Chapter 10: Thunder Means
It is said that people are in good spirits when they are happy, this is really true, at this moment, Aunt Jin's tone was a little lighter, and even Aunt Jin and Jing Shengxue beside her had a little joy on their faces.
Aunt Jin's apricot eyes were round, staring at Jing Shengwu without blinking.
Seeing that the corners of Jing Shengwu's lips were slowly hooked little by little, Aunt Jin was interrupted by Jing Shengwu's gentle voice just as she was about to speak.
"I have a way to avoid these troubles right away", he beckoned to Qinglian as he spoke: "You go to the account room and find Steward Cui." β
Aunt Jin asked puzzledly, "Why did the third young lady ask Steward Cui for no reason?" β
"I called Steward Cui to ask him to take the account of the expenses in the house in the past years, and I can also settle the expenses of Aunt Jin who entered your house in the Hou Mansion over the years, the six sisters have lived with Aunt Jin since they were children, and the expenses have also been settled and listed, and after I and Steward Cui have calculated it, Aunt Jin will return this account, and it is not too late for me to take the dowry with you."
Looking at Aunt Jin's face, there was no joy at all, it was completely dark, and she said in an unkind tone: "What does this mean by Miss San, since I married into the Hou Mansion, the Hou Ye has not abandoned me, who doesn't know that I am our Hou Ye's aunt, why do you ask me for this!" β
The voice fell,
"Smack!" With a crisp sound on the ground, Jing Shengwu slapped the box in his hand on the carved mahogany dwarf, and reprimanded in a deep voice: "You also know that you married into my Qi'an Hou Mansion!" I also said that my aunt still thinks that she is a naΓ―ve daughter in the boudoir! I, the Hou Mansion of Qi'an, have been providing your mother and daughter with brocade clothes and jade food for more than ten years, and I have raised your pair of white-eyed wolves! You're still shy enough to ask me for the dowry! Get the keys! Okay, if you want it today, I will satisfy you, and I will settle it with you immediately when Steward Cui comes! After the accounts are settled, your Jin family and my Jing family have been cleared since then, and immediately roll up your bedding and get out of the house for me! I want to see how much real money your humble dowry can cover my Jing family! β
Jing Shengwu's words stabbed into Aunt Jin's heart like a sharp sword, and Aunt Hua who was standing on the side and several other people who wanted to get some benefits were all called Jing Shengwu's momentum froze in place, and he didn't dare to make a sound.
The first to come back to her senses was the fifth lady Jing Shengxue, Jing Shengxue lifted her skirt and knelt down towards Jing Shengwu, "The third sister is angry, my mother is confused for a while, I apologized to the third sister on her behalf." β
After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand to reveal his white wrist and grabbed the corner of Aunt Jin and pulled it hard, dragged Aunt Jin staggered, fell to the ground, and said again: "I promise the third sister that my mother will think about it behind closed doors after she goes back, and she will never mention today's events in the future." β
Jing Shengwu lazily lifted her eyelids, her eyes were dark, her fifth sister was a scheming, and her cold words were all said by others, she came to act as a filial daughter and virtuous sister at this time, so calculating.
"The fifth sister's teaching, Mama didn't teach you the etiquette in the boudoir, is there a difference between respect and inferiority? Even if Aunt Jin is your biological mother, you can only call Aunt Niang, how can there be a saying that one mother is a mother in public, isn't it a joke! β
Jing Shengxue's body trembled, her head hung down to her chest, her eyes were full of hatred, and she said in a low voice: "The third sister taught me a lesson, it was my sister who lost her manners, and I hope that the third sister will not remember the villain, and spare the aunt." β
Jing Shengwu snorted coldly and said, "Rao? Sister, this is so easy to say, can you beg your aunt to spare me? If I were still the same Jing Shengwu who let you humiliate and bully, would you kneel on the ground and beg me? β
"Iβ"
Jing Shengwu's sharp eyes swept coldly over the silent crowd, and said in a cold voice: "Who else wants to accompany Aunt Jin, I will fulfill you together." β
Aunt Hua's body shook, shivered, and said with a dry smile: "Third Miss said that it was funny, we met Aunt Jin by chance, and we came here just to see if Miss San's body is better." β
Hearing this, the other aunts nodded busily and responded, "Yes, yes." β
"Third Miss, don't get me wrong, we are not all the way with Aunt Jin."
"Oh?" Jing Shengwu raised her eyebrows and said, "Aunt Hua, do you have anything else to say?" β
Aunt Hua's heart trembled, and she shook her head busily: "No, no, if the third lady has no other instructions, we will go back first." With that, Jing Shengfei, who didn't say a word, walked towards the door.
"Aunt Hua stays, you don't have anything to say to me, but today, I have something to say to you clearly."
Jing Shengwu chuckled and raised the black box in his hand, the precious red sandalwood is inlaid with jade as a box, the body is rectangular, the corners are slightly rounded, and the yellow pear is occasionally replaced, the edge of the cover box is embedded with jade, the characters are carved into the subtle, gorgeous and delicate, and it is a rare thing at first sight.
Aunt Fang Caihua was so focused on fighting for power with Jing Shengwu that she didn't pay attention to the little black box that she didn't leave her hand, and now she had time to take a closer look, and her face immediately changed.
"Looks like Aunt Hua remembers." Jing Shengwu smiled even more on his face, and said slowly: "This is the only thing my mother left me, when Aunt Hua loved the South China Sea Night Pearl very much, so she took the maid to my yard and forcibly took it away, so many years have passed, I feel guilty for my mother when I think about it, but now I don't think so, if my mother knows that a night pearl can help her daughter eradicate a thorn in the throat for many years, she must think it is worth it, Aunt Hua, what do you think?" β
Hearing this, Aunt Hua knelt on the ground with her legs weak, kowtowed to Jing Shengwu, and begged incessantly: "Third Miss forgiveness, it's all my money obsession, it's me who is blind and black-hearted to offend Third Miss, Third Miss forgiveness, Third Miss forgiveness, Third Miss forgiveness, in the future, I will definitely look forward to the third miss in this Hou Mansion, and beg the third miss to spare me." β
Jing Shengwu was happy to hear it, and a sarcastic smile appeared on his face: "Spare you?" I have spared you today, and will your mother and daughter spare me in the future? β
When the words fell, Aunt Hua's face was pale and gray.
There was silence in the room, and a faint mist of incense wafted through the small ruby-trimmed lid in the red stone smoker on the incense table.
"The third sister thunders to eliminate dissidents, isn't she afraid that her father will blame her?"
There was a gentle and quiet voice in his voice, and it was Jing Shengfei, who had always been quiet and silent, who spoke.
Jing Shengwu raised his eyes and looked up and down at this rarely seen seventh sister, among the young ladies of the Hou Mansion of Qi'an, she was the most different from Jing Shengfei, the previous Jing Shengwu was surprisingly cowardly and incompetent, while Jing Shengfei was surprisingly withdrawn and quiet.
After a while, Jing Shengwu's face was straight, and he was rarely solemn, and said: "Father, I will have my own statement, but I advise the seventh sister, if you want to stop me, you have to think clearly, is it worth it if you mourn for a thousand years." β
"The little sister is taught, and the third sister Xie reminds me." After finishing speaking, he didn't look at Aunt Hua with a begging face, turned around and walked out.
