That night, Shu Manyao had a rare good night's sleep. I went over to ask the old lady to say goodbye in the morning, but it was Jin Ling who came out and confessed to Shu Manyao: "The old lady didn't sleep well last night, and she was a little confused in the morning, so she slept again at this time, and before going to bed, she told the slave maid to let the eldest girl go to deal with the housework first, and come back at lunchtime." ”

Shu Manyao was busy, and carefully told Jin Ling to take care of the old lady, and then led them to leave in the summer.

"Girl, what should they do with Cizhu?" A mother-in-law came up and asked, Shu Manyao said last night that he was going to sell people today. Shu Manyao thought for a while and waved his hand directly: "Wait, I asked my grandmother to deal with it again." ”

She wanted to sell it directly, but Cizhu and the others were Shu Manjin and Shu Manyu's personal maids after all, in case they were bought by someone with a heart, spying on the news of the Shu family or something, or ruining the reputation of the Shu family's daughter or something, it would be bad.

She was a first-time seller, and she didn't know what was going on, so she really needed to ask her grandmother.

The woman retreated, and Shu Manyao called the ones who kept vigil last night: "You made a great contribution yesterday and caught the thieves who came to our Shu family to steal, so each person will be rewarded with two taels of silver, and in the future, you need to be as careful as yesterday, and if you catch the thief, this girl will also be rewarded." ”

The housekeeper director Shu Manyao is cooked, but in an hour, the pairs of cards that should be dealt have been issued, and the things that should be dealt with have also been disposed of. Seeing that the time was still early, he went back to his yard, and Dong Du had already asked people to inquire about the news and came back, so he came over and said: "The old lady took Mother Li, Mother Yao, and others yesterday to seal the courtyard of Madame, and all the people in Madame's courtyard were also taken into custody. About an hour later, the eldest young master didn't know how to get the news, and hurried over. ”

Shu Manyao squinted, Xu still has some ability, in that case, he can still let people go to Shu Zheming, it can be seen that he has not been completely suppressed.

"That Cao Wei was beaten with a reputation for theft, and the master had two of his legs broken, and then sent to the yamen." Winter Twilight lowered her voice: "It's just that Madame's side, she was just locked up in the Buddha Hall as usual, but the eldest young master was not allowed to visit again." ”

"Is it just locked up in the Buddha Hall?" Shu Manyao asked in a deep voice, originally thought that grandmother and father were just thinking about Shu Zheming and Shu Manjin's reputation, and they were also going to quietly let the Xu family die, but they didn't expect that they were just locked up in the Buddhist hall.

"Girl, don't be angry, the slave maid inquired, the original master said that he was going to make Xu's sick, and said that the Buddhist hall was cold, Xu's body couldn't stand it, and it would take two days to survive. But the old lady said, seeing that the eldest girl is almost over, if the lady dies at this time, the eldest girl will have to keep it for three years......" Winter Twilight said hurriedly, and Shu Manyao breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he frowned, if he waited for another three years, he was afraid that there would be a lot of mistakes in the middle. You know, Shu Zheming is not young now, and it is time to say goodbye in three years, and Shu Zheming will not be replaced by filial piety at that time?

Compared with himself, his grandmother and father must love Shu Zheming more, and they can delay Xu's death for three years for their marriage, so when it comes to Shu Zheming, they must not delay it for another three years?

Three years after three years, when the time comes, Xu may be able to turn over.

Therefore, you must not just forget it, even if you want to keep filial piety for three years, you have to kill the Xu family first, otherwise you will live up to your plan in vain. Besides, even if you keep it for three years, the worst situation is just the same as the previous life, in the previous life, your father can find someone like Yang Jianbai for yourself, is it possible that you can't get married in this life?

just can't get married, and be an old girl for a lifetime, she is only willing to stay in the Shu family without Xu's family.

"You quietly let people go out, find a little maid with a raw face, and go to Xu's nurse to report the news, and say that the Shu family decided to kill the Xu family quietly because the Xu family wanted to kill the little brother, and let the nurse go to the patriarch to be the master." Shu Manyao commanded softly, paused and explained: "Go to the Xu clan to find a token to bring with you, and you must let the people of the clan come over." ”

Winter Twilight was instructed, turned around and went out to find someone to do this. The nurse of the Xu family is also a person from Jiangnan East Road, but she followed the Xu family to the capital, and even the gate of the Shu family has only entered two or three times, and the maid and wife of the Shu family only recognize those in the Xu family's courtyard.

Therefore, Dong Du easily found someone, took the jade pendant that Xu Shicheng hung closely, and quietly went out to find Na Cao's mother.

Shu Manyao let out a long breath, and saw that it was almost noon, so he went over to say goodbye to the old lady, the old lady's face was still a little tired, in the end, she was old, she stayed up for most of the night, she was shocked and angry, and she had to think about what to do with Xu Shi when she turned around, and under her eyes, there was a large area of blue and black.

Shu Chengye didn't rest today, he rushed to the court again in the morning, and he hasn't come back yet. The grandfather and grandson had lunch quietly, and Shu Manyao personally served the soup to the old lady: "Grandmother, you use some, I specially asked the kitchen to prepare the soothing soup, you drink it and then go to sleep for a while." ”

The old lady touched Shu Manyao's hair with great relief, and thought of the words that Xu explained last night, and she hated Xu's teeth in her heart.

