194 Shelter
After Yueyao met Gu's mother, she was obviously in a wrong mood. Yue Yao herself realized that her behavior was inappropriate, so she entered the small Buddha hall.
Xiang Wei is very strange, since it is a traitor, what is there to worry about. Why is Yueyao in such a low mood.
Hao's mother explained on the side: "Miss Xiang Wei, the girl used to be very old mother, and the things in the yard were taken care of by Gu mother. Even if Gu's mother betrayed the girl, the girl still didn't forget the old love. "Mother Gu's meaning, Yueyao is a person who values love.
Xiang Wei was noncommittal.
At the beginning of the unitary period, Lian Dongfang took Yueyao to Li's house.
The subordinates of the Li family led the two to the living room of the Li family, and Li Guoxun was unwilling to let Lian Dongfang talk about it in his study.
Lian Dongfang arrived in the living room and saw that Ma Chengteng was already waiting, and stepped forward immediately: "Brother Ma." It doesn't matter if he turns his face with Li Guoxun, it is a grudge that the two have accumulated since childhood, but he has always had a good relationship with Ma Chengteng, and he doesn't want to turn his face yet.
Ma Chengteng glanced at Lian Dongfang coldly and said, "Brother Li said that you want to take away the money that Dongbo stored in his hands?" Ma Chengteng was originally dissatisfied with the Lian family, and now he is even more dissatisfied.
Lian Dongfang immediately said: "Brother Ma misunderstood, I just want to get back our family heirloom." The money was naturally handed over to Yueyao. "There must be a lot of money to be deposited here in Li Guoxun, if you don't have a little thought, it's impossible, but what he wants most is that list. Money is secondary, it is naturally good to be able to get it, and it is not forced to get it.
Ma Chengteng sneered and said, "If there is really your family heirloom in the box, you can take it from inside, but the money in it cannot be touched, and it is more appropriate to put this money here with Brother Li." Wait for Yueyao and Ting Zheng to get married in the future. If you don't worry about me and Master Li, then you add a lock, and you will keep the lock. "Ma Chengteng will not let Lian Dongfang get this money. This couple is extremely shameless, and it is not a meat bun in their hands to beat a dog.
Lian Dongfang shook his head and said, "I don't need the key, just give it to Yueyao and let her keep it herself!" ”
Yue Yao was a little surprised to see Li Guoxun wearing court clothes.
Li Guoxun walked out and said to the two, "Brother Ma, bring the key!" Check to see if the box contains a family heirloom. After he finishes reading it, I will go to the yamen. ”
Ma Chengteng nodded, took out a key from his sleeve and opened the box.
Even Dong Fang stared at the contents of the box without blinking. When he saw that there was only a silver ticket and a beaded chain in the box, his pupils shrank.
Ma Chengteng looked at Lian Dongfang's expression and sneered: "You don't think that Brother Li and I have already unlocked the lock and hidden the heirloom treasures of your Lian family, right?" ”
Li Guoxun said coldly: "The thing is here, what do you want now." ”
Lian Dongfang's mind was a little confused, staring at Li Guoxun. He wanted to say that Li Guoxun had done something, but unfortunately there was no evidence, and no one knew what was in the box.
Ma Chengteng also saw what Lian Dongfang meant, and asked Yueyao directly: "Yueyao, did your father say that there are family heirlooms in this box?" Ma Chengteng didn't believe Lian Dongfang's words at all, and the heirloom of the Lian family would only be passed on to the eldest son, where would it be passed on to the second son.
Yue Yao shook her head and said, "Before his death, my father told me that he put a sum of money here for Uncle Li, so that I and my younger brother can marry in the future, and he didn't say that there are any family heirlooms." Uncle, even if my father has the family heirloom of the Lian family, it must be returned to the Lian family, how can he keep it privately. Uncle, there must be something wrong. ”
Lian Dongfang heard this, and then looked at Li Guoxun's disgusting expression, and vomited so much that he wanted to vomit blood.
Ma Chengteng took the stack of silver tickets on the table and counted them in his hand, and then said to Yue Yao: "Yue Yao, there are a total of 120,000 taels of silver here, all of which are silver tickets from Huitong Qianzhuang. This money will not be given to you for the time being, and will be given to you when you and Ting Zheng get married. ”
Yue Yao nodded again and again, "Okay." ”
Lian Dongfang reached out and took the bracelet on the table in his hand, he wanted to see if there was any mystery in this bead chain. Let's see if we can find any clues in this.
Li Guoxun smiled and said, "You won't say that this bracelet is your family's heirloom, right?" ”
Yue Yao hurriedly said: "Uncle, this bracelet was found by my father in Jiangnan. I still remember when my father got this bracelet and told me that he would give it to me as a dowry. Uncle, this bracelet can never be a family heirloom. ”
Lian Dongfang glanced at Yue Yao, and anger flashed in his eyes. It seems that it is really as Mo Shi said, this girl is hiding a traitor in her heart, and the father and daughter are both elbows and dragged out.
Ma Chengteng recognized the goods and said in surprise: "This bead is carved from divine wood, and it is a good thing." "It's hard to find, and I don't know how this brother-in-law found it.
