Volume 1, Chapter 100: The Ungiveable Promise
Yue Yao looked at Mo's ugly face and sneered in her heart, but she was also vigilant in her heart. This woman is very greedy and wants everything, even if the moon ring helps her make more money, it is estimated that she will not give up the money in her hand. Such people should not be taken lightly at any time.
Mo was furious in his heart. Now there is only a big house, what is the body. It's just a matter of splitting the body, and it's even handed over to the child for safekeeping. The old lady did this to show that she didn't trust her, and the old lady was slapping her in the face in front of everyone.
Where does the old lady still have the energy to care about Mo's thoughts now. After the old lady finished dividing the things, she said to Lian Dongfang: "Boss, the people in my courtyard have also served me for so many years, and if they are willing to leave, they will return their deeds, and each person will give one hundred taels of silver; If you don't leave, treat it well, after all, you will serve me. β
couldn't even speak Dong Fang's words, and choked up: "Mother, I know, these sons will be dealt with properly." Don't worry about it, it's important to take care of your body. β
The maid who was standing in the room listened to the old lady's words, knelt on the ground and said in unison, "Thank the old lady for her grace." "As for whether to go or stay, everyone has their own plans in their hearts.
The old lady glanced at everyone: "Boss, let them all go back!" The people present were all interested in hearing this, this is the old lady who wants to confess to the eldest master.
Everyone went out, but no one went away and waited outside the house, although it was hot, everyone! One! Root! Read! The novel xstxt stood for a while with beads of sweat on his forehead, but no one walked away.
Yuehuan couldn't help but glance at Yueyao, Yueyao was very calm, and nothing could be seen from her face at all. Yuehuan couldn't help but admire in her heart, she was really a calm girl. She knew that part of the money in her grandmother's hands belonged to the second room, so would Yueyao not know? Obviously, Yueyao knew. But people have to admire that they are so calm when they know it.
Through Aunt Su's story this year and what she saw, Yuehuan was very sure that the Mo family would not give up the huge amount of money in Yueyao's hands. This is the case in this life, and it must be the same in the previous life. But why is Yueyao not resentful. Yuehuan said to herself: "How deep is this thought! β
The old lady is already at the end of her strong crossbow, and her physical strength is a little overdrawn when she said this just now, her expression is very tired, and her business is naturally much lower: "Fang'er, the Lian family will rely on you to support you in the future, and you can't let the Lian family decline in your hands." The old lady would never speak ill of Mo in front of her son, because she knew very well that her son was not a stupid person, and he knew what was going on in the mansion. But the old lady knew that the eldest son's actions were a bit extreme, and those who were too obsessed were easy to get into the horns.
Lian Dongfang nodded and said, "Mother, don't worry, the Lian family will definitely not fall in my hands." "Even if he can't restore the glory of his grandfather, he won't let the Lian family decline.
Even the old lady said again and again that it was good, that was good, and after finishing speaking, she took out a small box from under the pillow and said: "Here is the property I have purchased over the years, and the contract is in it, and there are also 100,000 taels of silver you brought back from Jiangnan; You can use these coins to buy a property together, and the mansion will be more relaxed in the future. The old lady handed over all the properties she had purchased, as well as her own land and shop, to Lian Dongfang, and left nothing behind.
Even Dong Fang's tears came out and cried: "Mother, the family still depends on you at the helm, you can't have anything to do, mother, you will definitely be able to survive this difficulty!" β
The old lady shook her head and said, "I know my own body, okay, I won't say much else, you can do it in your heart." There are still some things in the house, you can clean them up after I leave, you go out and let Yueyao in, I have something to say to her. β
Lian Dongfang wiped a handful of tears when he turned around, and his face returned to calm before he left the house, so that people could not see the change in mood.
Yue Yao looked at Lian Dongfang and felt that he had overdone it. My own mother is seriously ill and may die soon, even if she cries.
Lian Dongfang said to Yue Yao: "Yue Yao, you go in and talk to the old lady." After speaking, he said to his wife and children: "You all go back first." "The old lady's spirit is not very good, and talking to Yueyao is probably at the top.
Mo Shi glanced at Yue Yao, then at the door, and went back with Yue Bing and the maid mother-in-law. Yuehuan also followed Aunt Su back.
After a while, there was only a moon in the courtyard.
