Volume 1, Chapter 108: Things Happen

Lian Dongfang checked them one by one, and finally found Aunt Chen's head. Aunt Chen repeatedly complained about injustice, but the evidence was complete, and it was useless for Aunt Chen to complain.

How Ma Chengteng didn't know what was wrong with this, the main messenger behind this scene must be Mo's. But then they even found a scapegoat, and Ma Chengteng remained silent.

didn't even care about it, and now it was almost dark, and immediately ordered the steward to send Aunt Chen to the family temple; and sold the mother-in-law who did not let Yueyao go to the front yard with twenty boards; The servants who blocked Dongqing from asking for a doctor were also beaten and sold; In addition, the two maids who spread rumors were also sold.

Lian Dongfang does these real called vigorous and resolute.

Ma Chengteng kept watching from the side and didn't make a sound. In less than an hour, the person behind the scenes was found. If the person found out is Mo's family, he will definitely have no second words, now find an aunt to come out and confess, and treat him as a fool.

However, Ma Chengteng also knew that it was already the limit for Lian Dong to pull out an aunt, and it was impossible for Lian Dong to push out the Mo family, otherwise Lian Dongfang's reputation would be over.

Ma Chengteng and the others disposed of all the people, and said with a smile: "I really didn't realize that Brother Dongbo acted so efficiently. The irony of this statement is too strong.

Lian Dongfang didn't seem to understand what Ma Chengteng meant: "If Brother Ma is still dissatisfied with something, just mention it, as long as I can do it, I must not have a word; But it is absolutely impossible to take %1%Ben%Read-Novel xstxt Yueyao to go to Mafu. ”

Ma Chengteng looked at Lian Dongfang's expression, although he was still full of anger now; But he also knew that he had no evidence for this matter, even if the mastermind behind the scenes was Mo's, but he couldn't do anything without evidence. At this time, I can only talk about the conditions: "After Qiqi, I will take Yueyao to live in Mafu." After that, I took Yueyao to live in Mafu for two or three months every once in a while, otherwise I wouldn't be at ease. ”

Lian Dong's color is black, but now it is Lian Fu's loss; In addition, Yueyao lives in Mafu for three or five months every year, which only proves that Yueyao and her uncle's family are related, and spreading it out does not hurt Lianfu much, and this condition is barely acceptable.

Ma Chengteng still has conditions: "In the future, I will send someone to see my niece every three or five days." After speaking, he didn't forget to add: "I don't know if my niece died of illness or was killed by popularity." "This child has bitterness and tears, and he swallows it in his stomach alone, and he doesn't tell him. Sending people to come over often to see, he also knew Yueyao's recent situation, and he didn't worry about such a thing again.

Lian Dongfang smiled and said, "Okay, I agree to what you say." Brother Ma, don't worry, that's my niece, and I will take good care of it. He also agreed to all the conditions proposed by Ma Chengteng, if he didn't agree, he wouldn't be able to do it, in case he really made trouble, it would be over. Mo had to implicate his two sons, which he couldn't agree to in any way.

Yue Yao was very surprised: "Aunt Chen, how can it be Aunt Chen?" "Mo Shi has already found a scapegoat, otherwise where would it be so fast.

Hao's mother nodded: "The master has already sent Aunt Chen to the family temple." Girl, it's impossible for the master to look any further. If you look further, you will find the eldest lady. "If you continue to investigate, you will have to implicate Mo's, once Mo's reputation is tarnished, it will damage the two sisters-in-law. Mo's biggest reliance is on his two sons, and the two sons are the hope of the family. This is the fundamental reason why my grandmother has not touched Mohs all this time; So Yue Yao didn't expect to bring down Mo Shi on this matter from the beginning, she knew very well that it was impossible. Unless Tingli and Tingyi are gone, no one can shake Mo's status.

Hao's mother was a little worried about Yueyao, how would the three girls gain a foothold in the mansion after this incident went out: "Girl, if you offend the eldest lady, you will not be able to move an inch in the mansion in the future." ”

Yue Yao chuckled: "She can't help me, I'm not from the big house." Even if Mo Shi doesn't have a face, he has to think about his children. "The Mo family can manipulate the life and death of the concubine to affect the fate of the concubine, as long as it doesn't cause any trouble, there will naturally be no gossip. But she is different, she is not a person from the big house, she is a person from the second room, even if she is temporarily attached to the big house, she still has the support of her uncle, and Mo Shi no longer dares to abuse her openly. With this incident, I dare not dare even more.

