Lu Fang's matter, because he was at fault first, and he committed suicide in fear of sin, after Lu Steward carried the person back, he hugged Lu Fangniang and cried for a while, and finally wiped his tears and buried the person somewhere.

Tong Jingxuan and his wife saw that the deceased was the most important, and ordered the little servant to wrap 500 taels of silver and send it over.

Steward Lu and his wife were upset, and after Lu Fang was buried, Tete came to ask to see Tong Jingxuan.

"When the erector does such a thing, the old slave has no way to teach his son, and he is deeply ashamed." Steward Lu and his wife knelt in front of Tong Jingxuan together, but it was just one night, their faces were full of wrinkles, and their hair was half white.

"Steward Lu, please." Tong Jingxuannian lost his son in their old age, and specially promised them a month off, but it was reasonable for them to come this time.

Steward Lu took out two silver tickets from his purse, totaling 1,500 taels, "This 1,000 taels is the old slave's savings over the years, and 500 taels is the reward of the Hou Ye two days ago." Although the erector died, the old slave couple had to think of ways to make up for the mistakes he made, but it was far less than the more than 3,400 taels he stole from. For the rest of the day, the old slave and his wife will continue to do their best to repay the debts owed by the ruler and make up for his mistakes. ”

"A man dies like a lamp goes out, and those faults need not be mentioned again." Tong Jingxuan did not accept the silver ticket, saying that the matter had been revealed.

Steward Lu and his wife thanked him for saying goodbye, and bought gifts to visit the pearl lady.

Pearl Niang Laozi, like Steward Lu, is the son of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, and they both live in the northwest corner of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, in a courtyard specially opened for the people in the mansion.

After hearing the news of Lu Fang's death, Pearl rushed to the firewood room, witnessed Lu Fang's death, and fainted on the spot.

Lu couldn't, so he invited a doctor for diagnosis and treatment, and when she woke up, he gave her leave.

Now, Pearl is recuperating at home, under the care of her mother.

When the steward Lu and his wife entered the door with gifts, Pearl sat on the big kang by the window of his room with a stunned face.

On an early spring day, she was wearing a small jacket, her hair was in a loose bun, her face was pale, and her whole person was curled up in the quilt and shivering.

Pearl father and brother and sister-in-law both have positions, and they go out early in the morning to be busy, only Pearl Niang is at home with her little granddaughter.

Seeing that Steward Lu and his wife came to the door, her face sank, and she blocked the person outside the door and said: "Your son made a mistake first, and our beautiful girl was delayed by him!" ”

Steward Lu barely squeezed out a smile on his face, and Lu Fangniang lowered his head behind him to wipe his tears.

"Sister-in-law Lin, Fang Zi did something wrong, and we, as Lao Tzu Niang, are also responsible. Pearl is a good girl, she is the blessing of the old Tong family, and she can't marry such a good daughter-in-law. These gifts are not respectful, Fang Zi used to offend something, the old man and the old woman saluted you, I hope you have a large number of adults, for the sake of the deceased, let him be spared. ”

After Steward Lu finished speaking, he and Lu Fangniang bowed their hands to Pearl Niang, deeply embarrassed.

"Yo! He came to make amends, not to ask for sin! After Pearl Niang knew the intentions of the two, she was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly let people into the house, "Steward Lu, Fang Ziniang, come into the house and sit!" ”

Steward Lu shook his head, "We just finished doing white things, and we are unlucky, so we won't add bad luck to Sister-in-law Lin." ”

Pearl Lady was even more reluctant to go.

Although Lu Fang did something wrong, her family and Lu Steward's family have always had a good relationship, and when Lu Fang died, none of them went to mourn.

But I don't blame them, the land side made a mistake and committed suicide in fear of crime, who in the house doesn't avoid the Lu steward's family, and who still rushes to find bad luck?

Pearl Lady thought so in her heart, and felt that everything was Lu Fang's fault.