The old lady looked at Yue Yao who walked in, Yue Yao was very calm, very calm, so calm that she didn't seem to take what had just happened to heart. The old lady finally didn't calm down, and asked, "Yueyao, are you blaming your grandmother for the unfair division of property?" "This granddaughter knew that Yueyao was smart when she was a child, because her son was proud to always say that he had such a daughter, but she felt that it was inappropriate. The girl's family is actually too smart, it's not good, there is a saying in the Buddhist family that wisdom will hurt. She didn't dare to see the appearance of this child when he first came back, but then he slowly got better, but this improvement made her start to worry. In the past, Yueyao was smart and exposed, but now this child has restrained himself, which is incomprehensible.
Yueyao has experienced the things of her previous life, and she knows very well that there is no absolute fairness in this world, and if you want to be fair, it depends on whether you are qualified or not, and whether you have the ability. Obviously, she is not qualified, because she is a woman, and it is already the biggest concession for grandmother to hand over her mother's dowry to her, Yueyao pretended not to understand and asked: "Grandmother, I don't understand what you mean?" β
The old lady allowed Yueyao to pretend to be stupid and stunned, and said with a wry smile: "Yueyao, I know that your father sent back a lot of silver, and now this silver will be left to the big house." Grandmother knows that you think I'm unfair in your heart. β
Just now, Yueying just showed her unwillingness; Although the moon ice and the moon ring are very unexpected, they are more of a surprise; And Tingzheng was indifferent because she was too young; But Yue Yao's performance was too calm, not sad or happy, and this expression has not changed until now. If you don't know, it's fine, but you obviously know and are indifferent, which makes the old lady a little confused.
Yue Yao didn't want to lie and said: "I only blame God for being so ruthless in letting my father and mother go so early, if my father and mother were still here, Tingzheng and I would not become fatherless and motherless orphans." β
The old lady sighed slightly: "Grandmother knows what you think, but grandmother can only tell you that grandmother must do this." "The old lady in the mansion knows very well that she has barely maintained her expenses over the years, and if this money is not filled into the public school, I am afraid that the mansion will soon be overstretched. Although this money belongs to the second room, there are two children in the second room, and Yueyao not only has the silver left to her by her son but also the dowry of the Ma family, which is enough for Yueyao's sisters and brothers to spend for a lifetime. But the big house is different, the big house is a long house, it is the future of the family, and the big house has many children and grandchildren, so she can only do this for the sake of the family and her sons and grandchildren.
Yueyao glanced at the old lady and said, "Grandmother, I know, when my father gave me the money that day, he told me that the silver was put into the public middle school, and it has nothing to do with me. Grandmother, I didn't take it to heart. If you have enough money, you can't take it away after the New Year's greetings. "Yue Yao has experienced a lifetime and knows what her father means by handing over these things to her uncle, her father knows his brother too well. As long as she gives up her money, she will be able to live well with her sister and brother Tingzheng in the big house. It's just that her father left a sum of money for their siblings just in case.
Yue Yao didn't value money, and she had long known that it wouldn't reach her. Why bother to take the result to heart when you know it early, it's just to add trouble to yourself in vain.
The old lady looked at Yueyao and couldn't help but think of her youngest son, the youngest son is very filial, and when he works outside, he will not only give a lot of gifts back every year, but also give her 10,000 taels of silver every year. Over the years, she did not say that the money given by Dong Bo was delivered to the public middle school, but saved it to buy a property. The property she purchased before and the money sent back by the second child this time are enough to improve the tight finances in the Lian Mansion. She didn't take out the money if she didn't take it out, but she also wanted to see what Mo's would do. It's just that the result worries her.
Yueyao was very calm about the old lady's gaze.
Yueying stood in the hallway outside, looking at the main room. Qiao Lan stood guard at the door, just not letting anyone in and disturbing the people talking inside.
A gust of wind blew, and Cai Lan, who was standing beside Yueying, felt refreshed all over. It's a pity that Yueying was bored at this time, and then she listened to the tree and screamed, and became more and more irritable, and said to the maid: "Grandmother wants to recuperate, I can't stand this noise." β
Cai Lan said softly: "Girl, come into the house, it's hot outside." "She was so hot that she didn't know why her own girl could hold it.