Mo's biggest reliance is a pair of sisters-in-law, and her biggest weakness is also a pair of sons. If her reputation is ruined, it is equivalent to ruining the future of her two sons. This is also the reason why Mo's found Aunt Chen as a scapegoat.

Ruolan smiled when she heard that her father-in-law had gone to Lian's house. The uncle's family is the biggest support for orphans, and she also relied on her mother's family back then. However, when she was bullied before, it was her grandmother who came forward. I can't see my uncle or cousin. Even when her uncle came forward later, it was all ordered by her grandmother, and she didn't have any dissatisfaction with her uncle, because these are all things in the inner house, and men can't work in general. Yueyao can let her father-in-law come forward, so it can be seen that Yueyao is loved by her father-in-law.

Ruolan asked, "Did my cousin send you a letter?" ”

Ma Peng was very angry: "No, it was Master Li who told my father." Dad didn't know about this before, and even the people in the family were really hateful, and they slandered their cousin like this. ”

Ruolan was a little surprised: "Could it be that my cousin told the people of the Li family?" "It's impossible, I'd rather ask for help from outsiders than from close relatives, Yueyao shouldn't do such a stupid thing.

Ma Peng shook his head: "I don't know how Lord Li knows, but I don't think it's possible for Yueyao to tell the Li family that she is not doing well in the Lian family." The Li family should have learned about it from other sources. In Ma Chengteng's cognition, Yueyao's closest relatives are naturally the Ma family, and the Li family is naturally an outsider compared to the Ma family.

Ruolan smiled and didn't answer.

Ma Chengteng sighed and said: "Yueyao, this child is too sincere, she doesn't tell us anything about it, and when she asks her, she says that everything is fine at Lianjia." Where is this good, such a terrible day. ”

Ruolan felt that Yueyao was very smart when she walked like this, and no one liked to listen to someone who was always complaining. Once or twice is fine, more will only be boring. Now Yueyao doesn't complain, but everyone knows it, but they will pity her even more. This kid is really smart.

When Ma Chengteng returned to Mafu, he found Ruolan and instructed Ruolan to send someone to visit Yueyao every few days in the future: "That child didn't tell us if he suffered, if Master Li hadn't told me this time, I wouldn't know." In the future, send someone over every two days to see, if Yueyao has suffered any grievances in the Lian family, you must tell me. "In the affairs of the inner courtyard, he is definitely not as careful as a woman. And where can men go to other people's backyards at will; At that time, if there is really something that needs to be dealt with by the daughter-in-law.

Ruolan responded: "Don't worry, father-in-law, I will let people visit my sister every two days." This look of concern is really like treating a daughter. No, it's better than to have a daughter; Ruolan didn't see Ma Chengteng so good to her sister-in-law.

Ma Chengteng is very satisfied with this daughter-in-law, smart, capable, dignified and decent. If the Cheng family had half of the daughter-in-law, it would not make the Ma Mansion like this. Thinking of this, Ma Chengteng couldn't help but shake his head again, forget it, what do you want her to do. Cheng is not in the mansion, and he has a quiet life.

Ruolan touched her stomach after waiting for Ma Chengteng to leave, and she recalled the scene of fighting wits and courage with her stepmother through Yueyao.

Caiyi was a little puzzled and wondered: "Why did you say that the eldest lady of the Lian family did this?" Mo's is just an aunt, not a stepmother, does this really make sense? "The reason why Caiyi didn't think about the dowry is very simple, the dowry has been handed over to Yue Yao, even if the family doesn't have face, they can't get this dowry, Yue Yao is gone, the Ma family can completely accept the dowry, this is where the law is placed, and no one will say a word when the Ma family takes back these dowries. So what is the eldest lady of the Lian family trying to do?

Caiyun shook his head: "Who can say clearly?"

Ruolan put her hands down, stood up, and walked around the yard. As he walked, he said: "There is no hatred in the world for no reason, and no one will harm people for no reason, whether it is for wealth or something, we will know later." ”

After Lian Dongfang waited for Ma Chengteng to leave, he let out bursts of cold air. He's never been so ashamed when he's grown up.

Lian Dongfang walked to the main room and saw Mo Shi who came up, and threw Mo Shi away, if it wasn't for the maid next to him who helped Mo Shi steady, Mo Shi would definitely fall to the ground.