Originally, he looked at the face of Zheming and her daughters, and spared her life every time, but she didn't expect that she would be even more dissatisfied, and she wouldn't stop if she couldn't kill Manyao.

"Grandmother, how are things going on on my mother's side?" Shu Manyao secretly looked at the old lady's face, and asked hesitantly: "Although I stopped Man Jin and Man Yu's people yesterday and didn't let them know about this matter, I can stop it for a while, but I can't stop it for a lifetime." ”

The old lady frowned slightly, stopped drinking the soup, put down the bowl in her hand and said, "It's better to stop, if someone wants to inquire about the news, you just take the person down and sell it immediately." ”

"Speaking of selling, there is one more thing, Man Yao has to ask her grandmother." Shu Manyao hurriedly said: "The maids around the second sister and the third sister can't even serve the master well, I'm thinking about changing them, what do you think, grandmother?" ”

The old lady thought for a while before nodding: "It has to be replaced, if you break the master, it's not too much to kill you, and you sell those two." Ming'er took the roster and came over, and picked a group of little maids from the Zhuangzi or outside, I remember that there are still two big maids around you? I told you to choose two ...... before."

"Grandmother, there is no shortage of them around me." Shu Manyao hurriedly said: "Didn't I tell you before, Jing Chun and Jing Qiu were promoted, and then two more were promoted to the third class, and now there are enough people." ”

The old lady thought about it for a while before she remembered: "When people are old, they just can't remember things." ”

As he was talking, he saw Jin Ling hurriedly come in: "Old lady, a group of people came outside, saying that they are the patriarch of the Shu family, and there are many old people......

The old lady was stunned for a moment: "Patriarch? ”

Their family was originally a descendant of the Shu family, but after three generations, they slowly became far away from the family, and the entire Shu family had a weak connection, so the patriarch rarely took care of things, and in previous years, it was just to meet at the time of ancestor worship and festivals.

Now, why did the patriarch suddenly come to the door?

was puzzled, but the old lady didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly asked the patriarch and others to come in. The old lady has a decree on her body, but the patriarch has not come out, and although the patriarch's wife is a clan woman, she has no decree on her body, so the old lady does not have to salute.

"I've seen Lao Fengjun." The patriarch came in and saluted the old lady with a smile, and the old lady was busy getting up to return the salute, even if the patriarch was not an official, she didn't dare to slack off: "I haven't seen you for a few days, and the patriarch is getting more and more energetic." ”

"It's just a heart." The patriarch said with a smile, led a group of people to sit down next to him, and waited for the maids to bring tea before the patriarch asked, "The clan nephew has not come back yet?" ”

"Yes, he went to the court early this morning and hasn't come back yet." The old lady said busily, anyway, Shu Chengye's yamen is also in charge of food, so she doesn't have to worry about him being hungry outside.

"That's the same as what the old Fengjun said," the patriarch said with a smile, turning his head to look at the patriarch's wife, the patriarch's wife smiled and pulled the old lady: "Old sister-in-law, it's not me who is a younger brother and sister who said you, that Xu family, even if he made a little mistake, he won't just offset his life, but it's just an aunt, even if he pleases the nephew again, we can't spoil the concubine and kill the wife, right?" ”

The old lady was a little confused, but the patriarch's wife was a sharp-tongued woman: "Although the Xu family used to stay in Jiangnan, we have never seen each other, but these two times, I also see that she is peaceful, you just don't like her, and you have to think about Zheming and Manjin Manyu, right?" ”

"This, brother and sister, what aunt? What does it have to do with Aunt Wang? The old lady finally reacted: "Xu's is just because Man Jin and Man Yu are sick, and they are concerned, so they went to the Buddha Hall to pray for the blessing of the two children, what is the life to die, why don't I know about this?" ”

"You don't know?" The patriarch's wife was also a little stunned, their clan wanted to protect the face of the entire family. This morning, the nurse went to the door, and in order not to let outsiders see the joke, she hurriedly brought people into the house for questioning.

They don't think there's anything wrong with taking their lives for their lives, after all, if it's harmful to people's minds, it means that Xu's mind is not right. It's just that a wife pays for an aunt, this is a spoiled concubine and a wife, although no one in the family has a higher official position than Shu Chengye, but there are so many officials, if Shu Chengye's reputation spreads, the reputation of the entire Shu family will be bad.

The crime of spoiling a concubine and killing his wife is not big, but it is not small either. When no one is staring, even if you torture your wife to death, no one will be angry. But once targeted, this crime is enough to remove the official from office, and in more serious cases, he may even be exiled.

Therefore, the patriarch will bring people to the door to persuade him, that is, to kill the Xu family, and he can't use this statement to kill people. The most important thing is that the old slave who sued in the Shang clan has to be returned to Shu Chengye, so that Shu Chengye can take care of the person himself.

"I really don't know, there was a thief in the house yesterday, and I made a fuss all night, I was afraid that something would go wrong with the Xu family, so I stayed for most of the night until the thief was caught." The old lady was a little helpless: "It's Zheming, who also went to see Xu's in person, and went to school early in the morning." The Xu family is still staying in the Buddhist hall now, and I don't know where the rumors came from. ”
