Chapter 67: Windfall

Knowing so many secrets of Wang Shangshu, Xi Cui really felt that he had to leave the Wang family. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Mama Wu's death is a lesson from the past, although Wang Shangshu and Wang Li's style of acting are very different, but in the end it is mother and son, with the same blood flowing in their bodies, who knows if once things change abruptly, will he make the same choice as Wang Li?

If he continues to stay in the Wang family, he will inevitably come into contact with more things, once Wang Shangshu finds out, on the one hand, he is an insignificant minion, and on the other hand, he has the lives of several close friends who conspire with him, and he doesn't need to think about which is more important. On the contrary, if she can leave the Wang family and make a little fame for herself, Wang Shangshu will really realize that she can't act rashly.

This is not only for her own life, but more importantly, only if she lives well, can she better protect Yun Ting. The only bargaining chip in her hand now is money, and it is not enough money to keep Yun Ting's position in the Wang family, and only by turning money into other more important things in a short period of time. And these can only be done by leaving the Wang family, so that she can have an upright identity and let go of her hands and feet.

After saying goodbye to Nangong Yufeng and returning to the Wang family, Xi Cui found Rui Niang to discuss the matter. Although Rui Niang changed her identity and entered the Wang family, she was nominally bought by Xi Cui, and the deed of sale was still in her hands, but in private, Xi Cui always treated Rui Niang as a friend. In her selfish heart, she wanted Rui Niang to leave with her, but she would rather discuss this matter with Rui Niang, and she was unwilling to force Rui Niang.

But before she could talk to Rui Niang, the old lady sent Mother Mu to come to her, saying that there was something important and asked Xi Cui to hurry over.

Xi Cui could only follow Mother Mu to Ningju first, and along the way, Mother Mu said that she didn't know much about this matter, and only said that the old lady called the account manager to check the various expenses in the house for this month according to the usual practice, and it was usually handled at this time every month. Every time, I checked with the account room, and by the way, I sorted out the distribution of people's monthly silver, and the steward roughly said that the number was almost the same. The old lady's body is getting worse and worse, and these things can't be managed so finely. Who knew that the steward did not know what he had said today, but the old lady actually lost her temper, and called all the stewards of the house over for questioning, and did not let them go until the afternoon. At this time, his anger was reduced a little, and he was in the mood to eat something, and halfway through eating, he shouted to Mother Mu to come over to Xi Cui.

Xi Cui smiled secretly in her heart, Mother Mu, you are really a cautious person, there were other girls around you just now, you just don't know what's going on, but you can talk about it while walking, isn't it clear what's going on? The old lady must have seen that there was something wrong with the Wang family's stewards, and even found Xi Cui to play a role in it. Although it was a little late, Xi Cui still admired the old lady, she was already at this point and could still eat.

When she arrived at Ningju, the old lady was still eating, looking at the food on the table, Xi Cui appreciated the old lady even more. Since the incident of the Liu family, the old lady knew that the deficit in the house was too big, although she didn't say anything, she was really frugal in her food and clothing, although she was a vegetarian, but this vegetarian dish only had two dishes and one soup every time. Today is good, a table full of delicacies is not taboo.

When Xi Cui came in, the old lady was drinking soup under the girl's service, and when she heard the movement, she didn't raise her head, just put down the soup bowl, looked at the table of food, and said, "Thanks to your master and servant, the old lady and I also have a luxury today, I haven't eaten these good things for a long time, and I almost forgot what it tastes like on my tongue...... What did I do to make a living by cutting back on food and clothing? These days, the housekeepers in our house, the old mother's clothes are better than mine, the master. It's funny to say, I don't know how those minions secretly laugh at me, a dull old woman! After speaking, she raised her head and looked at Xi Cui's side with cloudy eyes, "Since you have the money to take care of the people in our house, why don't you take care of my old wife by the way?" My Wang's house is now your surname! As her voice landed, the chopsticks in the hands of the maid who were waiting next to her snapped and fell to the ground, and the little maid hurriedly knelt on the ground, trembling and kowtowing all over her body to beg for mercy.