She even dared to raise a woman outside, her daughter looked like a flower, and that kid was not satisfied!

It's more than innocent!

"Then you're busy, so we won't bother." After Steward Lu and Fang Ziniang put down their gifts, they bowed their hands to Pearl Niang again, raised their feet and left.

"Hey! We can't ask for this gift! Pearl's mind turned a thousand times, and when she came back to her senses, Steward Lu and his wife had walked five or six steps away, and she had to hold her little granddaughter and shout at the backs of the two.

"Sister-in-law, you can take it." Fang Ziniang turned her head and said with red circles in her eyes, and finally couldn't help shedding two lines of tears.

Pearl Niang's face was sneering, "Sister-in-law, you have to mourn and change!" ”

Fang Ziniang nodded and wiped her tears away.

After the people left, Pearl Lady brought the large bags of gifts into the house and went to Pearl's boudoir.

Seeing that Pearl looked like he was not giving up, he was a little angry in his heart, "The useless one is dead, and if he dies, he will die, with your conditions, why worry about not finding a better one, why bother feeling sorry for himself here!" ”

It's not that Pearl Niang boasts, the appearance of pearls is top-notch in this Hou Mansion girl.

Even the forsythia who was not very good and was the same age as the pearl, but he was lucky, and went to serve in the second lady's house, and when the lady was pregnant with the third young master, he didn't let the forsythia serve the second master.

Now, forsythia wears gold and silver, and the braids have to be warped to fill in!

Although she is just a girl in the room, she is also the second master's roommate, even the forsythia father, when walking on weekdays, the waist board is straighter than others.

Pearl listened to her mother's words, and didn't even move her eyelids.

"Alas! Tell me about you, what is it like to nest on the kang like this! As soon as the pearl lady saw her daughter like this, she didn't feel angry in her heart.

Pearl simply lay down on her side and covered her head with a quilt.

"You are favored by Mrs.'s side, Mrs. can't you plan it, I'm afraid that because of this matter, I feel guilty in my heart, and I will find a better one for you."

Pearl Niang sighed and sat down on the edge of the kang with her little granddaughter in her arms.

"You are the meat that fell from your mother's body, can your mother not think about you? Now that Mrs. is pregnant, and there is no one to serve Master Hou, with your talent and appearance, you are taking care of Lord Hou for Mrs., and that is also the case."

"Mother!" Pearl suddenly lifted the quilt, sat up with a hideous expression, and said sharply: "If you still want your daughter to live in this mansion, don't mention this again!" Otherwise, half of the rumors will be leaked, and my daughter will only die! ”

Seeing that Pearl's face was distorted, Pearl Niang was excited, and she was also a little scared, so she hurriedly put her little granddaughter aside, stepped forward and hugged Pearl's shoulders, shed two tears and said, "Mother is not planning for you." You child, how can you be so stubborn! ”

Pearl was silent in tears.

There was an indescribable bitterness in my heart.

Since the second year after Mrs. entered the door, she gave birth to the eldest girl Tong Xue, she has been serving in Mrs. Yard, from the initial little girl to the second-class girl, and then to the personal big girl next to Mrs., the relationship between Mrs. and Hou Ye, she sees it in her eyes.

Hou Ye has a tall posture, comfortable eyebrows, and is extravagant.

However, no matter how majestic he was outside, in front of his wife, he always looked gentle and affectionate.

In this Hou Mansion, there are only a few girls who secretly promise Hou Yefang.

However, over the years, even if Mrs. only gave birth to two eldest girls and two second girls, Hou Ye has never had the idea of taking a concubine, and there is not even a girl who warms the bed, how can she be able to enter the eyes of Hou Ye?

If she showed a thought in front of the Hou Ye, she was afraid that before the lady made a move, she would be solved by the Hou Ye first.

There are thousands of women in this world, and the only one who can really enter the eyes of the marquis is the lady.
