CHAPTER XXXVIII

Aunt Mei was sweating in her hands, but she was calm on the surface, she didn't really want to make a big fuss, just as Second Master Meng thought in her heart, she was also afraid of provoking the people of the Yongchang Marquis Mansion. It's just that she knows the old man and the old lady better, as long as she doesn't make too much trouble, when the time comes, the wife will take something out, which will not only publicize everyone but also get benefits, and it can be regarded as calming the evil breath in her heart.

"Madam, it's not that my sister has the intention to target my wife, it's just that this thing was lost in Da Lang's place, if my sister doesn't want to try her best to track it down, how can she explain it to the old man and the old lady." After speaking, Aunt Mei also said aggrievedly: "It's just that my wife is too ruthless to do this." ”

"Let her heart die!! Tell her! The old lady slapped the table and said angrily.

"It's too late for the slaves......"

Acacia has been standing aside with his head slightly down, and when he heard this voice, he raised his head and looked at the door.

Aunt Xue was dressed in an indigo dress, combed her old-fashioned bun, and was helped in by a little girl, her eyes were calm like a pool of stagnant water.

"Slave ......"

Before she could speak, Acacia walked over and said, "Aunt Xue is not too late, no, Aunt Mei hasn't started talking yet." ”

Seeing what Aunt Xue wanted to say, Acacia hurriedly carried her to the side and sat in the corner.

"Second girl......" Aunt Xue's eyes finally fluctuated.

Acacia smiled and shook his head.

Aunt Xue's lips trembled slightly and sighed.

No one knows the purpose of Aunt Xue's coming at this time better than Acacia, she has been in this backyard enough, if it weren't for the fact that she still has a trace of concern for his wife, and there is still a trace of protection for the two girls, I am afraid that she would have been hanged with a rope long ago.

It was also at this time in her previous life, Aunt Xue came in and admitted that she had found someone to steal the private treasury, and begged the old lady to punish her, but Aunt Mei didn't want her to prevent the disaster for her wife, and finally found some evidence, and the wife broke the fortune, and Aunt Xue was punished for this.

As soon as Guan saw Aunt Xue, his face stinked, and he looked away with his handkerchief, as if the person Aunt Mei wanted to target was not her.

Aunt Mei was very unhappy when she was interrupted, but she still calmed down and said: "Since Sister Xue is here, it's very good, one more person, and one more witness." ”

Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Aunt Mei straightened her back and said, "The concubine is weak, and she has to work the old lady......"

Aunt Mei glanced at the old lady with her eyes, and the old lady immediately said: "Well, I am watching this process, and some people don't say that Aunt Mei is selfish!" ”

Acacia smiled secretly in his heart, only feeling that the two had a good relationship, if it didn't involve money, it would be very tacit.

"I lost something in the private treasury that day, and the concubine didn't check it, and the concubine was also at fault." Aunt Mei got up and didn't say anything else, but first asked the second master for guilt, and then said: "It's just that after some investigation, the concubine found that among the people who sorted out the private treasury that day, several of them were the old reasons of the wife's companionship. ”

"Of course, if you just talk about this, then the concubine is really guilty and deserves death." Aunt Mei was afraid that someone would talk to her, so she said one after another: "It's just that the old lady grabbed a few people who learned to speak a while ago, and when she missed the clue, the concubine didn't dare to move, and only waited for the old lady's guidance to find out the old woman who watched the corner gate that day......"

Second Master Meng had a calm face, and when he saw that Aunt Mei didn't say anything and looked at herself, she also beat a drum in her heart, could it be that it was really the Guan family's doing?

The old lady saw that her son seemed to have doubts, and she was anxious, she couldn't care if this was done by her daughter-in-law, she only knew that the Guan family had a lot of dowry in her hands, and most of her private room had already gone, if she didn't make up for it, it would be unstable to sleep.

So she pointed at Guan Shi bitterly and said: "That old woman is a fellow villager of Mama Qin next to you, she said that you were the one who let people in that day, and the person who grabbed the wealth was also done by you in private to find the ruffians in the north of Kyoto City, don't deny it!" My wife has lived to such an old age, and it is impossible to innocently wronged you as a junior, don't think that no one knows what you do, God also has eyes! ”

Acacia almost laughed out loud.

"You think you are doing it strictly, those people have also died a lot of infighting for money, but there are still some people who have not been picked by you, but they have heard with their own ears the words left by those dead people before they came to our house! Do you want me to have someone bring you in and confront you? People recognize it as the nephew of Mama Qin next to you! When the old lady said this, even she herself believed it a little, so her tone became more and more determined and resentful.

Mama Qin followed her wife, her legs were about to be scared, this is a crime to add to her desires, not to mention that she does have a distant nephew, and that nephew has not studied well since he was a child, and he will always be contaminated by eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling.

"Old lady, you can't say this, the old slave followed my wife when he came out of the Yongchang Marquis Mansion, and he has no credit for the Meng Mansion and hard work. You can't suspect the old slave for the relatives you can't find! This...... This old slave was originally from Kyoto, who doesn't have a distant family! Before Guan could speak, Mama Qin knelt down.

