Chapter 14: Secret Conversations in the Study
The voices of passers-by became more and more harsh, Yuan Shu's old face was dark, Xiao Meishuang's eyes rolled, and now was the time for her to behave.
"Oh, the concubine body can be regarded as Ning'er, you are half a mother, so Wu'er is naturally your sister. ”
Yuan Jinning's eyes were full of ridicule, this is to come over and slap her face, a ready-made face beating, not in vain!
"Then you have the right to speak? It's just a cheap concubine, and you still want to be half of my mother? If you are my mother, why do you always beat and scold me?"
In the first half, she said really mean, but in the second half of the sentence, Yuan Jinning immediately changed her tone, hid her face with one hand, and Yingying's eyes were sad and humiliated.
Everyone was in an uproar, but they didn't expect that Xiao's small concubine would dare to abuse his daughter-in-law.
"I have long heard that Yuan Hou is extremely fond of the Xiao family, and now it seems that it is indeed true, and he actually indulged her in abusing her daughter-in-law. ”
"That is, you can imagine how this eldest lady has lived all these years. ”
The voice of discussion was like a dagger, stabbing into the hearts of Yuan Shu and Xiao Meishuang one by one.
Public opinion is a sharp weapon, enough to kill people and take souls.
And in a high position, the most fearful thing is the remarks of the outside world, Yuan Shu's eyebrows were tightened, and his sophisticated black eyes had a sense of coldness, and he looked back and slapped Xiao Meishuang hard.
"Okay, you, you dare to abuse Ning'er!"
His move made Yuan Jinning stunned for a few seconds, and then couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth, oops, Yuan Shu is planning to push all public opinion on Xiao Meishuang, and pick himself cleanly, like pulling out that ruthless scumbag.
Oh no, he was originally a scumbag, and he didn't cherish a wife who loved him deeply, but he actually went behind the back of the original owner's mother to raise the mistress, and finally took the Xiao family back openly.
Yuan Jinning was very suspicious, maybe the original owner's mother was angry to death.
said that the name of his lonely star is also related to the death of the original owner's mother. A few days after the death of the original mother, a famous Taoist priest suddenly popped up at the funeral, bluntly saying that Yuan Jinning was the lonely star of the dead mother.
So from then on, whenever there was any funeral around him, all of them were pushed to Yuan Jinning.
Amusing.
Retracting his thoughts, Yuan Jinning watched this good show with relish.
Xiao Meishuang also understood what Yuan Shu meant, and her heart was half cold, she had always remembered that she had beaten herself in front of the regent before, and now she was throwing the pot in front of everyone, and her reputation was half ruined.
"Okay, don't be embarrassed outside, let's get inside. ”
Yuan Lingwu stretched out her hand and put it on Xiao Meishuang's hand, and patted it lightly as a comfort, which made Xiao Meishuang's heart feel a little warm.
She didn't expect this man for a long time, but fortunately she still had such an excellent daughter as Yuan Lingwu.
When they arrived in the reception room in the lobby, the four of them sat down, a row of maids came up with a tea cup, the fragrance of tea was overflowing, Yuan Jinning stroked the tea lid, and made a slight bumping sound.
Yuan Shu, Xiao Meishuang and Yuan Lingwu talked happily, while they sat in a corner and never spoke, as if they were a family, and they were just a spectator.
It's good that you don't have to worry about scolding them.
But it didn't take long for Ansheng to come here, and Yuan Lingwu smiled skillfully: "I heard that my sister asked my father for a dowry a few days ago..."
Halfway through the conversation, he motioned for her to answer.
But will Yuan Jinning do what she wants? Of course not!
Just let her embarrass herself.
There was silence in the hall, except for the crisp sound of Yuan Jinning's hands bumping from time to time.
Yuan Lingwu smiled awkwardly, glaring at Yuan Jinning with hatred in his eyes, but Yuan Jinning was like an old monk and didn't bother to raise his eyes.
Of course, it was impossible to get the dowry back from Yuan Lingwu, so the rest of the money was pulled out of the mansion, which caused a lot of money in the mansion during this period of time.
"Humph!"
Yuan Shu slapped the table hard, breaking the embarrassment, he narrowed his sophisticated black eyes: "Yes, your sister is out of luck, and her wings are stiff after getting married, do you know how much the Hou Mansion has lost because of your unreasonable request?"
"Father laughed, this is my due dowry, how did it fall into my father's mouth, it belongs to the entire Hou Mansion?" Yuan Jinning blocked back without being salty.
"As the saying goes, the water spilled by the married daughter, you really don't care about the Hou Mansion? This is also your home!" Xiao Meishuang beat her chest in pain, her face full of sadness.
Look at that expression, how true it is, this woman is in the modern era, and she is definitely the queen of the pole.
Yuan Jinning took a sip of tea, and there was a mellow fragrance in her lips and teeth: "Home?
But why can't the original owner and himself feel a little warmth?
"This huge Hou Mansion, where is my place?" Yuan Jinning's face was expressionless, but the desolation in his words made people feel uncomfortable.
"As for the broken thatched house I lived in before, heh!" Shaking his head, Yuan Jinning put down the teacup and leaned back on the chair elegantly.
The soft knife of this meal hurt the hearts and livers of the piercing, and Yuan Shu's face was blue and white.
After the conversation was over, Yuan Shu took Yuan Jinning to the study to discuss alone.
"Hand over those dowries!" Yuan Shu went straight to the point, and the closed door blocked Luojing's inquiring gaze.
The corners of Yuan Jinning's mouth curled, and he stretched out his soft water to flick the dust on his body: "Father, it seems that you don't understand very well, if I want to live a better life in the palace, I can't do a little bit?"
"I don't care if your life is good or not, you just need to gain Qin Yuanyi's trust, don't think about anything else!"
Is this a warning to her?
Turning around, Yuan Jinning glanced at him and hid the dark light under his eyes.
It's really pitiful for the original owner, the original owner didn't elope with the lover in the first place, and a large part of the reason was Yuan Shu. At that time, she still had a trace of expectation for her father, but unfortunately what she got was death.
Does the original owner hate?
Hates the scumbag for ignoring her, and hates him for letting others bully him.
But Yuan Jin would rather not be that little pitiful, now what she has in her body is a powerful soul!
"Father, you must know that only by taking care of those subordinates can I get close to the prince. Yuan Jinning bowed his head, as if he was a little afraid of him.
"And the things that came before... My father must forgive me, and only by doing so can I gain the trust of the prince. The low-brow pleasing appearance adds some truth to the words.
The man in front of him narrowed his eyes, not knowing whether he believed it or not.
Whatever, her rhetoric is here, believe it or not. Yuan Jinning looked at his toes, and immediately drew up a plan in his mind.
"And how much does he trust you now?"
Nonsense, where would I know.
Yuan Jinning scolded in his heart, with a submissive look on his face: "This, I don't know." ”
She really didn't know if Qin Yuanyi trusted herself.
"The emperor has already ordered, let you quickly gain Qin Yuanyi's trust so that you can take the next step. Yuan Shu began to use the most classic means, beating a stick and giving a piece of candy.