Yueying is not a money-lover, but she is worried about the future. She already knew that the Yao family was not rich, and her fiancΓ© was the second son of the concubine, and he would not be able to share much money in the future, so he might have to rely on her dowry in the future. There is a share of the dowry in the marriage of the concubine, and the grandmother gives an additional subsidy. But now the dowry is so much less than that of Yuebing Yueyao, why? Is it because you are a concubine? She has been serving her grandmother so hard these days that she has lost weight, and she didn't think that her grandmother would give her extra subsidies, but the dowry she gave her was the same as the moon ring, how could she be calm. She thought the old lady would be different to her. Now it seems that no matter how hard she does, in the eyes of her grandmother, she is like the moon ring.
Under the persuasion of the two maids, Yueying did not continue to wait in the corridor after all, turned around and entered the house, and Cai Lan suggested opening the jewelry of the two boxes to take a look.
Yueying opened it with her own hands and looked at the two boxes full of jewelry, each of which was worth a lot of money. Yueying's eyes lit up, but thinking that there was less than half of the jewelry than Yue Bing and Yue Yao, her expression darkened. She felt very uncomfortable, and even the difference between her family and her concubines was too great, not only in the dowry, but also in the marriage. Yue Bing doesn't know yet, but what Yue Yao said is beyond her reach.
In the room, the old lady looked at Yue Yao, who was surprisingly quiet, and suddenly said, "Three girls, you promise grandmother one thing." Even the old lady suddenly felt a worry when she remembered Zheng's mother, and she didn't even know that Zheng's mother was bought by the Mo family, how did Yueyao know
The old lady was worried that it was not how Yueyao got the news, but that it could be seen from this incident that Yueyao's city government, she always thought that Yueyao was very pure but she didn't expect that this was not the case, this girl had been scheming. It's not a small fight to seek a little profit, but a plot against Mohs.
The old lady is very clear about Mo's temperament, and she is greedy, if Mo's face is torn apart to plot Yueyao's family wealth, will this child's intelligence give up? Definitely not. But who was the last victim of the battle between Mo and Yueyao? The answer is self-evident, it is Lianjia.
Yue Yao was stunned and said, "Grandmother, you say." β
The old lady looked at Yueyao, she knew very well about Mother Zheng's affairs, but she shouldn't have been with her for so long. This means that Yue Yao actually doesn't believe her and is wary of her, otherwise she wouldn't have done so many things without telling her: "Yue Yao, promise your grandmother not to do anything that is harmful to the reputation of the Lian family." β
Yue Yao looked at the old lady, she couldn't give this promise. It is true that the old lady loves herself, but what she cares more about is the family, the court rites and the court rites. If she harms the interests of the Lian family and Tingli, the first person who can't tolerate her is the old lady.
Yue Yao didn't want to deceive the old lady, and she didn't want to promise the old lady, so she could only say tactfully: "If the big house can't accommodate me and Ting Zheng in the future, I will move out with Ting Zheng." β
The old lady blurted out: "No, you must not move out to live." "If Yueyao moves out before she gets married, how will outsiders think of Fang'er? How to see Lianjia?
Yue Yao didn't back down and said: "Grandmother, Niang Tuomeng told me that Mo's snake and scorpion are heart-wrenching and eat people without spitting out bones, what kind of calculation Mo's heart is playing Grandmother should also know it in her heart." Grandmother, she is an elder, and if she wants to calculate me, then I am in a very passive position. Grandmother, I don't want to have a conflict with her, so I really can't leave when the time comes, and leaving is the best way. β
Yue Yao also wanted to take revenge at first, but the reality of the situation made her very clear that she couldn't take revenge for the time being. With her current lack of ability, if she takes revenge, she will definitely have to pay for herself, she still has a lot to do, and it is not worth it to ruin the opportunity given by God for the sake of the Mo family. And the biggest responsibility for what happened to me in my previous life lies with myself, and it lies in believing in the wrong person. Now that she doesn't give Mo this opportunity, what can Mo do to her? However, if she can find an opportunity to take revenge on Mo, she will not be relentless.
The old lady said categorically: "Yueyao, if you follow Tingzheng to leave the Lian Mansion, what will outsiders say about your uncle at that time?" What do you think of Lianjia? At most, you will marry into the Shen family in seven years, and Ting Zheng can also let him move out if he has a weak crown ceremony. "Yueyao and Ting are Fang Er's nephews and nieces, if they are allowed to live outside, Fang Er will not say that they are officials in the court, and they don't even have to be people.