Li Guoxun asked Yueyao: "Do you take this bead back now or put it back in the box?" ”
Yueyao's Lian Dongbo said that when the dowry was Yueyao's nonsense, she didn't know that this was gloomy wood material, and she only felt that what could be put in the box by her father must not be ordinary. Now I hear Ma Chengteng say that this is carved by Shenmu, where will he take it back. This thing got into the uncle's eyes, and she couldn't keep it when she took it back. Yue Yao shook her head and said, "Let's put it back in the box!" ”
Ma Chengteng put the things back in the box and locked them, gave the key to Yueyao, and said, "This key is still for you to keep." Tell me when you ask for money. ”
Yue Yao took the key very calmly.
The multi-story area is cloudy and sunny. At this point, even if he didn't believe Li Guoxun, there was nothing he could do. And it is unrealistic to say that Ma Chengteng and Li Guoxun conspired to swallow the roster. Lian Dongfang had a headache, where was that roster.
Ma Chengteng said to Lian Dongfang: "I want Yueyao to live in my house for a while, and I will send someone to pick it up tomorrow." "If it can, Ma Chengteng hopes that Yueyao can live in Mafu for a long time.
Lian Dongfang had no position against it, but he became more and more disgusted with Yueyao. How did the Lian family come up with such things to eat inside and outside, and he had to maintain it in every possible way before.
Yueyao kept her head down, and she was also thinking about how to live in Mafu permanently. But after thinking about it, I don't know how many brain cells died, and I didn't think of a proper way.
When Lian Dongfang left Li's house, Li Guoxun didn't even go out of the door, and directly asked the little maid to send people away.
When Yue Yao returned to Lanxi Courtyard, she ordered someone to pack up her things immediately, she didn't want to stay in this place for a moment, and it was a good thing to leave early.
Xiang Wei smiled and said, "Girl, Master Ma really loves the girl." ”
Yue Yao couldn't see joy or sorrow on her face, and when she returned to the house, Yue Yao sat on the edge of the bed and was stunned. The matter that had been suppressed in her heart finally fell. In her previous life, it was because of this incident that Uncle Li's reputation was tarnished, and she died with guilt for Uncle Li. In this life, it won't.
Xiang Wei smiled and said, "What are you thinking?" ”
Yue Yao smiled and said, "I'm worried that if they want to harm me, they will make me disappear." Xiang Wei, are you sure you can protect me? If I'm not sure enough, I'll have to pick someone else to be around. My life is at stake, and I need you to answer me honestly. "The only thing that Yue Yao is glad about now is that the eldest uncle and Mo Shi are still afraid of their reputation, and they don't dare to embarrass her openly, otherwise she would have become a pile of bones.
Xiang Wei smiled: "Don't worry, I can protect you in the inner courtyard." ”
Yueyao nodded. It is enough for the inner courtyard to protect her, and as for the outside, the uncle and Mo are not enough to buy murder.
Mo Shi was disappointed when he heard that there was no roster, and when he heard that there were 120,000 taels of silver tickets in the box, a greedy look flashed in his eyes. plus the 30,000 taels of silver in Yue Yao's hand, which is equivalent to 150,000 taels of silver. Such a large amount of money is hot in Mo's heart. If Yueyao died, the Ma family would only be able to recover the Ma family's dowry at most, and all of this money would be connected to the family.
Lian Dongfang glanced at Mo's family: "The three girls will go to Mafu tomorrow to live for a few months, you can deal with it properly!" ”
Mo Shi was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Okay." When Lian Dongfang returned to the front yard, Mo immediately asked people to invite Aunt Su.
Aunt Su came to the main room, and Mo said, "I want to get rid of the three girls, do you have any way to keep a trace." "It was Yue Yao who got rid of it, and Ting Zheng took his time and was not in a hurry.
Aunt Su's face changed greatly: "Madam, by all means." The three girls are already fledgling, and now we will not only not be able to get rid of the three girls, but will let us fall into it. "Even if you really want to get rid of the three girls, you have to find a proper way that people can't see the traces, and it is not a simple death. If there must have been a way to get rid of the three girls before, and there would be no traces. But now that Yue Yao has an unknown maid by her side, she must not act rashly until she finds out the identity of this maid.
Moh's face turned cold and said, "What do you mean by this?" ”
Aunt Su said her guess about Xiang Wei: "Madam, the concubine suspects that this Xiang Wei is not a simple person. Xiang Wei should be the master invited by the third girl from the Hou Mansion. "Please master naturally protect her, the third girl is to prevent Mrs. from assassinating her.
Mohs frowned; "It's all your guess. And I've also seen that girl, looking soft and weak, where will there be martial arts. Then the people from Lanxi Courtyard also replied that in addition to embroidering in the house every day, this maid also accompanies Yueyao in the study on weekdays, which is nothing special. "This is mainly because Xiang Wei's appearance is very deceptive.
Aunt Su hadn't seen Xiang Wei, but she instinctively felt that Xiang Wei was a stumbling block, "Madam, think about the third girl's temperament." The third girl has a cold temperament, and she has a deep sense of defense, how could she ask a maid from Jingning Houfu to be by her side for no reason. Madam, if we haven't found out the details of this Xiang Wei, we must not do it. ”
Mo Shi thought that Yueyao was going to Mafu tomorrow, and this matter was not in a hurry, and said: "It will definitely take two or three months for her to go to Mafu this time, and we have enough time to check the details of this maid." "If you want to find a way that people can't see, you have to take time to prepare.