Xi Cui smiled and walked over with small steps, bent down to pick up the chopsticks on the ground, patted the little maid's shoulder to comfort her, stood up straight, and put the chopsticks on the table in front of the old lady, "Old lady, what are you doing, such a big temperament is not good for your body." Saying that, he looked at Mother Mu, "Mother Mu, is there any medicine that the doctor prescribed to the old lady?" If you have one, you will quickly call the people to prepare it, in case there is an urgent need to boil it again, but it will be too late! ”

Mother Mu was stunned for a long time and didn't dare to move, although she helped Xi Cui do a lot of things these days, but this does not mean that she will stand on Xi Cui's side in front of the old lady, after all, she wants to continue to stay in the Wang family, and the old lady is the main one. Although the old lady is ruthless, at least the old lady has treated her well so far.

Xi Cui knew that Mother Mu was embarrassed, so she didn't look at her anymore, but just lowered her head and attached herself to the old lady's ear, "If I were you, I would tell everyone else to go out, there are some things that people who don't know can be buried forever when they die!" ”

The old lady's hand holding the handkerchief to wipe her mouth froze like an electric shock, and even her ears trembled unconsciously, and the corners of her mouth began to twitch irregularly, just staring at Xi Cui for a long time but couldn't say a word. In the end, she pinched her thigh with her other hand, which calmed herself down, and she didn't look at Xi Cui again, but said to Mother Mu and the maid kneeling on the ground, "You all go out, I have something to say to Xi Cui." ”

Watching Mother Mu leave with the maid, the old lady could almost hear her heartbeat, like a drum. Xi Cui knew that Mama Wu was killed by herself, and knew the reason why she killed Mama Wu! Is that all she knows? Will Mama Wu tell her everything? What does she want to do? To avenge Mama Wu, do you want her to be martyred for a slave? Or use this to threaten her? Will she be detrimental to the Wang family because of this? No, no, no, Xi Yunting is still in the Wang family, she can't hurt the Wang family, so what is she going to do?

When the door was closed, Xi Cui sat casually next to the old lady. Looking at the table of food, he smiled, "I didn't think when I didn't see the food, I haven't eaten anything today, and it's really good to look at the table of food you ordered......

"Humph!" The old lady slapped the table, stood up, and looked at Xi Cui condescendingly, "Do you think that if you know that secret, you can blackmail me and do whatever you want here?" Xi Cui, don't forget that now you are just a slave of my Wang family, how did Mama Wu die, you won't remember it so soon, right? ”

"Are you planning to use the same methods against Mama Wu against me? Why do you think that after the incident of Mama Wu, I will let another Qing'er appear in Luju? But I don't know if there will be a Qing'er arranged by me? Xi Cui casually picked up a pair of chopsticks and moved a dish in front of him, "If I eat anything in the future, you must first use a silver needle to test the poison, after all, the people around you have not received any favors from you, and the monthly money is not particularly rich, and seeing your ruthless methods, I am trembling to serve you A person like you I don't know if it will be really loyal?" Anyway, you can't do it, I don't really like that kind of people, but they are all chosen by you, and I keep the face of them taking care of you at that time. ”

"Take care of my face! I think you're trying to disgust me, right? The old lady clenched the cane in her hand, and wanted to smash it at Xi Cui's head.

Xi Cui put down her chopsticks, wiped her hands with a handkerchief, stood up, and looked at the old lady with a smile, "You know how grateful I was when you rescued my young lady?" Even if you are reluctant to save Miss at all! But you shouldn't have killed Mama Wu! Mama Wu's death not only makes me no longer grateful to you for Miss's salvation, but also adds to your suspicion, if you can do something to Mama Wu, it is possible to attack me, if I also die, what should we do to our Miss? So I have to do it before you, revenge may not be able to do it, but I can still do it to protect myself! ”

"So you're doing this all for self-preservation!" The old lady looked at Xi Cui with suspicion.