Lian Dongfang said viciously: "How did the rumors spread? ”

Mo Shi looked at her husband's expression, and thought in her heart: "Master, I've been very busy lately, so I've been a little negligent." I really didn't know that Aunt Chen would be so bold. "If you admit that this matter has something to do with you, then Mohs is a fool.

Lian Dongfang sneered: "Do you really think I'm a fool and will believe that Aunt Chen did it?" You know who did it. ”

Mo Shi was shocked, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "Master, I don't understand what you mean?" "At this time, I can only pretend to be stupid.

Lian Dongfang snorted coldly: "You know the truth better than anyone else. If Tingzheng and Yueyao really have three longs and two shorts, Ma Chengteng can lift our family. Even the family has gained a reputation for killing people for money, and Li'er, Yi'er and Yuebing are all ruined. Think about it! Lian Dongfang was not a fool, he probably guessed the reason why Mo's did this; It's just that some things are known when you know them, and they taste bad when you say them.

Lian Dongfang didn't stop the Mo family from doing this, thinking that Yueyao's family had so much money, and when the time came, it would only be cheaper for the Shen family to marry. It's just that what makes Lian Dongfang angry is that the Mo family is too stupid, and he uses such a means to damage the reputation of the Lian family.

Moh's face turned pale.

Lian Dongfang didn't want to say more to Mo Shi: "Think about it yourself!" If there is a next time, don't blame me for not leaving you decent anymore. "If it weren't for the sake of his two sons this time, he wouldn't have been able to bypass Mo's. Of course, there is a more important reason, this cusp of the storm can never punish Mohs; Otherwise, it confirms that the rumors are true.

Mo Shi stared at the back of her husband's departure, with anger in her eyes and a hint of sadness. What is she doing this for, not for this family, otherwise she would have asked for all that money for nothing, and she would not have been able to eat and wear. But now he came to accuse her, how not to make her feel cold.

Mrs. Liu didn't dare to persuade her, so in order not to let the Mo family fall into grief all the time, she quickly changed the topic and made the Mo family feel comfortable: "Madam, do you say that if the Shen family knows the news, will they come to withdraw from the family?" ”

Mo sneered, "No." Not to mention that the Shen family does not dare to retreat now, the second child has saved Shen Qian's life, and the third girl has no matter how hard the life is, the Shen family does not dare to withdraw for the sake of fame, otherwise Shen Qian will have an ungrateful reputation, and Shen Qian's career will be over. It's okay not to quit your family, otherwise it will affect Yue Bing. "There is a cousin who has been divorced, and my daughter will also be affected.

Mrs. Liu nodded again and again, and Mrs. shifted her thinking.

Aunt Chen was sent to the family temple. Yueying was so frightened when she got the news: "Why did my father send my aunt to the family temple." "Could it be that Aunt Su chewed the root of her tongue in front of her father.

Cai Qing whispered the reason.

Yueying shook her head at the moment and said: "Impossible, this matter can't be done by my aunt, my aunt must be wronged, my aunt must be wronged." I'm going to find my dad. "Where does my aunt have the ability to spread rumors outside!

Cai Qing and Cai Lan couldn't stop the excited Yueying, so they could only follow behind. The two of them have a hunch that they will definitely be punished if they follow this time, but if they don't follow them, the punishment may be more serious, this is the sadness of being a maid.

Yueying was also scolded by Lian Dongfang, and then grounded.

Yueying cried profusely: "What should I do? "My aunt was sent away this time, and I don't know when I will come back.

No, she must think of a way to bring her aunt back.

Cai Lan muttered: "It's all the third girl's harm, if it weren't for the third girl, where would there be so many things." "No matter what happens in the mansion, the three girls pick it up, and that is a troublemaker. If it's wrong, it's a broom star, and whoever gets it will be unlucky.

Yueying stood up: "I'll go find the third sister." ”

Cai Qing stopped emotionally: "Girl, don't go." Girl, my lord has now forbidden your feet. If you go to the third girl now, you will add to the crime. ”

Cai Lan added oil to the side: "Girl, maybe it is the third girl's idea to send my aunt to the family temple." Otherwise, why would I send my aunt to the temple? "It was sent to Zhuangzi before.

