Xue'er trembled all over, she didn't want to die like this.

If Lu's mother is still ......

Now, Lu's mother is gone.

She has no support, all she can do is tell Xia Ruan everything she knows, then Xia Ruan may spare her life.

Xue'er looked at Xia Ruan, who was sitting in front of her, and saw that the face of the woman in front of her was still a kind look, the same as before, nothing had changed.

Pure and kind, gentle, like the most harmless person.

Xue'er took a deep breath of turbidity, and then continued to kowtow, "Madam, please forgive the slave maid, these things really have nothing to do with the slave maid." ”

Xia Ruan still didn't speak, just picked up the tea cup on the table, took a sip of tea, and said half-loudly, "Do you know that if you say this, if it is half false, I will not spare you." Mother Lu is an old man who has been with Aunt Lin for many years, and you want to frame her without any evidence? ”

"The slave didn't frame her." Xue'er listened to Xia Ruan's words with a little hesitation, and hurriedly struck while the iron was hot, "How dare the slave dare to deceive Madame." ”

Xue'er took out the small cloth bag from her cuffs, "There is a small ledger here, which was stolen by the slave maid from Mother Lu's house. Over the years, all the money that Mother Lu had moved away from Aunt Lin and Mrs. Lin had been recorded on it. ”

Liuzi took the ledger from Xue'er's hand, then turned around and handed it to Xia Ruan.

Xia Ruan held the ledger in his hand, opened it slowly, and then looked at it seriously.

How Nan Xiao fell, she didn't know very well.

But. In the past, Nan Xiao's money would not be much less than that of Dong Xiao.

Dong Xiao took the power, so naturally he couldn't take all the money again.

Her father-in-law, Xiao Runqing, is a person who values love and righteousness, but because he attaches too much importance to love and righteousness, he will end up with hatred.

The accounts on the ledger were written very clearly, and looking at the things written on them, Xia Ruan couldn't help but secretly take a breath of cold air.

Nan Xiao ...... Once upon a time, he was so rich.

Moreover, Xia Ruan also found that a large amount of silver seemed to be a little unclear.

Lu's mother wrote yes in the account book. Fixed.

There is only the word fixed. But it took no less than 100,000 taels.

This number made Xia Ruan can't help but break out in some cold sweat in his hands.

"Madam......" Xue'er called Xia Ruan tentatively gently, "Madam, the slave has said everything she should say." In the slave's house, there is also a correspondence between Mother Lu and Master Lin. If you don't believe it. asked Mr. Xue to fetch it. ”

Xia Ruan closed the ledger. He turned his eyes to look at Manager Xue behind him.

At this time, Manager Xue was already exhausted, and if he didn't rely on his willpower, I am afraid that he would already be the same as those people on the ground. Fainted. In his life, he has used a lot of tricks to get to his current position, if Xia Ruan drives him out of the Hou Mansion, then he will have nothing.

The Lin family will never take him in, and Master Lin is under house arrest outside Beijing.

Steward Xue was extremely scared, he was afraid that Xia Ruan's next step would be to deal with him.

"Steward Xue." Xia Ruan's voice was still soft, and she couldn't hear what her emotions were, "Do you know, what is 'fixed'?" ”

Steward Xue's eyes widened, and he subconsciously took a few steps back.

Xia Ruan smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "Since Xue Guan doesn't know about things, then ......"

Xia Ruan paused halfway through speaking, "Actually, I still want Steward Xue to accompany Hou Ye for a few more years." ”

This sentence was like a sharp sword, stabbing Steward Xue's heart.

Steward Xue is the old man of the Lin family, and he also worked as a steward in the Lin family for a period of time in the past.

Aunt Lin married Nanxiao, and he followed Aunt Lin to Nanxiao. Later, he became the steward of the Chang'an Marquis Mansion.

Over the years, Steward Xue has seen countless accounts.

Xia Ruan wanted to know something from Steward Xue's mouth, it would be best if Steward Xue told her, and if Steward Xue didn't say it, she would have other ways to know.

Now, she didn't want the Lin family to threaten them again.

Actually, Xia Ruan has been thinking about a question.

If the old man of the Lin family really wanted to rebel, then how could he personally send himself to his husband's hands. It stands to reason that when he and Cinnabar planned to catch her, Master Lin should have hid far away. Even if her husband may be able to catch Old Man Lin later, it will not be so simple and fast.

Because her husband caught Mr. Lin, it was only five days.

At this time, Xia Ruan felt that there was something wrong.

A person who has been plotting a rebellion for many years will be easily found?

Xia Ruan didn't believe it.

She will choose to interrogate these old men of the Lin family today, but she also wants to know some things about Master Lin from their mouths. She didn't have seizures before, one is for the child in her womb, and the other is to find a flaw. Preferably, when these people have a conflict with Aunt Lin.

Now, she's jumped at the chance.

Aunt Lin is afraid that at this time, she also understands that Mother Lu, who has been loyal to her for many years, has always been in the Lin family. Those allegiances are also the last resort of Lu's mother's allegiance.

