Chapter 178: A Closer Look (1st Update)
Wang Qixian's word stirred up a thousand waves with one stone, and the Wang family couldn't sit still. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Zhao knows her son best, and she knows who he likes. It's just that what she didn't expect was that in order to take care of the overall situation, Wang Qixian would take this move.
"!" Where did Qiao Shi think that they would come out like this, and hurriedly retorted: "Since you said that what you like is tassels, then what is the matter with you accompanying Qi Yao's girl to kneel in the ancestral hall?" ”
"What's wrong with kneeling in the ancestral hall?" Sanniang stuffed back the words: "At that time, my father had not come back, and my grandmother wanted to take me away without permission, and my brother was guarding me just for fear of repeating the old tricks, what was wrong?" ”
Speaking of this, Wang Wenxu pretended to snort coldly to show his attitude towards this matter: "I think the Wang family wants the main position, and the left and right are also useless, whoever of you wants to squeak, I will fulfill him!" ”
Wang Wenxu is sarcastic, the second room and Mrs. Wang's hands are stretched too long and too wide.
But who would dare to take what he said? Isn't that digging a grave for yourself? So no one responded.
Qiao Shi was willing to compromise like this, but said: "I saw it with my own eyes that night, how can it be fake?" I can understand my brother's protection, but I also have to seek truth from facts, as the head of the family, then I have to be fair and just. ”
Wang Wenxu asked her, "Did you see it?" ”
Qiao Shi was unusually sure: "Naturally, I saw ......"
"Heh, my younger brother and sister don't sleep in the middle of the night, and it's enough to go to the night house to squat."
Qiao Shi hurriedly said: "You can't talk nonsense!" I... I just couldn't sleep, so I was running around. ”
Wang Wenxu didn't save her face at all: "It's just that others don't know what your personality is, but I'm clear!" Since you got married to the palace, you can count the number of times you get up early and you can count it with your fingers, so lazy, can you still sleep and go out to the garden? What a joke! ”
Qiao Shi was speechless, and his face turned red with anger.
Wang Wenxu turned a deaf ear and turned to ask Wang Qixian's servant: "Let me ask you, are you still sure that Qi Xian is in love with Qi Yao?" ”
The servant was stunned for a moment, and looked up at the people in the hall.
He has now become the lowest servant in the palace, and except for giving him fifty taels of silver, Qiao's rest of his words are regarded as farts. If he had known that he would only get fifty taels of silver, he would not have done such a thing.
But the words have already been spoken, he still doesn't want to leave the Wang family, and he can't offend the master: "The little one is sure, when I was in the academy, the little one once saw the eldest prince write the name of the fifth lady over and over again......"
"You're lying!" Wang Qixian, who had been bored for a long time, suddenly opened his mouth again: "You have no evidence, why do you come from these false words?" ”
"That's because Childe burned those papers afterwards, otherwise ......"
"Otherwise what? If there is no evidence, how can you be allowed to talk nonsense? Wang Qixian yelled at him, as if all the anger in his heart was transferred to this servant: "I treat you so well, half of the food and fun are shared with you, when your mother was seriously ill, who helped you?" You will take revenge now, does your mother know? ”
As soon as he heard Wang Qixian talk about his old mother, the servant's numb face finally had emotions: "I beg my son not to tell her old man, she... She's dying, so let her go......"
"Then tell the truth! Don't let me down again......"
"I ......" The servant was depressed and indecisive, and what Wang Qixian said was telling the truth, which was to make him turn against him.
Wang Qixian treated him kindly, he always remembered it, but he couldn't help it. The old mother in the family is critically ill, and he is infected with gambling again, and the already poor family has made him lose little.
Qiao's original promise was that he would give him one hundred taels to pay off the debt, and said that he would be transferred to the second room to be on duty and give double the monthly silver. If not, how could he have betrayed his master?
As a result, only half of a hundred taels were given, and what double moon silver was simply a dream.
He still has a grudge against Qiao's in his heart, but he is also a person in the second room now, so he can only grasp this and the life-saving straw.
When Wang Wenxu saw that the servant was hesitant, he knew that he had a problem: "Say! ”
He was frightened by Wang Wenxu's voice, and couldn't help but tremble: "Small...... The little one didn't lie......"
Wang Wenxu no longer pressed him, let alone tortured him, but said to the surrounding people: "Whoever is familiar with him in the house, come here." ”
The little guy who went to find the tassel and they came over replied: "The master doesn't have to bother, he relies on himself to be the person next to the eldest prince, and he acts in a high-profile manner." Everyone in the house knows about him, and the little one has heard of some ......"
Hearing this, Wang Wenxu urged: "Then you say." ”
The little guy got the order, and then continued: "He is very arrogant on weekdays, and he always takes advantage of others by relying on the power of the eldest son. The days of going to the academy are better, and as soon as he comes back, he doesn't stop, and the little guys in the house don't treat him very well, but they are afraid of this eldest prince, so they don't dare to say it clearly......"
Wang Qixian's servant didn't react when he heard it, thinking that after he became a third-class domestic servant in the second room, he understood that without Wang Qixian's tree, no one would treat him.
The little guy then said: "A few days ago, he went more and more excessively, borrowing money from all over the house, and more and more each time, which disturbed everyone's peace. Just before Miss Five's accident, this kid stopped again, and the little one heard that ......"
Speaking of this, the little guy paused, looked at Qiao's family, and then looked at Mrs. Wang, and stopped talking.
Wang Wenxu supported him: "You just have to say, as long as it is the truth, you will be rewarded with twenty taels of silver!" If anyone in the house dares to trouble you about this, you will come to me, and I will make the decision for you. ”
With Wang Wenxu's guarantee, the little guy strengthened his courage, and then said: "I heard that the little one is addicted to gambling and has lost a lot of silver, but the hole can't be filled, and he can't control his hands." But then... Then he stopped, probably to pay off his gambling debts, and his old mother was seriously ill, so he quit ......"
Wang Wenxu grasped the key point and asked: "How much silver does he owe?" ”
"It's not good to say the little one, he sold all the valuable things in the house, and it is estimated that it will be one hundred and eighty taels of silver."
One hundred and eighty taels is a drop in the bucket for the Wang family, and it is already an astronomical amount for a subordinate person.
Wang Wenxu asked the servant, "Is there such a thing?" ”
He knew that he couldn't hide it, as this little guy said, everyone in the palace knew about him: "Yes, but it's ......"
"But what?"
"Those debts, the small ones have been paid off, and besides, this matter has nothing to do with the eldest prince and the fifth lady......
What this servant means is that the gambling debts are his own business, and it is not Wang Wenxu's turn to ask.
Wang Wenxu couldn't hear it, and asked him: "Do you think I'm nosy?" ”
The servant hurriedly shook his head: "Don't dare, little one...... That's not what it means......"