Yueyao said without relenting: "Grandmother, I naturally don't want to live outside if I can stay in the mansion." But if I can't stay any longer, I'll leave with Tingzheng. Yueyao directly ignored marrying into the Shen family, she would not marry into the Shen family, and she would not marry into the Shen family if she did not marry in her life.
Seeing Yueyao's expression of not letting go, the old lady said, "What if your eldest aunt and eldest aunt don't let you leave?" Speaking of this, the old lady suddenly realized that Yue Yao was not called the eldest aunt at all just now, and directly called Mo's name, and the old lady's face changed greatly.
Yue Yao looked at the old lady and didn't answer, it was naturally best to leave Lian Mansion safely and smoothly at that time, and she didn't want to make anything unpleasant, after all, deep down in her heart, she didn't want the Lian family to be as ruined as in her previous life. In that way, her father would not be at ease underground, and even the ancestors of the family would not spare her.
If you talk about the previous life, she cherished the Lian family very much, and she didn't want the Lian family to fall, let alone damage the reputation of the Lian family; But in this life, she never had such thoughts again. As long as Lian's family is not defeated in her hands, not because her reputation is damaged, and her conscience is not overcome, she will not care. If Mo didn't let her leave and tried to plot against her, she wouldn't be caught. In order to live and live well, she doesn't mind tearing her face, and she doesn't hesitate to force the fish to die and break the net.
The old lady looked at Yueyao's unconcealed hatred and fierceness, and the waves were stormy. The old lady used to only think that Yueyao had grown up and was sensible; Now I found out that this girl has been hiding herself for so long, as if the cheetah has been hiding herself and pretending to be a tame cat, and she was really deceived by her appearance, thinking that she was a tame cat.
The old lady seriously thought about when Yueyao began to change, yes, it started to change from the second daughter-in-law's dream.
The old lady grabbed Yueyao's arm and said, "Yueyao, you tell grandmother, what did your mother say to you?" What did your mother tell you? "It is absolutely impossible for the second daughter-in-law to dream and just say that the ancient woman has different intentions, and the Mo family has ill intentions. The second daughter-in-law must have said something else, otherwise it would be impossible to make Yueyao's temperament change greatly.
Yue Yao quickly restrained her emotions and said, "Grandmother has thought too much, and I told my grandmother everything Niang Tuomeng said." "No more Yueyao didn't say anything.
The old lady felt very tired, she hadn't noticed anything unusual about this child for so long, and it was definitely impossible to get something out of Yueyao. This child obviously has a successful calculation, and if Mo wants to calculate, she will definitely steal chickens and rice, and said: "Yueyao, promise grandmother not to do anything unfavorable to the Lian family." β
Yueyao looked at the pleading in the old lady's eyes, she was also very uncomfortable, thinking that Dr. Tang said that the old lady's time was short, and she couldn't refuse ruthlessly; But if she had to say yes, she couldn't. As long as she thinks of that desperate day, Yue Yao has nightmares, she has been deliberately forgetting, but the things carved into the depths of her bones can't be forgotten at all. In the middle of the night, she always thought that she was back in the past, back to the days when life was worse than death.
The old lady still wanted to speak, but Yueying said outside: "Grandmother, Doctor Tang is here." "Grandmother said she wouldn't let people in, and she didn't dare let them in.
The old lady didn't respond, but Yue Yao didn't want to continue the topic anymore and said, "Grandmother, Doctor Tang is here, let the doctor diagnose your pulse!" Yueyao never thought Yueying's voice was so pleasant.
Yue Yao felt Yue Ying's inquiring gaze and suddenly smiled, she thought it was a coincidence, it turned out that Yue Ying had other thoughts. I'm afraid that Yueying thinks that her grandmother has privately subsidized her, so she hurried in to find out. Yue Yao chuckled, yes, everyone in the mansion has their own plans.
Seeing Yue Yao's empty hand, Yue Ying didn't know why her heart suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't know why, she knew it shouldn't be, but she just couldn't help thinking about it.
Yueying stayed to take care of the old lady, and Yueyao went back to Lanxi Courtyard when she saw that there was nothing to do with herself. Walking on the road, Yueyao had a sad face.
Hua Bud whispered comfortingly: "Girl, don't be sad. Hua Bud thought that Yueyao was sad about the old lady's illness.
Yue Yao didn't speak.