Cai Qing scolded Cai Lan: "What do you say? This kind of thing can also be guessed. Passed out, be careful to hit the board again. "Fortunately, they were only fined a month's monthly silver, and if they hit one or twenty boards, they would have to die.

Cai Lan didn't dare to say any more.

In the end, under the persuasion of Cai Qing, Yueying did not go to Yueyao for the time being.

After the old lady's ritual was completed, Lian Dongfang sent the old lady's coffin back to her hometown in Qi County. Tingli and Tingyi also followed.

Yue Yao thought that it was only six days of work to go back and forth, so she asked Tingzheng to follow, which could be regarded as the last part of her heart. Lian Dongfang didn't want to take Tingzheng with him, the child was young and delayed the trip, but Yueyao said that she was doing her last filial piety for her grandmother, and she couldn't say anything.

Mo and others announced layoffs when they ran out of business; Naturally, it's time to cut back on expenses.

Yueyao didn't care about these things, because they had nothing to do with her. Lanxi Courtyard is full of her people, and Mo's cutting must be approved by her, but she won't let Mo's cut people. If Mo's insistence, she will raise herself.

Mo didn't talk to Yueyao about the cutting staff, but the sequelae of offending Mo began to be revealed, and the things that the old lady gave when she was there were not only good but also a lot; After the old lady passed away, the big kitchen began to slack off.

Hao's mother told Yueyao twice that this thing was getting worse and worse, and Yueyao replied to Hao's mother with just three words: "I know." And then there was no follow-up.

Hao's mother didn't say anything more, she knew that the third girl was not a soft master, and if she didn't look for trouble now, it must be that the third girl thought it was not time. I went to Madame for the sake of the current matter, and then Madame would have two fluttering words. Be sure to find something that carries weight.

The things delivered by the big kitchen are still good, and I can barely cope with the picking. This is also thanks to the fact that people from Mafu come to visit from time to time, and the people in the big kitchen are afraid that when the time comes, the people from Mafu will come to make trouble again, and he will have to follow him to eat, so he doesn't dare to go too far.

Don't dare to go too far with Yueyao, it doesn't mean that you will let go of the people of Lanxi Courtyard. All the maids and mothers-in-law in Lanxi Courtyard suffered, and the food sent over became more and more unpalatable; First there was cold rice and cold dishes, and then leftovers, and there was not a single piece of meat in the dish, and not a drop of oil could be seen.

Every time it was time to eat, the people in Lanxi Courtyard were complaining for days, but unfortunately everyone complained to Yueyao, and Yueyao didn't give them a head.

Yue Yao didn't come out, and the other stewards of the mansion began to follow suit. The monthly money is delayed and not given; The clothes that were supposed to be issued at that time were not distributed. As long as it is for the maid and wife of Lanxi Courtyard, it will be postponed.

Yueyao said to Hao's mother: "Just look at who is available in the yard and who can't." If you can't use it, you write it down. "When this thing is settled, she will send these people away. Those who can only share weal and woe cannot stay, such people are the easiest to betray the Lord.

On this day, Drizzle went to the sewing room to find them for needlework, but the people in the sewing room did not give it, and Drizzle had a big quarrel with them, and the next morning the maids ate all the food.

Hua Bud ran to complain to Yueyao, who was serving breakfast: "Girl, these people are too deceitful. The steamed buns sent over are all rancid, let us eat them. Pigs don't eat anything like that. What made the bud angry was that the girl listened but was not angry.

Yueyao was not angry, but asked Hua Bud to take a steamed bun and come over: "You take a bite and see if it's rancid." ”

The buds suddenly seemed to have coptis out, and they were full of bitterness from the inside out. Hua Bud looked at Yue Yao's flat eyes, her heart trembled, Hua Bud smiled in the past as if she had no heart or lungs, but she was actually very afraid of Yue Yao in her heart. didn't dare to be sloppy at the moment, honestly listened to Yueyao's words, took a small bite of the steamed bun, chewed it twice, and swallowed it ruthlessly.

Yue Yao looked at the steamed bun with tooth marks and said, "Put it on the plate." ”

Hua Bud was shocked, thinking that Yueyao was going to eat: "Girl, you can't eat it, you will get sick." ”

Drizzle was also so frightened that she knelt on the ground: "Girl, it's all my fault." It's that I shouldn't have quarreled with them. "At least the food I ate before didn't taste bad, but this time it was clear that she came to fix them because she went to make trouble. Hao's mother has already said that the steward of the sewing room and the steward of the big kitchen are one family.