After a while, Steward Xue spoke, "The old slave knows something. ”

After Steward Xue finished speaking, he bit his tongue.

The smell of blood soon permeated his mouth.

Steward Xue didn't feel the pain unbearable, but hated him so much that he bit off his tongue and simply died here.

If it weren't for his children, if it weren't for his wife and family...... Steward Xue didn't want to get involved in this matter.

But there was no way back for him.

Since Xia Ruan said that his two sons were arranged to work beside Xiao Jiu, he had no way out.

Steward Xue's answer made Xia Ruan very satisfied.

"Many of you are old people of the Lin family, and I don't want to embarrass you." Xia Ruan said very lightly, but the people kneeling on the ground still heard it clearly, "I don't embarrass you, and you don't embarrass me." Last night, you went to stop the carriage of the marquis, do you have to stop the emperor's carriage in the future? Who gave you the courage to do such a thing? ”

Xia Ruan buttoned down a big hat and knelt on the ground. They replied in unison, "The slaves don't dare." ”

"I can't keep you here." Xia Ruan waved his hand and said to Steward Xue, "The list in the hands of the sixth son was given to me by Ah He last night. Those who should be sent away should be sent away, and all those who should not be left should be sent to the yamen. If...... If there is a dissenting mind, Steward Xue will look at it and deal with it. ”

After Xia Ruan finished speaking, he didn't get up and leave.

Steward Xue knew that Xia Ruan seemed to have given him all the rights. But it was nothing more than to let him make a statement.

If he doesn't handle it well. So even if he knew more of the inside story, Xia Ruan would definitely not keep him in the Hou Mansion.

Steward Xue's heart was as bitter as if he had eaten a yellow lotus, and from the moment he said that he knew the word 'fixed', he fell into Xia Ruan's step-by-step calculations.

He was expelled from the Hou Mansion. It's a dead end.

Want to live. He had to deal with it to satisfy Xia Ruan.

The sixth son handed over the list in his hand to Steward Xue. "Thank you Ahe last night, Madame has already let people give him a reward."

Steward Xue's hands trembled, and he took the list from the hands of the sixth son. Then he looked at the handwriting on it and almost gritted his teeth.

The handwriting on it was the one he was most familiar with.

Because this is the handwriting of his son, Xue He.

Steward Xue regretted that he had let his son learn to write.

If he hadn't taught his son to write, wouldn't he have been able to get away with it now......

Steward Xue glanced at Xia Ruan, and saw that Xia Ruan was still approachable. On her face, the slightest hint of anger was seen......

Steward Xue knew that Xia Ruan was not angry because these people were not worthy of Xia Ruan's anger.

He suddenly remembered that Xia Ruan had been married into the Hou Mansion for so long, and he had never seen Xia Ruan angry.

"Xue'er, you can leave with Aunt Lan." Steward Xue waved his hand and said to the person standing behind him, "Xue'er was brought up by Mother Lu, and she has a very good relationship with Mother Lu." And Aunt Lan, you and Xue'er have also been very close during this time. Mother Lu will be lonely underground alone, so you can accompany her. ”

Xue'er's face turned pale with fright after listening to Steward Xue's words, and she shouted at Xia Ruan, "Madam, Madam...... Slaves...... Save the slaves. ”

And Aunt Lan, who was kneeling not far from Xue'er, looked much calmer, and she said with a smile: "Steward Xue, you will have retribution." ”

Steward Xue didn't look at Aunt Lan's face again, because only Steward Xue knew best here, those people could stay, and those who couldn't.

Those people who hide well on weekdays are just a painted skin in the eyes of Steward Xue.

They are all members of the Lin family, and naturally they understand the people of the Lin family better than outsiders.

Xia Ruan didn't speak, just watched Steward Xue deal with it.

Xue'er shouted loudly, "Madam, please, please, save the slave, please ......"

Du Ruo added another cup of hot tea to Xia Ruan, and Xia Ruan said slowly, "It's okay, Xue'er." If all these things you have said today are true, I will forgive you. It's just that you can't stay in this Hou Mansion, I will give you all your deeds of sale and give you freedom. ”

Xia Ruan's words made Xue'er breathe a sigh of relief.

It's just that no one noticed a helpless smile on the corner of Steward Xue's mouth.

Xia Ruan did this, in fact, it would make Xue'er's death even worse.

This young lady is a wise man.

He also figured out what this lady was thinking.

He became a wicked person and wanted to punish Cher for her death. And Mrs. did a good job and saved Xue'er's life, so then others will learn from Xue'er and tell Xia Ruanlin's family what they know. These people, no matter how much they say, are just like Xue'er, who took the deed of sale and left the Hou Mansion.

However, if you leave the Hou Mansion, will you really live?

No...... It's going to be even worse.

Xia Ruan disdained to kill these traitors for glory because she was afraid of getting her hands dirty.

Once these Lin family members leave Chang'anhou, they will definitely be killed by the killers prepared by Master Lin outside.

Steward Xue felt that he had no bottom in his heart, because this lady was an unfathomable person.

She and Xiao Jiu's handling is too similar.

Kill, never blood. (To be continued......)