"At that time, I didn't know that so many things would happen later, and what I did was just to make it more convenient for me to act in the Wang family in the future. But now I'm not going to continue doing this, after your royal family's scheming has reached this level, I'm going to leave the royal family. Xi Cui's face was calm and calm, as if he was saying something very ordinary, "Not only that, but I also want Wang Shangshu to personally drive me out of the house, and say in public that I will never be allowed to Xi Cui step into your Wang family again!" Of course, these can only be the appearance of outsiders, in fact, I will continue to take care of our young lady's dowry, as well as everything left by my wife, and my eyes will always be on the Wang family, taking care of our young lady. ”

"Why do you want to leave her if you want to protect her?"

"Because your Wang family is too dangerous, not only will I leave, if I can, I will also take our young lady away, now I am only doing this to get rid of the relationship with my young lady, if she is still my master, then her name will be mentioned again and again because of me, and it will not be easy for me to hide her when the time comes. You probably don't know what Wang Shangshu is doing, right? I know, so I have to leave before the whole thing is completely revealed, and take our lady with me. Xi Cui simply told the old lady that the more people like her concealed, the easier it was for her to be suspicious, and it was better to tell her calmly. The old lady was wholeheartedly for the sake of the Wang family, and she was afraid that Xi Cui would say what she shouldn't say, but she didn't dare to embarrass her.

"How do you know what Zihuan is doing?" Although the old lady didn't believe it in her mouth, she had already begun to beat the drum in her heart. Ever since she knew that Wang Shangshu also knew that secret, the old lady's heart was full of ups and downs, her son talked about serving the country all day long, how could she swallow her anger if she knew such a big secret? Xi Cui didn't seem to say anything, but she couldn't help herself from thinking in that direction. No matter how unjustifiable people are, they are already emperors, and how can the Lao family work hard for so long that he can easily shake the Wang family without a single soldier? Hitting a stone with an egg, this is hitting a stone with an egg!

"It's not convenient for me to tell you how I know." Xi Cui straightened her clothes and prepared to leave, thought about it and glanced back at the old lady, "If I am, you can quickly find a room for your aunt and leave a way back for the Wang family." "Otherwise, the Wang family you are guarding wholeheartedly will really be broken here......

Posterior! Hearing these two words, the old lady's eyes suddenly lit up, and she grabbed Xi Cui, "You wait!" ”

Xi Cui turned back impatiently, what else is there to say about this?

"I won't stop you from leaving the Wang family, and I will help you take care of Xi Yunting in the future, and even, even if I give Shaoyan a child, I am willing to hand over my aunt's deed of sale to you for safekeeping, but you have to promise me one condition!" The old lady's eyes turned rapidly, as if she was thinking quickly and expressing quickly, for fear that Xi Cui would not agree, she even knelt down, "I know that I am guilty and unworthy of your forgiveness, but for the sake of the Wang family, I still ask you, and now I can only ask you." ”

This time, Xi Cui looked at the old lady condescendingly, she saw the top of the old lady's gray head for the first time, most of the buns were already wigs, and black and white between the real and the false were hovering above her head, Xi Cui suddenly felt sad, why did she think that the Wang family did this, how could the Wang family and what could she get? Seeing that they are already half-cut people......

"After you leave the Wang family, please go to the thirteenth courtyard of Yanwei Lane in the west of the city from east to west to find an old woman named Dumb Pozi, and take a boy she is raising herself. I want you to take care of that child when he grows up, teach him to read and write, teach him to be a man, but you will never allow him to be an official! The old lady gritted her teeth when she said the word "official", as if she hated these two words.