Yueyao and Hua Bud eat differently, his breakfast is an egg, a dish of anthocyanin stew, a bowl of millet porridge, and a cup of goat's milk. These are all made by the cook, and they don't eat in a big kitchen. Of course, even if Yue Yao ate something from the big kitchen, none of those people would dare to give Yue Yao a steamed bun with a changed taste.

It's one thing to bully the maid below, and it's another thing to bully the master. The people in the mansion also took a sense of proportion.

Yueyao said while peeling the egg, "Put it on the table!" She said that she didn't say that she had put it on the table for herself, and she didn't have a problem with her brain, so she ran to eat the steamed buns. These girls are over-the-topping.

Hao's mother laughed and scolded beside her: "Even if the girl wants to eat, it is impossible to eat what you have gnawed." Where is the usual ingenuity? ”

Yueyao also felt that the buds had become stupid, and she had been tossed enough to be choked during this time, and her brain was not good, so she had to understand: "Get up!" Let me finish this breakfast with peace of mind. ”

Yueyao had breakfast and went into the study to practice calligraphy.

Hua Bud and Qiao Lan thought that Yueyao would give them a head start for this matter, but they didn't expect the girl to retract again, cough, pointing to the girl means that they can't be relied on. They can only bear it.

Hao's mother checked the dishes sent over this day, and entered the study with an ugly face: "Girl, the things sent from the big kitchen are not fresh at all. People are now stopped by me. ”

Yue Yao put down the brush in her hand and walked out. When I saw the vegetables sent over, there were many small holes with yellow.

Yue Yao saw a few caterpillars and looked at them very seriously.

The cook directly said that she couldn't do it. The cook is a person in the mansion, and Yueyao also has the identity of her family; In addition, although the monthly silver has decreased, Yueyao still made up for her, and the cook has no complaints.

Yue Yao couldn't help laughing: "The people in the kitchen are now getting better and better at purchasing. Such a good dish was bought. "This kind of vegetable is fed to pigs.

Hao's mother looked at Yueyao's appearance and knew that the girl was really going to make a move. She knew that the third girl would not swallow her anger, but she didn't know that the third girl's forbearance was too good, and she was only ready to attack today.

The mother-in-law who delivered the food was a little furious when she saw Yueyao's demeanor, and everyone knew that Yueyao asked Yahuan to beat the doorkeeper; The kitchen steward sent her to be this errand is really a cheater, there is no way, no matter how tricky people are, they have to take the anger of the third girl.

The mother-in-law stubbornly said, "Girl, now that the vegetables outside are expensive, it's good to be able to buy these." ”

Yueyao ignored the mother-in-law who delivered the food, and turned back to the house. asked Hao's mother, who followed up: "How many people in the mansion have redeemed themselves?" "The so-called layoffs are actually ransomes for these people; If they are all sold, they will not have a good reputation.

Hao's mother found out the situation of the mansion clearly: "Eleven families have redeemed themselves; The lady took the initiative to let sixteen families out, and gave them the grace that was not worth any money; In addition, more than a dozen people were sent to Zhuangzi. All the subordinates in the mansion now add up to about 100 people. After a pause, he said, "Girl, these people don't include Lanxi Courtyard. ”

In the mansion, except for the eldest lord and the people in Lanxi Courtyard, they didn't move; The other courtyards have understood, and even the Mo family has also lost nearly half of the people.

Yue Yao chuckled: "Most of these people who are released are people who are used by grandmother, right?" "These old men have served the old lady and given Mo a lot of face; Once a son of heaven and a courtier, a wise person sees the opportunity to go out and naturally hurry to redeem himself; Those who were not clever were also kicked away by Moh.

Hao's mother nodded: "Girl, most of these people are used by the old lady." There are also some who are idle and have no skills. ”

Yueyao talked to Hao's mother for a long time, and went back to the bedroom to change her clothes. Said to the surprised bud and Qiaolan: "Go to the main room." "In addition, let Hua Bud and Qiao Lan bring the rancid steamed buns and some rotten vegetable leaves.

Hua Bud and Qiao Lan glanced at each other, and the joy they saw from each other. The two said in unison, "Okay." "My own girl is going to be powerful.

Thinking that her own girl is going to be powerful, Hua Bud is not even afraid of that nasty bug.