When Guan saw it, he looked at the old lady squarely, and said with accusations in his eyes: "What did the old lady come at me directly, why did she use her grandmother to bully me?" Whether this is true or not, everyone knows in their hearts, I see that it is better to let the master call the shots, I want to see who dares to bite indiscriminately! ”

Aunt Mei didn't speak at this time, just now the old lady said everything for her, and now she only needs to hide aside to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

"You! You're still unrepentant! The old lady was already dizzy, she only felt that the Guan family was disobeying her again, and seemed to be faintly laughing at her, her eyes were red, and she said to the second master Meng: "Son! For the mother, there is such a little belongings, which are all kept for you, you see, your daughter-in-law, not only has no credit for half of it, but also always thinks about our family's property. She didn't want to think about her as a person without a son, what was the use of asking for so much! ”

"Sir! I didn't take anything, so don't let the old lady slander me! Guan looked at Mama Qin kneeling on the ground, as well as the aggressive old lady, his heart was sad and angry, and tears began to flow again.

Second Master Meng was thinking in his heart, the old lady's things would definitely not come back, besides, even if he wanted to come back, he could only go to Aunt Mei's place, if he wanted to touch his hands, I was afraid it would not be easy. When it comes to the dowry of his wife, as long as he is in a good mood and is gentle and careless, he can always coax one and a half pieces. Besides, what good things will definitely not be able to spit out when they get to the old lady, if they wait for the two daughters to get married, he will have to find the old lady for a dowry, there must be no weight at that time, if he marries out, he is afraid that he will laugh off the big teeth of his colleagues, how will he be promoted in the future, where is this marriage is clearly a feud!

As for his wife, her two daughters are her daughters, can there be no good things in marriage? At that time, he only needs to make a small head, and his wife will be able to level out the big head for him, so it will be much more affordable than sending it to the old lady.

"Mother, Guan's is really not very sensible on weekdays, but if it is said that outsiders steal, I am afraid it will be a misunderstanding." Second Master Meng said with an embarrassed face.

Guan Shi's eyes turned red with excitement in an instant, and she wiped her tears and moved: "I know, I know that Lang Jun understands me and is my confidant......"

Aunt Mei cowered in the corner and frowned.

When the old lady heard this, this is okay, the good son actually stood on the daughter-in-law's side here, this is evidence, even if there is no evidence, she can't spare the Guan family today!

"Okay, I'm afraid there is no place for my old lady to speak in this family, I think even if my wife comes up with evidence, my lord won't believe it, and I think my wife is fabricating a false accusation." The old lady twitched her nose, took a deep breath and said, "Then I'll just hand it over to the government and let them decide!" ”

Second Master Meng was anxious when he heard it, this is a family ugly, he lost something last time and had to shout that the official errand was already a loss of face, this is still an important juncture for him to wait for the award, if he pokes out again, his wife suspects his wife of stealing, he still wants to pass, the first one in the Yongchang Marquis Mansion will give him small shoes to wear.

"Mother, this matter still needs to be considered, and it must not be publicized!" Second Master Meng has already begun to think about whether his wife should have some blood to appease the old lady.

"The government is the government, I don't believe it, there is no place to reason in this world!" Guan's head was hot, and he stood up and shouted.

The lobby was a mess, and the people wanted to shrink into dust and disappear.

It's really like a home in the market, about only Acacia is so leisurely, she is very moody to look at it for a while, and when she sees that things have come to this point, she doesn't speak anymore for fear that her father will let her mother take money to buy Qingjing.

"Old lady, father, mother...... When I came, Uncle had a commandment. ”

The sound of lovesickness was not loud, but in an instant, everyone was silent.

Acacia bowed and said: "Uncle originally wanted to say a word to his father in person, but now he is busy with business, and it seems that he has to go out to visit friends in person about ......his father's future."

Second Master Meng's throat tightened, and he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Your uncle naturally doesn't have to come in person if he has something, you should bring a message, you should!" ”

Acacia smiled, glanced at Aunt Mei meaningfully, and said: "Uncle said, our family's case has reached the eyebrow, and it is said that the identities of the robbers who died last time have been ascertained, and they are all ruffians from Kyoto......"

"No, I'll just say!" The old lady glanced sideways.

"It's just ......" Acacia said again: "The person who connected with the ruffian is not what the old lady said, but Mama Qin's nephew." ”

Mama Qin breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed to the ground.

"That person has been arrested now, he calls himself Uncle Xiang to the outside world, he is a rice merchant, but behind his back, he is one of the bandit leaders of Yanhong Mountain back then."

Acacia's voice was not loud, she had been observing Aunt Mei as she spoke, and she saw in Aunt Mei's eyes the initial surprise and disbelief, and then the fear and panic in the back.

That's right, in the previous life, Aunt Mei and her father's "friend" were actually Uncle Xiang, who was actually a former accomplice, and even those gangsters were asked by Uncle Xiang to find them casually.
