts. She remembered very well that after Mama Lian was engaged to Xue Jian, she was sent to Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing by the Yan family on the grounds of old age. At that time, I cried a lot.

And what about Qingqiu...... Xie Liangying slowly raised her eyes, glanced at her, and lowered it again.

Qingqiu, who was in her previous life, finally hooked up with her lobby brother, was accepted into the room, and fascinated the lobby brother, and had a tendency to spoil concubines and kill his wife. Because of this incident, the eldest aunt and her mother fell out. The two of them had their own words, and neither of them could say anything about the other, and the two never said a word again. However, the good times did not last long, and Qingqiu, who was found to be pregnant, died of excessive blood loss due to miscarriage before her mother could rely on her child.

I don't know if Qingqiu is hooking up with his own drunken girl in the lobby now.

Xie Liangying retracted her thoughts and said word by word: "I'll give you one last chance, if you don't tell the truth again and try to put the blame on the master, don't blame me for not remembering the old feelings." If you are greedy for things and benefit your family, I will not just tie you up, but I will not let go of my family. ”

The tone was not heavy, but the majesty contained in it made Mama Lian and Qingqiu tremble.

Xie Liangying can still sit in the Yunyang Hou Mansion in the end, and she still has a hand in handling family affairs, but she doesn't know her mind when she goes to the Xie family. After being reborn, he knew what was going on, so he naturally didn't mince words about the Xie family, and put everything he would have done in his previous life on them.

When Mama Lian heard that the disaster had affected her family, her body was weak and paralyzed on the ground, and she couldn't stop saying: "Girl Mingjian, no matter how bold the old slave is, he doesn't dare to take the master's things out and sell them privately." Madame told us to do it. ”

Qingqiu, who was so frightened that he knelt down together, nodded his head incessantly, and tears fell down.

"Oh? Since you said that your mother asked you to do it, then you should tell me what is the reason why your mother did this. If she really wants something, why don't she come and ask me for it in person, will I still be reluctant to make it happen. Xie Liangying's eyebrows raised, "It's just nonsense!" ”

Mama Lian had to tell the story as it was, "In fact, a few years ago, the family couldn't make ends meet. In order to make the family look decent, the old lady had to take out her own body to subsidize it. I wanted to ask the eldest lady to take out the dowry, but the eldest lady was stunned and didn't agree. The old lady was worried that if she insisted on asking for the eldest lady's dowry, it would be difficult for the Wei family to explain it. The second lady has always been a pixiu person, she only goes in and can't leave, and it is more difficult to take things out of her hands than to ascend to the sky. She is a broken personality again, won't she make a fuss when the time comes. ”

Xie Liangying looked at Mama Lian and analyzed her words in her heart.

Of course, what Mama said was true, and she dared to say anything at this time in order to save her life.

"Only Madame is the niece of the old lady, but if the old lady says, Madame will not dare to disobey. It's just that there are dozens of people in the Xie family, where can Mrs. Guang eat alone. Since last year, there has not been much left of the lady's dowry. In desperation," Mama Lian gritted her teeth, and continued, "Madame thought of taking some valuable rewards from the girl, because it was an official thing in the palace, and it was difficult to sell it, so she had to dismantle or sell the gems on it or give it as a gift, and melt the gold to save the momentary emergency." ”

Even Mama kowtowed, and blood stains were faintly visible on her forehead, "What the old slave said is all true, the girl must believe me." ”

Xie Liangying didn't eat this, and sneered: "I believe that you have a lot, otherwise how can I give you the key to the treasury for safekeeping." Thou hast broken thy faith in me, so how shall I believe thee? Don't talk about the side, just thank the family. If the family is really having a hard time, why don't the things in my house and my wife's room be missing? Where can you see that there is anything wrong. ”

Even Mama said: "It's not easy to sell big things, and people who are familiar with them when they take them out will know that they belong to the Xie family." Isn't this exactly what the old lady thought? The two who served in the same room were too young to tell the difference. In fact, three years ago, the charcoal used at home was not as good as in the past. In the past, most of them took the medium silver bone charcoal and firewood charcoal obtained by the old men in the family to exchange for the high-grade silver bone charcoal, but now they are all third-class silver bone charcoal mixed with chrysanthemum carbon. Because there is no smoke, it is not recognizable. The girl may have forgotten that three years ago, the second lady had a few troubles because of charcoal, but they were all pressed down by the old lady, so that she could use it herself if she had money. Where did the second lady have that money, so she had to rest. The older members of the family knew about it, and the girl could have asked. ”

Xie Liangying got up and walked around the room, seemingly casually reaching out and touching the hanging gauze tent, which did feel rougher and thinner than in the past. The silk worn on the body did not feel when I didn't pay attention to it in the past, but now that I know the inside story, I touch it again, and it is indeed not as good as the material I wore in the past. Silk is used less, and it is not as thick as it used to be.

Xie Liangying sighed in her heart, it seems that the Xie family has actually begun to lose a long time ago. In this way, you can understand why my grandfather is in a hurry to make a fortune from the dragon, and the new emperor must be rewarded lavishly when he ascends the throne, which is enough to make up for the loopholes of the Xie family.

It's just that now the emperor is in good health and has no intention of making a prince. Unless he leads the army to force the palace, it is still very early for the prince to ascend the throne. When he died in his previous life, the emperor was still alive and well. If this is the case, then why is the dowry of himself and his sister so huge, and there is no trace of the Xie family's ruin. Where did the Xie family get all this dowry money from? Although most of the men in the Xie family are officials, they are all noble positions, and they have never been sent abroad, where do they get 100,000 snowflakes of silver to squander.

Pile by pile, the truth that has been learned is contrary to what he knew in his previous life, Xie Liangying's mind is a little chaotic, and he doesn't know which one he should believe.

Maybe...... Her rebirth was a dream. And these are all fake, and now they are just dreams.

Seeing that Xie Liangying didn't speak, Mama Lian and Qingqiu breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, feeling that their cheap lives had been saved. But soon, Xie Liangying's question made them worry again.

"Mother...... When did you get to take things from my treasury and exchange them for money? Xie Liangying's eyes gradually became empty, "Sister...... There, is it the same as me, ......?"

Mama Lian replied honestly: "The sixth girl doesn't know there, but she thinks it's not much different from the girl." Madame asked me to go with Qingqiu after last year, so that we could steal things and give them to her. After hesitating for a long time, he finally said the last thing, "Madame allowed us, as long as we stole one thing, she would give me and Qingqiu two taels of silver." ”

Xie Liangying lowered his eyes and said silently: "Those things, I'm afraid you have dozens of taels in your hands now." If you save some more, you will be able to redeem yourself and get out of the house. ”

Qingqiu cried: "The girl spared us this, Qingqiu was confused for a while, and I won't dare next time." ”

Xie Liangying turned to look at the two of them, and was about to say something when there was a knock on the courtyard door.

"Fifth girl, Madame has come to see you."
