"And such things! I heard rumors from outsiders that the eldest brother promoted him because he could speak well and settle accounts, but I didn't expect ......"

The sister-in-law shook her head and sighed: "People's hearts are unpredictable, your eldest brother was originally kind to use him, but I didn't expect that now he is lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot, and there are words of suffering!" ”

"If it's really as my sister-in-law said, that guy is so bold, why didn't the eldest brother find an excuse to drive him away?"

"How can it be that easy? That Li Liang is very valued by his wife now, don't talk about him, you see that the women in our yard are all sent by his wife, how can he drive people away casually for no reason? Besides, even if this one is driven away, there is another one, who knows if the next one will be even more powerful, alas! ”

Looking at their situation, Ling'er also has a headache, life is like this, it is better to move out and set up a household on their own. The sister-in-law also sighed helplessly: "I knew that this was the situation in this family, I should have begged my father-in-law to divide the family and move out, even if the life is poorer, it will always be much easier!" ”

The eldest brother looked at his sister-in-law apologetically: "Lan Xin, I made you suffer!" ”

The sister-in-law shook her head: "I don't care, but Xiao Ming is still so young, I have to stay in this place all the time, I'm really worried that if I have an accident, how will Xiao Ming live in the future?" ”

The eldest brother hurriedly said: "No, no, Lan Xin, don't talk nonsense." ”

The sister-in-law looked at the eldest brother sadly: "Xianggong, I never thought like this before, but today this incident made me understand that there is no place for our mother and son in this family." My sister is right, I don't think about myself but also for my children, Xianggong. If you really feel sorry for our mother and son, let's go and beg my father-in-law together, and ask him to allow us to move out separately, right? ”

The eldest brother paused. Her eyes flickered and she looked at him without speaking, and her sister-in-law lowered her head in disappointment. After that, a few people just ate silently and didn't say anything. The atmosphere was so depressing that Ling'er ate a few bites and got up to leave.

Coming out of the courtyard of the big house, Ling'er was still depressed, and she didn't even dare to speak with the lotus. The group didn't go far. Chrysanthemum whispered, "Miss, who do you think is that?" ”

Ling'er followed the direction she pointed and saw a red skirt corner faintly revealing behind the pillar of the octagonal pavilion a few meters away. The color was too dazzling, and Ling'er recognized it at a glance as the red-clothed concubine who had escaped from the far door before.

Ling'er gave the lotus a few people, and a few people nodded, and quietly surrounded the pavilion. Ling'er walked into the pavilion from the front. Squinted at the red-clothed concubine, and saw that she was disheveled, still wearing her previous dress, her hair had not been tied, and there were two big slap marks on her cheeks.

Ling'er smiled secretly in her heart, it seems that this woman didn't get good when she ran to see Mrs. Jiang!

When the red-clothed concubine saw Ling'er coming in, she shrank timidly in the corner of the pavilion, looking at Ling'er with frightened eyes: "You... What do you want? ”

Ling'er found a place to sit down next to the entrance. sneered: "What do you say I want to do?" ”

"You...... Don't go too far, I... I've already told Madame. Sooner or later, Madame will have to settle accounts with you. ”

"Huh, really? Why didn't Madame come to me to settle accounts? I'm waiting for her at any time! It's you, baba ran to find Mrs. to support you, and the result? Did Madame ignore you? ”

The red-clothed concubine's face suddenly turned pale, and her eyes were full of anger, and she could see that her anger was not directed at herself. Ling'er thought about it, this woman was taken into the house by Mrs. Jiang, she thought she could live a good life, but it turned out to be far from what she imagined, and now she was wronged to sue and was slapped twice by Mrs. Jiang, it is strange that she does not hate it in her heart.

Ling'er lowered her voice and said, "Osmanthus, let me ask you, can your deed of sale be in the hands of Madame?" ”

Osmanthus was stunned for a moment, looked at her vigilantly, and Ling'er smiled: "You have figured it out, as long as your deed of sale is still in the hands of Madame, you will always be her marionette, she will give birth if she wants you to live, and she will die if she wants you to die." But I'm different from you, I'm the master of Jiangfu's righteous and bright future, my father loves me, and my wife can't help me, but she can't help me when I go against her. ”

Osmanthus looked flashed: "What do you mean?" ”

"You're so smart, how can you not know what I mean?"

Osmanthus thought for a moment, and sneered: "You don't want to use me!" ”

Ling'er smiled and said: "If you want to be used, you must also have the value of use, you have to understand, Mrs. and I are not afraid, you can't help it if you blatantly beat you halfway, but... You know that Madame and I don't deal with each other, you? What do you think? ”

Osmanthus flickered and hesitated for a long time, then raised her eyes and said, "What do you want?" ”

Ling'er smiled: "It's simple to talk to smart people, I don't want anything, I just want to know what Madame does every day, or what she wants to do?" ”

Osmanthus flashed in her eyes: "That...... So what's in it for me? ”

"What benefits do you want?"

"I ...... I want my deed of sale, and a thousand taels of silver. ”

Ling'er sneered: "Do you think you're worth so much money?" ”

"Don't underestimate me, I was a famous prostitute in Jiangzhou at the beginning......" Looking at Ling'er's eyes, Osmanthus herself had no confidence to speak, she used to be beautiful for a few days, but now she is old and yellow, and her life is getting more and more sad day by day, otherwise how could she fall to such a point?

The two looked at each other for a long time, and Osmanthus retreated: "Okay, I have to sell my deed, and I have to eliminate the slavery; I can't live without money after I leave, so you have to give me at least five hundred taels of silver. ”

Ling'er shook her head and stretched out a finger: "It's only one hundred taels." ”

"Too little, three hundred taels."

"Two hundred taels."

In the end, the two were sold for two hundred and fifty taels. Then Ling'er left with the lotus flower, and the osmanthus sat in the corner of the pavilion and was stunned for a long time, seeing that the sky was almost dark, she slowly got up and walked to the courtyard of the big house.

Ling'er and his party returned to their courtyard, and Lotus said, "Miss, is that little concubine credible?" What if she tells Madame about today's events? ”

Ling'er affirmed: "No." ”

"Why?"

"Because Madame not only won't give her a deed of sale but will always guard against her, she is not even as good as an ordinary maid in Madame's eyes, and the only one in this courtyard who dares to be an enemy of Madame and can help her is me, she is a smart person, this is better than anyone else."

"But...... It's not easy to get a deed of sale! ”

"As long as you want to do it, there is a way, by the way, the deed of sale of a few of you is still in her hands, right? Don't worry, when my dad is in a good mood, he will give you back. ”

When the lotus people heard this, they were all happy, and the chrysanthemum said, "Miss, that ...... Pear blossom over there......"

"Her brother is ungrateful, how much better could she be?"

Chrysanthemum nodded: "Yes, it's all because the slave maid is not accurate in seeing people, and almost missed Miss's big event, please punish Miss." ”

"It's okay, knowing people and knowing faces doesn't know hearts, people will change, who can get it right?" (To be continued......)