Child? What's going on? Xi Cui waited for the old lady to continue, but the old lady knelt on the ground and only cried, and did not explain the origin of the child for a long time. In desperation, Xi Cui had no choice but to look around for Xiao Yi's traces, although she didn't find Xiao Yi's shadow, but Xiao Yi complained with a little dissatisfaction in her ears, "That child is the one in Aunt Yang's belly back then...... Although this old lady has done some excessive things, is it a little ...... for you to treat her like this? ”

Xi Cui's belly, what's the point? If she dared to sympathize with this old lady, what was she really cruel to herself? This old lady can't be compared with ordinary people at all, there is only one thing she can hold in her heart, and that is the Wang family, anyone who threatens the Wang family as long as she can move, she is never ambiguous.

Aunt Yang's child is still alive! This news shocked Xi Cui. If she tells Rui Niang about this, I don't know how happy she will be! At this point, she must hold this child by her side, although she is not very reluctant to hold the child of the Wang family, but when she thinks of Rui Niang's relationship with this child, she can't refuse. "Okay, I promise you."

The old lady didn't expect Xi Cui to answer so simply, she raised her head to look at Xi Cui, and the tears in the corners of her eyes didn't have time to wipe away, "You, don't you even ask about the identity of this child?" ”

"The only thing that can make you so groveling to trust is the children of the Wang family. Although I don't like your Wang family very much, but the child is innocent, and I will raise this child well even if you saved the young lady's life. "I will also let him grow up well under the care of his own mother, and it is best to have nothing to do with your Wang family from now on.

The old lady hurriedly stood up, trembled and took out a purse from her arms, and handed it to Xi Cui, "When the time comes, you will give this purse to the dumb woman, and she will naturally give you the child." ”

The old lady watched Xi Cui put away her purse and breathed a sigh of relief. She thought about it, once Wang Shangshu decided what to do, no one could change it, and this time the Wang family would definitely be involved in a catastrophe, and it was unknown whether it would be dead or alive. She couldn't let the Wang family end up, although Aunt Yang's child was safe in the dumb woman's place, but that was when she was still alive, once she died, the dumb woman cut off her silver income, and the child might be treated in a hurry. It's better to ask him to follow Xi Cui, as long as Yun Ting stays in the Wang family well, looking at Shaoyan's face, Xi Cui will also treat this child well, even if the Wang family really suffers in the future, Xi Cui and this child have been together for some time, there is always a relationship, and she will not treat this child badly. Originally, I thought that when the time was right, I would tell Wang Shangshu the truth and ask him to find the child in person, but now it seems that it is better for this child not to enter the gate of Wang's house.

On the way from Ningju to Luju, Xiao Yi kept talking in her ear, nothing more than that she couldn't get used to seeing Xi Cui treat a poor old lady like this. Xi Cui wanted to say that the old lady was a poisonous snake at all, but she thought about it and still didn't say anything, first, she said that Xiao Yi didn't understand at all, and second, she would always meet people on the road, and others couldn't see Xiao Yi, and she didn't think she was crazy when she talked to herself like this?

So Xi Cui endured it and went to Luju and found Rui Niang.

This time she changed her mind, she didn't plan to let Rui Niang choose herself, Rui Niang had to follow her out of the house, for her and for the sake of the child. So she told Rui Niang that she had plans to leave the house, but she hadn't thought about how to do it yet.

After hearing this, Rui Niang didn't say what she thought, neither said that she would go with her nor said that she wanted to stay, and after waiting for a long time, she asked, "Do you want me to go with you?" ”

Of course, Xi Cui nodded. In addition, he also leaned into Rui Niang's ear with a mysterious face, "What do you guess the old lady told me?" ”

Rui Niang shook her head.

The smile on Xi Cui's face deepened, and she attached it to Rui Niang's ear, saying word by word, "Your child is not dead. ”

"What did you say?" Rui Niang suddenly made a move, pushed Xi Cui away, pinched Xi Cui's shoulders with both hands, imprisoned her in front of her, stared at Xi Cui's face, and didn't miss the slightest detail, "What you said is true?" (To be continued.) )
